Orochimaru's smile grew richer, his eyes narrowed as he looked at Aokiji: "When we are defeated, reinforcements will naturally appear..."
"If we win..."
Orochimaru's gaze swept over everyone present, chuckling as he continued: "Probably won't need him to make a move then, right?"
"Mere sand grains..."
Uchiha Madara's eyes were arrogant, not caring at all about fighting all the top-tier powers on this ocean, he said coldly: "It would be best if someone could dance in front of me..."
"Someone has moved."
Senju Tobirama suddenly spoke, interrupting the conversation.
Tobirama's perception was exceptionally keen; his Observation Haki and Chakra perception blended together, allowing him to sense every movement around!
The atmosphere here was too oppressive...
Outside, the Navy could still restrain themselves due to military discipline and orders, but some of the pirates were already restless; they had little sense of discipline!
The first to make a move was a Great Pirate from the New World, bold and unafraid, he released his Supreme King Haki directly towards Black Island!
The Supreme King Haki of the New World was as numerous as river carp, and among them, there were some strong contenders who, with their high self-esteem, couldn't endure being left out like this; they wanted to challenge the renowned Konoha!
However...
This Supreme King Haki was quickly bounced back by Black Island!
"What a joke!"
The first to strike was Boa Hancock!
Hancock's body suddenly emitted a burst of Supreme King Haki, forcefully crushing the enemy's probing attack back, her voice reverberated from Black Island!
"Does such Haki dare to be presumptuous in front of Konoha?"
This...
Was truly underestimating Konoha!
Boa Hancock had been with the Konoha Pirates and had high standards for Supreme King Haki, she constantly strived to keep up with the strong members of the Konoha Pirates, naturally, she wouldn't regard those who couldn't even approach her Supreme King Haki!
In fact...
Boa Hancock's strength was notable, the former Seven Warlords of the Sea were not weak, it's only on the Konoha Pirates' ship that she was not quite highly ranked...
Now, facing others' provocations, Boa Hancock remained unconcerned!
Boom!
As Hancock repelled an assault of Supreme King Haki, another wave of Supreme King Haki spread towards Black Island!
A group of Great Pirates from the New World perceived Hancock's counterattack, they ceased probing and unleashed all their Supreme King Haki at once!
Hancock's Supreme King Haki began to falter!
"I thought Konoha was some big name..."
The pirates could all perceive Hancock's Supreme King Haki retreating, immediately mocking loudly, many pirates even whistled.
"Captain!"
"Quickly rush onto the island and deal with that bunch!"
"Seems they're not as strong as we imagined!"
"Hmph..."
With Madara's muffled sound, a terrifying surge of Supreme King Haki suddenly erupted from Black Island, crushing the waves of Supreme King Haki that were attacking them!
However...
This also quickly provoked a counter from the pirate side!
The ocean's strong ones had realized this was Madara's Supreme King Haki!
The move from the vice-captain of the Konoha Pirates made the real strong ones on the sea unable to ignore anymore!
Edward Newgate, Whitebeard, and Red-haired Shanks also exploded with their Haki, their black and red Supreme King surged towards Black Island like flowing clouds!
The Navy was not peaceful either.
With the pirates and the Konoha Pirates exchanging Supreme King Haki clashes, the strong among the Heavenly Celestial Dragons instantly released their Supreme King Haki as well!
The sky was immediately covered with dense black and red arcs, numerous Supreme King Hakis from different factions started squeezing and colliding with each other, torrents surged up like rolling clouds, with lightning constantly traversing the skies!
At this moment...
The entire sky seemed to crack open like a beehive!
No one wanted to retreat in this battle of Supreme King Haki!
Because, on the ocean, the clash of Supreme King Haki is the easiest probe, once you can suppress your opponent in Haki, the actual fight becomes much easier!
As the collision of Supreme King Haki in the sky continued, the impact swept through everything around, the calm sea gradually rose with massive waves!
However...
Everyone still did not retreat!
Yet, amidst the area of Supreme King Haki clashes, the Konoha Pirates slowly started to fade back, Madara and Senju Hashirama's Haki could withstand the siege from both pirates and Navy, but they couldn't manage a complete crush!
Crack...
The air was suddenly torn apart by the black arcs!
Rumble rumble!
Lightning erupted in the sky, accompanied by this sound, countless ripping sounds from colliding Supreme King Haki filled the air!
At this moment, the sky looked as if it was jointly torn apart by everyone's battle, dense air cracks continued to tear open the heavens!
"Does it require my involvement?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya slightly raised her head, looking at the Haki squeezing and clashing in the sky, black arcs and tangible Chakra gradually appeared around her!
