One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Whitebeard stood before the ice wall, a white orb of light condensing at the tip of his naginata.

Tremor-Tremor Fruit, unleash its full power!

"Smash it for me!"

A single slash!

boom--!!!

The incredibly solid ice wall shattered instantly!

Countless ice blocks scattered and flew everywhere, causing the surrounding pirates to flee in panic.

Aokiji's expression changed.

Damn it, I forgot about that old guy.

Just then, something unexpected happened on Kizaru's side.

The fragment that landed near Kizaru was scooped up by him the moment he hit the ground.

"Oh my, I'm lucky."

He grinned and tucked the shard into his pocket.

Then, he flashed and transformed into a beam of light, flying towards the second fragment!

The speed was so fast that few people present could react in time.

But some people realized what was happening.

"Damn flashy brat!"

Mid-air, the golden lion saw this scene and his face twisted with rage.

With a wave of his hands, the two swords, Sakura Ten and Muku, flew out.

"Lion Valley!"

Hundreds of slashes shot out from his body, flying wildly toward Kizaru!

The slashes were so dense, like rain, that it was impossible to dodge them!

Kizaru's expression changed, and he had no choice but to stop and dodge.

"Oh dear, that old man, Golden Lion, is really annoying."

He muttered something, and in a flash of light, he narrowly avoided the slashes.

But by the time he tried to rush toward the second fragment, it was too late.

Over there, things have already turned into a complete mess.

.....................

The second fragment landed. A lieutenant general pocketed the pure gold.

Momousagi drew her long sword from her waist, while Chaton gripped his weapon with both hands. The two of them, one on each side, led a large group of vice admirals to protect Chunkin.

In the distance, the Warring States period was marked by a gloomy expression, and he remained silent.

He knew in his heart that there was no point in saying anything now.

The gold fragments have already fallen, and the pirates have already charged forward. This battle is inevitable, whether we like it or not.

He took a deep breath, and his body began to swell.

Golden light surged from his body, and he instantly transformed into a giant golden Buddha.

Buddha Form – Activated!

"Everyone, listen up!"

The voice of the Warring States period, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

"Protect the pure gold fragment at all costs! There must be no mistakes!"

"yes!!!"

The navy soldiers responded in unison, their morale soaring.

But the pirates weren't pushovers either.

Whitebeard was the first to rush over.

His target was the fragment closest to Akainu.

"Gurgle gurgle! I'll take this!"

He swung his naginata, and a white ball of light condensed, smashing it fiercely towards Akainu!

Akainu, who was still frolicking, suddenly changed his expression, covered his hands with Armament Haki and clasped them together to withstand the attack!

boom--!!!

The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit slammed into Akainu, the fierce force sending him staggering back several steps, shattering the ice beneath his feet.

Akainu coughed up a mouthful of blood and glared angrily at Whitebeard.

"Whitebeard!!!"

Akainu roared and his figure flashed, the ground beneath his feet shattering inch by inch!

"Kinniku Guren!"

Akainu's right hand coalesced into a dog's head, and his fist, carrying intense heat, slammed towards Whitebeard!

Whitebeard dodged to the side, his naginata sweeping across as he continued his fierce attack!

Two powerful figures clashed.

Every strike was earth-shattering.

The pirates and marines around them didn't dare to approach and kept their distance.

On the other side, Big Mom, relying on the steel balloon's defense and brute force, forcefully broke into the vice admirals' defensive perimeter.

Despite their best efforts to stop it, Momousagi Chaton and the others were unable to inflict much damage on Big Mom's "steel balloon".

"Mama, mama! Mommy's!"

Big Mom stretched out her enormous hand and grabbed the lieutenant general who had received the pure gold. Napoleon above her head automatically swung, cutting the lieutenant general in two.

Big Mom found the pure gold on the corpse, put it in her pocket, and burst into laughter.

Smoothie, Katakuri, and Cracker, the three Sweet Commanders, immediately surrounded her and protected her in the middle.

"Protect Mom!"

"Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy!"

Those pirates who still wanted to rush up and steal it, upon seeing the three Sweet Commanders and then looking at Big Mom's terrifying body, instantly cowered.

Damn it, I can't afford to mess with them.

On the Golden Lion side.

After forcing Kizaru to retreat, Shiki flicked his finger and activated the Float-Float Fruit's power.

The soil surrounding the pure gold fragment instantly flew up, enveloping the fragment and sending it flying towards the golden lion.

Kizaru wanted to give chase, but he was forced to keep his distance by Shiki's slashes.

"Damn it..."

He muttered something, then his figure flashed and he retreated to the rear of the navy.

When he landed next to Sengoku, he took the fragment out of his pocket and handed it to Sengoku.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, this is for you. I can't keep it."

Sengoku took the fragment and nodded with a gloomy expression.

Meanwhile, on Garin Saint's side...

With three members of the Order of the Gods, Garin, relying on his strange regenerative abilities, protected a fragment and retreated rapidly towards the rear of the Navy.

Although they were badly injured by Roy, their injuries gradually healed as Roy retreated and the Conqueror's Haki was no longer suppressing them.

Those pirates who wanted to steal the fragments were no match for them.

He was hacked down in a single exchange, his body lying scattered on the ground.

But too many people are chasing after them.

Small and medium-sized pirates, the subordinates of the three emperors, and those opportunists are all keeping an eye on them.

"Quick! Retreat!"

Garin gritted his teeth and swung his sword to kill the pirates who were chasing him as he ran.

He was covered in wounds, but the eerie black mist continued to swirl, and his wounds kept healing.

The healing process is much slower than before.

Roy's Conqueror's Haki did indeed have an impact on them.

In the distance, Roy stood at the bow of the Ark of Proverbs, quietly watching this scene.

His Observation Haki covered the entire area, and he had control over the movement of every fragment.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

almost.

It's time to make a move.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly curled.

The power of telekinesis was quietly activated.

The pirates who were chasing Garin suddenly felt their feet trip and their speed slowed down.

Someone fell down for no apparent reason.

Someone was pushed by an unseen force and deviated from their course.

And then there are people who bump into each other for no apparent reason.

"What's going on?!"

"Damn it! Who pushed me?!"

In the chaos, Garin, along with three members of the Knights of God, successfully broke through the encirclement and disappeared into the crowd.

He took the second fragment with him.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Whitebeard's battlefield also encountered problems.

Whitebeard and Akainu were fighting fiercely when they suddenly sensed that the surrounding navy formations were a bit chaotic.

For some reason, the lieutenant generals who had been surrounding him revealed a weakness.

Whitebeard's eyes lit up, and he swept his naginata horizontally, forcing Sengoku back. Then, with a flash, he rushed out through the opening!

When he regained his footing, he had a golden fragment in his hand.

"Gurgle gurgle! Got it!"

He looked at the shards in his hand and burst into laughter.

Akainu's face turned ashen as he stared intently at Whitebeard.

Not right.

That flaw just now was too deliberate.

It seems like someone did it on purpose...

He suddenly looked up at the golden ship in the distance.

On the Ark's Proverbs, Roy stood with his hands behind his back, looking in this direction.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Roy smiled and nodded at him.

That smile, in Akainu's eyes, looked utterly irritating and utterly deserving of a beating.
