Chapter 220: Madara vs Marines
The next day Morning, the just-risen sun shone lightly and began to light up the world.
For the Marines patrolling the Marineford, it's a typical day. The weather was nice, it was cloudless and warm. But, everything changed when an unwelcome visitor appeared in their sight.
"Captain Gozu, not good. We sighted an unknown person approaching Marineford. He doesn't look ordinary as he was airborne without any support." A Marine Ensign reported, slightly out of breath.
Hearing this, Marine Headquarters Captain, Gozu's eyes narrowed as his expression turned serious. He snatched the Spyglass from the Ensign and looked.
His pupils constricted. He saw a man in red Armor, his appearance is the same as the wanted posture circulated among the Marine officers. He saw it last night! The Bounty was 100 Million!
"Alert the Headquarters! He's no ordinary person!" Gozu ordered and went to confront Madara.
He may just be Marine Captain but he's strong as he recently graduated from a special Marine training camp. Youngblood burning to prove the world!
Skilled in Soru and Tekkai martial arts with some insight into Armament and Observation haki, his strength reached the level of Rear Admiral.
A loud announcement sounded from his patrol ship. "Stop! If you take another step, you will be shot dead. Surrender or die!"
Seeing Uchiha Madara in the distance, the Marine soldiers became nervous all of a sudden. They pointed their rifles at him with trembling hands.
Overwhelming coercion made them shake and they struggled to remain on their feet as if some kind of mountain pressing on their heads.
As Madara's figure approached, Gozu commanded. "Fire!"
But to his astonishment, no one fired. All the soldiers were in some kind of trance as if they lost their souls.
It made Gozu panic. 'What kind of sorcery is this?' Noticing Madara's figure nearing him, sweat oozed from his forehead. His body fails to respond to his thoughts.
Madara didn't put such a man in his eyes. He flew past him.
As for Gozu, his knees hit the ground and he felt relieved for a moment before coming out of his senses. 'I'm such a disgrace. Am I even qualified to be a Marine? I got scared by the opponent's momentum. It's not even the Haki of Kings!'
Clenching his fist, he rose to his feet brimming with determination to die. With a sword in hand, he used Soru and appeared before Madara.
Before he could swing his sword, he accidentally saw the opponent's eyes. Madara's three tomoe Sharingan pulled him into an illusion.

Waahhhhmm!
A huge alarm sound forewarned everyone. The highly trained marines didn't panic as they knew it was a basic warning, that sounds when someone intrudes Marineford.
Still, the Marineford went into alert. The marine families were escorted to a safe place. The Marine soldiers and officers assembled in the front bay.
A Rear Admiral received the report and notified Sengoku. "Sengoku-san, it's confirmed. It's the same guy who annihilated the World Government unit last evening."
Sengoku and other high-ranking Marines were just discussing Madara's issue. They were planning to send a Vice Admiral with good combat power to arrest the man.
But none of them expected the other party to come barging into Marineford in such an open and flashy manner.
"He came alone?" Sengoku asked. "Such a man is either a fool or extremely confident in his strength. From the look of it, he's no fool! What do we know of him?"
"From the video footage we got, he's an extremely strong man with weird abilities. A user of some unknown devil fruit ability. We don't know the depth of his strength."
"Kizaru, be ready to take action if the others fail to apprehend him. I don't want to risk the life of other Marines just to test his strength!"
On the Marineford Bay, the Marines assembled in no time. Leading them were highly skilled Vice and Rear Admirals in combat. They were ready to face the enemy.
Madara's figure faded away from everyone's sight and appeared in the bay using the Body Figure technique. The sudden change startled many but Vice Admirals remained steady.
None of them underestimates Madara. Someone who attacks World Government and breaks into Marineford is no ordinary person.
With his arms crossed, Madara scanned the army of Marines. The number should be in the thousands. It reminded him of the Fourth shinobi war and made him chuckle.
'Only such a grand welcome suits my style. But, I am in no mood to fight the small fries.' Madara thought and glanced at the surrounding sea.
'Having so much water around, it would be a pity not to try that technique.' Thinking through, Madara made hand seals.
His action alerted the Marines. A huge Vice-admiral who's part of a giant squad took the lead and shot at Madara with his giant battle-axe.
Following him, the firearm division took position and fired at Madara with Rifles and bazookas. Meanwhile, the Marines with swords pressed on under Vice Admiral Doberman's command.
Paying no attention to their attacks, Madara finished the seals and shouted, "Water Style: Great Exploding wave!"
In response to Madara's surge of invisible chakra, the sea behind him showed abnormal signs as it began to retreat. The next moment, a massive amount of seawater surged, forming a rising tide similar to Tsunami.
Under Madara's control, the seawater flooded Marineford's bay and drowned the Marines. The powerful force and pressure of the water destroyed the marine troops.
Though the size of the water wave isn't as high as Whitebeard's Tsunami, it was still powerful. Only some Vice-Admirals escaped the destruction, thanks to their quick response.
The scale of the attack reached the S level if it had to be mentioned in Hokage style.
Before the water wave could flood the entire Marineford, it was stopped by an old man. "Boom!" Marine hero Garp came out of nowhere and clapped his haki-coated hands mightily, triggering a shockwave that nullified the rising water wave.
"What's happening here, can't I sleep peacefully even in my old age?" Garp roared. He was awake in one eye while the other one was still asleep.
"Shut up, Garp. And, wake up!" Sengoku appeared behind Garp and kicked him in the butt. At the same moment, the figure of Kizaru materialized to Garp's left.
