"This...The power of that slash is just too immense!"
"He actually cut off that giant's head with a single strike."
"I didn't expect Captain Renji's swordsmanship to be so strong. No wonder he could fight Flower Sword Vista to a standstill."
Under the astonished gaze of countless Marine soldiers, Little Oars Jr.'s head flew high, his expression still maintaining the arrogance he had when swinging his blade.
"Oars!"
"Oars was beheaded with one strike?"
A large amount of blood splattered on the pirates' faces.
Renji's figure hovered high in the sky, his pair of azure eyes coldly watching the pirates below.
In the pirates' eyes, Renji had now become an invincible God of Slaughter.
Let alone ordinary pirate crew members, even the minor leaders with bounties approaching eighty million Berries had trembling legs after seeing this. Their psychological defenses were close to collapsing.
"Still daring to look around!"
With an angry shout, Miguel seized the opportunity, taking advantage of a pirate's distraction to end him with a single strike.
Thanks to the immense fear Renji brought to the Whitebeard Pirates, Miguel finally had a moment to catch his breath.
"Boss is so strong!"
Similar scenes unfolded across the battlefield. Because Renji instantly killed Little Oars Jr. with overwhelming force, the pirates' fighting spirit diminished even further.
At this moment on the battlefield, Marine was gradually gaining the upper hand.
"You're the ones who should be collecting bodies."
Yamakaji blocked Rakuyo's hammer with a vibrating sword, the latter's face turning extremely grim due to Little Oars Jr.'s demise.
"Very good. Now I can focus on you." Yamakaji's expression was cold, his Haki beginning to overflow as if it were worthless.
The other Vice Admirals also seized the moment of their opponents' mental shock to launch fierce attacks.
For a time, the situation was excellent for the Marine side.
"Hahahaha! Renji, good lad! Even I think that slash was pretty cool." Garp waved his fists, a smile finally appearing on his face.
"Ace and Luffy are both so troublesome, but Renji, you will definitely become the most outstanding Marine."
Garp had made up his mind that he would certainly protect Renji's smooth growth within Marine.

"You bastard! You actually... Oars... Don't let me catch you, or I'll grind you to dust."
On the execution platform, Ace gritted his teeth in hatred, his eyes fixed on Renji. If looks could kill, Renji would have been killed countless times already.
Sengoku, who had been observing the entire field, was both surprised and delighted by the changes on the battlefield caused by Renji.
"One-shotting a super giant... The power of that slash was amazing. His swordsmanship seems to have improved even further since that meeting. How many more surprises can this kid bring to me?"
On the ice, with a resounding "Thud!", the enormous head fell. It created deep indentations in the ice.
"Heh! This bastard actually beheaded my strongest zombie."
Moria's eyes instantly became bloodshot, but when he turned his angry gaze towards Renji, the cold glint of Kurai's blade pulled him back to reality.
"How did his swordsmanship become so terrifying? If I had been hit by such a slash that day..."
Moria couldn't help but recall the meeting that day. The wound on his arm began to throb faintly, his eyes filled with fear and trepidation.
"Forget it, I'll magnanimously spare his life. Even though he was beheaded, with Hogback around, he can still be patched up and used..."
—
"Fufufufu! Chopping off that giant's head with one strike, this is getting more and more interesting."
Doflamingo walked with his hands in his pockets, naturally attracting the attention of many pirates. But anyone who tried to approach him, without exception, began to inexplicably fight each other.
The unique development of the String-String Fruit allowed Doflamingo to possess extremely strong command abilities even on such a battlefield.
"It's good that such a guy isn't an opponent, otherwise he would be a headache."
Doflamingo withdrew his gaze from Renji and sought out a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Play a boring pirate game with me for a bit."
—
Mihawk stood with his arms crossed, an undisguised admiration in his eyes for Renji. That slash just now, even a top-tier great swordsman couldn't easily execute it.
Renji's progress speed far exceeded his imagination. He believed that soon, besides Shanks, he would have another opponent capable of matching him.
As he recalled Renji's words to him, his anticipation grew stronger.
"I'll be waiting for you on the throne of the World's Strongest."

"Such a slash..." Hancock's eyes became extremely gloomy.
Renji's recent slash that instantly killed Oars...
She had seen Rayleigh use it in a similar way.
"No matter what, anyone who dares to lay a hand on my beloved Luffy must pay the price."
Seeing Hancock petrifying Marines and pirates indiscriminately, a Marine soldier angrily shouted at her, "You damn woman! Aren't you a warlord? Why are you attacking us Marines?!"
However, Hancock paid no heed, petrifying another Marine soldier with a kick. She raised her head to the sky, looking down on everyone with her magnificent 'truth'.
"No matter what actions I take, I will be forgiven, because my beauty is unrivaled in the world."
"Damn it! Since the person is already dead, I can only forgive you."
"Yes. After all, what else can be done once it's done, besides forgiving?"
The Marine soldiers all disarmed. Seeing this, Hancock felt even more disdain for men.
"A bunch of rabble, only Luffy is special."
"Although this Renji is extremely dangerous, even if I am no match for him, he will certainly not do anything to me, and will eventually be conquered by my beauty."
Hancock was extremely confident, and after many years, this had indeed been the case. No one would attack her after she showed kindness.
This was also the reason for her certainty.
[Ding! Congratulations for killing Little Oars Jr.! You have gained 44,400 Bounty Points!]
With the bonus of Lv. 4 Innate Fighter, Lv. 3 Cleave, stacked with Lv. 4 Armament Haki, even if it couldn't perfectly combine with Lv. 5 swordsmanship, cutting off Oars's head was still quite easy.
"Very good, I must say, apart from one of the Four Emperors, it's probably hard for anyone to gather so many pirates with bounties over a hundred million Berries."
Renji slowly landed back on the ground, his gaze sweeping over the Whitebeard Pirates' captains one by one.
At this moment, in Renji's eyes, they were no longer notorious pirates, but rather moving, enormous treasure vaults.
He felt a surge of pleasure, even a bit restless, wanting to harvest the bounty points of these people ahead of time.
"I'll save the ultimate move for Whitebeard. If he's prepared, it won't be easy to succeed."
Comparing 5.046 billion Berries with these bounties of a few hundred million, Renji knew what was more important.
"Bold and disrespectful person! Take a kick from me!"
"Perfume Femur!"
