"Hmph, if you have the guts, don't use this cursed sword!"
Garp said through clenched teeth.
"This is my sword, of course I'm going to use it!"
Nox smiled broadly. At the same time, he mobilized his full power to forcefully pressure Garp. The intense pressure even caused a trickle of blood to flow from Garp's mouth.
After a long stalemate, both sides once again exerted their full strength and retreated hundreds of meters.
After stabilizing his body, Nox showed a bloodthirsty smile on his face. Sword Intent and Haoshoku once again condensed on the Seven Star Sword in his hand, and a blood-colored true dragon coiled around the sword body.
Behind him, a substantial blood-colored true dragon also condensed. The true dragon coiled in the sky, roaring towards the heavens. Its pair of dragon eyes suddenly fixed deadly on Garp in front of him.
"Three Elements Combined Mystery · Overlord Wrapped · Blood Dragon Severing Sky Slash!"
The Seven Star Sword was swung down with full force. The blood dragon wrapped around the Seven Star Sword and the blood dragon coiling behind him merged into one, transforming into a thousand-meter-long, lifelike blood dragon.
The blood dragon roared loudly, and a terrifying dragon might erupted. Its massive body instantly shot towards Garp. Garp was as small as an ant in front of this blood dragon, as if the blood dragon could easily crush him to death.
After stabilizing his figure, Garp completely disregarded his injuries and charged out like a madman, instantly concentrating the power of his entire body onto his iron fist.
"Bone Fist · Meteor!"
Facing the surging, colossal blood dragon, Garp showed no fear. He raised his iron fist and charged forward with a punch!
The tiny iron fist struck the blood dragon's fangs with a single punch, but that tiny iron fist possessed immense power. The power traveled along the fangs to the blood dragon's entire body.
In the blink of an eye, cracks appeared all over the thousand-meter blood dragon, as if it would completely shatter in the next moment.
"Roar!!!"
However, just as the blood dragon was about to shatter, its massive blood dragon body instantly exploded.
Garp didn't expect that the blood dragon cleaved out by Nox could still explode. Caught off guard, Garp was engulfed by the explosion. The terrifying explosion carried infinite Sword Intent attacks and explosion impact.
With the sudden explosion, even though Garp's entire body was covered in Busoshoku Haki in time, he was still blown away, his entire body suffering a violent impact, and he involuntarily spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Nox!!!"
After being blown into the air, Garp quickly stabilized his figure using Moonwalk and landed. He roared in anger and then charged out again. He had been suppressed and beaten all this time. How could he tolerate it? No matter what, he would not allow himself to continue being beaten like this!
"Hahahaha, Garp, you are weaker than me, so you have to suppress any temper you have!"
Compared to Garp, Nox immediately rushed towards Garp after the blood dragon exploded. He did not want to give Garp any chance to catch his breath.
When his speed was pushed to the limit, a blood shadow shot out. The extremely dense blood light on the Seven Star Sword illuminated the entire sky, as if the end of the World, the twilight of the gods, had arrived, and all the gods and Buddhas in the sky were about to fall.
A massive blood shadow appeared behind Nox. That person was exactly the same as Nox, as if it were an enlarged version of Nox.
However, the blood shadow Nox at this moment was like a Shura in the World. No matter what demons, ghosts, or gods, they would be killed by him in front of him!
"Three Elements Combined Mystery · Overlord Wrapped · Slaying God!"
Nox unleashed a sword strike, and instantly the World lost its color. Only the blood shadow on Nox's body could illuminate the human World.
"Bone Fist: Galaxy Impact!!"
Even though he sensed the danger of Nox's sword, Garp still swung out his peak punch with full force without any fear.
In an instant, the ultimate power unleashed by the punch and the sword collided. Countless blood-colored lightning bolts erupted from the collision of the two powerful forces, filling the entire island and the entire World.
The violent shockwave spread in all directions, rushing towards the Sea and creating huge waves of monstrous proportions. Fortunately, the hundreds of meters high waves rushed towards the deep sea.
Otherwise, if such waves came crashing down, countless Marine and Pirate who were engaged in fierce combat on the island would die as a result.
After Nox and Garp were in a stalemate for a moment, Nox mobilized the power of the blood in his body, causing his blood to boil and rise to a higher level. In an instant, an even more majestic power surged out.
He instantly broke the stalemate. Nox, holding the Seven Star Sword, defeated Garp's Haoshoku and forcefully struck Garp's fist.
"How is that possible? His power can still get stronger?"
Feeling the power that Nox erupted with, Garp was shocked. Could it be that Nox's power was endless?
"Crack!!!"
However, while Garp was in shock, the Seven Star Sword instantly broke through the iron fist, severing the tendon of Garp's middle finger. The immense power traveled from Garp's fist to all parts of his body.
This method of power transmission was similar to how Garp's punch earlier almost exploded the blood dragon's entire body. It was a technique of power spreading and transmission.
Garp at this moment felt as if his entire body was subjected to the most violent attack. Instantly, his entire body was in intense pain, and his body was sent flying back over a thousand meters.
"Garp, this time you are destined to lose!!"
Nox suppressed the excessively boiling blood, restoring it to its original level of boiling, and then pursued the victory.
Garp was very strong and had tenacious vitality, but he was not invincible.
Last time, when they fought on the sea, Nox was somewhat restricted, and there wasn't enough time, and Garp had room to escape, preventing him from completely defeating Garp.
This time, during the great war between the Limitless Pirates and the Marine, Garp had absolutely no reason to escape. If Garp escaped and Nox entered the war, it would be a fatal blow to the Marine. Tens of thousands of Marine would die under Nox's sword.
Therefore, Garp absolutely could not retreat this time, which was also why Nox was confident in completely defeating Garp.
"Brat, it's impossible to defeat me!"
White aura emanated from Garp's body. Under Life Return, his injuries quickly healed, and then he roared loudly, showing his blood-stained teeth.
Their intense battle began again, fighting fiercely.
Orazio Island:
Facing the encirclement of the World Government, the Roger Pirates suffered considerable casualties over five days, but they still couldn't break free from the World Government's encirclement.
"Roger, you have nowhere to run, surrender!"
Lieutenant General Bolton, the Army Marshal, shouted while attacking Roger, trying to interfere with Roger's thoughts.
Although the Roger Pirates suffered considerable casualties, the other World Government members they brought suffered even heavier losses. After all, the people the Roger Pirates recruited were all Pirate elites, and everyone's combat power was extraordinary.
"Hahahaha, dogs of the World Government, you are not worthy of making us Roger Pirates surrender!"
"We've been preparing for so long, it's time to release it. With these people from the World Government, they can't stop our Roger Pirates from sailing towards freedom!"
Roger didn't listen to Lieutenant General Bolton, the Army Marshal's words at all. Instead, he burst into laughter, and then his eyes became domineering and unrestrained.
"Buzz buzz buzz!!!!"
As Roger spoke, a violent gale suddenly swept across the entire island. The terrifying storm appeared in just a few seconds, and in just a few seconds, it formed an incredibly huge tornado storm.
The powerful tornado storm had a significant impact even on those World Government powerhouses comparable to Vice Admiral, preventing them from uniting to surround the Roger Pirates.
"Hahahaha, my comrades, now is the time for us to break through!!"
"Let's all rush towards the Oro Jackson. It will take us away from here and towards the free Sea!"
Roger's voice, even the huge storm couldn't cover it, clearly reached the ears of every crew member.
"Hahahaha, I knew the Captain was the best. Comrades, let's go, the Oro Jackson is waiting for us!"
Roger's crew members excitedly rushed towards the Oro Jackson. Even if there were World Government people blocking them in the middle, under this terrifying tornado storm, they would quickly be repelled by the Roger Pirates crew members.
"What's going on? How could such a natural disaster-like tornado storm weather suddenly appear?"
Lieutenant General Bolton, the Army Marshal, looked at the suddenly appearing giant tornado with great confusion.
"Hahahaha, this is called heaven's help. Even heaven is on our Roger Pirates' side!"
With the help of this tornado, Roger's strength greatly increased. Although he couldn't defeat the combined forces of Lieutenant General Bolton, the Army Marshal, and CP0 Chief Langer, he could use the power of the tornado to break free from their entanglement.
"Rayleigh, Gaban!!!"
After Roger broke free from the combined forces of Lieutenant General Bolton, the Army Marshal, and CP0 Chief Langer one step ahead, he immediately rushed towards Rayleigh's direction.
"Netherworld Prison!!!"
Rayleigh understood Roger's shout. The griffin on his sword suddenly erupted with the most powerful force, striking one of the people who were originally attacking him.
"Kamusari!!!"
At the same time, Roger also unleashed his full power, sending the other guy who was attacking Rayleigh flying with a single blow.
Gaban also forced back the top-tier fighter who was Entangled him. After the Roger Pirates' gold, silver, and copper trio reunited, they immediately rushed towards the Oro Jackson with their companions.
Lieutenant General Bolton, the Army Marshal, CP0 Chief Langer, and the others quickly chased after Roger and the other two, but they were quickly forced back by the combined efforts of Rayleigh and the other two, and then successfully boarded the Oro Jackson.
"Hahahaha, dogs of the World Government, we Roger Pirates will not be caught by you!"
After successfully boarding the ship, the ship immediately set sail. With the strong hurricane of the powerful tornado storm, the Oro Jackson was sailing rapidly towards the distance.
Lieutenant General Bolton, the Army Marshal, CP0 Chief Langer, and the other five top-tier fighters could only stop Roger and the other two for a while, but they couldn't stop them for long.
Because Roger and the others had already sailed into the Sea, and three of the five of them were Devil Fruit users, they did not dare to engage in a sea battle with Roger and the others at all.
