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

His hands shot out like lightning, striking back with surprising precision, grabbing each of them by the face!

Ignoring their brandishing weapons and struggles, Barrett grinned maliciously, his arms bursting with terrifying strength as he grabbed their heads and slammed them together like striking a bell!

"Thump!!!" A dull thud that made your teeth ache!

Bramank and Curiel didn't even have time to scream before their vision went blank.

His Armament Haki dissipated, and he flew backward softly like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and losing consciousness.

"Opportunity!" Just as Barrett finished off the two men, Marshall D. Teach seized the opportunity.

Like a lurking viper, it darted out of the shadows, its hand with claw-like blades aimed at Barrett's back!

But Barrett's combat instincts are on a beast-like level!

He didn't even turn around, he just reached back and scooped it up.

The large hand covered in top-level Armament Haki gripped Teach's wrist with unparalleled precision, like an iron clamp!

“This…” Teach’s pupils dilated. “Hey! Wait, I…”

"A sneak attack? Too slow!" Barrett growled, his arm muscles bulging as he grabbed Teach's arm, swung it up like a rag doll, and slammed it hard into the ground!

"Bang!!!" The ground was smashed, creating a deep crater. Teach coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted.

The excruciating pain instantly rendered him unable to move, leaving him paralyzed at the bottom of the pit, unable to move for a while.

The next moment, Barrett's figure vanished from the spot like a ghost!

Sachi felt a blur before his eyes, and the demon-like figure appeared in front of him, the domineering fist rapidly enlarging in his pupils!

"Pfft!" Before he could even mount any effective defense, Sachi felt an irresistible force slam into his abdomen.

The excruciating pain instantly stripped him of all consciousness, and he was sent flying straight into the sky as if he had been hit by a speeding train!

With almost no pause, the ground beneath Barrett's feet exploded, and he teleported again!

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Izou, the captain of the 16th Division.

Before Izo could even raise his twin pistols, he felt a gust of evil wind rush towards him!

Barrett didn't bother with any techniques; he simply delivered a powerful, sweeping punch covered in Armament Haki, which landed squarely on Izou's side!

"Cough!!" Izou coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flying sideways like a kite with a broken string, and the two guns in his hands flew out of his grasp!

Just as Izang was about to crash heavily to the ground, a huge arm caught him steadily.

Whitebeard had stood up at some point. He caught the heavily injured Izo and gently placed him on the deck. His majestic face was now covered in frost, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Especially when he looked down at Barrett, who was like a tiger among sheep, with almost no one able to defeat him, his eyes were filled with solemnity.

This guy is even stronger than the rumors say!

"Kurarara..." Whitebeard laughed angrily, lifting the massive Murakumogiri with one hand.

Its massive body unleashed an astonishing speed completely disproportionate to its size, leaping abruptly off the Moby Dick!

"Hey!!!"

Whitebeard's thunderous roar shook the battlefield. Even as he was still in mid-air, the Murakumogiri, one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Swords, pierced the air.

Already imbued with the terrifying power to shatter mountains and split seas, and Armament Haki refined to its extreme, it tore through the air and slashed fiercely towards Barrett's front!

"The challenger kid who once sailed on Roger's ship!!!"

This strike was simple and direct, yet it contained the boundless rage and absolute power of the "world's strongest man"!

Barrett, who was enjoying the crushing pleasure, heard the roar and the familiar address and turned around abruptly, a grin of excitement and savagery spreading across his face.

"Whitebeard!!"

However, his smile had only just appeared

"boom!!!!!!"

The blade of Murakumogiri had already struck!

Barrett instinctively pushed his Armament Haki to its limit and used a cross-bar to block!

But Whitebeard's angry slash was far more powerful than he had anticipated!

The moment they made contact, an unimaginable force erupted like a tidal wave!

Barrett's arms, which were blocking the attack, groaned in unbearable strain; he felt as if he had been struck head-on by a high-speed mountain.

His face turned pale, his feet left the ground, and he lost all control of his body, flying backward like a cannonball!

They plowed a deep trench tens of meters long into the ground, finally managing to stop their retreat amidst a cloud of dust.

The power of Whitebeard's single slash was terrifying!

The battlefield fell silent instantly!

"Looks like Roger didn't teach you..." Whitebeard stood in the center of the battlefield, wielding the Murakumogiri in one hand.

The white captain's coat fluttered in the sea breeze, his gaze coldly fixed on the direction Barrett had flown.

His voice was deep and authoritative: "What is politeness!"

Just as Barrett was cleaved by Whitebeard's sword and sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into countless rubble and creating a cloud of dust...

"Yay ha ha ha ha!!!" A maniacal and arrogant laugh, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap, suddenly resounded across the battlefield!

A dazzling azure lightning flashed as if teleporting, and Enel's figure was already suspended in mid-air.

His body was crackling with violent electricity, his golden staff pointed directly at the white-bearded figure standing below, his face filled with godlike arrogance and contempt for ants:

"How dare you harm God's subordinates here?! It seems you old codger have absolutely no idea what true 'divine majesty' is!"

Let you, a mere mortal, experience firsthand... the judgment of God!

Before he could finish speaking, the taiko drum behind him struck with a loud "dong"!

"2 Million Volts Thunder Dragon!!"

The raging lightning instantly coalesced into a ferocious, roaring, and lifelike gigantic lightning dragon, baring its fangs and claws, emitting a deafening hiss.

Carrying destructive energy, it pounced down towards Whitebeard!

Wherever it passed, the air was ionized and emitted a pungent, burnt smell!

However, just a second before the thunder dragon was about to devour the white-bearded man, a loud bird cry echoed across the battlefield!

"Sorry, I won't let you bother Dad."

"Whoosh!" A large expanse of azure flames, as if from the netherworld, appeared out of thin air and instantly condensed into a huge and thick flame shield in front of Whitebeard!

The raging thunder dragon crashed headlong into the azure flame shield, only to vanish without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

The violent lightning energy was frantically devoured by the strange blue flames, only causing a violent ripple, but it failed to break through even slightly!

The next second, the Azure Flame Shield suddenly dispersed, transforming into a stream of fire!

Amidst the raging flames, a figure wreathed in azure flames shot out at incredible speed—it was none other than "Phoenix" Marco!

His eyes were sharp, and his right leg, covered in blue flames, was like a battle axe, kicking hard at Enel who was floating in the air with a whistling sound as it tore through the air!

"Clang!!!" Enel reacted extremely quickly, his golden staff instantly covered in jet-black Armament Haki as he blocked horizontally.

The legs collided, producing a loud sound like metal clashing!

The powerful impact caused Enel's suspended body to drift backward several meters.

Marco used a backflip to gracefully hover opposite Enel, his blue flame wings slowly flapping behind him.

He looked at the self-proclaimed "god" in front of him, a guy crackling with electricity, and a helpless yet slightly mocking smile appeared on his face:

"Hey, hey, you're going all out right from the start. Are young people these days so impatient?"

"Hello, you chuunibyou... uh, Raiden Boy." He almost blurted out his true feelings, "chuunibyou boy," but changed his words at the last minute.

Enel was thoroughly enraged by Marco's mocking tone and his effortless blocking of his Thunder Dragon. His golden staff trembled...

He forced Marco back slightly, his eyes flashing with lightning, and replied through gritted teeth:

"Tch! A flying...birdman!" He seemed to be looking for a more insulting word, but finally managed to utter this.

"Birdman?" Marco raised an eyebrow, and his blue flame wings flapped suddenly, blazing brightly.

"Then you'd better watch out, my 'birdman's' claws are very sharp!"

"Stop talking big! Watch God roast you like a chicken!" Enel roared, striking the drum with his golden cudgel once more, and even more violent lightning began to gather!

“How many times have I told you…” Marco sighed, but his eyes became serious, and blue flames coiled around his body as if they were alive.

"I'm an immortal phoenix!!"

The next moment, lightning and blue flames collided again!

God and the phoenix engaged in a fierce chase and battle in the air!

The thunder spear and the azure flame claws intertwined, creating a deafening roar that turned the sky into their battlefield!

Chapter 258 The Strongest Man in the World

The forward defense island where G-10 base is located has become a boiling furnace of battlefields.

All around, the swordsman's strikes tore through the air, diamonds and gold clashed violently, and lightning and blue flames intertwined with a deafening roar.

The agility of the white rabbit, the roar of the demon, and the furious shouts of the Whitebeard Pirates' captains rose and fell in waves.

However, at the heart of this extreme chaos, there exist two absolute "still points".

At one end of the battlefield, Whitebeard stood tall and imposing, the tip of Murakumogiri's sword pointing diagonally at the ground.

The white captain's coat danced wildly in the turbulent air, but his mountain-like body remained perfectly still.

His gaze pierced through the chaotic battlefield, like a lion locking onto its prey, fixed on the figure sitting cross-legged on the high platform of the distant base.

On the other side of the battlefield, Gern had somehow risen from the high platform and jumped down, slowly walking forward.

And every step he took was exceptionally steady, with a chilling silence permeating his entire being.

Immediately afterwards, Gern's lips curled up slightly, and his left hand finally gripped the hilt of the black sword, Eight Desolations, which was wrapped in old gray-white bandages and had always been tucked at his waist.

Their eyes met in mid-air, without a word, yet it was as if invisible lightning was colliding fiercely.

The entire bustling battlefield seemed to pale in comparison to their silent gaze.

Everyone engaged in combat felt a sudden pang of fear, and their movements became slightly sluggish.

The next moment, the two of them took a step at the same time.

Whitebeard dragged his massive Murakumogiri blade, the edge carving deep furrows in the rocky ground, sparks flying everywhere.

Gern gripped the hilt of the Black Blade Eight Desolations in his backhand and walked slowly forward. His dormant aura was like the receding tide before a tsunami, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

As the two approached, an indescribable, dark red energy began to emanate from their bodies.

Like boiling blood, or like tangible killing intent!

Black and red, dark purple lightning began to burst forth in the air, crackling loudly!

Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki began to converge and entwine wildly towards the Murakumogiri in his hand!

The Supreme Grade Sword emitted an excited hum, its blade gleaming with a terrifying dark red sheen.

It seemed to have come to life, yearning for destruction and conquest!

At the same time, the black blade Bahuang in Gern's hands also underwent a change!

The old bandages wrapped around it seemed to be eroded by an invisible force, crumbling and disintegrating inch by inch.

Like gray butterflies, they fluttered down, revealing the deep, dark blade beneath them that seemed to absorb all light!

And it possessed a dark purple Conqueror's Haki that was equally vast and boundless, yet completely different—a calamity-like majesty.

It also erupted completely from Gern's body, transforming into lightning that precisely and violently wrapped around the blade of the Black Blade Eight Desolations!

The air around the blade began to distort and collapse, emitting a low-frequency vibration!

The distance between them gradually closed, and they began to jog.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters...

In an instant, the sound of the entire battlefield seemed to be drawn away, and everyone's eyes were involuntarily drawn to the two figures, and they were shocked by the two domineering auras that were enough to make the world lose its color!
