"Come at me!"
Garp's extremely wild roar was like a thunderclap thrown into a calm lake, silencing the entire Marineford.
He's crazy!
This man is completely insane!
Alone, facing the Fleet Admiral and two Admirals, he still dared to utter such an arrogant provocation!
On Sengoku the Buddha's wise face, the last trace of friendship for his old comrade was completely replaced by cold resolve.
He took a deep breath, and there was no longer any hesitation in his eyes.
"Attack!"
With that command!
No extra words were needed.
Akainu, Aokiji, and Sengoku's figures intertwined in an instant, forming the most stable triangular formation with a tacit understanding practiced thousands of times!
Three distinct, yet equally terrifying, auras capable of crushing mountains, erupted!
Scalding magma!
Bone-chilling ice!
A will that lorded over the world!
At this moment, the three forces intertwined and merged, transforming into an invisible, inescapable net capable of strangling all strong individuals in the world, and pressed down heavily on the figure bathed in lightning in the center!
The first to strike was Akainu Sakazuki!
"Meteor Volcano!"
He raised his arms high, and countless giant magma fists burning with pitch-black flames, like a meteor shower from the apocalypse, obscured the sky, launching an indiscriminate, carpet bombing towards Garp's location!
Each magma fist was enough to instantly evaporate a warship!
At the same time!
"Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!"
Aokiji Kuzan extended one hand forward, and an extremely cold blast of freezing air condensed into a giant, lifelike ice bird, letting out a clear cry, dragging a long tail of ice crystals, and whistling to stab at Garp's back with an extremely tricky angle!
The sky rained magma, and the ground was a giant ice bird!
And amidst this pincer attack from heaven and earth, an invisible will-lock emanated from Sengoku, tightly enveloping Garp, intending to completely shackle his mind and actions!
This was a killing blow!
It was the Marine's highest combat power, a joint encirclement risking everything!
However...
Facing this terrifying killing formation that would make any of the Four Emperors change color...
The man smiled.
"BWAHAHAHAHA!"
Amidst the wild laughter, the blue-purple lightning on Garp's body erupted!
Crackling—!
Dazzling electric arcs danced wildly, and his figure, at this moment, transformed into a blue phantom that the naked eye could not capture!
Fast!
Extremely fast!
He moved at high speed through the impenetrable magma rain and in the trajectory of the whistling ice bird, in a manner that completely defied physical common sense!
Magma fists grazed his clothes and fell, exploding into huge magma craters on the ground!
The ice bird's sharp claws swept through his afterimages, bringing with them a chilling cold!
Not only did he dodge all of them, but he even had the leisure, in the blink of an eye, to throw a punch with ferocity!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Without touching any physical entity, merely the vacuum shockwaves generated by his fists precisely detonated several magma fists still in mid-air!
Violent energy exploded in the air, forming clusters of dazzling fireworks.
And Garp's figure, amidst this sky full of fireworks, strolled leisurely!
"Bastard!"
Akainu gnashed his teeth, magma dripping from the corners of his mouth, burning holes in the ice.
"Oh dear... really..." Aokiji's face, for the first time, showed a troublesome expression.
Garp's speed was too fast!
So fast that their proud Devil Fruit abilities simply couldn't effectively lock onto him!
"Don't let him disrupt our rhythm!"
At the critical moment, it was Sengoku, the strategist, who saw through Garp's movement pattern!
His resonant voice clearly rang in Akainu and Aokiji's ears!
"Sakazuki, attack! Use the largest possible area of attack to suppress his range of movement!"
"Kuzan! Abandon single-target attacks, focus on restriction! Use your ice to slow him down! Don't give him any chance to accelerate!"
In an instant, their cooperation became seamless!
"Understood!"
Akainu roared, no longer pursuing precise strikes, but instead spewing out more magma, transforming it into a true sea of magma, intending to completely engulf the entire execution platform ruins!
Aokiji also immediately changed his strategy; he pressed his hands to the ground, and bone-chilling cold air spread wildly, thick ice walls rose from the ground, and at the same time, the temperature in the air plummeted, countless tiny ice crystals condensed in the air, making Garp's every breath, every movement, greatly hindered!
For a time, Garp's speed advantage was greatly weakened!
"BWAHAHAHA! Now this is getting interesting!"
Garp laughed wildly; facing the overwhelming sea of magma, he no longer dodged!
"Great Eruption!"
Akainu seized the opportunity, and a magma giant fist, condensed to its extreme, came crashing head-on!
Garp met it with a punch of his own!
Boom!
Lightning and magma collided again!
But just as he was locked in a struggle with Akainu, dozens of sharp ice thorns, without warning, shot out from the ice beneath his feet, coiling around his legs like venomous snakes!
Crack!
Although the ice thorns, capable of freezing steel, shattered upon contact with the high temperature and electric arcs of the Lightning Release Armor...
This split-second of stagnation...
Became a fatal flaw!
"Now!"
Sengoku's figure appeared behind Garp like a ghost!
He had waited for this opportunity for too long!
There was no earth-shattering momentum, only an ordinary-looking golden palm, yet containing a terrifying shockwave, which solidly struck Garp's back!
Buzz—!
A terrifying force capable of shattering internal organs erupted!
"Pfft!"
Garp's body swayed violently, and he stumbled forward a few steps uncontrollably.
A trickle of blood slowly oozed from the corner of his mouth.
He was injured!
Under the combined assault of the Three Admirals and the Fleet Admiral, this monster was finally injured!
Marine soldiers, seeing this scene, erupted in cheers as if they had escaped a disaster!
However...
Far from showing any sign of dejection, Garp slowly straightened his body.
He stuck out his tongue, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the light in his eyes was brighter and crazier than ever before!
"BWAHAHAHAHA!"
He bared his teeth and let out a deafening wild laugh!
"Now this is more like it, Sengoku!"
"This is what makes this old man's blood boil!"
Crackling—!
The blue-purple lightning on his body, far from weakening due to his injury, instead became more violent and dazzling, like a raging fire fueled with more material!
An aura even more overbearing and tyrannical than before soared from his body!
"What?!"
Sengoku's pupils suddenly constricted.
But Akainu, seeing the blood at the corner of Garp's mouth, revealed an extremely cruel smile on his face.
In his opinion, this was merely a final burst of light from a spent force!
"This is the end, traitor!"
Akainu roared, slamming his hands to the ground; the swirling magma, under his control, transformed into two incomparably ferocious giant magma dog heads!
"Taste this move!"
"Dog Biting Crimson Lotus!"
Roar—!
The two giant magma hellhounds let out earth-shattering roars, carrying the will to incinerate everything, and fiercely bit at the recently injured Garp from both left and right directions!
They intended to completely tear apart this greatest disgrace to the Marine!
