The crisp sound of a bell grew closer and all the Marine soldiers in the square heard it.
Before they could react, the previously 'standing still' black monsters began to move.
Their red eyes spun eerily, their pupils now even more sinister, glowing with a crimson light.
"They're moving!"
"It's the sound of that bell!"
Only then did the Marine soldiers realize that the black monsters had begun to stir slowly under the influence of the bell.
In the next mont, the massive muscles on these monsters bulged violently, as if stimulated intensely and they suddenly beca frenzied, rampaging across the square.
BOOM!
Over a hundred towering, savage beasts stomped wildly across the square, their imnse force and steel-like skin cause a lot of damages.
In an instant, they sent a nearby Marine soldiers flying.
In their panic, the soldiers, who had just lowered their guns, quickly raised them again and fired at the monsters.
But it was useless.
"Damn it, even swords can't cut through them!" So soldiers swung their long blades repeatedly at the black monsters, but to little effect.
In no ti, the soldiers in the square were thrown into chaos.
The black monsters seed to be in a realm of their own, charging recklessly, with no one able to stop them.
"Quick, move to the rear!" Sengoku's voice rang out, shouting at the soldiers below, while his own aura surged, forming an invisible circular zone around him.
The dust beneath his feet was blown into the air.
In the next mont, he tapped his toes and the sheer force shattered the stone beneath him.
His figure vanished from the spot, transforming into a golden streak of light that shot across the sky.
His target was the black monsters in the square.
At the sa ti, Kong also stopped holding back.
His aged face was filled with fighting spirit, his eyes resolute with a determination to fight till death.
His scarred arms were raised high.
In an instant, his two thick arms swelled, turning into dark iron limbs.
His muscles rippled rhythmically as a surge of wild power poured into his fists.
BOOM!
A deafening roar echoed as Kong shot into the air like a black lightning bolt, his fists clenched together, aiming directly at Shiki, who was shaking the bell in mid-air.
When the black monsters began to move, he had guessed that Shiki was behind it.
"Jiehahahaha!"
"So what if you know!" Shiki, with his signature cigar in his mouth, grinned wickedly as he quickly stashed the bell.
Once these black monsters were awakened by the bell, they wouldn't stop attacking unless Shiki used the bell again.
Clang!!
A sharp tallic sound rang out as two famous swords were instantly drawn, crossed in front of Shiki's chest.
His eyes narrowed sharply, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Thousand Slash Valley!" With a fierce shout, Shiki swung his arms down, sending a massive wave of sword energy straight towards the approaching Kong.
The attack carried a ferocious force, its montum overwhelming.
This strike was delivered with no rcy by Shiki, for he knew his opponent was none other than Forr Fleet Admiral Kong, the Steel Bone, his old rival from the Battle of God Valley.
Even at his age, Kong's strength was still not to be underestimated.
"BOOM!"
A deafening sound erupted as Kong's and Shiki's sword energies collided fiercely, unleashing a trendous force from the point of impact.
It was like throwing a stone into water, creating ripples that spread out in layers.
However, these ripples in the air were filled with destructive power.
In the next mont, Kong's figure was sent flying back over ten ters in the air, his dark arms covered in fine cuts.
Yet, with his almost supernatural agility, he quickly stabilized himself.
Imdiately after, Kong's aura surged once more and a bloody light danced in his eyes.
"Rokushiki Ougi: Rokuogan!" As soon as the words left his mouth, his figure stepped forward with a sonic boom, compressing the air with his powerful stomp.
"At such an old age, you should just retire!"
"Is this how the World Governnt exploits its veterans?" Shiki taunted as he watched Kong, who had been struck by the sword energy, still manage to hold his ground in the air.
Then, with a fierce twist of his arm holding the famous sword, veins bulged from his palm.
Instead of retreating, Shiki's figure flashed forward, engaging in close combat with the oncoming Kong.
***
anwhile, on the Marineford plaza, under the orders of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, all the marines began to retreat inside Marineford.
Soon after, they witnessed the appearance of a golden Buddha on the plaza.
His fists continuously swung, his golden body radiating a divine light, resembling a deity as he faced the black monsters.
His golden fists tore through the air, creating sonic booms with each strike, landing solidly on the black monsters' bodies.
The dark skin, which even swords and guns couldn't harm, shattered upon impact.
The massive bodies were sent flying as if struck by a force of ten thousand pounds, crashing beyond the edges of the plaza.
Sengoku's assault was like a wolf among sheep, charging through the black monsters, causing black flesh and blood to scatter everywhere, turning the plaza into a scene of hell.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku is truly different, so powerful!"
"These black monsters are no match for Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
"Justice will prevail!"
"..."
The retreating marines, seeing Sengoku on the plaza like a god of war, felt their spirits lift, their previously low morale improving significantly.
Even the previously dispirited soldiers felt their fighting spirit rise.
However, Sengoku's mood was not as light as his soldiers'.
Although he was quickly dispatching the black monsters, he noticed that not only were they tough-skinned, but they also seed to feel no pain, relentlessly attacking.
Even more terrifying, so of the black monsters began to devour the bodies of their fallen comrades, as if they hadn't eat in a long ti.
The monsters that consud their companions' corpses grew significantly stronger, their size and defensive capabilities greatly enhanced.
"There's no ti for prolonged battles!" Sengoku muttered to himself.
The next mont, the colossal Buddha hand of Sengoku swept towards the Marine fortress, as if conveying a special command.
In no ti, a group of towering ard forces appeared outside the square.
They stood about seven ters tall, with robust and muscular builds.
