There Will Always Be a Way
Huayue smiled faintly as black iron rods pierced Topman Vochuli Saint's flesh and blood. The other Five Elders had grim expressions, as if they hadn't expected the being before them to become increasingly troublesome.
"Impossible, there is no way to kill an immortal in this world."
Jaygolucia Satan spoke with certainty, his words brimming with confidence.
"The ability of immortality is like a gift from fantasy. No matter what external force it is, even if it is crystallized from the sea, Seastone will not affect immortality."
"I have proven this hundreds of times already. A mere ant could never kill someone like us who is immortal!"
Even so, when the Five Elders noticed the mockery in Huayue's eyes, they themselves felt uncertain.
The ants in front of them can not only copy the Devil Fruit abilities of the five of them, but also create special products similar to those of Devil Fruit Ability User. Perhaps they have really discovered a way to counter immortality.
"It's a pity, Saint Topman Vochuli. Perhaps the Five Elders will soon be renamed the Four Elders. After you arrive in the Pure Land, remember to see for me how this Pure Land is different from other places."
The next moment, the blade slid down, and the dazzling teleportation array for Jaigollucia Satan Saint lit up once again.
"Iron Body & Steel!"
Ding! Pfft...
To Huayue's astonishment, a man dressed in white and wearing a strange red mask of anger fell into a pool of blood, sacrificing his life to take a blow for Topman Vochuli Saint.
"That's strange. You were actually able to block a slash infused with Natural Energy. You're not Devil Fruit Ability User, are you?"
Despite the slash having ripped through his internal organs, Gismonda used Moonwalk to throw Topman Vochuli Saint far away.
"Among CP0, there are also powerful individuals who haven't eaten Devil Fruit. I am Gismonda, and CP0 is the Celestial Dragons'... strongest shield!"
Despite his attempt to bolster his morale with shouts, the blood-stained white collar and his fading voice clearly indicated that this CP0 agent was on the verge of death.
"The Strongest Shield? Let's see if you can withstand this attack."
At this point, Huayue turned her head and looked at the Five Elders. Her azure eyes flashed with a chilling light, and she froze the five of them in her tracks.
"So that's how it is, the Ope Ope no Mi, the Perennial Youth Operation..."
At this moment, the Five Elders ' faces darkened. How did Uchiha Huayue know about the Perennial Youth Operation when they hadn't said a word?!
"This was originally intended to be an attack on your subordinate navy in the Whole Cake Island Hai (World of Nations Seas). Since we've encountered you, we'll just return it to you. Nine Mask Svāhā, Tailed Beast Bomb."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Nine wisps of White Mist swirled around Mariejois, and in the blink of an eye, a massive Tailed Beast Bomb, formed by the convergence of Yin and Yang chakra, was exposed to the air.
"Now, apart from the Celestial Dragons and World Government officials, there are no slaves left in the entire Mariejois. Farewell, Five Elders..."
"Immortal Technique: Hundred-Step Railing!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Hundreds and thousands of azure beams of light instantly pierced through the massive bodies of the Five Elders, and the terrifying shockwaves left them utterly astonished.
"It feels like the ocean; this light possesses the power of the ocean!"
"Seal! Damn it, Uchiha Huayue! The activity of his immortal body has been sealed! This is the method to counter immortality!"
"This weakness... how long has it been since I felt this weak? The last time I experienced this was when I was facing Nika..."
The Five Elders ' expressions changed drastically. They were powerless to resist, and the destructive force was right before their eyes. If it hit Mariejois, the entire town would be reduced to ashes.
Looking around, the once exquisite pavilions and towers have collapsed and crumbled, leaving only broken walls and ruins, a truly wretched sight.
The elegant gardens were ravaged by war, leaving a scene of horror that Mariejois had not witnessed for centuries.
"It's over."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
One after another, Tailed Beast Bomb, each hundreds of meters in diameter, slashed through the water and sky, attacking Mariejois.
Time and space stood still, and a burst of pure white light suddenly erupted. The Five Elders ' eyes shifted uncertainly, but in the end, they slowly looked towards the Flower Room within Pangaea Castle.
"Please, Imu Im..."
In the blink of an eye, just as the pure white was about to spread, an incredibly intense shadow instantly enveloped the entire Mariejois.
Rumble!
The terrifying explosion unleashed thunder, lightning, torrential rain, and fierce winds, leaving Garp and Zephyr, who rushed to provide support, dumbfounded.
Next, the jet-black shadows, flowing like liquid, became exceptionally clear under the light, and the ensuing tremors disrupted the entire sea.
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the earth churned, a huge fissure appeared in the sea, and the sight of volcanic eruptions dyed the sea red...
This near-apocalyptic scene haunted Zephyr for a long time.
"Back in the days of Whole Cake Island, if such an attack had hit us directly, the navy would probably have become a thing of the past."
"Let me be blunt, this guy is stronger than Rocks and Roger combined!"
Garp, with a serious expression, stated a fact that anyone with eyes could see, which made Zephyr shake his head helplessly.
"More than this obvious fact, I'm curious about what shadow is emerging from Mariejois, and whether the Celestial Dragons are hiding some secret?"
As the radiance faded, the shadows receded, and the hundred-step railing that bound the Five Elders quietly disappeared among the Flower Room of Pangaea Castle.
The Five Elders, now free, gaze at each other across the Flower Room and bow in respect.
"Now that Mariejois is in this state, how are we going to clean up the mess? Most importantly, that guy has learned the secret of the Ope Ope no Mi and will definitely take action for it."
Jaigolusia Satan's face turned ashen, while the others nodded slightly.
"Since we can't hide it anymore, let's openly issue a bounty and notify the entire navy to announce it to the world. Whoever can present the Ope Ope no Mi to the World Government will receive a bounty of 5 billion Beli!"
Just as the Five Elders made their decision, a giant monstrous bird slowly flew towards the Sabaody Archipelago. Boa Hancock's eyes flickered, and amidst the surprised expressions of her two sisters, she spoke softly.
"Thank you for saving my life. I have no way to repay you. I don't know... I don't know... do you have any..."
Before she could finish speaking, two petite figures popped out from the distant clouds, instantly shattering Hancock's hard-won confidence.
"You even have a daughter now?"
A few days later, in North Blue, at Donquixote's temporary residence.
"Thanks for what happened a few days ago. I didn't expose my identity to Doflamingo."
Rosinante expressed his gratitude in a low voice, his gaze involuntarily falling on Trafalgar Ronaldo's increasingly prominent white patches, and he made a decision in his heart.
"Luo, how about I take you to see a doctor? There must be a way to treat your illness."
