The moment the two fists collided, time seemed to stand still for an instant.
Then suddenly...
Boom!!!!
Centered at the point of collision, a massive black-and-red hemispherical shockwave exploded with a roar!
The thick ice field, at this moment, shattered completely like fragile glass, and under extreme pressure, the seawater formed a massive vacuum whirlpool thousands of meters in diameter, swirling up to the sky!
"Ka..."
Kizaru, being the closest, bore the brunt of it and was blown thousands of meters away by the aftermath, crashing heavily into a distant battleship!
The giant rocks and city walls of Dressrosa trembled violently, countless rocks tumbling down, causing King Liku and others watching from above to hastily retreat in panic.
Shano and Garp were also pushed back by the shockwave at the same time, and it was only by using Moonwalk that they managed to steady themselves on the shattered ice.
The two of them raised their heads simultaneously, staring at each other across the broken ice field, with terrifying black-and-red lightning aftermath still frantically jumping between them.
"What's going on, you brat Shano!"
Garp shouted displeased, "Why do you know this move too, and so well! This ultimate skill of mine, not even that idiot Kuzan could grasp the essence of it!!!"
"It's called talent, you old geezer!"
Shano laughed heartily.
This Skill Stealing Skill is really useful, last time it was Kamusari, this time it's Galaxy Impact, all signature ultimate skills, none of them duds.
He's quite satisfied anyway.
His luck has always been good, indeed!
Whoosh—!
A golden light flickered in the night sky, and Kizaru turned back into a laser and flew back, landing between the two, and turned his head towards Garp.
"Why did it take you so long to get here?"
Kizaru frowned, sighing, "I mean...coming from G-1 to here, does it really take this long? In terms of speed, isn't it a bit too slow, Mr. Garp?"
"Ah, sorry!"
Garp scratched his head:
"I did arrive a bit late, but there's nothing I could do about it; after all, on the way..."
As he spoke, Garp's gaze shifted downwards, and he finally noticed Kizaru's empty sleeve, his expression turning to shock:
"Hey, Borsalino, you... what is this..."
"This is nothing much." Kizaru said softly, "If you, the Navy Hero, had come a little later, I might not even be alive now."
He said this in a self-mocking exaggeration of course.
This time in battle, despite momentarily failing... being dragged into the deep sea by the opponent, resulting in such a quick defeat, but no matter what, a defeat is a defeat.
And it was quite disgraceful.
However, wanting to completely take him down is nothing but wishful thinking.
Kizaru believed that no one in this world could achieve that.
"...To be able to defeat Borsalino and cut off his arm, I understand now why Tsuru and the others insist on giving you the title of the World's No.1 Sword Master."
Garp looked at Shano, astonished:
"That guy Hawkeye Mihawk couldn't do that, his position as the World's No.1 Sword Master should indeed be yours!"
"..."
Kizaru opened his mouth, wanting to say that his arm wasn't actually cut off by a sword.
But thinking about that incredibly powerful "Kamusari" that Shano slashed out, he felt there was no point in clarifying it, so he closed his mouth.
"Thanks for the compliment, old man."
Shano twisted his somewhat numb wrist, grinning, "But you didn't come just to say these things to me, right? If you want to continue fighting, I'm happy to oblige."
"Puhahaha! Still able to fight, huh, such strength!"
Garp grinned, his hands behind his back, his Cloak of Justice fluttering in the wind, presenting a facade of a strongman, but secretly he was rubbing his wrist.
This pesky kid...
His strength is truly formidable!
"You don't seem to understand the situation, Shano, this isn't the time for a one-on-one duel, I can't just stand by and watch."
Kizaru spoke coldly from the side, "Which means you're facing a two-on-one situation, still so confident?"
"Now you have the energy to talk?"
Shano grinned menacingly at him, "It seems that just cutting off an arm wasn't enough. Besides, it is you who doesn't understand the situation! Who said it's a two-on-one?!"
Boom!
A semi-transparent Pressure Cannon in the shape of a Bear Claw suddenly attacked from the air!
Kizaru's eyes flashed red as he hurriedly dodged to the side, looked up at the source, and upon seeing the scene in front of him, his expression changed slightly.
Behind Shano—
Two towering figures as mighty as mountains, Kuma and Jack, landed using Moonwalk and stood left and right behind Shano, looking coldly at Kizaru.
"Tsk, two troublesome guys..."
Kizaru rubbed his forehead with a headache; in his current state, he truly couldn't break through these two's combined assault in a short time.
That "Wild Elephant" Jack was okay, just thick-skinned, but that guy named Kuma.
His power and physique were not just strong, it matched his attack pace.
Among the Endgame members, troublesome weren't limited to just Shano alone...
"Alright, I didn't come here to fight with you, just to ensure these Marines can return safely."
Garp said as he dug his nose at this moment, "On the way, I met a cheeky brat who warned me on behalf of his father. Although it was indeed annoying, with our current forces, we... indeed can't stay here for long!"
"Warned you?"
Kizaru frowned slightly, "Who?"
"It must be Marco, right."
Shano guessed right away, raising an eyebrow as he glanced around the surrounding horizon, "I haven't seen that guy for a while, is he nearby too?"
