Chapter 85

Sabaody Archipelago.

The Marineford battle was being broadcasted live on the enormous screen, captivating the attention of all the photographers and reporters present.

After hearing Carnes' arrogant speech, all of them were left stunned.

"Kill them???"

"What is he even talking about?!"

"He's at Marineford, the headquarters of the Marines, where all the elite Marines and Whitebeard Pirates have gathered. Did he just say he came here to kill them?!"

"Isn't this too audacious?"

"His arrogance is unbelievable!"

"He's just a newcomer..."

At the back, Bonney who was standing in the rear,was dumbfounded upon hearing Carnes' words.

When she saw him talking to Garp, Whitebeard, and Sengoku earlier, she was already surprised that Carnes knew them.

From their conversation, it seemed they had known each other for a long time.

But now, hearing Carnes say that he came to kill them and recalling his earlier statement about going to Marineford to kill some people, she was completely flabbergasted.

Her mind couldn't process the idea that this man who claimed to be heading to Marineford to "kill some people" wants to kill Navy Vice Admiral Garp, Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and the Emperor Whitebeard.

"Isn't this just ridiculous?!"

"Dealing with both the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates simultaneously, does he think will survive?!"

A chill ran down Bonney's spine as she was taken aback by Carnes' audacious behavior.

Marineford.

Sengoku's expression turned extremely ugly upon hearing Carnes' words.

"You bastard... are you here to cause trouble at a time like this?!" Sengoku gritted his teeth, his tone full of resentment.

At this moment, there was only Whitebeard and his crew to deal with, and even then, Sengoku wasn't 100% sure they could win this war.

Now, with the arrival of the Gale Emperor Pirates, the chances of Marine victory plummeted drastically.

But Garp, who stood beneath the execution platform, had only one thing on his mind - how to take down Carnes!

Garp tore off his white Marine coat and threw it to the ground.

Loosening his collar, Garp fixed his intense gaze on Carnes and said,

"Before anything else, I'll be the one to take you down!!!"

Meanwhile,

In the square, all the Navy Vice Admirals wearing white Marine coats expressed their displeasure at Carnes' arrogant words, speaking in low voices.

"Stop being presumptuous."

"Don't get ahead of yourself!"

"We've gathered 100,000 elite Marines here, the most powerful force! If you think you can kill us, prove it with your actions!"

"This is Marineford, the Marine's headquarters, not a place for a newcomer like you to cause trouble!"

A chorus of voices echoed across Marineford Square.

The Marines were outraged by Carnes' arrogance.

On the other hand, the Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and other crew members maintained serious expressions, showing no signs of underestimating Carnes.

They dared not show any carelessness towards him.

Glancing at the noisy crowd below, Carnes took a deliberate step forward, speaking with calm composure.

"Petty fish, you're irrelevant!"

As he spoke, Carnes unleashed his aura without any restraint.

A terrifying aura emanated from Carnes' body, shrouding the entire Marineford with an overwhelming presence.

Those who felt it couldn't help but widen their eyes, their faces reflecting horror.

"This suffocating oppression?!"

"This suffocating oppression. He.... Is he truly a rookie?!"

Even the Navy Vice Admirals, who had initially thought Carnes was just being arrogant, now felt the immense power exuding from him, almost suffocating them.

A chill ran down their spines, and their faces turned grim.

But this was just the beginning!

Carnes' aura continued to surge rapidly, and in an instant, a faint red glow enveloped his body.

Then, in the blink of an eye, dark red electric pulses crackled all over his body!

Conqueror's Haki erupted from Carnes' body at that very moment!

"Boom!!"

A dark red aura, so thick that it seemed tangible, shot up into the sky.

Above, the sea of clouds started to churn and boil!

Dark red shockwaves spread out from Carnes, sweeping across the entire Marineford battlefield!

"Boom!!!"

Wherever the shockwaves passed, Marines and pirates alike lost consciousness instantly.

"Ugh!!"

"Plop! Plop! Plop..."

Even the Navy Vice Admirals, were unable to withstand the immense power of Conqueror's Haki emanating from him.

They took several steps back, staggering and eventually kneeling on the ground, struggling to resist its overwhelming power.

Furthermore, another Vice Admiral, who was caught within the sweep of Carnes' Conqueror's Haki, immediately lost consciousness and collapsed.

"Plop! Plop..."

Witnessing this astonishing scene from the execution platform, Sengoku was left in utter shock.

Even esteemed figures like Garp, Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru, who stood beneath the execution platform, couldn't help but be moved by Carnes' display of power.

The intensity of this Haki was causing discomfort even to them!

"This Haki, has he become stronger again? He's even more powerful than before!" Sengoku gritted his teeth, gazing intently at Carnes, who stood on the bow of the Eternal Gale.

Akainu's face darkened as he spoke, "This Haki... it's beyond what a mere rookie should possess." His eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent directed at Carnes.

Aokiji calmly observed the situation below and spoke with a serious tone, "The Haki that even Vice Admirals cannot resist is now on par with that guy's Conqueror's Haki."

"Scary~scary~ Truly, the individuals who come here are monstrously strong," Kizaru lazily murmured with a hint of fear in his seemingly carefree tone.

Though he expressed fear, his face showed no signs of it.

Meanwhile, aboard the Moby Dick, as Whitebeard saw his crew being effortlessly taken down by Carnes Conqueror Haki, anger surged within him, and he roared furiously.

"Carnes!!!"

Simultaneously, a dark red arc flickered around Whitebeard's body

In the next moment, a powerful Conqueror's Haki surged forth from him!!

"!!"

The clash of the two supreme Conqueror's Haki created a spectacle above the sky, turning white clouds into dark ones.

Thunder resounded in the heavens above!

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!!"

Feeling his Haki being resisted and sensing the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki unleashed by Whitebeard, Carnes turned slightly to look at Moby Dick and Whitebeard.

"You really are... annoying! You have been like this since the beginning!"

Though Carnes wore a smile on his face, his tone didn't hide the underlying murderous intent.

"Boom!!!"

"Crack! Crack"

The thick ice on the battlefield in the bay began to crack.

A fierce wind swept across Marineford, and the clash of the two Conqueror's Haki was at a standstill.

Not far from the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates.

On the icy battlefield in the bay.

Feeling the overwhelming aura of the two Conqueror Haki users, both Marines and Pirates couldn't help but tremble involuntarily.

"Is this... the enemy of the old man?! The one who used to sail the seas with him?!"

"Damn it!! This feeling is suffocating!"

"His Haki alone is already too much for us to handle..."

"Is he some kind of monster?!"

At this moment, the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates seemed to have forgotten that they were supposed to be enemies.

Under the weight of the two Supreme Haki users, their bodies quivered uncontrollably.

In their eyes, there was nothing but boundless horror and fear as they gazed upon these two formidable individuals.
