Violent impacts, even those fighting on the ice and edges, both Navy and Pirates, didn't have time to despair, all were engulfed by the impact and the strong light.
After a brief daze, they opened their eyes again, only able to vaguely see a red-haired pirate standing before them, sword in hand.
The entire Marineford vanished without a trace, leaving only an edge, forming a hollow circle on the sea surface, where turbulent and overflowing seawater roamed.
At the edge, Sengoku held out one hand, clearly using his ability to resist the aftermath of the explosion.
Garp stretched out both arms, similarly using Haki to block, but the impact blew them far away, only barely able to protect the edge.
Fortunately, most of the Navy battling were on the edges chasing pirates, many were on the ice, amidst their conscious resistance, those affected by the shockwave weren't numerous.
Apart from them, the Navy's three Admirals, still-active Vice Admirals, and those Squad Captains from the Whitebeard Pirates, all used Haki to resist the impact, which kept some of Marineford intact.
Of course, Teach as well.
Teach stood on the other side, the air before his face shattered by his fist, using vibration to resist the explosion's aftermath, his companions around him weren't hurt but all looked solemn.
"Zehahahaha..."
Teach wiped the sweat from his forehead, laughed nervously, "So strong? Could this be the World Destroyer's More-More Fruit?"
Teach and Sage, at times, were opposites.
Sage came from O'hara, but was illiterate and uninterested in history.
Teach, on the other hand, was literate and had a great interest in history, often studying these things, and had read the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, knowing many Devil Fruit powers.
The sudden acceleration and amplification, could only be achieved by the once-active world's 'World Destroyer' Byrnndi World's power.
But...is it really that strong?
A mere cannonball was thrown!
In terms of destructive power, it's almost comparable to the Power of Vibration he obtained.
His power was ranked first in destruction!
Buggy was blown rolling over by the impact, so close to diving into the sea. His previous position luckily behind Kizaru, who used Haki to block the impact, yet Buggy was still blown dizzy.
As he fell, the Radio Snail slipped from his subordinate's hands, facing the ocean-turned Marineford, allowing those watching the broadcast to see the scene.
If Teach's ability instilled despair, then the destruction of Marineford left everyone speechless, stunned into silence.
The fortress symbolizing justice just vanished like that...
Boom!
From within the screen, dark clouds descended a Thunderbolt, splitting the sea, the gale sweeping, blowing everyone's hair and clothes, raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky, causing ripples in the water.
After being gloomy for long, the storm finally poured down its wrath.
Descending along with the storm, from the cloud layer, gradually falling was Sage.
At this moment, he was enveloped entirely in black flames, strikingly visible in the dark sky, like seeds of destruction, a black sun.
"Hahaha!"
Sage's legs twisted one before the other, arms spread from waist level, laughing heartily, "World! Witness my power! Hohoho!"
Shampodi.
The Disaster Pirates looked at Sage descending like falling from the sky, old crew members revealed faint smiles.
New members Urouge and Stansen were shocked.
"Can it be this powerful...it's like a calamity descending from the heavens, akin to a demon king," Urouge muttered.
"The stronger, the more advantage we have."
Hawkins drew a Tarot Card, saying, "This time, we've won."
...
Whoosh!
From the clouds, with a stomp, Sage descended, stepping lightly, moving as a shadow, appearing before Teach.
Even he needed to elevate slightly using Haki for coverage, to resist the spreading impact, lest he be blown away.
"Zehahaha, you're really something, Sage!"
Teach grinned widely, "Looks like our cooperation in the New World will be very pleasant!"
"Hohoho, you qualify, Teach, see you in the New World!" Sage laughed heartily.
"Sage!"
The Buddha of gold radiated furiously, rushing forward, a fierce impact in its palm, crashing down, "What have you done!!"
Bang!
Teach gave a grim smile, suddenly extended his fist, the Power of Vibration and the impact clashed again, causing this edge to crack and stones to fall continuously into the sea.
After the clash, Sengoku immediately withdrew his palm, took several steps back, his expression uncertain.
Sage then looked over, laughed, "Didn't I say? Destroy Marineford, you said the fortress can be rebuilt, the island's foundation still exists, chuck some stones together and it's done."
The amplified power was indeed immense, but Sage hadn't reached the point of destroying the entire sea foundation, just flattening the exposed island, rebuilding wasn't difficult.
But that mattered little to him, for his purpose was already achieved.
