The Navy's desperate hour! Saint Nerona Imu returns to the mortal world!
The entire audience held their breath, with thousands of marines and powerful figures fixated on the blade of light slashing down from the sky. They even unconsciously held their breath, afraid of disturbing the destructive blow that was about to fall.
On the sea below, a Navy Major gripped his Fire Pistol tightly, his voice trembling as he murmured to his Adjutant beside him, "Is this... the power of the Uchiha? An attack of this scale... we couldn't even get close."
The Adjutant, his face deathly pale, nodded stiffly. "Saint Saturn has just perished, even that strange resurrection power has failed. If we go up there, we'll only be throwing our lives away."
The Susanoo Blade's slash tore through the sky, its dark blue light traversing heaven and earth. Wherever the blade passed, space twisted violently and collapsed layer by layer, creating terrifying spatial ripples, like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up the laws of the entire world.
This unparalleled sword strike, imbued with the power of Takamimusubi resonance, was so domineering as to be unreasonable, instantly tearing apart the defensive barrier that Garp had built with all his life's worth of Haki.
Akainu's sky-burning torrent of magma and Kizaru's soaring Yasakani no Magatama were like Fire Fly hitting the moon or thin paper facing a thunderbolt before this supreme sword force. They were instantly reduced to ashes and completely swept away, leaving not even a trace of Kakkō or light.
The blade's momentum remained undiminished, its sharpness overwhelming, carrying a crushing, all-crushing power as it hurtled straight towards Garp and the two helpless God's Knight behind him.
Garp clenched his teeth, his muscles tensed to the extreme, veins bulging across his neck, every inch of his bones brimming with power, fully prepared to face a fatal blow.
This legendary veteran, who has roamed the seas for decades and repeatedly cornered the One Piece, has long since disregarded life and death.
But just as the blade was about to touch his body, in that life-or-death Setsuna...
The entire world suddenly fell into a deathly silence!
The wind died down, the waves froze, and the wreckage floating on the sea remained suspended in mid-air.
A terrifying aura, vast, ancient, and surpassing all power in the world, suddenly erupted from the heavens!
Thick, inky dark red mist surged forth from the depths of the void, like a purgatory wave that overturned heaven and earth, instantly covering the entire Sabaody Archipelago and devouring the vast sky.
The bright sunlight was completely blocked, and the blue sea and sky instantly turned into a dark inferno. A heavy pressure, like a boulder weighing billions of tons, covered the Four Blues and eight wastelands, forcing all things in the world to bow down. Even the waves on the sea were forcibly flattened by this force.
On the deck of the warship at sea, all the Navy Soldier involuntarily knelt down, supporting themselves with their hands on the deck, panting heavily.
Deep within the black mist, a pair of enormous, scarlet eyes slowly took shape and slowly opened.
Those eyes were cold and indifferent, silently overlooking the ages, as if gazing upon the mortal world from the dust of eight hundred years of long war, indifferently scrutinizing the people below who were fighting like ants.
Immediately following, a dozen or so swords, spears, and halberds of different shapes and ancient, weathered appearances emerged from the depths of the black mist. Their metal surfaces were engraved with mottled, ancient patterns, and they carried forbidden power accumulated over thousands of years, standing firmly in the path of that peerless strike.
Boom--!!
The supreme blade light and the forbidden divine weapon collided with a deafening roar, causing the entire sea to tremble violently. A muffled rumble came from beneath the seabed, and the remaining architectural ruins of Sabaody collapsed in large sections!
But a terrifying scene suddenly unfolded: the fierce and domineering Susanoo slash was utterly powerless against the dark red and black mist!
The black mist coiled around the blade layer by layer, like a living thing, constantly dismantling and frantically eroding it. The unparalleled sword aura that had just been able to crush everything was instantly melted and swallowed up bit by bit, and finally completely dissipated into nothingness, without even a trace of its aftershock falling downwards.
Five years later, the uncrowned king who has lain dormant on the Void Throne and overlooked the world for eight hundred years, the supreme being of heaven and earth who once fought a fierce battle with Uchiha Natsu, resulting in mutual injury—Nerona Saint Imu, has once again descended to the mortal realm!
The entire battlefield was deathly silent.
Thousands of naval personnel, two Marine Admiral, and two powerful God's Knights all stood frozen in place, their breaths instinctively halting. An instinctive awe from the depths of their souls bound them like cold shackles, preventing anyone from moving an inch.
The figures of the Five Elders emerged from behind the black mist. Topman Saint Topman Warcury raised his hand to his forehead and sighed softly at the empty seat beside him, belonging to Jegalsia Saint Saturn: "Unexpectedly, after Natsu, another Uchiha has forced Mu to personally show himself."
Above the brow of the thousand-meter -Susanoo, Madara Uchiha's tall figure paused slightly.
A deadly sense of crisis, originating from the limits of life and death, rushed up his spine to the top of his head, making every hair on his body stand on end and causing his Chakra to tremble slightly.
But this terrifying pressure, enough to crush everything in the world, did not make Madara feel the slightest bit afraid. On the contrary, it ignited his long-dormant fighting spirit. The hot blood in his chest was like boiling lava, boiling endlessly.
He had already heard about the past from Uchiha Fugaku: five years ago, Uchiha Natsu fought this person to the death, and was eventually seriously injured and unconscious for more than a month before he woke up.
Ban was well aware of Natsu's strength; he was a top-tier powerhouse who could stand at the pinnacle of the world and whom even Ban himself had to go all out for.
Even Natsu suffered a crushing defeat and was severely injured, which is enough to show the terrifying strength of this black mist overlord!
Facing this overwhelming pressure that enveloped heaven and earth, Ban was not alarmed but instead went mad!
He didn't utter a word of provocation, but instead Chakra within his body, the Yin-Yang resonance power enhanced by the Takamimusubi, and the power of his physical Origin to their peak!
His Chakra surged outwards, transforming into rings of blue shockwaves that continuously vibrated the surrounding void.
The brightness of Susanoo's armor patterns increased once more, and a deep blue light pierced the edge of the dim black mist.
Above the sky, the thousand-meter-tall, azure-blue Susanoo stood taut, his massive body radiating battle intent. His icy eyes were fixed on the dark red sea of mist that blotted out the sky, like an unparalleled war god confronting an ancient monarch, neither yielding an inch!
On the other side, Shepard Saint Shepherd Somaz and Thatcherz Maffey were already terrified, trembling all over, their teeth chattering uncontrollably.
The two men's legs buckled, and they knelt heavily in the void, bowing deeply to the supreme being deep within the black mist. Their foreheads almost touched the air, their voices trembling and broken, filled with utter fear and humility. "Lord Imu, your subordinates are incompetent..."
Akainu and Kizaru looked up at the black mist that was swallowing the heavens and the earth, their faces as solemn as iron, their hearts filled with turbulent waves.
The suffocating, crushing feeling from the Summit War five years ago swept over them once again. Facing this aura again after five years still made them feel cold all over, their hair stand on end, and their hearts filled with the most instinctive fear and awe.
