Suppressed Boss

The battle at the gate of Pangea Castle continues. The building is quite sturdy, so even with so many powerful figures fighting here, the damage to Pangea Castle is not too great, and there is no need to worry about the building collapsing.

In the fierce battle, the guards of Mary Geoise gradually showed signs of weakness. Perhaps there was not much difference in the overall combat strength between the two sides, but in terms of morale, the Revolutionary Army was in high spirits, while the guards of Mary Geoise were listless and dispirited. Under such circumstances, they would naturally fall into a disadvantageous position.

Even the Fleet Admiral Kong, was already struggling against Long, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and it was clear that his strength was far inferior to Long's.

After all, this Fleet Admiral of the three armies is now over a hundred years old, while Long is currently in his forties or fifties, so it can be said that the longer the battle goes on, the more the situation will tilt in Long's favor.

Of course, although the morale of Mary Geoise's last defenders was low, they still inflicted considerable casualties on the Revolutionary Army in their desperate counterattack.

Although Vegapunk stood by and watched the battle, he did not intervene in the fighting unless the dragon spoke.

The Revolutionary Army and the Umbrella Corporation are, after all, two different forces. Even if they are allies now, who knows if they will turn against each other in the future?

The reason why Dragon didn't ask for help was, to some extent, to draw a clear line between the two sides. For Dragon, Vegapunk was not an enemy that had to be overthrown, but he was definitely a potential opponent that had to be guarded against.

In Dragon's eyes, if the Revolutionary Army were to get too close to Vegapunk's Umbrella Corporation at this time, it would not be beneficial to the future development of the Revolutionary Army, but would instead affect the purity of the Revolutionary Army.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Revolutionary Army is currently in the upper hand and has not suffered too many losses; otherwise, Dragon would definitely not have considered so many issues.

Just as Vegapunk was watching the battle with boredom, he suddenly felt a tremor inside Pangea Castle.

"Um!?"

Vegapunk looked in surprise into the interior of Pangea Castle. Hundreds of the robots that had poured into Pangea Castle had been destroyed in an instant.

After multiple modifications, Vegapunk's robots have reached a combat power close to that of a 50 million bounty pirate, roughly equivalent to the strength of an ordinary Marine Headquarters Captain.

Generally speaking, this level of combat power is beyond the realm of cannon fodder. Even if facing the Four Emperors Three Admirals, they would not be instantly killed if they were fully prepared.

Not to mention that robots have no vital weaknesses compared to humans, and their vitality and combat endurance are far superior to those of ordinary people.

Moreover, it wasn't just one robot; it was hundreds of robots that completely lost signal at the same instant. Vegapunk's robots were all equipped with Sea Stone Factor, so there was no way to use any counter- Devil Fruit to cheat; they could only be destroyed by sheer force.

Destroying hundreds of robots in one go is almost equivalent to taking down hundreds of Marine Headquarters Colonel captains specializing in defense. Even if the Three Admirals of the Navy joined forces, they would probably have had a hard time accomplishing such a feat.

The rumbling sound gradually grew louder, and the number of destroyed robots increased. Vegapunk's eyes flickered slightly, and he gave his subordinates a look. The group of people then slowly retreated a considerable distance.

At the same time, Vegapunk waved his hand, and a large number of fearless robots rushed towards Pangea Castle. No matter what kind of opponent they were, if the opponent could kill hundreds of robots in a short time, he could easily replenish them with thousands of robots. If thousands of robots were not enough, he could call on tens of thousands more to go to the battlefield.

Not to mention that Vegapunk really didn't believe that the mysterious Imu- sama was strong enough to instantly kill thousands of machine warriors. If that were the case, even if the Four Emperors Three Admirals were combined, they would be nothing compared to him. Why would he need to stay in Pangea Castle Tenten and pretend to be mysterious?

Of course, this approach may not be very exciting, but it is very much like One Piece. At least, apart from Yamato, everyone else had no objection to Vegapunk's tactics.

The next second, a loud boom was heard, and the huge Pangea Castle trembled instantly, showing signs of collapsing.

"Hoo hoo hoo, have these Celestial Dragons been driven to the brink of desperation?!"

The former Fleet Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the World Government, Steel Bones Kong, wore a satisfied smile. He turned to look at his current opponent, Dragon, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Old ships always sink and new ships always set sail on the high seas. It seems the era of the World Government has come to an end, and I, too, will disappear into this era along with this old ship..."

"Let this old man see just how capable your new ship really is!"

Dragon frowned and looked at Sora. He didn't understand why this former Fleet Admiral, who harbored no goodwill towards the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, would still risk his life for them. This made him feel somewhat frustrated.

But as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon had seen a lot on the sea. Since Kong was now determined to fight to the death, the best way for him to show the greatest respect to this former naval Fleet Admiral was to fulfill his wish!

As Kong launched a near-frenzied attack with almost no defense, the injuries on both Long and the former Fleet Admiral continued to worsen. Finally, after a near-death struggle, the Haki dragon claw pierced through the chest and heart of the giant Kong.

Even the dragon, who possesses the most agile Logia Wind-Wind Fruit, was blasted to the point of coughing up blood by Conqueror's Haki. Of course, for these powerful beings on the sea, such an injury was not even considered a minor one, and it wouldn't even affect their fighting ability.

It's unclear whether he ultimately held back, or whether the former Fleet Admiral was simply too old and his strength had declined too drastically. Of course, it could be a combination of both. In any case, his performance was completely unlike that of Fleet Admiral.

Without even taking a breath after winning the battle, the dragon began to attack the remaining guards of Mary Geoise without hesitation. As more and more guards fell, his men were freed up and, like a snowball rolling downhill, wiped out all the remaining guards of Mary Geoise.

Just then, with a deafening roar, almost half of the entire Pangea Castle collapsed, and a huge figure slowly raised its head.

"What is that? The World Government's trump card?"

The group of the Revolutionary Army stared in shock at the enormous creature that crawled out of Pangea Castle. It was a jet-black Western Giant Dragon that looked at them with icy eyes.

"No wonder they're called Celestial Dragons, it turns out their ancestors were dragons!"

Vegapunk squinted at this unexpected result; Imu was actually Devil Fruit User the Giant Dragon Fruit, which surprised even Vegapunk.

After all... while the Giant Dragon Fruit is also Mythical Zoan and can be considered a very powerful Devil Fruit, it is still slightly inferior to the prestige of Imu, the final boss.

However, after careful consideration, Vegapunk also felt that this was both unexpected and reasonable. Devil Fruit is Devil Fruit, and the user's strength is their own strength.

Both being top-tier Devil Fruit User, Kaido, the Devil Fruit User the Strongest Creature in the Sea, Land, and Air. Among the Four Emperors of the same level, he can be considered a strongman. In Phoenix Fruit, Marco, the user of the Phoenix Fruit, is just an ordinary First Mate a Yonko, and he couldn't even take over after Whitebeard's death.

And then there's the even more shameful Kurozumi Orochi. This Yamata no Orochi Fruit user, judging solely by the fruit's ability, is in no way inferior to the Azure Dragon Fruit or the Phoenix Fruit. But as for his strength... any one of Whitebeard's division commanders, or any renowned strongman under Kaido, could easily kill him a dozen times over.

Ultimately, the idea that there is no strongest Devil Fruit, only the strongest Devil Fruit User, is just empty talk. Devil Fruit only increase potential; whether or not all that potential can be converted into real strength depends on the user's talent and hard work.

While Imu's Fantasy Species Giant Dragon Fruit is not as powerful as other Fantasy Devil Fruit like the Azure Dragon Fruit, it doesn't mean his strength is comparable to Kaido's.

Moreover, although he has the appearance of Giant Dragon, Devil Fruit are incredibly diverse, and Vegapunk wouldn't be entirely certain about Imu's Devil Fruit abilities until the very end.

At that moment, Imu opened his mouth, and a deafening voice instantly echoed throughout the entire void city:

"Vegapunk, and those Revolutionary Army brats? I never thought you'd push me to this point!"

"Let me wake up ahead of time and start the plan ahead of schedule... Even if you die ten thousand times, it won't be enough to atone for your sins!"

Vegapunk casually picked at his ear, looking completely unconcerned, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and turned to Hancock, saying:

"Hancock, beat him up for me!"

Hancock, who had been standing beside Vegapunk, nodded slightly. Facing the ancestor of the Celestial Dragons, a smile actually appeared on her lips, but this smile had none of the charm it usually had. Instead, it sent chills down one's spine.

Because those eyes, as bright as stars, held no trace of a smile, but instead revealed a look of coldness and hatred!

With a wave of her hand, several Truth-Seeking Orbs, shimmering with light, fell into Hancock's hand and merged into a golden longsword. Immediately, the golden light surged, and she slashed down without hesitation!

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

Golden light pierced the heavens and the earth. When it struck down, the Black Dragon Imu's expression changed drastically. Its long, scale-covered tail lashed out like a whip, blocking its head. Faint black Inazuma flickered across the entire tail.

Crack! The dragon's tail briefly blocked the golden beam of light, followed by a mournful dragon roar. Amidst a shower of flying dragon blood, the massive dragon tail crashed to the ground.

Fortunately, thanks to the slight obstruction of the dragon's tail, Imu finally escaped the fate of being instantly killed. With a look of pain on his face, he transformed into a tailless dragon.

After the golden beam of light severed the dragon's tail, its power was only slightly reduced. It then rapidly plunged into the entire Mary Geoise. Amidst the tremors, Mary Geoise was blasted in two by the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

Then, amidst cracking sounds, black cracks appeared in the outer space surrounding Mary Geoise, eventually shattering completely, and Mary Geoise returned to the Red Line.

However, Hancock ignored this; she simply stared intently at Imu, her smile widening and her murderous aura intensifying.

"You actually dodged it... That's brilliant! I was just feeling too hasty and thought that if I had killed you in one move, I would have been letting down all those years of hatred!"

"Hmm... this time it's the tail, next time it'll be your wings! Let me see how many parts you still have that can be removed?"

The Revolutionary Army members standing to the side, as well as Vegapunk's subordinates, were all horrified. The Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion that had just been used had not only frightened Imu, who was their enemy, but also their allies.

They all knew Hancock was strong, but in the end, to avoid causing too much natural disaster, Hancock never showed them too many destructive moves.

Even today, feeling the destructive power of that golden Lightsaber that almost made them tremble, the group is absolutely convinced that if that move had not been unleashed in Mary Geoise within the spatial gap, but rather on the open sea, even the Red Line would have been cleaved in two!

In reality, their estimate was somewhat conservative. If Hancock were to unleash this Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion on the outside world, it wouldn't just be the Red Line split in two; its power would be enough to spread outwards and carve a massive trench across the entire New World.

"Lady Hancock, please be careful. We're no longer in that spatial rift. It's very dangerous to fight here!"

Kozuki Hiyori a slightly pale face. Of course, the danger she was referring to was not that Hancock was in danger, but that others might be in danger due to the aftermath of the battle.

Hancock merely raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, showing no sign of emotion.

However, when she made her move, Hancock did restrain herself a bit. At least she didn't use a powerful move like the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. Instead, she used the Truth-Seeking Orb as weapons and slashed directly at Imu.

Although a section of Imu's tail had been cut off, he did not seem flustered. He raised his head, took a deep breath, lowered his head, puffed out his chest, opened his mouth wide, and spewed out a scorching wave of dragon flames.

The mechanical soldiers that had been surrounding and attacking the giant Black Dragon were melted into molten iron almost instantly. The scorching dragon flames condensed into a fiery whirlwind that rushed directly towards Hancock.

Seeing this, Vegapunk finally understood how his robots had been instantly annihilated. This temperature was far stronger than Kaido's dragon flames.

But the terrifying dragonfire was useless against Hancock. With a casual slash of her sword, the terrifying whirlwind of fire was instantly split in two, creating a path to the heavens.

"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"

Without directly using Truth-Seeking Orb weapons, Hancock merely used a fist formed from Chakra to blast Imu into coughing up blood.
