One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

Whitebeard frowned slightly, not expecting Garp to return so quickly. He glanced instinctively in the direction of the warship; those guys were too slow.

"Whoosh!"

Without a second thought, Whitebeard abruptly pulled out the naginata stuck in the sand, raising a cloud of dust as Armament Haki flowed around the blade. Then, he slashed upwards with the naginata.

"Thump!"

A piercing crash resounded, and a powerful gust of air burst forth from the point where the blade and fist clashed, causing the sand on the beach to be whipped up as if by a gale, flying into the air and forming a ring of sand.

"Garp, I'll leave Newgate to you for now. I'll go deal with those thieves!" Sengoku said, then suddenly leaped into the air, stomping repeatedly with each step, creating a white shockwave with every step, and sped towards the warship.

Whitebeard's heart sank. He instinctively wanted to pull back his sword and intercept Sengoku to buy more time for Ron and the others. But the next second, Garp's attack came like a tidal wave, punch after punch, relentless and leaving no room to breathe.

"Newgate!" Karp shouted excitedly, "You'd better worry about yourself first!"

The white-bearded man gritted his teeth and silently parried with his sword, sparks flying as the blade collided with his fist, scattering across the sand.

If it really comes to a last resort, Whitebeard will not hesitate at all; he will kill a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own.

If Ron can use his ability to walk on water at the crucial moment, they will win.

-------------------------------------

Inside a World Government warship.

The figure of the Warring States period hurried through the corridor.

Finally, he stopped outside the cargo hold where the "Heavenly Gold" was stored.

Most of the treasure chests inside had been moved away, and the once neatly stacked Heavenly Gold was now scattered all over the ground, looking as messy as a ransacked market.

Sengoku's gaze turned unusually cold, and his fists clenched tightly.

"Tap tap tap tap!!!"

Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed at the end of the corridor.

Zhan Guo glanced over instinctively.

Soon, three figures rushed out from around the corner and were reflected in his eyes.

"Uh... I think I've gone to the wrong place." The moment Stussy saw Sengoku, his pupils constricted sharply. Before he could even finish speaking, he turned and ran back. "Hey, hey, hey, I told you not to be greedy! Kaido, Ron, stop him!"

Before he could finish speaking, with a "whoosh," Kaido had already overtaken Stussy, who had run ahead, cursing as he ran, "It was clearly you! Why did you have to drag me and Ron along to help you carry it!"

"Damn it!" Stussy gritted his teeth and sprinted forward. After all, whoever ran the slowest would be in the front row. "You think I don't know what you're up to? It's just a gamble on whether there's a Devil Fruit inside, isn't it?"

Kaido's plan was exposed, so he ran even faster.

Sengoku's gaze passed over them and landed on Ron.

He didn't run; he just stood there, one hand in his pocket, the other hanging casually at his side, a faint smile on his face.

Suppressing his anger, Sengoku slowly tore off the "Justice" cloak from his shoulder and tossed it aside.

He stared coldly at Ron: "You seem to have an excessive amount of confidence in your abilities, Ron."

Ron smiled calmly, meeting his gaze without flinching: "You're quite confident, aren't you, Sengoku? I can see it in your eyes; you think you can definitely win me over."

Ron wasn't really sure if he could match Sengoku in his current state.

But as for running away, he has already confirmed that he can definitely escape.

"Heh heh heh." Sengoku chuckled coldly, his lips twitching slightly. "You talk a good game, but why don't you take action? Why aren't you doing anything? Are you afraid? Or are you just putting on a brave face?"

"Why aren't you doing anything?" Ron tilted his head, a hint of amusement in his voice. "You clearly want to tear me to pieces, so what are you afraid of?"

Sengoku frowned, about to speak, but Ron didn't give him a chance to explain, continuing, "Oh. I understand."

Ron drawled, "As a Celestial Dragon's lackey, you've had half of your master's things stolen, and you're afraid you won't even be able to keep the last bit."

"You..." Sengoku gasped. He admitted that Ron was right, but the guy's mouth was as sweet as honey.

So sweet it makes you want to punch him into a wall, so hard you can't pry him out.

"In that case, I'll help you dispel your concerns," Ron said casually.

Almost instantly, Ron entered "Nine-Tails Mode".

Golden chakra surged from his body, forming a semi-transparent cloak that clung tightly to his entire body.

His hair grew long and stood up, transforming from black to a bright gold, like a burning flame.

Black magatama-shaped patterns appeared on his shoulders, chest, and back, while flame-shaped chakra floated around his body.

Ron felt the surging power within him, almost overflowing.

"Whoosh!"

A golden arm formed from chakra swung out instantly, slamming into the ship's bulkhead, tearing a large hole in the iron wall as if it were made of paper.

"Um?"

No seawater was seen rushing in.

Ron was slightly taken aback, and peeked out of the hole. It was still the corridor outside.

"Isn't this already on the edge?"

Sengoku frowned upon learning of Ron's idea.

At that moment, he truly felt that Ron was a madman.

If the hull is breached and seawater rushes in, he will be the first to suffer.

Unfortunately... Sengoku didn't know that Ron wasn't afraid of seawater at all.

He is not a Devil Fruit user.

"Madman." Sengoku muttered under his breath, but did not intervene. Passively protecting "Heavenly Gold" would only make the situation more unfavorable. He needed to find a more favorable opportunity.

What Ron is doing now, in his eyes, is precisely the right opportunity.

"boom!"

Ron swung his arm again, and this time, the golden giant fist smashed through the outer wall of the warship.

Seawater gushed in from the crack, like a beast breaking free of its cage, instantly engulfing him.

"Heh." Sengoku sneered, watching the sea engulf Ron, then leaped upwards. "You can play by yourself, Ron!"

"BOOM!!!"

Sengoku pierced through layer after layer of decks, and finally, he broke through the top deck.

At the same time, his body emitted a dazzling golden light, and a giant golden Buddha rose from the ground.

Then, Sengoku sensed the changes around him. As soon as Ron jumped out of the sea, he would not hesitate to swing his palm and smash him into the seabed, so that he could keep company with the stolen "Heavenly Gold".

However, a few seconds passed without any movement or Ron's presence.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Sengoku caught a glimpse of a scene that infuriated him.

From the side of the main warship, a secondary ship slowly emerged.

Sengoku's eye twitched. Stealing "Heavenly Gold" was one thing, but stealing the second ship too?

Do you really think this is your home?

Just grab whatever you want?

"Damn it!!!" Sengoku's voice boomed from the giant Buddha's mouth, "You've taken everything, so how about I give you another gift?"

The Warring States period raised its giant golden hand, and the air began to hum.

Just then, a light, airy voice suddenly reached my ears.

"Hmm...get bigger? What a coincidence, me too."

Sengoku glanced sharply toward the source of the sound and saw Ron standing on the sea, undergoing a transformation.

A golden chakra cloak burst forth from Ron's body, rapidly detaching from his human form.

His head stretched and lengthened, and a fox's head took shape in the golden light.

Behind it, one, two, three... nine enormous golden tails shot out simultaneously.

Ron's size continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye, a nine-tailed fox demon larger than a World Government warship appeared before Sengoku.
