Chapter 197: Fist and Bone Collision, the Strength of the Heart

If you saw a massive warship over a hundred meters long flying through the air, how would you react?

At the critical moment, Lingjiedian only felt that the gale was almost enough to make him unable to breathe, as if an incomparably huge shockwave was circling the left and right sides of that ship; accompanied by monstrous waves, the warship arrived, breaking through the air.

In an instant, it crossed over the large fleet, and the Golden Emperor could only take off his sunglasses, clicking his tongue as he looked at the giant object in the sky.

This is a terrifying scene that can only be seen when individual might completely exceeds a certain limit; in this world, every time such a scene appears, it represents... a terrifying monster whose power level has completely transcended the conventional has appeared.

"Hahahaha..."

Amidst the wild, unrestrained laughter, everyone knew who had arrived; on the white sail hanging above the warship, the two characters for Justice were snapping loudly in the gale.

Boom!

The warship fell from the sky into the sea, the sea surface instantly caved in, and only then did the even more terrifying giant waves surge toward the surroundings.

"Run, Garp has really appeared!"

Just from a single encounter, nearly two-thirds of the ships in the large fleet began to divert and turn around; in the underground world, no one was willing to be an enemy of Garp, as everyone knew that this willful and reckless Navy hero Vice Admiral possessed terrifyingly great strength.

Michelin and the others also had trembling pupils at this time; feeling the deterrent power of Garp's appearance at close range, that intense impact of spirit made her desire for the Singularity decrease quite a bit.

Instead, Lingjiedian was unusually calm at this moment; he controlled the speedboat, weaving through the waves.

"We will follow behind Garp, it's fine; our Reputation in this world is not low, and we haven't committed many evil deeds, so even Garp won't attack us without reason..."

The Justice dacang on Garp's back was their best guarantee; originally, Lingjiedian had intended to give up on those Reincarnators and events within Skuld Island, preparing to avoid the coming battle and end with a score of 0.

But Garp's appearance made him smell a turning point.

The Golden Emperor also recovered his composed expression at this time; he was the world's richest man, controlling over 20% of the world's Beli, the Golden Emperor of the underground world, with vast influence; he was not a Bounty Criminal, so naturally, he did not fear Garp.

"Follow him!"

Garp stood at the bow of the ship, arms crossed; he wore that dog-head hat, but his momentum was completely different from Dalmatian, who had a similar outfit previously.

The warship instantly broke through the black fog and entered the sea area near Skuld Island; those broken warships and the large number of floating corpses on the sea made Garp's expression turn gloomy.

The tragic state here was far more severe than what had been transmitted by the Headquarters; not only the previous branch Marines, but even the elites sent by the Headquarters had likely suffered heavy losses.

Garp looked at the dark and eerie Skuld Island in the distance, frowning.

"What a truly unfrank, frustrating feeling."

Garp could feel too many unpleasant auras from the pitch-black mist ahead; it was not the bloody smell of human bodies, nor the stench of corpses being scorched or electrocuted, but a kind of gloom that seemed to suppress countless despairs.

"One by one, if there really is so much despair, then just swing your fists and break that despair yourself..."

"If one punch doesn't work, then two punches; if two punches don't work, then a thousand, ten thousand, one hundred million punches..."

Garp stood at the bow of the ship and took another step forward; on the surrounding sea, everyone at this moment felt an unusual aura erupt.

That kind of feeling that made one's skin tremble as if touched by electricity... without a doubt, it was Conqueror's Haki!

This Navy hero, this legendary Marine, possessed that kind of aptitude.

Scarlet lightning radiated from Garp's body; he suddenly bent his knees, then jumped with force.

Hum!

The warship, along with the sea, caved in violently, as if it were a giant spring.

With a loud bang, Garp leaped high into the air.

On Skuld Island, Enel on the periphery was the first to notice something wrong; the air was restless, and the ions in the atmosphere were cleared away in an instant.

He looked back and saw that in the sky domain that should have belonged solely to him, a sturdy Marine's figure was stretched out incomparably; in the air, one fist was raised high, and above the fist, scarlet lightning was violently diffusing.

It was this power that made his own ions completely unable to resist; it was this power... that power which surpassed his own god-like power...

Enel's heart palpitated; feeling a momentum even more terrifying than when he had been punched away by that guy earlier descending from the sky, Enel instantly transformed into lightning and shot toward the periphery.

Within the island below, seven or eight Monsters that were gathered together, crazily fighting—no, it should be said, crazily being beaten and hunted by Bai Cangshu—noticed the abnormality above their heads at the same time.

The fire-red giant bird was the first to look up; it pulled its claws, and countless transparent threads appeared in the air; every thread was enough to tear apart a warship, and countless threads were entangled together, like a giant birdcage.

The giant werewolf instantly lowered its body, instinctively wanting to flee, but was grabbed by the tail by Bai Cangshu, whose eyes were white and who was completely dominated by Killing Intent Wave, and was violently smashed back onto the ground.

Wandering on the periphery, the Flame Demon in half-human, half-dragon form was not in a good state, but he felt somewhat fortunate; this Tao Baibai, not knowing what he had encountered, was terrifyingly strong at this moment, giving him a sense of pressure that completely surpassed the original Tao Baibai of that day.

That left arm ignored Enel's lightning strikes, ignored his own Blazing Flames, and ignored the Moon Demon's slashes; it was incredibly powerful, and the intense Killing Intent Wave on the opponent also confirmed that the idiot 【Rose Tiger】 had truly completed a deal with the other party.

The powerful corrosive effect of the Killing Intent Wave meant that one would be injured just by brushing against it; fortunately, several people, including himself, were thick-skinned and had extremely strong recovery abilities at this moment.

And more importantly, Tao Baibai's state was very wrong.

The fluctuations in strength were very large.

When strong, Tao Baibai almost instantly killed the Black Death amidst his and the Moon Demon's attacks, and instantly defeated the Moon Demon; but when weak, Tao Baibai would also be knocked flying by the werewolf transformed from the CP9, as if he were completely unskilled in fighting and was just relying on instinct to strike wildly.

This was the biggest reason they could still continue to fight today.

The Flame Demon guessed that Tao Baibai had likely been possessed by 【God's Hand Roland】, but the two were still engaged in a struggle at the level of consciousness, which led to Tao Baibai's current bizarre state.

In other words, this was likely an excellent time to kill these two Special Reincarnators.

Not just these two, there was also the Moon Demon...

While pondering, the terrifying Conqueror's Haki appeared again; the Flame Demon had thought it was Tao Baibai returning to that terrifying state, but looking back, he saw Tao Baibai still unconsciously brawling with the werewolf, completely without any method, and his striking movements were also wrong, lacking much lethality.

He looked up and only saw one person descending from the sky, throwing a punch; the scarlet light of Haoshoku Haki Entanglement instantly dispersed all the black fog; at this moment, the Flame Demon almost felt that the entire sky had been completely shattered.

That pure, indomitable 【Force】 tore the sky apart and then pierced through the earth with a single blow.

The Flame Demon wrapped himself with his wings, and layers of Barriers unfolded instantly; that terrifying force then erupted completely.

This was a strike from a truly top-tier powerhouse of this world; even a Reincarnator like him dared not confront it head-on at this moment.

"Ha~ haha"

Amidst the unconscious, crazed laughter, the Flame Demon saw that Tao Baibai actually kicked the werewolf away at this moment, as if saving the other's life, and instead jumped violently upward, left hand clenched into a fist, Red Lotus erupting once again.

Garp descended from the sky and threw a punch; the air above the entire island was swept up by the intense 【Force】 and 【Haki】 and was shattered together; there was no room to dissipate the force; his punch was aimed at the entire island.

If something like 【Golden Town】 could only trigger such a tragedy, then let it sink to the bottom of the sea.

But under that immense pressure where everyone would be suppressed by the terrifying atmospheric pressure, there was actually a black-haired man who, bearing the powerful pressure, crazily flowed against the current; when the Red Lotus erupted, pitch-black Conqueror's Haki also surged toward Garp.

Garp's expression tightened; he had no intention of caring who this person was or what his goal was, he just violently swung his fist to the end.

"Fist Bone Impact!"

Two surging waves of Conqueror's Haki collided directly, tearing the Heaven completely apart; the black fog surrounding the periphery of Skuld Island also began to dissipate, as if truly shredded by a gale.

Garp felt the surging force upon that fist, along with a mad killing intent he had never felt before, constantly eroding his body; those dark purple Waves seemed as if they wanted to destroy everything.

But... this power is not firm enough!

In Bai Cangshu's pale eyes, a slight change occurred at this moment; scarlet Haki pierced through his body, causing the spirit currently occupying the Heart Throne to collapse almost instantly.

Boom!

Space seemed to twist, and then a terrifying force exploded in mid-air.

Rumble!

The terrifying force drove Bai Cangshu's body directly into the ground; the giant face on the ground cracked first, followed by shattering, and then the true foundation beneath it also began to break apart.

The island trembled violently in an instant, the terrain began to collapse, the area where the town originally stood began to split directly, seawater emerged from underground, and the entire island began to break apart...

In Bai Cangshu's blank world of consciousness, that scarlet Conqueror's Haki blasted directly into the space at this moment, almost scattering the pitch-black Spirit Tower directly.

A large number of weak spirits could not withstand that surging spirit and collapsed directly, then re-condensed in the Yellow Springs.

Bai Cangshu also felt that straightforward, overbearing will rampaging through his own world of consciousness.

"Tsk, these weak fellows are completely unable to bring out the performance of this body of mine..."

He mocked, but his expression also turned serious; he started his Footwork, walking faster and faster, until he was level with Gojo Satoru on the other side.

"You guys, it's time to recognize who the real master is..."

He walked faster and faster, and his body became more and more solid; Bai Cangshu tore apart the spirits in front of him at will, and in the end, only four people remained before the Heart Throne.

Gojo Satoru, with his head tilted slightly back and his eyelids lowered;

Bai Cangshu, leaning forward, his figure solid and almost like a physical entity;

Roland, radiating white light from his whole body, with nearly ten thousand spirits behind him all piously pressing their palms together, and Kori, who was still trying to pull Roland at this moment.

The Marine Kori was wrapped in white light, but he did not accept that kind of hope at all; he pulled on Roland with all his might and said to Bai Cangshu,

"Go, fulfill that promise!"

Bai Cangshu, Gojo Satoru, and Roland reached out simultaneously, touching the Heart Throne.

Almost instantly, the three bodies began to compress, and a collision of pure consciousness intensity began.
