Chapter 246
Chapter 246
"Oh~~~ I didn’t expect it to be this troublesome brat. But I really underestimated him... He’s treating our Marines like stepping stones."
Kizaru scratched his head with a troubled expression.
On one hand, he didn’t want to fight Rorschach. On the other hand, as a Marine Admiral, he had no choice but to step up when facing an enemy like this.
"Damn brat... Are you declaring war on the Marines?!"
Sengoku’s face was twisted with rage.
The Marines had existed for so long, yet no one had ever dared to speak to them like this. Openly declaring war in front of the entire Marine force was no longer just provocation — it was a direct challenge.
"Declare war? Rather than declaring war on the Marines, I’d say I’m declaring war on the World Government."
Declaring war! Not just on the Marines — but on the World Government itself!
Everyone watching the broadcast was so shocked they couldn’t speak.
All the Marines stood frozen, staring at him with wide eyes. Their movements completely stopped.
News reporters dropped their notebooks without even noticing.
For a long moment, there was only silence.
Then, the entire world erupted in shock.
"Openly declaring war on the World Government..."
"Another person has appeared on the seas who dares to so brazenly challenge the World Government."
"The last one was the man called the most vicious criminal in the world... the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon, right?"
Civilians were stunned by Rorschach’s audacity. He dared to declare war on the Marines.
Unlike Whitebeard, he didn’t have a massive organization or countless subordinates. Aside from the remaining remnants of the Golden Lion’s old forces, Rorschach was essentially alone.
Yet this lone man had just openly challenged the World Government.
"Fufufufufu... How interesting. Now I don’t even need to do anything. He’s courting death by provoking the World Government himself. I can’t be blamed for this."
Doflamingo laughed with schadenfreude.
He had been worried about how to make the Marines deal with Rorschach. But now that Rorschach had provoked the Marines himself, there was no need for him to do anything.
If Rorschach died here, he might still have a chance to take back Dressrosa.
"This is getting really interesting."
"Whitebeard, Roger’s son, and the successor of the Golden Lion have all gathered at Marineford to fight against the Fleet Admiral, the Hero of the Marines, and the three Admirals. This might be the largest war in history."
The Supernovas at Sabaody Archipelago all watched with great interest.
This war was becoming more and more chaotic. Multiple major forces had joined in.
Several unprecedented pieces of news had also been revealed.
The Supernova Straw Hat Luffy turned out to be the son of Revolutionary Army leader Dragon. Ace was actually Roger’s son. And Rorschach, the successor of the Golden Lion, had also joined the war — and had just declared war on the World Government.
Among the younger generation, Rorschach was clearly the strongest.
Even the other Supernovas felt their blood boil. Each of them wanted to become stronger, imagining themselves standing on that battlefield.
All of them stared at Rorschach’s back on the screen with burning eyes.
Only Jewelry Bonney was crying while looking at a corner of the screen where Kuma stood.
"Damn brat... He really thinks there’s no one left in the Marines."
Sengoku’s face had turned completely black.
If they didn’t do something here, the Marines’ morale would suffer an unprecedented blow.
No matter what, they had to keep both Rorschach and Whitebeard here.
They still had high-level combat power available. Since Garp couldn’t move against Ace, he would have to deal with Rorschach alongside him.
"Karp! How long are you going to keep spacing out?!"
Sengoku roared, snapping Garp out of his grief and anger.
Garp clenched his teeth and stood up. Akainu had already been defeated by Whitebeard and fallen into the depths — his life or death unknown.
But the war wasn’t over yet. He couldn’t keep wallowing in sorrow.
Garp wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. His expression gradually became resolute, as if he was channeling all his rage toward Rorschach.
Garp leapt forward. His fist was coated with extremely dense Armament Haki and Conqueror’s Haki. If this punch landed on Marineford, it would be enough to destroy the entire ground.
"Vice Admiral Garp, the Hero of Marine Headquarters... I’ve heard a lot about you for a long time."
"Captain Shiki received quite a lot of ’care’ from you and Sengoku back in the day."
Facing Garp’s domineering punch, Rorschach still had the mood to chat. Then, just like Garp, he coated his fist with thick Haki and met the attack head-on.
A massive shockwave exploded from the point where their fists collided.
"Again?!"
The regular Marines were already numb.
The previous clash between Sengoku and Rorschach had already been too much for them. They couldn’t even stand properly, let alone join the battle. Now that Garp was clashing with Rorschach the same way, even the Marines who had managed to endure earlier couldn’t hold on anymore.
The violent wind blew away all the Marines around the two of them.
"What reckless people... With this much power, aren’t they afraid of destroying the entire island?"
Aokiji muttered with a headache as he instinctively took a few steps back.
A massive ice wall rose up, surrounding Sengoku, Garp, and Rorschach in an attempt to protect the Marines caught in the storm.
However, Rorschach didn’t care. As the user of the Float-Float Fruit, he could fly even without solid ground.
"Hmph!"
Both Garp and Rorschach snorted coldly at the same time, increasing the power in their fists.
Finally, their fists made direct contact. Both could feel the overwhelming strength of the other.
Boom!
Another powerful shockwave erupted. Even Aokiji’s ice wall couldn’t withstand it and collapsed with a loud crash.
Both Rorschach and Garp were pushed back several hundred meters through the air.
A long trench was carved into the ground beneath their feet.
When the dust settled, the two of them stood facing each other — both completely unharmed.
"Terrifying... Just one clash and Marineford is already on the verge of breaking apart."
The Marines swallowed nervously as they stared at the two figures in shock.
"He blocked it? As expected... This brat has already reached the pinnacle of the seas."
Sengoku lowered his arms, which he had used to block the shockwave, and spoke with a serious expression.
Whitebeard glanced back at the clash between Rorschach and Garp. His eyes narrowed slightly as the corners of his mouth curved upward.
"What tremendous power. This brat is much stronger than Shiki ever was. Just his physical strength and Haki alone are enough to fight Garp on equal footing."
