"Ninja kid, is this the gift you're leaving for the Marines?"
Looking at the enormous Thunder Beast suspended in the air, Whitebeard subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
"Yes."
Meiser nodded and said, "I hope they like it~"
As his voice fell, the body of the Thunder Beast gradually emerged from the clouds, letting out another roar.
"Roar!!"
After glancing at the Thunder Beast, which was even more terrifying than before, Meiser murmured, "Very good, it has absorbed almost all the Thunder Power from within the clouds."
This way, its power would be even greater than before!
Just then, a booming sound came from the distance, and faint black and red streaks of lightning could be seen crackling.
"Hmm?"
"Conqueror's Haki?"
Looking at the Conqueror's Haki swirling around Garp, Meiser's eyes gradually grew excited.
He was eager to see if this legendary Marine Hero could block his S-rank Ninjutsu!
"Kid, don't be careless," Whitebeard said. "The attack power of Conqueror's Haki Infusion is very strong."
"I know," Meiser said.
He had taken a direct hit from Garp's Conqueror's Haki Infusion before, so he knew very well how terrifying that attack was.
But... his Lightning Release: Kirin was no pushover either!
With a cold laugh, Meiser mercilessly waved his arm, using the power of Lightning Release to pull the Thunder Beast down from the sky.
At the same time, Garp instantly vanished from his spot.
"Lightning Release: Kirin!!!"
"Bone Fist: Galaxy Impact!!!"
Facing the Thunder Beast that appeared before his face, Garp ruthlessly threw a punch!
Then, a terrifying force blasted from Garp's hand, directly striking the fearsome Thunder Beast!
The next moment...
"Crack!!"
"Rumble!!"
A terrifying roar echoed from the sky, as if two prehistoric beasts had collided!
"Crack, crack, crack!"
"Rumble!"
Countless black and red lightning bolts streaked through the atmosphere, knocking out one person after another whose willpower wasn't strong enough.
At the same time... terrifying bolts of Thunder Power rained down from the sky.
"Boom!!"
"Ah!!"
The Thunder Power mercilessly struck Marine after Marine, electrocuting them until they were charred black and collapsed to the ground.
It also blasted one large crater after another into the ground!
And this was merely the aftershock from the collision between Lightning Release: Kirin and Garp!
If they were hit head-on, they would be finished in an instant!
"Is... is this the apocalypse?!"
Watching the terrifying attack that lit up the entire sky, a Marine Commodore knelt powerlessly on the ground, his eyes filled with despair.
Even with their Vice Admiral Garp making a move, he couldn't completely block this Thunder Power—it was too terrifying!!!
Were they doomed?!
"It's over... we're finished..."
Glancing at their comrades who had been taken down not far away, the Marines' eyes filled with despair.
Then, the electrical power conducted through the rainwater struck them, and their eyes rolled back as they lost consciousness.
"Damn it..." Sengoku said with an ugly expression. "Of all times for it to rain..."
Although the crumbling ground had diverted most of the lightning's power underground, even the aftershocks were not something ordinary Marines could withstand!
Thinking of this, Sengoku shouted, "Garp!!"
Hearing Sengoku, Garp's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, 'I can't let this thing break apart, or the Thunder Power will definitely fall upon Marine Headquarters. The casualties will be even more horrifying then!'
With this in mind, Garp changed his attack's trajectory and roared, "Fly... away!!!"
"Voom—"
"Boom!!"
A terrifying force acted upon the Lightning Release: Kirin, knocking the massive beast off course, sending it hurtling toward the ice sheet behind the Marines!
Then, the force of the Conqueror's Haki impact continued unabated, directly shattering the cumulonimbus cloud in the sky.
"Boom!!!"
However, Garp paid no mind to this, instead staring intently at the Thunder Beast as it flew towards the sea.
The next moment...
"Crack!"
"Boom!!"
The instant it touched the ice, the terrifying Thunder Power erupted, shattering the vast expanse of sea that Aokiji had frozen!!
"Boom!!"
"Splash~"
Massive chunks of ice, carrying terrifying Thunder Power, fell into the seawater below, instantly striking the marine life.
These sea creatures were killed on the spot without even knowing what had happened!
"Are... are we saved?"
Watching the light in the sky gradually return to normal, the Marines said with fear, "Is that Thunder Beast gone?"
"It's... it's gone!"
"Great, we survived!"
"Oooh!!"
Realizing they wouldn't be killed by that damned Thunder Power, the Marines immediately cheered, feeling as if they had just survived a catastrophe.
Doflamingo, who had hidden in the back, stared gravely at Meiser standing beside Whitebeard and said, "What a terrifying guy."
The shock from that apocalyptic thunder was simply too immense for him.
'I wonder if my Devil Fruit Ability can block that move,' Doflamingo mused to himself.
Thinking of this, Doflamingo fell into deep thought.
"Phew... it's finally over," Sengoku said, letting out a long sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid that the Blood-Eyed Ninja's Lightning Release Technique would land, because... that would have killed a lot of people!
Fortunately, that guy Garp had managed to knock the opponent's Lightning Release Technique away!
"I didn't expect that move to be knocked away by the Marine Hero," Vista said.
Hearing Vista's words, Ace said, "Grandpa is indeed very powerful."
After all... he was the man who could chase that guy all over the world!
"I didn't expect this guy to be able to force Garp to use a powerful attack like Conqueror's Haki Infusion," King said. "It seems the power of the Blood-Eyed Ninja's move is even more terrifying than we saw."
As he spoke, King recalled the scene from just now.
Although only a few bolts of lightning had fallen, even so, it had still killed quite a few Marines!
If the whole thing had crashed down...
Even if it couldn't wipe out all the Marines below, it would have been enough to severely cripple the Marines!!
'It's a pity that move was knocked away by that old geezer Garp,' King thought with resignation.
"Conqueror's Haki Infusion, huh," Queen said with a frown. "No wonder the visual impact was so stunning just now."
The scene looked like the end of the world.
Countless black-red and blue-white lightning bolts surged and collided in the air, making the already dim sky frighteningly bright!
"That old man has Conqueror's Haki Infusion too?" Jack said in shock.
"Nonsense, why else do you think he could chase Pirate King Roger all over the world?" Queen said irritably.
If he didn't even have an ability like that, that old geezer Garp wouldn't be worthy of that title.
"Is that so."
Jack fell silent for a moment after speaking, then nodded. "That makes sense."
Just then, a colossal figure walked in from outside the gate, holding a huge gourd of sake.
"Hic—"
After letting out a burp, Kaido said, "You guys were just talking about Conqueror's Haki Infusion?"
Looking at the slightly drunk Kaido, a trace of helplessness appeared in Queen's eyes, and he nodded. "Yes, Brother Kaido."
"Just now, the Marine Hero Garp used a Conqueror's Haki Infusion attack to knock away the Blood-Eyed Ninja's Lightning Release attack."
After speaking, Queen vividly described what had just happened to Kaido, making Kaido's eyes begin to sparkle.
"I didn't expect this ninja kid to be able to use such a Ninjutsu," Kaido said.
He just wondered if his Lightning Release Technique could kill him...
Hmm, when he goes to recruit that guy, he'll have him try it out.
"Yes, Brother Kaido!" Queen grinned. "So we absolutely can't let this kid get away."
Once this kid becomes his subordinate, the strength of their Beasts Pirates will become even more powerful!
"Naturally," Kaido nodded. He had long had the idea of making this kid his subordinate; he just needed to wait for him to come to the New World.
"Brother Kaido, you don't need to hold back when you fight him."
"Hmm?"
Kaido, who was about to take a drink, paused upon hearing this, then asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Because this guy can't be killed!"
"Can't be killed?"
Kaido showed a look of interest and said, "How so?"
"It's like this..."
Queen briefly described the scene he had seen earlier, then said, "So this kid is basically unkillable."
"An undying body, huh..."
As if he had thought of something, Kaido suddenly burst out laughing.
"Wororororo~"
"Interesting, this is too interesting!"
At this moment, Kaido had a very strong urge to spar with this kid who had an undying body!
When the time comes, he'd like to see which of the two of them truly has an undying body!
Just then, Kaido noticed Whitebeard's condition in the broadcast and was stunned.
Then, he said in shock, "How did Whitebeard end up like this?"
"He was beaten by Akainu," Queen said. "He'll probably be dead soon."
Kaido fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then began to cry loudly, all the while shouting something about losing a rival.
Queen's eyelids twitched as he listened.
"Brother Kaido is really moody," Queen said with a twitch of his lips.
"He's like this when he's drunk," King said.
As the one who had been with Brother Kaido the longest, he was very familiar with Brother Kaido's habits.
Once he drank too much, he would alternate between crying and laughing. He was already used to it.
"That's true," Queen nodded helplessly. As for Jack?
This little brother had been sitting there primly and properly ever since Kaido appeared, not saying a single word.
After glancing at Jack, Queen shook his head.
Then, he turned his gaze to the Marine Hero Garp, thinking to himself, 'I just wonder if this old geezer will make a move on the Blood-Eyed Ninja.'
If he were to attack the Blood-Eyed Ninja, the dying Whitebeard might not be able to stop him.
But this kid has an undying body, so he should be able to make it to the New World alive.
Thinking of this, Queen relaxed and then stared silently at Meiser and Garp in the live broadcast, intending to see what would happen next.
Meanwhile, Garp in the broadcast was descending from the sky using Moonwalk.
Then, he stared at Meiser and said, "What a terrifying kid."
As the person who had faced this attack head-on, he knew very well how terrifying the power of this move was.
It could be said that if this move had landed... all Marines below the rank of Vice Admiral would have died!
"You're the most terrifying one, aren't you," Meiser said, his lips twitching.
Not only did he use a Conqueror's Haki Infusion attack to knock his Lightning Release: Kirin away, but he also conveniently dispersed the cumulonimbus cloud in the sky. This was too ridiculous!
Is Haki in this world so unreasonable?
Is Haki the only power that transcends all else?
Thinking of this, Meiser fell into deep thought.
Just then, Whitebeard suddenly burst out laughing.
"Gurarararara~"
"You're still as good as ever, Garp!"
To be able to use Conqueror's Haki Infusion of this level was enough to show how good Garp's condition was right now.
"You too," Garp said.
Although this guy Whitebeard hadn't shown his Conqueror's Haki from beginning to end, Garp had no intention of looking down on him.
After all... this guy was truly strong!
Whitebeard said nothing more to this, just nodded.
Just then, Meiser said, "It seems with you here, I won't be able to land my Lightning Release on this land."
"That's right!" Garp nodded. "This old man will not let you continue to act so wantonly!"
As he spoke, Garp even gave Meiser a meaningful look.
That look seemed to say: Kid, don't go too far. Hurry up and leave with Luffy and the others, or I'll have to make a move!
And at this moment, Whitebeard also said, "Ninja kid, it's time for you to leave."
Meiser fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded. "Then... take care!"
After speaking, Meiser unhesitatingly left Whitebeard's side and returned to the other side of the fissure.
Glancing at Kuma standing beside him, Meiser murmured, "Let's go, I'll get you out of here."
I hope I can find a way to cure Kuma, otherwise...
Sigh.
After shaking his head, Meiser started walking towards the pirate ship.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
A few nautical miles from Marine Headquarters, a pirate ship was currently floating on the sea.
"Captain, I can already see Marineford," Yasopp said from the crow's nest. "There are a lot of pirate ships there now!"
"The war isn't over yet..." Shanks said with a grave expression. "It seems we're just in time."
Although they were delayed for a while because of Kaido, they finally made it.
"Boss, there's no path ahead," the navigator said. "Do we need to disembark and proceed on foot?"
"No path?"
Hearing the navigator's words, Shanks was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "How can there be no path?"
"Because the sea is frozen."
Shanks: "..."
Walking to the side of the ship and looking at the sea ahead, Shanks was immediately rendered speechless.
Then, he murmured, "What was that Aokiji thinking, why would he freeze the sea to the side of Marine Headquarters?"
"Perhaps to hold back the Whitebeard Pirates," Ben Beckman guessed.
Once the sea was frozen, the Whitebeard Pirates' ships wouldn't be able to leave Marine Headquarters.
This way... the Marines could hunt down the Whitebeard Pirates to the last man!
"Then shouldn't he have frozen the front?" Yasopp said, jumping down from the crow's nest. "After all, the pirate ships are all at the front."
"That I don't know," Ben Beckman shook his head.
Who knew what that Marine Admiral was thinking.
"Boss, should we disembark and walk, or go around?"
"Go around?"
After a moment of silence, Shanks looked up and said, "No, we'll go straight through!"
"Are you planning to shatter the ice?"
"Yes."
"Hmm... although it will still waste some time, it's much better than going around," Ben Beckman nodded.
"That's what I was thinking!"
As his voice fell, Shanks drew the sword from his waist and then mercilessly swung it down!
"Swish—"
"Boom!!"
