"Luckily, we have this barrier."
"If we encountered these three guys fighting outside, we probably wouldn't have the strength to save anyone else."
"Kōwai ne~" (Scary~)
"With this kind of power, destroying any organization wouldn't be difficult."
"I wonder how the legendary three ancient weapons compare to these three Pokémon."
The stronger the person outside, the more they understood how terrifying what they had just witnessed was, and the more they grasped the disparity.
For ordinary people, however, the moves unleashed by those Pokémon and the powerful figures on the seas seemed indistinguishable.
To them, both were world-ending catastrophes.
The most troublesome moves were those that could change the climate. Although they seemed like great skills for development, they could easily devastate a region.
If more people obtained Pokémon in the future, some would undoubtedly use their power to wreak havoc on the seas.
"So, the Pokémon Alliance must create a new department to handle such situations."
Considering all this, Sengoku had a clear guess in his mind.
Back when he worked under Kong, he couldn't see the Navy's situation clearly as an admiral, but now it was different.
Every time he had to follow the orders of the World Government or the Celestial Dragons to do something disgusting, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Yet, he couldn't refuse.
Because if he refused the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, there was no other force in the world that could fund the Navy.
The Navy's expenses were not trivial; even a moderately important project could cost billions of Berries, which wasn't something they could afford easily.
Without the World Government and the Celestial Dragons providing funds, where would the Navy get weapons, money to train soldiers, and funds to support the families of fallen members?
The Navy was already short-handed in chasing pirates and guarding a few islands, with no spare personnel to make money, nor did they know how to.
From what Sengoku had seen, he believed the Pokémon Alliance could support the Navy. They could even designate a piece of land on Pokémon Island as the Navy's headquarters, and use teleportation methods for precise deployment and strikes, saving on travel costs and losses.
Moreover, the leader of the Pokémon Alliance, Dak, although not necessarily embodying 'justice,' was at least not a villain. He wouldn't make the Navy do some heinous things like the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
So, Sengoku and a few other high-ranking Navy officers had a new idea in mind.
Why not just join the Pokémon Alliance?
This aligned with Dragon's guess.
If Dak knew, he would definitely curse Sengoku.
Where would he get the money to support such a large Navy? The future five-year development plan for Pokémon Island alone would cost hundreds of millions of Pokémon currency.
And now they want him to fund the Navy?
The Pokémon Alliance was ultimately a commercial alliance. Their only means of making money was through Pokémon-related services, not collecting protection fees like the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
If the Pokémon Alliance collected protection fees, it would only be on Pokémon Island because the island was their territory, and the Alliance was the true and only 'official' entity there.
Sengoku's idea had potential but was far beyond what the Pokémon Alliance could handle at this time.
The performance battle of the three Pokémon was far from over; they hadn't even showcased their exclusive skills yet.
Normally, a Pokémon would be paralyzed after using Hyper Beam, but Giratina showed no signs of this, or it recovered so quickly that it could continue moving freely.
However, this time it didn't take the initiative to attack but prepared to let Darkrai and Sceptile have their turn.
Darkrai nodded silently, spreading his hands.
Endless darkness instantly engulfed the entire battlefield, centering on him.
Now the audience couldn't see anything again.
They didn't need to see; they could just use their imagination.
"That's the move that knocked me out."
"The one that instantly defeated Marco?"
"Can't see anything, it's all pitch black."
"Hey, Thach, why are you so excited? Do you know this ability?"
"Huh? No, I don't."
The Whitebeard Pirates got excited seeing this familiar move, as Marco was swallowed by this move in front of everyone.
Those who hadn't experienced it couldn't understand the powerlessness of not knowing how they were hit.
One moment, Marco's Phoenix Fruit was in full bloom, the next, he was lying on the deck, fast asleep.
It was even scarier than Seastone.
Seastone at least allowed a Devil Fruit user some mobility, though weakened. But this black hole would put people into deep sleep, possibly killing them before they woke.
When the darkness receded, Giratina was lying on the ground, fast asleep.
On the other side, Sceptile had charged up its Solar Blade, the blades on its arms glowing brightly, and slashed towards Giratina at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
The only way people could tell Sceptile was attacking was because the light was so intense that even peripheral vision caught the source.
Just when everyone thought the battle was over, Giratina suddenly opened its ghostly blue eyes, flipped over, and vanished, making Sceptile's attack miss.
Shadow Sneak.
"It dodged that?!"
Doflamingo's hands pressed on his thighs, veins popping on the back of his hands.
Though weakened, his eyes and experience were intact. Sceptile's speed was the fastest on the seas, surpassing even Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit.
Yet such an attack was dodged by Giratina.
That ability to vanish instantly was too overpowered. With such a skill, who could ever hit this Pokémon?
The moment Giratina reappeared, it was in the air, releasing a Draco Meteor.
It was like an ultimate version of Akainu's Meteor Volcano, with countless massive meteors raining down from the sky.
Any one of these could destroy a third of Marineford, and there were hundreds of them.
"Sceptile."
Sceptile stood confidently, eyes filled with battle intent, smirking.
This level of attack was indeed terrifying, comparable to the tsunami once unleashed by that fat-headed fish, but still manageable.
The real threat was if Giratina appeared behind them and unleashed this Dragon-type move up close, which might be harder to block.
But in this situation, Giratina clearly wanted to let his two 'big brothers' show off more.
Sceptile didn't hesitate.
It used Agility, leaping into the sky, becoming a green blur that slashed through all the meteors.
Darkrai, below, opened a huge Dark Void again, absorbing all the meteor fragments into the endless darkness, leaving the battlefield unscathed.
Seeing Darkrai and Sceptile handle Draco Meteor, Giratina leisurely used another move.
Giga Impact.
Giratina glided down from the sky, surrounded by flames from the friction with the air, resembling a 200-meter-long fire dragon descending.
A Normal-type move executed like a Dragon-type Dragon Rush.
"Dak."
"Sceptile."
Darkrai and Sceptile exchanged glances, both unwilling to face Giratina head-on.
Darkrai disappeared into the shadow on the ground, hiding in the Shadow Realm.
Unless Giratina entered the Shadow Realm to chase him, Giga Impact wouldn't hit him.
Sceptile used Protect.
A semi-transparent gray shield flashed over Sceptile and disappeared.
Boom!
The silver-gray Renegade Pokémon crashed into the ground, kicking up endless dust.
The center of the battlefield sank hundreds of meters, making it impossible for the audience to see the bottom.
"Continuing this isn't a good idea, so let's end this battle here."
Dak appeared above the massive crater, waving to activate the arena's auto-repair function.
Under the astonished gazes of the audience, the crater quickly began to restore itself.
It was like a creator's power.
Silence.
The atmosphere in the stands could only be described with this word.
The previously passionate crowd now sat dumbfounded in their seats after witnessing the entire performance.
Their minds were subconsciously blank because the details were terrifying.
It was a form of self-protection by the brain, which had endured too many shocks today, unable to process more.
Everyone sat in a daze, even the Navy's Pokémon stayed by their trainers' sides, equally stunned.
They instinctively followed the sound, looking at that figure.
Looking at.
He who stands above.
