Boom!!!
The terrifying galaxy, forged from incredibly powerful Haki, crashed down amidst the Gorosei's shocked gazes.
In an instant, the immense power compressed the air, causing it to explode. The ground trembled incessantly, and countless broken stones were instantly pulverized by the fierce wind it generated.
Garp's full-power attack, Galaxy Impact, was the culmination of decades of training, which had refined his body to an extremely formidable level.
Even though Garp was old now, he could still unleash his power to near-peak condition for a short period of time. That was not a big problem for him.
"This is his true strength?"
This thought flashed through Warcury's mind, who had transformed into a boar, before he was completely enveloped by a blinding light.
After an unknown amount of time, the intense light gradually dissipated.
Observation Haki could once again be released to survey the surroundings.
Nusjuro, who had transformed into a skeletal centaur, was the first to act, a bone-chilling aura climbing up his kitetsu, emitting a cold glint capable of freezing Haki.
"We won't let you escape just like that. Otherwise, where would we put our faces?"
He muttered, his terrifying Haki intertwining with his world-class top-tier swordsmanship. Similarly, an unusual energy was also mixed within it.
The next second, Nusjuro, who had transformed into a skeletal centaur, suddenly opened his eyes.
Eerie ghost flames instantly ignited on the cold gleaming blade of the kitetsu, carrying boundless killing intent, instantly covering an area of two kilometers.
At this moment, whether it was the heavily injured Akainu who was fleeing, or Garp and Sengoku who were still in good condition, they all felt a deadly crisis.
Even though they were several hundred meters away from Nusjuro, who had transformed into a skeletal centaur, it felt as if they would be instantly engulfed by this power in the next second.
Nusjuro, who had transformed into a centaur, exhaled a puff of white air, and the chilling power condensed into ice in the air.
Sengoku, who had transformed into a Golden Buddha, instantly looked terrified. "That is..."
Nusjuro, who had transformed into a skeletal centaur, wielded the kitetsu. His movements seemed extremely slow, yet countless afterimages trailed behind him.
Then—
"Curse Abyss, Beginning of the Ghost Path!"
In an instant, the entire world was enveloped by an extremely chilling power.
As Nusjuro, who had transformed into a skeletal centaur, swung kitetsu, the sky instantly became overcast, and the surrounding temperature dropped to freezing point.
The scorching hot magma, upon contact with this chilling power, actually solidified.
Along with the scattered architectural debris, after being swept by that gray-cold sword energy, they lost their original color.
The hard stones turned dull gray, like ashes, scattering with a gust of wind, as if they had been stripped of their stony attributes, their stony life.
Not far from Mary Geoise, two figures, one pink and one yellow, were rushing at full speed.
It was at this moment that Gion looked up with a shocked expression. She saw a circle of gray-cold aura sweeping out above Mary Geoise. After this aura descended, the entire sky became overcast, as if some extremely ominous and strange entity had descended upon this world.
That peculiar sensation, which made all living beings feel their souls losing their color, swept over them again and again.
Gion's pupils constricted into pinpricks, and she exclaimed in a lost voice, "What's going on? My Haki... it's become very weak, I can't even feel it anymore."
Tokikake, who was beside her, was the same, his face even more incredulous than Gion's. "My Haki too, and I feel like the strength in my body is diminishing."
"Was it that circle of power that just swept over? What exactly was that thing?!"
—
"Hoo... Hoo..."
Having unleashed such an attack, Nusjuro, now in his skeletal centaur form, was panting heavily, sweat constantly dripping from his body. He became extremely weak, as if he could pass away at any moment.
However, the next second, his eyes, which had been gradually closing, actually opened again. It was as if something had refilled him with energy, making him as alert as he was at the beginning.
Thump... Thump...
The ground shook and trembled. Warcury, who had transformed into a beastly boar, crawled out of the ruins. On his head, the originally sunken skull was emitting thick white smoke. Then, it began to rapidly recover at a visible speed.
"I told you, you can't escape."
Warcury, who had transformed into a boar, snorted two white breaths, his gaze coldly fixed on the Golden Buddha in front of him.
Speaking of the Golden Buddha, the originally solemn and radiant Buddha, glowing with golden light all over, now, half of it had turned gray.
With a gentle breeze, the gray parts of the Golden Buddha's body slowly crumbled,
Then turned to dust and dissipated.
Sengoku maintained his palm-outstretched posture, standing stunned motionless.
Just now, he had blocked Nusjuro's attack for Garp and Akainu. But the price he paid was heavy.
"Cough cough!" Sengoku coughed violently.
He could feel that the vitality in his body was rapidly dissipating.
"What kind of power is that... cough cough! It should have been blocked." Sengoku said with some difficulty.
"Sengoku! What are you doing, hurry up and move!" Garp noticed his old comrade's abnormality.
Moreover, his Observation Haki sensed that Sengoku's vitality had become extremely weak.
"What's going on?! That gray power!"
Garp clenched his fists, his face instantly filled with uncontrollable rage as he looked at his old comrade in this state.
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from Garp. At this moment, he was utterly furious.
The surrounding rocks shattered into countless dust particles, and the Golden Buddha's body's light finally could not hold on, beginning to dim rapidly.
Buzz... Buzz...
Under Garp's struggling gaze, the Golden Buddha quickly reverted to Sengoku's original form. However, the gray parts remained stubbornly on Sengoku's body, like maggots on a bone.
Sengoku's cheeks rapidly aged, like an old man about to step into his coffin, his aura extremely weak. He swayed weakly, about to fall to the ground.
Garp quickly supported Sengoku.
Crack!
Under Garp's shocked and angry gaze, the gray parts of Sengoku's body quietly cracked, then turned into countless dust particles and dissipated.
"Sengoku! Your body!"
