Finale

"Puff!"

Then an unexpected event occurred.

"Why..."

The Fire Gun fell onto the ice.

To everyone's surprise, although he was a little late, Mare also began to bleed from his seven orifices and blood spots appeared on his body.

"You are hopelessly foolish. It seems you have developed a fear of the God and regret your actions."

Enel looked at the three people in front of him, some kneeling and some half-squatting, his disdain was palpable, especially towards Mare.

He has never harmed himself, so the second act might not necessarily work on him.

However, due to the sudden change in circumstances, he fell into self-doubt and felt that he should not have come here, thus falling into a state of shame.

"Is that all? Act Three is already here."

Enel didn't care about the three people who were already dying in front of him. Since the performance had already begun, it should continue until the song was finished.

Act III: Broken Fish Abyss

The world changed once again at this moment; the dim, yellowish world disappeared, replaced by endless darkness and coldness.

Along with Enel, these Westerners found themselves in an indescribable body of water.

They wouldn't suffocate, nor would they experience the helplessness that comes with seawater, but compared to that, what awaited them was far more brutal.

"It hurts so much!"

The three, who had no Spiritual Pressure to begin with, felt as if their entire bodies were being torn apart by a tremendous force, as if they were about to be ripped to pieces at any moment.

"Run!"

Gorm, disregarding his two injured companions who were sinking rapidly, desperately tried to swim upwards and leave the waters.

"How could this be?! No matter how hard I try, I'm getting further and further away from the water!"

The harder Gorm tried to swim upwards, the more his body seemed to sink into the mud.

The water, so close yet so far, now seemed impossibly distant.

This was a defeat he had never experienced since joining the Knights of God, and he had never faced such a bizarre and utterly powerless method.

At this moment, a deep sense of despair enveloped his heart.

"Of course they can't escape. How could someone who has made up their mind to commit suicide by drowning easily leave this place?"

"Furthermore, I can hardly understand your feelings. If you are not mentally prepared to die, how dare you declare war on the God?"

Even in the water, Enel seemed so relaxed and at ease.

As he kept shaking his fingers, a stream of water clearly separated from the other bodies of water, swirling around his fingertips like a thread.

"Wait... let me join you! Even the Las Noches can't easily underestimate the fighting power of the Knights of God!"

Mare was on the verge of losing consciousness when he saw the seemingly unremarkable flow of water between the two people, and he panicked completely.

The danger signal given by Observation Haki is so strong that all that remains in a person's mind is the thought of begging for mercy.

If he hadn't gained immortality in the previous period, he wouldn't be so afraid of death as he is today.

Everyone dies eventually, and he was getting old. As a member of the Knights of God, dying in glory might not be such a bad thing.

However, the death of two of the original Gorosei angered Lord Im, and at the same time, his fear of Las Noches reached an unprecedented level.

He summoned all members of the Knights of God and granted them Power of Immortality.

But if he could live forever, he would be willing to be humble or whatever. Mare wanted to live; he had endless lives to enjoy!

He didn't want to end up like Saint Mars, reduced to a skeleton in a tomb.

"It's too ugly, Mare. Losers must die. We should have been prepared for this a long time ago."

Beside Mare, Garin was more composed, taking the deadlock much less seriously.

To be enemies with a force like Las Noches is a fight to the death.

If there's any regret, it's that before he died, he couldn't persuade Shanks to return to the family.

However, in retrospect, this may be a good thing.

He struggled to lift the longsword, but his body was powerless to do so.

"There's no need to argue. This performance is over. If you have a next life, remember this face and stay away from the God."

"Final Act - Itokiri's Iron Blood Stains the Throat."

As Enel flicked his fingertips, the silky water flowed down the throats of the three, as gentle as a spring breeze.

With the abyss gone, the world returned to its original state.

Garin and Mare collapsed to the ground, their eyes wide open, while Gorm in the air slowly descended.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and resentment, as if he couldn't understand why he couldn't escape.

The body of the Qilin dissipated, and what landed on the ice was just a thin, ugly old man.

As blood continued to gush from the wounds on their throats, their bodies slowly turned to ashes and scattered with the wind.

"Those bastards..."

After everything was dealt with, Enel slurred blood from the corner of his mouth and collapsed onto the ice.

This was the first time he had used this ability against an enemy since acquiring it, and it had also caused him some damage.

"Divine Judgment!"

Enel reached out and destroyed the warship equipped with Teleportation Array and Den Den Mushi blocking device with a single blow.

Although Enel wasn't afraid of them sending more reinforcements, it was best to avoid any unnecessary trouble in the current situation.

He ignored the marines frozen into ice sculptures by Kuzan, a bunch of insignificant characters whose fate was left to chance.

"Barto, take your men and get on the icebreaker over here to take stock of the spoils."

Enel soared into the air, and with just that light and airy sentence, through the Mantra, the electricity was transmitted in reverse to Hachinosu.

"Mr. Enel has won!"

"They're nothing but lackeys of the World Government! How could they possibly stand against the esteemed figures of Las Noches!"

The environmental changes caused by Enel's Bankai covered almost the entire sea area. Coupled with the sudden freezing of the sea and Barto's ban on going out to sea, the residents naturally guessed what had happened.

Now that the good news has arrived, everyone is overjoyed. In their eyes, Las Noches is the force they should support.

"As expected of Enel- senpai~"

Bartholomew, his cheeks flushed, led his underlings in a celebratory dance on the harbor.

Although he hadn't witnessed the great man's power firsthand, the sheer aura he had just witnessed was enough to stir his emotions.

"Now, things should be quiet for a while."

Kuzan touched his knees and looked into the distance.

The Knights of God suffered a series of casualties, including prominent figures like their former leader Garin. This was a devastating blow that even the World Government could not ignore.

On the other side.

Near the future island of Egghead, three air bear paws are flying through the air, indicating that Nolan and his group are about to arrive at their destination.
