The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

"Crack...crack!" Spiderweb-like cracks appeared out of thin air, each crack emitting pale shockwaves.

San Juan Wolf's skin rippled like water under the ultra-high frequency vibration, and his thick muscles, like an anvil being struck by an invisible giant hammer, emitted a tooth-grinding wail.

A tangible spatial rift spread along his chest, and San Juan Wolf looked down in astonishment to see his once-proud body covered in cracks, as fragile as glass.

The shockwaves penetrated the skin and reached the internal organs, causing all the internal organs to resonate and tremble.

"Ugh... Ah!" he cried out in pain, his massive, mountain-like body being kicked back several steps by the kick.

Each step backward created a hundred-meter-high wall of water on the sea surface, and the spray transformed into countless ice crystals in the aftershocks, refracting a rainbow halo under the sunlight.

Using the momentum, Gern flipped backward, his white figure tumbling through the air and landing lightly on the deck of Saul's warship. His cloak of justice fluttered in the wind, and his black sword, Eight Desolations, was tucked into his waistband.

"It seems not only is it 'big,' but its defense is also ridiculously strong." Gern narrowed his eyes, but his tone was filled with eager excitement.

Saul paused for a moment, staring at the figure in front of him, before bursting into his signature loud laugh.

"Hey there! I didn't expect it to be Brigadier General Gern who came to our aid!"

Gern had no time for idle chatter, and simply glanced at him before saying, "Sauro, take your men and retreat to a safe distance."

"But......"

“You’ll only get in my way and slow me down if you stay here,” Gern interrupted, his gaze fixed on San Juan Wolf in the distance.

“To deal with a monster of this size… we need to use some ‘special’ methods.”

"Just as rumored!" Saul thought to himself upon hearing Gern's words, "He shows no mercy when it comes to battle."

"In that case, I'll leave this place to Brigadier General Gern!"

Meanwhile, as if confirming Guern's words, San Juan Wolf had already regained his footing.

He looked down at his chest—there was a tiny scar there, but it was quickly covered by new muscle.

“Little Navy kid…you’re hurting me.” San Juan Wolf’s voice was like a muffled thunderclap.

"Does it hurt?" Gern sneered, gathering vibrating particles in his hands. "This is just the beginning."

"To me you are nothing more than..." San Juan Wolf's Armament Haki-infused giant fist slammed down.

"Fly!!!" The air was compressed into a visible shock wave in front of the fist, and the wind from the fist plowed a deep trench in the sea. Before the waves could even splash, they were crushed into white mist by the air pressure.

"Hehe." Seeing this, Gern showed no sign of backing down.

"Air Step - Consecutive Flashes!" His figure suddenly blurred as his feet stomped continuously in the air, each step creating a ring of pale white shockwave ripples.

Using the recoil, Gern moved like a ghost in the shadow of the giant fist, his speed so fast that he almost left a trail of afterimages.

"Boom!!" The giant fist slammed into the sea, and the terrifying impact created a vacuum crater with a diameter of 100 meters.

The seawater was compressed into a giant ring-shaped wave, which spread wildly in all directions.

The retreating warship rocked violently in the waves, and Saulo on the deck had to grab the mast to keep his balance.

“How could we possibly fight against this monster…” many naval soldiers muttered in despair.

“Others might not be able to do it, but that man is definitely not a problem,” Saul said calmly, watching the battle unfold before him.

On the other side, Gern's figure had already appeared on San Juan Wolf's shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, he lightly touched the giant's collarbone with one foot, flew to the top of his head, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

“Such a large size has terrifying advantages, but its disadvantages are also enormous…” As he spoke, Gern slowly clasped his hands together.

"For example, you don't have a chance to hide now!"

"Buzz!" The sky suddenly darkened.

"Huh?!" Sensing something amiss, San Juan Wolf abruptly looked up, a huge white halo reflected in his murky pupils.

An energy ring with a diameter of over 300 meters unfolded high in the sky, like a door to another world.

"What is that?!" Saullo exclaimed, his mouth agape.

"Try out my newly developed skill!" The next second, Gern's icy voice rang out.

"Heavenly Tremor - Heavenly Prison Gate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding white light shone from the center of the halo.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!" Hundreds of shockwave blasts rained down like a storm!

Each beam of light was only as thick as an arm, yet it contained high-frequency vibrations powerful enough to shatter mountains.

They precisely enveloped San Juan Wolf's entire body, the instant they touched his skin...

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" Countless blood flowers exploded on the giant's body.

"Awooo!!" San Juan Wolf let out a deafening roar of pain.

Especially for giants, their towering size means that their Armament Haki cannot possibly cover all areas.

In an instant, San Juan Wolf's skin cracked from the vibrations, his muscle fibers were torn apart by the high-frequency waves, and even his bones creaked under the strain.

Even more terrifying, the beams of light did not disappear after hitting the ground, but instead transformed into countless pale white specks that embedded themselves in the sea surface.

"Boom boom boom!!" Within ten seconds, the entire sea area was transformed into a minefield of shockwaves!

Each point of light burst intermittently, blasting continuous columns of water onto the sea surface.

San Juan Wolf's legs were instantly struck by dozens of shockwaves simultaneously. His knees buckled, and his massive body staggered to his knees, creating a huge splash.

"A quake... Is this the power that's called 'shattering the sky'?" The sailors on the warship cheered and exclaimed in amazement.

"Did you withstand that attack...?" Gern frowned.

As the tremors subsided, San Juan Wolf slowly raised his head from the sea, his body covered in blood, but his eyes were even more ferocious.

The muscles at the wound site are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Kid, wait! I remember now."

"Tianzhen, you're the Marine who slashed Golden Lion..." He grinned, revealing his bloodstained teeth.

"However, no matter who you are, you have now successfully angered me."

“That’s more like it…” Gern sneered, drawing his black sword, Eight Desolations, with his right hand, releasing the blade while simultaneously unleashing Armament Haki around it.

"That so-called 'cursed doctor' isn't even worthy of my knife..."

So, let me see how many cuts you can withstand.

Chapter 70 Now, can you still stand up?

"It's nothing but an ant!" San Juan Wolf's roar shattered the clouds within a kilometer radius.

With each step its 180-meter-tall body takes, the seawater is forced into solidity, forming a temporary "land" several hundred meters in diameter.

But these "land" sections collapsed in the next second, hurling hundreds of tons of seawater, like countless depth charges detonating simultaneously.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" San Juan Wolf's fists were suddenly covered in jet-black Armament Haki.

Before the fist even arrived, the force of the punch had already carved a thousand-meter-long vacuum trench into the sea surface, with the seawater on both sides rising vertically like cliffs!

"No wonder Professor Zephyr said that super-large sea kings are terrifying. Just the slightest movement from you, a guy who's 180 meters tall, is enough to make me feel troubled."

Gern's black sword, Eight Desolations, blocked the way, its blade shrouded in Armament Haki and Vibration Particles intertwining to form a white and black light film.

"Clang!!!!!" The moment the fist and the knife collided, an energy sphere with a diameter of 100 meters burst out from the point of contact, filled with high-frequency vibrating white lightning.

The moment the sphere expanded, the seawater within a radius of a kilometer was forcibly pushed aside, revealing the reefs and silt on the seabed.

The waves solidified into ice crystals at the edge of the sphere, and then vaporized into white mist in the next second.

"Crack, crack, crack..." The seabed rock strata cracked from the tremors.

The powerful vibrations from the Gurn Fruit's power caused microplate movement, and an "island" made of broken rocks suddenly rose from the ground beneath their feet!

“Interesting.” Gern’s military boots sank deep into the rock, but an excited smile curved his lips.

The blade of the Black Blade Eight Desolations rubbed against the giant fist, creating dazzling sparks, each spark exploding into a small shockwave in the air.

Meanwhile, San Juan Wolf's pupils trembled as he realized he could no longer advance even an inch.

He was surprised to find that Gern's strength was no less than his own, even though he was the Super Titan!

"How come you're almost as strong as me?!"

"There's nothing I can do, this is the only talent I have that looks good on the surface!"

"And... if you can't move me, then it's my turn!" Gern suddenly sheathed his sword and retreated.

San Juan Wolf had no time to stop, and his huge body staggered forward.

At the same time, Gern's left fist was covered in Armament Haki, and a vibration vortex condensed into a wave at the tip of his fist, causing the surrounding space to distort and collapse.

"Hey, wait!!!" San Juan Wolf was startled, but his massive body didn't have time to dodge.

"I've wanted to use this move for a long time!" Gern grinned excitedly. "Take this! Supreme Hadouken!!!"

"Boom!!" The moment the straight punch unleashed its shockwave, the air along the punch's trajectory was completely sucked out, creating a vacuum channel.

The instant it struck San Juan Wolf in the abdomen, a cylindrical blast, thousands of meters long, erupted behind him, tearing the sea behind him in two.

"Aaaaah!" San Juan Wolf coughed up a waterfall of blood and collapsed to his knees on the makeshift "island".

Gern flicked his wrist, pointing his black blade, Eight Desolations, at his opponent: "Continue?"

"After you..." San Juan Wolf was about to curse, but just as he raised his hand, a terrifying voice rang out.

"I understand, raising your hand isn't an apology, it's the Supreme Hadouken!!"

"Supreme Hadouken!"

"Supreme Hadouken... That was so satisfying! Your physique is practically tailor-made for this, taking full damage... Supreme Hadouken!"

For a moment, faced with the oversized San Juan Wolf experimental doll...

Gern remained silent, only unleashing the Supreme Hadouken!

……

"Phew!" After a long while, Gern, who had thoroughly enjoyed the fight, let out a long breath.

"Ha, you can't even defeat me!" San Juan Wolf's massive body straightened despite the excruciating pain.

He was completely limp from being beaten, but he was still fucking stubborn.

"Shatter the sky? That's all." As he spoke, he seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, his left palm slamming down towards Gern with the force to shatter mountains and break seas.

Before the giant hand even arrived, the force of its blow had already created a depression a kilometer in diameter on the sea surface.

The temporary rock island disintegrated under air pressure, and the flying debris turned to dust the moment it touched the edge of the palm strike.

Gern's cloak of justice fluttered in the gale, but he remained motionless.

Just as the giant hand was about to touch the tip of her hair—"Shaking Flash".

Gern's body transformed into countless leaping pale particles, vanishing into nothingness at the last second.

The next instant, the countless particles had already reformed in front of San Juan Wolf's brow.

“It’s been a while since I’ve used this move…” Gern’s left hand gently stroked the blade of the Black Blade Eight Desolations.

Wherever the fingertips passed, the air began to distort unnaturally.

Vibrating particles converged on the blade like rivers flowing into the sea, and the compressed energy caused the surrounding space to emit a low-frequency buzzing sound.

San Juan Wolf's pupils suddenly contracted.

As a powerful figure in the new world, his relatively weak Observation Haki allowed him to instinctively sense a deadly threat.

That's absolutely terrifying, like being hit by a Supreme Hadouken!

But at this moment, its massive 180-meter-tall body became its biggest burden, leaving it no time to react effectively.

"Go ahead and use the Supreme Hadouken if you dare! You damn Marines."

"Perfect timing to upgrade, whatever..."

"I'll use you as a test subject." As soon as he finished speaking, crimson light flashed in Gern's eyes, and his Conqueror's Haki erupted like a volcanic eruption.

But unlike usual, this earth-shattering pressure did not spread. Instead, the Conqueror's Haki that had initially only intimidated the opponent suddenly...

It transformed into a subtle aura that was guided to the Black Blade Eight Desolations. In an instant, Armament Haki enveloped the blade, but the flashing lightning was dark purple.
