Of the five warlords, only Mihawk and Doflamingo had yet to make a move.
"Fufufufu! Mihawk, aren't you going to make a move? Are you really just going to watch the show this time?"
Smiling, Doflamingo walked out with his hands in his pockets, taking wide strides. The intense battle had made him itch for a fight, and it was about time he got some action.
Mihawk remained silent, his gaze occasionally sweeping towards Renji. He was very much looking forward to what kind of surprises this young man could bring to this war.
"Even the giant Vice Admirals were taken out with a single slash? What kind of monster is this?!"
"This demon, it seems, will only be dealt with if the Admirals make a move."
"But they are busy dealing with Whitebeard, and the elite Vice Admirals are also intercepting the commanders. They can't spare anyone."
Countless Marine soldiers showed fear. The giant demon in front of them, so large that they couldn't even see its full form, was like a natural disaster to them, completely unstoppable.
However, they breathed a sigh of relief when they realized Little Oars Jr. hadn't turned his attention to them.
Little Oars Jr. looked towards a certain spot where a black-haired figure was cutting down ordinary pirates like a lawnmower, harvesting their lives wherever he went.
With a stomp of his foot, he headed towards Renji.
'System, add points for me.'
Looking at the numerous skills on the panel, Renji still decisively chose to prioritize upgrading the Innate Fighter skill.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully injecting 50,000 Bounty Points! Innate Fighter has been upgraded to Lv. 4!]
[Innate Fighter (Lv. 4): Perfectly combines and utilizes abilities not exceeding this skill level in combat. Gain a 75% bonus when using skills of the same level! Gain a 150% bonus for lower-level skills!]
Don't underestimate these bonuses. If the Purple released towards Whitebeard just now had this boost, the price Whitebeard would pay wouldn't have been just torn clothes and residual Cursed Energy on his arm.
Renji smiled with satisfaction and continued the upgrades.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully injecting 10,000 Bounty Points! Cleave has been upgraded to Lv. 3!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully injecting 5,000 Bounty Points! Martial Arts has been upgraded to Lv. 4!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully injecting 5,000 Bounty Points! Armament Haki has been upgraded to Lv. 4!]
[Bounty Points: 9,900]
Seeing his bounty points almost depleted and his recently fattened wallet quickly deflated Renji couldn't help but sigh.
The fruits of his hard work, obtained through so much effort, were they really so quick to spend?
His inner thoughts were unknown to outsiders. All they saw was his frenzied slaughter on the battlefield, almost single-handedly creating a gap in the Whitebeard Pirates' charging formation. No pirates in that area survived.
"Renji, this Marine rookie, is incredible. No wonder Fleet Admiral Sengoku promoted him so heavily. The gap in strength between him and us is immense."
Amidst the exclamations of the Marine soldiers, Yamakaji, who was fiercely battling the Whitebeard Pirates' Seventh Division Commander, had already sensed danger. His face was grim, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that a colossal figure was approaching Renji.
'That giant's target isn't Renji, is it? Damn it, how did I get entangled by Rakuyo?' Yamakaji looked annoyed, only able to pray in his heart.
Rakuyo wielded a giant chain hammer, each move wide-ranging and powerful, making him incredibly difficult to deal with. Even with Yamakaji giving his all, he couldn't do anything in a short time.
Rakuyo felt the same way. 'Why is this damn Vice Admiral so troublesome? My old man is waiting for me to rescue him.'
But soon, he noticed Yamakaji's gaze and saw Little Oars Jr. charging towards Renji.
Rakuyo sneered. "Want to save him? Wait until Little Oars Jr. chops him into mincemeat, then you can go collect his corpse."
On the execution platform, Ace watched Little Oars Jr. approaching, memories flashing through his mind.
If Little Oars Jr. were to face the now exhausted Renji...
Perhaps, it could work.
Sengoku's mind flashed with information about the giant, and he frowned. His power should not be underestimated.
Garp, who had been stationed in the rear, watched Little Oars Jr. and couldn't help but rub his fists.
"Hehe, a guy like that should be able to let me practice a few punches. Renji, how will you deal with him?"
Swish!
With another casual slash, completing a double kill, Renji's gaze retracted from Miguel, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"His growth is decent. I should start achieving my small goals for today too."
Miguel was now able to fight evenly with a pirate with a 40 million Berries bounty. Although he was injured, this was a necessary process to become a strong person.
Just then, a voice sounded from the sky.
"You're the one who hurt the old man? Before I rescue Ace, I'll take care of you, you bastard."
A giant shadow descended, plunging a large area around Renji into darkness.
"Renji, be careful!"
Amidst the warnings from the Marine soldiers, Renji calmly looked up. Little Oars Jr., holding a giant cutlass, had already brought it down halfway.
Renji smiled, his figure disappearing.
"I'll start with you."
Hancock, riding her python, swept away any obstacles, be they Marines or pirates, with her Perfume Femur, as she rapidly approached Renji. She then witnessed a scene that would forever be etched in her memory.
"Hee-hee... Why is that giant attacking that scoundrel Renji?"
At the same time, not far away, Moria let out a strange cry, his face a mix of surprise and delight. He was already calculating a wonderful future in his mind.
'If I can cooperate with him to kill or severely wound this scoundrel, and then steal his shadow to create the strongest zombie... Hee hee hee! I'll be the strongest warlord in the future.'
With that thought, he was about to manipulate shadows to gush out, preparing to ambush Renji.
However, in the next second, the joy on his face suddenly froze.
Cleave!
Buzz!
Dark red light exploded in the sky, and a large amount of blood sprayed from Little Oars Jr.' neck, pouring down like a real waterfall.
[Ding!...]
