Seeing Rowen take a step, the entire Marine camp’s expression changed drastically.
In this war, this man had inflicted unprecedented pain upon the Navy. He had even killed Admiral Aokiji.
Now, this man was moving again... was his target Admiral Akainu??
If two Admirals died at this man’s hands in this war—all the Marines didn’t dare to imagine to what depths their Justice would collapse.
"GARP!" Sengoku roared, a truly furious roar.
As old comrades who had fought together for years, Garp, still amidst the rubble, understood Sengoku’s meaning.
Because of his hesitation, Ace was rescued. Sengoku hadn’t blamed him.
But now, if Sky Sovereign Rowen intervened in the battle between Akainu and Straw Hat—AKAINU WAS DOOMED!
The Navy’s Justice would truly, completely collapse!
He absolutely could not let that happen.
CRACKLE!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Violent, tyrannical crimson-black lightning erupted furiously. The rubble covering Garp was instantly pulverized.
Garp, now completely wreathed in incredibly violent crimson-black lightning, dyed the very sky above him with its color.
<><><><><><><><>
"I have been utterly unsightly... But—I cannot let you continue to destroy Justice, Sky Sovereign Rowen," Garp declared, an extreme crimson-black light flashing in his eyes.
"Hm??" Rowen’s eyes narrowed sharply. An intense red light flashed in his own eyes.
Then, he abruptly raised his fist.
WHOOSH!
Garp, who had been a considerable distance away, moved like a literal bolt of crimson-black lightning, instantly appearing before Rowen!
Without any long-distance acceleration, Garp’s short-range speed was even faster than Kizaru’s Glint-Glint Fruit.
Rowen, knowing Garp’s performance on Hachinosu Island from the original story, had anticipated this. But to truly feel this man’s speed firsthand—even Rowen was amazed.
This man had trained Haōshoku Coating and martial arts to their absolute peak.
Against such speed, a head-on clash was the only option.
<><><><><><><><>
"Thunder Gloves——!" Rowen’s full-power Haoshoku Coating instantly enveloped his Thunder Gloves.
"Galaxy Impact——!" Garp roared, his martial arts and Haōshoku Coating pushed to their extreme as he swung his fist towards Rowen.
With Ace rescued, his shaken heart had stabilized. Garp could now naturally unleash the full power of his Haōshoku Coating.
BAAAAAAAAANG!
Their fists collided violently in mid-air.
Without even making physical contact, an incredibly terrifying energy storm exploded outwards.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Centered on Rowen and Garp, the very earth instantly shattered. Under this extremely violent energy collision, the entirety of Marineford trembled violently.
<><><><><><><><>
"I’ve really gotten old," Garp laughed heartily.
"An old soldier of a bygone era," Rowen commented, looking at Garp.
What a powerful Haki.. As expected of Hero Garp. if not for Koby holding him back, he could have soloed Hachinosu island!
"THIS IS NO LONGER YOUR ERA, GARP!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The incredibly violent crimson-black lightning around Rowen raged even more furiously. Under his control, it solidified into a tangible bolt of crimson-black lightning, stabbing towards Garp—
"To train Haki to this level... Annoying brat," Garp’s expression was grim. He swung his fist, unleashing his full-power Haōshoku Coating!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The force of their clashing Haki made the entire island of Marineford begin to sink.
The already crumbling Marineford could no longer withstand such a terrifying impact.
<><><><><><><><>
"As expected... Garp alone can’t handle this man’s combat strength," Sengoku murmured, watching the battle, his expression dark.
Fire Fist Ace and Straw Hat Luffy were both left for Akainu to deal with.
But this war had another figure who absolutely had to be eliminated—Sky Sovereign Rowen.
The power this man had displayed in this war was too scary... His Haki, previously his only weak point, had also undergone an unbelievably frightening enhancement.
Back on Thunder-Ice Island, this man had retreated upon sensing Garp’s presence. But now, he was no longer someone Garp could handle alone.
The threat this man posed to Justice—was even greater than the Four Emperors...
Sengoku’s expression turned grim.
"Hmph! Thinking of moving, Sengoku??" Rayleigh, seeing Sengoku’s expression, was not surprised.
A Two-on-one was the Navy’s specialty.
Relying on their absolute numerical superiority over any single faction, the Navy often created two-on-one situations.
Golden Lion Shiki was defeated by Garp and Sengoku working together. On these seas, no one had ever defeated Garp and Sengoku’s combined might.
Rayleigh’s glasses glinted as he moved to intercept Sengoku.
"KIZARU!" Sengoku roared.
After such a long recovery, and with Fire Fist Ace rescued, the shadow in Kizaru’s heart had temporarily been swept away.
Hearing Sengoku’s summons, Kizaru’s entire body began to dissolve into light.
"Acting like I’m not even here?? KIZARU!" Whitebeard roared, about to move, but his expression suddenly changed.
"Cough! Cough! SPURT!"
Kneeling on one knee, Whitebeard coughed up a massive mouthful of blood. His body had finally reached the point of complete exhaustion.
"What a shame, Whitebeard," Kizaru commented, the eyes behind his sunglasses now utterly ruthless. He pointed his right index finger at Whitebeard.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Several beams of light shot out, directly piercing Whitebeard’s vital points.
"POPS!" Marco and the other commanders’ eyes widened in fury and despair. But with their strength, they couldn’t even break through the defensive line led by Gion and Chaton.
"Yasakani no Magatama——!" Kizaru fired a beam of light.
The moment the light reached Rayleigh, Kizaru activated his Glint-Glint Fruit ability, using the properties of light to instantly appear before Rayleigh!
"Ama no Murakumo——!"
CLANG!
Kizaru slashed at Rayleigh with his light sword, forcing Rayleigh to grimly block the attack.
<><><><><><><><>
"Hmph!" With a flash of golden light, Sengoku’s figure appeared beside Garp.
"Sengoku." Seeing Sengoku arrive, Garp’s expression darkened. Sengoku was serious.
"Sky Sovereign Rowen... You’ll spend the rest of your life in Impel Down," Sengoku declared, glaring at Rowen.
"Hero Garp... Sengoku the Buddha," Rowen murmured, his eyes flashing as he looked at Garp and Sengoku standing together.
A classic duo from the One Piece story—and arguably, the Navy’s strongest pair. The combination of Garp and Sengoku had captured countless legendary pirates.
This time, they intended to use their two-on-one strength to capture him??
INTERESTING!
The crimson-black light in Rowen’s eyes flashed madly.
In the world of One Piece, in this era, and even in Roger’s era—anyone would be defeated by the combined might of Garp and Sengoku. Even Whitebeard and Roger in their prime were no exception.
"VICE ADMIRAL GARP! FLEET ADMIRAL SENGOKU!" Seeing the two figures together, the Marine forces roared in celebration!
<><><><><><><><>
"ROWEN!" Seeing Rowen facing both Sengoku and Garp, Nami, Vivi, and Robin’s expressions changed drastically!
Rowen was strong.
Against anyone, they had full confidence. But now, he was facing two super-powerhouses simultaneously... And it was Hero Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku!
"Damn it! In a battle like this, are we still useless??" Zoro and Sanji snarled, filled with frustration.
"Hah..." Rowen exhaled slowly. His Haki began to boil.
"BRAT!" Sengoku snorted, seeing the Conqueror’s Haki boiling around Rowen.
"Impact Wave——!" Sengoku slammed his right palm forward.
BOOM! CRACKLE!
BANG!
