Dialogue

Holy Land Mary Geoise.

After the Uranus's attack, the land was devastated, and heat emanated from it.

The direct attack range of the Uranus is a ten-kilometer area, but the affected range is more than thirty kilometers.

Large areas were completely destroyed. There may still be some debris around, but within the range of the Uranus's direct bombardment, everything was basically crushed to dust, and even small tiles were hard to find.

The entire land sank a full hundred meters under the terrifying force, forming a colossal crater.

Only the areas that originally belonged to Pangu City and the World Government building still have some ruins remaining.

As the island warships drew closer, Teach unleashed his Observation Haki, covering the entire area.

With his vast Observation Haki, Teach sensed numerous still-present life forms.

This was also the first time he had observed the entire Mary Geoise so openly.

The still large army, the Holy Land Guard, and the Celestial Dragons' living quarters.

Some Celestial Dragons may have died directly at the hands of the Uranus, but many Celestial Dragons survived.

Since the repeated upheavals in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, especially after the Flying Pirates launched their war against the World Government, Mary Geoise has no longer been safe.

Therefore, the Celestial Dragons moved their residences far away from the political core of the Holy Land, so that they could avoid direct attacks should anything happen to the Holy Land.

As it turns out, they were right.

This action saved many Celestial Dragons and Holy Land guards who might have died directly from the Uranus's cannon fire.

Therefore, the Holy Land Guard still retains at least half of its strength, which is still a powerful force, in addition to the army.

These people will have to be dealt with by the Night Empire and the Revolutionary Army together.

Of course, as the core area of World Government, the number of deaths is staggering, after all, many powerful individuals are concentrated in this region.

Among them were the two newly appointed CP0 members, two of the Four Guardians, who died directly at the hands of the Uranus.

According to Teach's perception, despite the bombardment by the Uranus, three people survived in that area: the one he was dealing with, and two of the Gorosei.

They are all concentrated in the two areas of Pangu City and the World Government Building.

And throughout Mary Geoise, there are many powerful individuals, including the Holy Guards and even the Celestial Dragons.

Two other powerful forces remained unaffected: Army Admiral Isaac and the current CP0 Chief "Earth" Gaia.

These two will be dealt with by Dragon and Ares respectively.

The Holy Land was in complete chaos, filled with screams, still reeling from the shock of the previous attack.

The earth shook violently, a phenomenon never before seen.

Those directly affected by the Uranus's attack could even see the terrifying crater, with smoke constantly billowing in the air.

"There are still two of the Gorosei, but they are now half-crippled. Shiryu and Mobius, I'll leave them to you. The rest of you, join the Revolutionary Army to destroy the World Government."

Looking at all that he had caused, Teach felt very calm. His gaze fell on the still-standing Pangu City, though it was now somewhat dilapidated.

However, he could still sense that subtle yet dangerous aura there.

"Yes!"

The entire Night Pirates sprang into action. The island warship was enormous, but the Night Pirates had been prepared for this for some time and quickly landed on the Red Line.

Armed, they charged toward Marineford.

A legion of superpowered beings, a legion of armored beings, a legion of Artificial Devil Fruit, and even mechanical creature followers.

Led by a series of demon kings, demon generals, and commanders, they marched with overwhelming force.

Teach's figure flashed, and he quickly flew towards the location of Pangu City.

Shiryu and Mobius followed closely behind. Although they didn't know who their opponents were, they were both very confident, especially the two who had been directly attacked by Uranus and were now part of the Gorosei.

Even Mobius, who possessed Mythical Zoan, didn't think he would survive.

For them, this is an easy task; they might not even have the strength to resist.

Most of them survived by relying on their own abilities or by using the bodies of their companions to resist.

The Night Pirates took action immediately, and Dragon, who used the wind as his eyes, naturally noticed.

"Let's go! In this battle, we will destroy the World Government!" Dragon was full of fighting spirit for this battle.

Especially the opening shot by the Uranus.

Moreover, the Night Pirates are the true main force against the World Government.

The Revolutionary Army, though smaller than the Night Pirates, still numbered around 80,000.

Including Dragon, the Revolutionary Army has many strong members, which is why they are able to fight against the World Government.

The Uranus's bombardment had a huge impact, and the Revolutionary Army was slightly affected as well, but Dragon managed to withstand it with his own strength.

The two forces rapidly approached, forming an encirclement. The powerful Night Pirates stormed into the Celestial Dragons' residential area and began a massacre.

Wos was agile, with Eye of the Devil between his brows that instilled fear in those who saw him.

Enel unleashed a terrifying bolt of lightning that descended from the sky.

Lafitte, Nelson, Wallace, and other demon generals all activated their killing mode.

Slada held the anchor in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, he shattered the head of a Celestial Dragons.

Before many people could react, the Night Pirates' attack had already begun.

Soon, the World Government also reacted. In the chaos, with no one organizing, they spontaneously began to resist and deal with the attack from the Night Pirates.

Many Celestial Dragons, facing the attack from the Night Pirates, wanted to avoid the brunt of the attack and retreat directly, under the protection of their subordinates.

However, the Revolutionary Army surrounded them directly in their retreat route.

Earth Gaia is worried about the Gorosei's situation, but the Celestial Dragons are clearly more important now.

He was somewhat relieved that he wasn't within the Uranus's sphere of influence, because he had to leave that area due to some urgent business; otherwise, his outcome would obviously not have been much better.

After all, he had experienced the Uranus's bombardment once before and survived thanks to his own abilities.

But this time, the shelling was far more terrifying.

With overwhelming strength, he defeated several Revolutionary Army in succession, and, controlling the land, intended to kill all the Revolutionary Army in front of him.

A large amount of soil gathered and surged forward like a tsunami.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in, like a solid wall, directly blocking the advance of the mud and rocks.

In the swirling gale, Dragon's figure appeared.

"Dragon!"

Gaia!

A tangible gale swirled around Dragon, and the ground beneath Gaia's feet surged like waves.

They are old rivals, having faced each other during the Golden Sea Battle, which was also their first public appearance on the world stage. Over the years, they have clashed many times, including numerous head-on battles.

The two of them are a perfect match as rivals.

Upon seeing this monster in a standoff, members of the Revolutionary Army, the Night Pirates, and the World Government all moved aside, clearing the battlefield to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Meanwhile, Isaac looked at the monster blocking his way, Ares, the "Fierce God" of the Night Pirates.

Looking at Isaac, Ares revealed a cruel smile and burst forth with astonishing speed, charging towards Isaac.

But Isaac was fast too, and nimbly dodged the attacks.

The ground beneath their feet cracked instantly under Ares's terrifying power, with the cracks extending for hundreds of meters.

Seeing this, Isaac immediately entered his battle stance, pressed a button, and a cloud of smoke appeared, enveloping Isaac's body.

To Ares' astonishment, his body began to grow exceptionally strong, and he donned a specially designed combat suit.

"Come on!" Isaac shouted.

A powerful fighting spirit surged forth, and a great battle was about to break out.

In the World Government building, the bald Gorosei and the mustachioed Gorosei lay in the ruins, looking at the three corpses beside them, and noticing Shiryu and Mobius approaching.

Sensing the two powerful auras emanating from Pangu City on the other side, he forced a bitter smile onto his face and stood up with difficulty.

They had done their best to survive the Uranus's bombardment, but they had to fight.

In Pangu City, the supreme Void Throne still exists, but it no longer has a dome.

A figure dressed in black robes stood before the Void Throne, seemingly unharmed.

But the heavy breathing suggested that he hadn't been feeling well before.

Then Teach appeared in front of him, floating in the air, standing at the same height as him.

The Observation Haki was trying to see through Im's true nature, but it was blocked by an invisible force, or rather, it was eliminated by some kind of force.

He glanced at the Void Throne behind him. "Is this thing really that important? Even if it takes more energy, we must protect it."

Teach simply couldn't understand Im's behavior. The Void Throne was useless to him; he could rebuild it whenever he wanted.

"What do you know? This is the symbol of the king," Im retorted.

"The ruler of the world? So what? In the end, you are just the king of the World Government, not the ruler of the world. You never dare to sit on it in front of the world; you only do it secretly."

Teach found it somewhat laughable, looking at Im's merciless mockery, "Now you don't even dare to show your face."

Im did not refute Teach's mockery. He was now on the same level as Teach, and besides, that was the truth of the matter.

Eight hundred years is a very long time, and it has worn away some of his qualities.

Staring intently at Teach, Im looked at the man standing before him, Marshall D. Teach, a Clan of D.

He had known about Teach, and now he was standing in front of him—something he hadn't expected.

Because.

"You are not Joy Boy." As she said this, Yimu couldn't help but shake her head.

"Does it matter? The inheritance of will is such a sham." Teach scoffed at the idea.

"Does it matter? Well, it doesn't matter." A smile involuntarily appeared on Im's face. Although Teach couldn't see it, he could sense it from the voice of the man named Im.

For some reason, Im felt somewhat happy that it wasn't Joy Boy who came to find her.

"What is your purpose?" Im asked.

Aside from the initial tense atmosphere, the two surprisingly started chatting like friends, with neither showing much hostility.

Teach only wanted to test his abilities.

Im was glad that she hadn't faced something called "fate".

Joy Boy's ideal has not been successful. Although there is a trend of unity among the seas, it is not a unity of the entire sea, but rather a regional one.

With Teach around, it would be difficult to completely connect the entire ocean, which is not in his best interest.

"Destroy the World Government, then see how strong you are now."

"Then congratulations, you've succeeded." Im's Observation Haki is equally terrifying. After all, he has lived for over eight hundred years. In terms of strength, he reached his peak long ago and could not improve further, but his Observation Haki has been constantly improving, albeit slowly.

He possesses Observation Haki with an immense range, capable of covering the entire battlefield, allowing him to observe the overall war situation and the proportion of strong individuals on the battlefield.

If it weren't for Uranus, the World Government could have put up a fight. The Navy isn't here either, so something must have happened.

The current World Government is no match for the Night Pirates; there seems to be another force at play.

He felt a pang of emotion; the World Government was merely a tool for his rule over the world, yet it had stood for eight hundred years.

Now that destruction was imminent, his emotions were somewhat stirred, but that was about it.

Over the course of eight hundred years, he witnessed far too much. His heart was weary from trying to extinguish the "light of history," so he decided to let go.

After all, it wasn't Joy Boy defeated the World Government, so he didn't really lose.

The prophecy from eight hundred years ago came from the Clan of D, on the eve of their destruction by the United Kingdom they led.

More importantly, Teach wasn't that naive guy; he was very much like him, or rather, like his younger self—possessing enormous ambition, which gave him a sense of identification.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is based on strong strength.

The immense power of the Night Pirates and the formidable strength of the Dark Emperor himself.

He could sense a strong threat emanating from Teach, something he hadn't felt in years.

He hadn't even sensed it from the pirate named Shiki who attacked the Holy Land.

What surprised him even more Teach's change. In that battle, he only made one move, but secretly kept an eye on the war.

Teach was already very strong at the time, and in just seven years, his strength improved dramatically.

He knew that the further he progressed, the more difficult it would be to improve his strength; Teach's progress was simply illogical.

That boundless vitality was many times greater than before, as if it had consumed a Mythical Zoan and developed it to a very high level.

That is indeed the case.

Teach is now no weaker than him in terms of strength, and has developed the Dark-Dark Fruit to a terrifyingly high level.

Without such strength, Im would not engage in a dialogue with Teach on equal terms.

Moreover, the current Night Pirates now wield Uranus, and its power is remarkably similar to what he remembers.

Such a Night Pirates is simply unstoppable; to fight against them would be extremely unwise.

Although he was the king of the Celestial Dragons, he never had true freedom; the prophecy of eight hundred years bound him for eight hundred years as well.

Now that the World Government is about to be destroyed, he has no ties left.
