Immortal Body

"What kind of monster was this? In such a short time, he had mastered his newly awakened Conqueror's Haki to the point of using it freely, and could even instantly kill the Five Elders?!" Sengoku's eyes widened.

Zhu Mang's actions shattered his understanding of prodigies again and again.

Whenever he thought he had already realized how terrifying this guy was, the guy would do something that left him dumbfounded.

Actually, given the strength Gebinz had displayed, he would not have been shocked if he could instantly kill the Five Elders.

Although he had no idea how strong the Five Elders truly were, he knew how strong Gebinz was.

His strength was like this sea itself—immeasurably deep.

Shock. Nothing but shock!

He was almost numb to it by now.

Yet each shock seemed greater than the last, making him tremble even in his numb state...

Alongside that shock rose an excitement he could not suppress.

Now that the Five Elders, the Holy Knights, and the CP organization had appeared, the Marines could be said to have completely severed ties with the World Government.

Given the current situation, either the Celestial Dragons would wipe them out and rebuild the Marines—

Or they would take down the Five Elders and the others, then seize control of the World Government!

As for the things the Five Elders had said, he did not believe a single punctuation mark of them!

After serving in the Marines for decades, he might not understand the Five Elders and the World Government inside out, but he knew their character well enough.

It was all bullshit!

And the stronger Gebinz proved himself to be now, the better it was for the Marines!

"Daibutsu Shockwave!"

Sengoku directly proved his resolve through action.

He leaped up onto the Execution Platform not far behind him, his body transforming in an instant into a gigantic Buddha gleaming with golden light.

—BOOM!!

A massive shockwave burst from his palm and swept straight into the CP agents.

The CP agents scattered to evade it, while those who failed to dodge were smashed to pieces by the shockwave!

"Hahaha! I've waited decades for this day!!!" Garp burst into laughter and charged forward as well.

Garp's target was the old man standing at the very front of the Holy Knights, whose hair and beard joined together in the shape of a crescent moon.

He knew that old man.

He was Saint Figarland Gringo. Thirty-eight years ago at God Valley, he had fought Rocks and badly wounded him.

At the same time, he was the biological father of Shamrock and Red-Haired Shanks, the twin brothers from earlier!

At God Valley, Gringo and Rocks had fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand. In the end, Gringo escaped with one child, while the other was left behind in a treasure chest.

After Garp and Roger defeated Rocks, they found that child inside the chest.

"The child is innocent. We can't let someone so young become one of those filthy things too!" Garp remembered saying that at the time.

So Roger adopted the child.

Later, Roger said something similar to him.

So he adopted Roger's biological son.

"Fate..."

Garp's eyes clouded over for a moment before he appeared in front of Gringo.

Seabed Drop!

"Hmph, Garp!" Gringo was a master swordsman. Facing Garp's attack, he drew his blade and was just about to coat it in Conqueror's Haki for a counterattack.

At that moment, an immensely powerful blast of Conqueror's Haki drilled into his mind.

"Pfft—"

Gringo's head sank. Just as he was about to launch his attack, Garp seized him and viciously smashed him into the crowd of CP agents. He plummeted straight down an unknown distance, and every CP agent caught in the impact died on the spot!

Similar scenes played out among all the Holy Knights, the CP agents, and even some of the Marine officers who had rebelled again.

Having just awakened his Conqueror's Haki, Zhu Mang was like a child who had received a new toy, overflowing with curiosity.

He discovered that Conqueror's Haki did not seem to be purely spiritual—it could also be fused into ki.

He did not know whether Dragon Ball's ki was simply too adaptable, or whether that was an inherent trait of Conqueror's Haki itself.

He condensed his spiritual power into knives, swords, hammers, and all sorts of weapons, then struck his targets with them.

Those who had not awakened Conqueror's Haki were basically killed instantly.

The more fragile ones, or those he deliberately targeted, would have their heads explode on the spot and die just like the deserter king and the Five Elders earlier.

Those with stronger Conqueror's Haki, like Gringo, could resist it a little.

Unfortunately, he had only just awakened it, and Saiyans had no particular talent in this area.

After playing with it for a while, he found that although this method was interesting, it was far less efficient than personally joining the battle.

The greatest benefit of awakening his spiritual power—his Conqueror's Haki—was perhaps that his control over ki had improved further.

Along with that, his ki should have increased as well.

But he did not have a combat power detector on him right now, so he had no idea exactly how much it had risen.

At this moment, all of Marineford had descended into chaos once more.

Aokiji led the vice admirals against the Holy Knights.

Meanwhile, Kizaru purged the traitors within the Marines while working with Sengoku and Tsuru to command the Marines in their encirclement of the CP agents.

Although every CP agent possessed strength at the level of a Marine officer, and CP0 agents could even reach the level of vice admirals or elite vice admirals—

Without top-tier strength at the admiral level holding the line, no one could stop Kizaru and Sengoku.

Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit ability was especially effective at clearing out cannon fodder.

For a time, his smug words could vaguely be heard all across the battlefield.

"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light~"

Splash, splash—

Just then.

The Five Elders, who had been lying on the ground, began to reform their heads.

"Who exactly are you?" The Warrior God of Agriculture stared at Zhu Mang in terror, unable to understand how he had been killed instantly.

The instant his gaze met Zhu Mang's, his vision blurred.

Before being instantly killed, he had seen a violent black Great Ape roaring at him.

That roar had killed him outright!

Even after recovering, that violent black Great Ape still occasionally appeared before his eyes!

The other Five Elders gradually recovered as well, climbing to their feet one by one.

But without exception, their eyes revealed an irrepressible terror as they looked at Zhu Mang.

"You have immortal bodies?" Zhu Mang stood with his arms crossed, looking over the destruction he had caused. Seeing this, he was somewhat surprised.

At the same time, it greatly piqued his interest.

The Five Elders actually had immortal bodies?

Since he had not kept up with the manga before transmigrating, he truly had not known that.

He only vaguely remembered seeing somewhere that when the Five Elders appeared in the God Valley flashback, they looked exactly the same as they did now, which implied that they might have undergone the Op-Op Fruit's immortality surgery.

And Imu behind them was one of the Twenty Kings who had founded the World Government eight hundred years ago!

That meant she had already lived for eight hundred years!

Whether it was an immortal body or eternal youth, both were things he wanted!
