Chapter 111: 109. Superman Tom Is Here!
"What in the world is that cat?"
Moby Dick's deck.
Whitebeard gazed intently at Tom, whose body was rapidly shrinking.
His thoughts are brimming with perplexing question marks.
After all, he's traversed these seas for so long, witnessing countless peculiar species.
However, if that cat splits a giant icicle like, will not be hurt at all, and his body can transform freely.
You can't claim to have encountered something you've never even heard of!
This utterly surpasses his understanding of the world!
Not only was Whitebeard unable to discern Tom's true nature, but even the Marines present alongside him wore incredulous expressions.
On the execution platform.
Garp observed Tom, whose body had reverted to its original form, and couldn't resist asking:
"Sengoku, have you managed to identify what species it belongs to?"
"I'm completely in the dark. I've even looked into the mink clan."
"And it's not just that..."
"Regarding the peculiar creatures in the Al Pirates' crew, we haven't been able to find any leads on their origins either!"
As Sengoku uttered the last sentence, he deliberately stretched his tone, as if discussing something unbelievably astonishing.
The next moment.
Just as Garp was about to speak.
He sensed an overwhelming and dreadful pressure emanating from the heart of the battlefield!
Garp's pupils abruptly narrowed , and the gaze he directed at Tom was filled with shock and dread!
Following Garp's line of sight.
As Tom donned the Superman attire, his aura surged instantly, and his body commenced a transformation!
At this moment, it appeared as though Tom was inflating his body, his muscles bulging!
But there was a difference.
The muscles on Tom's body were denser and mightier than those inflated!
His physique didn't balloon out as it would with mere inflation!
Accompanied by an overwhelming wave of coercion, it radiated out from Tom as the epicenter.
The Marines and pirates on this battlefield seemed to behold some profound terror, their pupils shrinking and sweat breaking out!
"Weird... Monster!!!"
With a resounding cry, the moment it echoed through the heart of the battlefield!
Marineford descends into chaos!
Screams, panic, shouts, all blending into a cacophony!
Yet, there are a few pirates with sturdy mental fortitude.
Upon witnessing Tom's peculiar attire, they couldn't suppress their laughter.
"Why's that cat wearing pants over its fur?"
"Even though he's quite intimidating, I can't help but chuckle, hahahaha..."
These contrasting voices stand out amidst the pandemonium.
They watched as Tom jerked his head violently, fixing his gaze on those individuals who were mocking him unkindly.
His botched debut had already irked him; how dare these individuals continue to laugh at him?
Without a moment's hesitation, Tom was prepared to impart a lesson to the group.
As the entire world focused on Tom, everyone experienced a momentary blur before their eyes!
When they looked again, Tom had vanished from his spot!
No one knew what transpired in that moment, not even how Tom disappeared!
At Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh couldn't help but furrow his brow upon witnessing the scene before him.
"Disappeared?"
The low tone dripped with skepticism.
Apparently, even Rayleigh didn't witness exactly how Tom vanished!
But it's not their fault, because Tom, embodying Superman, moves as swiftly as lightning!
This already transcends the limit of what the naked eye can perceive!
Just as the entire world searches for Tom's presence.
Surprisingly, some formidable individuals discerned his whereabouts!
The moment Tom vanished, a substantial portion of the battlefield also vanished into thin air!
The next moment, when Tom reappeared before the eyes of the world.
They witnessed Tom hovering over Marineford!
And beside him, a cluster of dozens of individuals instantly captured the attention of the entire world.
"Float-Float Fruit?"
Upon seeing the spectacle of Tom suspended in mid-air.
Standing on the execution platform, Sengoku couldn't help but furrow his brow.
They had previously suspected that Captain Al had consumed the Float-Float Fruit.
However, what they hadn't anticipated was that it wasn't Al who had eaten the Fruit, but Tom?
The moment this notion sprang into my mind.
Before Sengoku's mind could fully grasp the doubts.
They witnessed Tom gripping the enormous "human ball" and hurling it straight ahead like a bowling ball!
Bang—
Accompanied by the echoing clatter of metal balls on the wooden floor.
They observed the colossal "human ball" rolling, toppling countless Marines and pirates in its path.
Having accomplished this feat, Tom clapped his hands, wearing a relaxed expression on his face.
Just as he was about to make his way back to the boat, he was startled to find Hawkeye standing before him.
The moment he laid eyes on Hawkeye, Tom appeared to recollect something and vanished from the sky once more.
"Come yet?!"
Hawkeye seemed to sense Tom's attack, swiftly slashing a sky-splitting strike into the void!
"Clang—"
The resounding clash of metal reverberated through the air.
Diamond Jozu gazed at him in astonishment, while Tom, completely unharmed and untouched, couldn't help but remark:
"What manner of monster is that fellow?"
You must understand, even though he parried Hawkeye's slash.
Even after being pushed across the icy surface for tens of meters by the force of the slash, he managed to barely block Hawkeye's attack!
And there was Tom, hovering in the air!
The fearsome slash that Hawkeye unleashed upon him didn't cause the slightest harm.
It appeared effortless?!
Hawkeye glared sharply at the spot where Tom had vanished. Though his expression remained unchanged, his heart churned with countless ripples.
"This fellow... has grown significantly stronger?"
The moment the words left his lips, Tom's figure suddenly materialized before Hawkeye!
Almost on instinct, Hawkeye slashed at Tom's body with a black sword in his hand!
Only the clang of metal meeting metal resounded!
He witnessed the black blade, Yoru, quiver and waver upon contact with Tom's body, causing Hawkeye's arm to tingle slightly.
"Aha!"
Observing the sudden shift in Hawkeye's expression, the corners of Tom's mouth curved up ever so slightly.
In the next instant, before Hawkeye could react.
Tom grasped Yoru with one hand, slowly easing it away from his shoulder.
Hawkeye furrowed his brow the moment Yoru slipped from Tom's grasp.
Gripping the black sword with both hands, Hawkeye infused it with a potent Armament Haki.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of slashes rained down upon Tom's body!
Accompanied by the resounding clang of metal, sparks flew as the blades slashed!
However, a scene that astonished the entire world unfolded on the large screen!
Confronting several slashes from the world's greatest swordsman!
Not only did the cat named Tom emerge unscathed, but there wasn't even a scratch on his attire?
In an instant, the entire world once again descended into a profound silence.
Everyone's breath quickened involuntarily.
What manner of monster is this!!!
Witnessing Hawkeye's inability to inflict any harm upon him, the corners of Tom's mouth lifted ever so slightly before he vanished once more before everyone's eyes!
When Tom reappeared, he was already hovering above Marineford.
Tom was slowly shutting his eyes.
And when Tom reopened them, it was evident that the pupils of his eyes had shifted from black to scarlet.
Immediately afterward, to the horror of everyone present...
Tom's eyes emitted several laser beams, aiming directly at Hawkeye!
"What's happening?"
Hawkeye was taken aback. Wasn't the cat a living creature?
Why were lasers shooting out of its eyes?
However, he had no time to ponder over it now.
Facing the barrage of lasers heading toward him.
Hawkeye gripped the black sword with both hands, and countered the laser beams with several slashes!
Boom
Boom
Boom
Accompanied by a series of thunderous explosions echoing through the air.
Observing that his attack failed to harm Hawkeye, Tom closed his eyes once more, slowly raising his arm and making a punching motion.
The moment Tom lifted his arm, an unstoppable force surged forth, engulfing Marineford like a tidal wave!
In an instant, the world seemed to shift hues, and the wind whipped up with ferocity!
The moment Tom's fist descended, everyone sensed a weight pressing down on their chests, making even breathing exceedingly difficult!
Hawkeye furrowed his brow and swiftly maneuvered to evade the spot!
With that punch, he sensed an intensely perilous aura!
Accompanied by a formidable gust of fist wind, it swept across the sky and earth!
He heard only a deafening explosion reverberating through the Coast!
Boom—
On an unnamed island not far from Marineford.
The Red-haired Shanks frowned, gazing at the massive mushroom cloud billowing on the large screen.
"The situation of this war is steadily spiraling out of control!"
"Kaido, it seems I can't allow you to sit back and meddle in this conflict!"
Simultaneously, in a certain maritime region.
Observing the screen playing on the distant island, Zoro entered the training room with a vacant expression.
The power exhibited by both Tom and Hawkeye surpasses anything we've seen before!
World Government conference room.
When the Five Elders beheld the image playing on the screen, their countenances darkened considerably.
"This conflict is spiraling out of control; we must take action!"
"Quickly reach out to Kong, the supreme commander stationed in Pangaea Castle of Mariejois, and summon the CP0 operatives to Marine Headquarters!"
"If Charlos perishes at Marineford..."
Before he could finish, another of the Five Elders interjected with a cold snort, his voice filled with ire.
"Contact Vegapunk immediately and inquire whether any information regarding Seraph's secrets has been compromised. Otherwise, why does that cat bear such striking resemblance to the Seraph prototype under development!"
"That's beside the point!"
"The crucial matter is seizing control of this war's momentum!"
After a series of fervent deliberations among the Five Elders, they ultimately pinned their hopes on Master Im.
Whether it was the former Thunder Goddess Nami or the trio of Admirals who followed, along with the formidable presence of Tom.
Who knows how many formidable combatants the Al Pirates have yet to unleash!
Faced with this unpredictable variable, they found themselves at a loss!
Pushing open the weighty doors, the Five Elders knelt before the throne of the world's sovereign, their heads bowed in deference, as they recounted the events of Marineford with trembling voices.
With their foreheads pressed against the ground, they dared not meet Im's gaze directly.
They observed Im's silence after listening to the report from the Five Elders.
Yet, it was this very silence that sent shivers down their spine.
Sensing that the Five Elders' composure was on the verge of crumbling, Im finally spoke, his voice measured and grave.
"If this conflict spirals completely out of control, I will utilize the might of Uranus to utterly annihilate both the Al Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Even if Marineford itself were to vanish, it matters not."
