บท 536: With a Vice Admiral's salary, you want me to risk my life?
"I know, I'll go over as soon as possible."
As Garp responded to Sengoku, he dealt with the trouble in front of him. The gifts that Whitebeard and Kaido left before they departed were quite valuable, whether it was the stormy sea or the meteors in the sky.
He wasn't afraid of this, but the soldiers on the ship couldn't handle it. If he left now, these soldiers wouldn't need to prepare for anything as even a drifting bottle containing their last words wouldn't make it out of this environment.
Even if he wanted to assist others, it had to wait until he could free himself.
"Quick... Borsalino's side doesn't need you anymore. Go assist Sakazuki instead."
Sengoku's voice disappeared for a while, and Garp seemed to hear him receiving other orders.
"Any changes?"
"Nothing much, but Borsalino ran into some trouble, though he has retreated now."
"I see. Leave the rest to me."
"The main task is to bring them back intact, Garp. This is an order from the World Government, don't do anything unnecessary."
With that, Sengoku hung up the phone, and Garp's lieutenant began directing the fleet to prepare to change course. The tsunami hadn't ended yet, and abruptly changing direction could capsize the ships.
Meanwhile, in another direction, the ship led by Borsalino had already retreated to a safe location. Except for Borsalino, who seemed to have experienced battle, everyone else seemed fine, and this was thanks to Lapras.
In order to deal with the tsunami's aftermath, Arceus had specially prepared Lapras. Lapras's method of dealing with the tsunami was to freeze the huge waves, but who would have thought that Kaido and Whitebeard would fight for five days and nights.
During this time, it was wave after wave of tsunamis.
Faced with the continuous tsunamis, the waves that were frozen earlier naturally turned into a large amount of floating ice. But when Borsalino was forced to act, the route to the Beasts Pirates' ship was no longer accessible for ordinary vessels.
This area wasn't in the polar region, so the Marines hadn't dispatched icebreaker ships.
Therefore, Borsalino's choice was to go and assess the situation himself first. Although sometimes he acts like an entertainer, his identity as a Marine Admiral in the original timeline was genuine.
He wasn't directly recruited through the World Military Draft but climbed up from within the Marine's training camps bit by bit.
Apart from his monstrous strength, he also possesses military achievements recognized within the Marine ranks. While his interpretation of justice may be ambiguous, it doesn't imply he idles around doing nothing.
As a Logia-type user capable of flying, he inherently holds advantage in naval combat, so he went there alone to assess the situation.
The pirates on Lapras's back soon spotted the light speck in the sky. Not all Logia-type users can fly, but some can transform their bodies into that element to achieve flight.
As a user of Glint-Glint Fruit, it was extremely difficult for Borsalino to conceal himself while moving at high speeds.
"Boss, it looks like someone powerful is coming over!"
Just as the Marines understood pirates, the pirates also understood the Marines. Just like how the high-ranking officers under the Emperors of the Sea are known within the Marines, these emerging Marine officers are also quite famous among the pirates in the New World.
Assessing the enemy's strength was also an important part. Jack was no different; when he first approached the ship, his eyes changed instantly when he saw the faces of the people escorting the ship.
"Headquarters Vice Admiral Borsalino...an annoying guy is here. Olga, assist me. This guy won't be easy to deal with."
While King and Zeraora had accompanied Kaido to the battlefield for the duel with Whitebeard, Shayna and Olga remained on guard aboard the ship. Kaido's decision to bring along extra officers as a precaution has now indeed proven to be useful.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Shayna had already flapped her wings and flew up. Following closely behind, Elizabeth with Olga standing on her back also took flight.
The aftermath of Kaido and Whitebeard's battle wasn't just the tsunami; it also brought along fierce winds. In such stormy weather, Inteleon's weakness in being unable to fly on its own was compensated for.
Relying on these air currents, Elizabeth was now able to freely soar in the sky. At the same time, a call was also made to King's side that they were under attack.
"It's only one person...but he is really troublesome."
Seeing no other Marines around, Olga also began to feel that this situation wasn't easy to handle. Her ability was far less effective in 1v1 compared to 1vN situations. Facing an opponent of this level, the effectiveness of her illusion ability would be greatly diminished.
Moreover, she preferred to attach illusions to existing objects rather than creating them out of thin air. These illusions were more realistic and had fewer flaws.
Nevertheless, she concealed the presence of the ship below and Lapras with illusion. Although it was impossible to completely evade the opponent's perception in this way, as long as Borsalino's attention wasn't focused there, it would generally be safe.
"Phantom, Flame Blood, Beasts Pirates have really mobilized quite a few people this time, huh? Scary!"
Although he said this, his hands were already gathering a large amount of light. But before he could attack, an icy aura suddenly arrived from below.
The aura didn't have much effect on him, but the subsequent changes caught his attention.
"This...is this an aurora?"
A rainbow-colored light curtain filled the sky, ribbons of light floating among the clouds like an aurora. Over the years, he had seen many strange abilities within the Marines, so this phenomenon didn't make him pause as he shot a laser in Shayna's direction.
However, the moment he released the laser, Borsalino noticed something amiss. Just as the attack was launched, his laser was weakened by the surrounding aurora. When the attack exploded near Shayna, its power was far from normal.
Before he could think further, a crimson red chain was already lashing towards him. Utilizing the speed brought by the Glint-Glint Fruit, he dodged the attack, but his expression lacked the previous disdain.
He didn't feel any discomfort in his body, yet his attack was weakened. This was the ability of Gigantamax Lapras, G-Max Resonance.
The powerful cold currents could cause some damage, but the main effect of this skill was to induce an Aurora Veil status in the environment. Under the Aurora Veil's effect, both physical and special attacks would be weakened by the pervasive aurora.
The degree of weakening depended on the number of allies and the strength of the enemies. However, because Borsalino's attack fell under the category of "light," under the Aurora Veil's weather, he was affected much more than others.
