John's face was flushed, his body swayed as he flew up, soaring hundreds of meters into the sky with a whoosh.
Looking at the warships and patrol boats surrounding him from all directions, he sneered and suddenly spread his arms.
"It's useless no matter how many small fry come! Don't you understand... the gap between us?!"
"Zzzzzz—"
Striking blue electric arcs bloomed in his hands, expanding outwards, instantly covering an area of a thousand meters.
Wherever the blue electric arcs passed,
on the pirate ship below, a large number of metal blocks, custom-made for John's ability and stored on the ship, whistled as they broke through the cabin and flew into the sky.
Not only that, on the sea nearby, from the wreckage of the warship that had been sunk due to the battle between Carlo and Zephyr, large pieces of iron plating, muzzles, screws, rivets, swords, guns, and other metals all flew up into the sky, gathering in front of John.
In an instant,
the clanging sounds of various metals and ironware colliding played out like a symphony above the sea.
Large amounts of metal continuously gathered in mid-air under the gaze of both friend and foe, rapidly twisting and deforming into strange-shaped components, which then clanged and combined under John's control.
Finally, to the ominous premonition of the rushing Marines, a square metal giant cannon, over twenty meters long, was constructed and floated in front of John.
In John's increasingly wild smile,
the muzzle of the metal giant cannon suddenly lit up with dazzling light!
"No! Fire at him quickly! Stop him!"
On a nearby warship, a Marine shouted anxiously.
But who could stop him?
The warship's cannons couldn't reach the enemy in the sky at all.
And even if the Marine generals on the warship could ascend using Moonwalk, they wouldn't be able to reach John in a short time.
The next moment,
accompanied by John's wild laughter and roar, a thick beam of light wrapped in blue and white electric arcs shot straight out from the violently shaking metal giant cannon, aimed at a charging warship.
"Super! Electromagnetic Cannon!!"
"Hum hum hum—!"
"Boom!!"
The dazzling beam of light instantly crossed hundreds of meters of sea, striking the warship beneath them in the horrified eyes of the Marines on board.
In an instant, the entire warship was pierced from bow to stern by a single shot!
The scorching plasma ignited the gunpowder magazine inside the warship.
The subsequent massive explosion engulfed the entire warship, turning it into a giant, burning fireball rising from the sea.
And this,
wasn't over yet!
John laughed wildly as he rotated his body, moving the floating metal giant cannon in front of him like a rotatable laser turret, sweeping across in a fan shape with that terrifying, penetrating beam of light.
In an instant,
another warship within range was cut in half by his Super Electromagnetic Cannon and exploded into a sky-high fireworks display!
And other nearby small patrol boats were instantly shattered into pieces.
"Hahahaha! Marines! If you want to live, hand over your treasures! Hahahahaha!"
John, in his frenzy, even wanted to plunder the surrounding Marines.
The terrifying destructive power of his Electromagnetic Cannon immediately made the aggressively approaching ships slam on their brakes, slowing down and even turning around to put distance between themselves and the pirate ship.
They dared not get too close, fearing another shot from John.
On the pirate ship, Ivankov's mouth dropped open in shock at the destruction and casualties caused by John's shot.
"Hee-haw! Uncle John! I didn't expect you to be so powerful?"
And Dragon, next to him, had already slumped to the ground.
Leaving aside the battle here, where John's solo outburst instantly reversed the Sky Pirates' predicament.
On a constantly shaking warship at the distant main battlefield.
"Ughhh!!! Carlo!!"
Zephyr's eyes were bloodshot and filled with blood, emitting a wild killing intent and rage as he recklessly punched Carlo in front of him, each blow aimed at Carlo's vital points.
At this moment, his moves were fierce and powerful, his techniques wide and open, each punch and kick carrying the explosive force to crush everything.
His black Armament Haki-clad arms were like two black iron rods, swirling into a black blur, continuously striking Carlo with the most direct and brutal force.
This showed,
the extent of his grief and anger over Jesman's death!
At this very moment, even his long-held justice of not killing had been cast aside.
In Zephyr's heart, there was only one thought left: to kill Carlo!
"Hahahaha, kahahahahaha!"
"That's right! This is the feeling! These are the punches! This is the black arm I want to see!"
Facing Zephyr's storm-like attack, Carlo met punch with punch, kick with kick, clashing directly with Zephyr's fists and feet.
"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"
Their fists collided like meteors above the warship, bursting apart chaotic air currents.
It was as if a hurricane had erupted on the warship; the continuously rising aftershocks of their exchange caused the entire warship to sway precariously, violently pitching and rolling on the sea.
"Rankyaku! Sever the Sea!"
Zephyr raised his right leg high, then brought it down in a kick, releasing a wide, tens of meters long slash that tore through the deck beneath him and shot straight towards Carlo.
Carlo punched out, and the golden Haoshoku lightning collapsed the void, blasting apart the Rankyaku slash from a distance.
"Soru! Shave Step!"
Zephyr's figure flickered, and he instantly appeared behind Carlo as if teleporting, punching towards the back of Carlo's head.
Carlo seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, striking backward with an elbow.
Dazzling golden lightning wrapped around his right elbow, colliding with Zephyr's fist, sending Zephyr flying dozens of meters away with an elbow strike, directly out of the warship's range.
But Zephyr merely stomped his foot, the air exploded, and his body instantly snapped back like lightning, his black right fist smashing towards Carlo's face.
"black arm! Meteor Blast!"
Carlo raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gripped Zephyr's incoming right fist, pulling it forcefully and smashing it downwards.
"Fist Bone! Deep Sea Drop!"
"Boom!"
Zephyr was violently smashed into the deck beneath Carlo's feet, shattering the thick warship deck.
Just as he was about to crash into the warship, he suddenly twisted his waist, his right foot kicking backward like a rocket launching, striking Carlo's chin.
With a loud bang, Carlo was kicked upwards, spitting out a string of blood.
Before Carlo could dispel his backward momentum, Zephyr, still holding Carlo's fist, seized the opportunity and swiftly brought his free left fist smashing towards Carlo's chest.
Carlo extended his left hand, again catching this punch.
But Zephyr's feet became a blur, like a rabbit kicking an eagle, both feet striking out simultaneously, kicking towards Carlo's chest.
Under the heavy kicks of his powerful Armament Haki-clad feet, Carlo's chest resounded with drum-like explosions.
Carlo was kicked down from the sky by Zephyr's fierce blow, crashing like a meteor into the center of the warship.
In an instant, the entire warship suddenly sank downwards.
The sea beneath the warship violently churned, sending out ripples of waves.
Before Carlo, who had been smashed into the ship's bottom, could get up.
Zephyr in the sky rotated 360 degrees, surprisingly stomping on the air upside down with both feet, and plunged straight down, moving as fast as thunder!
Both fists aimed directly at Carlo!
"black arm! Meteor Smash!"
At the bottom of the ship, on the warship's iron-hard keel, Carlo sprang up with a carp-like flip, his tall body suddenly shaking, as if activating something.
The next moment,
from the heavy dark clouds that had long gathered ten thousand meters above the warship, a lightning pillar that pierced the heavens suddenly struck down, engulfing Zephyr as he plunged straight down.
"One Billion Volts! Divine Judgment!!"
