At that moment, everyone sensed something and looked up in unison at the figure high in the sky.
"Quick, fall back!"
Feeling the aura surging from Yun Ye, Yara hurriedly shouted an order to those behind him!
Rustle...
Upon hearing their officer's command, countless Marines retreated frantically in fear.
They were not clone soldiers. They could clearly feel the oppressive pressure in the air!
Judge looked up at the lightning surging in Yun Ye's palm, his pupils contracting sharply.
He, too, sensed an extremely dangerous feeling!
"Scatter!"
Judge roared. He was speaking to his own children. Those clone troops were nothing more than expendable goods; it did not matter even if they were all lost here.
His children were warriors he had painstakingly cultivated, the key to his future domination of the North Blue. Nothing could happen to them!
In fact, Judge did not even need to speak. The moment they sensed danger, Reiju and the other three had already used their high-tech boots to flee far away!
Although Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji had been modified and did not possess emotions such as fear, the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm existed in every living being.
Even genetically controlled modified humans were no exception!
Besides, they were not foolish enough to remain where they were and wait for the enemy's attack to hit them!
However, the Thunder Roar Cannon required very little charging. Just seconds after Yun Ye raised his hand, a violent pillar of lightning blasted from his palm!
"Thunder Roar Cannon!"
Lightning flashed and erupted, transforming into a pillar of destructive light that crashed into the crowd!
The nearly light-speed attack gave no one time to react. Almost the instant it left his hand, it had already struck the densest part of the crowd!
The next moment, light blazed as lightning shot everywhere, crackling loudly!
It was as though a dazzling miniature sun had erupted on the battlefield. Then—
A thunderous boom resounded across the heavens and earth, audible even from the other side of the island!
The ground began to shake beneath the impact of the explosion!
The resulting shockwave enveloped everyone. It was as if a category-twelve gale had swept through the battlefield, blowing everything away!
At the very center, countless clone soldiers of the Germa army were swallowed by the blast, dying on the spot before they could even scream!
Pebbles caught up in the shockwave became like bullets, more than capable of piercing human flesh!
Many clone soldiers died to those stones.
As the light faded, everyone looked over.
At that moment, time itself seemed to freeze.
Countless people stared blankly at the enormous crater in the center of the battlefield, dozens of meters across with a charred-black bottom. Their eyes were wide, terror filling their gazes, their mouths hanging open as if they could fit an egg inside!
The battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
"Th-This... such terrifying power!"
"M-Monster! He's a monster!"
"Is that really an attack a human can unleash?"
"One strike, and Germa's men were..."
On the Marine side, countless soldiers looked fearfully at the deep crater in the center, their eyes filled with profound terror!
They could not believe that a single person's attack had created such a horrifying scene!
One strike had almost completely wiped out more than half of the clone soldiers on the field!
"Damn it!"
At that moment, Judge's mind was nearly consumed by rage even as fear rose in his heart!
More than half of his clone soldiers had been killed by Yun Ye's attack!
Even the battle in the East Blue had not caused losses this severe!
How could he not be furious?
He wanted nothing more than to tear Yun Ye into countless pieces!
Elsewhere, the four Vinsmoke siblings crawled out from the rubble, covered in dust.
They had avoided the center of Yun Ye's attack in advance and had only been struck by the explosion's aftershock. With their steel-like bodies, they had not suffered any injuries.
Still, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji stared at Yun Ye, who had already landed on the ground, with savage expressions filled with brutality!
Yet they did not rashly charge forward. Yun Ye's attack just now had shaken them deeply as well!
Even an unfamiliar, inexplicable emotion they had never experienced before surged within them...
They did not notice that their hands and feet were trembling slightly!
When Yun Ye saw the scene his attack had caused, he nodded and said, "Not bad!"
In truth, Yun Ye had not expected the Thunder Roar Cannon he unleashed this time to be even more powerful than when he had first used it!
Sure enough, the stronger my physique, the more power I can draw from High-level Hado!
This was already a fact Yun Ye had confirmed for himself. Now, he was simply even more certain of it.
Although this strike had created an enormous spectacle and killed more than half the clone soldiers, it was still not enough.
Germa's clone army definitely consisted of more than these men. Yun Ye's senses had already detected more ships approaching, with clone soldiers aboard standing ready for battle!
This won't do...
Yun Ye still had some stamina left, but even so, the chanted Thunder Roar Cannon consumed a considerable amount of energy for him at his current level.
Against an endless stream of soldiers unafraid of death, no matter how much stamina he had, it would not be enough to squander!
If this dragged on, the final outcome would only be his defeat.
That was not something Yun Ye wanted to see!
Just as Yun Ye was making plans in his mind, sharp whistling sounds tore through the air from afar.
Before Yun Ye could turn to look, thunderous explosions rang out beside his ears!
Someone had fired cannons!
The explosions came so suddenly that everyone else was startled as well!
They turned to look.
On the distant sea, black dots appeared one after another.
Looking closely, they discovered that they were warships flying seagull flags!
Dozens of warships cut through the waves as they advanced in great numbers. Their seagull flags fluttered in the wind, displaying the might of the Marines!
These warships had fired only one volley, as though it were a warning—or perhaps an announcement of their arrival!
"Reinforcements from other Marine branches!"
"Someone finally came!"
The Marines who saw them revealed expressions of wild joy.
"They're finally here!"
Yara also let out a sigh of relief. With the reinforcements arriving, half the weight in his heart was lifted!
"The Marines..."
In contrast to the Marines' delight, Judge frowned deeply. Naval reinforcements had actually arrived!
And there were quite a few of them, enough to pose a real threat to his forces!
Reiju had not suffered any real injuries, though she looked somewhat disheveled. She came to her father's side, frowned at the sea, and asked, "Father, what do we do now?"
The other three also moved over and stood together with Judge.
The surviving clone soldiers on the battlefield gradually gathered as well, forming a protective barrier around the Vinsmoke Family.
Judge took a deep breath and considered his next move.
