The howling wind here seemed to have frozen and subsided.
As the air "split open," they seemed to be affected in some way, as if they were frozen in place.
As the crack in the lens expands outward.
This is a state of complete stagnation.
It melted very quickly.
Accompanied by a loud bang.
The white spatial cracks disappeared, transforming entirely into a powerful shockwave.
The wind suddenly became chaotic.
The tiny sword energies mixed in were also shattered in large pieces by this shock force, and were mixed into the chaotic wind, turning into nothingness!
The two commanders made their moves almost simultaneously.
The Navy's Buddha Sengoku.
Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors of the One Piece.
With a single move, they effortlessly resolved most of the crises.
Immediately following, the three admirals of the Navy also made their move simultaneously.
The three admirals stood in front of all the navy, their palms outstretched with fingers spread wide.
Domineering and outward-looking.
A more advanced application of Armament Haki than Armament Haki hardening.
To unleash such domineering power, one clearly needs to consume a greater amount of domineering energy.
However, this outward display of domineering power forms an even more invisible and larger armor, or rather, an iron wall!
The remaining storm and tiny sword energies were easily withstood.
Meanwhile, the top division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates were in a similar situation.
Marco the Phoenix, Jozu the Diamond, and Vista the Flower.
The three of them also unleashed their domineering aura, forming an invisible, imposing iron wall in front of them!
Ultimately, this terrifying storm of sword energy lasted for a full ten minutes.
That's when it finally came to a stop.
The two greatest swordsmen in the world clashed for ten minutes, each unleashing more than five thousand massive sword energies.
Finally, it transformed into an astonishing storm of sword energy, which lasted for a full ten minutes before it stopped!
After the storm subsided, Marineford fell into a brief silence.
A brief silence fell over the crowd watching the live broadcast on the big screen in the square of the Sabaody Archipelago.
People witnessed a sword duel of profound simplicity, an astonishing storm of sword energy, and the actions of Sengoku, Whitebeard, the three admirals, and several powerful division commanders...
All these wonderful moments naturally left onlookers with a lingering sense of enjoyment.
"Hawkeye Mihawk!!"
"Hehehe!!"
"I, Golden Lion, acknowledge you as the world's greatest swordsman, worthy of being my equal!"
The golden lion remained suspended in mid-air, floating gently.
He praised Hawkeye Mihawk, but he also praised himself.
It is said that Hawkeye Mihawk is only comparable to him, but not superior.
Hawkeye Mihawk is not actually interested in empty fame; otherwise, with his strength and influence, he could easily build a powerful force comparable to the Four Emperors.
He simply wanted to spar and exchange sword skills with the senior practitioners.
And indeed, this competition ended in a draw.
When 5.8 was also pleased to accept the Golden Lion's evaluation, he sheathed his sword, clasped his hands in a fist and said:
"You flatter me, senior! I am still somewhat lacking in your skill. I will certainly seek your guidance in the future!"
"Jie hahaha!"
Shiki the Golden Lion smiled, silently agreeing to the suggestion to spar with Hawkeye Mihawk at another opportunity.
Chapter 171 The Navy is about to face two Royal Navy regiments!
"Golden Lion, you're still as vigorous as ever!"
Whitebeard said with a smile.
"Likewise! I think you, Brother Whitebeard, are no less formidable!"
That's true of what the Golden Lion said.
However, he frowned inwardly, vaguely sensing that Whitebeard's power was even stronger than it had been thirty years ago when he clashed with him and Roger at their peak.
What's going on?
Is it just my imagination?
Is it because my strength hasn't fully recovered to its peak that I feel this way?
The golden lion had some doubts in its heart, thinking about the horde of sheep.
However, he didn't think much about it.
Shiki knew Whitebeard well; he was a carefree person who didn't have any ambition to conquer the world.
Previously, Shiki had no one who could win over Whitebeard, so the two could not form an alliance.
Because Whitebeard had no ambition, didn't want to join forces with you, and had no interest in competing with you, he was a staunch neutral.
So at that time, the Golden Lion wanted to find Roger because Roger was ambitious. It was either to cooperate or to destroy this rival.
And today, Whitebeard is still the same Whitebeard.
But times have changed. Whitebeard's most valued son, who might even have been seen as his successor, was publicly executed by the Navy.
This gave Golden Lion the opportunity to win over Whitebeard.
The Golden Lion felt very at ease forming an alliance with someone who had no ambition.
Therefore, Shiki didn't think it was a big problem that Whitebeard's strength seemed to be slightly greater than his own.
In an alliance, there can be several leaders who are equals.
It's not like we're a pirate crew.
Aside from collaborations, the staff are usually separate.
This is the first point.
Secondly, the Golden Lion is currently in a recovery period, which means it will take time for him to fully recover to his peak strength.
Therefore, Shiki the Golden Lion felt that he just needed time to improve to the point where he would be completely unafraid of Whitebeard.
It's a little lacking in domineering power now, but it's not a big deal.
At that moment, Golden Lion greeted Whitebeard warmly with a smile, "Brother Whitebeard! I'm not here alone today!" (Golden Lion was a few years older than Whitebeard)
"Let me show you!"
"Let me bring my men!"
"But—it's the strongest!!"
After speaking to Whitebeard.
The golden lion also floated backward, raising a finger, "Basket!"
The Golden Lion airship, which was originally docked at the mouth of the bay, immediately broke through the waves and rushed to the shore of Marineford Square.
"Guys, let these marines see your mighty figures!! Hehehehehe!!!"
As Shiki the Golden Lion's loud laughter subsided.
One by one, powerful figures soared into the sky from the Golden Lion warship and then landed domineeringly on the crowded plaza!
"As expected! That damned golden lion!"
Sengoku clenched his fists, secretly furious.
Just like what Akainu and Aokiji reported back after they went to investigate.
Impel Down has most likely been taken over by the Golden Lion, and all the powerful prisoners inside have probably joined his ranks!
With the help of those powerful prisoners, especially those in the sixth level of the Infinite Hell.
The force that Golden Lion joined in the Marineford War was undoubtedly no less than that of a Yonko pirate crew!
It might even be the strongest Royal Team to date!!
In other words, in this Marineford War, the Navy will be facing two of the strongest Imperial Fleets!!
