Chapter 356: Empress: Is This What Marriage Is Like? (Fourth Chapter)===
The destruction caused by the meteor's impact was astonishing.
"Boom!"
When Fujitora's summoned meteor struck the ground, the deafening roar echoed across the entire sea.
Immediately after, a violent shockwave erupted from the impact point, surging wildly in all directions.
It was as if a super missile had exploded!
If it weren't for the main Marine battleship being large enough and Fujitora's summoned meteor being relatively small, perhaps the remaining Marines would have all perished!
When the smoke and dust cleared.
A large section of the Shabaody Archipelago's shore was gone.
A massive crater was filled with surging seawater.
Many Marines, who had been thrown off balance by the shock, were astonished by the destructive power of the meteor.
"Too... too terrifying..."
"Where's Mondo? Was he eliminated?"
"He should be eliminated. No one could survive such an attack."
"It's finally over..."
"Yes! It's finally over. Fighting such a monster truly makes one feel helpless!"
...
The surviving Marine soldiers celebrated one after another.
At this moment.
Akainu suddenly ordered: "Personnel below Vice Admiral, immediately board the ships and return to Headquarters."
The Marines were slightly stunned upon hearing this.
"Is it over?"
"No, if it's over, why isn't the Fleet Admiral leaving with us?"
"Could it be that monster... isn't dead yet?"
Ordinary Marine soldiers didn't possess Observation Haki, so they couldn't sense Chen Ye.
However.
Akainu and the others, all of whom had strong Observation Haki, sensed Chen Ye almost immediately when he teleported away.
"What kind of monster is this guy?"
Garp's gaze swept across the sea.
Since the battle with Mondo began, Mondo had already displayed five or six abilities.
Divine Palm of the Buddha, Flames, Telekinesis, Lightning, Trident...
This didn't even include Haki!
Now, the ability to teleport has also appeared...
With such a monster, Kizaru's defeat at his hands was truly no injustice at all.
"How terrifying!" Fujitora murmured to himself.
Akainu suddenly said, "Issho, try to use meteor attacks as little as possible. They can cause friendly fire... Also, if you destroy this island, we'll be even more disadvantaged fighting in the open sea!"
"The Fleet Admiral is right, I will be careful."
Only then.
Did those ordinary Marine soldiers finally spot Chen Ye.
"Mondo... that monster isn't dead yet!"
"H-how is this possible? How did he get that far?"
"It's the ability of instant transmission! I heard that ten years ago, when Mondo killed a Celestial Dragon at Headquarters, he also used instant transmission to escape the Marines' pursuit..."
"This guy... he's truly terrifying!"
"When will this finally end?"
"Hey, don't just stand there. Quickly follow the Fleet Admiral's orders and return to Headquarters."
...
A group of Marine soldiers, in a flurry, began to maneuver their main battleship to bypass Chen Ye, intending to leave.
Chen Ye had no intention of wiping out these small fry and let them leave.
Chen Ye's attention was focused on the three individuals on the shore!
These three were the top powerhouses in the world of pirates!
If he could keep these three today, then his name would truly become famous throughout the world!!
"Hancock, you should leave quickly too; it'll be very dangerous to stay here."
Chen Ye warned, then drifted across the sea towards the island.
On the main ship of the Kuja Pirates.
Upon hearing Chen Ye call her name again, the Pirate Empress couldn't help but gasp, then cupped her beautiful face with both hands, her eyes filled with adoration, falling into a state of extreme infatuation...
"Senior Mundo called my name again. Could this be... marriage?"
Her younger sister, standing nearby, couldn't bear to watch her sister's infatuated behavior.
"Sister, Senior Mundo has already gone far. Let's go too!"
"No! We'll wait here for Senior Mundo to return..."
...
Meanwhile.
A massive marine fortress was currently surrounded by the Whitebeard Pirates, and a battle was underway.
This was the world's greatest prison: Impel Down!
Impel Down's exterior was a colossal tower-like structure, with its foundation deep underwater. What was visible above the surface was merely the tip of the iceberg.
Imprisoned here were either heinous criminals or those with immense power.
Fire Fist Ace was confined within its walls...
Naturally, the Whitebeard Pirates were currently battling the Impel Down guards!
At this moment, Whitebeard stood on the deck of the Moby Dick, observing the battle between his "sons" and the Impel Down guards.
Although his sons were powerful, the combination of Aokiji and Magellan was also formidable.
Especially Magellan!
This guy was a Paramecia-type Poison-Poison Fruit user, known as the Poison Man.
He could release extremely potent poisons, almost guaranteeing death upon contact.
Magellan had also brought immense trouble to the Whitebeard Pirates.
Seeing that his sons were unable to breach the defenses, Whitebeard, who had not yet made a move, suddenly roared:
"My sons, stand aside!"
As soon as his voice fell, Whitebeard suddenly clenched his fists and then slammed them violently into the empty space on both sides.
"Crack!"
It sounded like glass shattering.
The surrounding air, like a mirror, was shattered by Whitebeard's fists, creating cracks.
The cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb.
The next moment!
Intense vibrations appeared.
The ground shook, and the sea boiled!
Whitebeard's single blow caused the entire space to tremble.
Immediately after, the sea split open, triggering an even more terrifying consequence... a massive tsunami appeared!
Two gigantic tsunamis rose from the sea level, one on the left and one on the right, rushing towards Impel Down, sandwiching it in the middle.
These two tsunamis were no smaller than the ones Chen Ye summoned, and their power was astonishing.
The Impel Down guards, seeing such terrifying attacks, instantly despaired!
At the critical moment.
It was Admiral Aokiji who stepped forward.
Aokiji leaped up, soaring into the sky like a bird.
"Ice Age!!"
Aokiji's loud roar echoed across the entire plaza.
From Aokiji's palms, two freezing rays shot out, directly hitting the tsunamis on both sides.
A super spectacle appeared!
The incredibly powerful tsunamis rapidly solidified into ice at a visible speed.
In just a few breaths.
The two massive tsunamis were frozen on the sea surface, becoming enormous ice sculptures.
