"What nonsense are you spouting? Today, you Pirates will definitely be defeated by us Marines!"
Although he didn't want to admit it, Sengoku knew that if they didn't defeat the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates today, the Marines really wouldn't be able to leave Marineford.
He knew clearly that the battle on Mary Geoise was much more intense than in Marineford. Without the leadership of top powerhouses, other Marines going to support would be completely suicidal, and it was impossible for the Marines in Marineford to be used as cannon fodder.
But the top powerhouses of the Marine were being held back by the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates, which resulted in the Marine being unable to support Mary Geoise. This was a fact.
To break this situation, they needed to completely defeat the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates!
"Buddha's Light Shines!"
Thinking of this, the golden light on Sengoku's body intensified greatly. Endless golden light gathered on his Buddha's palm, and he ruthlessly struck towards Whitebeard.
"gura rara rara, Sengoku, you're still stubborn. You can never defeat me, Whitebeard!"
"Air Quake!"
Whitebeard laughed heartily, and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was attached to Murakumogiri. He slashed out with a single strike.
The ultimate power of the two collided, stirring up a huge impact that spread in all directions, but this aftermath was much smaller than before.
Whitebeard's destructive power was immense, and Sengoku knew this clearly, so he tried his best to use the power of the shockwave to counteract Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power, preventing the vibration from spreading to other parts of Marineford.
You know, this is Marine Headquarters Marineford. If Whitebeard used his ability recklessly, Marineford might be directly destroyed in this battle.
So Sengoku himself didn't dare to use his full power. If he forced out the power of Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit Awakening, then Marineford would definitely be shattered.
Whitebeard and Sengoku had fought many times, and he also knew that Sengoku was not using his full power now. He was also happy with this and suppressed his strength to fight Sengoku. After all, his original idea was that it was best not to fight if possible!
As the four top powerhouses of the Marine were held back by the Red Hair Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, the other Marines also began to fight the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates.
However, both sides seemed to have reservations and did not fight with all their might.
This resulted in the two sides appearing to be fighting fiercely, but in reality, it was similar to Kizaru slacking off.
The other battlefields between the Marine and the Pirates were also similar. Marines below the rank of Vice Admiral were basically ordered to retreat to the rear.
Only Vice Admiral Marines were qualified to participate in this great battle, but those Marines were facing the elites of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates. Although the battle between the two sides was fierce, they seemed to be very restrained.
Mary Geoise Ruins:
The number of Limitless Pirates Executive Officers was almost twice the remaining top powerhouses of the World Government. Many people directly fought one against two, striving to defeat their opponents in the shortest time possible.
But there were also some who chose one-on-one duels, because they had absolute confidence in their own strength and could defeat their opponents thoroughly with their own power!
"Ten years ago, you were able to escape from under my Father's sword. Today, you won't have the same luck as back then!"
Esdeath held shura sword and pointed it proudly at Carlo Palada in front of her.
"If Nox himself said that to me, I would still be a little afraid, but you are just his daughter. You are far from being able to kill me!"
"Today I will kill Nox's daughter, let him feel the pain of losing his child, and then I will dig out his heart and completely kill him!"
Carlo Palada said angrily after hearing Esdeath's words.
Ten years ago, he represented the Celestial Dragons in the South Blue war with the power of the Paramecia Chaos Fruit, but he was almost killed by Nox.
Since then, he has been training himself frantically and strengthening his power after returning, just so that one day he can take revenge.
But after constant training, he realized that he could never surpass Nox no matter what, and then his goal became to save his life from Nox.
However, now that he saw Nox's daughter Esdeath, his goal changed again. Since he couldn't kill Nox, he would kill his daughter.
As a Father, if he can't even protect his own daughter, then it is imaginable how painful the other party's heart would be. This is his revenge on Nox!
"Ice Kill · Extreme Ice Half Moon Slash!"
Esdeath didn't want to continue talking nonsense with the other party. After transforming into her human-beast form, an endless aura of extreme cold burst out. As shura sword slashed down, the hundred-meter-long ice-white slash carried the power of extreme cold and rushed towards Carlo Palada.
Everything in the path of the slash was frozen. Even the water molecules in the air could not escape the freezing power. In an instant, under the scorching sun, within a radius of several thousand meters in the air, countless snowflakes fell, as if it was not summer, but a bitterly cold winter!
"Chaos World!"
The moment he saw the slash, Carlo Palada's soul couldn't help but tremble. Subconsciously, he frantically activated his ability to create a huge chaotic zone covering a radius of five hundred meters.
He saw that the half-moon slash that was originally rushing towards him, under the influence of the Chaos World, its trajectory actually shifted, and it just happened to pass by him, not harming him in the slightest.
"Using your own chaotic ability to change the surrounding rules? Gravity, magnetism, space, and other basic rules have become chaotic?"
Esdeath knew about Carlo Palada's ability and naturally understood the difficulty of this move. Her Father had suffered some losses under this move back then.
"But let's see how great your ability is, and whether it can affect my extreme cold freezing power!"
An endless freezing power suddenly burst out from Esdeath's body. She held shura sword and plunged it fiercely into the ground.
"Extreme Ice World!"
Suddenly, within a radius of five hundred meters, the area that had become extremely chaotic was completely frozen by this powerful freezing power!
The rules of the World are inherently orderly. Carlo Palada used his ability to make the rules in this area chaotic, while Esdeath used her ability to freeze the rules in this area.
Even though Esdeath did not directly freeze conceptual rules such as space, gravity, magnetic fields, and time, she still influenced these rules with her ability.
This made the cost of Carlo Palada using his Devil Fruit ability to make the rules chaotic greatly increase, his stamina consumption increased sharply, and his ability to change rules became weaker.
The ground instantly caved in under Esdeath's stomp. She herself disappeared in the blink of an eye, but Carlo Palada's Kenbunshoku Haki clearly saw that Esdeath's extremely cold aura had appeared to his left!
This speed was too fast, it was almost to the extreme, so fast that he almost didn't react!
"Ice Kill · Instant Slash!"
Esdeath didn't hesitate at all. The shura sword, which had completely turned black, carried her ultimate freezing power and slashed out fiercely!
After sensing Esdeath's whereabouts, Carlo Palada immediately used his ability to disrupt the surrounding order, forcibly diverting Esdeath's sword edge. At the same time, he quickly dodged this slash.
"Rip!!"
However, he still underestimated the influence of Esdeath's freezing power on his chaotic power. The ultimate freezing power on shura sword froze his chaotic power for a split second, delaying it.
But that split second was enough. Esdeath took advantage of this momentary gap and instantly slashed at his chest.
Carlo Palada covered the frozen, hideous wound on his chest, his face turning gloomy, losing his initial confident and cruel expression.
He originally thought that his continuous hard training over the past ten years had improved his power and narrowed the gap with Nox, and that he would be able to defeat Nox's daughter Esdeath.
But now it seems that either he was too confident, or the other party was too strong!
After landing a hit with one slash, Esdeath didn't give Carlo Palada any chance to catch his breath. She held shura sword and slashed again frantically.
Carlo Palada knew that he couldn't just keep dodging, so he chose to confront her head-on. With his fists covered in Busoshoku Haki, he directly slammed them onto shura sword.
"So cold!!!"
However, the moment he touched shura sword, he was instantly pushed back dozens of meters by the powerful force of shura sword. The most important thing was that his fists were instantly frozen, a freezing that even Busoshoku Haki couldn't block, and that extreme cold aura spread from his fists to his entire body, making him shiver uncontrollably.
Esdeath pressed her advantage and chased after Carlo Palada, slashing frantically with shura sword.
As he continuously fought with Esdeath, Carlo Palada found that the ubiquitous cold aura was constantly invading his body.
It was the cold aura that spread from shura sword through his fists to his entire body. Even if he used Busoshoku Haki, he couldn't completely eliminate this cold aura, only weaken it.
If this continued, when the cold aura accumulated to a certain extent in his body, it would affect his physical functions, making them sluggish, and it would get worse and worse with the passage of time and continuous fighting with Esdeath!
"No, I can't continue like this!"
Carlo Palada knew that he couldn't hold back any longer. Before, he thought he could win without revealing his trump card, but now it seemed that if he didn't reveal this trump card, he might not have a chance to use it!
"Consciousness Confusion!"
When Esdeath slashed at Carlo Palada again, she suddenly found that Carlo Palada's body had shifted. Immediately, her shura sword also adjusted its trajectory and slashed towards the shifted Carlo Palada.
However, what Esdeath didn't know was that in reality, Carlo Palada's body did not shift.
When Esdeath slashed, it happened to slash past the side of the real Carlo Palada.
"What's going on? Why is he fine!"
Esdeath looked at Carlo Palada in great confusion. She clearly hit him and felt like she had hit him, but Carlo Palada seemed to be completely fine.
"Hahahahaha, go to hell!"
Carlo Palada took the opportunity to punch Esdeath.
Seeing this, Esdeath immediately dodged.
"Bang!!!"
However, even though Esdeath clearly saw Carlo Palada's fist hit beside her and not on her body, she was hit squarely in the abdomen!
"Devil Fruit interferes with conceptual consciousness!"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Esdeath's affected consciousness also recovered under the intense pain.
Just now, she thought she wasn't hit, so she didn't use Busoshoku Haki and her ability to defend, which allowed the other party to punch her and make her spit blood. It was precisely because of this mouthful of blood that her consciousness, which was affected by the chaotic ability, recovered.
She had known for a long time that Paramecia abilities developed to a high level could have the power to interfere with concepts, but she was tricked for the first time just now.
When her interfered consciousness returned to normal, Esdeath immediately understood what had happened. She didn't expect this guy in front of her to have developed the Paramecia Chaos Fruit to this extent!
"Hahahahaha, my ability is invincible! Even if that guy Nox comes, he will definitely not be able to defeat me!"
Carlo Palada saw Esdeath, who had forced him to use his trump card just now, being punched and spitting blood. He immediately laughed proudly.
As a Celestial Dragon, it was bad enough that he was defeated by Nox, but now he had suffered a loss in the hands of Nox's daughter. This feeling of revenge was too exhilarating.
However, Carlo Palada was not a fool. While speaking, he immediately counterattacked. He wanted to kill Esdeath completely before she could react!
"Hmph, you just ambushed me, what are you so proud of? I've seen the ability of Paramecia to interfere with concepts before!"
Esdeath snorted coldly. There were many, if not few, people in the Limitless Pirates who had developed Paramecia Devil Fruit abilities to interfere with concepts. She had personally experienced them and naturally knew how to break this move!
"Extreme Cold Freeze!!!"
When Carlo Palada activated his chaotic ability again, trying to make Esdeath's consciousness chaotic, a freezing power from the depths of her soul burst out from Esdeath.
This freezing power's physical level of freezing could not be compared to the previous freezing power, but this freezing power could interfere with concepts, freezing the enemy's consciousness and soul!
To break the opponent's ability to interfere with concepts, the method Esdeath thought of was to have the power to interfere with concepts herself, and then completely freeze the enemy's power. In this way, wouldn't it be broken?
According to what Father said, this method is to use the enemy's tactics against them!
