The Screams of Leroy reverberated through the battlefield. But it would be 10 minutes. At the minimum before he would return to the battle.
Meanwhile. The Redbeard pirates were currently fighting tooth and nail against the Vice Admirals. And so far. It was not going well.
Sparks flew in the air! It was Hannibal Wolfheart. His blades colliding with Morrozo. The Swordsman of the Redbeard Fleet. The two were fighting with such speed, such precision. That to others of the crew couldn't even watch as their blades collided.
The massive thunderous sonic boom sounded their movement as the two suddenly appeared on top of a massive building. One of the homes of the vice admirals below.
"So. Whats your goal here, Morozzo. Attempting to challenging me…Again? How many times does this make. The third?" Hannibal asked. His golden red eyes shimmering as he cocked a brow. His face masqueraded by the cloth across his face
"Its been 20 times…Apex." Morozzo addressed the Worlds Strongest Swordsmen by his Epithet.
"Ah. Pardon me then. I often times can't tell if the challenges are just the wind against my face. Especially in a storm that can't move you." The fabric creased, denoting the smile beneath it.
"There you go again. All with the Euphemisms." Morozzo dashed and clashed his blades again! Suddenly, a blade appeared in Hannibals hand. Materializing out of nowhere! It was a Katana!
"Showing your reqia?! This soon? What am I finally getting you against the ropes?!" The Swordsman smiled slicing two more times!
"You say that as if you aren't already using your own. Its whats keeping you on your feet. Keeping you in constant orientation of me….Whats its name?" Hannibal asked. The katana in his hand glowing slightly
"Seige Perilous. Utility Type." It was clear that Morozzo had a strange attribute to his feet. On his ankles there seemed to be Manacles that glowed and were studded.With a subtle glow on his stomach.
"Heheh. As expected. You lack creativity. Infinite possibilities to develop an ability. And you choose something like that." Hannibal Talked down to the man.
"My Wild Hunt is the pinnacle of will. You couldn't even dream of accomplishing these Heights!" He slashed suddenly! His eyes widening in fury! Eyes glowing and an aura of red that was outlined in gold
Morozzo, with all the strength he had, dodged out of the way!
Only for the slash to slam against the ice wall that was kilometers high and the same distance away! Cutting straight through the ice and sending it flying up through the air for almost 3 miles!
"Holy Shit!" Marines called out! One of them ran through the streets. Seeing Hannibal off in the distance. In their eyes he was like a shadow. And overwhelming force while the massive quake of the ice against the sea shook the island!
"What in the hell was that…" Barbary skidded backwards. His face still beaten and burnt from his bout early against Spice Gal.
"My Haki says its Hannibal." Rhico said. He had a few minor scrapes against his face. But compared to what he had been doing to Barbary. It was night and day.
"Your Haki is that precise?" The Marshal asked.
"No. Yours is just that meager. If you can't even see and sense the presence of one of the strongest men acting so willingly and blatantly. Theres no wonder that you've not gotten any stronger since you became a Marshal." Rhico insulted a man. Angering Barbary
"You're gonna pay for that you Fish Skinned piece of shit!" He leapt forward! His blades coating in black! The equation for speed maxing out to as fast as he could go! "Grand Khan! Decima-"
"Salt of The Sea" Rhicos hand became a glossy black. Shimmering with a pearlescent hue of blue, water forming around his palm!
The moment that Barbary swung! Rhicho dodged to the side! Shuffling his feet in a pirouette to face the side of the Marshal! "Reef Henka!"
Rhico slammed the attack into the Marshal! Water rending his skin! Breaking bones! And the strange energy coating his fist broke his rib cage in a single blow! The Jet Stream propelled him through the air with amazing and awesome force! Crashing through building after building after building! Dust and cement exploding up into the air! Destroying almost a hundred buildings in a single go! Leaving a deep trail of destruction! Exposing both of them to the battlefield as the Fishman defeated Barbary…!
"What the hell was that?!" Quinn asked. Leaning over Bonney as they looked through the Camera broadcasting the War to the rest of the world.
The Jester had made his way into the fortress through the under ground tunnels. And worked his way up to the location where the Broadcaster had access and visual of the entire island and its combat!
Currently. The whole world was in shock but couldnt take their eyes off as Bonney had taken control of the machines! Surprisingly. It seemed like they were getting more information from Bonney than the proper anchor!
"That? That right theres The Rook Leviathan…Rhico. I heard he relinquished his Marshal Status and was Arrested! But here he is! He just beat the Notorious Royal Privateer, Barbary!" The whole world had just witnessed the defeat of the Marshal
"No not that…The Black stuff! And the Water! And all that crazy shit!" Quinn pointed to Rhico's hands. The blackness slowly disappearing
"Oh! That…Ugh. Thats just Haki! And that other stuff was probably Fishman Martial Arts…" He waved it away.
"Haki?" A Reporter on Sabaody asked. Looking to another "That sounds familiar…But what is it? Is it a devil fruit? Or like a fighting style?" Murmurs reverberated through entire crowds of people! All over the entire worlds as they had just been told and shown that the existence of Devil Fruits, and this mysterious Haki was real!
"Haaha…" Zeke clapped "Bon Bon. No way you just did that! You outed something thats been only accessible to the very strong for centuries! Hahaah!" He clapped his hands
"The government wasn't trying to hide that right?" Dahlia asked
"Not that I know of. Same with fruit powers. But given that no one believed it. And Haki is so hard to train and learn! It never became main stream it was kept Isolated! And they couldn't care less if it did!" Zeke smiled
"Wait. Devil Fruits are real?" Danny asked. Finally hopping up from the ground. A quizzical look on her face "No shit! You've seen me use mine! And Bonney hers!"
"Now…Wheres Redsash at?" Rhico whispered to himself. Picking up his pace into a run as the camera panned back to the fighting between the Commanders and Vice Admirals!
The Admiral Candidates Present were wreaking havoc! Hundreds of bodies flying through the air! Poison going flying from Hemlocks Doku fruit! But there were some Vice Admirals, namely Agate, Panthera nad Quarante were severely injured. The top commanders, includind Rowdy Row and Bailey Wall having delivered decisive blows against them!
But..The Redbeards were suffering their own intense losses…Ban and Dye, had been killed at the hands of Vice Admiral Sardonyx.
"Gah!" Polo skid backwards! Landing next to Rowdy! The latter of which had quite a few wounds on him. But his size was even bigger than before! He was one of the strongest crewmates for a reason!
"We need to get over that wall!" Polo said "They Might not see it coming! If I leap over it! I can see if I can shoot past Muromachi and Grab Azar!" He said, face full of conviction.
"Are you sure?" Rowdy was worried. "Yeah I'm sure…But…Maybe Andreas can distract the Vice Admirals! See if he can weaken the wall! And then I can swoop in! And if the wall breaks the rest of you can rush in and I get Azar out of here during the chaos!"
"Okay…Okay…" Rowdy nodded "Do it!"
"Andreas!" Polo screamed! Beginning to run through the crowds! "Get up yeah Iron Giant! Smash through-!"
"That Wall!"
The moment the words reached Andreas' ears. The mech that was currently locked in a grapple with another giant, looked to Polo's position! "Aye Aye, Commander!"
Andreas swung a massive fist through the air! Knocking the giant out cold! He'd been distracting the giant marines to give the rest of them time! But now he had a new goal!
Take down the Wall Obex!
