The Explosion in the Holy Land
Just two days after Borsalino and Alastair left, powerful naval forces attacked once again.
Led by Sakazuki, he led four Vice Admiral, along with Borsalino and Alastair, who had returned.
The Bondy Pirates suffered another heavy blow, this time facing even more monsters over a wider area.
This attack completely decimated the Bondy Pirates.
The casualties from the two attacks exceeded half of the total, amounting to at least ten thousand.
After this attack, the existence of the Bondy Pirates became meaningless, as all the main members were killed, except for Bondy a, who has not yet returned and whose whereabouts are unknown.
The Navy also harbored the idea of weakening the pirates' power.
However, the navy's massacre has drawn criticism, and many civilians have also been affected in the process.
However, they have already achieved their goal. The Bondy Pirates have been wiped out except for Bondy a. Even if Bondy a were still alive, he would not be able to rebuild such a large force.
The greater the power, the more it needs to be managed.
Most of the remaining members have left, joining the Hunting Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, or going to other seas.
They were afraid of another attack from the Navy. They realized that the Navy and the World Government wanted to eliminate them, but Bondy a was not there at the time.
The ocean is never something one person can conquer alone. No matter what Bondy a acquires that makes the World Government wary, he will ultimately face defeat.
"The casualties are really high. It seems that Big Mom is the one who benefits this time." J Island has been destroyed, Teach no longer pays attention to this matter. However, Mostima cannot ignore it. Looking at the intelligence that came in, he felt a little emotional.
Bondy a's influence was largely absorbed by other forces, including many pirates who wanted to accept the protection of the Big Mom Pirates.
This immediately increased the number of pirates under Big Mom Pirates's protection by at least five thousand.
This was an unexpected bonus for the Big Mom Pirates, whose number of pirates under their protection was relatively small compared to top-tier forces like the Night Pirates.
Where is Bondy a now?
This is a question that has puzzled countless people. Openly and secretly, various forces are searching for Bondy a's whereabouts.
It's not just about seeing what Bondy a does after learning all this, but also about what Bondy a gains.
World Government and Navy intelligence personnel are also searching for Bondy a's whereabouts, and based on their knowledge of Bondy a after this operation, they see them as their next target.
Every Marine Branch, Marine Headquarters, and even Holy Land are on high alert.
The current situation could be extremely dangerous for them, or it could be quite dangerous.
Once they obtain information about Bondy a, they can immediately launch an operation to round him up.
But if they can't find it, they have to constantly worry about potential terrorist attacks.
Intelligence is everything, but how easy is it to find a top-tier expert who is deliberately trying to hide in the vast ocean? Bondy a must also know that the World Government is looking for him.
Bondy a seemed to have vanished into thin air; even the Night Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates couldn't find a trace of him.
In the pitch-black night, by a burning campfire, Bondy a sat on a fallen tree.
Beside him, besides the Dyna Stone in the bag, were the Destruction Bomb he bought from the Night Pirates and the Plague Bomb provided by the Beasts Pirates.
He did not return to his now defunct base; he had lost everything—his brother and a few former crew members were all dead.
After secretly acquiring the powerful weapon he had prepared, Bondy a left.
Bondy a's vehicle is a submarine, hidden underwater. How could the World Government, the Navy, and numerous other forces possibly find his trail?
Moreover, he deliberately avoided populated areas.
Bondy a's vigilance was heightened to the extreme, influenced by his days of constant hiding.
Holding a cooked animal leg in his hand, he opened his mouth and tore at the cooked meat, crushing the bones as he chewed. In the firelight, Bondy a's eyes were as fierce as a wild beast's.
He spat out a piece of Bone Crusher, then raised his head and looked up at the "black curtain" in the distance, which stretched endlessly upwards.
This is the Red Line, and now he has arrived, like a bloodthirsty beast.
After sailing a submarine beneath the Red Line, the highest point is the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Amidst the surging waves, the submarine docked beside a giant rock that emerged from the water. It then departed, carrying two Dyna Stones.
"Get ready to face my wrath!"
A dark figure continued upwards, ascending into the air with Geppo, still tightly gripping two containers holding Dyna Stone in Bondy a's hands.
During this process, a special small device embedded in the Red Line rock wall reacted.
Meanwhile, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, orders were issued, and the powerful gathered.
Marine Headquarters also received the news and dispatched personnel to the Holy Land.
Having learned from the lessons of Fisher Tiger and the Flying Pirates, the World Government understands that the Red Line is no longer so safe.
Therefore, the World Government specially developed a sensing device and installed it on the Red Line. Once someone passes through a certain range, the Holy Land will receive the message.
At this point, they knew that someone was constantly approaching the Holy Land, and as for who it was, they could guess that it was Bondy a, that dangerous individual.
A purple comet flashed, Alastair made his move immediately, aiming to snipe Bondy a before he could ascend to the Holy Land.
"We cannot allow him to ascend to the Holy Land," the Gorosei gave a firm order.
Seeing the purple light flash overhead, Bondy a knew that the World Government had learned of his arrival.
Using the Geppo, he immediately changed locations. The Holy Land was vast, and the Red Line was also enormous; capturing him wouldn't be so easy.
Meanwhile, Bondy a sped up.
Alastair wore a receiver in his ear, which informed him of the approximate location of Bondy a based on the location sensed by the Holy Land through sensors.
In this way, from his superior position, Bondy a was quickly found by Alastair.
"Comet Impact!"
A terrifying purple energy wave emanated from Alastair, and under the purple light, Bondy a's figure was clearly revealed.
At the same time, it charged toward Bondy a with a terrible impact.
"Boom!"
A sensed the terrifying energy and nimbly dodged the attack using Geppo.
The next moment, facing Alastair's attack, Bondy a unleashed a punch imbued with Armament Haki and carrying terrifying power.
"Momo - Tenfold Power!"
Bondy a, who uses the More-More Fruit, is absolutely one of the world's top monsters.
The powerful punch compressed the air in front of it instantly, causing it to explode under the terrifying pressure from the two men.
The Comet Fruit both offense and defense, but it's still hard to withstand the punches of Bondy a.
The nearly crystallized energy kept breaking apart, but this did not harm Alastair.
Alastair has absolute confidence in his abilities.
"Comet Fist!" Powerful force gathered in his fist. While maintaining the momentum, he moved to the side, dodging a while simultaneously throwing a punch at Bondy a.
With the More-More Fruit, Bondy a has reached the pinnacle of speed over short distances. His legs lightly touch the air, and his entire figure disappears from the spot as if by teleportation.
Alastair's punch missed, a stopped fighting. Instead, he continued to rise into the air, approaching the top of the Red Line.
Continuing the fight would only lead to an endless war, and Bondy a didn't want to waste time; his operation had only just begun.
"Damn it." Upon seeing this, Alastair, radiating purple light, transformed into a comet and hurtled towards Bondy a.
The two chased and fled, and even with Alastair's speed, he couldn't catch up for a while. Bondy a also unleashed his full power, as he needed to finish this operation quickly.
The distance of a thousand meters was not long. During this time a, Alastair caught up with Bondy a and stood above Bondy. Above that was the Holy Land, and he would not allow a to go any further.
In an instant, Alastair unleashed all his power, his stamina rapidly depleted, and in a short time transformed into a comet with a diameter of 100 meters, directly colliding with Bondy a.
The area was so vast that Bondy a couldn't avoid it. A ferocious grin spread across his face. "Momo - Fifty Times Strength!"
An even greater power erupted in an instant, and black and red Inazuma swirled around a's arm.
Even under the protection of his abilities, Alastair felt a deadly sense of danger when faced with such a punch.
What truly determines the strength of a powerful individual is Haki. Armament Haki at its peak is the strongest defense, Conqueror's Haki is the strongest attack, and Observation Haki at its peak is the Future Sight.
Bondy a demonstrated his mastery of Conqueror's Haki's Haki, significantly increasing his attack power.
With the added power of the More-More Fruit, even Big Mom and Kaido would suffer significant injuries from this punch.
Boom! The impact spread outwards, causing the falling comet to pause slightly. The comet's surface cracked, and the cracks spread outwards, but were quickly repaired by the replenished energy and continued to recover.
However, the recovery rate was not keeping pace with the rate of destruction caused by Bondy a.
Alastair maintained an absolute advantage in aerial combat, and once a's punch ended, it had no follow-through.
Alastair, however, had plenty of stamina, and his strength actually increased.
The two remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air for over ten seconds, during Alastair successfully blocked Bondy a's punch.
The comet began its descent, pushing Bondy a towards the sea below; it was about to shove Bondy a directly into the ocean.
How could Bondy a let him have his way? The comet lost its impact, a turned around, standing headfirst on the comet.
Stepping onto the comet's surface, it burst into incredible speed, escaping the comet before Alastair could react.
"Although it doesn't align with our objective, you can all die!" Bondy a ascended into the air using Geppo. He hadn't yet reached the Holy Land, and his time was running out; Alastair would soon catch up.
Holding the containers in both hands, with a forceful pull, both containers shattered simultaneously.
"Momo - Fifty Times the Power!"
With immense force, both containers were simultaneously thrown towards the Holy Land.
"Not good!" Alastair's eyes widened, and he wanted to give chase, but it was too late.
On the edge of the Red Line, powerful figures from the World Government's sacred Holy Land gathered.
The appearance of two containers from below caused their expressions to change drastically.
The two CP0s reacted quickly and rushed over.
"Get out of the way quickly!"
This reaction was already their absolute limit.
By this time, more than half of the liquid in the container had leaked out, and the Dyna Stone was gleaming with an eerie purplish-red light.
They knew the consequences of the Dyna Stone erupting; the World Government had told them beforehand, so they absolutely could not allow Dyna Stone to erupt in the Holy Land.
But now it's impossible to stop it; we can only minimize the damage by keeping the Dyna Stone away from the Holy Land.
These agents are loyal to the World Government and would not flinch even at the prospect of death.
The two agents kicked the Dyna Stone into the distance, then decisively burned their life force, bursting forth with astonishing speed to catch up. At the same time, they used their abilities to transform into their complete beast forms.
Just like when Admiral Violent Bear pounced on the Star of Ruin before it fully exploded, he wanted to weaken the power of the explosion.
The ultimate result is destruction.
They are not the Violent Bear, Dyna Stone is not the Star of Ruin.
Boom!
In the boundless darkness, at the edge of the Red Line, two enormous suns appeared out of nowhere.
The terrifying explosion instantly destroyed the bodies of the two agents, and the Holy Land was engulfed by the blast, with a distance of over a thousand meters being swallowed up.
The large number of special agents gathered on the edge of the Red Line were affected.
CP0 Chief Zero intervened, using the power of the Saber Saber Fruit to neutralize the explosive force, preventing the Dyna Stone's explosion from spreading further into the Holy Land.
On the other side of the Red Line, in the Sabaody Archipelago, the enormous sound of the explosion could be heard from afar.
The Sabaody Archipelago is a place where all sorts of people mingle, and with everyone currently searching for Bondy a's whereabouts, both the Holy Land and the Navy are the focus of the sea's attention.
After the commotion, some realized that the Holy Land had suffered a third attack.
This news quickly spread around the world.
The explosion had a very large area of impact, affecting even Bondy a and Alastair below.
The shock of the explosion and the flames obscured his vision. While fending off the blast, Alastair searched for Bondy a's trail.
But now a has disappeared without a trace, his entire body covered in Armament Haki, descending rapidly using Geppo.
Only the core of the Dyna Stone explosion could threaten top-tier experts. Now, at this distance, the power of the explosion is not that terrifying, and both Alastair and Bondy a can easily withstand it without being affected.
"This is just the beginning." Bondy a looked up in the direction of the Holy Land, jumped into the submarine, and sank beneath the surface.
After the explosion, part of the Holy Land was in ruins, engulfed in flames, with many dead and injured from the blast wave.
Apart from the two special agents, the high-level combat personnel, though injured, did not suffer much damage.
However, high-end combat capabilities are still limited to a minority, and a considerable number of agents and Holy Land guards still died in the explosions.
This was an acceptable loss for the World Government, but the third attack on the Holy Land was a slap in the face for the World Government, damaging its reputation.
