The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

A milky-white halo, like a spherical dome, instantly enveloped the fist, and a heart-palpitating "humming" sound filled the air!

Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his fist directly at the air in front of him!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The air emitted a terrifying sound, like glass shattering under the strain!

The destructive power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit erupted with a roar, and the entire space in front of them visibly twisted, folded, and cracked!

An invisible yet terrifying shockwave, powerful enough to tear the sea apart and shatter islands, rushed forward with the force to destroy everything!

However, during this devastating airquake, Gern, who had been standing motionless on the highest platform of the base, did not move an inch.

He simply raised his right hand silently, then spread his five fingers and gently pressed them against the empty space in front of him.

"Buzz..." A completely different, yet equally powerful force, originating from the source of "vibration," suddenly burst forth from Gern's palm!

Pale, finer, and sharper cracks instantly spread through the air in front of him.

It emits a high-frequency "buzzing" sound, as if the structure of the space itself is being forcibly altered and controlled!

This is not a head-on collision, but a more subtle and domineering...interference and neutralization!

Gurn's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, though delayed, arrived first, precisely capturing and intervening in the vibration frequency caused by Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

It's like using a precise tuning fork to forcibly stop the resonance of another tuning fork!

The next second, the air tremor that was originally powerful enough to destroy the world still occurred hundreds of meters above the sea cliff.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had suddenly grabbed its throat, and its power was suddenly reduced!

"Boom!!!" A muffled explosion, far less loud than expected, rang out in the air!

The sea surface was stirred up by huge waves, but the terrifying tremors and sense of space tearing that should have followed were strangely mostly gone!

Only the sea breeze, carrying moisture, caused by the powerful airburst, hitting everyone's faces proved that the attack had indeed occurred.

"Gurararara!!" Whitebeard squinted and chuckled, "You've gotten stronger again, kid from the Navy."

At the same time, the captains on the Moby Dick's pupils contracted sharply, even though they knew that Gurn's Heaven-Quake Fruit was a superior version of their father's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

But every time I see this scene, I can't help but show an incredulous shock on my face!

Gern slowly lowered his right hand, the sea breeze ruffling his hair. His gaze remained calm as he looked at the white beard, then he silently sat down cross-legged.

As if telling Whitebeard

Here, in this land ruled by his naval admiral "White Scale"

Even the strongest tremor in the world must abide by the rules of the sea guarded by Tianzhen Gen!

Chapter 256 Fierce Battle

"Gurara... You've got some skill!" Whitebeard let out a heavy snort as he saw that his angry attack had been neutralized by Gern in this way.

"Children!!" He then lifted the Murakumo-giri with one hand, its tip pointing at Gern standing high above, and issued the command in a booming voice:

"Bring your worthless brother back to me!!"

"Oh!!!" At the command, the captains on the Moby Dick, who had been unable to contain themselves any longer, jumped off the bow of the ship!

The first to be affected is the 7th Division Captain, Laco!

This burly man of medium build, with messy brown hair and a striking mustache, swung his arm around in a wide arc while still in mid-air!

The massive, spiked meteor hammer whistled through the air like a cannonball being fired.

It crashed straight down onto the sea cliff chains that suspended the Deckard Brothers!

His goal was crystal clear: save lives first!

However, just before the meteor hammer was about to hit its target...

A petite white figure appeared like a ghost, arriving before the meteor hammer's trajectory with a single "Shave"!

Libo showed none of her usual naivety or confusion; only the coldness and focus of a warrior remained.

His right leg lashed out like a whip, striking the iron chain connection on the side of the meteor hammer with perfect precision!

A crisp yet exceptionally loud clang of metal rang out!

The meteor hammer was deflected from its original trajectory by Ribo's seemingly effortless kick.

It crashed into the cliff face with a whoosh, creating a large crater and sending rocks flying everywhere!

“I’m sorry…” Libo landed with a cold expression. She flipped her hands, revealing two oddly shaped, orange-yellow daggers with green decorations at the tips (resembling carrot stems and leaves). She lowered her body slightly.

“Gern said they were to be hanged.”

"Fishman Karate - Samewa Ken!" Almost as soon as Ribo finished speaking, the captain of the 8th Division, the shark man Namur, had already arrived!

It was a standard Fishman Karate punch, carrying a compressed water vapor shockwave, which slammed into Ribo's back!

Ribo, sensing the sneak attack with her Observation Haki, didn't even turn her head. Her waist twisted as if boneless, narrowly avoiding the water wave's impact.

At the same time, he braced his hands on the ground and spun his legs out like lightning, kicking precisely at Miu's wrist and forcefully interrupting his punch!

His movements were fluid and graceful, demonstrating amazing combat instincts and physical skills.

Namur felt a pain in his wrist, his attack faltered, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected the mink tribe's reaction and strength to be so astonishing.

"Hmph! You troublesome brat!" At this moment, "Diamond" Jozu saw this and stopped watching. He let out a low roar, and his huge body was instantly covered with dazzling, hard diamonds!

Under the sunlight, it transformed into an indestructible diamond behemoth, ignoring the agile Lipo, and instead began to stride with heavy steps.

Like a heavy tank moving at full speed, it charged straight at the sea cliff in a brutal attack!

Their intention was to forcefully break through the defenses using absolute defense and sheer force!

However, just as Jozu took his first step and was about to accelerate,

The ground beneath my feet, which had been solid, suddenly became incredibly soft and sticky!

Looking down, he realized that the area where he had landed had transformed into a shimmering, ever-flowing liquid gold!

Like a suddenly appearing swamp, the powerful suction instantly wrapped around his diamond feet, bringing his heavy momentum to an abrupt halt!

"what?!"

Before Joz could react, more than a dozen thick golden chains shot out from the liquid gold.

It nimbly and swiftly wrapped around him, instantly locking his diamond legs, waist, and even arms tightly!

Although he couldn't break through the diamond defense, its powerful binding force effectively restricted his movements!

Joz turned around abruptly, looking in the direction from which the golden chains originated.

Not far away, Tesoro was already standing there, wearing a business-like fake smile, and liquid gold was slowly flowing in his palm as if it had a life of its own.

He tilted his head slightly and said to Joz, who was glaring at him angrily, "I'm sorry, Mr. 'Diamond' Joz."

"This time, your opponent... is me."

Gold has officially blocked the path of diamonds!

.......

Seeing that Rakuyo's meteor hammer was blocked, Namur's surprise attack was neutralized, and even Jozu's diamond charge was tightly entangled by Tesoro's gold, the Whitebeard Pirates' commanders' offensive was thwarted.

Just then, a fierce flying slash shot into the sky!

Fifth Division Captain, Vista the Flower Sword, his signature curved mustache twitching slightly, his eyes sharpening.

At the same time, he slowly placed his hands on the hilts of the two Western swords at his waist and said in a deep voice, "It seems that I can't save people in peace until I get past you first."

"Clang!" The two swords were suddenly drawn, their cold light gleaming!

Vista's aura suddenly changed; he slammed his feet into the ground, and his body shot out like an arrow.

The objective was to target Lipo, whose defenses appeared relatively weak, with the intention of creating an opening for their comrades.

"Rose Dance!" Vista shouted, and his twin swords instantly transformed into countless dazzling sword lights!

These sword lights were not chaotic, but rather like a steel rose composed of deadly sharpness, blooming in an instant—beautiful yet dangerous.

With a piercing whistling sound, it completely enveloped Lipo and the area behind her!

The sword energy crisscrossed, even cutting countless fine sword marks into the ground!

This strike was swift, elegant, and covered a wide area, showcasing the master swordsman's superb skills!

However, just as that deadly "Blade Rose" was about to devour Ribo...

A languid yet chilling female voice rang out: "To play with sword dance in front of me... is rather presumptuous."

Before the words were even finished, a stunning orange-red figure darted into the battlefield like a ghost, perfectly positioned between Ribo and the sword light!

Boa Hancock, Torituma has already made his move without us even realizing it!

She didn't even fully draw her slender sword; instead, she used a leg technique favored by Amazon Lily to kick Vista's hand.

Then, with a turn of his body, he gently pushed the hilt of the sword with his right thumb, drawing it out of the sheath by three inches, while his left hand still gracefully supported the sheath.

"Nine Serpents Style: Youthful Bloom!"

"Clang!" A super thin and sharp crescent-shaped pink slash suddenly burst out from the blade of her sword, which was only three inches from its sheath!

This strike released no excess power; all its force was concentrated in that thin arc.

With a precise strike, he landed right in the center of Vista's dazzling "Rose" sword shadows!

"Swoosh!" Like the sharpest scissors cutting through gorgeous silk, the seemingly flawless "Rose Dance" was revealed.

It was actually torn apart from the middle by this "Youthful Radiance" attack that had been condensed to the extreme!

The violent sword energy rippled outwards, carving deep furrows into the ground, but just barely avoiding Libo behind it.

Vista's forward momentum abruptly halted, his twin swords crossed in front of him, steadily blocking the aftershock of "Youthful Bloom"'s strike, though his wrists were slightly numb from the impact.

He raised his head, his eyes blazing with unprecedented excitement and fighting spirit, and stared intently at the suddenly appearing Snake Queen.

“It’s you again, woman!” Vista said in a deep voice.

The two, both great swordsmen, have already fought countless times!

"What?" The Snake Princess slowly drew her sword completely, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground, her long orange-red hair swaying slightly in the sea breeze.

Her stunningly beautiful face wore a smile that combined arrogance and languor.

"Facing Amazon Lily, a former candidate for emperor and a former member of the Kuja Pirates..."

The most beautiful woman under Admiral Bai Lin, and his one and only beloved woman!

Are you scared?

Vista: "......."

The gazes of the two great swordsmen collided in mid-air, as if sparking invisible flames.

The next moment, Vista laughed loudly: "Good! It seems this battle should be decided!" He brandished his twin swords and launched another attack, the sword light as swift as a storm!

Snake Princess's eyes narrowed, and the long sword in her hand transformed into a series of precise and deadly cold lights as she met the attack head-on!

"Jingle bells, jingle bells!"

In an instant, the crisp sounds of swords clashing rang out like a torrential downpour on banana leaves!

The two figures transformed into two blurry streaks of light, their swordplay exquisite and their speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.

A pure sword duel was fiercely unfolding in a corner of the battlefield, with sword energy overflowing and cutting the surrounding ground to pieces!

Chapter 257 Fierce Battle (Part Two)

Just as the swordsmanship duel between Boa Hancock and Vista was in full swing, the battle directly in front of the Moby Dick was turning into a one-sided and crushing defeat!

"BOOM!!!" A violent explosion rang out, and smoke and shockwaves swept outwards!

"All of you piece of trash, come at me together!!"

Douglas Barrett's imposing figure slowly rose from the dust, his body enveloped in a highly refined, jet-black Armament Haki.

Like a demon returned from hell, his pure physical skills combined with domineering aura unleash a terrifying power that inspires despair!

Sixth Division Captain Bramank and Tenth Division Captain Curiel (Blenheim) attempted to attack from both sides, their weapons slamming down with Haki!

However, Barrett's movements were faster than anyone could have imagined!
