"I am... the end!"
Aatrox's declaration was so clear even several kilometers away.
He let loose his undisguised malice. Because of that Roger and his crews had no choice but to stop because of this loud voice.
"What a power..."
Rayleigh couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder the Marine would send so many troops."
Roger raised his head and saw that the black clouds in the sky were swirling at this moment. The demon that was responsible for this disaster should be at the center of the black cloud.
He used Color of Observation Haki and was shocked almost immediately.
"What's wrong?"
"It seems that the Marine..." Roger looked ahead and muttered, "It's almost over, we have to hurry!"
Rayleigh and Gaban looked at each other with eyes full of disbelief.
No way, why did it sound like the Marine was about to be defeated?
There were Sengoku and Garp there, and it hadn't been that long since they saw the darkness appraoching, and they were about to be defeated already?
How... how was that possible!
However, at this moment, Roger had already rushed to where the fight was with all his might.
"We can't fall behind either!"
Rayleigh shouted and picked up his pace.
...
Boom!
The sound from the clash kept resounding. Aatrox once again pushed Sengoku, Garp, and Sing back.
After exchanging a few moves, Aatrox felt that his body was deteriorating.
It seemed that even if he had enhanced Bullet's body in advance, this result was still inevitable in the end...
However, it was within his expectations. After all, he never had high hopes of Bullet.
Then again, it should be enough to deal with these people now. Aatrox's strength was completely beyond their level, if only his vessel didn't deteriorate...
"Is this the rebels of this era?"
Aatrox looked at the panting Sengoku and the others and couldn't help but laugh. "Weak! Too weak!"
"If this is all you got, then don't bother. You might as well just wait for the end of this world at your home."
"Damn it...!" Garp panted. His right arm was cut off from the get-go, and now he was covered in bruises, while Aatrox was almost completely unharmed!
Was the difference between them that huge?
Shaji was also a little exhausted at the side, while Tunfo was busy fighting Sing, far away from the battlefield.
Although Sing didn't have much chance of winning against Tunfo, it might be best for him not to face Aatrox.
Sing is the future hope of the Marine. His survival was more valuable than anyone else!
"There are many strong people in this world, and there are a lot of strong people in the sea. Do you think you can destroy the world just like that? You are too naive! Your era has long passed. If you have something against this world, you should've finished it thousand years ago!" Garp said loudly.
They could feel the hatred from Aatrox's word. They knew that he must have experienced something terrible in the past, but so what?
Not everyone could live a happy life!
Do you want the whole world to suffer because of your own misfortune?
"Listen to me, Garp..."
At this time, Sengoku was panting beside him. He whispered in Garp's ear,
"We have to retreat. Fleet Admiral Kong should have evacuated the citizens away. We have to leave this place quickly."
Sengoku had already received an order from Kong. They must not die here. Once things went south and they Aatrox went out of hands, the whole world would turn upside down!
Now that Garp had lost one of his hands, and Shaji did not seem to want to continue fighting. At this rate, they would die!
Sengoku was not afraid of dying in battle, but just as Fleet Admiral Kong said, they could not die yet!
"Don't joke around."
"Do you think we can leave just because we want to?" Garp asked in a low voice.
Sengoku was taken aback. That was right! It wasn't up to them to decide whether they could leave or not.
It was up to the Demon Lord before them!
"No one can leave, no one can escape..."
Aatrox overheard their conversation and suddenly shouted, " Come! Fight me to death! Fight! Otherwise, you will be forgotten!"
Aatrox swung his sword, creating a flying slash wave that was aimed at Sengoku. Sengoku was ready! He used Buddhist Palm in his Golden Buddha form and imbued it with Color of Arms Haki!
But his Buddhist Palm was easily pierced through by the sheer force of the compressed air blade. Garp also threw a Color of Arms Haki-coated punch using his remaining left arm. The impact sent both Garp and Sengoku flying.
Things got worse as Shaji suddenly turned into snow and suddenly disappeared…
Sengoku was stunned. Although he already knew that Shaji no longer had any reason to stay behind after Aatrox materialized, his escape left Sengoku in despair.
They could barely fend off Aatrox with Shaji's help, and there were only two of them now...
Could they only accept the fate of death?
He and Garp were both pushed back by the compressed air blade, but they were not out of danger yet. Sengoku's body was about to be cut open in the next second. However, they didn't have the strength to stop the compressed air blade now.
"... How frustrating, I don't wanna die yet!"
Sengoku slowly closed his eyes. He couldn't dodge the compressed air blade.
Suddenly, a burst of power erupted. Sengoku thought that the compressed air blade had hit him, only to realize that the ground around him was suddenly cut open. Aatrox's compressed air blade was then stopped by another compressed air blade!
"Then don't die yet."
A man's voice sounded in Sengoku's ears. He opened his eyes again and looked at the person who came to his rescue.
"Roger!"
"Although you are a Marine and I am a pirate, we are both humans, right?"
Roger grinned. He held Ace in his hand and looked at Bullet who had transformed into Darkin. Aatrox said in a deep voice,
"How about we send this devil back to hell first before settling the fight between us?"
