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

As soon as the white-bearded man finished speaking, with a "whoosh!" the giant golden Buddha landed beside Garp.

He stared at the twisted and deformed wreckage of the warship before him, his expression slightly stiff.

After a while, his brows slowly relaxed. In any case, the remaining "Heavenly Gold" was finally saved, but the way it was saved was somewhat shameful.

"Warring States." Garp turned around, facing the still churning sea. "I'll switch with you. You can have Newgate, and I'll deal with that bastard Ron."

Sengoku's gaze fell on Ron, and then his expression suddenly changed.

Garp keenly sensed Sengoku's unusual behavior and subconsciously followed Sengoku's gaze towards the sea.

At this moment, the nine-tailed fox demon opened its mouth, and a huge dark red energy ball condensed and expanded in its mouth, emitting a low humming sound.

On the several chakra arms that extend from its left and right sides, a lava fireball is condensed in each palm.

"Damn it." Sengoku gritted his teeth, his anger barely contained. "We've fallen into their trap without even realizing it. That bastard Ron has our weakness covered."

To be precise, they grasped the weakness of the Warring States period.

Only he took the mission of escorting the "heavenly gold" too seriously.

If he were to lose this batch of "heavenly gold," Sengoku could foresee the consequences: the World Government's accountability, the loss of his position, and the ruin of his future. Yet, he was unwilling to bear them.

And what about Garp?

So what if it's lost? Let them hold him accountable however they want. Even if he's demoted to a regular marine, he won't be bothered in the slightest.

So here's where the problem lies.

If the Warring States period had dodged, the remaining Heavenly Gold would have been reduced to dust.

If he doesn't dodge, he'll have to take all of Ron's attacks head-on.

This is an open conspiracy.

A straightforward and aboveboard scheme, devoid of any underhanded tactics.

During the Warring States period, he had to make a choice.

"That bastard." Sengoku gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.

"Sengoku..." Garp glanced at Sengoku's stiff profile, hesitated, then suddenly laughed with relief, "You always say I'm reckless, but aren't you the same?"

"They're here!" Sengoku suddenly shouted.

"Boom~~"

In an instant, the Tailed Beast Ball and the Lava Fireball, which had been accumulating for a long time, shot out simultaneously.

In an instant, the sea was torn apart.

A colossal chasm stretched from the nine-tailed fox demon's feet all the way to the beach, forcing the seawater to surge to both sides, revealing the sand and reefs below.

The white wave wall stands tall, like two giant gates that have been split open.

"drink!!!"

Zhan Guo suddenly pushed his palm forward, and a shockwave emitted a sharp explosion from the golden giant Buddha's palm.

Then, it crashed into the Tailed Beast Ball and the Lava Fireball at extremely high speed.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion resounded throughout the surrounding area.

The terrifying aftershocks spread in all directions like a tsunami.

At the epicenter of the explosion, flames and smoke intertwined to form a giant sphere that swallowed all light.

"Garp!" Sengoku's voice pierced through the roar of the explosion.

The shockwave from that palm strike did not completely negate Ron's attack; it only slowed down the Tailed Beast Ball and partially destroyed the accompanying lava fireball.

The dark red energy ball continued to advance slowly, radiating a chilling sense of oppression.

"Leave it to me!"

Garp responded and leaped into the air in the afterglow of the explosion, his Haki instantly covering his fists before he swung them out.

"Fist-Bone Meteor!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

In mid-air, Garp's fists swung so much that only afterimages remained.

Each punch unleashed a terrifying shockwave, raining down on the Tailed Beast Ball like a meteor shower.

The moment the shockwave collided with the Tailed Beast Ball, it erupted with a blinding white light and a deafening roar.

"Boom~~~~"

"Boom~~~~"

A series of impacts rang out, and the aftershocks spread outwards like ripples.

All the lava fireballs were destroyed.

But the Tailed Beast Ball continued forward.

Sengoku did not sit idly by and wait for his death. The golden giant Buddha expanded again, its body grew taller, and it pushed its palms forward, directly blocking the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Bang!!"

The giant Buddha's palm pressed against the dark red energy ball.

His body was pushed backward step by step by the impact of the Tailed Beast Ball, carving out two deep furrows.

"ah!!!!"

Warring States's loud shout resounded all around, his ten fingers deeply embedded in the ball of energy, and his domineering aura enveloped the energy sphere at an extremely fast speed.

Then, he exerted force and twisted the trajectory of the Tailed Beast Ball to one side.

"Whoosh~~~"

Once it veered off course, the Tailed Beast Ball could no longer contain its momentum and hurtled towards the mountains on the other side of the island.

A little while later.

"BOOM!!!"

The explosion rang out suddenly, and the entire island shook violently.

In the distance, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the shock wave swept across in all directions, carrying debris and dust, covering the entire island with a thick layer of dust and sand.

Sengoku was panting, his face expressionless.

Garp, mimicking Sengoku's usual tone, scolded, "Hey, you're being too reckless, Sengoku. If that thing explodes next to you, you'll definitely be in trouble."

"You idiot... the battle isn't over yet!" Sengoku wanted to retort, but now was clearly not the time.

In that brief moment, a light, airy voice came from the sea.

"What are you all whispering about? I'm ready for my second round, are you?"

With a flick of his sleeve, Zhan Guo conjured a gust of wind that violently dispersed the surrounding smoke and dust.

On the sea, the nine-tailed fox demon opened its mouth, and a tailed beast even larger than the one before condensed.

The good news is that this time, no lava fireballs condensed on its chakra arms.

The bad news is that what condensed on those palms were all Tailed Beast Balls.
