XX-level Hokage

Jack's enormous beast form continued to roar even under the intense pressure of gravity.

Each of his attacks felt like an earthquake, and even though he was suppressed by Fujitora's gravity field and could hardly move, his strength did not diminish at all. Momo nimbly dodged his attacks, and the sharp sword in her hand kept looking for his weaknesses.

However, Jack's steel-like skin made it difficult for her swordsmanship to be truly lethal. Although the blade grazed his body several times, leaving huge wounds, it could not inflict a fatal injury on Jack.

"This guy is really tough," Momousagi murmured, feeling a little helpless at Jack's tenacity.

Each of her sword strikes was imbued with domineering power, enough to cleave boulders, but against Jack's impenetrable defense, she still couldn't completely break him. Meanwhile, the battle in the sky entered its most intense phase.

His blazing wings flapped incessantly, each strike unleashing scorching flames that distorted the surrounding air; his speed was incredible.

Like a giant raptor, it constantly weaves through Fujitora's gravitational waves, trying to find an opening. Although Fujitora cannot see it, his Observation Haki is extremely sharp, and he can intercept the attack at the last second each time.

"Hmph, you navy guys are nothing special." Yan sneered, her disdain evident in her eyes.

He knew he was at a disadvantage, but thanks to his monstrous physique and superb combat skills, he was still able to fight back tenaciously under Fujitora's suppression.

Fujitora's face remained expressionless as he slammed his cane into the ground once more. Instantly, a massive gravitational wave surged towards the smoke in the air like a tidal wave. His wings flapped violently, unleashing a torrent of flames that collided head-on with the gravitational wave. The two powerful forces collided in mid-air...

A violent explosion was heard. Flames and gravity clashed, creating a brief stalemate.

"She's definitely a tough one," Fujitora thought to himself. He knew that with his current strength, it wouldn't be easy to deal with Smoke in a short time. On the ground, Jack roared, his muscles bulging. Ignoring his wounds, he pounced on Momousagi again like a raging beast. Momousagi's figure flashed past him once more. Her sword light was like a ghost, instantly appearing behind Jack. However, just as she was about to...

Just as the sword was about to sever his throat, Jack's body suddenly spun rapidly, his massive arm whistling through the air as it slammed down on Momousagi.

Momousagi blocked Jack's attack in an instant, but the enormous impact still sent her flying back several steps. She regained her footing, a cold glint in her eyes.

"We can't delay any longer," Momousagi thought to herself.

She knew that Jack and Yu's strong physiques gave them enough leverage to create a stalemate with Fujitora and her, but if things continued like this, the battle situation might take an unpredictable turn.

Just then, the battle in the sky suddenly changed. Fujitora's gravity wave erupted once more, instantly suppressing the blazing flames.

Chapter 163: Naval Warfare (Part 3)

Above the battlefield in Dressrosa, flames and gravity intertwined, and the battle grew increasingly fierce.

However, on the other side of the battlefield, the clash between Akainu and Sabo had reached its most crucial moment. Every punch Akainu threw was imbued with scorching lava, as if it would devour the entire earth.

Sabo used the power of his Dragon Claw Fist to block Akainu's attacks time and time again, but his stamina was nearing its limit. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and the edges of his cloak were curled up by the high temperature of the lava.

"Your resistance is futile!" Akainu's voice was as heavy and scorching as molten lava. "The existence of the Revolutionary Army is a stain on this world, and today I will wipe it away completely!"

Sabo gritted his teeth, panting heavily.

He was hit in several places by Akainu's lava punches. Despite the protection of Armament Haki, the wounds were still burning painfully. He knew very well that his stamina was almost exhausted and that if this continued, he might not be able to hold on for much longer.

"I won't let you have it, Akainu!" Sabo responded coldly, unleashing his Dragon Claw Fist once more, which slammed heavily into Akainu's Lava Fist, creating a massive blast wave.

However, Sabo knew in his heart that his power was being rapidly depleted, and Akainu's suppressive power was far beyond his imagination.

With each punch, each strike, he felt his body gradually losing strength. His eyes were resolute, but deep down he was beginning to feel a sense of powerlessness.

At this critical moment, two powerful auras suddenly appeared on the battlefield. "They've finally arrived," Akainu sneered.

As the ground trembled, two admiral candidates, Green Bull and Chaton, wearing navy cloaks, sped in from afar, their arrival instantly shattering the balance that Sabo was desperately trying to maintain.

"You bastard, I remember you're the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, right?" Green Bull sneered. "Even though you're the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, you're doomed to die today in front of the three of us."

Chaton added coldly, "This battle should be over."

Without hesitation, the two joined the battle. Green Bull stretched out his hand, and large vines shot out from the ground, wrapping around Sabo's legs, while Tea...

The porpoise then brandished its enormous blade and slashed straight at Sabo.

Sabo was exhausted. Although his Observation Haki allowed him to sense the two men's attacks, his physical fatigue made it difficult for him to launch an effective counterattack.

Sabo was powerless to resist as Chaton's blade was about to strike.

"It's over." Akainu's Lava Fist was poised to deliver the final blow to Sabo.

Just then, a figure descended from the sky, a massive spiked club whistling through the air as it slammed down towards Green Bull and Chaton. "Boom!"

The massive shockwave forced the two reserve generals to retreat quickly, while Sabo, who had just narrowly escaped death, took the opportunity to break free from the vines. He looked up and saw a familiar face.

"It's the sorcerer's reinforcements!" Sabo exclaimed in surprise.

Yamato leaped high into the air, his spiked club crackling with intense lightning, instantly repelling two candidate generals.

After landing, she turned to Sabo and said, "Can you still hold on? Take a rest, I'll take care of these two!" Yamato's momentum was unstoppable, showing no fear of the two prospective admirals joining forces.

As Kaido's daughter, she received combat training from a young age, which made her strength far beyond that of ordinary people. Even when facing a candidate for admiral, she showed no intention of backing down.

Green Bull snorted and vines shot out from the ground again, trying to entangle Yamato, but Yamato swung his spiked club and his powerful Armament Haki instantly shattered the vines.

Chaton then seized the opportunity to slash at Yamato, trying to find an opening in her defense.

Yamato nimbly dodged, then swung his spiked club again, clashing violently with Chaton's blade and sending sparks flying. The two exchanged blows, the shockwaves of their fight nearly collapsing the surrounding buildings.

"You two candidates for general are nothing special," Yamato sneered, making no attempt to hide her contempt for them. At the same time, Sabo finally had a chance to catch his breath.

He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and stood up again. He knew that Yamato was now holding back Green Bull and Chaton, and he had to seize this opportunity to deal with Akainu.

"Akainu, I won't let you hurt the Revolutionary Army!" Sabo's eyes reignited with the flames of battle, and his Dragon Claw Fist was ready to strike Akainu once more.

Akainu frowned slightly. Although he could see that Sabo was already exhausted, his tenacious will made him feel troubled. He swung out his Lava Fist and collided head-on with Sabo's Dragon Fist again.

Meanwhile, on the central street of Dressrosa, Aokiji was tightly surrounded by four Revolutionary Army commanders. Although his freezing ability was incredibly powerful, the combined efforts of the four commanders made it difficult for him to escape.

Aokiji's face was grim as he brandished his ice blade, each swing carrying a chilling aura, attempting to force back the four who were attacking him. However, the coordinated efforts of the four Revolutionary Army commanders temporarily put him in a difficult position.

"These Revolutionary Army guys are really troublesome," Aokiji thought to himself. He knew very well that his situation was not good. Although he was not afraid of any opponent in a one-on-one fight, he was clearly not in control of the rhythm of the battle when facing the attack of four army commanders.

Just then, the surrounding civilians, emboldened by the atmosphere of battle, shouted encouragement and cheered on the revolutionary army. Aokiji's ears were filled with their voices, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

"It seems these civilians have been quite swayed by the revolutionary army." Aokiji coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, his icy stare sending chills down the spines of many.

However, despite this, the shouts of the civilians did not diminish at all; on the contrary, they grew louder and louder, as if they had come to regard the Revolutionary Army as the true protectors of Dressrosa.

"Damn it, are even these civilians going to side with the Revolutionary Army?" Aokiji was burning with anger, but he maintained his usual calm expression.

Aokiji was unaware of the special power of the "Encouragement Fruit".

In this situation, Aokiji knew he couldn't delay any longer. He took a deep breath and swung his ice blade fiercely, unleashing a massive blizzard.

A barrier formed around him, forcing the four army commanders back a few steps.

"I'm going to end this battle." Aokiji's voice was low and cold, as if he wanted to freeze the entire battlefield into an icy world.

However, the four commanders were not intimidated. They readjusted their formation and launched another attack on Aokiji. The clash between the two sides once again stirred up huge waves of ice and snow, and the entire central street of Dressrosa trembled continuously from the aftershocks of the battle.

The battle was gradually heading in an unpredictable direction, while on the other side of Dressrosa, Hyuga Mashiro's gaze remained coldly fixed on everything. "These battles are truly spectacular," Mashiro murmured to herself, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She had already envisioned the future in her mind, and the battle before her was merely one move in that plan.

"When the time is right, the World Government's rule will also turn to ashes, just like these battles," Mashiro said calmly. Monet stood beside her, silent, several vines tightly wrapped around her ankles.

Chapter 164: Naval Warfare (Part 4)

On the battlefield of Dressrosa, the situation began to subtly change over time.

With her formidable strength, Momousagi successfully defeated Jack, throwing him into the sea. The aftershocks of the battle stirred up waves on the surface of the ocean. Momousagi's arrival undoubtedly made the battle situation even more complicated, and her goal was clearly to support Akainu and continue his fight against the Revolutionary Army.

"Momoto, go and support Akainu!" Fujitora's voice rang out on the battlefield. He knew that Momousagi's arrival at this moment would have a huge impact on the battle, and might even directly bring victory to the Navy.

Momousagi nodded and charged towards the center of the battle without hesitation. However, her arrival meant that Sabo would once again be in danger.

At this moment, Yamato was already fighting with all her might against Green Bull and Chaton. Although she showed extraordinary strength, she was already overwhelmed by the combined attack of the two reserve generals.

"Looks like I need to think of something quickly. I absolutely can't let Akainu and Momousagi team up!" Yamato thought anxiously, knowing that time was of the essence. Just then, Momousagi's attack closed in on Sabo, and the suffocating pressure made him feel powerless.

Just as he was about to unleash the Dragon Claw Fist again, a sudden gust of wind swept in, instantly repelling Momousagi's attack. "What?" Momousagi exclaimed in surprise, stopping in her tracks. The wind speed around them suddenly increased, forming a giant vortex. Then, the dragon's figure emerged from the gust of wind, like a wind god descending.

"Leader!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Sabo's eyes. Seeing the dragon's appearance, his fighting spirit was ignited.

"I'm here to help you." Dragon's voice was deep and firm. His gaze swept around before settling on Akainu and Momo. His appearance made everyone feel the pressure of the heavens, especially Akainu, whose heart was filled with shock and anger.

"Dragon, what are you doing here?" Akainu's voice was laced with provocation. "Do you think you can change the course of the battle all by yourself?"

“I don’t intend to fight you alone.” Long smiled slightly. “Sabo, go and support the four commanders in dealing with Aokiji. I’ll take care of these two for now.”

“Alright!” Sabo nodded without hesitation. Although he was exhausted, his inner conviction prevented him from backing down. As Sabo turned around, the battle between Dragon, Red Sky, and Momousagi was about to begin.

Gale-force winds, lava, and sword energy clashed in an instant, forming a breathtaking battle circle.

"Come on, Dragon, let's see if you're strong enough!" Akainu roared, and with the lava he unleashed with his punch, the entire battlefield was instantly engulfed in scorching flames.

Long smiled slightly, gathering violent wind energy in his hands to meet Akainu's attack.

His figure moved as swiftly as a ghost, dodging in an instant, followed by a powerful wind blade strike towards Akainu.

"Hmph!" Akainu snorted coldly, quickly dodging to the side, and then counterattacked, unleashing a magma fist at Dragon. Each of his attacks was like a fire from hell, carrying destructive power.

"Wind Blade!" The dragon's voice was like thunder, and powerful wind energy instantly transformed into a sharp blade, tearing towards Akainu and heading straight for his body.

"Do you think such an attack can defeat me?" Akainu said disdainfully. His body was grazed by the wind blades, leaving only a shallow wound. Then he roared and unleashed the Lava Fist again, heading straight for Dragon.

Meanwhile, Momousagi is also actively launching an offensive.

Her blade flashed like lightning, striking the dragon swiftly, attempting to strike it down.

"You two are really overestimating yourselves!" Long sneered, and with a flash of his figure, he instantly dodged Momousagi's attack. Then he launched a counterattack, and the whirlwind in his hand turned into a huge tornado, which swept towards Momousagi.

"Hmph! Momofuku refused to be outdone and forcefully blocked Tatsumaki's attack. His blade drew a cold arc in the wind, trying to separate the battle between Dragon and Akainu."

Meanwhile, Sabo had already rushed to Aokiji's battlefield. The four Revolutionary Army commanders were engaged in a fierce battle with Aokiji. Although Aokiji was incredibly powerful, he was also struggling when surrounded by the four of them.

"Aokiji, you are doomed to defeat today!" Sabo's voice rang out on the battlefield, filled with determination and fearlessness, like a battle cry for the Revolutionary Army. Aokiji's expression changed slightly. He knew Sabo's strength and the increasing pressure he was facing.

The combined attack of the four army commanders forced him to go all out, but at this moment, a surge of anger rose in Aokiji's heart.

"Do you think you can defeat me so easily?" Aokiji's voice was as cold as ice. Then, he swung his ice blade, instantly forming a huge ice wall in the air, trying to block Sabo's advance.

"Go!" Sabo's eyes gleamed with determination. He unleashed his Dragon Claw Fist once more, his powerful Armament Haki instantly covering his fist as he slammed it into Aokiji's ice wall.

With a deafening boom, Sabo's attack shattered the ice wall, and the four commanders seized the opportunity to launch an offensive, instantly cornering Aokiji. "Damn it!" Aokiji cursed inwardly. Faced with the encirclement of the four commanders, he had no choice but to fight with all his might to try and reverse the situation.

Meanwhile, the battle between Dragon, Akainu, and Momousagi intensified. The interplay of raging winds and lava, the clash of sword energy and blades, tore the entire battlefield apart, leaving it in ruins.

"Your strength is no match for mine!" Akainu roared, swinging his fists, sending molten lava flying through the air as he tried to knock Dragon down with a single punch.

"Don't underestimate me!" Dragon coldly replied, then he mobilized all his power, and powerful wind energy gathered around him to form a huge protective shield to block Akainu's attack.

Meanwhile, the peach rabbit seized the opportunity to launch an attack from the side, its blade drawing a beautiful arc in the air, incredibly sharp, heading straight for the dragon.

"You two are really troublesome!" Dragon's expression was solemn. He then wielded his wind energy, creating a whirlwind that instantly neutralized Momousagi's attack. "Watch how I end all this!" Akainu roared, unleashing his Lava Fist once more, accompanied by a massive explosion, as he charged towards Dragon.

"Wind Blade, Break!" The dragon's voice was like thunder, and a gale suddenly arose. The powerful wind blade instantly met Akainu's attack. The two met in the air and instantly generated a huge shock wave.
