"That's right, a greater interest!"
Kuzan picked up where Borsalino left off and continued speaking in a low voice to the three-headed phantom beast in front of him.
"After decades of exploring the ocean, I have to admit one thing, which is..."
The greatest injustice on this vast sea is the superiors who command our righteous navy!
The greatest injustice comes from the World Government, and even more so from the five of you.
Therefore, no matter how hard we try, we can only watch as tragedies continue to occur!
The sins in the hearts of the common people are indeed abhorrent, but the disastrous consequences of their evil deeds, even if they are pirates or great pirates, are far less severe than the unintentional acts of willful and reckless behavior committed by you rulers!
At this point, Kuzan bent down and placed his hands on the ground.
"The Ice Age!"
At what moment did the dazzling ice crystals begin to spread from Kuzan's hands, reaching all the way to the distant gates of Pangea Castle?
Many soldiers in Pangea Castle were instantly frozen inside their iron canisters.
Why are the guards of Mary Geoise all dressed like super-steel cans?
Even the rapidly moving ice floes froze the entire gate of Pangea Castle inside.
In an instant, Gawain slightly raised his eyelids.
The dazzling gate, constantly reflecting sunlight...
That structure, hundreds of meters high, is practically a mountain, and represents the gates of the world's highest power...
He's so handsome!
In the distance, seeing that Kuzan had already made his move decisively, Sakazuki nodded slightly.
Although Kuzan is indecisive and unreliable, his strength is undeniable.
In such situations, a strong figure is truly indispensable, even if he is a despicable, hypocritical dove, he is still a pawn in ushering in a new era.
However, no matter what, I can't let Kuzan steal the spotlight!
Even if we lose this battle, so be it; we can all calmly face death together, carrying the flame of a new era.
But if we win this battle...
After the adult successfully seized the imperial throne...
I still have to compete with Kuzan for priority in future policy agendas!
Thinking this, Sakazuki raised his head, and hot magma slowly flowed from his body.
Tick-tock, tick-tock...
Lava dripped onto the ground, first creating billowing smoke, then gradually spreading outwards.
Moments later, the ground within a kilometer radius of Sakazuki's house was completely transformed into a world of lava. The rapidly spreading lava even forced the people fighting nearby to make way for Sakazuki!
As the Logia that excels at assimilating the environment, while it's currently impossible to compare whether top-tier Logia or top-tier Mythical Zoan are more useful, no one can rival the Logia in its ability to modify the environment!
The dramatic temperature difference caused the base pillars of the Pangea Castle gate to nearly melt.
The melting of the lower layers then led to the collapse of the superstructure.
Click!
Kabun!
Amidst the crackling sounds of exploding ice, plumes of steam rose high near the gates of Pangea Castle, and sunlight filtered through the air, casting brilliant rainbows before Gawain!
Looking at the colors of the rainbow, Borsalino took a deep breath and then shook his head.
"Cough cough, this disgusting dampness."
With the two of you together, I'm afraid I'll need more than just one dryer.
But that's okay, because I happen to be someone who isn't an ordinary person.
Do you see that rainbow, my Five Elders?
Can you guess which of those rainbows I created?
As they were speaking, a rainbow suddenly twitched, its entire form whipping violently toward Saint Marcus Mars like a sail.
Seeing the rainbow whip suddenly coming at him, Saint Marcus Mars raised his right hand, and his dark claws instantly gripped the rainbow whip in his hand.
"Raising a tiger will bring trouble; it truly will bring trouble!"
To be so completely unconcerned about the destruction of Mary Geoise is truly... utterly despicable!
Gawain, we didn't have to pass on our mantle in this way. If you were truly worthy of everything, we could even have sent you to the highest throne!
But no matter what, you shouldn't have destroyed your hometown like that!
Mary Geoise is more than just a city; it's a symbol!
Have you ever considered what happens when people are certain that even Mary Geoise is engulfed in flames?
At that time, no one on the sea could extinguish the ever-rising flames!
As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Marcus Mars looked at Gawain with displeasure for the first time.
Even now, he still maintains an attitude of earnestly instructing Gawain and resenting his lack of intelligence.
Sensing the concern and worry hidden within those criticisms, Gawain turned around and gently nodded to Saint Marcus Mars.
"Yes, senior, the fire of Mary Geoise will be like a torch, completely igniting the flames in the hearts of every ambitious person in the world."
He will not only ignite the flames in the hearts of ambitious people, but he will also ignite the long-dormant fearlessness and hope in the hearts of everyone who is hopeful or overwhelmed!
But you know what, senior, that's exactly the kind of world I need.
I dare not heavily utilize the next generation, who are constantly seeking a way out of oppression!
Only young people who are liberated by the tide of the times are the vital force that the world needs in the future!
The reason I want to seize the throne among the Sky People is because I want to maintain my traditional position for eight hundred years in future wars against all countries in the world!
But having a title is only the beginning. What follows is war, which can shatter the superior status of nobles from all over the world, second only to the Celestial Dragon!
My predecessor, it is precisely because of the existence of the Celestial Dragon that we have been unable to unify the world.
If I do not eliminate every noble and king in every country, those who possess wealth and power will never understand that they should truly respect me!
If you want to unify the world, you must first annihilate the nobles of all the states!
And this fire lit in Mary Geoise is the pioneering action I'm about to ignite across the world!
With a flick of his sleeve, Gawain, hands in his pockets, slowly walked across the collapsing gate.
Directly ahead, countless people who had just escaped from the Ice Age stared blankly at Gawain as he slowly strolled along.
"It's Saint Gawain!!!"
A sharp-eyed slave was the first to recognize Gawain's identity.
Immediately afterwards, countless Celestial Dragon began to hurl insults at Gawain.
Gawain was too lazy to listen to their insults; he simply walked slowly, step by step, toward the towering castle.
On the way, thousands of the Army soldiers and CP members rapidly gathered in front of Gawain, trembling as they raised their guns and weapons to Gawain.
Gawain's pupils dilated slightly as he looked at them.
In an instant, an endless hurricane swept across the sky, turning the heavens into a vortex.
At this moment, Gawain's Conqueror's Haki had reached its peak!
At this moment, the ocean is so intense that no one can rival its heat for the title of the strongest Conqueror's Haki user!
Thump...
Thump!
The crowd fell to the ground in an orderly fashion, like Domino, and the sound of dumplings being boiled could be heard all around.
Only a few who still had the ability to fight, their legs trembling, charged towards Geppo, who was trekking across the Gawain.
Gawain flicked his hand, and Ace, shirtless, appeared instantly. He hugged Homitz, laughing as he looked around at the scene.
"I saw thick smoke rising from the ground, and even the clouds in the sky changed."
They really did start fighting, haha!
As he spoke, the flames of Ace and Prometheus enveloped Gawain in a soft, enveloping atmosphere.
He swiftly blocked the CP members, whose strength was still insufficient, and was immediately entangled by the members of the God's Knights!
The remaining twelve God's Knights had already reached Gawain's vicinity.
Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks are nothing more than this.
So, what happened next?
Step...
With a smile, he held the sword in his arms, listened intently to the fierce battle, and at the same time activated his Gravity Blade to instantly suppress a knight!
One more step.
The Kuma emerged from the thunder, its Cat Claws clashing with a knight's sword, resulting in a frantic stalemate.
With another step, Shiryu suddenly rushed out, and from stealth, pierced a knight's kidney with a single slash.
However, the knight did not take the minor kidney injury seriously. The two quickly engaged in combat, and the fight even affected many people who were lying on the ground. Blood was splattered on the scene, like ripples on a lake.
And after the appearance of the Aramaki...
Looking at the molten lava on the ground, he shouted excitedly.
"As expected of Boss Sakazuki, the smell of this lava is absolutely authentic!"
As they joked, the towering trees spread out rapidly, and thick vines carried Gawain on them, sending him closer to Sabaody Castle.
While standing on the vines gazing into the distance, Gion appeared beside Gawain.
Cang Lang!
After drawing her sword, Gion nodded emphatically to Gawain. As they looked at each other, Gion seemed to see glimpses of the past three years.
From that rogue Celestial Dragon would unleash a powerful attack at Marineford at the slightest provocation, specifically targeting him with his own power.
Now, this is the supreme emperor who gazes quietly at Mary Geoise and takes in the entire sea.
This is the kind of person you'll always be there for!
This is so exciting!
After a slight smile, Gion drew her sword to parry the attacker's attack, and in the blink of an eye, she was locked in combat with a knight.
Immediately afterwards, Doflamingo, Crocodile, and Jinbe all appeared.
Jinbe had a long water bag wrapped around his waist, and he swayed back and forth while grinning.
"I knew my preparations were spot on. Looking at the changes in the distant sky, I really should bring my secret weapon."
Haha, my seawater skills will definitely come in handy!
"Speak less, do more. Under no circumstances should the adults waste their energy on anyone other than Imu!"
As he spoke, Crocodile beckoned and summoned a sandstorm that swept across the sky. A group of Desert Spada enveloped a knight, and the two fought fiercely, locked in a fierce battle.
Doflamingo gave a wicked smile as he looked at the energetic Crocodile.
"Blow, blow, blow, blow, how interesting!"
On the day I return to Mary Geoise, can I really burn this damned city to ashes?!
Well done, cousin!!!
With a roar, lines surged and danced like ocean waves in the sea of sand, their target quickly pointing to a knight.
Immediately afterward, Jinbe made a quick analysis and then chose an opponent with a Devil Fruit ability, deciding to have a proper fight with him.
Just as Jinbe dragged his large, strong body into battle, Hancock roared and leaped up from beside Gawain.
"Damn trash, trash, trash!!!!"
"All of you, die... die!!!"
Fueled by hatred for the Celestial Dragon and fury at these bastards for daring to attack Gawain, Hancock instantly engaged a member of the Knights of the Order.
Despite not yet reaching monster level, Hancock fought even more fiercely than a monster, clearly unleashing Hancock full power in the face of the battle!
Seeing Hancock's heroic figure, Zephyr, who appeared right behind her, was greatly pleased.
"This woman, haha, she looks a bit like Ah He when he was young!"
"Tch, stop saying so much. I'm just a ship's doctor. Can you please not call me for combat or anything like that...?"
Crocus patted Zephyr on the shoulder helplessly, and then the two of them went to meet the last two God's Knights.
At this point, all the God's Knights had been divided up.
So, all that remained in front of Gawain was the CP0, who were mixed in with the enemy forces!
Looking at the neatly standing men in white suits, Gawain took a deep breath.
Click!
With a clap of thunder, Bullet and Rayleigh appeared together.
After glancing at the situation, Rayleigh nodded slightly.
"Have they already reached the very front of that castle?"
"Since that's the case, even if it costs me my life, I'll send you there!"
"Ha, old man, you're exaggerating."
Bullet scoffed softly, then slowly opened his arms.
"With me here, how could I let old guys like you easily give up your lives!"
Watch me escort the master into that castle!
As for you, old man, you can come crawling between my legs and vent all the anger you've accumulated over your entire life against this city!
With Bullet's roar, the rock giant rose from the ground.
A few seconds later, Gawain stood on Bullet's shoulder, silently looking down at Sabaody Castle.
On the ground, Rayleigh raised his head unhappily.
"Damn it, it really was coming out between your legs."
Giants and the like really have an advantage when it comes to insults!
I wish I had eaten something that could make me grow bigger.
Herbs that protect the liver and kidneys don't count, haha!
Amidst loud laughter, Rayleigh wielded his sword with incredible speed, causing chaos and disarray in front of him.
At the same time, countless bullets and artillery shells pounded on Bullet's massive body.
Enduring the blows and shocks coming from all parts of his body, Bullet slowly bent over and knelt on one knee.
He raised his left arm, and his left hand happened to rest on the Sabaody Castle.
"My lord, we're just one last step away!"
Whether we can overthrow this city ultimately depends on whether you can defeat the final enemy!
Please don't let me down, sir!
Otherwise, don't blame me for taking over and twisting your head off! Hahahaha!!!
Loud laughter echoed continuously, but Gawain had no intention of making fun of anyone.
He lowered his head and walked slowly, stepping over Bullet's arm one step at a time, and gently landed in Sabaody Castle, where Bullet had smashed a hole in it.
The moment he landed, Sabo and the others rushed out and quickly cleared out the enemies in Sabaody Castle.
As for Gawain...
After Sabo and the others had fought their way out, he slowly walked to the entrance of the Flower Room.
Inhale, exhale.
Are we finally about to truly witness Imu's power?
While pondering, Gawain pushed open the door and looked inside.
At the same time, Imu shooed away the fluttering butterflies and turned to look at Gawain.
