One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

Mabi saw the mangled figure emerge from the deep sea chasm, its white bones exposed from its shoulders. Despite its severe injuries, it did not retreat an inch. It lightly lifted its feet, its eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit as it stared at the steel-boned figure suspended in mid-air.

"Watching Whitebeard suffer and waiting to die is not in my nature! So what if he's a former marshal? I'll face him with my sword!"

The tragedy of Garp must never be repeated!

The longsword in his hand instantly condensed with silver-white light, and endless spatial rifts raced across it. His figure flashed and appeared above the opponent's forehead.

"Salted Fish! Shatter the Void!" Mabi concentrated all her strength on the tip of her blade, and the space around her gradually solidified under Mabi's control, forming a spatial barrier that was invisible to the naked eye around Steelbone Void, trapping him firmly within it.

Click! Click!

A sound like shattered glass being crushed rang in their ears. Steel Bone Kong, who was trapped in the space, remained calm, his entire body covered in Armament Haki.

The spatial rift that was powerful enough to force Akainu and the others to materialize was created on his body by Armament Haki, which was several times stronger, and then shattered and disappeared! Armament Haki emanated from his feet, protecting his skin as he stepped on the space imprisoned by Maple. His thick fists met Maple's thrusting sword with his swing!

Click! Click!

Silver-white cracks danced on the tip of the blade. The sharp blade struck the opponent's fist as if it had encountered the hardest substance in the world and could no longer advance. The intense dullness on the blade instantly entered all of Merry's senses!

Click! Click!

Countless spaces shattered! Under the powerful protection of Armament Haki, the body slowly moved forward.

Mabi's figure, suspended in mid-air, was slowly moved backward by the opponent's terrifying power, leaving behind endless spatial rifts!

I missed a step!

With a backward movement, Mabi stomped her feet hard, and a spatial rift instantly materialized on the soles of her feet, shattering the void and forming a solid fulcrum. Her body, which was suspended in the sky, was stabilized by the solid ground beneath her feet.

With solid footing, Mabi no longer relied on a sudden burst of power to attack, but instead used the instantaneous tension of all her muscles to slowly release the force, propelling her forward with several times the power of her previous thrust.

In the blink of an eye, under Mabi's powerful attack, a dent appeared on the opponent's thick Armament Haki-covered skin, and cracks began to appear on the solid Armament Haki armor. At the same time, bloodstains spread outwards from the blade tip on the aged skin of her fist!

It'll be soon!

Mabi roared inwardly, knowing that as long as the blade tip touched the skin, her Salted Fish Ability would allow her to use the Guardian Longsword to thrust the Salted Fish Thrust into the opponent's body, instantly knocking them unconscious. As for the reflex ability, it was simply too far away at a distance of tens of meters to deflect and hit them!

Before Mabi could finish venting her anger, an iron fist struck out fiercely, directly hitting the longsword covered with silver-white spatial cracks!

The blade's trajectory shifted instantly, crashing into another direction. With a stomp of his feet, his body bent and launched the long sword in his hand, using the momentum of his body to quickly slash upwards. The silver-white blade of energy brushed against his body before being crushed and scattered by a pair of giant hands!

Just as Maple unleashed her attack, her figure vanished! She reappeared behind Akainu and the other two who were fighting Whitebeard. With a wave of her hand, a sphere tens of meters in diameter appeared, about to envelop the three of them. A familiar fist appeared beside Maple and swung upwards, its target Maple's outstretched arm!

Instantaneous movement! Just as Mabi was about to be attacked, she vanished again and charged forward once more with her sword!

"Kill Whitebeard! Leave this flea to me!" Kong Kong commanded, punching away the long blade that fell from the sky.

"Yes!" the three shouted in unison, their hands swirling with the power of nature as they delivered their final judgment on the heavily wounded Whitebeard!

"Get out of the way!" Seeing Whitebeard being attacked by three people behind him, with Tsuru finishing him off, he urgently pounded his silver fists into Kong's arms. However, Kong's foresight and overwhelming aura made it seem like an insurmountable chasm, making it impossible to achieve a qualitative leap!

Chapter 206 Mabi's Unleashed Power! Overwhelming! Sweeping Away! (Part 1)

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The two fists clashed again. In the heat of the moment, cracks spread around Maby's body, which were once again smoothed out by Steel Bone Kong's powerful Armament Haki as he attacked Maby's body.

Within a small space, using speed comparable to teleportation to predict the location and forcefully block it, the power enough to shatter spatial rifts makes it even more difficult to save Whitebeard within a limited time. The precognitive ability of Observation Haki is far superior to instant perception!

With the ability to anticipate and judge events seconds in advance between top-tier fighters, coupled with world-class combat skills, even the fastest and strongest fighters cannot break through the time barrier. This makes Cyborg Kong a completely overwhelming force.

Behind him, the blood around Whitebeard had stopped flowing, and the vibration aura in his hand had begun to gradually shrink under the attack of the three. The powerful natural energy bombarded his skin, which was not armed with armor, without any hindrance. Large chunks of flesh and blood were splattered, leaving only his indomitable will to support his body's movements!

In the distance, the golden lion roared repeatedly in the sky, its sharp slashes flying everywhere, yet unable to break through the blockade formed by Garp and Sengoku.

A salted fish can turn over again!

Ignoring the figures surrounding her, Mabi channeled her mental energy to stimulate her entire body once more. Since it wouldn't bring about a qualitative change, she'd increase the intensity. She didn't know how her other personality had managed it back then, but if she could successfully turn things around, she would gain four times her overall physical strength. After all, with her current physical attributes, every bit of improvement brought a power boost several times greater than before; four times the strength would result in at least a hundredfold increase in power. She would then use the same tactic Kizaru employed to injure those behind him in order to seal her teleportation ability, allowing Kong to forcefully engage and use her superior strength to kill them!

As for unleashing that lawless personality, it was no longer on Mabi's mind. She hoped that Garp wouldn't get beaten up by the other personality, since once awakened from his confinement in darkness, he would sweep away everything, even his own companions. Mabi could clearly feel her own mental strength declining; she probably couldn't hold on much longer, and delaying would only bring disaster upon herself.

Her vision blurred, her body suddenly plummeted, and then abruptly stopped. Mabi slowly raised her head, surveying the surrounding battle, a wicked smile playing on her lips. The personality that had fully absorbed Mabi's memories awakened once more. Looking at the shattered world around her, she burst into boundless, maniacal laughter: "Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! I'm back!"

So this is only the Marineford War! It truly is a turning point in this world. Since they've sent me out to fight, then let me write the outcome of this battle!

"Sengoku and Akainu, you'd better give your lives!"

Boundless laughter suddenly resounded across the entire sky, and a thunderous roar echoed throughout the battlefield.

"Damn it! You actually let this bastard out. Sengoku, you're in charge here!" Garp cursed under his breath upon seeing the battlefield. He unleashed a powerful attack imbued with Armament Haki, knocking away the solidified lion's head in front of him. He then used Moonwalk to fly towards Mapi's direction.

Seeing Mabe's wicked smile, he seemed to have been transformed, radiating an aura completely different from before. This caused Kong's aged face to change drastically, as if he had seen something, and he roared, "Kill Whitebeard immediately!"

He stared at Mabi's figure with utmost caution and full vigilance. The vision he had foreseen, which was enough to shatter and kill everyone present, stirred up his emotions that had been calm for decades. It was a power that completely surpassed his own. Only the black shadow that appeared at the end would offer a glimmer of hope!

"Haha! Only lasting ten seconds? You really think too highly of me! But a few seconds is enough for a kill!"

The silver-white space around Mabi shattered with a roar, swirling like quicksand. Her figure vanished in an instant. With her physique four times stronger than normal, the muscles and bones of her arms swung at four times the speed of before, accumulating power so that each strike possessed a hundred times stronger than in her normal state.

The air was shaken!

The Milky Way shatters! The ocean waves surge!

The silvery-white quicksand surged like a tidal wave, relentlessly washing over the surrounding spatial barriers and brushing away pieces of silvery-white sand. As Mabi rapidly swung her arm, countless silver grains flew and engulfed the space around Mabi's arm, rushing forward.

Fist met fist! Silvery-white, quicksand-like spatial fragments erupted, filling his surroundings and imprisoning all the space around him! Thin, fine spatial cracks seemed to divide the entire world into pieces, allowing him to control it at will, unlike before when only cracks were left and then repaired by the world.

Steel Bone Sky's Armament Haki, which had previously left Mabi helpless, also cracked like a spider web. Ten times stronger than before, it instantly erupted, completely breaking the previous stalemate. As Mabi's arm moved forward again, a series of ear-piercing sonic booms rang out in the air. The opponent's body drew circles of white sonic booms in the air and crashed into the distant sea, creating towering waves.

"Haha! The power is even stronger than before, which is truly exhilarating! And you three too!" Mabi laughed loudly after blasting away Steel Bone Kong. Her figure moved and reappeared in front of Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji who were besieging them. The silver-white quicksand instantly collapsed and spread throughout the surrounding space, turning into starlight that imprisoned this world. She swung her long sword across their waists, striking the three people in front of her who were surrounded by energy.

Mebina rushed in and appeared before them, imprisoning and attacking them in a very brief moment, lasting less than a fraction of a second. This left them no time to escape, and the three of them were instantly imprisoned in the air by the sand-like spatial fragments, directly facing Mebina's sharp, sand-like longsword.

The silver moon shimmered in the sky! A piercing scream, as if shattering through Armament Haki armor, echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Magma, ice, and flashes of light! The three different energies attached to their bodies erupted simultaneously, tearing their clothes and revealing their scarred bodies. A line of blood appeared from each of their abdomens, and the bright red blood gradually flowed down, staining the skin and muscles below their waists.

The longsword slashed across three people, instantly injuring them severely! In less than a second, four of the seven who had been helpless before had already been killed.

"Die!" With a swift swing of her longsword, Mabi aimed directly at the necks of the three already bound. A cold glint flashed in her eyes. In the limited time available, she had to kill them; only the dead would not harm the bodies that would be rendered incapable of fighting later.

"Damn it! Do you want this world to descend into chaos?!" A figure appeared and roared, bursting forth directly in front of Mabi.

Garp, his body riddled with bloody holes, suddenly appeared before Mabi. His once pristine white uniform was now a blood-soaked garment, the result of his forceful intrusion into the quicksand-like spatial fragments Mabi had created. His Haki emanated from his body, sealing off his blood and conserving his strength. His furious eyes glared angrily at Mabi, who was suspended in mid-air.

"Haha! Garp, I'm not the same person I was eight years ago when I first appeared! The one you could knead, beat up, and teach a lesson to. Now I'm on this battlefield."

Even if you are this body's teacher, I wouldn't mind fighting you again, after all, he came here for your sake.

"He'll tolerate your stance, but I won't. A cowardly fight will only get you killed. There's absolutely no way you'll make me back down." Mabi smirked as she glanced at Garp, her silver-white quicksand twisting and striking him without hesitation as he hovered in the air.

Fist against fist! The force, a hundred times stronger, was something Garp could not withstand. It broke through the Armament Haki and flowed down the opponent's arm, into Garp's iron fist, slamming Garp's body into the sea and away from the battlefield.

His figure vanished and reappeared before the three bound men, their foreheads throbbing with veins and their bodies drenched in cold sweat. He swung his long sword once more, aiming for their upright necks.

Unbeknownst to them, a tall, slender figure appeared above Maby, a pale finger extending from the wide cloak and gently tapping above Maby's head, a calm voice slowly drifting out!

"Time! Stop!"

Chapter 207 Im! Uranus! Appear! Showdown! (Part Two)

A few seconds ago!

Mia, who was squatting in an empty hall with her hands wrapped around her knees and holding her tattered long dress, looked up at a giant screen in front of her and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Mabi has activated that ability again, but this is a battlefield! He's always protected us, now who will protect him!"

The screen was showing the battle at Marineford, and the viewer looked at the figure hovering in the air with worry.

"Hey! Im is finally out! I've been waiting for so long!" A deep voice rang out in the empty metal hall.

Upon hearing this voice, Mia seemed to realize something.

His hazy, helpless eyes gradually regained some spirit.

“Uranus! Since you call me Your Majesty, I command you to join the battle and save him.”

"Your Majesty, I cannot obey your order! The command not to harm anyone in this world is one I have been bound to obey since the day I was born, and even Your Majesty cannot change it!"

However, the intruder is not dangerous, Your Majesty, your worries are unnecessary.

"Please hold yourself safe. This demon has been hiding on the Red Earth for over eight hundred years. Today, I must kill him!" As the deep voice rang out, the entire metal hall began to vibrate irregularly, and a beam of pure white light flashed across the sky and disappeared into the distance.

···

The sky above the shattered Marineford!

Mabi, enveloped in silvery-white quicksand, froze in mid-air like a photograph the moment the dark figure appeared, the bloodstains on her skin ceasing to flow. The silvery-white quicksand spatial fragments melted and vanished in the air like ice and snow, and the sharp blade barely grazed Akainu's neck before seemingly encountering an insurmountable obstacle, unable to advance even an inch further.

Upon seeing this scene, the three imprisoned individuals realized they were no longer bound. They each used their abilities to seal the wounds in their abdomens to prevent their internal organs from spilling out, and all looked at Mabi, who was fixed in the air, with a shimmering light in her hand.

"Damn it!" The white-bearded man, covered in blood and with his bones exposed, looked up at the three figures about to attack in the sky, his eyes filled with rage, and he wanted to swing his naginata again.

But with just a slight lift of the heavy naginata, it plummeted to the shattered ground beneath its feet, carrying the crystalline hand with it. The severed wrist clearly revealed muscles, blood vessels, and white tendons, unaware that the wrist had already been severed by the sharp blade, becoming a crystalline fragment separated from the hand.

His bones and internal organs, exposed to the air, rendered him unable to move an inch, and he could only watch helplessly as Mabi floated in the sky.

Just then, a beam of white light streaked through layers of space and arrived instantly, appearing directly in front of the dark figure.

A slender, black-clad figure, expressionless as still water, extended a pale finger and pointed forward:

"Time rewind!"

The white light momentarily froze, and the space between the rays of light from the fingers gradually began to distort and swirl into a mess, while the white light began to slowly recede.

call out!

As the first beam of white light began to slowly recede, accompanied by a barely audible sound.

A beam of white light appeared again in the distance, instantly appearing in front of him. With a gesture, a chaotic pool formed between him and the white light, causing the white light to stop.

“Imm, you possess the power to control time. Eight hundred years ago, I was unable to attach the power to imprison you in time to the Annihilation Ray, allowing you to escape. You used a large number of native inhabitants as cover to prevent me from attacking the Red Line. But for eight hundred years, I have been thinking about avenging His Majesty and the others, researching the ability of the Annihilation Ray to imprison you. Now I have finally waited for you to appear, and I will soon send your companions to meet you.”

Hovering in the sky, Uranus sensed the situation in the distance, his body covered in countless robots that rushed around to maintain his trembling body.

Like a torrential downpour, countless streams of white light shot out from his body, tearing through the sky and disappearing into the distance. In an instant, they appeared on the battlefield, converging into a white waterfall as they rushed towards the black figure below.

The white light on the opponent's finger did not return along its original trajectory. The white light reappeared above the body, and the black figure slightly raised its head and glanced at the pale finger in the sky, which then gently bent and pointed at itself.

"Time flows!" With a slight lift of his legs, his entire body vanished instantly as time accelerated, only to reappear thousands of meters away.

As the white waterfall cascaded down from the sky, Mabi, whose abilities had been dispelled and who had regained her mobility, felt the three people who had been imprisoned instantly regain their mobility. The energy lights in the hands of the three opponents flashed and appeared in front of her, about to freeze, cut, and burn her.
