"Six Styles Secret Technique: Maximum Wheel Six King Gun!"
Hermes's beast-like intuition combined with the power of Kenbunshoku Haki sensed the danger behind him. He had already finished gathering momentum before turning around, then spun around and struck with both fists, directly colliding with the Buddha Palm!
The moment his fists collided with the palm, Hermes felt an immense impact force strike his fists. His arms suffered a violent impact, his muscles were even torn by the shock, and his entire body was sent flying back over a hundred meters by the palm strike.
"Hahahahaha, Marine Admiral Sengoku, don't even think about chasing Hermes, take this punch!"
"Eight Impact Fist Secret Technique: Gravity Tiger Cannon!"
Sengoku was just about to pursue his advantage, but Bullet excitedly rushed over from the side. A gravity tiger condensed on his dark fist, and a tiger's roar swept towards Sengoku, forcing even him to take it seriously.
"Buddha Palm!"
Sengoku, like the true Buddha, slowly extended his Buddha Palm. It seemed like a gentle push, but the power contained within was terrifying.
The intense impact force shattered Bullet's gravity tiger, and even the residual waves pushed Bullet's Vajra Titan body back dozens of meters.
"Two Mythical Zoans, what a hassle!"
Sengoku frowned.
He seemed to easily repulse Bullet and Hermes and could easily suppress them, but he knew that even his full-power attack couldn't directly inflict heavy damage on Bullet and Hermes.
Relying on the powerful recovery ability of the Mythical Zoan forms, coupled with these two fighting him two-on-one and not giving him continuous attack opportunities, they could take turns battling Sengoku.
Because of this, Sengoku couldn't defeat them in a short time and was instead held up here by the two of them.
"Hahahahaha, Marine Admiral Zephyr, your opponent this time is me!"
After Ashura Doji landed on the island, he found Zephyr. Back then, he and Chinjao teamed up against Zephyr, but now he would face Zephyr alone. This was the confidence his increased strength over the past two years gave him.
"Hmph, just you alone? Where's Chinjao? Tell him to come along!"
Zephyr saw Ashura Doji appear before him and snorted disdainfully.
"Hahahahaha, this time I'm challenging you to a one-on-one fight, I'm challenging a Marine Admiral to a one-on-one fight!"
Hearing Zephyr's words, Ashura Doji completely ignored them and proudly stated his purpose.
He knew he wasn't an Admiral's opponent right now, but only by challenging an Admiral one-on-one could he truly understand the gap between himself and an Admiral.
"Arrogant Pirate, this time I'll send you straight to Impel Down and lock you up permanently!"
Hearing Ashura Doji's words, even with Zephyr's good temper, he was provoked. Such words were clearly insulting him!
In terms of seniority, he, Zephyr, and Nox are of the same generation. Ashura Doji is merely an Executive Officer under Nox, yet he came to challenge him, a Marine Admiral, to a one-on-one fight. Doesn't this imply that Zephyr isn't even as good as one of Nox's subordinates?
"One Sword Style: Shura Blood Slash!"
Ashura Doji didn't care about all that. shura sword Intent emerged, and the Shura blood shadow behind him filled the entire sky.
The di mie sword transformed into a black sword. With a single slash, the Shura blood shadow followed, and a streak of blood light swept out like a meteor.
"Arm Fist!!"
Zephyr, feeling angry at being so underestimated, covered his fist and wrist with black Busoshoku Haki, exerting his most skilled and powerful wrist strength.
He punched the di mie sword. The intense collision, though not as great as the clash between Garp and Nox, was by no means small. The ground within a hundred meters was completely cracked by the residual waves of the collision.
Ashura Doji felt the powerful force coming from the sword, gritting his teeth and resisting with all his might, but as Zephyr exerted more force, Ashura Doji was still sent flying back dozens of meters by a single punch from Zephyr.
"Hahahahaha, Zephyr, why is your strength so much weaker than two years ago!"
Although he was sent back by Zephyr, and the pain of his injury was real, Ashura Doji was still overjoyed.
Not only because Zephyr's strength was weaker than two years ago, but also because his own strength had increased greatly compared to two years ago, and even more so because he had now confirmed that he had the ability to face this Marine Admiral before him alone!
"Hmph, capturing you and sending you to Impel Down is enough!"
Zephyr snorted coldly and immediately rushed forward.
His strength was indeed weaker than two years ago. After all, having retreated behind the scenes and with his mindset declining, his Haki was gradually weakening. In another five or six years, perhaps his strength would fall out of the ranks of top-tier fighters!
"Hahahahahaha, if you want to catch me, let's see if you have the skill!"
"One Sword Style: Cross Evil Light Slash!"
Ashura Doji laughed heartily. The moment the di mie sword slashed down, a giant cross slash flew out at extreme speed.
"Arm Cannon!"
Zephyr's gaze sharpened. He threw a punch, activating his wrist strength, and like a true giant cannon, he shattered the giant cross slash.
After the three strongest forces of the Marine were held back, the many Pirates of the Limitless Pirates immediately sailed closer to the island and landed.
With the many Vice Captains leading the way, the Marine had no way to stop the Limitless Pirates from landing on the island and could only watch as the Pirates continuously poured off the ships.
"Meteor Volcano!!"
Sakazuki's fists turned into magma, continuously erupting large amounts of magma upwards. The magma then transformed into individual magma fists that rained down from the sky, smashing towards the Pirates.
He didn't dare attack Nox, but that didn't mean he wouldn't attack the other Pirates.
Even if he was only a Rear Admiral, his strength was by no means inferior to those elite Vice Admirals at Marineford, and was even slightly stronger.
"Yasakani Sacred Jewel!"
Although Borsalino kept exclaiming "How scary!", he also flew into the sky. With a wave of his hands, countless golden lights shone and rushed into the crowds of Pirates.
The combined area attack of the two Logia users was like a natural disaster. As the light points and magma fell, they caused considerable casualties among the Pirates.
Seeing this, Vice Captain Marley formed three pairs of white feathered wings from a large amount of feathers behind him and flew into the sky.
"Meteor Feather!!"
With a wave of his hand, countless feathers turned into white streams of light rushing into the sky, intercepting the continuously falling light points.
The feathers looked soft, but in reality, they were exceptionally hard. Even the light points that could easily penetrate steel were blocked by those feathers.
"Limitless Pirates Vice Captain Marley, a Paramecia Feather-Feather Fruit user, how scary!"
Seeing his special move blocked, and by merely a Vice Captain of the Limitless Pirates at that, Borsalino was somewhat surprised. He had thought the person who blocked his attack was an Executive Officer of the Limitless Pirates, but unexpectedly, it was just a Vice Captain.
"Hmph, Marine, since you know it's scary, why don't you just stand still and let me kill you!"
As Marley flapped his three pairs of feathered wings, his flying speed was very fast, and he approached Borsalino in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the feathers that had been blocking the many light points also flew over, surrounding Borsalino, and under Marley's control, began to constrict him.
"That won't do, my life is very precious!"
"Have you ever been kicked by light?"
However, Borsalino didn't resist Marley's feather constriction. Instead, his long leg, shining with light, kicked towards Marley.
"Bang!!!"
The feathers stacked and thickened, forming a solid shield that blocked Borsalino's kick. However, the powerful leg strength still kicked Marley back over ten meters.
"He's a Logia user, no wonder he's not afraid of my feathers!"
Marley watched in surprise as his feathers passed through Borsalino's body.
"I didn't expect this Vice Captain of the Limitless Pirates to be quite capable?"
Borsalino looked at Marley, who had only retreated a dozen meters and was completely unharmed, and praised him.
"Heh heh, don't think being a Logia type makes you invincible!"
Marley sneered, then released another large amount of feathers, forming a vortex that surrounded Borsalino, constricting Borsalino once again.
Only this time, the edges of the feathers were covered with a layer of dark Busoshoku Haki.
Marley had been following Nox since he joined the Rocks Pirates. After more than ten years, even if his strength wasn't comparable to Kano, who became an Executive Officer, it wasn't far off!
"How scary, it's Busoshoku Haki!"
Although Borsalino's tone was light this time, he was exceptionally serious. Busoshoku Haki could harm Logia types, so he didn't dare be careless.
He condensed two energy light waves in his hands and shot them in one direction, instantly forcing back all the feathers in that direction.
At the same time, Borsalino turned into a beam of light and rushed out of the feather constriction range.
"So fast? And a light-type Logia, a bit tricky!"
Watching Borsalino evade his constriction, Marley said gravely.
Such extremely fast Logia users are difficult to deal with unless they make a foolish mistake. Although his flying speed is relatively fast, compared to the opponent, it is still much slower.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
Having escaped the constriction range, Borsalino's hands once again fired a large number of lasers towards Marley.
"Meteor Feather!"
Seeing this, Marley immediately sent the feathers that were originally constricting Borsalino flying towards the sky, blocking the laser rays continuously shooting at him.
Although Marley's speed wasn't as fast as Borsalino's, Marley's Devil Fruit ability combined with the power of Haki was completely capable of blocking Borsalino's attacks.
At this stage, Borsalino's strength wasn't that great. Currently, he was at most only slightly stronger than an elite Vice Admiral.
"This guy's Haki is so strong, I can't break through his defense!"
After several waves of probing, Borsalino said helplessly in his heart.
The battle between the two fell into a stalemate, neither able to completely defeat the other!
On the other side, as Sakazuki's Meteor Volcano fell, a faint blue lightning figure stepped on Moonwalk and rushed towards the sky.
