BOOM—
A massive explosion, like a super volcano erupting, resounded across the boundless ice plain.
Then the ice plain, which sealed dozens of nautical miles of the sea, suddenly began to tremble violently.
The deafening sound, as if exploding right next to their ears, and the intense earthquake that spread across the entire ice plain, attracted the attention of the other three battlefields.
Whether it was Kizaru and Nami (where he was like an uncle playing with his niece), or Hancock, Carina, and Aokiji who were fighting seriously, or the Buster Call and Yami Pirates where the battle was already decided—everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards Garp and Yami's battlefield.
"What... what is that?"
"Hey, hey... isn't that too exaggerated?"
"Is that Vice Admiral Garp's strength?"
"'Black Hole' Yami... can actually fight Vice Admiral Garp to that extent?"
"Hey, will the ice beneath us shatter?"
"..."
The Buster Call Marines looked as if they were seeing an unbelievable sight.
These Marine elites, who were first-class cannon fodder even in the New World, all cried out in disbelief.
Even the Headquarters Rear Admirals and Vice Admirals' pupils contracted, once again comprehending the gap between them and a super-powerhouse.
"To force Vice Admiral Garp to this extent... ooh, how scary,"
Kizaru lamented at this moment.
"It's only been a year... he's grown by a whole level," Aokiji said with a complex expression.
"Kyaa! As expected of Master, he's so cool!"
Hancock screamed, her hands cupping her face, her beautiful eyes turning into pink hearts.
On Garp and Yami's battlefield, the air for several miles around was completely distorted, as if in a gravity field.
This distorted airflow was divided into upper and lower parts, presenting different forms, and was colliding with each other.
Rewind to before the world-shaking explosion!
Yami used his strongest multi-hit attack. His hands continuously converted the bodily energy mobilized by Life Return into shockwaves and blasted them out.
These shockwaves were then multiplied by the Momo Momo no Mi, turning into giant, transparent white pillars of light.
These light pillars merged into one, forming a single transparent white pillar that reached from heaven to earth, its volume countless times greater than Nami's God's Judgment. It threatened to submerge the ant-like Garp, blasting him into the deep sea, an unknown number of meters below.
No, describing it with Nami's God's Judgment is giving God's Judgment too much credit.
Even the annual Knock-Up Stream at Jaya was not as frightening as the transparent white pillar Yami blasted out.
If someone who had seen the Knock-Up Stream was here, they would have no doubt that if Yami blasted this light pillar from 7,000 meters high, the transparent white pillar could absolutely connect the White Sea and the Blue Sea.
From this, one could see just how terrifying this pillar of light was.
If Yami's attack was the "Strongest Spear," then Garp's Fist Bone Impact: Meteor Shower was the "Strongest Shield."
Garp was seen throwing continuous punches, his Life Return perfectly fusing his consciousness and body. He mobilized his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki at full power, likewise blasting out shockwaves.
But unlike Yami's transparent white pillar, Garp's shockwaves formed a hemispherical, transparent white dome, like a shield, flickering with dark red lightning.
Just like a beam struggle in Dragon Ball, Yami and Garp continuously threw punches, constantly releasing bodily energy and Haki, strengthening their blasted shockwaves.
The Strongest Spear and the Strongest Shield were in a stalemate. The transparent white pillar pressed down, and the transparent white dome pushed up.
The distorted airflow had long since torn apart the ice plain.
"Ice Age!"
As if sensing Garp was about to be at a terrain disadvantage, Aokiji stomped his foot. A terrifying freezing power instantly reinforced the ice plain's defenses, giving Garp solid ground to stand on and allowing him to clash with Yami at full power.
But he didn't know, this move not only helped Garp, but also Yami.
Yami used his strongest multi-hit attack not to kill Garp, but to force Garp to go all-out and continuously use Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
After learning Garp's power-generation technique, Yami had found the true use of his "stealing" skill.
Unfortunately, because Garp only used Conqueror's Haki Infusion intermittently, Yami hadn't found that "energy pathway" before the Conqueror's Haki dissipated.
Now, in this full-power clash, Garp was continuously using Advanced Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki Infusion, finally allowing Yami to see that "energy pathway."
Thus, Yami continued to blast out shockwaves while imitating Garp's "energy pathway."
He failed time and time again, mobilizing Armament Haki as if it were Conqueror's Haki.
Finally...
Zzzzzzt... BOOM!!!
As the sound of converging electricity rang out, the massive explosion that shook the entire ice plain detonated again.
Dark red lightning first wreathed Yami's hands, then spread downwards towards the transparent white pillar of light.
Soon, the "Strongest Spear" also had the dark red lightning special effect added to it.
Immediately, the transparent white pillar and transparent white dome, which were clashing, were slowly separated by an invisible substance.
Finally, the dark red lightning swirling around the Strongest Spear and Strongest Shield grew more and more numerous, and thicker.
Unlike the grappling shockwaves, this dark red lightning did not repel each other. They moved closer, slowly fusing to form a single dark red pillar of light that shot into the sky.
In an instant, the overcast sky above the ice plain, which Carina had spent nearly half her stamina to create, was instantly blasted apart by an invisible force.
The heavily overcast sky instantly turned into a bright, clear day!
Witnessing this scene, Carina, Nami, and the members of the Buster Call and Yami Pirates were all dumbfounded, their faces filled with shock.
"Conqueror's Haki Infusion... he mastered such power at such a young age?"
Kizaru muttered to himself, no longer able to say his catchphrase.
"Not good!"
At this moment, Aokiji, who had been watching Garp's side, seemed to sense something, and his expression changed drastically.
The transparent white pillar of light, after being joined by that otherworldly power... the evenly matched clash was instantly decided.
Without any sound of shattering, the Strongest Spear directly crushed the invisible substance and the Strongest Shield. It instantly submerged Garp below, blasting a super-massive hole through the ice plain, which had been frozen to an unknown depth.
Garp, enveloped in the pillar of light, had his eyes roll back in just an instant. He spat blood, then vanished from the ice plain, blasted by the light pillar into the deep sea, an unknown number of meters below. Life or death unknown..
