Simultaneously activating two types of Sword Intent meant that Nox's swordsmanship power would double, causing his combat strength to instantly surge!
Now, with the breakthrough in Nox's Sword Intent, his attack power had completely transformed. The Overlay and fusion of Sword Intent made Nox's sword no longer fear Garp's fists!
"Damn it, he's using my fists as a whetstone!"
Seeing the obvious changes in Nox, even Garp, who didn't understand swordsmanship, could clearly see it.
Under the pressure of his fists, Nox's sword road had broken through to a higher level. He was Nox's whetstone!
"Hahaha, Garp, let me show you the swordsmanship I've honed with your fists!"
Nox laughed excitedly. Bloodlust Sword Intent and Limitless Sword Intent, the dual Sword Intents, simultaneously converged on the Seven Star Sword.
Making the already eerie Seven Star Sword appear even more extraordinary.
Even someone with weaker willpower, upon seeing the Seven Star Sword, would likely suffer mental damage from the Sword Intent it exuded.
After the perfect combination of Limitless Sword Intent and Bloodlust Sword Intent, it transformed into a blood-colored giant dragon soaring through the sky as it circulated.
"Limitless Bloodlust: Blood Dragon Sky Severing Slash!"
A blood dragon coiled around the Seven Star Sword, as if the entire sword body was the embodiment of the giant dragon. Busoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki were perfectly integrated into the blood dragon.
As the Seven Star Sword slashed down, the blood dragon roared and charged out. Busoshoku Haki became its hard scales, Haoshoku Haki became its dragon claws and teeth, and the two Sword Intents were the blood dragon's body.
"Bone Fist: Galaxy Impact!"
Regardless of the enemy, Garp only had a pair of iron fists. Those fists, tempered to be indestructible, were his most powerful weapon!
"Bang!!!"
As Garp unleashed a punch, the surrounding ground instantly trembled, and endless aftershocks surged out from the collision.
The aftershocks this time were much more intense than before. Dust rose like dragons, the ground ripped apart, and shattered Rocks flew everywhere.
Compared to before, Garp felt a powerful force coming from his fist. Even with his iron fist, he could feel waves of intense pain coming from it.
One must know that his fists had been continuously tempered by his top-tier Busoshoku Haki, simultaneously tempering the bones, skin, muscles, and meridians.
Since his Busoshoku Haki reached the top level, only Rocks, Roger, and Whitebeard had made his fists feel such intense pain.
No one else had this ability, not even the current Golden Lion, who was a step behind in this regard.
"Garp!!!"
Nox roared, and the blood-red lightning and the two types of Sword Intent surged up. The power on the Seven Star Sword once again skyrocketed.
"Nox!!!"
Garp was equally enraged. His entire body's strength and Busoshoku Haki once again exploded. Both sides were fighting with all their might.
"Rumble!!!"
Accompanied by a huge roar, the thin barrier between the sword and the fist was suddenly broken, and the power of both sides exploded.
Both Nox and Garp were sent flying by this explosive force.
Even with Garp's physique, he was sent flying by the explosive aftershocks, his blood surging and his entire body aching.
Nox was no exception. His physique was not yet as strong as Garp's, causing his physical injuries to be heavier than Garp's.
However, Nox's recovery ability was strong, and this kind of injury would quickly heal for him.
"Hahaha, Garp, your fists aren't hard enough!"
Nox laughed heartily as he looked at the obvious sword mark on Garp's fist. Although it wasn't deep, his iron fist had indeed been broken through.
"Just a minor injury!"
Garp snorted coldly. Under the surge of Busoshoku Haki, he expelled the two types of Sword Intent from the wound. With Life Return, the wound quickly healed.
However, at this moment, Garp's expression became solemn.
This guy had suddenly become so much stronger during their fight.
Before, Nox couldn't even take his punches, but now he could directly break through his iron fist with powerful Sword Intent.
This kind of leapfrog improvement astonished Garp. He had never seen anyone improve so quickly.
He wouldn't say anything if it were Devil Fruit users; Devil Fruits improve strength quickly.
But Nox was not a Devil Fruit user; he was a Grand Swordmaster like Roger.
He had fought Roger so many times, but he had never seen Roger make such a significant improvement all of a sudden.
Of course, this was also because Garp didn't understand the sword road. If he knew that with his help,
Nox had broken the iron rule of the World's Grand Swordmaster, he didn't know what he would think.
"Hahahaha, Garp, come again! I want to completely sever your so-called iron fist!"
Nox frantically activated his two great Sword Intents and charged towards Garp again.
Although he had successfully combined the two great Sword Intents, there were still many sword techniques to experiment with and improve to perfectly unleash the power of the two great Sword Intents.
Garp, who was at the same level as him, was the perfect training target.
"Hmph, watch me smash your sword!"
Garp was not to be outdone and fought Nox again.
Nox was using Garp as a whetstone, so how could Garp not have the same idea?
Since Nox's sword could break through his iron fist, if his iron fist could become harder through being constantly broken through, then this was also a way for him to become stronger.
In the past, when he fought Roger, he was also using Roger's sword to temper his iron fist, which made his iron fist harder and stronger.
It could only be said that not only was Nox making progress, but others were also constantly becoming stronger in their own ways.
Nox and the other three had been surrounding and attacking Garp and the other two for over two days.
Zephyr, surrounded by John and World, was gradually showing signs of fatigue. In just two more days, they were confident they could kill Zephyr.
But at this moment, a huge winged wind dragon appeared above Sokaab Island. Another person was standing on the winged wind dragon.
These two were the two CP0 Deputy Chiefs who had come to support Sengoku and the others.
"World Government dogs!"
John looked at the two masked figures in the sky with disgust.
These two had fought him before, and he knew their strength.
With the arrival of these two, it meant that the operation to surround and kill the Admiral had failed.
"Gyahahahaha, it seems our plan has failed. Sengoku, you are lucky. Next time, you won't be so lucky."
Golden Lion laughed heartily, forcing Sengoku back, then quickly retreated, not giving the two in the sky a chance to surround him.
"Garp, I'll experience your fists again next time!"
After Nox's Kenbunshoku Haki sensed the arrival of the World Government's support, he also forced Garp back with a sword and quickly retreated, gathering with the others.
"How unlucky. I should have destroyed those few warships earlier."
John and World also retreated, having no intention of continuing the siege.
They both knew that the loophole in this plan was the Marines on those warships earlier.
World's plan was full of loopholes, and there was nothing they could do when the Marines cracked it.
If Nox had planned it himself, it would definitely not have been so simple. At the very least, he would have completely cut off the enemy's connection with the outside world before taking action.
Otherwise, who knew what other support the enemy might receive later.
Sengoku and the other two watched Nox and the others leave and did not pursue them, because they also knew that they were not enough to keep Nox and the others.
Continuing the fight would also be very dangerous for them, because this was the New World, not the Four Seas.
"Zephyr, are you alright!"
Sengoku quickly went to Zephyr's side and asked.
After all, Zephyr was the one being surrounded.
"I'm fine, these injuries are nothing."
Zephyr shook his head and said. The main thing was that his stamina was severely depleted. As long as his Busoshoku Haki was still there, he wouldn't suffer too much damage.
"Let's go quickly, it's not safe here."
Garp said.
"This cooperation was very pleasant. If the Marines come looking for trouble again because we attacked the World Government member states, this alliance is still valid!"
Nox said cheerfully.
This time, because of Garp, he had broken the world's iron rule and completed the fusion of two types of Sword Intent, greatly increasing his strength. He was in a very good mood.
"Gyahahahaha, Nox, can you use two types of Sword Intent at the same time?"
Compared to other things, Golden Lion Shiki wanted to confirm if what he had sensed earlier was true.
"Hahahaha, thanks to that guy Garp's fists, I was able to break through this step!"
There was nothing to hide about this. Nox openly admitted it.
At the same time, on the Seven Star Sword, Bloodlust Sword Intent and Limitless Sword Intent condensed and transformed into a blood-colored giant dragon coiling around the sword body.
"Gyahahahaha, Nox, I didn't expect you to actually succeed. You said you wanted to become the World's Greatest Swordsman. Today, I, Shiki, admit that you are qualified to become the World's Greatest Swordsman!"
Looking at the two types of Sword Intent on Nox's sword, Shiki was filled with emotion.
He himself was also a Grand Swordmaster, so how could he not know how difficult it was to use two types of Sword Intent at the same time.
He had tried it himself back then, but he didn't succeed, and in the end, he gave up on this path.
He didn't expect Nox to actually succeed.
"Yohohoho, Nox, if you want to become the World's Greatest Swordsman, you have to see if the other Great Swordsmen agree."
John said with a smile. Although he also used a sword, he was not a Grand Swordmaster, but merely a Sword Master.
"I don't need their agreement. As long as I defeat them, they can't disagree even if they want to."
Nox said confidently.
"Hahahaha, I'm also looking forward to that day!"
World laughed.
Although he wasn't familiar with Nox, after this brief alliance, at least when there were no conflicts of interest, they had a certain relationship, the kind where they could sit down and chat.
"Alright, since this matter is over, it's time for us to disperse."
Although the four were in an alliance, this alliance was only a temporary alliance for this specific interest.
Soon, the four left one after another, returning to their own territories.
"The progress over the past year has been great, especially after the battle with Garp, which allowed me to use two types of Sword Intent at the same time. My attack power has greatly increased, completely comparable to Garp's fists!"
"When I improve my physique and Busoshoku Haki in the future, I will be truly perfect and without flaws!"
Nox summarized with satisfaction. He had made rapid progress over the past year.
The battle with Garp had completely broken his limits, allowing him to reach another level of attack power by using two types of Sword Intent simultaneously!
He really wanted to see how powerful his sword would become when he used three types of Sword Intent at the same time!
"Shocking! Four great pirates simultaneously attacked four World Government member states and actually succeeded!"
"Two Admirals of Marineford and Marine Hero Garp failed to take down the great pirate World. What was the reason behind this?"
"The World's Greatest Swordsman has been born! He is Limitless Great Swordsman Nox! He broke the iron rule of the World's Grand Swordmaster! A Grand Swordmaster can actually use two types of Sword Intent at the same time!"
"After the dissolution of the Rocks Pirates, the New World did not become peaceful. Instead, it fell into an unprecedented era of rampage!"
"..."
With the Limitless Pirates and the other four Pirate Crew acting simultaneously, they caught the Marines and the World Government off guard.
The result was that three World Government member states in the New World were directly lost, and one completely declined. It was unknown whether they could still pay the celestial tribute and maintain their status as a World Government member state in the end.
In reality, four World Government member states had disappeared.
There were only over twenty World Government member states in the Grand Line. From the time of Rocks until now, there were only 17 Allied Nations left.
Among these 17 Allied Nations, only 9 were in the New World, and the remaining 8 were in the first half of the Grand Line.
No one knew how many of these last 9 World Government member states in the New World would still exist in the coming era of pirate rampage.
Holy Land Mary Geoise:
"Four World Government member states have been lost again. This is very unfavorable for us."
Finance War God Nasujuro Saint said.
The loss of four World Government member states meant that the annual celestial tribute quota was reduced by four, which was the most direct loss of interest for the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
"We cannot launch a large-scale attack on the New World now. If we handle it improperly, it is likely to cause the remnants of the Rocks Pirates to unite again."
