At that moment, the other two Five Elders, who had been waiting for an opportunity, moved at the same time: Saint Saturn and Saint Peter.
Saint Peter, in his Sandworm form, instantly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
The next moment, the ground beneath Luo Tian's feet exploded.
A deep, chrysanthemum-shaped maw, ringed with sharp mouthparts and radiating a terrifying suction, burst out of the earth.
On the other side, Saint Saturn was in his Gyuki form.
His eight spider legs drove down hard. His massive body displayed astonishing agility as he leaped into the air.
Several sharp spider legs, their tips coated in purple-black poison, stabbed viciously at Luo Tian from the side as he struggled against Venus!
The two had formed a deadly pincer attack, determined to kill Luo Tian on the spot—the man who had repeatedly caused the World Government enormous trouble!
Luo Tian's eyes narrowed. He was about to activate his Devil Fruit ability and turn intangible to evade—
"Ikoku—!!"
An enormous, terrifying sword slash wreathed in lightning and Conqueror's Haki tore through the air, cutting toward the Sandworm that had just burst out of the ground!
Squelch—!!
The colossal Sandworm was sliced in half by the sudden slash.
At the same time, on the other side—
Rocks appeared beside Luo Tian as if he had teleported, drawing his sword and slashing.
A black slash struck first, cleaving into the spider legs Saint Saturn had thrust toward them!
Clang! Crack—!
The extraordinarily tough, poison-coated spider legs snapped like rotten wood before Rocks' terrifying slash!
Saint Saturn, in his Gyuki form, let out a pained roar. The immense force behind the slash sent his massive body flying straight into the outer wall of Pangea Castle.
Crash—!!!
The sturdy white wall was smashed open, leaving a gaping hole
