As Vice Admiral Tsuru said, no matter what, we must first get the situation under control, and the remaining issues can be resolved gradually.
Whether in the future the Navy and the World Government manage to block the leaked historical messages or use this history to negotiate with the Five Elders to solve the world-ending crisis, in any case, the first thing is to deal with the Konoha Pirates!
"Looks like I underestimated you..."
Sengoku stepped forward step by step, his formidable Haki slowly pouring out from within him, a cold and sharp gleam flickering across his eyes.
"I have no choice but to admit."
Sengoku's body slowly began to emit a golden light, his gaze fixed on Senju Hashirama at the forefront: "Konoha Pirates, your existence poses a considerable threat to the World Government, even more troublesome than the Roger Pirates. To ensure the stability of order in these seas, I must capture you here..."
As he was speaking, Sengoku's body slowly transformed into a gigantic golden Buddha statue, activating the Human-Human Fruit: Mythical: Great Buddha Form right at this moment!
Accompanying Sengoku's activation of his golden Buddha form, the Supreme King Haki of the Navy Admiral also fully unleashed at this moment, recklessly pouring towards the Konoha Pirates, intending to suppress this group of pirates with terrifying Haki!
The wind and sand in the desert whipped everywhere!
The clouds in the sky seemed on the verge of cracking under the intimidation of Haki!
The golden Buddha raised his enormous fist, slamming it down towards the people of the Konoha Pirates below, as if intending to resolve his opponents with a single strike!
"Wood Release: Woodman Jutsu!"
Senju Hashirama quickly clasped his hands together!
A tall wooden figure resembling a Buddha also grew from beneath his feet, raising its hand casually to catch the golden Buddha's fist, as if gripping a child's fist!
With Senju Hashirama releasing his powerful Jutsu, his awakened Supreme King Haki also poured out indiscriminately at this moment!
The Supreme King Haki of the captain of the Konoha Pirates and the Navy Admiral clashed instantaneously, the entire sky beginning to tear under the confrontation of their Haki!
Clearly...
The clash of Supreme King Haki was just the basics...
The ultimate battle returned to the ground, Sengoku was no stranger to battles of such magnitude, his body long since transformed into a golden Buddha, engaging in fierce combat with the tall woodman in the desert, with the desert trembling under the giants' stomping; the golden Buddha moved extremely agile, while the tall woodman wielded overwhelming physical advantage!
"This power...this level of Haki..."
Vice Admiral Tsuru's face grew somewhat serious.
"..."
Aokiji's face also turned grave.
Because Aokiji had never seen Senju Hashirama fight seriously, he only knew the other was the captain of the Konoha Pirates but seldom saw him make any major decisions about the pirates...
During his time captured and imprisoned, whether it was Senju Tobirama, the red-haired youth Red Sand Sasori, or even Vice Captain Uchiha Madara, all seemed more authoritative than Senju Hashirama, leading Aokiji to speculate that Senju Hashirama certainly wasn't a simple character...
Now...
It merely confirmed his speculation.
"Hey, Kuzan, Borsalino, we should also get moving!"
Garp clenched his fist, stepping towards the Konoha Pirates, his gaze fixed intently on the opposing vice captain.
"Vice Admiral Garp...will lose..."
Aokiji noticed the confrontation between Garp and Uchiha Madara, involuntarily feeling heavy-hearted, even he didn't consider himself a match for Uchiha Madara!
Moreover...
When facing him, Uchiha Madara had never even used full strength, with such level of combat prowess unlikely to be something Vice Admiral Garp alone could resolve!
Uchiha Madara didn't hesitate, directly and decisively charging at Garp, his fist abruptly colliding with Garp's!
A mighty conflict of Armament Haki commenced!
Uchiha Madara wasn't annoyed, instead laughing somewhat recklessly at the opponent before him: "Hahaha... Another guy adept at Taijutsu... It's not easy to find a worthy opponent to hone Taijutsu... Hahaha..."
"This guy..."
Garp finally felt the troublesome nature of the opponent!
The opponent had mastered Armament Haki to a terrifying degree, seemingly very skilled at manipulating it, such opponents exert serious pressure even on him!
The moment their fight began, it plunged directly into a heated phase!
Uchiha Madara eagerly sought stronger opponents, having realized that people across these seas placed significant emphasis on Taijutsu training, ensuring he would never fall behind in this aspect!
"Madara, keep a bit of distance."
"Don't interfere with Marshal Sengoku and the First Hokage's duel."
Red Sand Sasori reminded Uchiha Madara, as after the battle here concludes, there might be certain matters inconvenient for Vice Admiral Garp to know.
"Almighty Push."
Uchiha Madara wasn't ambiguous, his hand suddenly lifting, launching an Almighty Push directly sending Garp's body flying back, with Uchiha's figure rapidly pursuing!
"So there's even bizarre abilities..."
