Chapter 86: First Meeting with the Second Commander

"Bang!"

Sengoku and Garp joined forces to counter Susanoo's slash. Despite unleashing their full power, they collided with the thunder blade, revealing the terrifying attack power of Susanoo combined with the immense enchantment of the Goro Goro no Mi. The two forces combined, and Sengoku and Garp were immediately sent flying by Lin Yan's slash.

But it wasn't over yet.

Another hand of Susanoo emerged, wielding a second thunder blade. Holding two thunder blades, he threw them towards Garp and Sengoku from the left and right.

"Quick, dodge!" Sengoku and Garp twisted their bodies in mid-air, trying to avoid the blades. However, it was too late! Lin Yan's Mangekyo Sharingan emitted a scarlet glow as he clenched one hand: "Kamui!"

The thunder blades twisted the moment they approached Sengoku and Garp, the effect of Kamui's augmentation. "Boom!!!" The void exploded, everything was destroyed. The speed of the thunder blades' explosion spread too quickly, especially under Kamui's augmentation. There was no chance for them to evade. Sengoku and Garp were caught in the blast, hit squarely. Their chests exploded under Kamui's influence, even though they used Tekkai, but it had little effect.

Even Kaguya lost an arm once hit by Kamui. Fortunately, Sengoku and Garp, top-tier powerhouses in the One Piece world with exceptional perception under Observation Haki, used Soru and Geppo at the most critical moment. This slight shift prevented their bodies from being torn apart by Kamui, avoiding instant death!

"Did they dodge?" Lin Yan looked at the two who avoided his thunder blades with Kamui, showing slight regret on his face. But if they dodged this move, what about the next? Susanoo drew a circle in the air, and behind him, twenty-four thunder blades appeared, hovering. Susanoo pointed at Garp and Sengoku with one finger, and the thunder blades rushed forward. At that moment, "Kamui!" was activated once again. Around Garp and Sengoku, the void twisted, light waves spread, and the twisting force applied to their sides.

How could Garp and Sengoku withstand Lin Yan's continuous Kamui bombardment? Even with their Observation Haki at its peak, using Soru and Geppo repeatedly, dodging back and forth within Kamui, they eventually were touched. Even a slight touch nearly sucked them in, causing them to crash to the ground like kites with broken strings, bloody and injured.

Finally, Lin Yan followed up with two more slashes. The slashes hit Garp and Sengoku, cutting bloody wounds on their bodies. The marshal was exhausted, unable to fight back, lying on the ground, panting heavily. Garp still had some strength left, wanting to continue fighting. But then Lin Yan's words made him freeze.

"Vice Admiral Garp, that's enough! Do you really want to stop me from rescuing Ace, let Ace die on the execution platform, right in front of you?" Hearing Lin Yan's words, Garp fell silent. Although he was fighting for the navy and was a key figure within it, letting Ace die in front of him was unbearable.

"Garp!!!" Sengoku, covered in blood, understood Lin Yan's intention and quickly shouted at Garp. But just as he spoke, Lin Yan's thunder blade pierced his body, the intense pain making Sengoku sweat profusely.

"Shut up! If it were your child on the execution platform, I don't believe you wouldn't feel anything!" Lin Yan said to Sengoku. Sengoku's pupils shrank, reminded of Rosinante. Back then, his and Garp's situations were very similar. Sengoku wanted to say something but remained silent.

"I am a member of the navy after all..." Garp thought for a long time and finally said helplessly.

"As a navy, you've done your best, haven't you?" Lin Yan, seeing Garp wavering, added: "Let me take Ace away, and this war will end here. The Whitebeard Pirates will not trouble you. In the future, you will be grateful for the decision you made today! Vice Admiral Garp, this is your only chance!" Lin Yan's words were sincere.

Garp looked up, his eyes meeting Lin Yan's. As Ace's grandfather, Garp naturally didn't want Ace to die in front of him. But one side was the navy, the other was Ace. He couldn't decide! Letting the navy lose, he couldn't do it. But letting Ace die in front of him, he couldn't do that either.

As he hesitated, Lin Yan smiled: "Vice Admiral Garp, since you can't choose, let me help you!" With those words, a thunder blade pierced Garp's abdomen. Garp's eyes widened, looking at the thunder blade in his abdomen. Then he seemed to understand something. A hint of calm and relief flashed in his eyes before he fell to the ground!

With Garp and Sengoku both pierced by Lin Yan's thunder blades, the two peak forces of the navy completely exited the stage of the Summit War! On Lin Yan's path to Ace, there were no more obstacles!

The full-form Susanoo flew towards the execution platform. "Boom!" Susanoo landed beside Ace, holding the thunder blade. One slash, the seastone chains on Ace were cut. The second slash, the entire execution platform was destroyed. Lin Yan grabbed Ace's seastone handcuffs and pulled him into his Susanoo.

"Nice to meet you, Second Division Commander!" Lin Yan waved and shouted to Ace.
