Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Hyakki Mitsurugi Style - Wind Attribute Dual Sword Style - Kamaitachi Rampage!

Wood, who had been merely wielding a longsword, suddenly showed a rare expression of anger upon hearing Shiliu's words. He drew another longsword from his waist and poured a large amount of magic power into it without reservation.

The two famous swords, "Heaven's Dew" and "Morning Dew," shone brightly under Wood's magical infusion, and even before the strikes were launched, the sound of whistling wind could be heard all around.

"Oh no, this guy's getting serious! Shiryu, what did you say to him?!"

Those who have reached such a level of strength must already possess an extremely high level of Observation Haki.

Anyone with eyes could see that Wood's demeanor at this moment was completely different from before.

Even they felt a growing sense of danger to their lives!

Especially the Evil King and his men, who had originally planned to make a quick getaway after seeing Blackbeard's group fail, but seeing Wood's current state, it was clear that he wasn't going to let them leave easily.

Two long swords slashed down from the air, and the whirlwind whipped up by magic met the strikes, instantly creating a huge sword-blade tornado in the air.

The tornado was so large that the entire Marineford region is now engulfed in a gale-force environment, with the clouds in the sky appearing to have holes as the towering tornado pierced through them.

The surrounding seawater was also pulled up by the tornado's powerful suction, defying the laws of mechanics, and was completely sucked up from all sides!

Chapter 475 Useless at everything, but number one in internal strife!

The massive, violent tornado, as it plowed across the ground, was like a bulldozer, completely crushing and swirling up everything in its path.

The violent sword energy instantly shattered everything it swept up, and the size of the tornado continued to expand as the impact distance increased.

This attack can no longer be considered a sword technique in the strict sense; rather, it is a natural disaster, much like Whitebeard using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power!

"Damn it! I've only been imprisoned for a few years, and this kind of monster has already appeared on the sea!"

After Whitebeard dies, won't this guy take his place and become "the strongest man in the world"?

"Stop talking nonsense! If we don't go all out, we'll all die at his hands!"

As the sword tornado, resembling a natural disaster, hurtled towards them, Shiryu and the others finally abandoned their previous relaxed demeanor and began to use their respective abilities with serious expressions.

Shiryu gripped his sword with both hands, raising the famous sword "Thunderstorm" high above his head. Then, an extremely powerful outward slash flew towards the Blade Tornado, also carried by the wind.

San Juan Wolf was originally a giant, and the Devil Fruit he ate was the Paramecia-type "Inflation Fruit," which allows him to double the size of his body.

Therefore, under the power of his Devil Fruit, the giant's already enormous body grew rapidly at a visible speed, quickly surpassing Oars, the ancestor of the giants, and casually dug out a large piece of island, throwing it towards the sword aura tornado.

Basque Jot, a user of the "Sake-Sake Fruit," took a big gulp of sake and exhaled bubbles of alcohol that flew toward Tatsumaki.

King Evil Avaro, a user of the "Island-Island Fruit," has the ability to control islands. He once fused the island's floor and stone walls with himself, and even made the entire island move and talk on the sea.

At this moment, the Evil King also used this ability. As he reached his hands towards the island's ground, they seemed to merge into the earth.

The next second, two enormous arms, formed entirely of rock and nearly a hundred meters long, emerged from the surface of the island and came together to embrace the sword-shaped tornado that was attacking them head-on.

As for Katarina, she is also a Devil Fruit user, and she ate the Zoan-type Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Nine-Tailed Fox form.

As is well known, Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits are far rarer than Logia-type Devil Fruits, and each fruit's power is incredibly absurd and powerful.

Referring to Marco's "Phoenix Form", Sengoku's "Buddha Form", and Kaido's "Black Dragon Form", which one isn't incredibly powerful?

Catarina's Devil Fruit, Mythical Zoan type Nine-Tails form, is incredibly powerful. Catarina can completely imitate a person, including not only their appearance and physique, but also their abilities!

Crocodile's Baroque Works once had a transvestite who ate the "Imitation Fruit," allowing him to transform into the appearance and form of other people.

However, it cannot perfectly copy other people's skills or moves, so it can only be considered a weakened version of the Dog-Dog Fruit - Nine-Tailed Fox form.

Of course, the so-called ability to copy others probably only applies to their physical attributes and strength; it shouldn't be able to imitate their Devil Fruit abilities as well, otherwise it would be far too overpowered. (Purely personal speculation)

Katarina transformed into a giant nine-tailed fox, and then, enveloped in a cloud of pink smoke, another figure of Wood appeared in the air.

And to everyone's astonishment, Katrin struck a sword-drawing pose almost identical to Wood's.

Since she only had one sword, Katrin could only pick up a random sword from the ground and use the "Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu Dual-Sword Style - Kamaitachi Ranbu" that Wood had just used!

Katrin's original intention was to use her Devil Fruit power to imitate Wood and use his techniques to retaliate against him.

But it wasn't until she unleashed an external slash with her twin swords that she was shocked to discover that, despite completely replicating Wood's posture and physical attributes, the power of her slash was worlds apart from Wood's!

This doesn't mean that the Wood imitation by Katrin lacked powerful slashes.

On the contrary, Katarina has already used her Devil Fruit power to imitate many powerful figures on the sea.

In terms of physical fitness and other aspects, Wood can be considered the strongest among the people she had previously imitated.

There is no doubt about this, because just by feeling her current state, Katrin feels as if she has inexhaustible power.

Even as she unleashed her slash using Wood's swordsmanship and physical prowess, the longsword she had casually picked up shattered instantly upon impact, unable to withstand Wood's powerful physique.

However, while the slash that Katrin unleashed was incredibly powerful, it was still far less powerful than the blade tornado that Wood had just unleashed.

However, this is not surprising, since although Katrin perfectly replicated Wood's physical attributes, she could not take responsibility for Wood's unique magic as well.

Even if we assume that Catherine imitated Wood's magic and mastered the skills to use it, without the "Dawn" and "Heaven's Dew" to act as her magic wand, she would not be able to release the magic within her.

It should be noted that the famous swords "Heavenly Dew" and "Morning Dew" in Wood's hands were transformed into magical metals as a system reward, and have functions similar to "magic wands".

Otherwise, even if Wood possessed powerful magic, he would not be able to transform the elements in the air in this world.

The enhanced version of "Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu" is an advanced sword technique infused with magic. While the sword technique used by Katrin is indeed Wood's "Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu", in terms of strength, it is naturally incomparable to Wood's "advanced version" infused with magic.

"boom------!"

The moment the massive, towering tornado collided with the attacks of Shiliu, the Evil King, Catherine, San Juan Wolf, Basque Jot, and others, the entire island of Marineford began to shake violently.

The Marine Headquarters, which had already been cracked by Whitebeard's "earthquake," collapsed like a house of cards under this massive impact.

Seeing the tall building that originally bore the word "Justice" collapse under the powerful impacts, the Warring States Marshal's face almost turned green with rage.

Even if their navy won this "Marineford War", it was probably a Pyrrhic victory.

Although Ace, the Pirate King's bloodline, is dead, and Whitebeard is essentially dead now, the Navy's losses this time are equally enormous.

The defensive wall, built with a large amount of money, was rendered almost useless and was destroyed by its own people.

Now, even the entire Marine Headquarters has been reduced to ruins by Whitebeard and Wood's continuous destruction.

Sengoku estimated that after this round of battles, their naval headquarters could basically move, because the entire island was practically unusable and there was no possibility of repair.

What angered Fleet Admiral Sengoku even more was that Whitebeard was at most responsible for 30% of the blame for turning Marineford into this state; the remaining 70% was almost entirely caused by that bastard Wood.

Putting aside the fact that they destroyed their carefully prepared defensive barrier, Wood should also be held responsible for the commotion caused by Whitebeard's thrashing of the Blackbeard Pirates.

The reason why Whitebeard was able to rise from the dead and beat Blackbeard is because of Wood.

Although Fleet Admiral Sengoku was furious, he did not order Aokiji and Kizaru, who still possessed fighting abilities, to step forward and stop the battle. In fact, he forcibly ordered these two guys, who only knew how to slack off, to remain still in case of other unexpected situations.

Although the Sengoku Marshal was unaware of why Wood, who had previously been passive and unmotivated in battle, had suddenly become so energetic.

However, if we can eliminate Blackbeard and all the villains on Level 6 of Impel Down, it will be a very beneficial thing for the Navy, even if it means sacrificing the entire Marineford.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this is Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, our territory!"

Are we just going to stand by and watch these pirates and other bastards run rampant?

Watching Whitebeard fight against the original Blackbeard Pirates, and then watching Wood take on several major criminals on the sixth level of Impel Down.

The commotion at the two battlefields caused the entire naval headquarters to shake violently almost every second.

It was clearly the Navy's own territory, yet pirates and Impel Down prisoners were causing a ruckus there. As the local power, the Navy was choosing to stand by and do nothing, which Aokiji found quite incomprehensible.

"It's really terrifying. Whether it's these pirates or those prisoners in Impel Down, they're all as strong as monsters."

But is it really okay not to act now? Marshal Sengoku, you're not going to use this as an excuse to deduct my salary, are you?

Upon hearing the remarks of the two top slackers in the naval camp, Fleet Admiral Sengoku said with a serious expression, "Do you want to join the battle and make the situation worse?"

So let me ask you this: if you were to get involved in the battle right now, who would you choose to help?

Should we side with Blackbeard, Whitebeard, or even the Ancient Weapon Wood?

Fleet Admiral Sengoku didn't want Aokiji and Kizaru to help; he was just worried that they wouldn't be able to do anything and would only cause trouble for him.

Think about what those two idiots did after the war broke out. They either just coasted along or, after finally rising up and putting in some effort, they were fighting against their own people.

He's good for nothing, but he's number one at internal strife. The only admiral among the three major Marine Headquarters' top combat forces, the only one Sengoku felt was worthy of his position, was Akainu.

Unfortunately, the square-faced uncle was too enthusiastic and worked too hard, and now he has lost his fighting ability and is lying flat in the pit.

From Fleet Admiral Sengoku's perspective, the current situation is quite good. Wood is fighting against the prisoners of Impel Down's Level 6, and Whitebeard is fighting against Blackbeard's original crew. Regardless of which side wins, their Navy has the resources to clean up the mess.

Furthermore, Fleet Admiral Sengoku had not forgotten what Wood had told Gion before: Blackbeard was no ordinary man, and this has now been confirmed.

Then another of Wood's guesses might also come true.

That is the so-called "third-party force" intervening in this battle. The prisoners of Impel Down are one of the factors, but it cannot be ruled out that there are other "third-party forces." Therefore, it is also to keep Aokiji and Kizaru at a certain level of combat strength for any eventuality.

To prevent other forces from taking advantage of the situation when the navy is too weak.

Of course, Aokiji and Kizaru could also play now, but only if they were on Wood's side.

Because Wood is one of their own, if they help Wood defeat the other guys, they can end the war on the battlefield sooner.

Unfortunately, Wood's identity could not be exposed. As the head of the Navy, Fleet Admiral Sengoku could not possibly favor Wood, an arms dealer, as this would only arouse suspicion from those with ulterior motives. That's why he asked Aokiji and Kizaru such questions.

Aokiji: "I think we should eliminate Wood first. His existence is too dangerous because he is a naval traitor and knows a great deal about our navy."

Moreover, besides his extremely formidable combat strength, he also possesses the ability to resurrect the dead, making him far more dangerous than others.

Kizaru: "My thoughts are similar. Besides, it was because of him that I was hated by the Celestial Dragons and had my salary docked last time in the Sabaody Archipelago incident."
