Broadside fire!"
Whitebeard gave an order.
Fifteen pirate ships aimed their hulls covered with gun barrels at the warship.
On deck, each artillery piece was also set up under the operation of the gunner.
"Fire!"
A dazzling light burst out from the dark barrels.
Next moment,
Boom boom boom!
The deafening sound of artillery fire suddenly exploded!
Countless solid artillery shells emerged from the barrels, with a sharp, ear-piercing whistling sound, pouring overwhelmingly towards the warship.
Like dark clouds, covering the sky.
Just then, Momousagi jumped up.
A half-moon-shaped slash roared towards the sky, destroying all the hundreds of shells pouring down.
Boom boom boom—
Dazzling explosions broke out in the air, and thick smoke spread everywhere, drifting away in the wind.
Only the slightly undulating sea surface was left, with the rest of life echoing in the ears.
Seeing this scene, the sailors breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves relaxed.
"Ha ha ha ha, Marines, you have some skills!"
Whitebeard laughed, and the muscles in his arms bulged.
A terrifying aura emanated from him that made his heart palpitate.
The blade of Murakumogiri was shrouded in a milky white halo.
The deck beneath his feet was shaking.
Next moment,
The sword flashed.
The fierce and domineering slashing, carrying the tearing and shaking force, roared towards the warship!
Crunch—
Accompanied by a crisp sound.
Wherever the slash passed, the space continued to shatter.
Countless glass-like cracks appeared in the air, spreading like spider webs.
A huge, bottomless crack instantly appeared on the sea surface.
The air seemed to be torn apart, and the nearby seawater instantly twisted to form a huge tsunami.
In front of this devastating strike.
The sailors turned pale with fright, and their eyes were full of despair.
Not even a cry could come out.
Yamato Momousagi didn't hesitate at all.
He instantly drew out his sidearm and stood in front of Garros.
Although their bodies were trembling slightly, their eyes were extremely firm, staring at the oncoming attack.
Koby stood behind Garros,
Magical pink flames rose from his hands.
Apparently, he was also ready to activate his Retro Retro Fruit ability at any time.
"It's so powerful..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Garros's expression became extremely solemn.
A casual strike can cause the heavens and earth to tremble.
The aftermath of the attack alone caused a tsunami hundreds of meters high.
He is worthy of being the strongest man in the world who can destroy the world.
I didn't think much of it when I read the comics before, but now I can feel the shock by being there.
It's like the end of the world...
It's hard to imagine how powerful Ryuma was when he was in his prime.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Garros's pupils narrowed.
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was immediately activated.
Waves of blue light appeared on the body surface.
Just when he was about to take action, Mihawk's indifferent voice came to his ears.
"Garros, have you forgotten our previous agreement?"
"Leave this battle to me."
The words just fell.
A bright and dazzling sword light instantly erupted on the deck.
In an instant, a huge crescent-shaped sword energy flew into the air.
Next moment,
The two slashes collided in mid-air.
Boom!
A huge roar resounded throughout the heaven and earth,
The terrifying shock wave instantly spread to 10,000 meters away.
The warship kept shaking, and the hull made of steel and logs seemed to be under a huge load in this short moment, making constant creaking sounds.
Under the collision of the two moves,
The Marine soldiers suddenly felt as if a heavy hammer was hitting their hearts.
Their faces turned pale, and the soles of their feet felt weak.
There was a surprised sound on the deck of the Moby Dick.
"You actually blocked it?"
"It's actually him! The world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk!"
"No wonder, this guy is probably the only one who can block Dad's attack..."
After seeing the other person's appearance clearly,
Everyone couldn't help but feel relieved,
But in the next moment, solemn expressions appeared on their faces.
"Why is this guy Mihawk hanging out with the Marines?"
"Is this the guy who attacked the Great Maelstrom Spider Pirates?"
Just when everyone was talking about it,
Marco, the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates, stepped forward.
"Asshole, don't underestimate the Whitebeard Pirates!"
The words just fell.
Balls of burning green flames suddenly appeared on his body and enveloped him.
In an instant, he turned into a phoenix that was completely green and dotted with some yellow flames.
The huge wings stretched out and fluttered in the wind.
The speed suddenly doubled,
In an instant, it spanned a distance of several thousand meters and appeared above the warship!
"Phoenix Brand!"
The razor-sharp claws were surrounded by blue flames,
They were also covered with layers of transparent and invisible Armament Haki.
This move was as fast as lightning, so fast that it even burst the air, causing bursts of ear-piercing screams!
"Well done!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from Marco's ears.
Before he could react,
He felt an unparalleled impact sweeping over him!
In the face of this terrible force.
Marco groaned and flew out a thousand meters away like a meteor, hitting one of his own pirate ships heavily.
Boom!
The deck cracked.
The pirate ship let out an overwhelmed groan.
Instantly it was broken into two pieces at the waist!
The overbearing shock wave even dented the sea surface within a hundred meters!
It also penetrated Marco's entire body deep into the seabed a hundred meters!
A black shadow landed on the bow of the ship from the sky, standing side by side with Mihawk.
Only then did everyone react.
The one who took action just now turned out to be Vice Admiral Garros!
This exaggerated scene full of visual effects immediately stunned everyone on the warship.
"He is indeed a strong man who defeated Charlotte Linlin."
"The strength of Vice Admiral Garros is too terrifying..."
"Is this really a power that humans can have?"
"I'm afraid this punch could smash a mountain into pieces..."
Located behind the warship,
There was also a gasping sound from the Donquixote Family's pirate ship.
Doflamingo trembled all over and swallowed hard.
It seemed like he was remembering something terrible.
"Killing Marco with one punch? How is that possible?"
Having been involved in both black and white circles for so many years, he had also heard of Marco's name.
This guy is a Zoan Mythical Beast type user with a bounty of over one billion berries and the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Such a strong man was unable to fight back in front of Garros and was punched into the sea.
It wasn't just him.
Torebol, Diamante, and others beside him couldn't help but shrink their necks and looked at Garros's back with horrified expressions.
This punch really opened the door to the New World for them.
Moby Dick.
After a brief commotion, everyone finally fished Marco out of the sea.
Whitebeard's face was extremely gloomy.
Marco has been with him for decades and experienced countless battles together.
Whitebeard knew his strength very well.
He didn't expect Marco to be defeated so cleanly!
This felt a little unreal to him.
"You're not bad at it, Marine..."
Whitebeard took a deep breath and raised Murakumogiri in his hand again.
At this moment, Vista's exclamation suddenly came from beside him.
"Wait! Dad!"
"That guy seems to be Garros!"
"What?"
Everyone looked at Vista in unison.
The latter nodded seriously and said:
"Absolutely."
Although it has been several months since the Sabaody auction,
Vista was still impressed and recognized him at a glance.
After receiving the affirmation, Whitebeard frowned.
"Why is this guy with the Marines? Could it be...
Suddenly, an incredible guess appeared in his mind.
Suddenly looking at the warship in the distance, he yelled and asked:
"Boy, are you Garros? The Garros who defeated the Beasts Pirates?"
Garros nodded and admitted generously.
Whitebeard was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"You killed the Beasts Pirates. You avenged my best friend. For this reason, I will not attack you again."
"But before that, there is one more thing to confirm."
"How about it? Do you dare to come aboard and talk about it?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Momousagi stopped in front of Garros with a nervous look on his face.
"Hey, don't agree, this must be a trap set by the other party!"
Garros smiled lightly and said:
"Since the other party has sent an invitation for talks, how can I refuse?"
"It seems that there is no hostility towards the other party. It is a good thing that the misunderstanding has been resolved."
"But it's still too dangerous for you to go alone..."
Momousagi was going to say something else.
Garros' eyes suddenly became extremely sharp,
His whole body exuded a breathtaking aura.
"If you don't have the courage to face pirates, what kind of Marine are you?"
Along with these words.
Conqueror's Haki moved spontaneously, venting out like a volcanic eruption, soaring into the sky!
At that moment,
The wind howled, the sea surged, and even the heavens and earth changed color!
The deck and ship walls seemed to have received a huge impact and began to crack layer by layer.
The crowd around them went dark and almost lost all consciousness.
At this moment, Garros's body shook violently, as if he had some realization.
The monstrous Conqueror's Haki all gathered together, wrapped around the body surface, and burst out countless black thunder.
Such amazing power,
Everyone present felt frightened and took several steps back.
"I see, this is the Supreme King Haki..."
Garros silently looked at the hands wrapped in black thunder and murmured to himself.
In the past few months, he challenged two Sea Emperors and won.
Unknowingly, a huge transformation took place in his physical and mental energy.
Now facing Whitebeard's invitation,
Finally, things came to pass, and some shackles were broken.
Conqueror's Haki has broken through from "Grandmaster level" to "Supreme level"!
"It's really amazing..."
Mihawk trembled slightly.
Strong desire burst out in his sharp eyes like an eagle.
He couldn't wait to compete with Garros.
Remembering the previous
agreement between the two,
Mihawk sighed sadly.
"In that case, I'll go with you."
Under the nervous gazes of everyone on both sides,
Garros and Mihawk left the warship and entered the Moby Dick.
The two of them climbed the long stairs and came to the deck.
More than ten meters directly in front of Garros,
Sitting there was a tall, muscular man over six meters tall, shirtless.
The crescent-shaped white beard also showed his identity.
Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Edward Newgate, known as the strongest man in the world!
Now his body was covered with bandages.
There was a look of exhaustion between his brows.
Obviously, he was seriously injured in the previous battle with the Marines, Kaido, Bullet, and others, and had not yet recovered.
Whitebeard said nothing and paid no attention to Mihawk,
Instead, he stared hard at Garros.
Although the ships on both sides were thousands of meters apart,
Whitebeard felt the momentum that Garros had just burst out.
Of course, he understood what this meant.
At this time, in addition to surprise, Whitebeard's eyes also contained a hint of deep fear.
On the left and right sides of the deck were the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.
The two of them walked to the center of the deck.
Everyone put on a defensive posture as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Looking at these familiar faces around him,
Garros silently recited all the names in his heart.
"Phoenix" Marco, the captain of the first team who had just been beaten away by him.
Wearing simple armor, the captain of the third division who was as tall as a giant.
Paramecia Diamond-Diamond Fruit ability user, "Diamond" Jozu.
The "Flower Sword" Vista that he had briefly fought against at Sabaody's auction before.
There was also the Wanokuni warrior Izo who looked like a woman.
Under the gaze of these people,
The atmosphere on the field was a bit depressing, and the air seemed to be solidified.
If an ordinary person were here at this time,
their legs would likely be shaking with fear, and they would be shivering.
However, Garros and Mihawk were not ordinary people, and they didn't care at all.
If they really wanted to fight, with the strength of him and Mihawk, they could escape unscathed.
But Garros could feel that the other party was not very hostile.
At least for now.
Since Whitebeard didn't speak, he had to put on airs.
He didn't bother to speak, lest he bring trouble to himself.
After a while, Whitebeard finally spoke.
"Kozuki Oden used to be my best friend, but unfortunately..."
Recalling the past, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"You avenged him and helped his descendants liberate Wanokuni. For this reason, I won't make things difficult for you, but..."
Whitebeard's tone suddenly became extremely harsh.
"Did you kill my son, Squard?"
Whitebeard usually treats his subordinates as his sons.
His son was killed, and as a father, he must show a corresponding attitude.
Otherwise, his Whitebeard Pirate group, which is united by family ties, will fall apart sooner or later.
"The Great Maelstrom Spider Pirates?"
"I did it."
Looking at Mihawk who admitted it generously,
The sharp murderous intent in Whitebeard's eyes was fleeting, and his tone was solemn.
"Good, very good!"
"Pay with your life for Squard!"
Mihawk pulled out the black blade Yoru from behind with his backhand.
"Battle? I wish I could."
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened.
Everyone looked up.
A huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the clouds, approaching downward.
Everyone stared blankly at the sky.
As the distance got closer, the true appearance of the shadow became clear.
It was a giant dragon several thousand meters long!
The huge body exuded powerful and vast coercion,
It vented downward like a turbulent wave!
The faces of everyone present became extremely solemn.
The person approaching was none other than...
The King of Beasts, Kaido!
