In the center of the battlefield.
Gawain held the sword on his waist with one hand, feeling the air pressure whistling from the sky, almost crushing the ground under his feet, and frowned for a moment.
If the floating island were allowed to fall, no one, whether it was the civilians of Water 7 or his companions, would survive.
Gawain could not accept either of these.
Therefore, there was only one choice in front of him!
Clang!
Amid the harsh sound of metal friction, silver-white flying slash and red lightning flashed, and the sword in Gawain's hand swept across the sky like a stream of light.
The floating island falling from the sky had a momentary lag, and then it was divided into two even halves from the middle.
Boom!
The dazzling light shone in from the smooth incision, like a cut that cut through the entire Water 7.
And at this moment, Law was in the center of that cut.
He stared blankly at the island separated in the sky, his lips slightly parted, and he was speechless because of shock.
This is… the man who defeated Golden Lion?!
The monster that cut through the falling island with one slash!
Law had difficulty describing the shock in his heart.
But the next moment, he was grabbed by Bepo and was carried towards the edge of Water 7.
Although the floating island in the sky was cut, the falling momentum was still unstoppable.
The wind pressure even became stronger with the passage of time, and many damaged buildings began to collapse.
"Tsk!"
Gawain spat out a mouthful of saliva with an extremely ugly expression.
Golden Lion was dead.
But the floating island he left behind brought great trouble. Gawain was able to cut it, but it was difficult to stop the falling momentum.
He was about to continue trying, but his action stopped, and his frown relaxed at this moment.
"So, he's also here?!"
In the distant horizon, a tall figure wearing a purple feather cloak sat on a small boat, rushing toward them.
The floating island that had lost control because of Golden Lion's death was falling from the sky.
It had a diameter of over ten kilometers, and its weight was beyond measure.
Simply using human strength to lift it up is no longer something humans can do.
But Fujitora can!
Or rather, Fujitora's Devil Fruit can!
Fujitora half-crouched and stood up, feeling Gawain's aura, with a smile on his face: "Is it you who appeared here pretending to be a Marine?"
Gawain smiled: "Stop talking nonsense, help me!"
"Then I'll show my ugliness."
After a faint chuckle, Fujitora suddenly drew his sword from his waist and slashed out.
Layers of faint purple light emanated from him and expanded toward the sky.
"Gravity Blade: Counter Current!"
The purple light met the falling floating island, and the island's descent slowed dramatically.
Eventually, it came to a complete stop less than a hundred meters from the ground and began to float back up into the sky.
This crisis, which could have doomed Water 7 and most of the people on the island, was effortlessly diffused by Fujitora.
Among the three types of Devil Fruits, if the Logia type has the highest upper limit and the most exaggerated killing range, and the Zoan type is truly the first in hand-to-hand combat, then the Paramecia type is known for producing various bizarre abilities.
Golden Lion of the Float-Float Fruit is one, and Fujitora is another.
Even Gawain doesn't have the ability to resolve natural disasters with just a wave of his hand.
The falling island suddenly stopped and then rose into the sky again.
All those who saw this scene were stunned at this moment.
"Golden Lion is not dead?!"
"No!"
"That guy's breath has clearly disappeared!"
In the sky, Big Mom, who had been planning to watch the scene, looked at the slowly rising island and felt as if she were in a dream.
She has been with Golden Lion for many years, so she naturally knows how powerful Golden Lion is.
Even though his body is aging and he is not at his peak, he is still powerful, and the ability of the Float-Float Fruit is unstoppable.
The floating island with a diameter of ten kilometers falls, and everything will be crushed.
In fact, if Gawain and everyone in Water 7 were buried in the sea. This was the best scenario.
But now it has been completely broken.
"That guy did it!"
Soon, Big Mom noticed Fujitora floating in the air in the distance, and her eyes were filled with great fear: "To be able to develop the Devil Fruit ability to this point, this guy is definitely not an unknown person, and there is also such a dangerous aura..."
"Is this the hidden reinforcement of White Knight Gawain?!"
Thinking of this, Big Mom couldn't help but feel secretly shocked in her heart. Gawain's danger level in her heart has risen to another level.
"Damn it!"
"We have been tricked from the beginning to the end!"
"First, Admiral Aokiji showed up, and then there was this person with devil fruit ability that completely targeted Golden Lion… A conspiracy from the World Government!"
"It must be like this!"
"After all, White Knight Gawain is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea authorized by the World Government!"
The more she thought about it, the more frightened Big Mom became.
Now that she has the blueprint of Pluton, she just wants to get away with Katakuri and return to the New World to create Pluton.
Nothing can go wrong from here!
The same thing happened to Ochoku on the other side. He teleported continuously and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
Whoosh!
The sea wind howled.
The surviving civilians on the beach didn't know what expression to put on their faces.
They had experienced too many ups and downs recently, and their spirits were numb.
At this moment, they only felt that the sunshine shining on them was so warm.
"It's so warm."
"But it's great that everyone can be saved..."
T Bone murmured, and the string that had been stretched in his heart was broken at this moment, and his heaving chest slowly calmed down.
He died.
Died under the sun, died at the moment of hope.
Akainu put down T Bone's hand and looked at the warship in the distance.
His sight became firm at this moment, and he pointed out.
Whoosh!
A lava bomb flew out, killing the CP0 agent who was responsible for broadcasting the scene of the Water 7 to Mary Geoise in real time, along with the projection Den Den Mushi in the other party's hand.
The latter fell into the sea before he even made a sound.
The CP0 agents who saw this scene felt a chill in their hearts. They instinctively took out the Den Den Mushi from their arms and prepared to report what was happening in front of them to Mary Geoise.
But before the Den Den Mushi was connected, they and the warship under their feet were swallowed by the surging lava.
Bang!
Akainu fell back onto the deck of the warship. He didn't say anything, but the marines around him already understood what he wanted to do.
"Admiral Akainu, we didn't see anything."
"No, we saw it. The members of the CP organization, along with the ship, were affected by Big Mom's attack and buried in the sea!"
A loud and high shout echoes on the sea.
Akainu had a blank expression on his face, but the emotions in his heart were like a pent-up volcano about to erupt.
Others have always said that he is the representative of the iron-blooded radicals within the Marines, but only T Bone knows that he has always been compromising.
Choosing the lesser of two evils is a compromise in itself!
But now… He doesn't want to endure it!
