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

At this moment, Sengoku was striking Yamato with a palm strike, the energy surging within his palm.

Yamato gritted her teeth, preparing to take the blow head-on, when a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

The naginata was held horizontally, firmly blocking the Buddha's Palm of the Warring States period.

The shockwave from the collision of the two forces exploded, overturning a large section of the surrounding ice.

As the shockwave dissipated, Sengoku stared at the white-bearded figure blocking Yamato's path, his pupils suddenly contracting.

The white-beard grinned, a signature smile playing on his lips.

"The Warring States period—we haven't fought in decades, have we?"

Yamato was stunned for a moment, then his face instantly turned red.

"Hey! Old man with the white beard!"

He is my rival!

"What right do you have to steal my fight!"

The icy blue light on her spiked club was still flashing, and she was ready to launch another attack on Sengoku.

Just when you're getting really into the heat of battle, someone suddenly interrupts and breaks the fight. That feeling is even worse than being slashed.

Whitebeard glanced at Yamato, then pointed towards the direction where Roy and Satan were locked in fierce combat in mid-air.

"Little girl, look over there—that kid Roy is being besieged by the Five Elders and the Knights of God."

Are you sure you want to waste your time with me?

Yamato opened her mouth, then looked in the direction the white-bearded man was pointing. Roy was indeed engaged in a fierce battle with Saint Satan.

Several other members of the God's Knights were also watching them intently.

She gritted her teeth, her face filled with resentment, and gripped the spiked club in her hand with a cracking sound.

"Hmph! The boss won't fail!"

He can handle it himself!

Although Yamato said that, he had already started to back away.

Savi came up from the side and tugged at Yamato's sleeve.

"Hey, Yamato, the boss might really need some backup."

"Leave the Warring States period to Whitebeard, shall we go help the boss?"

"Shut up! I know!"

Yamato glared at Savi, then gave a cold snort at the white-bearded man.

"Old man, you can have this opponent for now."

"I'll settle the score with you after the war is over!"

Having said that, she didn't waste any more words and called out to Savile, Charon, Enel, and Pea.

He rushed towards the direction where Roy and Satan were.

Whitebeard watched Yamato's departing figure and chuckled a few times.

Then he turned around and faced Sengoku.

Sengoku, who had been on guard ever since the white-bearded man appeared, frowned deeply as he sensed the white-bearded man's current state.

The white-bearded man's previously shocking injuries had mostly healed.

The charred wound on his chest, inflicted by Akainu, had completely healed, with only the charred marks remaining on his clothes proving that the wound had once existed.

What alarmed Sengoku even more was that the white-bearded man's breathing was much more stable than before—

Nourished by the life energy of the peas, Whitebeard's condition has now recovered to at least 80% of his peak.

The Warring States period began slowly, his voice low and solemn.

"Whitebeard, are you really planning to die here?"

"Gurara--Warring States period, we've been rivals for decades, haven't we?"

Instead of directly answering the Warring States' question, Whitebeard fell into a state of almost wistful reminiscence.

"Back when Captain Rocks was still around, your navy was our biggest enemy."

Later, I became the captain, and you became the marshal. We fought for decades.

He paused, a complex light flashing in his eyes:

"How about we settle this today?"

Sengoku fell silent, looking into the white-bearded man's eyes, eyes that held no fear.

There is only a kind of composure after letting go of all burdens, a kind of peace knowing that the final outcome is approaching.

Sengoku was all too familiar with this feeling—Roger had the same look in his eyes when he stepped onto the execution platform.

Zhan Guo took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and the golden light in the form of a Buddha suddenly surged.

The golden Buddha statue was even more solid than before, and shockwaves were rapidly gathering between his palms.

The surrounding space began to distort and deform because of this force.

"it is good."

Sengoku only uttered one word, but his voice suppressed a complex emotion that even he himself was unaware of.

They are rivals, sworn enemies, and long-time adversaries entangled for decades.

But at this moment, he was willing to give this man a dignified ending.

Two old rivals, after decades, are facing off again.

The naginata and the Buddha's palm collided violently, and the shockwaves and vibrations exploded in mid-air, causing the entire Marineford to tremble violently under the impact.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Roy's battle with Satan Saint continued.

Roy blocked Satan's scepter with his sword, the force from the blade making his hand go numb.

This old guy has lived for eight hundred years, and the amount of domineering energy he has accumulated is terrifying. Every time he clashes with someone, it's like he's smashing into a mountain.

Satan was also suffering.

Two of his six spider legs had been severed by Roy, and although they were regrowing, the process was so slow it made him anxious.

More importantly, Roy's Observation Haki always accurately predicts his attack trajectory.

Before the scepter even falls, the blade is already waiting in the path of the attack.

"The Five Elders".

Roy spoke after yet another clash of swords and canes, his tone carrying a hint of knowing indifference.

"Your strength is indeed formidable, and with the ability to control the Black Transformation, you are indeed very difficult to kill."

Satan Saint's pupils contracted slightly.

The meaning behind Roy's words couldn't be clearer—

He admitted that Satan was difficult to kill, but his composure revealed that he had thoroughly understood his opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

"But it's just that it's difficult to kill."

Roy continued, drawing an arc in the air with the Autumn Water in his hand.

"Your strength is only at the level of an admiral. With the help of Black Domination, you can withstand a few more hits, but it's impossible for you to defeat me."

Satan Saint's scepter slammed down again, this time with almost all his might, and the surrounding space resounded with a piercing explosion.

Roy dodged to the side, the scepter grazing his clothes and striking the ice, creating a huge crater more than ten meters in diameter.

Just as Roy was about to counterattack, a sharp slash came from the side.

Shamlock's face still bore the bloodstains left by Roy's knife, but the long sword in his hand exuded an even stronger chill.

Roy raised his sword to parry, and a thin layer of ice condensed on the blade of the Autumn Water Blade.

Immediately afterwards, two more members of the Order of the Gods launched a surprise attack from the left and right flanks simultaneously.

Roy slashed away from the three attackers, retreating dozens of meters and hovering in mid-air.

His gaze swept over his opponent—

Satan Saint, Shamlock, Junzi, and several other members of the God's Knights who were still able to fight.

The group surrounded him, cooperating seamlessly and executing their offense and defense in an orderly manner.

While defending himself, Roy silently calculated in his mind.

Satan's strength is roughly at the level of an admiral, and with the help of Black Domination, he is indeed very difficult to kill.

The individual strength of the members of the Knights of God is slightly weaker than that of the generals, but their coordination is quite formidable.

Shamrock, the captain, also possesses strength approaching that of an admiral.

He is more than capable of protecting himself on his own.

However, it would be quite difficult to kill Satan Saint or severely injure the Knights of God when surrounded by eight people.

Unless someone comes to my aid right now.
