Chapter 456: Epic Clash
The massive training arena was instantly divided into three distinct combat zones. Energy shields rose with a thunderous roar, completely isolating the three pairs of kings!
The air vibrated, the ground fractured, and the metallic floor was ripped into shreds by the shockwaves generated from the sheer pressure of their fists.
Haki, lightning, and blazing flames intertwined into a chaotic storm, as if a battlefield of the gods had been recreated.
—And the most awe-inspiring among them was the combat zone of Garp vs. the Kaido Seraphim.
"Hahahaha—!!!"
Deafening laughter rang out alongside the sounds of explosions. Garp stomped his foot, instantly pulverizing the ground beneath him. His entire body turned into a blur of black shadow, charging forward with a devastating shockwave!
His arms were coated in the purest Armament Haki, black-red lightning coiling around his fists. His aura was so ferocious that even the air was blasted into a vacuum.
"You brat!!—You're the one who beat my grandson into a pig's head?!!"
Accompanied by a furious roar, Garp's iron fist smashed down—
"BOOM—!!!"
The fist struck like a falling meteor, and the Kaido Seraphim was sent flying by the sheer force of it!
His massive body scraped against the energy shield, sliding back hundreds of meters. The shockwave he kicked up along the way tore a long trench through the floor!
He smashed heavily into the ground, causing the metallic surface of the entire combat zone to cave in, as if hollowed out by a giant beast.
Amidst the churning dust and smoke, Kaido roared and charged out from the ruins!
"ROAR—!!!"
The white flames unique to the Lunarian race ignited around his body, rolling like a living creature, and the twin wings on his back instantly unfurled!
The dragon scales on his skin gleamed with a cyan light. Accompanied by the flashing pulses of energy currents, his body began to rapidly transform—
Cyan-blue dragon scales covered his entire body, lightning flashed between his twin horns, and the flames burning on his back transformed into wings of blazing fire!
The Human-Beast form of the Kaido Seraphim had fully awakened. He looked exactly like the second coming of an ancient Dragon God!
"Old man—that punch of yours actually hurt a fucking lot!!!"
He let out a low, furious roar, airwaves exploding outwards in tandem.
Electric arcs coiled around his bulging, muscular arms. In the next moment, a fist retaliated, carrying the force of a hurricane!
"Raimei Hakke: Ryuugeki (Thunder Bagua: Dragon Strike)!!!"
The air exploded with a boom, the shockwave howling like a tornado!
Garp's smile didn't falter; instead, his fist clenched even tighter. The moment his foot stomped down, the ground was forcibly shattered into countless fragments.
"You're still far from it, you little brat!!!"
He stepped directly forward into the howling wind and raging waves, his iron fist clashing head-on with Kaido's giant fist—
"BOOM—!!!"
Black-red lightning and cyan-white blazing flames exploded and intertwined. The collision of Haki and dragon power turned the entire combat zone upside down!
The energy shields vibrated madly, and the metal ground was tossed and turned, looking like a boiling sea.
The two traded blows flesh to flesh, completely devoid of any intention to defend.
Kaido's fists swung like a dragon, shattering the air;
Garp's fists met them like a mountain, his Haki unyielding and fierce.
A punch, a kick, every single collision erupted with shockwaves powerful enough to destroy a warship!
Fist winds and Haki collided in the air, creating countless sparks. Every clash was accompanied by the flashing black-red lightning of Conqueror's Haki!
"Hahahaha—!!!" Garp's laughter was like a war drum!
"Not bad, brat! Now that's the spirit!"
"Worororo—!!!" Kaido laughed furiously in response, his dragon scales flashing. "Who's the real monster here, old man!!!"
"BOOM!!!"
The two traded blows again. The fist winds created a vacuum explosion ring. The surrounding energy shields flickered violently, nearly shattered by the impact.
The shockwaves tore through the dome, flames and lightning intertwining as they soared into the sky.
—Fist against fist, bone against bone, blood and fire resonating.
Garp laughed like a madman. His muscles bulged, his Haki condensing into something tangible, his iron fists like indestructible vajra;
Kaido roared continuously. His dragon scales flashed with lightning, flames pouring down like a waterfall, forcibly withstanding Garp's berserk offensive with his Seraphim-enhanced physical body!
They had no flashy techniques, nor any intention of backing down—
Every single punch thrown was a declaration of a life-and-death struggle.
The two were like ancient beasts, brawling amidst storms and blazing fire. Every collision made heaven and earth tremble and the air detonate.
Standing at the edge of the observation deck, Roy watched this blood-pumping scene and smiled faintly: "Looks like the old man hasn't rusted yet~"
He turned his head slightly, looking at Ace and Luffy, his tone leisurely yet carrying a hint of teasing:
"Watch closely—this is the aesthetic of pure violence!"
"BOOM!!!"
Two bursts of Conqueror's Haki detonated in mid-air once again. Blue flames and black lightning intertwined into a dazzling pillar of light, piercing straight into the firmament!
In the center combat zone, golden light and white shockwaves continuously intertwined and collided, airwaves surging madly like a tsunami!
"RUMBLE—!!!"
Every impact condensed the air into visible, ring-shaped shockwaves.
The ground continuously caved in, fractured, and shattered—only to be swept up into the air as dust by the residual waves of the shattering force.
Sengoku's entire body shone with golden light. He had already transformed into a massive Golden Buddha, divine brilliance blazing in his eyes.
He raised a giant golden palm print high. The wind from his palm carried the sounds of countless Buddhist chants, like heavenly might descending upon the world.
"It's been a long time—!!!"
The usually calm and wise Fleet Admiral now had the corners of his mouth turned up, his expression under the golden light filled with fanaticism.
"Daibutsu: Kinko-sho (Great Buddha: Golden Light Palm)!!!"
"Gurararara—!!!"
Responding to him was the bold and unrestrained war cry of the Whitebeard Seraphim!
The young, prime Whitebeard's blonde hair flew in the wind. The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit condensed between his palms into visible spatial cracks.
That world-tearing power caused even the air to warp in agony!
"Gura Gura: Shoha (Tremor-Tremor: Shockwave)!!!"
"BOOM—!!!"
The moment the two impacts collided in the air, time seemed to stop for half a second.
Immediately after, heaven and earth exploded!
The shockwaves shredded the air. The golden light of the Buddha's palm and the power of tremors collided into a dazzling platinum storm.
The residual waves of light and tremors continuously rolled up, transforming into a soaring hurricane of energy that violently pierced through the dome of the training ground!
The entire research institute shook violently. Vegapunk's protective energy walls were squeezed to the point of warping like glass!
Yet, the two grew increasingly excited as they fought. That "fire of the military soul" that Sengoku hadn't shown in years was thoroughly ignited, his laughter ringing out clearly amidst the booming roars—
"Hahahaha!! It's been decades... this feeling! It really brings back memories—!!!"
The Whitebeard Seraphim grinned widely, his signature deep voice carrying through the vibrating air:
"Gurararara—!!! Even though I don't know why... I don't hate you!!!"
With a swing of his arms, the entire ground caved in by dozens of meters, the shockwaves piercing the dome;
Sengoku countered with a backhanded slap. The giant golden palm pressed down, meeting the shockwave head-on!
The collision of gold and white, the duel between Buddha and Tremor—
It shook heaven and earth, swallowing even light itself!
The entire combat zone was completely blanketed by an energy storm. All that could be seen were two giant silhouettes continuously colliding within the incandescent platinum torrent!
—Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, monstrous flames also raged.
It was a sky ignited by cyan flames and white fire.
Zephyr's Phoenix flames churned in the air, his arms burning with a blistering cyan light. Every punch he threw carried the explosive ignition of vitality;
And standing opposite him was the Charlotte Linlin Seraphim—
White flames soared into the sky behind her, her entire being seemingly encircled by sacred fire. And her Soul-Soul Fruit power, enhanced by the Lunarian lineage,
Displayed an unprecedented, terrifying form—
Her soul fire directly granted sentience to the Lunarian divine flames!
Countless white flames transformed into "Soul Homies," spiraling around her. They became laughing, burning little fire spirits and singing giant fists of flame, making the entire battlefield feel as if it were chanting a hymn of death!
"Mamamama—! This power... it's too wonderful!!!"
The Charlotte Linlin Seraphim laughed at the sky, her voice shattering the air.
Zephyr's fists were engulfed by cyan flames. His arms, looking like two burning divine weapons, met her head-on with a boom!
"Cut the crap!! Let's see if your soul fire can burn hotter than my undying cyan flames!!!"
Cyan and white flames collided, tearing the sky in two!
On one side was a sea of white fire burning with souls; on the other was a raging tide of undying cyan flames.
Zephyr's "Black Arm" and Linlin's soul flames clashed continuously. The fist winds swept up flames, the flames swallowed fist shadows. The two tore at each other, the air burning into translucent ripples!
"BOOM!!!"
A giant pillar of interwoven cyan and white flames pierced the firmament. Even Ace and the others watching from afar were forced back half a step by the airwaves.
Ace raised a hand to block the searing heatwave, his face full of shock: "This... this is true hellfire!!!"
