Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 115 begins with a battle between top experts!

It's obvious that the Warring States Marshal wanted to exchange a few words with Whitebeard; it's quite normal to say a few words before the battle begins.

However, before he could even utter those words, a figure leaped out from the sky like a ferocious beast and charged downwards.

It's Kaido!

"Stop babbling on and on! If you want to fight, just fight!" Kaido roared.

As he plummeted, a domineering aura erupted from his hand, instantly covering the spiked club of the Eight Precepts. Then, he swung it downwards from mid-air, shouting, "Vajra Arrow!"

The reckless and impulsive Kaido sparked the first formal clash of this war!

A powerful impact roared in, its target the execution platform where Sengoku and Bann were located.

The Navy's original formation became a joke at this moment. The Whitebeard Pirates, who came from the sky, directly broke into the rear of the battlefield. At this moment, the front line where the Seven Warlords of the Sea were located became the rear, while the execution platform, the rearmost point, became the front line.

From his seat, Borsalino was the first to stand up and say, "How terrifying."

As he spoke, a golden light flashed in his hand, and a laser beam shot into the sky, instantly striking Kaido's Vajra Arrow, which was fired from a distance. The impact and the flash of light collided, creating an explosion in mid-air, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust that obscured everyone's vision.

The next instant, Kaido's imposing body burst out of the smoke, a ferocious smile on his face, his spiked club charging up once more.

But at that very moment, Borsalino's figure transformed into golden light and arrived in front of Kaido. With lightning speed, he kicked out, aiming for Kaido's waist and abdomen.

"Get out of my way!" Kaido noticed Borsalino's movements immediately, even though he was in the air, it didn't affect his actions at all.

He lightly stomped his foot, instantly creating a cloud of flames that helped him stabilize himself and change his position, causing Borsalino's kick to miss completely. Then, the sound of the Eight Precepts cutting through the air reached Borsalino's ears.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!" Kaido roared, sweeping out the Eight Trigrams Rings in his hand.

"Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi." Borsalino's reaction speed was also extremely fast. He clasped his hands together and pulled, directly drawing out a light sword and slashing it towards Kaido's Eight Precepts.

The lightsaber and the spiked club collided, instantly unleashing a powerful clash. However, Kaido's attack was clearly more forceful and heavy. Borsalino was outmatched in strength, and the two only held their ground for a moment before Borsalino, as if unable to withstand the force, was blasted away by Kaido.

His figure flashed like a streak of light, crashing directly into a building on the ground, causing it to explode and turning the area into ruins. However, before the worries of the others could subside, several golden lights converged, and Borsalino emerged unharmed from the smoke and dust.

Even though Borsalino wasn't injured, it was still quite obvious that the admiral was slightly inferior in the first exchange.

However, before Kaido could get arrogant, another figure wearing a Justice Cloak leaped up from the ground and shot straight at Kaido like a cannonball. The speed of this shot was no less than Borsalino's Flash!

This person is none other than Garp!

"Don't be so arrogant, you bastard! This is Marine Headquarters!" Garp roared, his fist radiating an overwhelming aura, his body surging with power.

"Old man, who do you think I am!?" Kaido's gaze and Observation Haki instantly locked onto Garp, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and the Haki in his hands had already changed to Conqueror's Haki. In an instant, he fully activated the Eight Precepts and swung them out.

"Fist Bone Impact!!!" Garp didn't care about Conqueror's Haki or anything like that, and just threw a punch.

On the execution platform, Bane once again felt the same invincible aura that Garp had when he threw a punch back in East Blue Loguetown. However, unlike last time, he no longer felt that utter helplessness and vulnerability.

The fists did not make contact with the Eight Precepts; instead, they clashed with domineering energy. At that moment, the sky seemed to be split in two by the two, directly torn apart. The swift air currents transformed into ring shockwaves in the high sky, spreading outwards and completely dispersing the original clouds and mist!

Dark lightning and spatial rifts surrounded Garp and Kaido. Although both of them were in the air, they were locked in a stalemate, their figures remaining completely still!

A ripple of energy spread out and landed right on the execution platform. The Warring States Marshal clearly saw this scene, but he made no attempt to stop it, maintaining his haughty demeanor.

Seeing this, Bane could only shrug helplessly, take a step forward, and as the aftershocks came crashing down, he raised his hand and waved it. Without any domineering aura or any extra force, just like swatting a fly, he slapped away the surging aftershocks and protected the execution platform.

At that very moment, a bolt of purple lightning struck down from the sky, hurtling towards Garp.

"Shock the Thunder!!!" Charlotte Linlin's shout also rang out.

At the same time, two halos, one red and one blue, burst forth from the high platform below the execution platform. Almost at the instant that the lightning power was about to strike Garp, Kuzan and Sakazuki stood on either side of Garp to protect him.

Kuzan's ice exploded, transforming into an ice shield that directly blocked the thunderous attack. Then, Sakazuki, his body radiating magma, seized the opportunity and slammed a punch into Kaido's chest.

"Rock Burst!!!" Sakazuki roared.

The scalding magma erupted with the power of a volcano, carrying with it aura of dominance, and slammed into Kaido's abdomen.

Kaido, who was originally locked in a stalemate with Garp, was completely unable to resist Sakazuki's attack at this moment. The instant he was struck in the abdomen, he felt a long-lost pain, and then the exploding magma completely engulfed his massive body.

This completely deprived him of his leverage in the struggle against Garp, and Garp, without hesitation, swiftly shattered Kaido's arm with his fist, striking into the magma and hitting Kaido's jaw hard.

The powerful force blasted Kaido out of Sakazuki's exploding magma. Then, Garp used Moonwalk to propel himself higher, seizing the opportunity to grab Kaido's shoulder and press his five fingers inward. Even with Kaido's strong defense, he couldn't withstand this grab. Five finger marks were dug into the taut muscles of his shoulder by Garp's grip.

The moment they locked Kaido in place, Kuzan and Sakazuki seemed to understand what Garp was going to do next. Neither of them paid any more attention to Kaido, and instead they continued to charge upwards together. Kuzan pulled out an ice blade, and Sakazuki's fist erupted with magma. Ice and fire merged into one at that moment, and they simultaneously unleashed their power upwards.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

And right now, what's coming straight at us is Charlotte Linlin!

She stood atop Zeus, wielding the Emperor's Sword Napoleon, her eyes gleaming with a ghostly green aura. Showing no intention of retreating from the two naval admirals, she unleashed a devastating strike, roaring, "Spear of Elbaf - Mighty Nation!!!"

At the same moment, Garp roared, "Fall from the seabed!!!"

Kaido in his hand was flung away like a heavy cannon. In the blink of an eye, he was pierced through the air and sent flying directly to the front of the army formation by Garp. The moment Kaido landed, a bottomless crater was blasted into the ground. The powerful force completely shattered the surrounding ground. The marines in front of the army formation were all caught in the blast and could not stand firm. Dozens of figures were even blown away.

Then, a dazzling shockwave and two massive halos of ice and fire exploded in the sky, but Charlotte Linlin's might did not continue to fall. Clearly, Sakazuki and Kuzan had joined forces to block this domineering power.

The first figure to break through the layer of smoke in the air was a streak of blue flame.

Bane was keeping a close eye on the movements above. When he first saw the blue light flashing out, he thought it was Kuzan, but upon closer inspection, it was Marco!

At this moment, he had transformed into a phoenix, flapping his wings and rushing to the execution platform at an extremely fast speed.

"Bane, Teach, you guys..." Marco was just about to say something harsh.

Seeing that Bane had no intention of communicating with him, he took a step forward in a lunge stance, his arms bursting with domineering power. Two bulging veins, like dragons, coiled around his arms from his shoulders and elbows, and instantly a surge of energy gathered in his fists.

"Whirlwind Steel Fist!!!" Bane roared.

With his fists poised like twin dragons emerging from the sea, he unleashed a powerful punch from a distance. In an instant, Marco's figure was shredded into countless blue flames by the force of his fist, exploding into pieces.

"What kind of class do you have, daring to play the dragon-riding game here?" Bane withdrew his fist and sneered.

His attention shifted from Marco to the sky, where countless figures were falling like dumplings into a pot, obscuring the sun. The main force of the Whitebeard Pirates had arrived at the battlefield.

To be honest, the pace of this war was quite unexpected for Bane. Was it going to be a chaotic melee between top experts right from the start?

The generals who were originally stationed in the rear have now all become pawns at the front. Indeed, war cannot be controlled by anyone; it can change in an instant.
