On the ground, five Luo Chens stood, dispersed. They looked identical, like quintuplets.
This made the expressions of Aokiji, Kizaru, and Garp, who were facing them, extremely unnatural.
It was originally three-on-one.
Now, it had become three-on-six.
There was still one more Luo Chen on the head of the Thousand-Armed Martial God Giant.
"Once you three are defeated, Sengoku should finally give up, right?"
From a thousand meters in the sky, Luo Chen's ethereal voice drifted down.
Sengoku still believed Garp and the others could stop and defeat him.
It was simply wishful thinking.
After the previous series of exchanges, Aokiji was heavily wounded.
The wound on Kizaru's neck was held together only by a piece of ice.
The moment that ice shattered, Kizaru would also have to withdraw from the battlefield to treat his injuries, or he would lose too much blood and his combat strength would be affected.
It was impossible for the three of them to stop him now.
Especially now that Luo Chen had summoned five Wood Clones, for a total of six, including his main body.
"Luo Chen Six Paths, present," Luo Chen chuckled inwardly, then shouted, "Full-scale attack! Crush them!"
On the ground, the five Wood Clones charged out simultaneously.
Garp, perhaps believing he was the least injured, stood in front and threw a punch.
Luo Chen's main body, controlling the Susanoo, used "Divine Departure" with the giant sword.
The fist and sword collided, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
A Luo Chen clone looked at Garp, and ripples appeared in its black left eye.
Garp sensed the crisis and roared, wrapping his entire body in black Armament Haki to defend.
But it was clearly not enough to block the spatial distortion.
His entire blackened skin began to twist into a spiral, and droplets of blood seeped out from his pores and the cracks in his skin.
Kizaru tried to help, firing a laser at the Luo Chen clone that was using Kamui on Garp.
However, the laser was struck down midway by a wooden sword.
Two Wood Clones, one on the left and one on the right, charged Kizaru, holding wooden swords.
"What a broken ability," Kizaru lamented helplessly.
He was out of options now.
Luo Chen could see the future, capturing his every move. He couldn't do anything.
Facing two Luo Chen clones, he might even suffer a major loss.
"Kamui!"
One of the Wood Clones charging Kizaru used its right eye's Kamui.
The space around Kizaru began to distort.
His entire body dissolved into golden photons, attempting to flee.
However, he was bound by the spatial force, and his speed was much slower than usual. He couldn't escape instantly.
Taking this chance, the other Wood Clone closed in on Kizaru, its wooden sword wreathed in Conqueror's and Armament Haki.
"Divine Departure!"
Faced with this slash, Kizaru had no choice but to solidify.
He wrapped his body in Armament Haki, simultaneously resisting the spatial distortion and kicking out at the "Divine Departure" wooden sword.
"Swish—"
The wooden sword and the Luo Chen clone using "Divine Departure" passed through Kizaru's kick and his body like an illusion.
At that moment, Kizaru's expression changed dramatically. He never thought the phasing ability could be used like this.
Not just for passive defense, but it could also be activated at the moment of an attack's impact?
Behind him, the Luo Chen Wood Clone, without looking back, swung the wooden sword, wreathed in black and red lightning, horizontally across Kizaru's back.
Kizaru shot forward like a cannonball, flying nearly a hundred meters.
In mid-air, a large spray of blood and pieces of his yellow and white suit scattered.
The two Wood Clones that had besieged Kizaru disappeared in a swirl of distorted space.
Garp and Aokiji, seeing this, looked worried.
They didn't need to guess. The two clones had definitely gone to finish off Kizaru.
Of course, their own situation was just as dire.
Especially Aokiji's.
His left hand was already useless and couldn't be used in battle.
With only his right hand, he was no match for two Wood Clones.
"Ice Age!"
Aokiji unleashed the full power of his Ice-Ice Fruit. An extremely cold white mist spread around him.
The moisture in the atmosphere condensed into ice crystals, shining brightly in the sun.
A layer of frost formed on the two Luo Chen clones, and their movements became much slower.
One clone, almost without thinking, grabbed the other clone and threw it at Aokiji.
Aokiji's eyes narrowed. Two ice spears appeared beside him and shot toward the flying clone.
"Swish—"
The two ice spears passed right through the clone, as if it were a virtual projection.
The clone instantly appeared next to Aokiji, its wooden sword striking with "Divine Departure."
Aokiji, knowing he couldn't dodge in time, condensed layer after layer of ice around his body.
He encased himself in ice, attempting to defend.
The "Divine Departure" slash struck the ice.
"Kaka... k..." Cracks spread over the ice, and it then shattered into pieces.
The remaining power of the "Divine Departure" was also spent.
Just then, a flash of light appeared next to the clone. The other clone had arrived using the Flying Thunder God technique.
Another "Divine Departure" slashed toward Aokiji.
He could only raise his right fist and use "Ice Glove."
"Kamui!"
The first clone, the one that had been thrown, activated its left eye's Kamui.
The space around Aokiji's blue ice fist distorted.
The layers of ice vanished, as if consumed by space.
The Armament Haki on his fist also struggled to resist the spatial force. His skin twisted, tore, and began to bleed.
Before it even collided with "Divine Departure," Aokiji's "Ice Glove" had already disintegrated.
At the last second, Aokiji condensed an ice wall in front of himself.
The "Divine Departure" slash easily shattered the ice wall, finally striking Aokiji's body.
The black and red lightning from the Conqueror's Haki spread across Aokiji's chest, illuminating his pained face.
His white suit ripped, his flesh split open, and his bones were severed.
Aokiji's body flew backward.
The two Wood Clones simultaneously used Kamui and disappeared in a twisting spatial vortex.
Garp watched this, both worried and anxious.
He had just said that taking Luo Chen down wouldn't be difficult.
In the end, five clones had instantly defeated Aokiji and Kizaru.
And their injuries were extremely severe.
Especially Aokiji, who was probably out of the fight.
Garp desperately wanted to go help them.
But one of Luo Chen's clones, plus the thousand-meter Martial God Giant, had him completely pinned down.
"Garp, those two are down. You're the last one left."
From a thousand meters high, Luo Chen laughed.
Garp's expression was exceptionally ugly.
To be honest, even now, he believed that Luo Chen's frontal attack power wasn't that strong.
At least, not strong enough to overwhelm him, Aokiji, and Kizaru in a direct confrontation.
But his methods were too bizarre, his abilities too numerous, making it impossible to defend.
Even though they had gathered a lot of intel, they couldn't guard against everything in battle.
Suddenly, Luo Chen's thousand-meter Martial God Giant and the Wood Clone stopped their attacks.
Garp got a moment's rest, leaping back to create distance, remaining on high alert.
"Let me show them to you," Luo Chen's voice came from the sky.
At the feet of the Martial God Giant, several figures flashed into view.
It was the four Wood Clones that had chased down Aokiji and Kizaru.
Except, the four clones were now holding two blood-stained figures.
Admiral Aokiji.
And Admiral Kizaru.
They were both wearing Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs on their wrists. Their faces were deathly pale, without a trace of blood.
The sword wounds on Aokiji's chest and back were grotesque, and crimson blood flowed out unceasingly.
On Kizaru's half-severed neck, the ice had vanished, and blood was also pouring out.
