Unless you do as you did with Kizaru, sinking him into the sea, it's hard to decisively determine the outcome within a few days and nights.
"Shano."
The Golden Buddha ignored Shano's sarcasm, slowly stood upright, with eyes blazing with fury:
"To brazenly slay a prospective member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in front of me and destroy a Navy Base, such recklessness, such provocation... Aren't you afraid I'll declare the previous ceasefire agreement null and void!"
"Your Navy was inexplicably biting at my heels before, and I just happened to destroy a branch base, and now you can't take it?"
Shano raised an eyebrow, "As for the agreement, isn't that something from the Holy Land? Without the approval of the Heavenly Celestial Dragons, do you have that right?"
Sengoku's breath slightly stalled.
He wanted to retort but had to admit it was true.
The Holy Land's attitude towards the Endgame remains letting it stir up storms in the depths of the New World and then sitting back to watch the tigers fight.
But from his perspective as the "Intelligent General," it's completely unreliable.
Not yet twenty, his strength is equal to the Sea Emperors, no matter how much one overestimates his future, it wouldn't be excessive!
But the commandments of the Holy Land are unyielding, and in the depths of the New World, the Navy Headquarters is unable to reach, only watching as the Endgame gets stronger...
"Come continue the battle, little Shano!"
Sengoku suddenly shouted angrily, his body glowing with golden Buddha light, "This is a duel between you and me! It's unrelated to the Endgame and the Navy, wagering the title of Sengoku Buddha, I'm fighting to capture you today!"
"My goal is achieved, as for a fight with you, old man? Sorry, not interested."
Shano shrugged.
This old thing, full of cunning thoughts, did he really think I was some hot-headed fool?
If Garp suddenly shouted about wagering personal honor and insisted on a duel, he'd believe.
Sengoku?
Hmph, the G-14 Branch is so close to the New World entrance, fly a bit higher and you can clearly see the Red Earth Continent.
If the Navy Headquarters dispatched emergency support, they could be here within a few hours.
This old man is merely trying to stall me and secretly deploy Navy Grand Admirals for encirclement!
"No fun, no fun, I won't fight, I'm leaving!"
Shano waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Stop!"
Sengoku's forehead veins pulsed, angrily roaring, the golden Buddha palm slammed again, "You think you can come and go as you please here?"
"Otherwise?"
Shano laughed heartily, with Supreme King's aura suddenly condensing in his leg, he turned suddenly and kicked out, the kick entwined with black-red lightning clashed loudly with the Buddha palm!
Boom!
A violent shockwave exploded waves on the sea surface, Sengoku groaned, retreating over ten meters.
Upon looking up again, across the vast sea, where was Shano's trace?
"Damn it..."
Sengoku gritted his teeth, full of unwillingness and annoyance.
And when his peripheral vision caught sight of the red airship drifting away in the distance, he was even more furious...
——————
The following days.
The news of Marshall D. Teach's death swept across the vast sea like a hurricane.
People hearing the news were bewildered, asking around who exactly was Teach...
Indeed...
Even the most formidable, frightening characters get the same treatment as any unnamed nobody when they die early.
No one cares who this person was or why he was protected by the Admiral or pursued by the Sea Emperor.
Vaguely knowing this guy seemed to be a traitor fleeing from the Whitebeard Pirates, about sums it up.
Thus, Teach as one of the event's main figures, was quickly overlooked.
What people eagerly discussed and spread far and wide, was still that Sea Emperor Shano, who fiercely invaded the Navy G-14 Branch to hunt down this person and clashed with Sengoku.
Although the duel between the two had no decisive winner.
But the result, already lived in people's hearts.
Teach, protected by the Navy, died, the base fortress building was destroyed, and Shano?
Nothing happened, as if he attended a banquet, ate his meal, and casually returned to his territory.
While the Navy, faced another disgrace...
————
Several days later.
"Ah, finally refreshed!"
On the Endgame early in the morning, having taken a lazy sleep, Shano woke up comfortably, casually opened the trade market, smiled contentedly.
After a whole month.
It was finally time for his third favorite buying spree again!
