"I'm coming right now!"
*Click—*
After hanging up the phone, Kong immediately got up:
"Damn it, how could this happen."
Looking at Borsalino, who was leisurely drinking tea, he understood the meaning of the previous sentence and was furious:
"Still in the mood for tea! You go stop them first!"
"I'll be there soon!!!"
He hurried out the door, flew away using Geppo, and plunged directly down the Red Line.
Borsalino slowly finished a cup of tea:
"Sigh~"
"So troublesome~"
He radiated light spots all over his body, and disappeared.
---------
The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.
A few minutes later, in the hall where the Five Elders were.
A CP agent rushed in to report:
"Five Elders."
"There's a battle at Marine Headquarters."
The movements of the Five Elders all paused, filled with confusion.
Who dared to cause trouble at Marine Headquarters...
The Five Elder with a sword said:
"Who is it?"
The CP member's face still showed shock, disbelief.
He swallowed, and said tremblingly:
"The combatants are."
"Marine Headquarters Admiral Sakazuki, and Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
"Marine Headquarters Admiral Aokiji, and Admiral candidate Lieutenant General 'White Dragon' Enel."
"And Admiral candidate 'Blue Devil' Barrrett Lieutenant General, and former 'Marine Hero' Vice Admiral Garp."
The Five Elders suddenly stood up:
"What!!" x5
The curly-haired Five Elder was the first to recover:
"Where is Kong?"
The CP member quickly replied:
"Fleet Admiral Kong has already gone to Marine Headquarters."
The Five Elders' faces were grim:
"Guards!!!"
--------
Marineford, on the sea in the distance.
Broken icebergs were everywhere, and from a distance, they were even larger than Marineford itself.
Tall, slender icebergs rose from the sea, encrusted with Haki like a thorny jungle, crisscrossing and piercing towards Enel.
Enel flickered in the air, and the roar of thunder echoed across the sea.
He condensed an electric light in his hands, forming a three-meter-long thunder spear, and hurled it directly at Kuzan.
It shot towards Kuzan in an instant.
Kuzan's pupils constricted as he looked at the incoming thunder spear, and his movements froze for a moment.
The thunder spear pierced through his body and struck the ice.
An extremely dangerous aura erupted from there, and a semicircular light flared...
*Boom—*
A mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high exploded, and the shockwave swept outwards.
Countless dead sea creatures floated to the surface...
Kuzan's figure appeared from a broken iceberg in the distance. He had managed to shift his body at the last moment and was unharmed.
Looking at the surging shockwave and waves:
"Alalala, truly terrifying."
He pointed his hand at the waves in front of him, and cold air condensed in his palms:
"Ice Age!!!"
The cold air shot out, freezing everything it passed into ice pillars covered in sharp spikes, which then pierced into the waves.
The moment they penetrated, ice began to form from the waves, spreading rapidly.
Kuzan let out a cold breath:
"Hoo—"
Suddenly, he conjured an ice blade in his hand and spun around to slash.
Enel's figure disappeared and reappeared instantly in front of Kuzan:
"Too slow."
His golden staff had been transformed into a short blade, flashing with lightning, and stabbed towards Kuzan's heart.
*Clang!*
Sparks flew, and Kuzan was sent flying backward, his body covered in dark Haki.
Meanwhile, ice spikes, imbued with a hint of Haki, shot out from under Enel's feet.
Enel let out a cold laugh, activated his abilities, and elementalized at the predicted impact points. His body was pierced by countless ice spikes but suffered no damage.
He tilted his head slightly to the side, raising his lightning-charged hand:
"I said, too slow."
With a light touch, the compressed lightning exploded on the ice, forcing Kuzan out.
The high temperature of the electricity caused the sea, which had just been frozen, to rapidly thaw and spread outwards.
Steam rose from the entire sea, gathering upwards.
Kuzan condensed cold air in his hand, ice crystals constantly emerged, and imbued with Haki, he aimed at Enel:
"Ice Prison!"
An ice crystal sphere drew a long trail of cold air in the sky, rushing towards Enel.
Enel's Observation Haki sensed the approaching Zephyr and the soon-to-arrive Vice Admiral Tsuru. He transformed into lightning and dodged the ice crystal sphere, charging into the clouds.
*Crack crack—*
The dodged ice crystal sphere exploded violently.
In an instant, it transformed into a massive ice cage, covered in dark Haki.
Too bad it missed...
In the clouds, Enel transformed into an elemental being, his Observation Haki repeatedly scanning the area below, his hands not stopping:
"Raiku - Raigou!!!"
The dark clouds churned and gathered, forming a thundercloud sphere the size of an island.
From the giant thunderball, dense lightning struck downwards, sealing off the area below.
Following the thunderball, it slowly pressed down...
---------
Marine Headquarters, the back mountain.
*Boom—*
Two violent figures collided and separated.
The dust was swept away by the shockwaves of the collision.
Barrett, in his Ghost Qi mode, the Great Asura King state, looked somewhat disheveled, with a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.
His scarlet eyes fixed on Garp:
"Old man, you've got a tough hide."
Garp's body was covered in dark Haki, and his right chest was slightly sunken.
He was also quite disheveled all over, staring intently at Barrett:
"You're still too green, kid."
The two engaging in pure physical combat were far more intense than the other two battlefields.
Barrett grinned sinisterly:
"And a tough mouth, interesting."
His Haki surged, and ferocious demonic phantom images appeared on his arms, staring intently at Garp.
*Boom—!!!*
Their fists collided again, erupting with shockwaves.
The phantom images on Barrett's arm instantly climbed up.
But under Garp's massive compressed Armament Haki, it was useless, unable to cause any obstruction.
However, Barrett didn't intend for it to work; instead, he used it as a bridge, twisting his hand and changing his fist into a palm, grabbing Garp's wrist.
He mobilized twenty times speed, though he couldn't fully control it...
But at close range, before Garp could react, Barrett's other hand directly covered Garp's face.
With a sinister expression, he twisted his body halfway and slammed Garp's head into the ground.
*Boom—*
The ground trembled, and the earth cracked.
Garp's eyes widened in fury, and one hand also grabbed Barrett's wrist, unleashing immense power.
He flipped on the ground, simultaneously slamming Barrett onto the ground.
The two gripped each other's wrists tightly, like two berserk beasts, rolling wildly on the ground.
The explosive force caused the ground to tremble and shake...
During the roll, Barrett ended up on top, kicked off, and his ability erupted.
The two shot straight into the sky.
In an instant, they reached an altitude of a thousand meters.
Veins bulged on their foreheads as they tightly gripped each other's wrists, locked in a stalemate.
Barrett suddenly grinned sinisterly and swung his entire body.
The two changed direction and plummeted towards Headquarters below...
Barrett stared at Garp and grinned:
"Thirty times speed."
The moment he activated his ability, Barrett couldn't even react.
The two, from an altitude of a thousand meters, seemed to teleport and crashed into the island.
*Rumble—*
It was as if an incredibly powerful bomb had detonated on the island, like an earthquake. Countless houses on Marineford collapsed...
In the pit, tens of meters deep, the two had somehow separated...
Barrett got up, shaking his head:
"Cough cough..."
His mind went blank, and he continuously coughed up blood...
No one could emerge unscathed from such an impact... He looked up at the opposite side.
Garp also got up, coughing up blood:
"Cough cough... kid..."
His voice was low, and the killing intent in his heart was not hidden, because if this continued, he might really die...
Barrett grinned sinisterly and took out a specially made mini-missile from his pocket.
*Bzzzzzzz—*
It instantly grew to be one person tall. He removed the tail and covered the missile body with dark Armament Haki.
This kind of missile was specially made; if its interior wasn't destroyed with Armament Haki, it wouldn't detonate even if thrown into a fire...
Barrett grabbed the tall missile and shook it.
There was no finesse involved; radiating a berserk aura, he charged towards Garp.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
The most primitive, most brutal hand-to-hand combat occurred here.
No dodging, their fists and weapons continuously struck each other.
*Crack—*
The missile, hammered into Garp, couldn't withstand the two like ferocious beasts and exploded in the middle...
With a deafening roar.
A mushroom cloud tens of meters high made the island tremble again, briefly separating the two.
Shaking their heads, they each crawled out of the pit.
Barrett pulled out another mini special missile, which instantly enlarged, and charged forward...
*Boom—!!!!*
---------
Above Headquarters, on the side closer to the Red Line.
Thousands of meters in the sky.
Sakazuki directly entered his Crimson Lotus mode, his body flowing with crimson magma, his eyes glowing gold as he clashed with Sengoku.
Compared to Sengoku's nearly hundred-meter-tall Great Buddha Golden Form, Sakazuki was like a tiny black dot.
However, the impact of their collision was evenly matched, and Sengoku was even being suppressed and forced back.
Compared to the other two battlefields where they were trying to kill each other.
The two were somewhat restrained... After all, they were both leaders in the shadows and in the open.
The conflict erupted very suddenly, and Sengoku's attitude made Sakazuki unable to control his anger.
And Sakazuki's words also provoked Sengoku, and the two began to fight fiercely.
However, after their anger erupted, it was suppressed, and reason regained the upper hand, but the battle still needed a victor...
Sakazuki flicked his hand, and magma splashed from his arm.
A three-meter-long magma sword appeared, covered in Haki.
He stomped his foot and instantly appeared above Sengoku's Great Buddha Golden Form.
The blade flashed with black and purple lightning, and he raised both hands to slash down.
Sengoku's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to block.
*Sizzle—*
The blade and his arm did not collide, but countless lightning bolts were generated between them.
Even a compressed black energy ball appeared, emitting an extremely dangerous aura.
After a moment of stalemate, the two stared intently at each other.
*Boom—*
The compressed energy ball exploded.
Sengoku's giant Golden Form shot downwards like a golden ray.
Behind it, a crimson figure followed closely, the crimson light growing more dazzling.
Sakazuki quickly approached the descending Sengoku, his body rapidly expanding to be similar in size to Sengoku.
The magma giant's arms were covered in Haki as he reached for Sengoku.
Around Sengoku's Great Buddha Golden Form, a shockwave shield appeared.
It resisted the magma giant's outstretched hands, and he spread his arms to reinforce the shockwave shield.
Golden Buddha Sengoku and the Magma Giant spoke in unison:
"Buddha's Shockwave!"
"Magma Meteorite..."
The dazzling golden light and scorching magma visibly expanded and erupted.
But if viewed from afar, in front of the towering, seemingly endless Red Line that reached into the clouds, it was very, very small...
The golden light was gradually swallowed by the magma. The shockwave-formed shield was clearly no match for the continuously surging magma...
Thousands of meters in the sky passed in an instant.
The vast magma, covering the sky and the earth, wrapped around the golden light and pressed towards the sea. Inside, Sengoku and Sakazuki continued to collide.
And below, only a few hundred meters remained to the sea.
"All of you, stop!!!"
An angry roar came from high above.
Kong descended like an inverted icicle, his right arm flowing with potent Armament Haki, aimed at the magma curtain below.
He punched, accompanied by a conical airflow.
*Boom—*
The conical Armament Haki instantly pierced through the magma and the shockwave shield.
The obstacles in front of Kong shattered and exploded, revealing the figures of the two below.
At this moment, the two were also separated by Kong's attack, and they snorted coldly.
Kong quickly descended, unleashing Conqueror's Haki towards the two:
"What exactly are you two doing!"
"One Fleet Admiral! One Admiral!"
"Do you want the Marines to become a laughingstock of the world!"
"All of you, return to Headquarters!!!"
