Above the void.
Borsalino wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart filled with awe.
If he hadn't run fast just now, this sword would have undoubtedly dismembered him.
Even though he knew of Li Chungang's terror, seeing the torn clouds still made Yasuo incredibly envious and shocked.
If only he could do something like this, how wonderful it would be.
"Glint-Glint Fruit?"
"This speed is not bad."
"How about facing another sword from me?"
Li Chungang's voice echoed above the floating island.
Simultaneously, a sword energy approached from afar.
The moment Borsalino heard the voice, his hairs stood on end.
Run!
This thought came without any hesitation.
However, Li Chungang gave Borsalino no chance.
The sword energy was already upon him, and all he could do was resist with all his might.
Boom!
The World Government forces, who had already taken action and were working to destroy the bomber, heard a roar in their ears.
Following that, they saw a golden light descend from the sky.
The ground vibrated violently, and Borsalino's body was heavily slammed onto an iceberg.
The residual power of the sword energy remained undiminished, cutting a huge gash in the iceberg.
From the center of the exploding iceberg, Borsalino transformed into a golden light and fled back to Sengoku and the others.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Marshal, that one up there is too terrifying."
"I can't win, and I almost couldn't escape."
Borsalino had a ferocious wound on his body, and bright red blood continuously dripped.
The medical soldiers responsible for rescue rushed forward when they saw Borsalino sitting on the ground, applying hemostasis, powder, bandages, and an injection.
Garp looked at Borsalino's upper body, which was wrapped like a mummy, and his cheeks twitched.
The wound was indeed terrifying, but with such a dressing, was he trying to avoid fighting by feigning injury?
Sengoku's face was grim, lost in thought.
He didn't show any concern for Borsalino's injuries, merely glancing at them before looking away.
His gaze fell upon the bomber.
As the missiles fell, the iceberg continent suffered ruthless destruction.
In just this short time, countless soldiers had perished because of it.
Looking at the Xuanwu fleet on the other side, the attacks from the Naga tribe had almost stopped.
Without the interference of sea kings on the warships, the Naga tribe suffered heavy casualties, while the Xuanwu fleet maintained its formation, and the warships were not significantly damaged.
Despite such severe losses, the desired effect was not achieved, and a sense of powerlessness pervaded Sengoku's heart.
But the war had already begun, and there was no turning back.
"Aokiji, freeze this entire sea."
"The entire army advances."
They could no longer wait like this.
To avoid being bombed like that, the best course of action was to engage in close combat with the Xuanwu Navy.
Given the Xuanwu Navy's actions, they would surely not dare to attack indiscriminately at this moment.
Sengoku then called out to Aokiji.
Aokiji exhaled icy cold air, and frost began to creep onto his body.
With a few leaps, Aokiji appeared on the shattered ice surface at extreme speed, constantly channeling his Devil Fruit power.
"Ice Age!"
In an instant, an area of a thousand meters was once again frozen.
Aokiji continued his advance, dodging bullets and artillery fire, freezing the sea wherever he went.
On the other side, as Aokiji made his move, various vice admirals and rear admirals led their troops to charge amidst the bombardment.
On the Xuanwu warship.
Bai Qi watched Aokiji clearing the path, as well as the charging Marines, CP members, and even Shichibukai members, and chuckled, "They do have some brains."
"However, in close combat, even if we are outnumbered, we are in no way inferior in quality."
After a light chuckle, Bai Qi did not immediately order a close combat engagement.
After all, the utility player Aokiji had not yet fully paved the way, and not everyone could walk on the sea.
Machine gun fire and artillery shells, powerful firepower, caused many to fall as Sengoku led the charge.
Sengoku directly activated his Great Buddha form, a golden giant charging at the forefront, roaring, "Hide behind me and charge with me."
Although the bullets were dense and powerful, Sengoku's Great Buddha form possessed extremely high defense, directly ignoring them and leading those behind him in a charge.
Aokiji was not simply freezing the sea indiscriminately; with a single thought, he created numerous small icebergs, two meters high, wherever he went, helping the Marines to resist the bullets and artillery fire.
"This is so troublesome!"
"If only this were a desert!"
Crocodile faced the incoming bullets. Although he could materialize, he still had to be cautious of the artillery bombardment.
To this end, Crocodile created sand giants under his control to charge ahead and block the artillery shells.
Blackbeard extended his hand, and with the opening of his Dark Water, all attacks were absorbed, causing him almost no harm. His crew members followed closely.
Whitebeard Jr., Edward Weble, was eating grilled fish and, under Miss Bakkin's instructions, did not charge immediately.
"Son, eat slowly. You'll kill better after you're full."
"The path isn't ready yet, there's no point in rushing."
Edward Weble ate ravenously and replied, "Yes, Mother."
Mihawk, Doflamingo, Bartholomew Kuma, and Card-Man Zodof each had their own methods to easily evade the incoming attacks.
"Great Tengu Kiyokaze, activate your ability and create a storm."
Sakazuki saw the flying Great Tengu Kiyokaze. Although he was still dissatisfied with him, at this moment, he had to speak.
With Great Tengu Kiyokaze's control over the wind and the natural disasters he could easily create, he could surely disrupt and damage the Xuanwu fleet, while also reducing the Xuanwu fleet's attacks on them.
Sakazuki's voice was loud, which also reminded Sengoku and the others of Great Tengu Kiyokaze's capabilities.
However, Great Tengu Kiyokaze had always maintained a low profile, which made them somewhat overlook his presence.
Great Tengu Kiyokaze glanced at Sakazuki, flapped his wings, and flew higher. Instantly, a strong wind blew across the entire battlefield.
However, before the imagined strong wind could even form, sword energy descending from the heavens forced Great Tengu Kiyokaze to fly away immediately.
The path he had just created showed a huge gap under this sword strike.
Some who couldn't dodge in time were directly cut down.
Those charging from behind, while avoiding death, fell into the sea due to their rapid advance.
This caused the charge in this direction to become quite chaotic.
Benedict watched as Li Chungang's sword strike took care of Great Tengu Kiyokaze, and his face twitched.
Old Li, Great Tengu Kiyokaze is one of us, take it easy!
