After annihilating the Five Elders, the beam of light continued upward.
Everything we encounter is heading towards nothingness, not even the tiniest speck of dust.
The beam of light connected the ground to the sky, even extending beyond the earth's surface.
The ozone layer above the Marine Headquarters was also pierced by the beam of light.
For a long time afterward, Marineford was no longer suitable for human habitation.
Even without a live broadcast, people on the same hemisphere as Luo Wen could see that miraculous beam of light.
On the Red Force.
Lucky Roux, Benn Beckman, and the rest of the pirates were stunned to see the three enormous phantom beasts annihilated by the pillar of light, leaving not even ashes behind.
"The three Five Elders, just like that, are they dead?"
Even the usually composed Benn Beckman forgot about his pipe.
Those were three Awakening Admiral- level powerhouses of Mythical Zoan, who had previously demonstrated terrifying regenerative abilities.
But under that beam of light, it was as if an ice droplet had fallen onto the sun, vanishing without a trace in an instant.
Those were three powerful Admiral, yet they perished in the blink of an eye.
"Could such an attack really have been launched by a human? Is he a god?" Yasopp, equally shocked.
Shanks stared at the beam of light in silence, knowing that if he were hit, he would die anyway.
Its power was terrifying; it possessed the ultimate destructive force.
All the marines at the Marine Headquarters stared blankly, stunned by the terrifying power.
Kaido, who was fighting Sengoku, Aokiji, and Kizaru, also quietly launched a fierce attack, pushing their battlefield to a position further away from Luo Wen.
"That's the God-Slaying Spear, the God-Slaying Spear that once appeared in the East Blue!" Saint Nusjuro and Saint Saturn, who had fled far away, were extremely shocked.
They had seen a video of Luo Wen using the God-Slaying Spear to kill the Music Demon King Tot Musica, a terrifying beam of light that pierced the heavens and the earth.
That was precisely what they had always feared, what made them hesitant to act rashly.
"Saint Mercury, Saint Mars, Saint Peter —their auras have completely vanished. Even though the demonic magic circle was still there, they are still utterly dead!"
Saint Nusjuro said with a solemn expression.
He never imagined that even without obtaining a powerful and extraordinary weapon like the Conqueror's Haki, Luo Wen would still be a way to annihilate them.
That terrifying blow completely severed their immortality; it was truly terrifying.
"However, that attack came at a great cost," Saint Saturn said hesitantly. "I saw him completely vanish into thin air, his entire being merging into that spear. Should we go back and check on him?"
Based on his experience, before the God-Slaying Spear was even fired, Luo Wen should have been a dead man.
They died completely, just like the three Saint Mercury who were killed by the God-Slaying Spear.
"Judging from his expression, he doesn't seem like he wants to die with us."
"Besides, he fired the God-Slaying Spear twice in the East Blue, and he's still alive and well." Saint Nusjuro shook his head and refused, "Let's see again, and make sure he's really dead before we go back."
On the edge of the Marine Headquarters, two Mythical Zoan stared intently at the center of the beam of light bursting forth.
As the beam of light dissipated, a tiny dot appeared.
"Only a head is left!"
Saint Saturn was invigorated.
If Luo Wen were to perish together with Saint Mercury and the other two, it would actually be a good thing for them.
They are both still alive, as are the Celestial Dragons and the God's Knights.
The World Government is full of talented people; losing three of the Five Elders to save Luo Wen's life is a price they can afford.
Once Luo Wen is dead, the remaining forces in this world are nothing to fear.
As long as the price isn't paid by him.
"His body has grown back!"
Saint Nusjuro's pupils contracted.
Saint Saturn turned his head and looked over, his expression changing drastically.
With only his head Luo Wen, black energy continuously surged from the broken part of his neck.
The black aura possessed an indescribable, chaotic will, even more bizarre and terrifying than the black mist that repaired their bodies.
As the black energy surged out, Luo Wen's body was also rapidly recovering.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Wen was restored to his original state, and incidentally used magic to construct a simple set of black casual clothes.
Although to those who understand magic it would be tantamount to streaking, fortunately he is the only one in the One Piece world who understands magic.
"He's alive! This freak!" Saint Saturn cried out. "Is it really that easy to come back from the dead?"
Their resurrection is due to Lord Imu's power, and in return, they must pledge allegiance to Lord Imu.
What happened to Luo Wen's resurrection?
He clearly sacrificed his entire life for that gun, so how could he be resurrected?
Including this time, Luo Wen has used this gun three times, meaning he has been resurrected three times!
Judging from Luo Wen's attitude, the price of this resurrection was not heavy.
Why should I?!
He gave up everything, including his freedom, for this power.
Not only does Luo Wen possess unbelievably powerful strength, but he also seems to have the ability to resurrect the dead, even if it has no effect.
He was insanely jealous!
"I knew he wouldn't die so easily, let's go!" Saint Nusjuro reverted to human form and jumped onto a warship without looking back.
"Let's try again, what if this is his last shot!?"
Saint Saturn shouted in frustration.
"Fool! If this were the last shot, why would he use it so easily? Wouldn't it be better to use it on Lord Imu?" Saint Nusjuro skillfully activated the warship and continued, "If you think this is the last shot, then go and try it! If it really is the last shot, I'll come back to help you!"
Looking at Luo Wen's composed demeanor, he couldn't believe it was the last shot.
"Let's forget about that then, let's go back and discuss it further!"
Saint Saturn immediately gave up.
Just as he was about to board Saint Nusjuro's ship, he heard Saint Nusjuro shout, "You go to the other ship, let's split up!"
Saint Saturn immediately seized a warship, and the two warships were set sail in an instant.
They fled Marine Headquarters at top speed, one to the east and one to the west.
It was clearly their stronghold, yet they fled in disarray.
"They run pretty fast."
Luo Wen watched the two warships depart in different directions without giving chase.
His achievements today are enough; having killed three of the Five Elders, the World Government's prestige has been completely destroyed.
Next, it was time to formally declare war on the World Government.
At this time, within the Marine Headquarters, only Kaido was still fighting Sengoku, Aokiji, and Kizaru.
Despite this, Kizaru, Aokiji, and Sengoku completely lost their will to fight after seeing Luo Wen's resurrection.
But Kaido has been given Command Spell, so he doesn't care what his enemies think.
"Kaido, stop! The war is over."
Luo Wen issued Command Spell once again.
"..."
Kaido obediently retreated behind Luo Wen.
Under the power of the Command Spell, he was unable to do anything to resist Luo Wen.
Luo Wen calmly walked to the spot where the Black Blade Shusui was stuck, pulled it out of the ground, and tucked it into his waistband.
If he hadn't deliberately thrown the sword far away, Shusui would have been destroyed into nothingness by the God-Slaying Spear.
"You've been resurrected once again."
Kizaru looked at Luo Wen with a complicated expression.
He knew the true number of times Luo Wen had been resurrected; he, Akainu, Garp had killed him twice in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Elegia used the God-Slaying Spear twice and was resurrected twice.
This is the fifth time, including today.
And Luo Wen faced death with the same generosity, and was resurrected with the same ease.
Kizaru couldn't help but ask, "Are you immortal?"
"Yes, I am immortal in this world."
Luo Wen answered with a smile.
