Admiral Ryokugyu's Killing Blow to the Heart! Conqueror's Haki Breaks Its Chains and Transforms!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In just an instant, the four golden tentacles shooting into the sky were severed the moment they came into contact with the lasers, sliced apart by a heat and speed beyond comprehension. The massive golden stumps crashed down with a thunderous roar, yet they did not even make Kizaru's cape flutter an inch more.

On the ground, Ryokugyu did not even bother to dodge.

He sneered and raised his right hand, spreading his fingers wide. "Pointless struggle."

"Giant Tree: Forest Pierce!"

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Countless sharp, ultra-hard wooden spikes burst from beneath the ground like ten thousand arrows fired at once, shooting out even faster than the golden tentacles!

The golden tentacles that had always crushed any opponent were as fragile as tofu before Ryokugyu's Haki-coated ironwood.

Amid despair-inducing sounds of penetration, the remaining four golden dragons rushing at Ryokugyu were instantly pierced and entangled by hundreds upon thousands of wooden spikes, nailed firmly in midair. Then, with a teeth-grinding "Creak!", they were brutally ground into golden fragments that filled the sky by the vines!

"You... bastard!!!"

His all-out attack had not even been enough to make his opponent take him seriously. It had been crushed so casually.

Gild Tesoro knelt on one knee amid the ruins, blood bursting from the corners of his eyes.

Despair, like piercing cold ice, slowly froze his heart.

What kind of suffocating abyss of terror the Highest Combat Power that had ruled this Great Sea for eight hundred years truly was!

"Hahaha... Hahahahahaha!"

Piercing laughter echoed above the shattered golden ruins.

Admiral Ryokugyu, Aramaki, stood
