Surrounded and under attack, Arthur focused entirely on his opponents, unable to spare any attention for his surroundings.
"Gotcha, little fella!" Kizaru's drawling voice came from behind. A hand clamped down on Arthur's shoulder.
Kizaru, ignoring his previous setbacks, had seized the opportunity to restrain Arthur, creating an opening for the others. Only his incredible speed could have allowed him to catch Arthur off guard.
"You annoying monkey!"
Blue electricity flared in Arthur's eyes, the lightning around his body crackling with renewed intensity. The ambient electrons within the barrier surged, the electric field reaching its peak.
"Two Hundred Million Volts—Thunder God!!!"
A surge of electricity engulfed Arthur, transforming him into a towering, fifteen-foot-tall giant of blue lightning. He swung a massive lightning fist at Kizaru.
"GET HIM!!!!" Sengoku roared, using Soru to instantly close the distance. Garp and Zephyr followed close behind, attacking from three directions, their fists unstoppable.
Tsuru and Kuzan, who hadn't joined the initial assault, launched their attacks, aiming for the gaps in Arthur's defense, boxing him in.
Kuzan's Ice Time Capsule—a delayed but devastating attack, sent a wave of freezing air towards Arthur, threatening to immobilize him.
"High-Voltage Heat Wave!"
Arthur roared, unleashing a blast of intense heat from his Thunder God form, neutralizing the freezing air. The ice on the ground melted, the exposed Yarukiman Mangrove roots beginning to smolder.
With the immediate threat neutralized, Arthur faced the coordinated assault of Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr, his Electromagnetic field reinforcing his Thunder God form.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed, a thrill coursing through him. There was nowhere to run. He would fight—and fall—gloriously.
Sengoku's Golden Buddha form, shimmering with a pale light—the telltale sign of his Impact Wave—was the first to reach him.
Sengoku channeled the impact wave into his fist, the pressure so intense that the air around it rippled. The condensed ball of energy, the size of a human head, shot towards Arthur.
Arthur's Thunder God Fist, doubly protected by lightning and electromagnetism, met the Impact Wave head-on.
Before the outcome was decided, Garp's iron fist arrived, aimed at Arthur's massive lightning head. The sheer force of the blow sent a wave of pressure crashing against Arthur, the danger palpable. He'd felt this terrifying power before.
Unable to dodge, Arthur braced himself, opting to block Zephyr's attack with his body while meeting Garp's iron fist with a powerful kick.
Withstanding Sengoku's Impact Wave and Garp's monstrous punch had pushed Arthur to his limit. Zephyr's attack sent him flying, crashing against the unyielding barrier.
The impact rattled his entire body, threatening to shake him apart. He hadn't overestimated his own resilience, but he had underestimated Zephyr's strength.
Arthur pushed himself up, his six-meter-tall Thunder God form flickering. Before he could recover, Sengoku's impact wave struck again.
Arthur barely managed to block, the impact sending him crashing against the barrier once more. They wouldn't give him a moment's respite, their attacks relentless, like a raging storm.
He barely managed to fend off the trio's assault, sustaining further injuries. And Tsuru, Kuzan, and Kizaru weren't just standing by.
As Arthur reeled from the impacts, Kuzan and Kizaru unleashed their attacks—a blinding golden beam of light and a wave of freezing ice converging on him.
While Kizaru's light couldn't harm Arthur directly, it forced him to divert his attention, draining precious energy to manipulate the electromagnetic field and redirect the attack.
Garp grinned, his Justice coat flapping wildly in the chaotic winds, his right arm, coated in black Armament Haki, hard as diamond.
Zephyr, his eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses, moved in from the left. Sengoku gathered another impact wave, ready to strike. Tsuru moved to cut off any potential escape route.
Trapped and overwhelmed, Arthur felt the suffocating pressure threatening to crush him. He ripped off his iron sand belt, the metal transforming into a swarm of coin-sized projectiles.
The distance was minimal—a few dozen yards…
He created an electromagnetic field, forming a launch trajectory, the repulsive force reaching its peak.
"Super Electromagnetic Railgun!!"
The iron pellets accelerated instantly, propelled by the magnetic field, becoming streaks of blue light, like lasers. The air screamed as they tore through it at speeds exceeding Mach 10, the shockwave shattering the remaining ice on the ground.
'Ugh!' Zephyr's black fist collided with a railgun pellet.
The immense force stopped his attack cold, sending a jolt of pain through his arm, leaving his fist scorched black. He'd been the furthest away, allowing the railgun pellet to reach its maximum velocity and destructive potential.
Sengoku and Garp, closer to Arthur, weren't hit with the full force. They were pushed back dozens of yards, their hands bloodied from blocking the impacts.
Tsuru, calm and collected, her Observation Haki predicting the railgun's trajectory, gracefully evaded the attack.
Kuzan and Kizaru weren't so lucky. They were hit head-on, sent crashing against the barrier, incapacitated.
Five railgun pellets—five devastating impacts—had completely disrupted the Marines' coordinated assault, pushing back Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr, and taking Kuzan and Kizaru out of the fight.
But the sudden, intense attack had drained Arthur's stamina significantly. The blue lightning comprising his Thunder God form flickered erratically, threatening to dissipate. He was exhausted, his stamina regeneration unable to keep up.
Sensing Arthur's weakness, Sengoku and Garp exchanged glances. Ignoring their own injuries, they moved in, one from the left, one from the right, closing the distance for the final blow.
