Awakening... Conqueror's Haki!

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

Terrifying explosions continued to echo from the East District of Mary Geoise, causing the Five Elders to frown.

"They've been fighting for so long, how does this Blood-Eyed Ninja still have stamina?"

Staring at the distant battlefield, Saint Vowchuri frowned and said, "Is he also a monster?!"

The riot started around 8 or 9 pm last night, and the fighting continued until the afternoon of the following day...

Is this Blood-Eyed Ninja's immortality really that hard to break?

"He hasn't been killed after all this time; calling him a monster wouldn't be a problem," said Saint Saturn.

"This can't go on any longer," said Saint Nusjuro. "Let's make our move!"

There's no need for that.

"There's no need for that," Saint Nusjuro said. "If we delay any longer, it won't just be the East District that gets destroyed!"

The destruction of the East District into ruins was already a huge loss; he didn't want other areas to be reduced to ruins as well.

After all... that's all money!

As Five Elders in charge of finances, he knew very well how much money it would take to rebuild Mary Geoise —an astronomical figure!

"I know what you mean, but taking down the Blood-Eyed Ninja isn't something we can do just by having more people," Saint Saturn said. "The main thing is to wear him down."

"With those guys outside, that's enough."

"I agree with Saint Saturn," Saint Peter nodded.

With those guys' strength, they've already weakened the Blood-Eyed Ninja to the greatest extent possible, so there's no need to expose their combined strength any further.

Saint Nusjuro paused for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said nothing more.

'Never mind, there's always Celestial Gold.'

Thinking of this, Saint Nusjuro's expression returned to normal.

Just then, Saint Mars said, "Don't worry, the Blood-Eyed Ninja is already showing signs of weakness."

"Oh?"

"How so?"

"Haven't you noticed the problem?" Saint Mars pointed to the distant battlefield and said, "The aura of the Blood-Eyed Ninja is even more chaotic than before."

"And... his resurrection time is getting longer each time!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the other four old men lit up.

The increased resurrection time means... the Blood-Eyed Ninja may be nearing his limit!

Thinking of this, Saint Saturn smiled and said, "It seems the result is not far off."

As soon as the Blood-Eyed Ninja ran out of stamina, he went out and took that guy away.

When that time comes... it will be the end for the Blood-Eyed Ninja!

He'll squeeze every last drop of value out of this damned Ninja to make up for their losses!

Then, the Five Elders looked into the distance with expectant eyes, intending to see how long the Blood-Eyed Ninja could hold out.

"Huff... huff..."

Standing on a pile of rubble, Xi Yan was panting heavily, his face covered in sweat, looking extremely exhausted.

Then, Xi Yan said, "Dealing with so many powerful individuals at the same time is still too strenuous..."

Xi Yan frowned as he glanced at the several enemies who were eyeing him menacingly.

"You look exhausted, Blood-Eyed Ninja." Saint Somaz, wielding thorns, stared intently into Xi Yan's eyes and said, "Are you nearing your limit?"

"That's probably true."

Saint Gilm, holding a fork, squinted and said, "Otherwise, his resurrection time wouldn't have been so long."

Not only did the resurrection time become almost a minute, but the opponent's aura also became very chaotic, which was enough to explain the opponent's situation!

This man has most likely reached his limit!

"Is this bastard finally going to die?!" Gunko said, his eyes blazing with anger.

That bastard actually dared to seal her into that damned lowlife's body... She'll never forgive him!!

Upon hearing Saint Somaz glanced at Gunko, then muttered to himself, 'This woman is indeed terrifying...'

Recalling the scene of rescuing the other party, Saint Somaz's lips twitched.

After he killed the guard, the woman broke free from the so-called Sealing Technique and reformed her body on the ground.

Then, the woman just stood there blankly, muttering something to herself.

Just as he was about to ask what was going on, the woman roared like a madwoman, then flew into the sky on an arrow and charged towards the battlefield on the Blood-Eyed Ninja's side.

On her way there, she launched a massive arrow attack, killing everyone in her path!

That scene left both him and Saint Gilm dumbfounded.

They didn't care whether those guys lived or died, but they were never this ruthless!

Just then, Saint Shamrock said, "Keep a close eye on him, don't let him burrow underground and escape."

If he hadn't launched his attack in time, this guy would have already escaped from Mary Geoise!

"Don't worry, he can't escape!" Saint Somaz grinned.

He has laid out a large number of transparent thorns in this area, which can be used to launch an attack on the Blood-Eyed Ninja at any time, and will definitely not give him a chance to use Earth Release Technique to escape!

"Heh, you think you've got me cornered?" Xi Yan sneered.

"That's obviously the case," said Saint Gilm.

Borsalino glanced at the members of the God's Knights, then at Xi Yan, whose face was covered in sweat, and finally sighed silently.

'This kid seems doomed...'

Fine, let him give this kid a quick death!

Thinking of this, Borsalino flashed to Xi Yan's side and then raised the Sky Cloud Sword to slash down!

"Puff!"

With a single blow, he easily cleaved Xi Yan's body in two!

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Saint Gilm said, "It seems this guy really reached his limit."

Previously, when attacked, the opponent would summon that pale gold armor for defense.

But after noon today, the man stopped summoning that thing.

Therefore... the other party must have reached their limit!

"Let's see how long it takes this guy to resurrect this time," Saint Somaz said with a hint of mockery.

As he spoke, he took out a pocket watch and began to read the time.

Finally, after a minute and a half, Xi Yan's corpse began to twist and then disappeared.

Seeing this, Saint Somaz laughed, "Hahaha, one and a half minutes!"

This time it took half a minute longer than before, so how long will it take next time?

He was a little curious.

Saint Somaz smiled even more broadly after glancing at Xi Yan, which had appeared in the distance.

"What a despicable bunch," Xi Yan spat out.

"Mean?"

Saint Gilm shook his head and said, "This method isn't exactly despicable when dealing with someone like you."

If they hadn't joined forces, it wouldn't have been easy to beat the Blood-Eyed Ninja to this extent.

Just then, Saint Shamrock said, "Shall we now consider my previous suggestion?"

"Proposal..."

Xi Yan frowned as he recalled what the other person had said the day before.

"That's right!" Saint Shamrock nodded. "As long as you surrender obediently, I can guarantee I won't kill you!!"

Seeing the sweat on Xi Yan's face, Saint Shamrock continued, "You've probably reached your limit by now, so you'd better think it over carefully before you speak."

"Ha, as if you're doing this out of consideration." Xi Yan sneered and shook his head, saying, "In the end, you just want to use me as Guinea pig."

He knew exactly what the other party was thinking.

"So what?!" Saint Gilm said without any politeness, "It's your honor to submit to the Celestial Dragons!"

"Others haven't even had this opportunity yet!"

There are plenty of guys who want to be the Celestial Dragons ' lackeys, but they might not actually think much of the other party.

So... they're giving this opportunity, okay?

Hahahaha!

"That's right, just kneel obediently before the Celestial Dragons, and only then will you have a chance to live!" Saint Somaz also said.

Hehehehe...

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Xi Yan suddenly burst into laughter, one hand on his forehead, and then said, "How... arrogant!"

To be forced to kneel before them and become their slave is considered an honor... Is this what the Celestial Dragons of this world are like?

It really is... utterly disgusting!!!

"Boom!!"

The next moment, an astonishing aura erupted from Xi Yan Xi Yan's body, instantly sweeping out in all directions!

"Conqueror's Haki?!"

Upon sensing the imposing Gunko emanating from Xi Yan, Junzi and the others immediately changed their expressions.

This man actually Awakening Conqueror's Haki at this moment?!

Feeling that overwhelming aura, Xi Yan murmured, "So this is Conqueror's Haki...?"

I never expected him to Awakening this so-called kingly aura.

"Do it! Kill him!" Saint Shamrock decisively ordered.

Awakening Conqueror's Haki at this moment is definitely not a good thing, so... he must die!

Upon receiving the order, Gunko immediately summoned some arrows, then wrapped them in Armament Haki, intending to use this attack to kill Xi Yan.

Upon seeing this, Xi Yan decisively pulled out a Smoke Screen.

He has achieved his goal, so there is no need for him to stay here any longer.

Derailed from the plan, officially launched!

Then, Xi Yan threw the Smoke Screen in his hand on the ground.

"Bump!"

The Smoke Screen that hit the ground exploded instantly, immediately covering the area where Xi Yan was located.

Gunko:???

Given that they all Observation Haki... what's the point of releasing this thing?

Just then, Gunko noticed the change in the Smoke Screen.

The next moment...

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

Five pale gold Long Arrow flew out of the Smoke Screen in quick succession, heading straight for the five enemies present!

"Snort."

Seeing this, Saint Shamrock snorted coldly and used his longsword, which was wrapped in Haki, to cleave the pale golden Long Arrow away.

The others followed suit, each using attacks imbued with Haki to deflect the pale golden Long Arrow.

"This kind of attack is useless against us, you..."

Before Saint Somaz could finish speaking, he noticed the aura of the Blood-Eyed Ninja rushing out!

"Oh no, this guy's trying to escape!"

The others, who also sensed the movement of Xi Yan's aura, quickly rushed towards the distance.

"Someone who Awakening Conqueror's Haki actually ran away?" Saint Gilm exclaimed in disbelief.

The others glanced at Saint Gilm speechlessly upon hearing this; even risking one's life depends on the timing, you know.

Given the current situation, even if the Pirate King comes, he has to find a way to leave instead of staying in the Holy Land to fight them to the death, otherwise he will definitely be killed by them.

Saint Gilm realized he had said something silly and immediately scratched his head in embarrassment.

Then, he changed the subject, asking, "Why didn't he use Earth Release Technique?"

Upon hearing what Saint Gilm said, Borsalino thought for a moment and said, "He's probably running out of stamina."

"Shouldn't we have used Earth Release Technique to escape?"

After recalling the information about the Blood-Eyed Ninja, Saint Shamrock said, "They probably want to conserve their strength for the high seas."

"Then he can use Water Release Technique to attack us, and at the same time, he can use the power of the sea to escape."

According to the Navy, Blood-Eyed Ninja can move quickly in seawater, so... his idea is most likely correct.

"Then we absolutely cannot let him go to the sea!" Gunko shouted.

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly stepped on the arrow and flew up, chasing after Xi Yan at an extremely fast speed.

"Blood-Eyed Ninja, stop right there!" Gunko shouted.

As she spoke, she produced a large number of arrows, and then launched a barrage of attacks on Xi Yan!

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

A barrage of arrows imbued with Haki slammed into Xi Yan's vicinity, creating massive craters in the ground!

One of them, as if it had eyes, aimed precisely at Xi Yan's head!

Sensing the attack, Xi Yan immediately took out a Kunai with an Exploding Tag attached and swung it backhand.

"Boom!!"

The arrow, struck by the Exploding Tag, paused briefly before regaining its momentum and firing towards Xi Yan.

"Tch, the Exploding Tag were useless..." Xi Yan spat.

As he spoke, Xi Yan turned around and crossed his arms in front of his body, intending to use this to block the opponent's attack.

The next moment...

"Puff!"

The sharp arrow easily pierced through Xi Yan, leaving him suspended in mid-air.

Xi Yan has been killed again!

"Did they take them down again?"

Looking at Xi Yan, who was suspended in mid-air by Gunko Zi, Saint Somaz said, "I wonder how many resurrection attempts this guy has left."

As he spoke, Saint Somaz took out his pocket watch again and began to calculate the time.

Soon, two minutes passed, and Xi Yan's corpse began to twist again, clearly intending to revive once more.

But unlike before, this time the twisting seems to be much more difficult.

Seeing this, the group became even more certain that Xi Yan was nearing his limit.

"Keep killing!"

Glancing at Xi Yan continuing his escape into the distance, Saint Shamrock said, "We absolutely cannot let him leave here alive!"

Saint Shamrock has given up on capturing Xi Yan, so... he'll just kill him directly; getting the corpse is the same anyway.

Gunko nodded upon receiving the order, then quickly rushed towards Xi Yan in the distance.

"Blood-Eyed Ninja, you can't escape!" Gunko shouted.

"Let's see if you can catch up with me first!" Xi Yan said.

As they spoke, Xi Yan rushed to an even farther distance, and it looked like he was about to break out of Mary Geoise.

Glancing at the people hot on his heels, Xi Yan thought to himself, 'As long as I leave here, I can enter the Calm Belt. At that time...'

After letting out a cold laugh, Xi Yan increased his speed again.
