Chapter 120 All Hokage in Chat Group (Patreon)

Soon, Sengoku led a contingent of Marines towards Ryan and his companions. As they gazed upon the flagless ships and the attire donned by Ryan and the others, Sengoku began to realize that the people standing before him were far from ordinary.

The clothing they wore differed from that of Wanokuni. Furthermore, their presence exuded a formidable aura, something that had lain dormant and unspoken in this world until now, only to arise and challenge the celestial dragons. There undoubtedly existed some sort of conspiracy at play.

"Hmph! Surround them!" Sengoku commanded. "Not a single one of them is to escape today!"

Observing the mere eleven individuals in Ryan's group, the Marines of today represented an elite force. Should they fail in apprehending these eleven, led by Ryan, it would be a considerable disgrace for the Marine Corps.

In compliance with Sengoku's orders, a squadron of Vice Admirals promptly encircled Ryan and his companions. Witnessing the Marines' coordinated actions, Ryan nearly burst into laughter. "Very well, everyone!" he declared. "Let's put an end to this charade without delay!"

Prompted by Ryan's words, the Hokages at his side jointly launched an assault against the Marines before them. Meanwhile, Ryan himself made his way towards Fleet Amiral Sengoku.

Sengoku's voice thundered. "Every last one of you shall be apprehended and subjected to public execution! Your audacity in killing the celestial dragons is an outrageously heinous crime!"

Confronted by Ryan's charging advance, Sengoku bellowed with authority. His figure underwent a sudden transformation, manifesting as a towering golden Buddha upon the icy terrain. This colossal form swung its palm toward Ryan, unleashing a devastating strike known as the "Big Buddha impact."

With a resounding boom, the invisible shockwave hurtled towards Ryan at remarkable speed. But how could such a leisurely attack possibly land a hit? Swiftly maneuvering, Ryan had already evaded the spot moments before Sengoku's attack descended.

In the blink of an eye, Sengoku's assault connected with empty space, shattering the sea that had just been congealed by Aokiji's ice.

"Missed, did you?" Ryan taunted.

Before Sengoku could mount another offensive, Ryan's eyes transformed, taking on the appearance of both Rinnegan and Tenseigan.

The anomaly in his eyes didn't escape Sengoku's attention. "The eyes can change! What kind of devil fruit ability is this?"

Sengoku found himself perplexed. Such an ocular transformation was unheard of in his experience. As far as he knew, no race, much less an individual, had ever displayed this kind of power. If such an entity existed, it surely would have been put up for auction long ago.

Though uncertain of the ability's nature, Sengoku's vigilance heightened.

A resounding "boom" filled the air as a muffled clang echoed. Sengoku was abruptly propelled backward, his form hurtling through the air. Nearby, the immense Buddha also plummeted heavily.

The unexpected turn of events left everyone stunned.

"Who attacked fleet admiral?"

"I can't say; it happened too fast."

"The assailant didn't even seem to move!"

In the ensuing moments, Marines who hadn't yet engaged rushed to Sengoku's side. Slowly, the Marshal began to rise from the icy ground.

Staring at the baffling fist imprints on his body, Sengoku's astonishment was evident. He was certain that his adversary had remained still, yet this attack…

"What kind of ability is this?"

Ryan grinned, though he remained silent.

At that juncture, the four avatars of Limbo had positioned themselves as sentinels around Ryan, forming a barrier of unparalleled potency. This level of capability was tantamount to Six Paths-level strength.

It was glaringly apparent that Sengoku's might did not hold a candle to this caliber of prowess.

However, at that moment, Sengoku was suddenly struck by a realization. The instant he had been hit just before, he seemed to have sensed a faint trace of a figure through his Observation Haki.

But upon closer thought, he deduced that it was captured in the moment of impact. Sengoku's countenance turned instantly grave. He hadn't anticipated that the individuals before him would pose such a significant challenge.

Aside from Ryan and Sengoku, five armored giants abruptly emerged on the scene. These towering figures were Hashirama, Madara, Obito, Tobirama, and Sasuke, each fully equipped for battle. As they appeared, they initiated their Susanoo forms straightaway. Since the aim was to conclude this spectacle, they were intent on utilizing their full might.

Five colossal Susanos materialized on the field, causing the Marines to momentarily freeze in their tracks. Confronted with these gargantuan armored giants blotting out the sky, the Marines were left dumbfounded.

"Are you kidding me?"

Even Admiral Aokiji displayed beads of perspiration on his brow, his gaze fixed upon the awe-inspiring presence before him. Not to mention the others. "What kind of ability is this?"

"It can't be a Devil Fruit!"

"Their eyes! Their eyes are crimson!"

"Is this the power of their race?"

At this juncture, the Marines were at a loss for how to proceed.

Akainu, another Admiral, launched an incredulous attack, as molten magma surged in both his arms. He resolutely locked his fiery gaze on the five Susans ahead. "Meteor Volcano!"

A deafening sizzle accompanied the eruption of the magma punches, propelling them into the sky. The fiery projectiles were directed at the five Susanos.

However, the Meteor Volcano attack, which had often been a potent display of force, proved utterly ineffective in the face of Susans comparable to Gundam. Witnessing the Admiral's futile endeavors, despair began to sweep over the ranks of Marines.

Just as the morale of the Marines plummeted to its nadir, a figure suddenly hurtled towards a blue-armored Susan like a cannonball.

"Don't underestimate us!"

In an instant, a fist, sizable as a rock, connected with Susano. The ensuing surge of terrifying power was immediate, causing even Uchiha Madara's Susanoo to recoil a few steps.

"Vice Admiral Garp!!!"

Spontaneously, a chorus of voices rang out, the crowd chanting Garp's name in unison.

The fact that Garp was capable of unsettling this towering monstrosity injected fresh vigor into the Marines. Uchiha Madara within his Susanoo regarded the scene with eagerness.

"Surprised that a single punch could make my Susano take a few steps back!"

"Incredible! This power! I, Uchiha Madara, acknowledge you!"

As Madara vocalized his sentiment, Garp committed Madara's name to memory.

'Uchiha Madara~'

In that instant, Madara took action.  An onslaught of Chakra-infused strikes was unleashed, with a Chakra blade hurtling towards Garp.

Meeting the challenge head-on, Garp hastily enshrouded his arms in Armament Haki, blocking the incoming strike. With the blade poised against his defense, Garp readied himself.

As the blade descended, Garp's countenance grew more solemn. Thankfully, with his powerful Armament Haki held the blade at bay.

Just as Garp let out a sigh of relief, a secondary blade struck from the side. At that moment, a fusion of red and black lightning enveloped Garp's arm.

"Galaxy Punch!"

Empowered by a surge of strength, Garp's fist collided with Uchiha Madara's colossal Susanoo. His Haki-infused strike bore a ferocious gust, akin to a shockwave, that assaulted Madara's Susanoo head-on.

The impact of Garp's punch yielded significant results. Half of Madara's Susanoo was obliterated, revealing a jubilant Uchiha Madara within.

Although Madara initially paid little heed to the punch, he now recognized it as a genuine challenge. "Hahahahaha!"

"Brave enough to challenge me!"

"However~ That's as far as my praise goes."

Madara's Mangekyo Sharingan activated, and his Susanoo began to congeal into a more solid form.

Slowly, before the eyes of all onlookers, a blue-armored warrior materialized. Towering even above Hashirama's Susanoo, the mere presence of this Susanoo exuded coercion so potent that the Marines on the ice found it difficult to breathe.

"Time for action!"

"Come on! Try to entertain me."

As Uchiha Madara's words subsided, his Susano drew his blue blade from its sheath.

Instantaneously, a malevolent aura surged forward.

Boom—

The Marines on the icy field felt a shiver down their spines. A ferocious noise resounded behind them.

Those who heard it turned their heads, only to find themselves stupefied. The colossal waves, which had been frozen by Admiral Aokiji, were cleaved in half by a single stroke of the blade. The upper portion vanished into thin air.

Silence descended upon the battlefield, the Marines' hearts sinking.

How were they to contend with such an adversary?

Even Garp, previously composed, now grappled with uncertainty.

Staring solemnly at Madara's towering Susanoo, Garp shifted his gaze towards the Susanos of Hashirama and the others.

If Uchiha Madara's Susanoo could undergo such evolution, then surely the same could be true for the others.

Contemplating this possibility, Garp's countenance shifted slightly.

"Sengoku!!!"

"What's our course of action now?"
