From the moment Fleet Admiral Sengoku attacked the leader of the CP, this war was declared to have fully erupted.
It was ironic.
Who would have thought that the war would begin in this way?
But in any case, it had already happened.
A terrifying shockwave attacked those in front, forming a translucent, glass-like hemispherical barrier that continuously emitted light.
Although the leader of the CP was completely engulfed in the light, judging from Sengoku's expression, he seemed to be unharmed.
However, this was normal. After all, as the leader of the CP, he was one of the top powerhouses in the world. How could he be defeated in two moves by someone of the same level?
Within the glass barrier, another bright light appeared – a blue light, contending against the golden light.
The light became increasingly intense.
Shockwaves emanated from within, sweeping outwards in all directions, knocking people off their feet. The ground trembled, sand and dust flew, and warships began to disintegrate.
The power of these two individuals was too strong. Their clash was earth-shattering and terrifying.
"Justice will prevail!"
While Sengoku and the CP leader were locked in a fierce confrontation, the other Marines took action.
"Ice Age!"
Aokiji was the first to launch an attack, unleashing the terrifying "Ice Age" with a raised hand.
Underneath the dense white smoke, freezing cold swept through.
This was the power of ice.
With Aokiji going all out, the entire battlefield was rapidly covered in a layer of ice.
Of course, many soldiers were turned into ice sculptures, standing frozen on the battlefield, their lives rapidly fading.
It was a terrifying attack from the Marine Admiral, Aokiji.
Since they had decided to believe the truth revealed by Minato, they would fight this war with everything they had.
"Don't get too cocky!"
A voice rang out as a figure rapidly approached Aokiji.
It was a CP powerhouse, also a Devil Fruit user.
Seeing someone coming towards him, Aokiji threw a punch.
The punch landed on the person's body, but Aokiji felt like he had hit a steel plate.
His heart sank. Clearly, this was Tekkai, one of the Six Techniques, indicating that this person had mastered the Six Techniques to a very high level.
However, Aokiji was a Devil Fruit user.
In an instant, ice erupted from Aokiji's fist, rapidly spreading and completely encasing the person in ice.
"Nothing special."
Aokiji spoke, but just as he finished, a hand pierced through his heart.
"Indeed, nothing special."
The person spoke, quickly retreating and assuming a fighting stance, preparing for the next round.
He naturally wouldn't think he had already defeated Aokiji. After all, this was a Marine Admiral and one who possessed a top-tier Devil Fruit, the Hie Hie no Mi.
Logia Devil Fruit users like him could turn their bodies into their respective elements.
Clearly, Aokiji could do just that.
"The ice has melted. Is it a heat-related Devil Fruit?"
Aokiji glanced at the ice water on the ground, then looked at the person, analyzing his ability.
"Why don't you try and find out!"
The person didn't answer directly, but rapidly charged towards Aokiji.
The next moment, the two clashed again, but soon separated.
As expected, it's an ability that can release heat.
Aokiji spoke, inwardly speculating about the opponent's specific ability, but he couldn't figure it out.
After all, there were quite a few abilities related to heat or fire.
But a general idea was enough.
"A Marine Admiral is indeed a Marine Admiral, your strength is truly extraordinary. However, since you have chosen to betray, there's only one outcome: death!"
The mysterious powerhouse spoke and launched an attack.
His speed was very fast; after all, as someone who had cultivated the Six Techniques to a high level, his physical skills were extremely formidable.
However, Aokiji was a Marine Admiral. Even if he wasn't at his peak, he was still a top-tier powerhouse in the world.
Even though he didn't know the opponent's specific ability, while the opponent knew his attacks very well, Aokiji clearly had the upper hand in terms of overall strength.
Therefore, the two were evenly matched for the time being.
On the other side, Kizaru was also entangled. His opponent was a Paramecia Devil Fruit user with the ability of super speed, the Speed speed fruit.
This was a duel of speed, but unlike Minato's instantaneous spatial movement, both of their speeds stemmed from movement within the same space.
Moreover, their strength was surprisingly similar, resulting in a stalemate.
Similarly, Zephyr was also in the same situation.
The three Marine Admirals were completely entangled.
This was shocking. They were Marine Admirals, yet they were so easily held back.
So, just how many strong individuals did the Celestial Dragons have?
Just how many powerhouses had they hidden from the world!
Some people thought about this, and their hearts grew cold.
As expected of a force that had ruled the world for 800 years, they possessed a deep foundation.
On the surface, it seemed like the Celestial Dragons had few powerful individuals. However, at this critical juncture of life and death, people were horrified to discover that the Celestial Dragons had far more powerhouses than they had ever imagined!
"Tsk tsk tsk, these guys hid themselves really well. They actually have so many fighters at the Admiral level."
Minato and Sen Taki watched the battle below and sighed in amazement.
They occupied so much territory, seemingly pushing the Celestial Dragons into a corner.
However, now it seemed that they were just not taking things seriously.
Once they got serious and fought with all their might, the Revolutionary Army wouldn't be a match for them.
However, if the Celestial Dragons wanted to completely annihilate the Revolutionary Army, they would also have to pay a heavy price.
This was also the reason why a large-scale war hadn't broken out between the two sides.
After all, they weren't the only two major forces in the world. There was also the Sage Shinobi Nation watching from the sidelines.
Therefore, the Celestial Dragons were biding their time, waiting for the best opportunity.
And after the Sage Shinobi Nation and the Revolutionary Army fully united, this opportunity had arrived.
They could reveal their trump cards without any scruples, planning to annihilate both the Sage Shinobi Nation and the Revolutionary Army in one fell swoop.
"After all, they are a monstrous entity that has been entrenched in this world for 800 years. If they could be easily overthrown, the rulers of this world would have changed long ago."
Minato spoke, then smiled.
"However, even with those 800 years of foundation, they won't be able to suppress us!"
His tone was confident and full of assurance, making people's hearts surge with excitement.
"Let us completely end this war and let this world have a new master!"
Konan spoke. As she finished, she flapped her wings and charged downwards.
"If Konan has entered the battlefield, I don't dare stay here any longer. Come on, let's change the world!"
Ranzuki spoke, leaping up and falling into the sea.
This was the coastline; one side was land, and the other was naturally the sea.
And the sea was Ranzuki's domain!
"Next, let's start with a big one!"
Ranzuki muttered to himself, and a water giant tens of meters tall emerged from the sea.
The giant held a bow in its hand, already fully drawn.
And what the giant was about to shoot was an ice arrow created by Kei Yuki.
Whoosh!!!
With water as the bow, energy as the string, and an arrow of ice, the giant fired!
This was one of Ranzuki's ultimate moves, Ice release: Glacial Arrow!
