Ignoring Garp's fury, Reno struck him down with a bolt of lightning, then turned to look at the seven women, smiling, "Today's Naval Headquarters is no less dangerous than a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. Are you afraid?!"
the seven women shook their heads, their eyes firm.
"Reno, don't worry, we will definitely not hold you back." Nami proudly raised her chin, lightning surging around her body.
"Reno, my swordsmanship has improved a lot recently, you know." Tashigi smiled faintly, black blade shuusui unsheathed with a clang.
"Captain, rest assured and leave the rear to us!" Robin looked down, a dangerous glint flashing in her narrowed beautiful eyes.
She was once hunted worldwide by the Marine and CP agents, with nowhere to turn.
Today, the Queen of Vengeance officially comes online!
"Captain, your enemies are our enemies!"
Doll and Kalifa successively declared their stance.
Reno's will was the direction of their swords.
"Reno, I will make all these hateful guys kneel before my Negatives."
Perona held her small umbrella, making a solemn promise.
To this day, no one who has been hit by a Negativity Ghost has been unaffected.
"Captain, I will not let that Devil Fruit go to waste." Marguerite clenched her pink fists, casting a grateful look at Reno.
On the way, Reno gave Marguerite the newly acquired reward—the Animal-Type, Cat-Cat Fruit, Black Cat Form.
Her strength had ascended to another level.
Looking at the confident seven women before him, Reno nodded in satisfaction.
These were his women.
Under everyone's gaze, Reno controlled the ark maxim, landing steadily in a relatively open area of the battlefield.
After everyone stepped onto the ice, Reno put away the ark maxim.
In an instant, countless fervent gazes fixed simultaneously on Reno and the seven women.
"Reno?!"
Marco the Phoenix hesitated for a moment, flew to Whitebeard's side, and whispered a few words into his ear.
Whitebeard's usually unperturbed face showed a grave expression for the first time.
"Is the news true?!" Whitebeard stared at Marco, asking in a deep voice.
Marco nodded affirmingly, "Pops, it's already a hot topic on Sabaody Archipelago; Ace's younger brother, Straw Hat Luffy, has indeed died at Reno's hands."
Whitebeard fell silent, imperceptibly glancing at Ace on the execution platform, and shook his head, "We'll talk about these things later. The priority now is to rescue Ace."
Marco nodded slightly, said no more, and once again transformed into Marco the Phoenix, dominating the sky.
At the same time, in the Seven Warlords of the Sea area, when Hancock saw Reno land, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and undisguised heart-shaped affection.
"Reno, just do what you need to do. This concubine will unconditionally cooperate with you."
Hancock's slender fingers gently stroked the bat ring on her right hand; she was ready to switch sides at any moment.
"Reno!"
"Reno!"
Garp and Kizaru completely abandoned the Whitebeard Pirates, their tall figures, filled with killing intent, simultaneously charged at Reno.
Their eyes were bloodshot, wishing they could skin Reno alive, tear out his tendons, eat his flesh, and drink his blood.
As everyone looked at Reno and the others with strange eyes—
"As expected of Naval Headquarters, so many powerful auras." Nami sensed carefully, her expression gradually becoming serious.
"Of course, to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marine has almost mobilized its entire force." Reno looked at the situation on the battlefield and said calmly.
Immediately after, Reno activated his Observation Haki, covering the entire Naval Headquarters, searching for his target this time.
It was still quite difficult to find one person on a battlefield of a hundred and fifty thousand people, however—
The next second, Reno's eyes lit up.
In an inconspicuous corner, Navy Captain Hina was fiercely battling a Whitebeard Pirates Members.
Hmm?
That person is...
Reno looked intently, not far from Hina, there was also a tall and beautiful figure.
It was none other than Marine Lieutenant Iska.
In the original work, although she didn't have much screen time, she was one of the true beauties of the story.
Got her!
Reno grinned, a faint smile on his face.
He must have been possessed by the Lucky Emperor today.
In one day, he simultaneously obtained six Devil Fruits, four Marine beauties, and also mastered Advanced Haki.
Feeling good.
Why six, excluding the already recovered Doku Doku no Mi, Combination Fruit, Momo Fruit, and the rewarded Cat-Cat Fruit?
There were also Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Kizaru's Pika Pika no Mi!
Whitebeard was not urgent; with Akainu, the two would eventually be mutually destructive, and he would reap the benefits.
As for Kizaru, that old geezer, his killing intent was almost overflowing; he definitely couldn't be allowed to live.
"Reno, you won't leave Naval Headquarters alive!"
"Hehehehe... Reno, next year today will be your death anniversary!"
Garp and Kizaru quickly charged from different directions.
No one dared to stop them along the way.
Even the Whitebeard Pirates Members, intimidated by their powerful aura, all made way.
They didn't want to suffer an undeserved calamity.
"Reno, die for this old man!"
Kizaru's eyes were fierce; he was a step ahead of Garp, delivering a light-speed kick imbued with powerful laser explosive force, kicking towards Reno with full power.
"Old geezer, you're getting cocky!"
"Thousand Lightning Strike!"
"Sword of the Cliff!"
"Ghost Bomb!"
Several angry voices rang out simultaneously; lightning pillars, slashes, and mini-bombs intertwined in the air, fiercely colliding with the incoming light-speed kick.
Boom!
Accompanied by a huge explosion, the attacks of several people shattered, turning into specks of light and lightning, constantly spreading outwards.
"These... these women are actually so strong?!"
Seeing the three women, Nami, block Admiral Kizaru's furious attack, both the Whitebeard Pirates Members and the Marine elites all looked at Nami and the others with new respect.
Before this, they only knew of Reno's great strength, and even in the previous bounties, besides him, there was only Nami.
They never expected that the women around Reno actually had the capital to contend with an Admiral.
Now it seemed they had been too shallow.
That kick from Kizaru just now, only a handful of people on the entire battlefield could have blocked it.
"Tashigi."
In the Marine crowd, Smoker, puffing on a cigar, stared blankly at the beautiful figure beside Reno, his heart a mix of emotions.
In just a few months, Tashigi's strength had made rapid progress.
Now, even he probably wasn't Tashigi's match.
Smoker chuckled self-deprecatingly; perhaps this was everyone's fate.
"Kizaru, you can't even defeat my crew, and you still want to kill me?!"
Reno looked disdainfully at Kizaru, who had reformed not far away, and continued, ".
"Or did you forget how you lost your right arm?!"
Stung by the jab, Kizaru subconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth.
His injury had already healed, but hearing Leino say that, he suddenly felt a faint ache again.
"Leino, stop talking nonsense, today is your day to die!"
Garp arrived late, his anger barely contained!
He was just fretting about not being able to find Leino, but now it was good, the other party had delivered himself to his doorstep.
Today he would avenge Luffy!
Leino looked coldly at Garp, sneering, "Hehehe, kill the young, and out comes the old."
"Since you miss Luffy so much, I'll send you to see him!"
"Let you two, grandfather and grandson, catch up down there!"
"As for you—"
"Captain, Kizaru is ours!"
Before Leino could finish speaking, the seven women stepped forward in unison.
Fighting alone, they might not be a match for Kizaru, but together, the outcome was still uncertain.
"An ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating yourselves!" Kizaru snorted coldly and flashed forward.
He wouldn't be merciful to women.
"ama no murakumo sword!"
Kizaru pulled out a golden long sword with both hands and mercilessly slashed at the women.
"Old geezer, you really think we're just pretty faces?!"
Nami's body surged with a powerful aura, and her right hand pressed down suddenly.
Rumble!
Rumble!
"Thundering Fury!"
Robin was not to be outdone, unleashing her Observation Haki at full power while striking out suddenly.
"Ten-Bloom Flower · Claw!"
Robin crossed her hands, a flurry of petals danced, and black arms suddenly grew out of Kizaru's body.
"Sword of Judgment!"
At the same time, a giant sword phantom appeared in the sky, slashing down at Kizaru from above.
"Tempest Kick · Hundred-Stage Kick!"
Kalifa's leg shadows were like the wind, kicking continuously, stirring up nearly a hundred vacuum slashes that rushed towards Kizaru one after another.
"Tearing Claw!"
Marguerite transformed into her strongest Human-Beast Form, launching an attack on Kizaru.
"Hehehe, Kizaru, let me show you the power of the Negatives. I've never seen what an Admiral looks like kneeling on the ground."
Perona smiled slyly, immediately summoning dozens of white Negatives that flew towards Kizaru from all directions.
"Sound Soul Explosion!!!"
Doll closed in, her Observation Haki and Armament Haki maxed out. Knowing the true worth of an Admiral, she didn't probe, launching a killing blow from the start.
the seven women cooperated flawlessly, launching attacks almost simultaneously, giving Kizaru no time to react.
"Damn it, they're so troublesome!"
Kizaru's expression changed slightly, his internal Observation Haki frantically warning him.
Before the black arms could break his limbs, he reacted in advance, quickly elementalizing his body and reappearing on the other side.
Looking at the women surrounding him, Kizaru finally put away his contempt.
"Vice Admiral Garp, I'll come help you after I deal with them!"
After throwing a sentence to Garp, Kizaru immediately became entangled in a fierce battle with the women.
He wasn't worried about Garp; he had seen clues during his previous battle with Leino.
Although Leino's teleportation was too tricky, he couldn't do anything to Garp.
As long as his battle here ended, the two of them joining forces, even if they couldn't kill Leino, would at least send him back defeated.
"Leino!"
Garp stared intently at Leino, his eyes bloodshot, like a beast choosing its prey.
With the burst of powerful aura, no one remained within hundreds of meters of Leino and Garp.
Everyone wasn't foolish; once caught in their battle, it would be either death or severe injury.
"Die, old man!"
Carrying the hatred of losing his grandson, Garp instantly vanished from his spot, swinging his iron fist directly at Leino's face.
His combat had no frills.
A simple, unadorned punch, enough to split mountains and shatter peaks.
Even though there was still some distance, the urgent force of the punch had already torn Leino's upper clothing.
"Hahahahaha... Excellent!"
Leino laughed loudly, advancing instead of retreating!
Big Mom's Steel Balloon (Talent), Lightning Body, Observation Haki future sight, Armament Haki: Ryuo, Conqueror's Haki Haki coating!
With multiple powerful attributes, what did he have to fear, even when facing Garp?!
"Old man, go down and join your grandson!"
Leino roared, also throwing a punch, his refined Armament Haki almost solidifying into substance, colliding with Garp's iron fist without showing any weakness.
Boom!!!
With a loud bang, a powerful shockwave roared out, sweeping across the area.
Centered on the two, the hard ice layers collapsed, cracking into deep ravines.
Thump, thump, thump
Thump, thump, thump
A powerful force surged through his fist into his body, and Garp was uncontrollably pushed back several steps, barely steadying himself.
"This… how is this possible?!"
Garp stared at Leino in disbelief, secretly alarmed.
During their last battle, Leino's strength wasn't this formidable.
It had only been a little over a month, damn it, was this kid cheating?!
Garp's expression was solemn, seriously suspicious.
"I don't believe it, old man!"
Garp snorted coldly, launching another killing move, his Armament Haki at full power.
High-density Armament Haki instantly covered his entire body, turning him into a small black figure.
Feeling the powerful aura Garp unleashed, Leino grinned ferociously, his blood boiling.
This was a real battle!
In an instant, his soaring fighting spirit shot into the sky.
"Hahahahaha, Garp, let's fight!!!"
Leino laughed loudly, launching a counterattack, instantly flashing above Garp's head and throwing a punch from a distance.
A powerful punch force erupted, subtly distorting the atmosphere.
"I'm not afraid of you, old man!"
Garp was not to be outdone, not dodging at all, and met the punch with his own.
In a head-on clash, he had never feared anyone!
Immediately after, Leino and Garp engaged in the most primitive fighting style, fist to flesh, wide and open, without any frills.
Their speed reached its peak; within hundreds of meters, all that could be seen were their afterimages.
Often, the shockwave from the previous clash hadn't fully erupted, and the next second, the two would appear elsewhere, engaging in another duel.
Watching Leino fighting Garp blow for blow, whether it was the Whitebeard Pirates Members or the Marine Soldiers, everyone's jaws dropped in shock.
Moreover, from the conversation between Kizaru and Leino just now, it was not difficult to deduce that it was Leino who had cut off his arm.
After reaching all the above conclusions, the entire Naval Headquarters completely erupted!
"Holy cow! Admiral Kizaru's arm was actually cut off by Leino?!"
"No wonder the Marine kept it so quiet; turns out they were afraid of losing face!"
"Is this the true worth of a 4 billion bounty man?!"
"Seeing is believing; even Marine Hero Garp can't gain any upper hand. Leino is truly amazing!"
"Don't even mention Leino; even his women are not to be trifled with. Although it's seven of them working together, that's still Admiral Kizaru!"
"Hahahahahaha... The Marine has truly provoked an incredible enemy!"
"The Marine has really messed with a tough one this time!"
"..."
Looking at the scene before them, countless Whitebeard Pirates Members discussed animatedly, praising Leino while also not forgetting to mock the Marine a bit.
Whitebeard, at the whale ship's bow, his eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his arm and shouted:
"Gurarahahaha! My sons, seize the opportunity, save Ace!"
Whitebeard's voice was like a shot of adrenaline, exciting all Whitebeard Pirates Members.
With a sweeping, disdainful fighting spirit, they continuously pushed forward.
Their goal was only one: Ace on the execution platform!
Looking at the greatly favorable battlefield, Whitebeard nodded with satisfaction.
Even if Leino wasn't here to help them, they were on the same path; their enemies were the same.
With Leino helping them tie down Admiral Kizaru and Garp, two top combatants, the Whitebeard Pirates' pressure was greatly reduced.
Coupled with the Marine's morale being somewhat weakened, now was their time to launch a fierce attack.
"Hahahahaha... My sons, kill all these hateful Marines, save Ace!"
"Tonight, we'll go back and drink to our victory!"
"Charge, save Captain Ace!"
"Hehehehe, Marine, your doomsday has arrived!"
"Let you know the consequences of offending the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"..."
Led by Marco the Phoenix, Diamond Jozu, Flower Sword Vista, and other Division Commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates Members advanced like a broken bamboo, pushing forward nearly a hundred meters in a short time, and the Marine suffered heavy losses for a while.
"Leino, that bastard, had to cause trouble at this very moment!"
Sengoku glared at Leino, his eyes splitting with rage.
The Marine's entire plan had been ruined by him!
