The Most Serious Incident in History, One of the Five Elders Appears

The three admirals' elementalization abilities were very powerful, but before Luo Chuan, they looked pale and useless, because Luo Chuan had long since enveloped the entire island in his aura. No matter how Borsalino used elementalization, Luo Chuan could appear instantly. Even if he did not do that, Luo Chuan's speed was more than enough to keep up.

In fact, if the three admirals were measured by the standards of the Dragon Ball world, then with the Devil Fruit abilities each of them possessed, their overall combat power would all exceed one thousand!

Although Luo Chuan had not carefully investigated exactly what the specific number was, he could estimate it almost perfectly through perception alone.

When he had fought the three admirals just now, the combat power Luo Chuan displayed had likewise exceeded one thousand, and was even slightly above theirs. And it was precisely that tiny, faint gap that had left the three admirals heavily injured.

If Luo Chuan were truly ruthless, forget these mere three admirals before him—even the entire Pirate World would be reduced to ashes. Another reason was that his heart was still rather soft.

Of course, there was naturally a reason why he was so softhearted.

Before this, he had once asked the words what "not necessarily" meant, and the answer the words gave was this: if he truly transformed into Super Saiyan 1 and completely destroyed this world, then the entire world would disappear forever. Though World Lords possessed strength comparable to angels, they did not possess the ability to create worlds. Then who had truly created this world? In truth, even the World Lords knew nothing about that. All a World Lord could do was observe and maintain worlds from time to time.

However, what needed special attention was that as long as the World Lords perceived an overpowered existence appearing in any world, the World Lord would not hesitate to personally take action and eliminate the danger.

At this moment, the heavily injured three admirals dragged their heavy bodies up with difficulty, slowly rising to their feet and forming a tense standoff with Luo Chuan.

In Sakazuki's heart, there was both shock that was difficult to conceal and blazing fury.

What shocked him was undoubtedly Luo Chuan's unimaginable strength; what made him fly into a rage was that the three famed Marine admirals together had still been unable to defeat this man before them, and had even been beaten into such a miserable state by him.

If this matter spread and the people of the whole world learned that the mighty three admirals had ended up like this, then where would the Marines' face go? Where would the World Government's face go?

"No. We absolutely cannot let this matter leak out!"

Sakazuki thought to himself. As his thoughts turned, a vicious glint suddenly flashed through his eyes, as though he had made some kind of decision. He quickly searched over his body, and after rummaging for a moment, he pulled out a golden Den Den Mushi.

"Hey! Sakazuki, are you trying to completely destroy the entire Sabaody Archipelago?!!"

Kuzan's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at that golden Den Den Mushi, his face full of shock and anger.

Borsalino, however, remained silent, simply standing there quietly, making it hard to tell what exactly he was thinking at this moment.

"Hmph! Kuzan, you're clearly asking when you already know the answer." Sakazuki snorted coldly, utterly unconcerned by Kuzan's questioning.

Just as he was about to press the activation button and activate that golden Den Den Mushi, an accident happened—the Den Den Mushi that had been in his hand actually vanished into thin air!

"So this is the legendary golden Den Den Mushi used for a Buster Call! But this design is way too ugly."

At that moment, Luo Chuan's voice rang out. He was studying the golden Den Den Mushi in his hand with great interest. After glancing at it a few times and feeling it was too ugly, he squeezed it lightly. With a soft bang, the Den Den Mushi exploded in an instant.

"You dared use this thing? I think you really got tired of living!" Luo Chuan took one swift step to Sakazuki's front, his left hand shooting forward fiercely and clamping precisely around Sakazuki's neck.

"Stop...!!" Borsalino and Kuzan shouted in unison, trying to stop him.

However, it was too late. Just as Luo Chuan was about to strangle Sakazuki to death, at the critical moment, a massive cannonball came whistling over, and along with the cannonball appeared a figure speeding over like lightning.

Facing the incoming cannonball, Luo Chuan unhurriedly waved his arm, and that cannonball, which had been bearing down with tremendous force, actually exploded halfway through its path.

The powerful impact produced by the explosion spread rapidly in all directions like a surging, roaring sea wave.

At this time, the person who had been charging swiftly toward Luo Chuan had already arrived before him and threw a punch without hesitation.

This punch looked perfectly ordinary, but hidden within it was the power to split mountains and pierce islands.

Luo Chuan merely raised one hand casually and lightly touched the other party's fist with it.

With a bang, the figure who had just been brimming with momentum was sent flying backward at extreme speed as if struck by a cannonball.

Only after that person finally managed to steady himself did he lower his head to look at his trembling left hand, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face.

"Oh?"

Luo Chuan looked at his fist, which was trailing wisps of white smoke, with great interest, a faint smile showing on his face.

"Fist Garp. Your reputation really is deserved! As expected of the man known as 'Iron Fist.' Your strength truly isn't to be underestimated."

It turned out that this uninvited guest who had suddenly arrived was none other than the legendary figure among the Marines—Garp.

In less than a short minute after the three admirals had been dispatched, Garp had followed right after them.

It was just that he had been a little slower than the three admirals, because Garp had thought that even if the three admirals could not arrest the other party, they could at least protect themselves. He simply had not expected to arrive to this kind of situation.

Garp clenched his fist.

"Your fist isn't bad either."

"Young man, let Sakazuki go. Although I don't particularly like his personality, he's still a Marine admiral after all. If you kill him just like this, we Marines will find it very troublesome too."

Garp said.

Luo Chuan looked at Sakazuki, who was on the verge of suffocating, and figured he already knew what death felt like. So, like throwing away trash, Luo Chuan tossed him aside.

"Fine. I'll give you face."

Garp smiled. "You're still pretty humane."

Hearing this, Luo Chuan smiled noncommittally, then changed the subject.

"Although I let him go, the fact that he dared take out the golden Den Den Mushi means he didn't take what I said before to heart. Since that's the case, I can only fulfill my promise."

"What??"

Garp did not react for a moment. Then, in his pupils, Luo Chuan vanished.

Only after a few breaths did he react. He cried inwardly that this was bad, hurriedly used Moonwalk, and headed toward Marine Headquarters, no longer having the time to think about how Luo Chuan had disappeared.

Luo Chuan appeared above Marine Headquarters, raising his aura to roughly around sixty thousand. He directly fired an energy blast. As the energy blast drew closer and closer, the intense air pressure pressed down on Marine Headquarters, making it tremble constantly. This sudden change made the rear admirals, lieutenants, soldiers, and other Marines all raise their heads to look. They saw a ball of light growing larger and larger.

Just then, Fleet Admiral Sengoku appeared in time. He stripped off his clothes and transformed into a giant Buddha, thrusting out a palm. Clang! It rang like an ancient, lingering bell.

Sengoku's expression changed, and he tried to pull his hand back at once, but the air bomb exploded directly. The massive impact and the heat wave from the blast rapidly shattered all of Marine Headquarters into collapse.

The earth-shaking explosion boomed across the region. Even the Four Emperors heard the unusual roar and all looked in the same direction.

From that alone, it was easy to tell just how intense the explosion had been.

When the smoke cleared, Marine Headquarters had been completely reduced to ruins.

This could be called the most serious incident in history. Even when Golden Lion had once rampaged through Marine Headquarters, he had not caused anything like this. At most, half of it had been destroyed—nothing like now.

Luo Chuan stood atop a pile of rubble and raised his hands to clap.

"Not bad, Sengoku. In such a dangerous moment just now, you actually still protected this many people."

Behind the giant Buddha Sengoku, a group of greenhorn recruits who had joined the Marines less than a week ago trembled in terror.

"Luo Chuan, you're far too cruel! Do you know how many people died just now?!"

Sengoku roared furiously.

Luo Chuan clutched his forehead and burst into laughter, then cursed outright, "Cruel? You're fucking talking to me about cruelty? Back during the Ohara incident, when Sakazuki shelled those historians, was that not cruel? And God Valley—those beasts held that game, taking pleasure in killing people. Were those beasts not cruel? I merely destroyed one Marine Headquarters. Compared to them, that's nothing at all, and you're calling me cruel? You're killing me."

Sengoku's heart sank. How could he not know about those things? But there was no helping it. Regarding the God Valley incident and the Ohara incident, there was so much he wanted to say, but...

In the end, he could not say anything, and could only sigh inwardly.

"What a sharp-tongued little brat!"

An abrupt, aged voice rang out. A hexagram appeared on the ground, something like a magic circle, and black smoke rose from it.

An old man wearing glasses, dressed in a white kimono and carrying a sword, walked out of the black smoke.

Luo Chuan narrowed his eyes. He had not expected one of those five old things to actually come over.

The one who emerged from the black smoke was none other than one of the Five Elders, and likewise a Celestial Dragon: Saint Ethanbaron V. Nasujuro.
