Witnessing the battle of strong men!

"The peculiar fruit abilities are becoming more and more interesting."

Redfield did not respond to Nicholas's words, but instead looked at Issho, who was silent, apparently attracted by the ability he had just displayed.

"Be careful next, I'm getting serious!"

With these words, Redfield's umbrella quickly covered itself with a layer of dark armored color, then directly rushed towards Issho, colliding with the black staff-sword in Issho's hand, creating a clang of metal on metal. Then, they engaged in a struggle, the umbrella and the sword clashing with 'clack clack' sounds.

Suddenly, he moved his hand upward, causing the bat umbrella to leave the blade of the staff-sword. With a flick of his wrist, the bat umbrella spun in his palm, then directly blocked a black sword strike coming from behind.

"Extreme Shadow Slash!"

With Redfield's words, the bat umbrella in his hand swiftly struck forward, so fast that even shadows couldn't keep up.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The black sword in Nicholas's hand swiftly blocked, and then clashed again with Redfield's bat umbrella.

"I can't let you guys make a mess anymore, Gravity Sword: Sky Travel!"

A cold voice rang out from behind Redfield.

As the words fell, the deck beneath their feet creaked, and then a large section of the deck detached from the warship, carrying Nicholas, Redfield, Issho, and Judge, who was lying on the ground unable to move, flying towards an island in the distance.

"It really is an interesting ability."

Flying in the air, Redfield also saw Issho's intention to change the battlefield but didn't stop him.

"In a moment, you won't find it interesting anymore."

After Nicholas finished speaking, the long sword in his hand, covered in armored color, turned into black light, slashing towards Redfield relentlessly.

Facing the onslaught, Redfield smiled slightly, and his bat umbrella also swung fiercely, engaging in combat with Nicholas.

Watching the warship gradually recede and the two individuals who didn't seem like serious swordsmen wielding ordinary long swords and bat umbrellas, Judge felt both hopeless and resentful as he looked at Issho. Why did this guy bring him along?

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud bang, the giant deck crashed onto the ground of the island.

As the deck landed, the three figures around it disappeared in a flash, only to reappear on the ground moments later, standing in a triangular formation.

Looking at Nicholas and Issho, Redfield commended, "Not bad, you two are worthy of being supporting roles in this grand performance!"

However, Nicholas and Issho did not respond; red glints flashed in their eyes.

Nicholas sheathed his sword and stood still, then extended his hand towards the sky, gritting his teeth, "Take this, Heavenly Obstacle Tremor Star!"

Issho silently drew his staff-sword from its sheath, and as he did so, a wave of gravity surged towards the sky.

With their actions, Redfield also stood still, looking towards the sky. The previously clear sky suddenly darkened, and a massive shadow covered the land. With a roar, a gigantic meteor, engulfed in flames, hurtled down, surrounded by several smaller meteorites similar in size to the warship, all crashing towards Redfield.

"What a spectacular attack..."

Redfield looked up, "But trying to deal with me with this won't work!"

Then, he clenched the bat umbrella, swung it upward heavily, and a long, semicircular crimson ripple emanated from the umbrella, sweeping towards the massive meteor.

Meanwhile, as Redfield launched his attack, Nicholas and Issho charged towards him because they knew that such a massive attack would inevitably leave him vulnerable.

Boom!

Under the forceful strike, the massive meteor shattered into pieces, with rocks flying everywhere. Amidst the explosion, the meteor broke apart, and under the immense shockwave, it plummeted towards the island like a meteor shower.

On the ground, Redfield used the bat umbrella to block Nicholas's strike while simultaneously unleashing a powerful kick covered in armored color towards Issho.

Facing Redfield's actions, Issho pointed his sword towards the ground, generating tremendous gravity in an instant. Then, he swung the accumulated gravity with his sword, releasing a massive lateral force. Even in the attack, a colossal tiger head, roaring fiercely, formed along the trajectory, biting towards Redfield.

"Gravity Sword: Fierce Tiger!"

Facing Issho's attack, Redfield countered directly with a foot strike.

At the same time, Nicholas's attack arrived.

The bat umbrella clashed with Nicholas's long sword, and with a crisp sound, Nicholas's sword was directly cut in half by the bat umbrella. However, the broken sword's momentum remained and continued towards Redfield.

Facing the broken sword, Nicholas's eyes showed a hint of a smile. While evading the bat umbrella's strike, the broken sword, which had been flying in the air, suddenly flew straight towards Redfield's face.

Boom!

With a tremendous roar, Issho's and Redfield's attacks collided, causing a massive cloud of dust to envelop Redfield.

After a moment, in the smoke, Redfield's figure slowly emerged. His blood-red cloak fluttered in the wind, and a bloodstain appeared on his face, indicating that he had narrowly avoided a fatal blow at the last moment.

"Truly interesting!"

Redfield lightly traced his finger over the wound, then tasted the blood on his finger.

Then the three of them engaged in combat once again.

Nicholas, Redfield, and Issho continued to wield their weapons.

If there were others present, they would barely be able to see the attacks between the three, only witnessing shockwaves exploding in their midst.

Bang!

After another collision, the three of them retreated, sliding several meters on the ground before stopping.

At this point, it was evident that there was a difference in strength among the three. Redfield only retreated five meters, Nicholas retreated seven meters, while Issho retreated ten meters. It was clear that Issho wouldn't stand a chance against Redfield without teaming up with Nicholas.

"Oh...such power, when did the Marines have such strong individuals."

Redfield glanced at his torn sleeve, revealing a gap in his blood-red cloak.

Meanwhile, Judge, lying on the island, looked utterly bewildered. From his perspective, the three guys had been standing still the whole time, looking like three wooden stakes.

As Judge puzzled over the situation, the three men made their moves again. First, the Marine captain frowned, then he saw the mysterious person and Redfield make their moves one after another.

"These are truly remarkable individuals, interesting."

After saying this, Redfield laughed and left, seeming satisfied with the answer he received. The masked man, on the other hand, looked at Redfield's departing figure and fell into contemplation.

Only the Marine captain muttered to himself, his words faintly audible, something about "Observation Haki...battle..."
