Chapter 422 - Chapter 422: Battle Throughout Mariejois

"Huh, the hell are you talking about!?" "Taking away someone's haki? Is that even possible?" Stated Shiki and Roger, respectively, as they glanced at Linlin and Shanks in surprise while Rocks and Whitebeard were flung into the distance, leaving behind a trail of blood after suffering a wound.

"Guarararara, you died too early, Roger, but that red-haired brat can 'kill' ones observation haki. He's been dubbed the moniker, 'Killer of Observation'." Remarked Whitebeard with a smirk as he wiped blood from his mouth while gazing at Diddy, who violently swung his bo-staff, launching a terrifyingly powerful lightning bolt that arched through the sky before separating into six smaller yet just as deadly bolts of lightning.

"Beastly Thunder!" Yelled Diddy with a ferocious grin as his lightning bolts hit his targets, engulfing them in a massive explosion that briefly illuminated the sky in bright blue light.

"If you've had that up your sleeve, why haven't you bothered to use it!?" Asked Shiki in annoyance as he emerged from the smoking, glaring at Shanks while lunging at Diddy, launching numerous sharp blades of wind his way.

"Tsk, were you listening to us you floating fossil? Kong can also 'kill' our observation; if Red-haired uses his, it'll prompt Kong to use his own!" Remarked Linlin in annoyance as she side-glanced Shiki while reaching into her head, only to remove a large piece of her soul before stuffing it into a nearby sword.

"FOSSIL!? You're the oldest one among us, you fat ugly bitch! I still find it hard to believe that sexy, voluptuous woman is you! I'm not dreaming, am I, Urgh, W-Whitebeard?" Said Shiki in annoyance as he scoffed while poting at Linlin with his sword, only to raise them into the air, blocking a powerful swing of Diddy's bo-staff, launching him into the distance like a missile.

"Guararara, unfortunately no!" Replied Whitebeard with a smirk as he stabbed his naginata into the ground only to seemingly grasp the very air as if it were a physical object.

"Shima Yurashi!" Stated Whitebeard with a grin as he pulled to the side, causing the entire Redline to tremble violently from the might of the gura gura no mi.

Knocking away both Linlin and Roger, I turned and glanced at Whitebeard, who was staring at me with a grin as he shook all of the Redline, causing me to grin at his seemingly provocative expression.

"Wahahahaha, it's always so terrifying when you really let loose!" Said Roger with a smirk as he wiped blood from his mouth while gazing at Whitebeard, only to watch as the world itself began to tilt.

"Xebahahaha, you've grown, Edward!" "Tsk, don't call me that!" Said Rocks and Whitebeard, respectively, as the former loudly laughed.

"Two can play that game, Whitebeard!" Stated Diddy with a chaotic grin as he concentrated all of his haki around his hand, only to slam his palm onto the ground while a wave of haki washed throughout the Redline.

With my powerful haki, I managed to bring the tilting world to a halt as I began to ever so slowly overpower Whitebeard, forcefully pushing his hands to where they started while returning the world to its rightful state.

"He overpowered the man that could destroy the world." "That's more terrifying! Wahahahaha!" Stated Shiki and Roger, respectively, as they glanced at Diddy, only for the latter to erupt into laughter.

Although I managed to overpower Whitebeard's attempt at destroying Mariejois, it wasn't easy; if it were merely a concentrated attack aimed towards me, it would've been rather easy, but for such a widespread attack, that wasn't anywhere near as easy as I had made it seem.

Not only did one need to have amazing control of their haki, but it would also need to be strong enough to overpower Whitebeard, which wasn't an easy feat; the only person here besides me that had stronger haki than Whitebeard was Rocks, and it was merely by a slight edge, as for Shanks and Roger, their haki was about equal to his.

"Hahahaha, you don't get to destroy the world, Whitebeard! That's my job! Beastly Extinction!" Stated Diddy with a ferocious grin as he leaped into the air, surging his haki through his bo-staff before violently attacking the six, forcing them to block the attack that devastated everything it touched, leaving behind a massive crater atop the Redline.

"Hmph, what is that child doing? If that attack of Whitebeards had been allowed to happen, it would've caused irreversible damage to Mariejois." Said Mars in slight annoyance as he glared into the distance, eyeing the terrifyingly dangerous battle taking place, resulting in all of Mariejois violently shaking.

"We can always rebuild Mars. Chaos Kong's death supersedes all." Said Peter calmly as he glanced at Mars before shifting his focus to the secondary war, watching as a two-hundred-plus million army was being trampled through like they didn't exist.

"Such a waste of resources and of manpower." "It is to be expected; most of the soldiers don't have a clue as to what haki is." Said Warcurry and Nusjuro, respectively, as they looked at the war with an indifferent gaze, uncaring about the thousands of lives that were lost every minute.

"Will Chaos Kong be defeated? If it takes too long, the army will be defeated, and the pirates will reach us." Asked Saturn as he glanced at Diddy before looking at Peter, seemingly the one who had orchestrated the whole trap.

"It would've taken much longer, but after Chaos Kong helped them return to their peak strength, it shouldn't take long; no more than a few days." "Hmm, I see. Though it is questionable if the army will last that long." Said Peter and Mars, respectively, as the latter rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression, gazing at the war.

"They will last; even if they do nothing, it will still take time to kill such a massive army. After all, they were never meant to help defeat the Invading forces; their bodies were merely supposed to slow them down." Remarked Nusjuro indifferently as he rested his hand atop his hilt, his words causing Mars to nod.

"Hahaha, Grand Charge!" Yelled Grand with a grin as he shoulder-charged S-Shark, who transferred a large portion of the impact into the ground ground, which liquefied thanks to his devil fruit ability, though he was still flung into the distance.

Watching as S-Shark was sent flying thanks to my attack, I loudly laughed, only for Chala to suddenly appear to my left, blocking several string attacks from S-Flamingo as she promptly froze them before breaking them with a swing of her frozen sword.

"Your fight's with me, child!" Said Chala with a feral grin as she gazed at S-Flamingo through the slits in her ice armor, only to push off the ground, dashing towards S-Flamingo, who grunted in annoyance while his fingers rapidly twitched.

"Whose else can stand before the mighty Atlas!?" Exclaimed Grand loudly in pride as he flexed his muscles, ripping his shirt off his body while punching his fist, his words causing every nearby soldier to retreat fearfully.

"Eh, hey, get back here!" Said Grand lightly as he chased after the retreating soldiers, only for the ground surrounding him to liquefy as S-Shark suddenly emerged from the ground.

Receiving a punch in the stomach, I gasped for breath as I was sent flying into the distance, though, with a quick flex of my muscles, I created a shockwave that stopped my momentum as I fell to the ground.

"Heh, nice attack; now it's my turn!" Grand with a smirk as he flicked his nose while charging towards S-Shark, his thundering footsteps akin to an approaching storm.

Raising my leg, I blocked Lucci's attack only to push off him as I raised my arms, blocking Kakzu's sharp blade of wind; I redirected myself in the air and launched a sharp blade of wind towards Lucci after combining it with both geppo, Soru, and Shigan, turning it into speeding missile that destroyed everything in its path, though, thanks to the strength granted by the awakening of his devil fruit, he managed to block my attack with nothing but a shallow wound, which wouldn't take long to heal.

"Heh, a devil fruit would be really helpful about right now." Remarked Scar lightly as his figure vanished, dodging an attack from Jabra before kneeing his back.

Although I said that, I was merely making small talk; how could I ever wish for a devil fruit when I could vividly see what Captain was doing? Fighting against six monstrously powerful opponents, four of which had eaten a devil fruit, yet, with just merely the strength of his haki, he managed to overpower the man who was capable of destroying the world!

The mere thought of consuming a devil fruit after watching Captain made me want to spit on the ground, though just like him, my seven opponents had also eaten a devil fruit.

"Hehe, Haki transcends all… Did you know that Lucci?" Asked Scar with a confident smirk as he violently kicked Lucci, who tried blocking the kick with his own, though he was eventually overpowered and flung into the distance.

"Haki is merely a tool used to kill." Said Lucci calmly as he emerged from the ground and lunged towards Scar alongside Jabra and Kaku.

"Heh, and that right there is why your haki isn't as strong as it could be. Haki isn't a tool; it's your will, your goal, your ambition… It's you." Stated Scar with a smirk as he floated in the air while the Color of the Supreme King erupted from him like a gentle wave, causing a certain succubus to cheer in joy.
