Roar!
A thunderous roar echoed out.
The earth rapidly rose and molded itself like a tidal wave of mud, crazily shifting and transforming.
It felt as though a giant was struggling wildly to break free from within the ground.
Its several-thousand-meter body was not inferior to the Guardian Commander in the slightest.
As the two colossal beings were about to clash, both pirates and Marines clearly understood that if they were even half a step too slow, the shockwaves from the coming battle would surely sweep them in.
"Damn invader, you dare run wild in the Holy Land? Die!"
Red light flared in the eyes of the massive mechanical centipede as it spoke in human words.
Facing the awakened Devil Fruit ability unleashed by Douglas Bullet, it made no flashy moves.
Its enormous body moved as thousands upon thousands of giant legs stomped heavily against the ground. It became a black shadow, tearing through the air with a piercing howl as it charged straight toward the black tide rising from the earth.
As the outer guardian of Laugh Tale, the final island, and an entity Qin Yu had speculated might be the Ancient Weapon Uranus, the Guardian Commander's intelligence was clearly no worse than a human's.
It could even be said that its judgment was equally sharp.
The moment it moved, it was clearly intending to strike first.
The distance of ten thousand meters was crossed in the blink of an eye beneath the swing of its several-thousand-meter body.
The fierce wind it stirred carried endless sounds of wind and thunder.
By the time everyone reacted, the Guardian Commander's two blade-like colossal jaws had already snapped furiously toward the black tide rising from the ground.
If that strike truly landed solidly, it could probably bite even a mountain in half.
