Chapter 309 - Battle of Marineford Part 3

Luffy brought down his leg with a strong force, striking Akainu on the chest with so much impact that his body shattered through the layer of ice and penetrated the final layer.

"Damn it!"

Aokiji angrily snorted and released even more of his Ice powers, creating another massive layer of ice underneath ice.

"Luffy!"

Suddenly, a roar came from afar. Luffy's Observation Haki triggered before that roar came, but it still took him some time to pull up his leg and turn around.

During this time, Garp flew across the battlefield with a single leap and rushed toward him.

But Luffy didn't do anything. His Observation Haki wasn't just for show. He knew what was going to happen next.

Whitebeard also jumped, and with a single leap, he reached in front of Luffy.

"Guraarara! Garp! Take my punch!"

He said as he smashed his fist against the air, cracking the very atmosphere inside the Marineford.

An extremely powerful force shattered the very ground and air distorted, pushing away everything in its path.

Garp saw this and smashed his fist towards the air.

Bang!

His fist, coated with Armament Haki, tore through the impact and shockwave.

When it was destroyed, there was a that pulled in a lot of air, creating a massive hurricane in the middle of Marineford.

'Damn it!'

Sengoku cursed.

'I shouldn't have kept his presence a secret from the World Government. I was too cautious and afraid of the World Government's ambition.'

'Facing the temptation of a person who traveled through time, they wouldn't hesitate to send their major forces to kidnap this guy. The problem is that if he doesn't return to his time and there could be huge consequences.'

'More importantly, this war would cost lives more than I can imagine. But I have made a mistake. This guy! He is a total beast.'

'With Haki like Red Hair, Devil Fruit mastery like Whitebeard, the only thing he is lacking is durability like Big Mom and recovery like Kaido.'

'I simply have no choice. I have to engage him myself.'

Sengoku thought to himself and spoke to Zephyr.

"Zephyr, watch over the execution! Within two minutes, the broadcast will be cut off. Immediately execute him afterward."

Saying so, he instantly disappeared from the execution platform, leaving stunned Zephyr and confused Ace.

Ace couldn't understand how his little brother became so strong.

Although he had some confidence in himself, he didn't think he could defeat an Admiral so easily.

But his brother not only slammed one of the Admirals to the ground but also fought another one with ease.

If he wasn't feeling the weakness due to Sea Stone chains, then he might have thought he was dreaming.

"Sengoku!"

Luffy instantly sensed the man coming towards him.

This guy was similar to his Grandfather in age and strength. He hadn't fought his grandfather, but he didn't think his grandfather was weaker than an Admiral.

Even at this age, he believed that his Grandfather was equal to an Admiral.

So, there was no way someone like Sengoku, who reached the ranks of Fleet Admiral, would be weaker than Garp.

Not only because of his rank, but also due to his past.

If Garp's opponent was Roger, then Whitebeard and Shiki's opponent was Sengoku and Zephyr.

Sengoku would often fight Whitebeard because of his Devil Fruit having a similar counter to Whitebeard's Devil Fruit.

On the other hand, Zephyr was a perfect opponent for Shiki since he was physically as strong as Garp with a powerful Armament Haki.

Because of this, Luffy spent no time entering his Gear Fourth Form.

In an instant, he transformed into a slender form of his Gear Fourth.

[Snakeman]

[Shockwave]

Suddenly, a bright yellow light shone throughout the Marineford. When everyone looked up, they saw a gigantic Golden Buddha descending from the sky.

[Buddha Palm]

As Sengoku sent a massive shockwave through his palm, Luffy multiplied the number of his arms into hundreds and started punching forward with all of them.

[Gomu Gomu No]

[Hundred Arm Cannon]

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

His fists moved like crazy as they clashed against Sengoku's shockwave impact.

If he let down his guard, those vibrations would reach him and instantly destroy him from the inside.

Their collision sent shockwaves throughout the Marineford. The Marine soldiers started retreating from the battlefield as it was getting too chaotic.

After all, not only were the Admirals fighting on one side, but Luffy and Whitebeard were also fighting the veterans of Marineford.

As their battle started, Garp and Whitebeard instantly caused a lot of damage to the battleground.

On the other hand, Luffy and Sengoku were more focused on hurting each other.

Sengoku's Buddha form gave him incredible defense and offensive ability. On the other hand, his Conqueror was so weak that he could barely use his Advanced Conqueror Haki.

But while Luffy didn't use Gear fifth, his Haki was far superior to veteran, allowing him to stand his ground against Sengoku and even force him down.

Boom!

His hundred fists broke through his shockwave and punched the body of Sengoku several times. Because of his attack, Luffy realized just how strong his defenses were.

They were stronger than Kaido. Kaido's defenses were strong, but his recovery was the one that stood out the most.

Compared to Big Mom's defensive ability, his defenses were nothing.

On the other hand, Sengoku posed a similar type of defensive ability, putting too much pressure on Luffy.

[Gomu Gomu No]

Luffy launched himself into the air, clapped his feet together, and slammed them straight towards Sengoku.

[Battle Spear]

Bang!

His feet went straight towards Sengoku, who used another slap to block Luffy's attack.

And, he did that with rather ease.

As he slapped Luffy's attack, Sengoku sensed a fiery heat coming from the ice.

[Great Eruption]

A large-scale volcano erupted from the ground, and a pillar of magma went straight up.

"Damn it! Sakazuki!"

Sengoku cursed and jumped away. The magma splattered everywhere, and a massive battleship-sized magma expansion rushed toward Luffy.

"Straw Hat!"

Akainu roared as the magma that was the size of a battleship exploded in mid-air.

Even Luffy was caught off guard by this attack. It wasn't that he didn't see it coming, but the range of this attack was too big for him to dodge.

And if he just focused on dodging, he would be injured even more by the attack.

Luffy coated his entire body with Armament Haki and infused air into his bones. The next moment, his arms expanded into battleship-sized before he clapped them together.

[Gomu Gomu No]

[Hulk Clap]

Bang!

The clap released a powerful shockwave in mid-air. The shockwave spread out like a blade and tore through the magma.

But this wasn't an ordinary magma. It was Akainu's attack. Even after being torn apart, the magma kept moving towards Luffy and engulfed him.

"Damn it! This guy is really persistent."

Even though Luffy was covered in Magma, he wasn't hurt. This magma didn't possess any force.

As for heat, it wasn't enough to melt him or even damage him, especially since he was using Armament Haki to cover himself.

Using his Gear Fourth flying ability, he flew away out of the magma. But this time, he was in his Gear Fourth Boundman form.

In an instant, he returned to his normal form and went to Snakeman form.

[Gomu Gomu No]

[Black Mamba]

Luffy launched his punches in all directions, and all of them went straight towards Akainu. Because they were coming from all directions, even Akainu couldn't dodge it.

Not only was his Observation Haki suppressed by Luffy's Observation Haki, but his body wasn't fast enough to counter Luffy's attack either.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The next moment, Akainu was blasted with punches. Each punch struck a different part of his body. Some punches even targeted his little brother.

At this moment, Sengoku appeared behind Luffy and smashed down with all of his strength.

[Shockwave]

He released a powerful vibration from his hand that shook the very atmosphere and engulfed Luffy within it.

Fortunately, Luffy was using Gear Fourth, which increased his defenses by a lot. Of ourselves, it wasn't going to be enough.

Bang!

Luffy saw a horrible future where his face was smashed by Sengoku's punch, so he decided not to turn around.

Hence, his body flung away like a kite with broken wire. As he flew towards Akainu, his Observation Haki instantly sensed danger.

But before he could react, Akainu appeared in front of him. His hand had turned into the shape of a canine animal as he smashed his hand forward.

"Gahhh!"

That claw pierced through his right chest, but Luffy wasn't going to stand down for long.

As Luffy landed on the ground, he started coughing out some blood. He realized that when Akainu used this attack, he left several small chunks of magma inside him.

And, more importantly, Akainu could activate it remotely.

But how could Luffy let Akainu do whatever he wanted?
