"DIVINE DEPARTURE!"
"GALAXY IMPACT!"
Shanks released the swing of his blade, and Garp smashed his fist.
The two of their attacks combined and blew all of the Five Elders away!
"SHANKS! GARP!!!" 5x
The Five Elders were filled with rage as they received a sudden attack, but even if they were hit by a powerful attack, they quickly recovered as if nothing had happened to them.
Naturally, the curse of immortality that was given by Im helped them so much that they didn't die, and Shinra also used his Iro Iro no Mi, masking the surroundings with an optical illusion, so their power wouldn't be exposed.
After all, if the Five Elders were exposed as monsters,
"Do you want me to kill them, Sir?"
Shinra somehow appeared on the side of the Five Elders.
"KILL!" 5x
There was no trace of hesitation, and all of them had made their decisions to kill Shanks and Garp!
There was no turning back for those two, and they were on the opposite side of the World Government!
"Okay."
Shinra then disappeared, causing Shanks, Garp, and everyone on the opposite side of the World Government to feel an intense shudder, but it was too late. When he disappeared, nothing could be done, and no one could find him.
Yet, Shanks was different since his Observation Haki had only been developed to the point where he could see the future.
Still, unfortunately.
"I can't find him!"
However, Garp, whose body was strengthened to the limit, saw Shinra, who emerged before him, which made him unable to control his emotions anymore!
"EVERYTHING IS YOUR PLAN, RIGHT?! YOU HAVE MADE ALL OF THIS!? HOW DARE YOU!? YOU ARE SO CRUEL!"
Shinra rolled his eyes as he slashed his blade, cutting Garp's two arms off as his body was blown away.
Who was at fault for this matter?
Wasn't it Garp?
After all, this guy was the one who made an attack on the Five Elders by himself. Why the heck did he blame him?
Did Garp expect that nothing would happen to him after what he had done?
Surprisingly, Shinra could imagine that nothing would happen to Garp since, for the World Government, especially with Im's ability, even if Garp was shitty, he was useful, considering how buggy Im's ability was.
Nika was powerful, but what if he was forced to fight Garp, who was affected by Im's ability?
Then again, Shinra also felt that with Nika's cheating ability, when Nika was forced to fight Garp, who was affected, Garp somehow would recover and then fight alongside Nika.
"DIVINE DEPARTURE!"
Meanwhile, when Shinra was preoccupied with Garp, Shanks made his sudden attack from behind after hiding his presence with the Observation Killing.
With those combinations alone, even if he had one arm, he was still known as one of the strongest, since one blade from his would kill the enemy directly.
When combined with the Supreme King's Haki, the Armament Haki became a destructive attack that could cut off anything in its path!
Only, Shinra could see the future, and simply dodged with the minimum movement, ready to cut Shanks' remaining arm, but—
Bang!
A bullet almost shot him, but as Shinra was forced to dodge, it also gave Shanks a chance to attack him!
At the same time, all the crews of the Red Hair pirates also made their attacks, and Garp, whose arms also started to regenerate also, making a new arms, also rushed toward him, ready to give him a deadly blow!
Surrounded by all directions.
This was Shinra's situation, and if it were someone else, they would be more or less dead, but well, why did he have to dodge, right?
"Break the limiter."
At that moment, the limiters on Shinra's body were broken, and he became ten times stronger. No, hundreds of times, and even further, especially when he had taken away the power of Moa Moa no Mi.
At the same time, he also used his Noro Noro no Mi, making everyone move more slowly.
While some people might have realised his ability was at work, it was too late since Shinra was already cutting Shanks' remaining arm!
Slash!
The powerful slash of the air blade also passed through, cutting all the people behind Shanks, including Benn Beckman, the one who had always shot Shinra with the powerful bullets.
"?!"
Benn tried to run away, but one of his legs was cut!
"Everyone!"
Shanks was stunned, never expecting Shinra to be so powerful!
Garp wanted to help Shanks, but then he saw his grandson, who was affected by Noro Noro no Mi, and being ganged up on by the Five Elders, was in a dire situation, making him stop his movement, hesitating, yet at that moment, this also gave Shinra a chance to give a finishing blow to Shanks!
The sharp blade moved like lightning.
Even if Shanks tried to dodge, it was impossible since he was already targeted, locked, and he could see his future was to be beheaded, yet when such a future was about to happen, a blade blocked this attack!
Bang!
Shinra looked at the man, who stopped and helped Shanks.
Dracule Mihawk.
The strongest swordman was also one of the Shichibukai.
This man should be the ally of the Marines, yet Mihawk decided to betray the Marines to protect Shanks.
Like Luffy, it seemed Shanks' luck was also good.
"Mihawk!"
Shanks, who was saved by Mihawk, was startled, yet was also sighing in relief.
Mihawk was prepared to fight Shinra since, unlike before, he was no longer his cowardly self, and he would show that he wanted to fight Shinra!
Only, when Mihawk thought that Shinra would talk and ask why he would betray, Shinra didn't seem to care much about Mihawk and just made his attack directly!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
By then, hundreds, even thousands, of confrontations had happened between Shinra and Mihawk.
Unlike before, Shinra used his speed to overpower Mihawk as if toying with him.
Mihawk also understood Shinra's purpose, but he was helpless since many of his fingers were lost, and he knew that Shinra had no intentions to talk and Shinra only planned to kill!
Mihawk?
Who was he?
Unlike Shanks, who had the backing of the Figarland Family, or Luffy, who had many powerful grandfathers and fathers, Mihawk had no such people at all!
So—
Burst!
As Mihawk was beheaded, Shinra had already taken away Mihawk's sword, and also Shanks' blade, too.
Shanks wanted to scream, trying to stop everything, but as he had lost his two arms and even his blade, he could do nothing except try to hide his presence, trying to seek a chance for revenge as he was protected by his followers.
Yet, as Shinra was so fierce, as if he were a demon that emerged from hell, ready to pull all of humanity there, the war was about to enter its conclusion, and when it was almost impossible for Luffy and everyone to run away, the storm suddenly became stronger, and a thunder struck the earth!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!
However, along with the sound of thunder, the roar of a young man echoed.
"LUFFYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!"
When everyone thought that everything was meaningless, once again, a miracle happened.
