"Great Buddha Shockwave!"
"Axe Blade: Thunderfall Ravine!"
The two energies collided, instantly unleashing a terrifying energy storm across the sea. The storm roared outwards, spreading like an invisible gale that transformed into blade-like sword energy, evenly slicing the sea surface within a one-kilometer radius into dozens of pieces!
Two large ships chased each other, one after the other, biting at each other's heels.
Silver Axe landed on the deck, a savage grin on his face, the dark light of his great axe's blade flowing, reflecting Silver Axe's confident and arrogant face.
Kaido kicked a Marine Vice Admiral flying, his hair falling across his forehead, looking somewhat disheveled. He panted heavily, looking at Silver Axe, and sneered, "Silver Axe, are you alright?"
Silver Axe snorted, tearing off his armor to reveal a muscular, bronze-colored physique. The prominent tattoo beneath his left chest seemed to come alive.
"Mind your own business, Kaido!"
Silver Axe casually grabbed a Marine Vice Admiral by the neck, lifted him, and slammed him onto the deck with a bang, raising a cloud of dust!
Gan Zhui and Zephyr exchanged dozens of punches, their fists aching slightly. Looking at Zephyr on the warship, who was still in close pursuit, Gan Zhui couldn't help but say, "As expected of Black Arm Zephyr!"
Zephyr's Haki flowed from his fists like steaming, misty hot air, slightly distorting the surrounding atmosphere.
Silver Axe and his main officers broke through the encirclement. The Marine suffered nearly half casualties. Sengoku, Zephyr, and Tsuru, leading several Marine Vice Admirals, pursued them. The battle was fierce.
Zephyr said coldly, "Scum of the sea, your doomsday has arrived. Surrender now! You cannot fight against the Marine!"
"Hounds of the World Government, if you have the guts, then catch up!"
Silver Axe sneered disdainfully, acting as if trash talk was something anyone could do.
Seeing the enemy's ship getting further and further away, Sengoku's expression became grim. During a recent battle, Silver Axe had torn a large gash in the warship's hull.
If it weren't for the shipwrights on the warship repairing it in time, the warship would have likely been filled with seawater long ago.
If these pirates were to escape from the Marine's hands, the Marine's prestige would definitely take a huge hit!
Silver Axe's moves were powerful and heavy, and he was skilled in using Haki, truly worthy of being Golden Lion Shiki's greatest rival in his early years.
Kaido's swordsmanship was superb, and his moves were insidious and vicious. If one was not careful, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Gan Zhui's offense and defense were well-balanced; he was skilled in both boxing and using a greatsword and shield.
Each of these three was a great pirate with a bounty exceeding one billion Berries on the sea.
Faintly discerning an island dozens of nautical miles away, Sengoku's mind raced. He immediately contacted the Marine warships stationed in the nearby waters via Den Den Mushi.
This was a pre-designed plan: in case the enemy escaped, the forces of nearby Marine branch bases would be mobilized to encircle and drive out the pirates.
However, before he could contact the nearby Marine branch base, the Den Den Mushi suddenly rang: "Purupurupuru—"
The Den Den Mushi ringing at such a tense moment on the battlefield gave rise to a bad premonition. Sengoku frowned, suddenly feeling uneasy.
"Admiral Sengoku, Kaido has appeared! Kaido of the Beasts is heading your way!"
"What?!"
Hearing the voice from the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku's face changed drastically.
His face was ashen, veins bulging on the back of his hands, and his teeth ground together audibly.
"What's wrong, Sengoku?" Tsuru asked.
"That Kaido guy... is coming!"
As if to confirm Sengoku's words, a black line suddenly appeared on the horizon behind the warship. The black line continuously expanded and enlarged, transforming into a dark cloud several dozen miles wide in the blink of an eye.
The dark clouds twisted into a black ocean, with lightning constantly spewing outwards from its center. Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, a massive figure hidden within the black clouds could vaguely be glimpsed!
Whoosh!
A cold wind swept over, stinging their faces slightly.
Sengoku and Zephyr simultaneously noticed that some change seemed to have occurred on the ocean... He frowned, quickly walked to the side of the ship, as the seawater angrily slapped against the hull.
In the extremely far distance, beneath the black cloud sea, a black line, vaguely higher than the sea surface, came into view.
And it was gradually rising and growing larger as the electromagnetic storm approached, forming a terrifying tsunami!
"Hey, hey! What kind of joke is this?!"
Sengoku cried out in alarm, his composure completely gone. He quickly shouted, "Everyone grab hold of the railings! Zephyr, come with me, let's stop this tsunami!"
Golden light surged, and Sengoku once again transformed into a Great Buddha, forming a Dhyana Mudra, as energy shockwaves converged.
Zephyr's fists were instantly covered in Haki with a whoosh, like flickering dark flames. He frowned, staring at the colossal tsunami, nearly a hundred meters high, bearing down on them!
He and Sengoku acted simultaneously!
"Great Buddha Samadhi Shockwave!"
Zephyr, on the other hand, released a massive amount of Haki, forming a huge barrier, cold sweat beading on his forehead!
Boom!
The tsunami crashed down with an earth-shattering roar, making the Marine's eardrums buzz!
The mere impact caused the entire warship to shake violently, and it began to tilt slightly!
But to the Marine's astonishment, Admiral Sengoku and Admiral Zephyr, acting simultaneously, actually managed to block the tens of millions of tons of tsunami bearing down on them!
The seawater was blocked by an invisible energy and flowed eerily to both sides!
But the warship still surged far ahead with the current... Bang!
The warship seemed to have hit something, gently bumping and shaking.
The Marine, still shaken, looked back and saw that the warship and the pirate's large ship had collided, carried by the current to the coast of an island.
And it didn't stop at all...!
The two large ships, with their inertia, powerfully crushed the coastal dock!
The stone-built breakwater shattered like a pile of sand, and the buildings and shops, like paper, had no resistance whatsoever against the two behemoths, turning into dust!
The two warships forcefully crashed into the town.
Two prominent, scorched ravines were deeply imprinted on the ground. The town, which should have enjoyed peace and tranquility, faced this unprovoked disaster, and people fled in panic.
Sengoku's face was extremely grim. There were faint traces of bloodstains amidst the crushed stones and wood splinters in the ravines. He didn't need to think hard to know what those bloodstains meant.
The Marine, still reeling from shock, looked at the fleeing pedestrians all over the street, some not yet fully comprehending.
"Damn it!"
Gan Zhui, who had been swept into a building in the town, pushed away the stones pressing on him, brushed off the dust and debris from his head, his face gloomy.
Silver Axe and Kaido jumped off the large ship, looking at the scorched ravines they had created, which extended at least seven or eight hundred meters from the coastal dock.
This grounding was a bit exaggerated, wasn't it?
Silver Axe said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, it seems there's only one path before us: defeat the Marine... and!"
He looked up at the swirling black vortex in the sky, a dark cloud pillar falling straight down.
"That brat Kaido!"
