Kachachacha...
The hurricane formed from the shockwaves of Fist Bone Impact and King's Punch ravaged the boundless ice plain, causing the white land to emit sounds of unbearable cracking.
Blue seawater quickly filled these ice cracks, large and small.
Before long, the ice plain where the ten warships were located turned back into the sea.
"Hey, hey... seriously? It hasn't been that long, how did your strength become so exaggerated?"
Looking at Yami, who easily blocked Garp's punch and prevented the hurricane from ravaging the sky, Aokiji, who had fought him last year, couldn't help but say in disbelief.
Around this time last year, Aokiji fought Yami at Thriller Bark. Aside from needing to be wary of Yami's Black Hole and Dark Vortex, he held the advantage the entire time.
In the end, if it weren't for Yami's move called that Planetary Devastation Black Sun, whose power was simply too absurd, Aokiji would have had a complete victory.
But in the end, in just one year, Yami's strength had soared by a whole level.
"It's normal. He is, after all, an unprecedented multi-Devil Fruit user."
Kizaru, on the other hand, was not surprised. "Whether it's the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit or the Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox form, both can easily change a person's potential, turning an ordinary person into a powerhouse who roams the seas."
"He can even casually bestow two such precious Devil Fruits on his maids, which proves he has even stronger and top-tier Devil Fruits."
"According to the theory proposed by Vegapunk, everyone is born with a complete set of Lineage Factors. Once they eat a Devil Fruit, their own Lineage Factors recombine, changing from ordinary to powerful."
"With just his known fruit abilities, he has already recombined his Lineage Factors several times. His potential is definitely the most terrifying on this sea."
"Didn't you see Their Excellencies, the Gorosei, aren't even counting on me to arrest or kill him? The goal is to destroy the Golden City and Amazon Lily to restore the World Government's prestige."
Hearing this, Aokiji felt slightly relieved.
"Hahaha... The King's Punch from the Prodence Kingdom?"
His figure landed back on the warship. Garp looked up at Yami in the sky; he saw the principle of the move at a glance and laughed loudly: "To be able to unleash such power without charging... it looks like a lightweight King's Punch. That guy Byrnndi World's fruit ability is really being used in creative ways by this kid."
"As expected of the Marine Hero, truly knowledgeable."
Yami's mouth lifted slightly. He then glanced at the ten warships below and chuckled: "I accept this fight. I'll be waiting for you on the battlefield up ahead."
"But this kind of war isn't for everyone. So... weaklings, retreat!"
Boom—
As Yami spoke, his pupils shrank slightly.
Then, an invisible shockwave, different from a physical impact, burst from his body.
A black dome of light expanded from Yami's body, enveloping the ten warships below in an instant.
Thud thud thud thud thud...
The thousands of soldiers inside the black dome... the vast majority of them had their eyes roll back, fainting as if hit by a muffled club.
When the black dome disappeared, the only soldiers who remained conscious were a few hundred.
Among these few hundred, some were only barely conscious and couldn't completely ignore the Conqueror's Haki spiritual shock.
"To think so many remained conscious. As expected of a Buster Call."
Yami said in an appreciative, yet mocking tone, then his figure vanished.
"Hahaha... What powerful Conqueror's Haki. It's rare for it to even make my blood boil."
Garp laughed heartily again.
Even though so many on his side were knocked out, Garp wasn't angry at all. Instead, he was full of admiration for Yami.
Just as Yami said, the following battle wasn't something these soldiers could participate in, even if they were elites in the Marines.
If they really fought, even Garp wasn't confident he could save these weak soldiers from Yami and his crew.
So Yami knocking them out was not only a powerful foe's mercy on the weak, but it also unshackled Garp and the others.
Without having to look after the weak soldiers, they could unleash their full combat power.
Thus, Garp said to Aokiji and Kizaru: "I'm going on ahead. You two organize the others."
After speaking, Garp used Soru and Moon Walk, turning into an afterimage and flying rapidly towards the ice plain ahead.
"Alright. Sergeant rank and below, remain on standby. All others who are still conscious, with me."
Aokiji used Ice Age again, turning the surrounding sea into an ice plain, and then issued the Admiral's command.
Before long, the warship carrying Aokiji and Kizaru, loaded with the elite of the elite Marines who remained conscious, continued forward using its paddle wheels.
The other nine warships remained on standby.
The scene shifts to the ice plain where Carina and the other two women are.
The originally clear sky had become oppressively dark. Countless electric snakes writhed within the dark clouds, occasionally rearing their heads to stare at the ice plain below, as if about to strike at any second.
"It cost me almost half my stamina, but it's finally done."
Spitting out the last thundercloud bubble, Carina reverted from her full Beast form to her Tamamo-no-Mae form. Looking at her masterpiece in the sky, she smiled: "A thundercloud of this size, even I can't shake it in the slightest with my full-power Storm force. It's enough for the little thief cat to fight to her heart's content."
"Heehee... With the help of natural lightning, that uncle won't be able to just casually dissipate my moves," Nami said, her face full of fighting spirit.
As everyone knows, the voltage of natural lightning is at least 100 million volts, reaching as high as one billion.
Nami's and Enel's lightning voltage currently only reaches a maximum of 200 million volts.
Creating higher voltage requires more stamina.
Now with Carina's thundercloud's help, Nami, just like when fighting on Raijin Island or in a thunderstorm, can not only easily create lightning over 200 million volts, but the stamina cost will be pitifully low. It's an epic-level buff.
This is why Nami was so confident, and why she told Kizaru she would get serious.
With Carina's support, this is her true full-power mode..
