Off the coast of Galzburg, Fujitora's eyes trembled with an extremely high frequency, as if he desperately wanted to open them and see the scene before him.
"Hey, look! That island is about to fall!"
"What in the world is going on?! Admiral Seiryu is still up there!"
"What's happening? The feeling I got just now was as if everything was about to be destroyed."
"Yeah, but it only lasted a very short time. That feeling disappeared in an instant."
The Marine soldiers discussed animatedly. Without a live broadcast, they didn't know what was happening in the arena on the island.
"I really wish I could see it with my own eyes. With Admiral Seiryu there, the champion is definitely going to be the Marines."
"No!"
Fujitora suddenly spoke, his expression still showing no signs of relaxation. The grip on his sword hilt tightened, and a terrifying invisible gravity enveloped him.
Even among his fellow Marines, no one dared to approach the aura he emitted, like a ferocious tiger poised to descend from the mountain, immensely intimidating.
"Admiral Fujitora? Is something wrong?" A subordinate officer asked curiously.
Fujitora didn't speak. Under his Observation Haki, a power no less than that of Shiki from before was brewing and forming.
"This power... I seem to be a little familiar with it. Is that you, Renji?"
Fujitora looked up, his deeply furrowed brow lines creasing even more.
The next moment.
Boom!
A crimson light shot straight into the sky, like a pillar supporting the sky, piercing into the massive black cloud vortex above, which resembled a peerless monstrous beast. Terrifying Conqueror's Haki poured out wildly.
Fortunately, Renji had them move several kilometers away from the island in advance. Otherwise, many Marine soldiers on the warships would likely have fainted by now.

"This is!!"
On the World government department's warship, Kaku looked at the sky above the island with a face full of horror. Even without experiencing it firsthand, that terrifying light still gave off immense pressure.
"It's Conqueror's Haki!"
Lucci's expression was extremely solemn. His gaze swept across the sea, and he said in a serious tone, "This Haki... even I am far from being able to compare."
The surrounding CP0 members were even more shocked to hear Lucci's words. Even Lucci, who usually had an incredibly high opinion of himself, admitted that his Haki was far inferior to the one on the island.
So, to what extent had its power reached? What kind of gap could make Lucci utter such a sigh?
"Even this extreme destructive natural disaster is affected by this Haki. The true combat power of the person who possesses this strength has very likely already reached the pinnacle of the world." Lucci analyzed seriously.
"What kind of existence has appeared on this island?"
After speaking, as if thinking of something, Lucci's eyes flickered non-stop. He frantically tried to deny his own guess in his mind.
However, his usually rational brain told him that the owner of this power, very likely, was Renji.
On Renji's warship, all the Marine soldiers looked at the island with worried expressions.
"How is Admiral Seiryu doing now? He should be fine, right?"
"First the strong winds, and now this red light shooting into the sky. What in the world is happening on the island?"
Yamakaji's cigarette butt fell onto the deck. In his astonishment, he no longer cared about smoking. "Miguel, you mean... this Haki..."
Yamakaji hinted at something.
Miguel didn't answer immediately, only looking at the extremely intense red light.
"No matter what, boss will definitely do everything he says. We just need to follow orders."
Seeing Miguel's absolute trust in Renji, Yamakaji didn't say much more.
Two years ago, Renji had saved his life. He, too, had the same trust in the latter.
—
"Are we still going to stay here and wait?"
"Who else could possess Conqueror's Haki of this level?"
"Captain, this Haki... can this really be the power achieved by mere Conqueror's Haki?" Laffitte's face showed horror, his thin arms and legs already trembling subtly.
The members of the Blackbeard Pirates could barely speak in front of this overwhelming power.
Shiryu looked at the surging red light and, for some reason, thought of the brat who had hammered them into the ground two years ago.
Now, Admiral Seiryu!
Buzz!
Level 5 Conqueror's Haki could already be called peerless in the world.
The power of the mind, like that of a celestial being, gave Renji a terrifying, almost inexhaustible Haki reserve. Under Conqueror's Haki of this level, even Devil Fruit users would be intensely suppressed. The power they could exert would be far less than half of what it normally would be.
Furthermore, with the buff of Level 9 Limit Break, the Conqueror's Haki Renji was now wielding had reached the effect of suppressing souls.
Divine Departure!
The brilliant red slash transformed into celestial light, burning freely over this Galzburg.
Terrifying Conqueror's Haki lightning serpents, carrying an intent to destroy everything, forged a blade of endless killing intent that suddenly slashed towards Kaido of the Beasts.
At this moment, Kaido, who had been looking forward to it just a second ago, suddenly had a drastic change in his expression.
"This power! It's even more astonishing than Roger and Whitebeard. Even Rocks..."
The incredibly shocked Kaido's movements were not slow either. His entire body's muscles wildly swelled and bulged, and his aura instantly became incredibly terrifying.
The aura of a Four Emperors, a top-tier powerhouse, swept out. Thick purple-black Conqueror's lightning exploded, an attack that concentrated all of his Haki.
Under the horrified gazes of the various powerhouses, their attacks collided violently.
Boom!
Purple-black lightning and crimson lightning clashed in the air.
Buzz!
Level 9 swordsmanship was a level even the world's top swordmasters found hard to reach.
Even the world's strongest swordsman, Mihawk, purely in terms of swordsmanship, might not be a match for Renji now.
Let alone this strike, Divine Departure, fused with Conqueror's Haki.
Under Kaido's horrified gaze, his purple-black Haki was rapidly torn apart.
