Mount Fuji, which had completely erupted, was still spewing lava, and the spray of lava meteors continued.
Kuzan were no match for the massive magma flowing from all directions; the destruction of Wano Country was inevitable.
After the Flower Capital was submerged by lava, the lava continued to flood other areas.
The most deadly thing was the shower of lava meteors flying everywhere.
Even Onigashima was destroyed by numerous lava meteors, with countless buildings engulfed in flames and billowing smoke...
The Wano Country citizens who fled halfway up the mountain and the ancient Wano Country below were both bombarded by countless lava meteor showers, with explosions and screams of terror echoing continuously.
The World Government coalition forces that attacked the ancient Wano Country are frantically fleeing back to the sea.
Even the pirates of Big Mom Alliance are fleeing to the sea, escaping this meat grinder battlefield and magma inferno.
The surging, spewing lava could even reach pirate ships and warships on the coast.
Many warships were sunk or set ablaze by the lava meteor shower.
The terrifying volcanic eruption left countless viewers in front of their live streams speechless and wide-eyed.
Could this terrible natural disaster wipe out the entire navy and pirates?
···
On the two airships that are taking off in mid-air.
Wang Shi and his group encountered another escape team that seemed to be quite strong.
The sharp, Flying Slash caught Wang Shi's attention; it seemed even more powerful than Denjiro's slashing sword energy.
"So it was Ashura Doji."
As he drew closer, Wang Shi recognized the fat swordsman.
One of the Nine Red Scabbards, Shutenmaru.
He is the most powerful swordsman among the Nine Red Scabbards.
In that war, he was facing off against King the King the Conflagration. After Kozuki Oden was defeated by Beast Kaido, he was also defeated by King the Conflagration because he was distracted.
Ashura Doji's strength was enough to injure Jack the Drought, one of the Three Disasters, in a direct confrontation, and even Beast Kaido wanted to subdue this guy.
Such a powerful swordsman, it's a pity he was a die-hard fan of Kozuki Oden.
He logged off hastily, only to be killed by a bomb.
He still died from the bomb that Kanjuro created Brush-Brush Fruit power to draw a fake Kozuki Oden.
A powerful but unlucky individual has been added to the list of bomb deaths in the Pirate King world.
···
"Being a puppet or a shadow provider wouldn't be bad."
Wang Shi wanted to capture this samurai swordsman, but just then, Aramaki and Enel captured a group of powerful mercenaries and mine prisoners at the Seastone Mine in Udon.
Capone Bege felt these guys had some use, so she took these withered powerhouses into custody from Aramaki.
Otherwise, these guys who were drained would probably be dead under the lava meteor shower by now.
Among these prisoners was Kawamatsu, one of the Nine Red Scabbards.
You can capture Ashura Doji and have him keep Kawamatsu company.
Among the prisoners, Wang Shi recognized Hyogoro, the old yakuza man who taught Straw Hat Luffy to quickly Ryou in one day.
These prisoners escaped from the prison during the chaos of the raids by Du Feld's mercenaries.
Unfortunately, they ran into Aramaki and Enel, and the two sides, who didn't know each other, started fighting.
The outcome was predictable.
Seeing Wang Shi's interested expression, Aramaki and Enel immediately prepared to take action and defeat this powerful swordsman who was constantly unleashing Flying Slash.
As Aramaki and his group made their move, Wang Shi discovered an unexpected delight.
Unexpectedly, the two escape teams, Ashura Child of Jiulitou Mountain and Tengu Mountain Feiche of Jiulibianli Village, coincidentally met on their escape route.
Wang Shi saw Tama riding on the back of a giant Otama and Tenguyama Hitetsu.
He also noticed that Fei Che was carrying a basket of swords wrapped in cloth, which immediately piqued his interest.
If I'm not mistaken, there should be three Great Grade Swords hidden inside.
Kozuki Oden left behind Enma and Ame no Habakiri, as well as a demon sword Nidai Kitetsu.
Looks like I'm having a lucky day!
Wang Shi raised an eyebrow. Besides these Famous Swords, Otama, the Devil Fruit User, was also quite good. She could tame various ferocious beasts and artificial Zoan users.
Otama, the "Beast Queen," is even more deserving of the title "[Beast]" than Kaido, the Azure Dragon user.
···
Suddenly, a figure flashed into view.
"Your Majesty! The situation has changed!"
"Jack the Drought has been killed by Akainu, Beast Kaido is furious. He has even abandoned the Pluton Battleship to seek revenge on Akainu."
"The Big Mom can't hold on alone; the Holy Knights have now successfully boarded the Pluton Battleship..."
The teleported Yasopp quickly reported the latest battle situation on the battlefield below to Wang Shi.
"Um?!"
Wang Shi narrowed his eyes slightly; this situation wasn't too surprising.
In his prediction, the alliance of the two emperors, Big Mom and Beast King, was indeed no match for the Holy Knights and the powerful Marine Headquarters.
Even if the Holy Knights manage to seize the Pluton Battleship in the end, they will definitely not be able to bring Mary Geoise back.
Whether the Pluton Battleship can leave Wano Country is up to Wang Shi Toki.
It seems it's almost time for them to make their appearance.
Otherwise, the pirates would be defeated.
'I wonder if there's a chance to take down several of the Five Elders at once.'
In fact, if this war had the opportunity to kill most of the Five Elders and the Holy Knight, Wang Shi did consider a complete showdown with Imu.
However, Wang Shi didn't know if the Five Elders and the Holy Knight who came via the teleportation array could instantly return to the Holy Land Mary Geoise by directly canceling the teleportation ability.
After all, they were forced back to Mary Geoise by Joy Boy's Conqueror's Haki.
Does that mean they can choose to cancel their teleportation ability and return to Mary Geoise?
Dragon's successful assassinations all occurred when the Holy Knight was caught off guard.
It was almost an instant kill.
There was absolutely no chance for the Holy Knight to teleport away.
If Wang Shi chooses to act now, he might only kill one of the Five Elders, while the other three Five Elders and the Holy Knight are all teleported away.
That would be a serious matter.
The Goa Empire in the East Blue is destined to become a sacrifice, destroyed by Imu and the World Government.
Even if Wang Shi eventually captures Saint Saturn and Gunko.
The final result was the two Five Elders and Gunko, the descendant.
Most importantly, if Wang Shi to attack Saint Saturn and Gunko, Akainu and the Three Admirals of the Navy would definitely fight him to the Wang Shi.
The situation will be very chaotic at that time.
Perhaps even Kuzan will join the battle to help the Navy.
Even a heroic emperor Wang Shi could become an evil criminal in the eyes of the world, completely losing the hearts of the people.
This balance of gains and risks clearly doesn't align with Wang Shi's "wanting both" approach.
After all, he now has a great chance to subdue Kuzan.
Wang Shi more time, he might even be able to turn Akainu and Kizaru, among other Marines, against him.
Taking action prematurely means giving up one's own advantages in growth and time, and having to confront Imu head-on.
He's not confident he can take down Imu, that ancient monster.
If that's the case, then it would be better to just use the Conqueror's Haki Knot to persuade the Four Elder Stars and the Holy Knights to retreat.
Anyway, Imu will take care of Saint Saturn, the 'culprit', himself when the time comes.
