Tanuki: Die! White Dove: Don't Even Think About Hurting Them!

After only a few exchanges, Comil was trembling all over, and his twin swords nearly slipped from his grasp.

He realized that the gap between himself and Tanuki was too great, and even with the addition of the other lieutenant Vice Admiral, they were no match for him.

Shame and helplessness instantly filled his heart, and Comil felt immense pressure surging within him.

Could it be that the Tanuki is really going to break through the barriers and rescue the Fox?

Wouldn't that mean the capture plan, which the Marine Headquarters had painstakingly devised, was going to fail?

If that's the case, wouldn't he become a sinner of the Navy if he, as a key force in intercepting the Tanuki, failed to hold the line?

No, for the sake of justice, he would rather die than let the Tanuki stop him!

Comil drew his sword and attacked the Tanuki with all his might, but the difference in their strength was too great. In no time, even though the Tanuki deliberately held back, Comil was still covered in wounds and teetering on the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, the Tanuki knew that if it didn't act soon, it would beat its old boss to death.

Therefore, he decisively used the close-range communication between his Wood Clone to send a message to the White Dove.

Upon receiving the message, White Hawk Eyes's White Dove suddenly contracted. He could no longer be entangled by Hawk Eyes; he had to escape as soon as possible!

A resolute glint flashed in Ivan's eyes. Even though he knew that using this tactic would expose part of his strength and elevate his public identity to that of a top-tier Yonko commander, he was absolutely unwilling to personally harm a true righteous Marine like Comil.

Without further hesitation, he gripped Yubashiri tightly and unleashed his full power to its limit, even without the aid of High-Speed Calculation.

Hawk Eyes noticed that Ivan was charging up his attack, but he didn't intend to stop him. Instead, he looked forward to the attack finishing.

He yearned to witness powerful sword techniques; this was his lifelong passion and the fundamental reason why he became the World's Greatest Swordsman!

After gathering its strength, the Yubashiri turned from pitch black to Haki, resembling rolling lava.

But this was not the end; a deep, dark blue-black hue enveloped Yubashiri.

In an instant, the Yubashiri blade tore through space, creating a series of dark cracks!

After doing all this, Ivan suddenly drew his sword. "One Sword Style - Zi - World-Cutting Slash!"

The moment the knife was swung out, Hawk Eyes's expression changed drastically.

An unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped his entire body, his Observation Haki frantically issuing warnings, and a bone-chilling sense of danger overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

At that moment, every cell in his body was screaming, frantically shouting two words: "Get out of the way!"

Hawk Eyes acted on instinct without hesitation. Without thinking, he shot to the side at incredible speed.

Almost the instant he dodged, a jet-black slash burst forth from Ivan's blade, instantly piercing through space and leaving a twisted black crack.

Wherever the cleaving light passed, everything was obliterated!

Immediately afterwards, this earth-shattering World-Cutting Slash crashed down on the island, instantly splitting the ground into bottomless ravines.

The ravines spread rapidly, almost splitting the island where the G-2 Branch was located in two!

However, even so, the power of the strike was far from exhausted.

The remaining force cleaved straight into the sea, carving a deep trench hundreds of meters deep into the ocean floor.

Even the Sky Manipulation was ripped open with a narrow crack, and the clouds were instantly torn apart!

Thus, heaven and earth were divided in two!

This is the World-Cutting Slash power enhanced by the Hollow Technique "this"!

Even the Four Emperors couldn't withstand this attack!

The devastating aftershocks swept in all directions, drawing everyone's attention to the strike that cleaved the sea in two, and the battlefield fell into a brief, deathly silence.

Garp, who was facing off against Ivan, suddenly stopped his attack upon seeing this, turned around and grinned at the White Dove not far away. "Hahaha, this kid is not to be underestimated!"

Taking advantage of Hawk Eyes's momentary lapse in attention, White Dove swung her sword, forcing the opponent back. Without hesitation, she turned and darted towards the direction where the Tanuki and Comil were fighting. "Vice Admiral Comil, I'm here to help you!"

After the White Dove left, Hawk Eyes remained rooted to the spot, his golden pupils fixed on the sea that had been split in two.

The power of this strike had already exceeded the limit of his slashing ability.

In terms of pure swordsmanship, he was confident that he far surpassed White Dove. However, the Devil Fruit ability that Ivan added to his swordsmanship increased the destructive power of his swordsmanship several times over, thus surpassing him.

At that moment, Hawk Eyes's heart skipped a beat:

If I could eat a Devil Fruit suitable for a swordsman, with my own swordsmanship foundation, my strength would definitely reach the level of a Sea Emperor!

But the thought only flashed through his mind, and he decisively abandoned it.

After all, his lifelong dream was simply to become the strongest swordsman, nothing more.

Regardless of the fruit, regardless of the power, it depends solely on the knife in hand and the sword in the heart!

On the other side, the Tanuki's wind blades arrived in front of Comil in an instant. Comil had barely managed to stand up when he was powerless to dodge and could only endure the sharp wind blade strikes.

At this critical moment, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of Comil. White Dove held the Yubashiri Blade, its blade covered in heavy Armament Haki, and swiftly blocked in front of him.

Clang!

A crisp metallic clang rang out as Yubashiri steadily blocked the wind blade, the violent force of the wind being completely neutralized by the blade.

White Dove turned to the side, looking worriedly at Comil behind her. "Vice Admiral Comil, are you alright?"

Comil shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing."

White Dove nodded slightly, and Ziguang refocused on the Tanuki: "Vice Admiral Comil, leave the rest to me. With me here, you will not be harmed in the slightest!"

Gumir looked at the tall back of the white pigeon, and then raised his eyes to look at the remaining traces of the slash that split the heaven and earth in the distance. His heart was both moved and filled with emotion.

He suddenly remembered that when White Dove first joined the G-2 Branch, he was just a green colonel. Now, in just a few months, he had grown into Vice Admiral, the same rank as him, and his strength was unfathomable.

Indeed, this vast ocean has never lacked geniuses; what it lacks are monsters capable of breaking free from its constraints.

The Vice Admiral White Dove before them was undoubtedly one of the monsters, perhaps even the most powerful one!

At this moment, the Tanuki and the White Dove began to clash. Both of them could fly, and they rushed out at the same time, immediately engaging in battle.

The battle between the two was far more intense than the fight between Tanuki and Vice Admiral Comil, second only to the battle between Garp and the Fox in the center of the battlefield.

But this is what outsiders think. In reality, the two used all their strength to create special effects during the battle, so the consumption was not significant.

The two Wood Clone looked at each other, then glanced at the group of Comil cheering for the White Dove not far away, and felt a little guilty.

He was the one who wounded Vice Admiral Comil, and he was also the one who saved Vice Admiral Comil; in fact, Vice Admiral Comil even had to thank him.

Hopefully, Vice Admiral Comil won't blame him once his identity is revealed.

As the battle continued, the White Dove fell into a disadvantageous position; on the surface, he was no match for the Tanuki.

Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield, the battle between Ivan and Garp is about to come to a conclusion!
