As the entrance to the New World, Sabaodi Archipelago could be said to be quite prosperous.
But at this moment, a huge monster completely destroyed it!
"Retreat!"
The Marines were closing in to the lawless zone from the distant island. They evacuated the civilians outside the lawless area while rushing towards the Nine-Tails.
Although the World Governments were filled with rotten people, and there were many degenerates in their ranks, but these Marines from the headquarters at the very least followed the justice that they believed in.
A horde of Marines protected the order of this island that would meet its destruction soon. Perhaps such a thing had never happened in this place. No one dared to go against the World Government, including the most rampant pirates in the New World!
Sabaodi Archipelagowasn't that far from the Holy Land Mary Geoise and Marine Headquarters. The reinforcements from both places arrived very quickly, and the Admiral that was heading to Sabaody Archipelago at this moment was Admiral Sengoku!
"Sigh, why does this have to happen when I'm an Admiral. What a hassle."
Sengoku could already see Nine-Tails rampaging even though there was still quite a distance from Sabaody Archipelago. His expression was grim. Because of this monster, the Marines and World Government's reputation would be tarnished?
Fleet Admiral Kong told Sengoku to handle this matter well before he retired. In order to ensure this, Sengoku asked his two old friends to come as well.
They were Vice-Admiral Garp and Vice-Admiral Zephyr!
Sengoku was an Admiral, whereas Garp and Z were Vice-Admirals, but their strength was already at Admiral-level. Sengoku was the oldest of the three. He was a year older than Garp and five years older than Z.
Garp didn't want to be the Celestial Dragons' bodyguard, so he refused to be promoted to an Admiral. On the other hand, since Z was still young, Fleet Admiral Kong decided to promote him to an Admiral in two years.
A 38-year old Admiral was considered young. At least no one became an Admiral at that age in the history of the Marine.
At this moment, Sengoku brought his two old friends to prove Marine's seriousness.
"Is this… the Nine-Tailed Fox mentioned in the news? Is it a Mythical Zoan user?" Garp said solemnly on the deck.
This guy is even more powerful than those lawless pirates in the New World.
"That's unlikely. There is indeed Devil Fruit that allows its consumer to transform into a Nine-Tailed Fox in Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, but it's nothing like the monster before us."
There was indeed a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit called Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Nine-Tailed Fox Dog, and the Marines naturally had information about this Devil Fruit. But as far as they know, the Beast Form of that Devil Fruit was nothing like the monster in front of them.
"Faster!"
Soon...
But just as they were about to arrive at Sabaodi Archipelago, Z suddenly noticed someone.
"Someone is standing on the sea…?"
Z frowned. He carefully looked at that person and discovered that the person was wearing a black robe with a hood covering his head. The person was also wearing a vortex-like mask.
"He is a bit suspicious..."
Garp also followed Z's gaze and couldn't help but rub his chin.
Judging from the appearance, the man they saw couldn't be a good person.
"Let's forget about him for now. The most important thing now is to deal with that Nine-Tailed Fox." Sengoku also felt that there was something wrong with this person, but this was not the right time for that.
As the Admiral that led this force, he ought to stop the Nine-Tails.
At this moment, Nine-Tails destroyed anything in its path, including the auction house and the audience.
Genichi deliberately targeted only the wealthy people that participated in the auction and made sure that the slaves were unscathed.
However, he did not let the Marines go either.
Perhaps some of these people were good people, but they served the biggest foundation of this rotten world. Their justice served the wrong people, so Genichi would not show mercy.
The Marines fired their guns at the Nine Tails relentlessly, but this level of attack was not even itchy for the Nine-Tails. A strike from Nine-Tails' claw left wailing of agony in its wake, but it would not stop just because of that.
At this moment, the Nine-Tails nearly destroyed everything within area 1-29. All the lawless zone fell apart because of his overwhelming power. Be it the gangsters, the rich businessmen who participated in the auction, the Marines who stood up against him or some of the Celestial Dragons who happened to came there, They all died at his claws' mercy.
His scarlet eyes looked at the next island, which was area 30. From then on, it was no longer a lawless zone. There were many people who visited that place to have fun, but he did not seem to have any intention of retreating. When it was about to enter area 30….
"Shockwave!"
A tall figure emitting a golden light appeared in front of the Nine-Tails, catching the Nine-Tails off guard and its feet were hit.
Sengoku had arrived! When Nine-Tails was about to wreak havoc beyond the lawless zone, the reinforcements from the Marine headquarters finally arrived. Moreover, Sengoku, as the leader, instantly entered his Beast Form!
Boom!
A golden shockwave was blasted out from Sengoku's Golden Buddha. Although the Golden Buddha was also huge, it was nowhere as big as the Nine-Tails. However, one's strength often had nothing to do with size.
At this moment, Sengoku used his full strengt, pushing Nine-Tails back to the edge of area 29.
"Don't let it take another step forward! Otherwise, our justice will be tarnished!"
Sengoku shouted loudly. The Marines behind him suddenly became excited. Garp then jumped up. His arm was already covered by the powerful Color of Arms Haki, boosting his offensive power.
Then...
He punched Nine-Tails' head!
"What a tough guy!"
Garp's punch did hit the Nine-Tails' head, and it did seem to injure it, but...
"!"
The Nine-Tails suddenly retaliated after being overwhelmed by Garp's punch for a second!
Those scarlet pupils seemed to house bottomless pressure!
"Roar!"
