In the open space of the training ground at the port of Mary Geoise, despite the enormous size of the Pluto main cannon, Ortolan lifted it up with one hand, its muzzle pointing straight to the sky.
However, no one knows for sure if the main cannon has any factors such as massive recoil. According to the blueprints, this Pluto is an energy weapon, and energy weapons should not have particularly exaggerated recoil. So, just to be on the safe side, Ortolan held the giant cannon with both hands.
Looking at the console, there stood the spirited Sakazuki, Master Tom, as well as Momonga, Katakuri, Issho, and others.
Ortolan fell into deep self-doubt.
This doesn't make sense, does it?
I'm the boss, okay? Why do I, the boss, have to stand below and carry the loads, while my underlings are above me like spectators observing their leader's ceremony?
As Ortolan pondered these thoughts, Sakazuki, his stiff face now showing a hint of excitement, looked at Ortolan and asked, "Are you ready, Ortolan?"
"Always be prepared... Pshaw!" Ortolan responded with a curt "Always be prepared!", then immediately realized what he meant and cursed, "Damn it, hurry up and get to work!"
Upon hearing this, Sakazuki's expression shifted from excitement to displeasure. He complained, "This is the first time the Ancient Weapon Pluton Pluto been activated in over eight weeks. Can't you, Ortolan, have a little more sense of ceremony?"
If there had been enough time and space, Sakazuki would have even wanted to hold a grand celebration.
"You son of a bitch, you come down and carry the cannon, I'll go up and press the fire button, I'll give you a sense of ceremony!" Ortolan cursed.
Seeing that he was in the wrong and couldn't beat Ortolan, Sakazuki just pursed his lips and stopped arguing.
Then, he adjusted his mindset, his eyes filled with excitement, and stretched out his finger towards the launch button. After a moment, he took a deep breath, as if he had finally made up his mind, and pressed the launch button with a click.
Silence!
As if nothing had happened, the main gun remained quiet and motionless.
Sakazuki was taken aback, and Master Tom and the other members were also a little confused.
"Is it broken?" the Momonga asked in confusion.
"Really? The transport was very stable, and there were no problems when dismantling it, unless it stopped working a few years ago..." Katakuri hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Then he called out to Ortolan from afar, "Torun, check if the cannon barrel is blocked?"
"Oh..." Ortolan responded, transforming into Inazuma and arriving at the cannon muzzle in an instant, peering into the depths of the cannon.
As soon as he stuck his head inside, he suddenly heard the energy device start operating with a loud bang, and then a dazzling energy halo emanated from the depths of the cannon muzzle, almost blinding him.
"Holy crap!" Ortolan exclaimed, instantly transforming into Inazuma and disappearing from the cannon's muzzle. He then swiftly returned to his position and caught the cannon barrel.
The next instant, a beam of energy shot into the sky from the cannon's muzzle.
This energy beam was multicolored and flashy, like a rainbow converging. The muzzle was not large compared to the island, but the beam it fired was about the same size as the occasional lightning beam that shot into the sky from Ortolan.
For some unknown reason, the flashy energy beam, after leaving the cannon's muzzle at a height of about three meters, quickly began to spread out!
Like a peacock spreading its tail, it completely dyed the sky in a short moment. Even though it had tried to keep its distance from the Red Line much as possible, it still seemed a little too close. The halo of light brushed past the edge of the Red Line without making contact. The rock layers of the Red Earth were instantly smelted into a crystalline state, reflecting the colors of the energy pillar.
Ten thousand meters above the clouds, the beam of light was instantly evaporated the moment it reached the sky, even staining the azure sky itself.
Looking up at the sky from below, it seemed as if a huge, multicolored void had been opened up in the sky. Even from this distance, it was estimated to be about 100 meters in size. One can only imagine how terrifying the actual size of this void must be.
I'm afraid even a large island, or even a super-large island, would be covered up.
At this moment, Ortolan held the cannon barrel with both hands, feeling a strong sense of danger, a warning from his biological energy.
If this cannon were to explode at this moment, he would surely be reduced to ashes!
However, considering that he is Logia-type Fruit user, he probably won't die from this.
Although he sensed the danger, the cannon barrel remained remarkably stable and even icy cold, without transmitting any heat from the passing energy. It should be noted that this energy beam, which merely grazed the Red Line from a distance of tens of meters, had already smelted the Red Line's rock layers into crystals. The temperature was extremely terrifying!
But here, I can't feel it at all!
Looking at the enormous, seemingly unhealable void in the sky, Ortolan swallowed hard and muttered to himself, "The Ancient Weapon capable of destroying the mortal realm... it truly lives up to its reputation."
Keep in mind that this Pluto Pluton. In fact, Pluto has three main cannons and twelve secondary cannons. If it were to unleash its full firepower, it could probably destroy a super-large island in one shot.
Let's move the time forward a little over ten minutes.
While Ortolan and his men were testing the cannons, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, inside the Panger Castle.
Chamber of Power, both the Old Star and the Saint Figarland are here.
There seemed to be some disagreement between them.
"Uranus is not just a weapon of destruction, it is also our last resort! How can we use it so easily?" Saint Peter said with a furrowed brow.
Unlike Pluton Pluto, Uranus is essentially a massive airship Uranus!
Uranus's power device was damaged more than two weeks ago and can no longer be charged. There is not much energy left. This energy can be used to unleash the so-called 'divine punishment' to destroy everything in the world. It can also be used as Uranus's kinetic energy to keep them suspended in the sky and evacuate Mary Geoise when all else fails!
In the boundless sky, they fled from the attack of Ortolan.
The remaining energy, if used as a weapon, might only be enough for two shots. However, if used as the kinetic energy to power Uranus, in energy-saving mode, it could keep Uranus suspended in the sky for years!
"What's the use of that last resort? We might as well go all in and use the power of Uranus to decide the outcome! As long as we win, this world will still be ours!" the Saint Figarland said in a deep voice.
His words were somewhat disrespectful to the elders who held the highest authority, but no one cared about such details at the moment.
Saint Nashuro also chimed in, "I think Gringu is right..."
"Yes, how are we going to explain this to Im-sama in the Flower Chamber?" Saint V. Nusjuro said in a deep voice, "Who told Im-sama that the situation has deteriorated to the point where we need to use the power of Uranus to turn the tide?"
After Saint V. Nusjuro this, everyone fell silent.
Yes, the right to grant permission to Uranus is in Im-sama's hands. Without Im-sama's consent, they cannot use it. Now, the question arises: who should raise this matter with Im-sama?
If this situation displeases or angers Im-sama, it's entirely possible that he might kill you right here among the Flower Chamber in a fit of rage.
Who will step forward?
However, just as they were discussing this issue, a rainbow energy pillar shot into the sky from beneath the Red Line, illuminating the entire Mary Geoise!
"A rainbow beam of light?" Saint Peter stared at the beam of light in disbelief, muttering, "This...this is Pluto!?"
Pluto's attack was too dazzling and too easy to identify. In this world, only Pluton Pluto, the Ancient Weapon, could unleash such a rainbow-like energy cannon with such power!
At this time, among the Flower Chamber.
A figure also looked out the window, his gaze fixed on the rainbow pillar of light that crossed the Red Line and flew into the sky, as if he also realized what it was.
Therefore, his eyes held a mixture of reminiscence, emotion, and apprehension.
"Pluto...?"
A whisper rang out among the Flower Chamber.
