Meanwhile, from the conversation between the two, Whitebeard frowned, as if he had understood something.
There was a slight mishap at Umbrella Corporation; is this guy here to settle scores?
However, with the three admirals right here and the ongoing public execution, the Marine Headquarters simply doesn't have the extra manpower to cause trouble for the Umbrella Corporation.
So what could it be?
Could it be... Those guys from the World Government?!
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
Sengoku ignored the somewhat gloating Whitebeard beside him, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. He forced himself to remain calm, took a deep breath, looked at Ian, and continued, "Leave here, or..."
And as the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, he knew... Now was not the time to get entangled with this guy.
"Start a war!"
"War? Hasn't the war already begun?"
Faced with Sengoku's tough stance, Ian did not back down and met his gaze expressionlessly. "And it was you who started this war!"
Sengoku: "..."
As he spoke, beams of light instantly condensed around Ian, as if he were about to make his move.
Upon hearing Ian's words, Sengoku did not reply, but his expression became even more gloomy and ugly.
However, he knew that now was not the time to back down.
His entire body was also shimmering with golden light, and a huge golden giant emerged from his body, staring at Ian.
At that moment, the Umbrella Corporation's fleet confronted the Marine Headquarters' fleet, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
But just then, a cheerful voice came from inside.
"Oh dear, what are you doing?"
Garp, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly spoke.
With his hands behind his back, he exuded a terrifying aura, as if the marine who once hunted down the King of the Pirates, Roger, had returned.
Looking at Ian, he said in a dignified tone, "Ian, you little kid, this is not a place for you to cause trouble. If you want to fight, then fight!"
Everyone: "..."
These words immediately caused the tense atmosphere to freeze, and everyone stared silently at Fleet Admiral.
Sengoku, in particular, glared at Garp with a dark expression, gritted his teeth, and said viciously, "Aren't you going to lie down anymore?"
"Lying down? What am I lying down for? As a member of the Marines, how can I be lying on the ground at a time like this?"
Garp looked at Sengoku with a stern expression, sighed, and shook his head. "Sengoku, your awareness isn't high enough! Is this the time to slack off? Look at how provocative this kid has become! If it were me, I wouldn't stand for it!"
"You son of a bitch..."
Upon hearing this, Sengoku couldn't hold back any longer, especially seeing Garp's righteous expression, which made him want to beat the guy up!
Does he really think he doesn't know what this old guy is up to?
Still provoking?
He actually thought this old guy was the most provocative!
Is he planning to get the Umbrella Corporation involved to muddy the waters and protect his own grandson?
Sengoku had no doubt that if he agreed, Garp would definitely rush up and punch the Umbrella Corporation boss, but in the end, he would be no match for him and would be punched to the ground by the Umbrella Corporation, and continue to lie on the ground.
He resisted the urge to smash the guy in, took another deep breath, and looked at Ian in the sky, "What exactly do you want?"
"It's nothing, it's just..."
Upon hearing Sengoku's words, Ian's face lit up with a bright and cheerful smile once again, and at this moment, the light emanating from him became even more solid.
Just when Sengoku was puzzled... Or rather, everyone was wondering what this guy was up to.
Ian, who was standing on the dragon's head, suddenly raised the axe in his hand, twisted his upper body backward, and extended the axe behind him. The light gathered on his body also burst forth at this moment.
Seeing this scene, how could Sengoku not know what was going on?!
His expression changed instantly!
Is this guy really planning to recklessly start a full-scale war?
Without further hesitation, he too radiated golden light and let out a furious roar, "Ian the God of Sun!!!"
Just as he was about to stomp his foot and swing his fist at the giant dragon in the sky, Ian had already moved. His upper body quickly straightened, and a terrifying force instantly erupted from the axe in his hand.
In an instant, a dazzling light appeared...
"Particle Slash!"
However, that golden slash did not strike the Marines, nor the pirates, or rather, it did not strike anyone at all. Instead, it slashed towards the Marine Headquarters behind the execution platform.
It slashed straight through the middle of the building in an instant, and pierced right through it!
Then, in that very moment, as everyone stood there stunned and bewildered, a massive crack appeared on the solid and imposing building, followed by countless smaller cracks.
The entire Marine Headquarters... Began to collapse!
"What the hell are you doing?!"
A roar rang out, and one of the three admirals of the Marines, Akainu, could no longer hold back.
Countless bursts of lava erupted from his body as he swung his enormous fist, made of magma, and charged directly at Ian.
However, facing this deadly attack fueled by rage, Ian remained completely unfazed, not even taking a single step back.
Instead, he smiled as he looked down at Sengoku, who was equally enraged, and asked, "Fleet Admiral, do you intend to start a war?"
Sengoku: "...?!"
Upon hearing this, Sengoku's expression instantly changed, as if he understood something.
Even though he was filled with rage, he suppressed it and quickly shouted at Sakazuki, who had leaped into the air, "Stop, Sakazuki!"
Although the voice came somewhat suddenly, as an Admiral, Sakazuki suppressed his attack and glared at Sengoku with displeasure, "What are you doing? Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
But Sengoku ignored him; instead, he looked at Ian while suppressing his anger, his face grim, "You should leave, Ian the God of Sun!"
"Fine, I guess I'll leave. I feel much better now."
Despite Sengoku's dismissive words, Ian wasn't angry. It was as if he'd just vented and felt much better.
Turning to Zephyr below, he said, "Time to go back, Instructor Zephyr!"
