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

Chapter 121: A Laugh as Kizaru Joins Forces in a Fierce Battle Against Whitebeard, Bane Throws a Heavy Punch at Kaido's Face!

Borsalino was faster. This time, instead of charging forward, he crossed his arms, flashing with golden light, and shot towards Newgate from mid-air like a rain curtain.

A ruthless glint flashed in Newgate's eyes. He swung his arm forward, and a milky-white energy halo appeared wherever his arm passed, as if it had rippled the air.

The golden rain curtain was clearly unable to penetrate this trembling, rippling surface, and it dissipated.

At the same moment, Yixiao had already closed in on the white-bearded man. He stopped his advance with one foot, then drew his sword and slashed out, shouting, "Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!"

A powerful force of gravity adhered to the blade, transforming it into a ferocious tiger that pounced forward, crushing and churning the ground in its path, turning it into a torrent.

Faced with this attack, Newgate grabbed Murakumogiri, which was stuck in the ground, and then, without saying a word, slashed at the tiger formed by gravity. The powerful force and the trembling force slammed into the gravity. Both were invisible and intangible, but at the moment of their intersection, they exploded with impact, crushing everything around them into dust.

In the next instant, Yixiao's figure leaped out from the dust and smoke, slashing at the white-bearded man's chest with his sword.

Newgate's Murakumo Slash was too long, and in that instant, he didn't have time to turn around. However, he didn't panic. He used one hand to unleash the power of the tremor, imbued with domineering aura, and threw a punch at Yixiao in return.

The blade missed Newgate's chest, but was blocked by his fist. In that moment of stalemate, Borsalino pointed a finger, and golden beams of light burst from his fingertip, shooting towards the white-bearded figure like machine gun fire.

Newgate punched and laughed, then his body erupted with tremor, shattering all the lasers that were aimed at him. Immediately afterwards, he pulled back the Murakumogiri in his hand and clashed with Newgate again.

The moment the blades clashed, Newgate felt a weight in his hand. He was a man of immense strength, and even though he was seriously injured, he was still able to stop a giant ship like the Moby Dick with one hand, which showed how strong his body was.

So in just a moment, he adapted to the force, but before he could change his move, he felt the gravity increase. Not only did his hands feel heavy, but his whole body was enveloped in it.

With a whoosh, the ground beneath Newgate's feet crumbled first, unable to withstand the immense pressure, and began to collapse downwards.

"Hell Journey!" Ichisho said, holding a sword in one hand to block Murakumogiri, and pressing down into the air with the other hand.

With a deafening roar, the ground beneath Newgate's feet completely collapsed. Under the force of gravity, it crumbled rapidly, forming a deep abyss. At the last moment, Newgate roared, using the falling debris as leverage, and leaped backward to avoid the sinkhole.

However, because gravity was still enveloping him, his movements seemed somewhat sluggish; conversely, Borsalino's speed, due to this positive and negative force, appeared remarkably swift.

"Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi!" Borsalino's figure flashed and appeared in front of Newgate.

He drew his lightsaber and plunged it into Newgate's heart.

There was no time to dodge, nor time to counterattack or defend. It has to be said that even though Yixiao and Borsalino had never cooperated before, their combined abilities made them seem so in sync.

One slows down, the other travels at the speed of light!

In this critical moment, Newgate had no choice but to make a decision. He enveloped himself in Haki, shifted his feet slightly, and then, blood splattered as Borsalino's sword pierced through the Haki defense and plunged into Newgate's body.

However, instead of piercing the heart, Newgate's timely decision resulted in the stab only hitting the shoulder!

In the next instant, a surge of recoil erupted from Newgate's body, engulfing the Haki that was originally attached to him, and slammed into Borsalino, sending the nearly foot-sized Borsalino flying.

This time, the recoil came too fast and was too close, so Borsalino was unable to actively transform into his elemental form. After landing, he staggered back a few steps before regaining his balance. At the same time, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, and a few drops of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He was repelled, but Yi Xiao wouldn't stop. A purple aura swirled around him, and he once again attacked Newgate with his longsword, amplified by gravity, and slashed out.

Newgate instinctively lifted Murakumogiri, but in the next instant, he lost all weight and floated upwards.

This is what makes Yixiao so powerful. If someone who fights him doesn't have strong enough reaction and adaptability, and can't make a judgment about their body and the surrounding gravity environment in the shortest amount of time, they are very likely to suffer a great loss when caught off guard.

One second you're as heavy as a mountain, the next you're as light as a swallow—who could stand that?!

Newgate can handle it!

As a top expert who had roamed the seas for decades, although he sensed something was wrong for a moment, he reacted as quickly as possible. Even though the gravity was somewhat disordered, his Murakumo Giri was light and heavy in his hands, and he still accurately blocked the Gambler's Fire Line with a smile.

Then, with a series of rapid exchanges, the two clashed more than ten times in an instant. During this process, Newgate had already changed his approach. He realized that this kind of one-dimensional combat would not be able to break the deadlock against Borsalino and the blind swordsman in a short time, so he could not follow their rhythm!

With a slight slip, Newgate regained his balance and used Murakumo-giri to block Gambler's Fireline. Before Ichisho could exert any more force, Newgate roared, "Air Tremor!"

In an instant, Newgate was enveloped in a transparent halo, which then swept outwards in all directions. It was a comprehensive attack that was extremely fast, clearing out thousands of meters around him in the blink of an eye. Both pirates and marines were thrown away by the force of the shockwave.

With a ferocious look on his face, Yi Xiao stuck his staff and knife into the ground, and his whole body was surrounded by a purple aura. With powerful gravity, he pinned himself firmly to the spot.

However, Whitebeard gave him no chance. He stomped his foot hard, and another surge of powerful shockwave erupted. This strike was enough to overturn mountains. Yi Xiao's gravity was indeed no match for this force in terms of explosive power. In the end, he couldn't withstand it and was also blown away.

Newgate didn't pursue anything; he knew very well that he wasn't here to fight anyone, but to personally finish off Teach and Bane!

So, as Zhen Fei laughed, his gaze went straight to the execution platform in the distance, and then he paused for a moment.

Sengoku is still up there, that's true, and that bastard Teach is kneeling there too, that's true, but... where's that guy named Bane?!

That's right, Bane was no longer on the execution platform at this time. After Issho fought Borsalino and Whitebeard, he glanced at them a few times and then set his sights on Kaido.

At this moment, Bane had already crossed the chaotic battlefield and arrived at the edge of the battle between Garp and Kaido. Just like the battles of the other top masters, no one could get close to the two of them. Not only that, but they also had to find a way to avoid them. Ordinary marines and pirates who were accidentally caught in the middle might not be able to come out alive.

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

The fight between Garp and Kaido was also very intense. Both of them are tough guys, and their fight was brutal and realistic.

Garp had no abilities to begin with, while Kaido seemed to be in high spirits. Apart from transforming into a dragon-man and further enhancing his physical abilities, he didn't use any abilities. He even threw the Eight Precepts he was holding onto the ground some distance away. He wrapped his hands in Haki and engaged in a frenzied fight with Garp.

Bane has no sense of martial ethics. Seizing an opportunity, he charged directly into the battlefield between Garp and Kaido.

In that instant, Kaido and Garp clasped their hands together, adopting a wrestling stance. Perhaps because no one had disturbed them during the previous battles, Kaido truly hadn't expected someone to slip in at this moment.

The moment Garp saw Bane charging towards them, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes as he shouted, "Quick, Bane, don't bother with any chivalry with these pirates, just get them!"

"Damn it, Garp, you bastard! I didn't even use my powers to fight you, and you still act so despicable!" Kaido cursed angrily upon seeing this.

He tried to break free and fight back, but Garp wouldn't give him that chance, gritting his teeth and holding onto Kaido's hand tightly.

At that moment, Bane had already arrived beside the two. Without any hesitation, he leaped into the air and threw a punch at Kaido's head, roaring, "Rock Smash Storm Fist!!!"

This strike combined the essence of Bangu and Bomb's boxing styles, along with Banen's monstrous strength and Elbaf's power generation techniques, making it incredibly powerful!

With one punch, Kaido's nose was broken, blood gushing out. His massive body was then lifted off the ground. Garp released his grip, and Kaido was sent flying dozens of meters, rolling on the ground a dozen times before finally coming to a stop in his disheveled state.
