[Marvel: I Come From Dragon Ball]
"Gurararara!"
Whitebeard cleaved through Moria with a single strike, not even sparing him a glance as he burst out in booming laughter.
"That brat Naruto… truly, thanks to him! It's been far too long since I've felt this alive!"
His body had grown weaker and weaker over the years. It had been ages since he'd truly fought, let alone a battle this fierce.
Now, unleashing his full strength once again, it felt as if he'd gone back decades, to his prime.
Ignoring the Admirals entirely, Whitebeard turned his blazing eyes toward the platform where Sengoku and Garp stood.
"Sengoku! Garp! The two of you—come at me together!"
Sengoku pressed a hand to his temple, a headache pounding.
"Again with that Naruto… to think he managed to restore this monster's body to such a degree…"
With Kizaru occupied by Marco, Aokiji entangled by Vista, and the Seven Warlords unwilling to face Whitebeard head-on, Sengoku could only sigh heavily.
"Garp, prepare yourself. We can't let Aokiji and Akainu suffer too much damage. It looks like it's up to us old men."
Things had spiraled further than Sengoku ever imagined.
Whitebeard, free of his sickness, had directly dragged the battlefield into a clash of the highest-level monsters.
And beyond Whitebeard, Sengoku still had to worry about Ace's Spade Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, the Red-Haired Pirates, and Naruto with his Impel Down monsters…
Garp's face was solemn as he clenched his massive fists.
"Yeah. Leave it to me!"
"Kurararara!" Whitebeard laughed, charging forward with his bisento raised.
On his path, Doflamingo, Kuma, Boa Hancock, and even Mihawk all quickly retreated aside, faces shifting.
Yes, they'd been summoned by the navy—but no one intended to fight the strongest man in the world.
That wasn't worth any bounty.
"SEEEENGOKUUU!!!"
Whitebeard swung. The strike shattered the air itself, spiderweb cracks racing outward.
The shockwave cut through the air with razor-like penetration.
Sengoku's eyes narrowed, every muscle tensed.
At that moment, Garp vaulted past him, his massive fist turning jet-black with Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), and he slammed it forward to meet the quake.
Sengoku let out a breath of relief, clapping Garp's shoulder.
"Well done, Garp!"
He knew his own strength well enough—Fleet Admiral or not, he couldn't match Whitebeard. But Garp, the Hero of the Marines, could fight the old man on equal terms.
The clash ripped the air apart, shockwaves tearing buildings to pieces. The light around them bent and twisted from the force.
And then—
Garp was sent flying.
His body tore through building after building before slamming into a wall, embedding him like a nail.
"GARP!!!"
Sengoku's eyes nearly burst from his skull.
"You damned old fool!!!"
His chest burned with fury. He knew Garp's true strength. That wasn't Whitebeard overpowering him. Garp had held back.
No—he had let him through.
But Sengoku couldn't even stay angry. After all, by right, Sengoku was supposed to execute Luffy, and Whitebeard was here to save him.
"…Wait a second."
A dreadful thought crossed Sengoku's mind. His eyes flicked back to Whitebeard, his face turning black.
Garp had slipped away.
Which meant only Sengoku remained to hold back the monster.
"Damn it all!!!"
Sure enough, Whitebeard's bisento came crashing down, coated in monstrous Haki.
Sengoku's scalp prickled with fear as he roared, his body erupting with golden light.
BOOOM!!!
In an instant, a towering golden Buddha, seven to eight meters tall, loomed over the battlefield.
The giant fists of the Daibutsu smashed forward, colliding head-on with Whitebeard's strikes.
The battlefield erupted into chaos, a clash of titans shaking the very earth.
At the same time—
"So this is the Gate of Justice!?"
Naruto stood atop Isobu's massive head, craning his neck upward in awe at the towering azure doors.
The colossal gate reached the clouds, engraved with the emblem of seagulls—the mark of naval justice.
Just by its size and thickness, one could sense the sheer durability of the door. It stood like an iron mountain, impossible to move.
"Uzumaki Naruto, you've thought of how to smash this thing open, right?"
Crocodile asked, cigar dangling from his lips.
Barrett frowned at the gate. "Back when I was with Roger's crew, I tried to destroy this door myself. Not even a scratch."
Crocodile nodded. "According to my intel, the Gates of Justice are forged with seastone fused within them. Their hardness is unparalleled—almost impossible to destroy."
Naruto's eyes narrowed. So the door was made with forging techniques akin to the poneglyphs.
But if it couldn't be broken… how was he supposed to challenge the World Government?
A man's reputation on the seas depended on such feats.
After a moment of thought, he smirked and slapped Isobu's head.
"Isobu—let's give them a taste. Fire a Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Bomb) at that gate!"
"ROOOAR!!!"
The Three-Tails roared, opening its massive jaws as chakra began to swirl.
Inside the monitoring room of the Gate of Justice, marines broke into panic as the sight filled their screens.
"Notify Fleet Admiral Sengoku immediately! The Impel Down monsters are trying to breach the Gate of Justice!"
"Damn it—that's Crocodile, and… that's Barrett too!"
"Don't panic! The gate can't be destroyed—it's too strong! Even these monsters can't—"
But their words faltered as the screens shook, light distorting.
The Tailed Beast Bomb had formed—larger than Isobu itself—and then it fired, the ocean splitting as the world shook.
The blast turned the sea into chaos, waves surging in every direction, entire currents cut apart.
On the screen, smoke and fire engulfed the gate.
"…Could it really have been broken!?"
One marine whispered, face pale.
As the smoke cleared, their breaths caught. Relief flooded through the room—
"It's still standing… it didn't break!"
Sweat poured down their faces.
But then their eyes froze.
For though the gate still stood… the blast had left a massive bulge in its surface.
The indestructible Gate of Justice now bore the mark of Naruto's attack.
And it seemed only a little more force would be enough to punch a hole straight through.
