The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Another figure arrived swiftly, arms outstretched to protect his chest, directly blocking the slash head-on.

The figure, radiating a shimmering glow, could not be concealed even by the emerald green slashing wave.

"That person is..."

The Marines immediately shouted, "It's the third division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Diamond Jozu!!"

The user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, the man with the world's strongest defense, [Diamond] Jozu!!

"The world's number one slash was actually blocked like that?!"

"As expected of a division commander in the Whitebeard Pirates, they all possess formidable strength!!"

The navy personnel looked surprised, and Hawkeye was also slightly taken aback.

He also realized that with this guy around, his attempt to test Whitebeard's methods with slashes would not work.

Are they really all human?!

On the Sabaody Archipelago, all the reporters and locals wore expressions of disbelief.

Both the heaven-piercing slash and the diamond-like body that blocked it were unbelievable.

They gradually realized that the two sides in the conflict were not even in the same league as them!

"Yoo!!"

On the battlefield, Joz let out a loud roar and forcefully threw his arms high into the air.

In an instant, the powerful slashing wave changed direction, spiraling upwards into the sky!

"Captain Jozu!!"

"It even blocked the slash of the most powerful swordsman!!"

"Neither the Navy nor the Seven Warlords of the Sea are a match for us!!"

After Jozu successfully blocked Mihawk's attack, Whitebeard's morale was greatly boosted.

Hawkeye also witnessed this scene.

He shook his head, intending to put the Black Blade Night back in.

However, the next moment.

"Um?!"

He suddenly sensed something and couldn't help but look up.

On the field, some individuals with powerful Observation Haki and exceptionally strong sensory abilities also made the same move as Hawkeye at this moment.

Sengoku on the execution platform, and Garp.

Aokiji lingering on the ice, Akainu and Kizaru on the high platform, Whitebeard standing on the Moby Dick...

The strongest beings on this vast sea all raised their heads in unison.

"Ahhh, it just fell like that?!"

Why do we have to resort to this method?!

"Are we going to be killed by this fall?!"

"Don't worry, Nami, no matter where we are, I will protect you!!"

"Wow, that really scared my heart out, even though I don't have a heart."

"Wow, this might be the best entrance ever! Lay down!!"

"That's why everyone's asking, why did we come to Marine Headquarters?!"

"Shut up! We already said we're here to save Ace... Ace, we're here to save you!!"

Suddenly, a series of clamoring sounds came from the sky, causing everyone on the battlefield to instinctively raise their heads.

"Um?!!"

To everyone's astonishment, an ever-growing ship descended from the sky, gradually appearing in their pupils.

"That's... a warship?!"

The sailors asked in astonishment, "Why are warships in that place?!"

"Was that a naval ambush and surprise attack?!"

Those on the Whitebeard Pirates' side were both wary and puzzled.

The sudden appearance of warships from the sky brought considerable surprise and questions to both sides.

But immediately afterward, they all put those thoughts out of their minds.

Because they all saw that the warship landed precisely in the direction from which the world's number one slash had struck, the same direction Jozu had just thrown upwards!

In other words, the two, one above and one below, are about to collide!

"What is that?!"

It seemed that the people on the warship had finally noticed this situation, and someone immediately shouted at the slash.

"Are we going to crash?!"

Neither the Whitebeard Pirates nor the Marine Headquarters knew whether the suddenly arriving warship was friend or foe, and they were all closely watching what would happen next.

At this moment, the sounds of artillery fire on the battlefield paused for a moment.

"That warship should be cut in half..."

A naval soldier murmured, "That's the world's number one slash."

"Only Diamond Jozu of the Whitebeard Pirates could withstand such a slash..."

Many people shared the same thought as this naval soldier, believing that the warship was destined to be split in two.

However, the next moment.

"Oh? Such a slash..."

A laugh filled with interest echoed across the sky.

"As a welcoming gift for our arrival, it's actually quite nice!!"

"I accept this gift!!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a figure dressed in a green robe with dark green hair suddenly leaped out of the warship.

He met the slash head-on!

"What is that man trying to do?!"

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much 'jind..' for another generous donation of 588 points!! Thank you so much!!!]

343 Finally, the [Bamboo Dragonfly] makes its appearance!! Has it already grown to this stage?!

Everyone thought that the man was mentally unstable.

"Has he gone mad?! That's the world's number one slash, and he just went straight for it..."

But soon, everyone noticed that the green-haired man was holding a knife with a dark purple blade!

"Could it be that……"

An extremely absurd idea surfaced in their hearts and minds, and an incredulous expression gradually appeared on their faces.

"He wouldn't possibly be thinking of... taking that slash, would he?!"

To withstand the world's strongest slash?! Are you kidding me?!

Soon, everyone was not kept waiting any longer.

Then the green-haired man, who looked like a swordsman, swung his sword forcefully at the incoming strongest slash in the world.

"Itsukushin: Ekanogatari!!"

A soft shout rang out, and he unleashed a powerful, deep blue slash wave.

Under the utterly shocked gazes of countless people, the deep blue and deep green slashes intertwined and collided in mid-air.

Then~

boom! !

Like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, everything was neutralized, and the sword energy transformed into waves that spread outwards.

"They actually managed to take the world's number one slash..."

Inside the arena, all the skilled swordsmen and knife users watched the scene unfold before them with solemn expressions.

"It's been blocked!!"

They felt a slight itch in their hands holding the blades, and their blood was boiling with a restless energy!

He wished he could unleash the strike himself and collide with that world's number one strike!

Upon realizing this, they suddenly understood.

Who is this person who can unleash a slash of this caliber?!

Anyone capable of this level is undoubtedly one of the world's top swordsmen.

One after another, the image of a famous swordsman on the high seas appeared in the minds of a group of people, and when they compared it with the black and red blade, they could not come up with any answer.

"Oh?!"

A glint of light flashed in his sharp, hawk-like eyes.

Eagle Eyes scanned the familiar, deeply memorable figure in the sky.

"They've actually grown to this level?!"

A slow smile crept across his lips. "To have reached this level in such a short time..."

He paused in his motion to sheathe the black sword Night, then slowly gripped it and lowered it.

"Looks like this battle won't be as boring as I imagined~"

A surge of fighting spirit gradually rose around Hawkeye.

"That person is..."

Tashigi, who was standing next to Smoker and also recognized the man, suddenly had her pupils shrink.

"It's Roronoa Zoro, the Pirate Hunter!!"

"Members of the Straw Hat Pirates!!"

Smoker's eyes also showed surprise and doubt at this moment.

"How long has it been? They've already reached the level of being able to fight against the world's top experts?!"

He had a cigar in his mouth, his mind in turmoil.

"It's Mr. Zoro!!!"

Koby and Bellmare, two greenhorns experiencing such a large-scale battle for the first time, were also there, yelling and shouting.

"They actually came to this battlefield too!!"

Koby was excited as he kept scanning the warships above, and soon he found that very familiar figure.

"Mr. Luffy, Mr. Link, they're both here..."

He clenched his fists involuntarily, his heart trembling.

"Oh my, it seems like another group of extraordinary people have arrived."

On the ice, Aokiji exhaled a breath of cold air, gazing at Zoro's figure as his expression gradually calmed down.

"To be able to withstand the world's number one strike, has your progress been that rapid?!"

Back when they were on the deserted island, he personally fought against the Straw Hat Pirates.

Although Link left a very deep impression on him, he also fought against Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji.

They all knew that these people were no pushovers and would surely achieve great things in the future.

But I never expected that they would be able to achieve this in such a short time!
