Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 338 Within Kuowa~

Before they could say anything more, another mass of lava flowed in the same direction.

"That's Admiral Akainu!!"

Then, a burly figure swept past, treading on moonwalk.

"Vice Admiral Garp!!"

"General Aokiji!"

……

"Marshal of the Warring States Period!!!"

Countless sailors were both bewildered and shocked at this moment.

It's unclear what exactly happened, or why so many of the Navy's top fighters were heading in that direction.

In an instant, everyone's gaze turned in that direction...

When Akainu arrived, Kizaru was already standing in front of him. Seeing this, Akainu's eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously asked:

"Borsalino, what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Kizaru turned his head, looked at Akainu, and after a second of silence, spoke softly:

"I've only been here a short time, and I don't know much more than you!"

Then he turned his gaze forward again, his usual laziness gone, replaced by an extremely solemn expression.

"However... it seems something very serious has happened!"

He could sense that not far ahead, something incredibly terrifying was rapidly approaching Marineford.

Akainu stood beside him, his gaze equally grave as he stared ahead.

If Kizaru could sense it, then he could naturally sense it too.

Then, Garp, Aokiji, and Sengoku arrived one after another and stood side by side.

From then on, all the top combat forces currently stationed at the Navy Headquarters came here.

They all had one thing in common at this moment: they were all staring intently ahead with solemn expressions.

None of the five spoke; they all waited.

Awaiting the impending attack.

Before long, a huge, visible circular shockwave swept toward their location from the distant horizon.

Or perhaps it shouldn't be said that way.

This circular shockwave should have spread in all directions.

Their naval headquarters was located in only a small part of the affected area.

"What on earth is going on?!"

"Why was there such a powerful shockwave coming? And from that direction..."

"It's Mary Geoise?!"

Zhan Guo murmured to himself, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Hahaha... Could it be that Mary Geoise exploded? Otherwise, why would there be such a commotion?"

Garp, standing to the side, burst into laughter.

The people around him were already used to Garp's words.

Garp has absolutely no fear of the World Government, and he constantly mutters that the Celestial Dragons are trash.

They never pay attention to the impact whatsoever.

Previously, Garp was the only one in the entire Marine Headquarters who was so openly arrogant.

Even if others are dissatisfied with the World Government, they won't show it so obviously.

But now—

Several more people have become so arrogant in public.

Unsurprisingly, the extra few were all members of the Canglan Squad.

Their captain is the World Government's honorary sixth star, so what's wrong with criticizing their own captain?

If the captain isn't someone to be scolded, then what is he/she for?

Garp laughed for a while before stopping, then looked ahead at the shockwave that was less than ten nautical miles from Marineford, a smile spreading across his face.

Then it suddenly soared into the sky.

boom--

Terrifying Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki simultaneously enveloped his fist, with black and red lightning flashing around him.

At this moment, his fist was as red as a falling meteorite, radiating terrifying heat.

"Fist bone... Meteor!!"

With a sudden shout, Garp unleashed his terrifying fist forward.

boom--

An incredibly terrifying shock burst forth from Garp's fist, heading towards the incoming shockwave.

The distance between the two is closing at an extremely rapid pace.

Before long, the two impacts collided at a distance of three nautical miles from Marineford.

boom--

A terrifying shockwave exploded outwards; the collision of the two was like a collision between Mars and Earth, unleashing an incomparably terrifying force.

At the center of the collision, the sea area below, extending for thousands of meters, suddenly dipped down, forming a basin.

Then, as the seawater recedes, it creates giant waves hundreds of meters high.

Upon seeing this, Aokiji suddenly stretched out his hand, and a deep blue energy blast radiating extreme cold shot out from his palm, heading forward at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, they landed on the hundreds of meters of giant waves that splashed up, and a shocking scene unfolded.

The enormous wave, stretching for an unknown distance and reaching heights of hundreds of meters, transformed into a massive iceberg the instant the deep blue energy descended.

A terrifying chill emanated outwards, rapidly spreading to the surrounding area, freezing the seawater instantly in its path.

In the blink of an eye, the hundreds-of-meters-high waves, along with the surrounding seawater, were all frozen solid.

"That should provide some resistance!"

Aokiji spoke softly, and a chilling aura emanated from his mouth.

But the next second, he froze.

In the aftershocks of the two terrifying shockwaves colliding, the huge block of ice shattered inch by inch.

Before long, it turned into pieces of ice and drifted on the surging sea.

Seeing this, Kizaru's lips twitched slightly, then he turned his head to look at Aokiji:

"They've really held on for quite a long time!!"

Aokiji: ... ...

Meanwhile, the clash between the two shockwaves not far away finally came to a conclusion.

Garp's shockwave was annihilated, but the power of the incoming shockwave was also significantly weakened, indicating that annihilating Garp's power was a considerable drain on "it".

Faced with the still-approaching but much weaker shockwave, the four people still on the ground did not hesitate for long and stretched out their hands.

The next second, Armament Haki surged forth from their palms like wild horses, forming an invisible giant wall not far in front of Marineford.

A few seconds later, the shockwave finally arrived, slamming into their Armament Haki-clad giant wall.

Boom—

A series of loud noises, like explosions, followed one after another.

But no matter how big the commotion, the massive wall of Armament Haki remained standing there, unmoved.

After a long time, the shockwave finally lost its momentum and gradually dissipated.

Strangely, the vibrations in Marineford barely lessened at all; in fact, they seemed to be getting stronger.

No! It's not an illusion!!

"Look ahead!!"

Zhan Guo suddenly spoke, his tone filled with shock.

Following Sengoku's gaze, the others also slightly narrowed their pupils for a moment...
