Chapter 179: VS Sengoku and Zephyr
Sengoku glared at the oncoming shells and instantly transformed. His body swelled as he assumed his Golden Buddha form, radiating brilliant golden light.
A massive handprint shot out, unleashing a powerful shockwave that caused the shells to explode mid-air.

Whitebeard and Golden Lion Shiki, locked in their fierce duel, suddenly paused as they sensed the new arrivals. Both turned their attention toward the distant fleet of naval ships.
"Hahahahaha! These persistent Navy dogs!" Shiki sneered, blood dripping down his face.
His once-pristine clothes were now in tatters, and a trail of blood ran from the corner of his mouth. Whitebeard's powerful punches had clearly taken their toll.
Whitebeard wasn't unscathed either. His golden hair hung loose over his shoulders, his hat long gone. Several fresh sword scars crisscrossed his massive chest, evidence of Shiki's relentless slashes.
Both men directed their focus toward the figures on the lead naval ship.
"Sengoku and Zephyr? Garp isn't with them?" Whitebeard muttered, scanning the horizon for signs of an ambush.
But apart from the navy fleet, the only other vessels visible were those carrying spies sent by various factions.
"Kulalalalala! Sengoku's mine! Zephyr's yours!" Whitebeard declared with a grin.
He raised Murakumogiri, his massive bisento, and pointed it at the navy fleet.
"Kids, steer the ship closer! Let's remind them that the New World belongs to pirates!"
"Roar, roar, roar! Go, Dad!"
Whitebeard's sons cheered, their weapons raised high as they rallied behind their captain.
---
On Shiki's side, the Golden Lion floated back toward his flying fleet.
"Admiral!"
His pirates surrounded him immediately, their loyalty unshaken despite his battered appearance.
"Hahahahaha! Men, we charge! None of these navy fools leave here alive!" Shiki roared, the twin swords Sakura and Tenkumu glinting in the sunlight.
"Ooooooh!"
"Kill the navy!"
"Long live the Flying Pirates!"
The Flying Pirates roared in unison, their enthusiasm reaching a fever pitch.

On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard raised his weapon, the air around him crackling with power. Purple-red Armament Haki enveloped the blade, while golden lightning from his Conqueror's Haki danced across its edge.
"Blade Shockwave!"
Whitebeard unleashed a devastating strike. The massive energy wave tore through the sea, splitting it apart as it roared toward the navy ships.
Not to be outdone, Shiki crossed his swords. Both blades were coated in a rich black Armament Haki, with golden-red lightning crackling around them.
"Lion Slash!"
Two enormous sword slashes surged forward, cutting through the sea like a hot knife through butter and heading straight for the navy fleet.
---
Sengoku and Zephyr stood ready on the lead ship.
"We must stop this! Justice will prevail!" Sengoku roared, tearing off his Justice coat to reveal his muscular frame.
His Golden Buddha form illuminated the entire fleet, and golden lightning sparked around his body as Armament Haki covered his massive right palm.
"Great Buddha Shockwave!"
Sengoku unleashed a powerful shockwave, meeting Whitebeard's attack head-on. The air distorted violently as the two forces collided.
Zephyr's expression was grim as he faced Shiki's slashes. His muscles bulged, veins popping as he channeled his full strength.
"Six Styles Secret Technique: Greatest Wheel Six King Spear!"
Zephyr leaped into the air, his fists glowing with Armament Haki, and launched a devastating shockwave toward Shiki's attack.
---
BOOM!
The ocean erupted as the four attacks collided, sending massive waves and shockwaves across the battlefield.
---
Shiki charged at Zephyr, his swords flashing as he unleashed a barrage of slashes. Zephyr countered with precise, powerful blows, his fists meeting Shiki's blades with explosive force.
Meanwhile, Whitebeard leaped from the Moby Dick onto Sengoku's warship.
"Kulalalalala! It's been a while, Sengoku! Let's see if you've gone soft since becoming an admiral!" Whitebeard bellowed, raising his bisento high.
Sengoku's Golden Buddha form loomed over him. His Armament Haki-coated palm met Whitebeard's blade with a deafening clash.
"Whitebeard, is that all you've got? Your strength isn't what it used to be!" Sengoku taunted, golden lightning crackling around him.
"Kulalalalala! You think I've gotten weaker? Then take this!"
Whitebeard's eyes glinted red as his Conqueror's Haki surged. His next swing carried an overwhelming force, shattering the deck beneath their feet.
Sengoku roared in response, his palm glowing as he countered with another Buddha Shockwave.
---
Around them, chaos reigned.
Shiki's pirates clashed fiercely with the navy's elite soldiers, while Whitebeard's sons fought to protect their captain's flank.
The battle was far from over, and its outcome would determine the fate of the New World.
To be continued...
