At the same time, near Herd Island,
it was unclear when
eighteen of the Marines' finest warships appeared.
On the central ship stood high-ranking officers of the Western Blue Sea, led by Lieutenant Commander Bennett. They held binoculars and their faces showed disbelief and horror.
They truly did not expect that
Tengen, known as the King of Bounty Hunting in the Western Blue Sea, would be so powerful.
He not only eliminated pirates across the Western Blue Sea, each with a bounty of over one hundred million,
but also landed single-handedly on Herd Island to face the World Breaker — Byrnndi Wald. And it seemed that he intended to crush him with a single blow.
It's shocking!
Absolutely shocking!
Initially,
when they saw that the Marine Headquarters didn't react and Byrnndi World acted so confidently, they already had a feeling of impending disaster.
A pirate who has roamed the seas for over thirty years is not someone the West Blue Fleet of Marines could handle alone. But... Marine Headquarters wasn't planning to send reinforcements, leaving them to muster all their strength and fight Wald's pirates to the death.
But they did not expect
that plans would suddenly change, and the King of Bounty Hunting in the Western Blue Sea — Tengen — would intervene.
"Wow...
– Excellent, our West Blue Fleet is saved.
– Tengen turned out to be so strong, I didn't expect it.
– ...
With relieved sighs, the officers of the West Blue Fleet involuntarily relaxed, and their hearts filled with gratitude towards Tengen. As for any hidden grievances they might hold against Marine Headquarters, only they truly knew.
– So, it was all part of Admiral Sakazuki's plan?
– I misunderstood Fleet Admiral Sakazuki.
Lieutenant Commander Bennett's eyes flashed with realization. He understood why Marine Headquarters didn't send reinforcements.
To put it bluntly,
why would Marine Headquarters get involved in a war over something a bounty hunter like Tengen could handle?
Unlike others,
Lieutenant Commander Bennett knew more.
Many signs indicated that
the relationship between Admiral Sakazuki and Tengen was definitely not simple.
Could he be his illegitimate son?
– It seems Admiral Sakazuki foresaw everything,
After a few seconds,
Lieutenant Commander Bennett stopped pondering and loudly ordered
– Everyone, get ready! We're heading to Herd Island to deal with the aftermath.
...
Central part of Herd Island.
– Well then!
Tengen, feeling the power of the newly mastered Lightning Style, looked at Byrnndi Wald, who was still in shock, and murmured to himself:
– I'll let you experience the might of the Armed Lightning Style.
– Armed Lightning Style: Chakra Mode!
Bzz!
Accompanied by an intimidating exhale,
the dark Armament Haki and blue lightning intertwined on Tengen's body.
Perhaps the power was too overwhelming,
but thin black lightning streaks appeared in the air.
In the next moment,
Tengen, having entered the Armed Lightning Style mode, began walking step by step towards Byrnndi World.
With each of his steps,
cracks spread out across the ground.
The invisible power and pressure continuously grew with each step.
Many of the powerful individuals present, barely holding on and on the verge of fainting, felt a ringing in their heads and then completely lost consciousness.
As for Morgans, Bennett, and others, they observed the scene from afar through telescopes, already feeling a sense of suffocation.
Of course,
the one who felt the greatest pressure was undoubtedly Byrnndi World.
He helplessly watched Tengen, cloaked in the Lightning Style and Armament Haki, walking towards him like an invincible god of thunder.
Dangerous!
The person before him is dangerous!!
Without a single word,
the invisible pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
"How is this possible?"
Disbelief was written all over Byrnndi World's face. His eyes shifted several times before settling into a boiling determination.
He... the World Breaker, who has sailed the seas for over thirty years.
He will not give up,
he fears no one.
The marines kept him in Impel Down for over thirty years, but they never managed to break him.
Now a bounty hunter will not be able to, even more so.
"Go to hell!"
With this thought, Byrnndi World took a deep breath, pouring out all his determination and fierce will, grasping the long sword in his hand and bravely launching an attack on Tengen.
"Have you ever been hit by a three-hundred-meter sword?"
"Enhancement—100-fold Strike!"
Shick!
The power of the Enhancement Devil Fruit was activated.
The enormous sword, which was originally three meters long, increased in size one hundred times. Its speed and strike force also grew one hundred times, as did the range of the fighting spirit enveloping the Blade.
In an instant,
the 300-meter sword, carrying all this might, struck down on Tengen with incredible speed.
The power of the attack was so terrifying that even before the blow reached its target, countless cracks began to appear in the air. It seemed that this strike could cut the entire Herd Island in half.
Evidently,
faced with the inevitable pressure from Tengen,
Byrnndi World, with no way out, threw all his strength into the battle.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
"Tengen, you are too overconfident!"
"I am the World Breaker, I will not surrender!"
Seeing Tengen right in front of him,
Byrnndi World erupted in proud and malicious laughter.
Is it not suicidal to stand so openly before him? Increasing the attack a hundred times not only enlarged its size, speed, and strength but also significantly multiplied its destructive power.
However,
in the face of Byrnndi Wald's nearly celestial attack,
Tengen, who was stepping forward, remained unfazed. With a gentle movement of his right hand, lightning mixed with streams of black Armament Haki began to gather around him. The air filled with a sharp sound reminiscent of the cry of a thousand birds.
"Armament haki — Lightning Style — chidori, one thousand birds."
In the next moment,
Tengen's observation reached its peak.
With the activated Three Tomoe Sharingan, he moved towards Byrnndi World with incredible speed.
