The moment they passed through the distorted energy barrier of the outer sea, the scene inside Egghead came into view.
However, the island of the future, once representing technology eight hundred years beyond the world, had already been reduced to a horrifying ruin. Countless floating mechanical rails in the sky had shattered inch by inch, towering white research buildings collapsed amid violent explosions, and thick smoke intertwined with blazing fire, dyeing the entire cloud-covered complex an apocalyptic dark red.
At the center of the battlefield, two terrifying figures capable of driving anyone to despair were recklessly unleashing destructive power.
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
Countless dazzling golden light bullets rained down like a storm, blasting the alloy ground full of holes. Borsalino, the Marine Admiral known as Kizaru and wielder of the Glint-Glint Fruit, transformed into a brilliant beam of light, darting unpredictably through the air.
Below him, a bizarre monster exuding endless ominous black mist rampaged through the ruins with heavy strides. Its lower body resembled a massive venomous spider, while its upper body bore horns and white hair. It was one of the Five Elders, the World Government's highest authority—the Warrior God of Science and Defense, Jaygarcia Saturn Saint!
Before these two powers standing at the peak of the world, the elderly Vegapunk had been trapped in a dead corner of the ruins. The scientific guards around him had long since been sliced to pieces. He was on the verge of being captured alive!
"Damn it... Gum-Gum... Gum-Gum Hydra!!"
A furious roar full of blood and unwillingness echoed across the battlefield.
At the center of the ruins, Straw Hat Luffy was covered in billowing steam, his skin blazing red as he maintained his Gear Fourth Boundman form. His fists became countless afterimages as he desperately tried to stop Kizaru ahead
