Saint Nusjuro, Saint Mars, and the others' expressions changed drastically, their previous smug and composed demeanor vanishing without a trace.
They knew that Luo Wen would arrive riding Azure Dragon, but they didn't expect him to leave in such a shocking way.
It swooped down from the sky, heading straight for the core area where the five of them were located.
They had just displayed their power simultaneously, and Aokiji, Akainu, Sengoku, and their group were also nearby.
They were far too arrogant and didn't take them seriously at all.
"Come on! You're courting death!"
The Five Elders roared as they watched Luo Wen arrive menacingly on his dragon.
Sitting on a seemingly mighty Azure Dragon, you dare to attack the five of them? Do you think you're riding Kaido?!
Whether clenching a fist or holding a knife, Conqueror's Haki had already begun to swirl around them.
None of the Five Elders chose to back down; each was gathering their strength, preparing to clash head-on with Luo Wen.
They will crush all enemies before the entire world.
Whitebeard was like that, Red-Haired was like that, and now Luo Wen is the same.
No one, regardless of who they are, can shake the current World Government!
The colossal dragon with its purple and blue scales swooped down toward the Execution Platform with tremendous Impact, its face contorted in ferocity and rage, its roar revealing a will to destroy the world.
On the dragon's head, Luo Wen stood tall and smiled as he looked at the Five Elders' posture, "Kaido, use Rising Dragon: Flaming Torch!"
Under the powerful control of the Command Spell, the Azure Dragon reacted immediately.
High-temperature, crimson flames erupted from every dragon scale, almost instantly covering the entire dragon's body.
The surrounding air churned and twisted in this intense heat, a temperature even higher than that of magma.
The sky above the entire Marine Headquarters was bathed in fiery red light.
In an instant, the Azure Dragon transformed into a Fire Dragon.
At the same time, Kaido's entire Haki of Haki was concentrated in his head.
Under the Command Spell, this was an absolutely unreserved attack.
At this moment, Luo Wen stood on the dragon's head, perpendicular to it and parallel to the ground.
He is completely unaffected by flames; possessing the Karna template, he is fearless against most fires.
However, Kaido's strongest attack alone was not enough to shock the Five Elders and force them to back down simultaneously.
Despite the downward pressure from the fiery dragon, the dark black martial arts robes fluttered in the wind, yet the warriors themselves remained as still as mountains.
"Noble Phantasm: Nine Lives!"
The long-forgotten treasure has re-emerged from the world.
It allows Luo Wen to unleash nine of his strongest attacks in an instant.
In terms of power, it is second only to the God-Slaying Spear requires sacrificing a life.
Facing the intense wind pressure as the dragon swooped down, the Black Blade Shusui was drawn at that moment.
Raise it!
Conqueror's Haki surged forth, and terrifying purplish-black Inazuma crackled across the blade.
The muscles on his arms were taut, and an immense force capable of shattering mountains and splitting peaks poured into him from the hilt of the sword.
Cut him down!
The oncoming wind pressure was split in two.
The air beneath the dragon's head was repelled by the force, creating a vacuum.
The power of a single strike surpasses the limits of the Four Emperors, enough to uproot mountains and overturn seas!
However, this was not a single cut, but a full nine cuts.
The nine strongest attacks combined, their immense power spreading outwards.
Although there was no Conqueror's Haki spreading, the Marines in the square were still overwhelmed by the powerful physical aura and had no choice but to kneel on the ground.
"What! How can it be so strong!"
The Five Elders' pupils suddenly contracted, a strong sense of crisis making their scalps tingle.
Watching the fire dragon charging straight down, and the slash that nearly destroyed everything, they could only feel disbelief.
That's incredible!
He was so strong that he surpassed the Four Emperors and all the powerful beings they had encountered in the past eight hundred years.
Rocks, Roger, Whitebeard —all the top figures they had ever seen paled in comparison to this one blow.
Even the vague Joy Boy from eight hundred years ago couldn't compare to the shock of this attack.
"Everyone, give it your all!"
Saint Saturn roared in fury.
He instantly transformed into a ferocious Ox Demon tens of meters tall, facing the fire dragon and Luo Wen head-on.
Saint Peter transformed into a giant Sandworm, Saint Nusjuro transformed into a half-man, half- Horse Bone horse, Saint Mars transformed into a gigantic monstrous bird, Saint Mercury transformed into a giant wild boar with a peculiar appearance.
In the blink of an eye, the five old men with full heads of silver hair transformed into five ferocious and terrifying phantom beasts.
Sengoku, Aokiji, and the others, disregarding their shock at the Five Elders' magical beast abilities, also focused all their efforts on meeting Luo Wen's attack.
"The Buddha Impact!"
"Meteor Volcano!"
"The Ice Age!"
"Yasakani Sacred Jewel!"
The Golden Great Buddha, tens of meters tall, holds up the sky with both hands, emitting a powerful Impact upwards.
Dark red magma erupted upwards, carrying the Impact of the volcanic eruption upwards.
A chilling blue aura, capable of instantly freezing the ocean, shot into the sky, condensing into layers of ice crystals.
Kizaru hid further away, his dense golden laser beams condensing into a single beam, targeting Luo Wen atop the fire dragon's head.
Boom!
The multicolored attacks collided suddenly, producing a tremendous roar that reverberated throughout the heavens and earth.
Like the wrath of heaven and earth, the navy personnel in the square were stunned, their minds going blank.
The Yasakani Sacred Jewel struck later but arrived first, was shattered first, instantly turning into a golden speck of light that scattered in all directions.
Next came the Ox Demon that appeared in the Saint Saturn.
The Haki Shusui pierced through the hardest bull's head, cleaving the entire Ox Demon in two as easily as if it were cutting through the air.
Next came the giant Sandworm, which was even more pathetic than the Ox Demon, and it was instantly cut in two.
Horse Bone, a strange bird whose real name is Itsumade, and a giant wild boar whose real name is Fengxi were all cleaved in two one after another.
It wasn't until the Five Elders transformed into giant beasts that Luo Wen's unparalleled attack finally dissipated.
However, it's not over yet.
Kaido's [Rising Dragon - Flaming Torch] still possessed near-maximum power, charging fiercely towards the Execution Platform.
Even Akainu's Meteor Volcano, Sengoku's Buddha Impact, and Aokiji's Ice Age could not completely stop the power of the Azure Dragon's descent.
Boom!
Aokiji, Akainu, and Sengoku were blasted to the side, Five Elders' phantom beast bodies, broken into ten pieces, were also blasted away.
The fire dragon, carrying Luo Wen, crashed into the Execution Platform.
The towering Execution Platform collapsed into the ground in an instant, followed by the destruction of large sections of the Marine Headquarters into ruins.
Vast plumes of smoke and dust billowed out, obscuring the sky above the entire Marine Headquarters.
The once bright blue sky has now turned gray.
Amidst the swirling smoke and dust, a ferocious dragon could be vaguely seen swimming.
A massive Impact emanated from the Execution Platform and spread outwards in all directions.
Those navy personnel who were too unlucky to be nearby were turned into a bloody mist by the shockwave, while those further away were thrown into the air, coughing up blood and dying on the spot, and those even further away suffered internal organ damage.
However, even the navy on the periphery of the Marine Headquarters could not be completely helpless under this Impact; those least affected experienced surging blood and buzzing in their heads.
A moment later, the smoke and dust thinned out a bit, and the less seriously injured Marine Vice Admiral looked at the ruins of the Execution Platform with an expression of utter terror.
There.
A tall figure stood leaning on a sword, a ferocious blue dragon swimming behind him.
