Chapter 461: The Great War Breaks Out
Chapter 461: The Great War Breaks Out
Redfield spotted the opening and stepped forward, unleashing a terrifying thunder dragon straight at Admiral Aokiba’s blinding white holy light. The two energy blasts collided in an instant, erupting into a dazzling glare. Shockwaves rippled out in circles, accompanied by a roaring boom that echoed far and wide.
The aerial fleet in the sky drifted backward from the force, while the naval ships on the sea bobbed wildly in the churning waves. The battlefield’s tension exploded in that moment.
White Horse Aokiba, Zoan-type Mythical Beast: Horse-Horse Fruit, Pegasus form!
A legendary divine beast, a step above the Mythical Horse-Horse Fruit’s Pegasus form. It came with innate holy light attacks that countered darkness-based powers.
Though it clashed with Devo’s horned devil form, the two of them were actually on great terms privately!
Navy Fleet Admiral Kurotaka had long planned to promote Golden Buddha Sengoku to the next admiral spot. Once Kong got bumped up to Fleet Admiral, they’d form the new trio of mythical beast admirals.
The generation after that would be the three body technique masters: Blood Hand Braille, Iron Fist Garp, and Black Arm Zephyr. But that was all just Kurotaka’s dream—hard to pull off. He even had ideas about grooming a trio of natural-type admirals.
He knew the Five Elders’ vault held one or two powerful natural-type Devil Fruits, stashed away for a true monster-level marine who was loyal enough to earn that top-tier power!
"Yo ho ho~! Let’s do this, crew! It’s war!!!"
Brook let out a furious roar, his Conqueror’s Haki surging wildly. With a wave of his right hand, a massive Gate of Death rose up in front of him, rumbling ominously!
"Thud, thud, thud..."
A solid army of ghosts charged out, cascading like a waterfall through the air toward the naval fleet on the sea below.
"Snahaha!! Face my judgment!"
Golden Lion Shiki’s manic laughter rang out as he raised his right hand high, fingers flicking. Islands plummeted from above the clouds, shattering through the white mist as they hurtled toward the navy ships!
"Gurarara! Take this tsunami too!"
Whitebeard Newgate powered up his right arm, swelling it massively before slamming a punch into the air ahead. The sound of shattering space echoed, and the entire ocean flipped like the world was turning upside down—splitting into chunks as massive tsunamis surged in from all sides.
"There it is! Captain Shiki’s mountains!!"
"Newgate’s tsunami is back!"
The crew members from each division watched their captains’ apocalyptic attacks with excitement. This was the raw power of an overlord pirate crew.
The Four Lunarians, like Arber, stared in awe at the doomsday-level assault. They craved that kind of strength too—it would let them finally get revenge on the Celestial Dragons!
"I’m gonna get a Devil Fruit power like that someday!!!"
Beast Kaido eyed the top officers unleashing their might, his eyes burning with envy and hunger. He wouldn’t fall short of any of them!
Oden Kozuki was experiencing this kind of terrifying war for the first time. His gaze locked onto the sea below, hands trembling on his swords—not from fear, but excitement. This was the real war of the open seas!
"It’s not over yet—Redfield-sama is making his move!"
A thunder pillar dozens of meters wide shot down like a heavenly white jade column, piercing sky and earth as it slammed into the lead admiral’s warship.
"Mama! My turn!"
Charlotte Linlin gripped her Blade, with Thundercloud Zeus and Sun Prometheus fused onto it. In a flash, she fired off a blinding spiral sword beam crackling with fire and lightning, aimed right at the naval fleet!
The crew on the aerial fleet cheered wildly. This was the Hell Pirates’ opening salvo—could the navy handle it?
"This is gonna be a pain!!"
’Crack!’
Garp smacked his fists together, letting out a sharp bone-cracking pop. He leaped skyward, the bow of his navy warship dipping deep into the sea from the sheer force. Even Beast Kaido’s eyes narrowed at that raw power!
"Ahaha! I’ll use these islands for punching practice!"
In midair, Garp’s arms bulked up several times over, his body erupting with potent Armament Haki. His pitch-black limbs, wrapped in overflowing external Haki, formed what looked like invisible gauntlets dozens of meters wide.
"Boom!!"
"Thud, thud, thud..."
Countless pirates and marines had never witnessed this kind of explosive, brutal artistry. Vice Admiral Garp was actually shattering Golden Lion Shiki’s islands one by one with bare-fisted punches in the sky.
"Shishishi~"
Admiral Aokiba transformed into his mythical Pegasus form, bursting with purifying holy light that clashed head-on with Redfield’s thunder pillar.
"Black Arm!"
Zephyr leaped high, his terrifying Armament Haki coating his right fist. He smashed straight into Charlotte Linlin’s thunderfire light sword, blasting the fearsome beam apart with raw force!
Admiral Candidate Blood Hand Braille relied on his pair of crimson palms to unleash impact waves a hundred times fiercer than Rankyaku, slapping back the rolling tsunamis!
From the naval fleet, a barrage of flying slashes whistled out, carving the tsunamis apart. This was the might of the navy’s elite forces!
Meanwhile, Brook’s ghost army rampaged unchecked, slaughtering the lower-rank marines like they were nothing!
"Use Armament Haki to defend!"
Black Arm Zephyr shouted in frustration. As long as your Haki was strong enough, you could block any Devil Fruit power. He casually obliterated a ghost with one blow!
If you poured in enough potent Haki, you could even shake off effects from Devil Fruit abilities you’d already been hit with. But not every marine had strong Haki—without at least captain rank, you didn’t even qualify to learn it!
This wave was just the Hell Pirates’ greeting attack. The real close-quarters brawl hadn’t even started yet!
This was the terror of an overlord crew dominating the New World. Taking on even one required the full might of Navy Headquarters—let alone two!
"Yo ho ho! That Pegasus power’s not bad!"
Brook drew his near-divine artifact, the Seven Star Sword. It was time to make it famous worldwide. He charged straight at Admiral Aokiba!
The war ignited in an instant, exploding into full chaos!
Redfield turned into lightning, rushing at Blood Hand Braille. His supreme-grade sword thrust out amid thunder, wrapped in Conqueror’s Haki, aiming for a one-shot kill!
Whitebeard Newgate leaped right off the aerial fleet, smashing down with a overwhelming punch that sent even the unstoppable Garp plunging into the sea. His supreme great sword Murakumogiri followed up with shockwave slashes, blasting massive waves across the ocean.
Golden Lion Shiki swung his enhanced great swords at blinding speeds, clashing with Black Arm Zephyr. It was a high-speed duel of twin blades versus twin fists, sparks flying as impact echoes rang out nonstop!
Charlotte Linlin dove toward the navy to steal souls, but two elite Headquarters Vice Admirals blocked her path, foiling her plan. Furious, she unleashed her monstrous strength and rage on them!
