Clang, clang, clang... Boom, boom, boom...
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
"Two-Sword Style: Garuda Slash!!!"
Oliver struck with his two blades. A massive, monstrous bird-shaped slash howled as it shot forward, instantly severing every building and tree over two meters tall within a hundred-meter radius.
"Impact Wave!!!"
Aeridar, bathed in his own blood, slammed down with three punches. A blinding white aura burst forth, its terrifying power causing the ground to shatter inch by inch and blasting a massive crater into the earth on the spot.
Thump, thump, thump...
A giant Ancient Zoan Mammoth stomped forward with heavy steps, suddenly charging its body to ram into him.
"An Ancient Zoan Mammoth, a rare ability indeed. But to face me with such a massive body... that's a death wish!"
With a thunderous roar, a flash of bloody light streaked by, blasting the colossal Ancient Zoan Mammoth away in an instant.
Rumble~
The mammoth's heavy body slammed into the ruins of a skyscraper dozens of meters away, the building's debris burying more than half of its massive form.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Redfield, who had been a streak of bloody light zipping around the battlefield, suddenly halted and scanned the area with his gaze.
Clink!
A warped bullet dropped to the ground.
"What a fearsome sniper. To think he could even catch a glimpse of me."
Redfield looked over in surprise, spotting a thick-lipped man with a star-patterned cape raising a flintlock rifle at him.
Before Yasopp could reply, the ground surged like a liquid. A giant, golden arm appeared, gripping a massive golden axe and swinging it down at Redfield's head.
Clang!
Before the axe could land, the bloody light flashed by, severing the entire golden arm.
The ruins exploded, sending countless bricks and stones flying, and Jack, back in his human form, charged right out.
"You bastard! Who do you think I am?! If you want to kill me, go ahead and try!"
Jack removed the two tusk-shaped ornaments from his shoulders, taking off their white cloths to reveal two gleaming, crescent-shaped sickles.
Clang, clang, clang...
Redfield swung his long umbrella, clashing several times with the sickles in Jack's hands. Sparks flew, and the deafening clatter of metal on metal was constant. Terrifying gusts of wind turned into a fierce whirlwind, spreading outwards in waves.
"Haaah!!!"
Betilla cried out, swinging a slender silver rapier through the air.
"Silver Line!!!"
Schwing~
In an instant, the ground was sliced open by a fine silver line, leaving a thin sword mark nearly a hundred meters long.
"The legendary sword Silver Rain... The sword itself is not bad."
Redfield's figure flickered, approaching Betilla like a streak of bloody light.
Clang!
His black umbrella, coated in Armament Haki, clashed against the silver rapier. A metallic clang rang out, instantly erupting in a fierce torrent of air.
"D-damn it..."
Betilla's beautiful face turned crimson. Her legs slowly buckled as Redfield, with just one hand, slowly pushed down on her two-handed sword.
"Your swordsmanship is good, and your speed is decent, but your power is too lacking!" Redfield glanced at Betilla, effortlessly holding her down with a single hand, and casually commented.
However, on this battlefield, Redfield was being surrounded by a large group of powerful individuals.
"One-Sword Style: Radiant Light Slash!!!"
Oliver, holding Mikazuki Munechika in his right hand, thrust his blade forward. In an instant, a brilliant flash of light shot out from his blade.
Schwing~
A deep crack appeared in the ground right in front of Betilla, but Redfield had already dodged it one step ahead.
"High-Heat Mode!"
Charlotte Oven blocked Redfield's path. His arm was faintly glowing red, and a wisp of steam rose from it.
"Huh?!"
Seeing the man throw a punch, Redfield's eyelid twitched. He didn't take the hit head-on, but instead flashed to the side, avoiding it.
"Armament Hardening: Rokushiki: Shigan!!!"
Suddenly, Widwen, also covered in blood, appeared behind Redfield, swiftly thrusting a blackened index finger towards his back.
"Idiot! Get out of my way!"
A look of disdain appeared on Redfield's face. Without even turning his head, he delivered three quick kicks backwards.
Bang~
Just as Widwen's Shiganl was mere centimeters from Redfield's back, he felt a powerful force hit his abdomen, accompanied by a sharp pain. His body was sent flying backwards, unable to stop.
Bang! Bang!
Ben Beckman and Yasopp fired their guns simultaneously. A wisp of smoke still curled from the barrels. But besides two new small holes in the ground, they had no results. As for Redfield, he had already become a streak of bloody light and vanished from the spot.
"Damn it, he's too fast. I can't even hit him," Yasopp said in frustration.
Redfield isn't a Devil Fruit user; he has reached the pinnacle of the world in terms of Haki and physical combat. He has no obvious weaknesses; his speed, power, stamina, and both types of Haki are all top-tier.
And compared to Garp, who trains his strength by punching mountains, Redfield specializes in speed. What's more, high speed makes it easy to dominate weaker opponents. Even a small difference in speed is the difference between heaven and earth; the gap in power is constantly magnified.
If they had faced Garp one-on-one, they might have lasted a few more blows. But against Redfield, they would likely be blown away in just a few hits.
It's not that Redfield is stronger than Garp; it's that they can't dodge his speed. Of everyone present, only Aeridar, who is pushing his Impact-Impact Fruit to its limits, can barely keep up with Redfield, and even he can't maintain it.
"Aeridar-dono, hold him down! Just for a few seconds!" Ben Beckman quickly assessed the situation on the battlefield and gave the command.
"Alright, I'll give it everything I've got!"
Hearing Ben Beckman's words, Aeridar didn't reply, but took a deep breath.
The next moment...
Aeridar pushed off the ground, his body vanishing in an instant and leaving behind only a spiderweb of cracks.
"You're going to hold me down..."
Redfield's eyelid twitched. He understood what Ben Beckman was planning and was just about to speed away when a black blur flashed past and blocked his path.
"So fast!"
Seeing who it was, Redfield couldn't help but be shocked.
"Iron Fist: Mountain-Splitting Strike!!!"
Aeridar's skin was scalding and bright red, with steam rising from his body. His left hand was open in front, while his right was clenched into a fist behind him.
"He's actually sped up his blood flow!" Redfield wore a look of surprise. He saw Aeridar's state at a glance and held his Haki-coated umbrella up to his chest to block.
In a flash...
Bang~
The punch slammed into Redfield's long umbrella.
Rumble~
The air shook, and ripples appeared. The terrifying force made the ground immediately cave in, and countless dense cracks spread outwards at high speed.
At the same time, a white shockwave burst out, turning into a hurricane-like blast that kicked up endless dust. The powerful gusts made it difficult for everyone to even open their eyes.
