Listening to Sengoku’s words, Allen felt disgusted.
To translate that, it meant: “I can’t beat Rocks, but taking care of you is no problem.
I’ll capture and lock you up first, and after we take down Rocks, I’ll see if I feel like letting you out.” Seeing the smug look on Sengoku’s face as if he had him in his grasp, Allen felt a surge of anger.
“If you can do it, then come and try, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!” “One Sword Style: Caressing Slash!” Allen unleashed a sword wave that headed straight for Sengoku.
Sengoku unleashed a shockwave that blocked the sword wave.
“It’s useless, kid.
From the moment you stepped onto this port, your fate was already sealed.” “Is that so?
Then try this: Gravity Slash: Qilin!” Allen coated his Snow Goose with Armament Haki and swung his strongest sword strike yet, adding gravity in the same direction as the sword wave.
The nearly fifty-meter-long sword wave carried the momentum of an army-breaking force, transforming into a Qilin and charging forward toward Sengoku.
Watching the incoming sword wave, Sengoku said in shock, “What?
You can already unleash an attack like this?
It’s not at all weaker than a Great Swordsman like Golden Lion.” Of course, Allen had not yet reached the realm of a Great Swordsman; he had simply used his Devil Fruit to significantly enhance the speed and power of his slash, making it appear as if it possessed the might of a Great Swordsman.
Sengoku didn’t dare to be careless any longer, gathering all his strength to attack the sword wave.
“Buddha’s Angry Fist!” The golden Great Buddha’s right fist, coated in Armament Haki, met the sword wave.
With a deafening explosion, golden light erupted, and the spot where Allen and Sengoku clashed was immediately shrouded in a cloud of dust.
The intense commotion also attracted everyone’s attention.
Whitebeard punched Garp’s fist away and looked over as well.
He had noticed Sengoku from the moment he appeared.
Knowing Sengoku’s strength, he couldn’t help but feel a tightening in his chest.
His and Garp’s strength were evenly matched; if they wanted to take each other down, they wouldn’t be able to decide a winner without fighting for three days and three nights, but no one else had the strength to hold back Sengoku.
After a while, the dust settled, and the two appeared in everyone’s view.
Sengoku was in his transformed state, making it impossible to tell if he was injured, while Allen looked uninjured, but his heaving chest showed that the previous attack had consumed a lot of his stamina.
Sengoku’s eyes were filled with unprecedented seriousness.
“I’m more convinced than ever that I must keep you here today, brat.
I’ll ask you one last time: are you going to lay down your sword and join the Marines?” Allen panted heavily.
“As expected of a pillar of the Marines, your strength is truly formidable.
However, joining the Marines is out of the question.
I don’t have the habit of being a traitor.” “Hmph, stubborn fool.
Take this: Buddha Impact!” Seeing that Allen wouldn’t learn his lesson until it was too late, Sengoku unleashed another shockwave at Allen.
Allen didn’t try to block it head-on.
He used Geppo, adding gravity in the same direction, and easily dodged the attack.
“I’m indeed no match for you right now, but it won’t be that easy for you to take me down.” Saying this, Allen controlled the gravity around him to point upward, rising high into the sky.
Watching Allen, who was nearly a hundred meters above his head, Sengoku’s face immediately darkened.
“Damn it, he actually has flight capabilities.
This is going to be troublesome.” Seeing Allen in the sky, Whitebeard’s worry instantly turned into joy.
“Gurararara!
Garp, it seems Sengoku’s plan has failed.
He can’t do anything to Allen.
What do you intend to do now?” Seeing this, Garp also stopped punching and picked his nose.
“That’s not a problem I need to worry about.
My mission is just to hold you back.
How about we just sit down for a while?” The rarely serious Garp, seeing Sengoku’s miscalculation, felt the spirit of slacking off reignite in the depths of his heart.
Sengoku shouted at Allen in exasperation, “Shameless brat!
What kind of hero flies in the sky?
Come down and fight me to the death!” Allen was completely speechless upon hearing this.
“You old geezer, do you have no shame?
You’re middle-aged, and you’re coming here to bully a minor like me?” “Cut the crap, come down!” “You come up!” “You come down!” “Coming down is impossible.
If you have the ability, come up here!” Sengoku felt a surge of irritation as he looked at Allen in the sky.
This mission was supposed to be about wiping out the entire Whitebeard division, so how did it end up with him playing tag like this?
With a thought, Sengoku gave up on dealing with Allen and charged toward the rest of the crew members instead.
“Damn it, this old geezer is truly shameless!” “Sengoku, how dare you?!” Whitebeard and Allen were both filled with anger when they saw Sengoku’s actions.
But when Whitebeard tried to attack Sengoku, Garp blocked his path.
“Move aside, Garp!” Whitebeard shouted anxiously.
“That won’t do.
If I let you pass, I don’t know when I’ll be able to take a vacation again.” Garp stood firmly in front of Whitebeard, not taking a single step back.
In a short while, Sengoku had already rushed in front of several members of the Second Division, raising his palm to unleash a shockwave.
The members of the Second Division were terrified when they saw Sengoku, but they had no choice and prepared to block the hit with their weapons.
Just then, Duke raised his gun and fired three shots at Sengoku’s head.
Because the bullets were coated with Armament Haki, Sengoku didn’t dare to take them head-on in his haste.
Using Observation Haki, he turned and dodged the bullets.
In this short moment, several members of the Second Division successfully escaped from Sengoku’s hands.
“Thank you, Captain!” The members, having survived the ordeal, thanked Duke.
“Damn it, then I’ll start with you, Duke!” Sengoku turned and charged straight toward Duke.
Seeing this, Duke fired a few more shots at Sengoku, but this time Sengoku was prepared, coating his hands with Armament Haki to block the bullets.
In an instant, he reached Duke and struck at him with his palm.
Seeing that something bad was about to happen, Allen controlled his gravity to charge toward Sengoku, preparing to save Duke.
However, he didn’t notice the triumphant smirk on the corner of Sengoku’s mouth.
“I was waiting for this!
Attack what must be saved; you’re still too young, kid!
Buddha Impact!” Sengoku suddenly changed direction, unleashing a massive shockwave with his palm toward the direction Allen was charging from.
Allen, unable to dodge in time, took the shockwave head-on and was sent flying a hundred meters away, crashing directly into the Marine base building.
With a loud boom, half of the building collapsed under Allen’s impact.
“Allen!” “Kid Allen!” “Captain!” Whitebeard and the crew members were filled with rage.
Whitebeard was even more furious; he plunged his Murakumogiri into the ground, preparing to unleash the full power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to sink the entire Marine branch into the seabed.
“Whitebeard, if you recklessly activate your ability, your own members will be affected too,” Sengoku said to Whitebeard with a playful expression.
Whitebeard’s raised hands paused, and he fell silent.
“Damn it, he’s actually using us to threaten the boss.
Despicable Marines!” The members cursed angrily upon hearing Sengoku’s words.
Little did they know, it was purely because they were in the way.
“Cough, cough, cough…
That was close.
Fortunately, I activated the Gravity Ring at that moment.
Otherwise, even if I didn’t die, I would’ve lost a layer of skin.” Hearing the sound, everyone looked into the distance.
A boy with tattered clothes and covered in blood walked over; it was Allen.
“Great!
Captain, you’re alright!” The crew members were instantly overjoyed, and Whitebeard and Duke also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Which eye of yours saw that I was alright?
It hurts like hell, okay?” Allen muttered speechlessly.
