61 Chapter 60

"You sure you can execute me by yourself?" Hakai opened his mouth breathing out a black beam towards Sengoku.

Sengoku did well to withstand the black beam, but he was still pushed back a few meters.

"Sengoku, it looks like you need help," Garp said, patting his shoulder.

Sengoku chuckled. "Seems I do."

Sengoku had hoped to deal with Hakai himself, but when he withstood his shockwave attack that was nowhere near weak, a small doubt grew in his head.

---

"Old man, who is that?" Luffy asked Whitebeard as he pointed at the dragon.

"I thought it was Kaido being a dragon, but no. That is not Kaido. Most likely that is the captain of the Dragon Pirates one of the Emperors of the New World," Whitebeard answered.

"Huhh?! Is he an enemy or an ally?"

"That I do not know."

Garp and Sengoku fought Hakai all the while the battle of Marineford raged on.

"Garp, you are definitely strong. I see it wasn't an exaggeration when you destroyed mountains as a warm up," Hakai said as he used his long tail as a whip to attack the two.

Garp laughed as he coated his fist with haki and punched the tail away. "It's been a long time since I had to go all out."

While in terms of strength, Garp has definitely weakened from his prime, but he still possessed the strength to become an Admiral and is still one of the strongest Marines in the One Piece universe.

Hakai puffed out black smoke from his nose as Sengoku attacked him again, making another shockwave. He looked down at Sengoku and lifted up his claws, bringing them down on him and pushing him into the ground.

The ground crumbled under the force of Hakai's strength, creating a web of cracks that spread from the area that Sengoku was standing at.

Garp took this time that Hakai was distracted to jump and attempt to punch Hakai's head, swinging his fist.

He wasn't distracted though. Hakai was calm since to use Observation Haki, one had to be calm and not let their emotions distract them, and Hakai always had his Observation Haki on.

Hakai swerved his head out of the way and launched another beam attack at Garp as his mouth opened wide.

Garp stared into Hakai's mouth and saw nothing. Absolutely nothing, a deep abyss. A void and then the beam hit him sending him rolling on the ground.

He wasn't seriously injured, but if he kept taking attacks like that one, then he would definitely die.

This was because the void had the special property of wanting to consume everything and even if it can't fully consume something, it continues to sap away at the energy of anything that makes contact with it until it has no energy left to resist.

Kizaru's chest rose up and down as he took breath after breath. This was the first time in his life that he had been pushed so far. "I admit. You are strong, but you are not beating me. After I beat you, I'll deal with this ship."

Hokori was also breathing hard. "I doubt that. I'm not the strongest in the crew even taking Hakai out of the equation. The girls with the exception of Hancock, they've been through something that I've yet to go through and they're much much stronger than me."

"Anyway, it's time to end this. It seems I need more training." Hokori's face grew scales as his whole body grew, turning into a white dragon wrapped in blue electricity.

"I thought your devil fruit was something like electricity, but do you happen to have a Mythical Devil Fruit?" Kizaru thought this because Mythical Devil Fruits while being much stronger than normal, or Ancient Devil fruits give the user a special ability like Sengoku's shockwave, Marco's blue flames, etc.

"Nothing that complicated." Hokori opened his mouth as all the electricity on his body condensed into his mouth. The skies darkened even more and lightning struck him, increasing the strength of his electricity.

Releasing all the energy that he built up in his body, he attacked Kizaru.

The electricity bombarded Kizaru's body, the heat of it burning his body black.

As a last resort effort, Kizaru managed to throw himself off the ship and leave the lightning breath attack that Hokori did.

It was only for a few seconds, but Kizaru's body had been visibly charred as he fell into the water.

Kizaru had been lucky enough to jump out of the ship when it was close enough to Marineford that a couple of marines spotted the defeated Admiral fall into the sea. They quickly reported it and a certain Admiral stood up from his seat.

"I will deal with Kizaru." The Admiral made his way into the ocean, freezing the sea with each step as he made his way towards the spot that Kizaru fell into.

---

Hokori didn't win easily. Unlike the other girls, he had not gone through the dungeon and recieved its rewards. That last attack he did took a huge toll on his body even if it was a dragon's and right after defeating Kizaru, he fell unconscious as the members of his fleet ran over to him.

Robin looked at the unconscious Hokori as she made her way towards the ship railing and noticed a familiar face. "Aokiji..."

Aokiji finally reached the spot that Kizaru landed in and froze the water below him. This way, Kizaru wouldn't die from drowning and would instead just be unconscious in the ice.

He looked above him as he felt someone staring at him and saw Robin on the flying ship which was slowly lowering itself. "Robin, you have grown up."
