Sengoku stood beside Garp, his expression stern, his gaze concentrated. His entire body exuded an aura distinct from his usual elegance, vast as the ocean, heavy as a mountain, like a sleeping lion about to awaken.
"A bit weaker than Garp, but more profound than an Admiral. As expected of a Fleet Admiral." Ye Chen mused to himself. The current period he was in was more than a decade before the plot began, meaning the renowned figures of the world were at their peak.
It was like Whitebeard; his physique hadn't aged yet, and his strength was much greater than during the Summit War. Otherwise, Whitebeard wouldn't be able to suppress numerous pirates and become the unchallenged number one pirate group in the New World.
Even a fearless fellow like Kaido would treat Whitebeard with extreme caution. If the Summit War were to happen during this period, Whitebeard would probably not go to rescue someone, but to plunder. And the Marines wouldn't dare publicly execute Ace.
"Are you alright, Garp?" Sengoku turned his head and asked Garp.
"Don't worry, this attack can't hurt me." Garp grinned, revealing his white teeth. Seeing that Garp was fine, Sengoku's expression instantly changed. His face, dark as a cast-iron pot, was like a volcano about to erupt.
His gaze, sharp as a sword, radiated endless cold light, fixedly staring at Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, we already gave you the thing. Why... why did you kill... my Marine soldiers? What do you take Marine Headquarters for? Is this your Impel Down?"
Sengoku spoke slowly, almost biting each word in the middle, and finally roaring out with an enraged posture. It was imaginable how furious Sengoku was at this moment.
"Heh heh, I said before that what I hate most in my life is threats." Ye Chen's mouth twitched, his gaze chilling. "Those ignorant fools thought I couldn't do anything to them in Marine Headquarters, threatening me fearlessly. Did they really think I couldn't do anything to them?"
Sengoku's expression flickered with a hint of bewilderment. He hadn't expected that the people he dispatched would dare to threaten Ye Chen. To deal with Doflamingo, he had repeatedly studied the personalities of everyone involved with Doflamingo, especially carefully understanding Captain Ye Chen.
Sengoku was very clear about Ye Chen's personality: an individual who wouldn't offend others unless provoked, but if provoked, would retaliate a hundredfold. To put it plainly, as long as one didn't provoke him, they would be safe. But if they provoked him, even the Elders of the World Government would have to suffer his revenge.
Suddenly, Sengoku felt some regret in his heart. He shouldn't have sent those people to guard Ye Chen in the first place. But things had already happened and reached an irreversible point.
For the sake of the Marines' face, and also for the glory of the fallen Marine soldiers, Sengoku could not let Ye Chen leave today, no matter what. Otherwise, he would have no face to confront the numerous Marine soldiers below, no face to confront the glorious flag of justice.
"This is Marine Headquarters..." Sengoku stared fixedly at Ye Chen with both eyes, speaking softly. These words had already stated Sengoku's position. This was Marine Headquarters, the place representing justice in the world, not a place for pirates to run wild.
"Osiris, hold Sengoku for a moment. I want to fight Garp." Ye Chen said calmly on the surface, but secretly to himself. "Okay." Instantly, a deep voice rang in Ye Chen's mind.
"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. Let's fight." Ye Chen shrugged, his face solemn. "I also want to see the Marine's top combat power." As his words fell, Sengoku and Garp unleashed their full power.
Sengoku instantly stomped dozens of times on the ground, performing Moonwalk, then pushing forward, instantly charging out. At the same time, Osiris flew out from Ye Chen's body, his figure instantly swelling dozens of times, hovering in the air, exuding an irresistible aura.
"Osiris." Sengoku saw the dragon's shadow in the sky, his pupils instantly constricting.
"Sengoku, leave this dragon to me. I didn't get a decisive fight with him last time." Garp laughed loudly, instantly changing direction, stepping into the air to meet Osiris.
Osiris, with dragon-like eyes, glanced at Garp. His tail swept horizontally, performing a "Dragon's Tail Swing," instantly sending Garp flying backward.
Ye Chen had said his opponent was Sengoku, and also that fellow with the circular eyes. Not this meddling fellow. Sending Garp, this meddling fellow, flying, Osiris swayed his body. Lightning gathered in his mouth, instantly forming a sphere, flying towards Sengoku.
"Is my opponent me?" Sengoku's heart trembled. At the same time, Sengoku's entire body radiated golden light. In an instant, Sengoku's body swelled, like a giant Buddha, exuding an extremely heavy and sacred aura.
Sengoku, transformed into a giant Buddha, clasped his hands together, preparing to receive the thunder bomb fired by Osiris, while also enhancing himself with Armament Haki, seemingly wanting to crush the thunder bomb.
"Naive." Ye Chen laughed in his heart. If Osiris's attack was so easy to block, he wouldn't be called a god.
"Hmph." A huge thunder bomb instantly surged with golden light, then suddenly exploded. As the explosion rang out, Sengoku was swept away by the shockwave generated by the explosion. Sengoku staggered back several tens of meters before barely stopping.
"Such power." Feeling the numbness from his hands, Sengoku was secretly astonished. Although Garp usually said Osiris was very strong, he didn't really believe it. But when he actually fought Osiris, he realized how astonishing this red dragon's strength was. "This guy is really impolite." Garp, sent flying by Osiris, slowly got up, mumbling.
And Ye Chen, seeing Garp already standing up, immediately wielded his katana. A faint, blurry dragon shape enveloped his body, formed by surging sword energy.
"Dragon Slaying Slash." As Ye Chen roared, the dragon-shaped sword energy instantly became clear, like a soaring dragon, rushing towards Garp with layers of roaring sounds.
"Kid, this old man hasn't settled the score with you yet." Garp snorted coldly, his arms instantly wrapped in Armament Haki. "Iron Fist." As Garp shouted this plain sound, his fist immediately struck out, carrying an extremely heavy oppressive sound.
Just as it was about to reach Garp, Ye Chen, holding his sword with both hands, directly parried upwards, and rushed out with endless sword energy. Sword energy like a dragon, surging turbulently. Iron Fist, Haki revealed.
"Boom." The two clashed, instantly producing an astonishing explosion. The ground then cracked, collapsing by a meter. A wave of air, centered around the two, surged outwards, sweeping in all directions.
"Doflamingo?" Steel Bone, who was rushing, heard a series of explosions and saw the colossal object in the sky, his expression frozen. Instantly, his footsteps quickened.
