As the battle continued, Akainu confronted Kaido, Kizaru faced Charlotte Linlin, and Munis engaged Silver Axe.
As for the remaining Wang Zhi, the Flying Pirates, and the Infinite Pirates' numerous top-tier fighters, most were blocked by the elite forces dispatched by the World Government.
After all, other pirate crews, even the Flying Pirates and Infinite Pirates, had not sent all their strongest forces into this battle.
The Flying Pirates only sent Reinhardt, while Infinite Pirates' Chinjao, Ashura Doji, and many of their officers were absent.
The recently occupied South Blue needed protection, and territories in the New World also required defense; it was impossible to commit all their forces to this war. Otherwise, given the current strength of the World Government and the Navy, they would not be able to hold their ground!
"Kill!!!"
"Charge! Kill the pirates!"
"Hahaha, the Navy is here! I haven't seen the Navy in ages!"
"Damn it, these Navy fools dare to charge in! They really don't know how to die!"
Under the desperate obstruction of the Navy and the elite forces of the World Government, numerous warships finally approached the pirate ships, and soldiers aboard began to rush forward to engage in fierce combat with the pirates.
"Navy, tremble under the armaments of our Infinite Pirates!"
However, when those Navy soldiers attempted to board the Infinite Pirates' ship to destroy the Steel Battleships, they were met with even more ferocious armaments fire!
Submachine guns, heavy machine guns, Gatling guns, and firearms—modern weapons, even more powerful than those of the present, appeared.
Those Navy soldiers who had not mastered the Six Powers or Armament Haki were unable to break through the heavy weaponry's assault and died on their own ships.
"Hahahahaha, Navy, die for me!"
"Golden Giant Sword!"
Tesoro, who had been promoted to a regular officer of the Infinite Pirates, jumped into the air clad in golden armor, creating a forty-meter-long golden giant sword with a wave of his hand, and cleaved down towards a nearby warship.
"Crack!!!"
A whole warship was instantly split in half beneath that golden giant sword.
"Damn pirates, give me your lives!"
Two Navy vice admirals, Weasel and Doberman, noticed Tesoro's actions and immediately used Moon Walk to fly out and intercept Tesoro's wanton destruction of the warships.
"Two Navy vice admirals think they can stop me? What a joke!"
Although Tesoro's Gold-Gold Fruit had not yet awakened, his strength had already surpassed that of an average vice admiral. Even facing two opponents, he remained confident in his invincibility!
This time, nearly all Navy personnel were mobilized, with most of the elite Navy forces resisting the core strength of the various pirate crews.
Especially after the officers of the Infinite Pirates joined the fray, the situation became even more difficult for the Navy and the World Government! After Barrett and Garp exchanged a punch, both were forced back several dozen meters.
However, just as Barrett was regaining his footing, a bolt of lightning surged towards him, a massive bear paw carrying terrifying electrical power struck from the side.
"Bang!!!"
Barrett instinctively raised his hands to shield himself, but the immense force sent him flying over a hundred meters.
"Garp, your task is to deal with Li Yuan; leave Barrett to me!"
Gabriel Pavlovich turned to Garp and said.
He was a top-tier powerhouse sent by the World Government, having consumed the Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Thunder Bear. This Devil Fruit was originally eaten by a top-tier fighter of the Celestial Dragons but was lost in an explosion created by the World Government.
After the Devil Fruit was reborn, it was found by the Celestial Dragons, who then used it to cultivate a new top-tier powerhouse, which was Gabriel Pavlovich himself.
Upon hearing this, Garp said nothing and took the opportunity to disengage from his battle with Barrett, charging towards Li Yuan.
"Damn it!"
Barrett glared at the thunderous bear man before him, daring to interfere in his fight with Garp. He hoped he could take a beating; otherwise, he would make sure to make him suffer!
"Gravity Fist: Mountain Collapse!"
Barrett, filled with rage, crushed the ice beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, his body vanished from sight. His gravity-compressed fist, combined with the red Conqueror's Haki, was suddenly unleashed.
"Thunderstorm Paw!"
Gabriel did not back down, striking with his bear paw charged with intense electrical power.
However, when the fist and paw collided, Gabriel's electrical power was crushed by the gravity, and without the support of Conqueror's Haki, he was directly overwhelmed by Barrett, his body sent flying back over a hundred meters! "Come again!!"
Gabriel shook off the pain in his bear paw and fearlessly charged forward again. Although he was no match for Barrett, his task was merely to hold Barrett back, not to defeat him!
"Attack!"
In the sky, two figures suddenly appeared: one was a black divine eagle wreathed in lightning, Ivan Williams, one of the guardians of the Celestial Dragon family, who had consumed the Mythical Zoan-type Bird Bird Fruit, Thunder God Eagle form.
The other was Aymel Jiang Thomas, who had consumed the Paramecia-type Shatter Fruit.
This Devil Fruit was once eaten by the head of Cipher Pol Aigis 0, Josua Langer, but was later killed by the World Government. After being reborn at sea, it was found by the Celestial Dragons, allowing Aymel Jiang Thomas the opportunity to consume this top-tier Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.
"Thunderfall!"
"Shatter Impact!"
Ivan and Aymel Jiang struck simultaneously, and a brilliant bolt of lightning fell from the sky like a meteor, while simultaneously, a shattering force capable of cracking space itself surged towards Li Yuan.
"Bone Fist: Galaxy Impact!!!"
Meanwhile, Garp, having disengaged from his battle with Barrett, charged directly towards Li Yuan, his dark red Haki shining brightly. As Garp threw his punch, it was as if a meteor was sweeping through.
In an instant, Li Yuan found himself under attack from three top-tier powerhouses.
"Hermes, you don't need to intervene!"
Seeing this, Hermes was about to step in to stop Garp but was halted by Li Yuan's voice through Observation Haki.
"It's been a while since I've cut someone; I imagine you want to remember the feeling of cutting someone yourself!"
Li Yuan smiled slightly.
Then, the Seven Star Sword appeared in his hand in an instant, the blade trembling lightly as if responding to Li Yuan, eager to cut.
Having already transformed into a Black Blade, the Seven Star Sword turned dark red the moment Li Yuan grasped it! In the next moment, Li Yuan transformed into a humanoid vampire form, the terrifying sword intent, Haki, and blood power perfectly merging with the Seven Star Sword.
Crimson lightning filled the entire sky, and although his Conqueror's Haki was fully attached to the sword and not released, at that moment, nearly all top-tier fighters on the battlefield felt an invisible pressure, the oppressive aura of the world's strongest man! This sense of oppression was m
ost acutely felt by the three top-tier fighters attacking Li Yuan: Ivan, Aymel Jiang, and Garp!
