That enormous body, reaching a height of five meters, towered over the three present, making them instinctively look up, each showing a grave expression as they gazed at this earth-shattering...
Monster!
With a thunderous roar, the creature bellowed: "Dragon Transformation Breathing Technique..."
"100% of 100%!"
Life Return fully utilized, combined with the Dragon Transformation Breathing Technique!
This created a physique of absolute power!
Sage had always been reluctant to use this stance; compared to the usual Dragon Transformation Breathing Technique, this move, combined with Life Return, consumed much more stamina. Once it was deactivated, he would need a large amount of food to replenish the tremendous energy consumption.
But correspondingly...
Whoosh!
A laser shot from Borsalino's fingertip, striking Sage's body. The laser, capable of piercing through anything, merely left a fiery burn on his hardened body before quickly disappearing.
Seeing this, Kizaru's eyes behind his light-colored sunglasses slightly widened.
Without Haki protection, it's purely...
Using the body to block!
This is the fruit of his long-term training with the Poneglyphs!
Boom!
Sage raised his hand, clenching that refined steel-like fist heavily, crushing even the air, producing a massive muffled sound.
"Today it's not you killing me..."
Sage stared directly at the three, showing a grin as fierce as a demon's: "It's me killing you!!"
Sizzle!
Flowing fire-like Haki coiled around his hand as he clenched his fist, bursting forth with several black flashes.
"Galaxy Impact!!"
Boom!!
The punch unleashed did not form a protective Haki cover anymore but turned directly into a thick columnar Haki shockwave. Even though it did not hit the ice surface, the aftermath of its impact plowed the ice in front of him into fragments, causing seawater to surge back.
Borsalino transformed into a beam of light the moment Sage punched, flickering in the sky while gazing down at the monster below.
Kuzan stepped back and extended his icy breath from his feet again to freeze the seawater, while Garp also swung a punch, unleashing a Galaxy Impact that collided with the cylindrical Haki shock, the ensuing clash shattered the ice again, causing the sea to roll up, raising several big waves.
But this time, after Garp swung his punch, he breathed lowly a few times.
Even though the intensity of his Haki wasn't high, swinging such consecutive punches made him a bit tired.
On the contrary, that little brat Sage, his Haki intensity remained consistent.
Garp laughed: "The kids these days are really something!"
Just as he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed because after Sage threw his punch, he pulled his fist back again, unleashing the same Haki as before.
During the previous battles, Garp observed closely, noting that after Sage performed a 'Fist Bone' move, there was always a one to two-second interval. The time was not long but was undoubtedly a huge flaw for them.
This time was different, Sage's punch... had no interval!
"Galaxy Impact..."
Sizzle!
Dark flashes danced as Sage fiercely punched again.
"Rapid Fire!"
The combination of Life Return and the Dragon Transformation Breathing Technique forced him to break through the limitation where full force release would briefly exhaust Haki, completely lifting this restraint.
Now Sage could use all his Haki without any concerns!
Expend it all!
No matter how strong the opponent is, Haki isn't infinite!
But Sage now, armed with enough time and absolutely resilient physique, could outlast these opponents!
