Chapter 474: Kizaru Said He Understood Everything
Rumble!
A tremendous roar echoed across the sky.
A ring of air waves transformed into ripples, sweeping over the sea.
The shockwave exploded, shattering the nearby water layer into fragments.
Bright ice crystals flew through the air, reflecting dazzling light.
The ocean currents expanded outward, forming circles of massive waves.
Lightning flickered intermittently.
The various ships watching from a distance rocked violently.
"What a terrifying impact! Hurry, use your abilities to protect the ship!" someone shouted.
People on the ships were shocked as they saw the tsunami, tens of meters high, approaching.
This sudden tsunami caught many off guard.
Fortunately, the ships that had made it this far were not ordinary.
Otherwise, an average ship would likely have been overturned by the tsunami.
As people scrambled in slight confusion, preparing to use their abilities to shield the ships, a chilling sensation swept over them.
Click! Click!
The surrounding sea and the incoming tsunami froze instantly.
"That's… Marine Admiral Candidate Momousagi!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone looked at the woman standing at the bow of the warship. A piece of ice in her hand connected to the sea.
They quickly recognized her.
Marine Admiral Candidate Momousagi was a woman well-known to many.
Of course, her fame did not stem solely from her Admiral Candidate status but from being the disciple of the Ice Goddess.
After all, gods were closely watched by the world.
As the goddess's apprentice, Momousagi naturally carried an aura of prominence.
Being the goddess's apprentice alone was enough to make Momousagi stand out.
Moreover, Momousagi later gained the ability to freeze.
Rumors said her powers were granted by the goddess.
Her strength was formidable, having once ranked third in the third kendo competition, just behind the Sword Master and the Ice Flame Queen.
On the warship, Tsuru looked at Momousagi at the bow and nodded with satisfaction.
The freezing power Momousagi wielded, bestowed by Esdeath, was remarkable.
Compared to Aokiji's freezing ability, it was even stronger.
According to Esdeath, if Gion worked hard enough, she could become even more powerful.
As for why Esdeath had not granted her full power at once, Tsuru could not guess.
Regardless, based on the current situation, the Marines had gained another strategic asset.
In a world dominated by the sea, the ability to freeze vast expanses of water was a strategic advantage.
Momousagi's freezing surpassed even Aokiji's, so she could naturally achieve this.
Thus, Tsuru felt quite content.
She shifted her gaze.
Rumble!
Another shockwave struck, shattering the frozen tsunami blocking her view into ice crystals scattered across the sky.
The ice crystals reflected colorful light and shadows under the sun, looking dazzling and beautiful.
"Garp is being reckless again." Tsuru said.
"But Uchiha Madara? His strength is incredible. This man is likely…" she trailed off, looking at a massive figure and a smaller one fighting in the distance.
Despite its enormous size, the giant moved at an astonishing speed.
Shockwaves followed one after another.
With such power, it was no wonder he could defeat Big Mom.
It was a pity that the man's personality was so self-centered.
Tsuru had heard all of Madara's words when he appeared earlier.
Though they were far away, a Demon Pattern User on her ship had overheard the conversation from a distance.
Thus, she knew everything that was said.
From his words and cold aura, she could discern his general personality.
It was not an exaggeration to call him lawless.
She hoped he would not become a pirate.
Otherwise, the Marines would face another formidable opponent.
Tsuru pondered leisurely in her mind.
"That Uchiha Madara is truly powerful. To hold his own against Garp-san, he's a real monster!" a voice said from a nearby warship.
Recognizing the familiar tone, Tsuru immediately knew who had arrived.
She turned and saw a warship slowly passing by.
A man in a yellow striped shirt looked alarmed, though he was still trimming his nails with one hand.
"Borsalino, you arrived quite late." Tsuru said calmly, looking at Kizaru.
"Tsuru-san, please spare me! It's because of my team." Kizaru said, spreading his hands with a helpless expression.
In today's Marines, those with talent and potential rarely joined his side.
His justice was ambiguous justice—sounding vague at best, and at worst, just a way to slack off.
Many with potential had their own convictions.
Both hawks and doves were better options than joining him.
It was not that he had no one under his command.
But such people would not withstand the onslaught of numerous sea beasts and Sea Kings.
As for himself, he had to act quickly!
Fortunately, the clever Kizaru, though lazy, still had his wits.
He followed directly behind the Iron Sun's ship.
With that man who shocked him, his journey of laziness went smoothly.
The sea beasts and Sea Kings fled the moment they saw that man.
Kizaru could not help but sigh.
He is worthy of being a demigod! His presence was just different.
"Did that man come too?" Tsuru asked, ignoring Kizaru and focusing on a ship not far away.
At the bow of the official Iron Sun ship of the Hunter Association stood a man.
He had a gentle smile, black-rimmed glasses, black clothes with white feathers, and a sword at his waist.
Sōsuke Aizen, a demigod who had recently risen rapidly and made waves across the world.
Tsuru had complex feelings about Aizen.
In terms of behavior, this man was undoubtedly exceptional.
But he had aligned himself with the World Government.
This was puzzling.
Could the power and wealth promised by the World Government truly attract such a person?
Tsuru had her doubts.
On the other side, aboard the Sisters Sword Society's ship, the legendary swordmaster Scarlet looked at Aizen not far away.
Her expression was somewhat solemn.
Scarlet also knew of Aizen.
After all, she currently held the position of deputy captain of the first division in Soul Society.
Scarlet had received information from Soralin about Aizen's deeds in Soul Society.
When she first heard about Aizen, she wondered how he could have come to this world from Soul Society.
At present, Soul Society had not yet opened a passage to the real world.
Later, Soralin explained it was because of the teacher.
Scarlet did not dwell on it too much.
As long as it was not a flaw, it was fine.
However, the fact that this man had defeated an Apostle surprised her the most.
This was quite different from the information Soralin had provided.
His strength had improved too quickly. Was there really no issue?
She wondered what the teacher thought.
A figure that fascinated her appeared in Scarlet's mind.
While Scarlet was lost in thought, Aizen observed the battle between Madara and Garp in the distance.
With a faint smile, he pushed up his glasses.
He stepped off the ship, landing on the ice surface where countless ice crystals were constantly lifted by shockwaves.
He walked toward the battlefield.
"Kuwahahaha! It's incredible! Uchiha Madara and the Marine hero Garp are fighting. The battle between them is intense and extraordinary." Morgans said.
"The massive shockwave has triggered a tsunami in the surrounding ocean currents and shattered the frozen ice surface."
"This is a battle at the pinnacle of the sea!"
Morgans paused briefly before speaking again, his voice sudden and urgent.
"Wait… that's him! There's no mistake—it's Sōsuke Aizen, the new demigod of the sea."
"He's arrived at the scene and is walking toward the battlefield."
"Is he going to intervene in the fight?"
Morgans shouted loudly, his voice growing even more passionate.
"Kuwahahaha! Is a demigod about to take action? This is so thrilling!"
