Chapter 680: Justice Is Eternal and Unyielding!
"Aof, we must contribute to the Justice Cause together! I believe we can do it!"
"Of course, Kas. As long as we stand together, affirmation can become the greatest Justice! We'll eliminate all wickedness!"
"Aof, I want to join the Navy someday."
"Then I'll join too. You're the strategist—we'll crush wickedness together. You'll lead the charge!"
...
Distant memories flickered beneath the gleaming Colossal Shield in Aof's mind.
He shook his head, scattering the nostalgic haze. "Back then, you always hid behind tactics and strategies. Even now, you haven't changed. True strength comes from within. Let me show you what real power means."
With a leap, he struck the air itself, creating a thunderous boom. A force accelerated his body like a Cannonball, hurtling toward the Colossal Shield.
His fist slammed forward.
"Striking!!"
A concussive blast erupted. The shield cracked open, revealing astonished faces within—especially Wilbur.
They'd worked together for years. No one had ever shattered this scale of Colossal Shield.
Yet this man broke it with a single punch!
Aof grinned maliciously. "You think your Turtle Shell Barrier could stop me? Nothing in this world can! My ability strikes all!"
The Colossal Shield shattered, but Kas remained calm. "Don't panic—attack!"
White energy surged, becoming mist. Enhanced tenfold, the Navy encircled Aof. Weapons glowing with Haki, they struck as one.
Of course the New World Navy mastered Haki. Kas led both his Dougleg Navy Unit and elite G-3 forces—experts in Haki.
"Hmph! What can numbers do against this level of Haki?"
Aof spun, fists swinging.
"Striking!"
Air and white energy lashed like whips. The Navy cried out, flying backward in disarray.
"Justice..." Aof turned sharply, glaring at Kas and his aura. Fists clenched, he launched upward.
Boom!
The strike cleaved through the white energy like morning fog, dispersing it entirely.
"Justice is just like your strange strength—pathetically fragile! One strike and it shatters!"
The fading mist revealed Kas, standing stunned—like a bird that lost its wings.
Wilbur whispered, "Impossible... Justice broken? That was Kas's Justice—called unbreakable! Grand Master Kuro's teachings would never be false... yet here we are."
Beyond the Dougleg Navy Unit, even G-3 veterans froze. Though new to G-3, Kas commanded their respect—not for rank, but for his Persistent Justice. He defied all wickedness, even Yonko like Big Mom's subordinates at Pegasus Island. Under his Justice, they'd never believed Kas could fall so easily.
Victory wasn't certain, but defeat shouldn't come this simply.
"What Are You Doing?!"
Kas roared, voice shaking the battlefield. "Persistent Justice never surrenders! Is one defeat enough to break your spirits?!"
He pointed at distant villagers—watching in fear. "Look at this town burned to ruins! We are Navy—protectors of the people! Will a single loss make us abandon our duty? Let pirates destroy everything?!"
Aof stood unmoving, but Kas confronted him head-on. "Justice may fall, but it gathers again! As long as wickedness exists, Justice will always rise! Persistent Justice never bows!!"
White energy surged, enveloping his forces.
A G-3 officer shouted, "Justice doesn't retreat! We have our duty!"
Another gritted teeth, "Shameful! Pirates we've fought before! We'll die gloriously!"
The aura burned brighter than ever.
As Sengoku once said, Kas's willpower was infectious. Though the Dougleg Unit stabilized its strength without emotional fluctuations, mixing them with regular Navy amplified its power. Normal Navy might dilute "Justice", but their emotional intensity made it stronger—like now.
"Aof!!" Kas's voice rang through swirling white energy. "Individual strength is nothing compared to collective might! This Grand Line needs Navy like us—even without Grand Master Kuro's power, we contribute our Justice! Because we stand, you wicked ones cannot run rampant!"
"You've changed, Aof! Old friend—we are now just Navy and pirate! On the battlefield, it's either your life or mine!"
"Justice is eternal and unyielding!!"
