Chapter 356: Defeating the Admiral

"Was the wood pulled out of the ground by gravity? No, it's the shore... There's definitely not that much wood underground here... it's not gravity's ability... it's..."

Sengoku looked gravely and tensely at Yeruashi, who was standing on top of the True Thousand Hands, and then clenched his fist tightly and struck it with all his might.

Although the True Thousand Hands is extremely massive and releases strong oppression, but in the end, it's just wood!!! With his abilities, it wouldn't be too hard to destroy it!!!!

Boom!!!

Sengoku's fist emitted a bright golden glow and formed a huge hemisphere-shaped shockwave, rushing towards the numerous tree fists.

The front fists shuddered and began to slow down rapidly, finally coming to a complete stop, and numerous cracks even appeared on them.

But.

After stopping and damaging more than a dozen tree fists with a single blow, Sengoku's face showed no relief, instead it darkened even more and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"I didn't destroy anything at all... How can this be?"

With this blow, delivered almost with all his strength, Sengoku intended to completely destroy the huge wooden figure, but in the end, he only stopped some fists, he didn't even break them, he only damaged them!

This seemed even more unbelievable, because thanks to the Observation Haki, Sengoku sensed that there was no weapon Haki attached to these fists!

It seemed that this wood itself had such terrifying toughness!

More tree fists swooped down on Sengoku, who was terrified and in disbelief.

They fell from the sky like torrential rain, aiming to completely engulf the area where Sengoku was standing.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."

Sengoku roared furiously, pushing his devil fruit ability to its absolute limit, and began to throw punches with all his might, even the Weaponry Haki was used to its full potential.

Many splinters of wood flew through the air.

Sengoku destroyed the first dozen fists one by one, breaking them into many small splinters, but the strength and power of these fists surpassed his imagination.

After destroying about a dozen fists, one of the fists reached Sengoku's shoulder.

Auge!!!

It seemed that the weight of this tree fist was comparable to that of a huge mountain!

The loud ringing of the bell echoed throughout the island and the ground beneath Sengoku's feet collapsed.

The Admiral's figure staggered back a few steps and began to slowly retreat.

Sengoku could no longer resist Yeruashi's attack, and could only stare in horror at the countless tree fists coming towards him at great speed.

Auge! Auge! Auge!!!!!

The continuous ringing of tens and hundreds of giant bells echoed throughout the island.

On the shore of the island, a strong earthquake struck.

The nearby land was completely destroyed, and in all directions, all the way to the end of the field of vision, a dense network of cracks stretched out, covering almost half of the island.

A terrible tsunami rose up in the sea.

The five large navy ships were engulfed in the mad waves like five small boats, and in the blink of an eye, they were blown to pieces.

Numerous Marines were swallowed up by the sea.

Only those Marines who were able to use geppo were not sucked into the raging sea, but the terrible shock waves pushed them aside, making it very difficult for them to stay aloft.

"Admiral Sengoku!!!"

One of the marines shouted in horror.

That scream was lost in the shockwaves and terrifying roar.

Behind the Thousand True Hands, on the ruined ground, a wooden hand rose, with Robin hidden behind its crossed fingers.

Although Robin was behind and protected by one of the True Thousand Hands' palms, the impact of the collision blew her hair off and prevented her from opening her eyes properly. She created ten small hands with the devil fruit skill and used them to grab the huge tree fingers to keep the wind from blowing them away.

Soon.

The rumbling gradually calmed down.

The terrifying effects that seemed capable of toppling the entire island and the surrounding sea gradually subsided.

Only the sound of collapsing buildings and the raging sea could be heard.

"..."

Robin's hair calmed down and the hands created with the devil fruit skill disappeared one by one, turning into rose petals.

Robin grabbed the edge of the tree's arm with her small hands and looked around.

An incredible sight met her eyes.

The land around the True Thousand Hands... no, it could no longer be called land, it was completely destroyed and quickly flooded with seawater.

The coastal part of the island broke off and all the buildings located near the shore collapsed and broke. The closer to the collision site, the greater the damage, to the point of being completely pulverized.

"Such a battle..."

Even Robin's voice, always calm, was shaking violently at this moment.

The battle between Yeruashi and Sengoku was even more devastating than the Buster Call that had struck Ohara in the past and seemed like an unimaginable force to little Robin.

Close.

Over the head of the Thousand True Hands.

Yeruashi looked calmly at the ruined earth and the gushing seawater below.

A huge tree hand reached down and grabbed a huge mound of earth.

Phew!!!

The dirt mixed with seawater slipped between the fingers of the ascending palm and soon exposed the body of Admiral Sengoku.

By this time, Sengoku had already returned to his normal human form and was bleeding profusely.

This small body, lying on the giant palm tree, caused the strongest tremor in many people's hearts.

"Admiral... Admiral Sengoku?"

The Vice Admiral, who was floating in the sky with geppo, instantly broke out in cold sweat and his voice began to shake violently.

When the Vice Admiral turned his gaze to Yeruashi, who was standing on the head of the True Thousand Hands, his eyes filled with fear and his body began to fill with terror.

He lost!

Sengoku lost!

Admiral, the Navy's ultimate fighting force, who stops all evil at sea and never fails!

A violent tremor broke out in the hearts of the Marines.

No one even considered the possibility of Sengoku's defeat.

After all, he did not go to the New World to fight Whitebeard or the Kaido Beast, but simply to the first half of the Grand Line to deal with a person who previously had no fame or reputation at all!

The Admiral was defeated....

Such news will have a great impact on the Navy's authority, so the World Government will probably try to conceal it, but such high-profile news will be extremely difficult to completely contain.

This news will surely spread across the expanses of the sea!

"He survived..."

Yeruashi looked at Sengoku, who was leaning against the palm of the tree, with a faint smile, "The Navy Admiral really deserves his fame, ah."

Accompanied by a slight smile from Yeruashi, two giant tree hands stretched out and opened their palms.

They were about to abruptly come together and crush the Admiral's body.

But.

The moment they began to move, a flash of coldness pierced Yeruashi's eyes.

He turned his head sharply, looking at the back of the Thousand True Hands.

There, he saw a flaming fist of magma rushing toward Robin, who was standing on the arm of a large tree.
