"You were once the invincible World's Greatest Swordsman!"
"I've encountered quite a few invincible beings in my life, too."
"Today, let's see whether your First Generation Cursed Blade is stronger than my fists!"
When Shane had sealed Saint Nusjuro and Saint Mars earlier, his condition had been deteriorating.
He had still needed to deal with the Three-in-One Five Elders.
Now he had thrown Saint Saturn and Saint Shepherd Ju Peter into the sea to let their lives end slowly.
Although this staggered the Five Elders' deaths, ensuring they would be reborn,
it also meant that, for Tsuru, Shane was now free of restraints and could go all out!
"I, too, want to know how strong you are when you go all out!"
Saint Nusjuro drew his blade.
The other two Elders were still affected by Shane's Listening to All Things, so naturally, they could not coordinate perfectly with Saint Nusjuro.
But after so many years together, they already knew one another's actions inside out.
The moment they saw Saint Nusjuro move, they followed his lead.
Saint Warcury also wielded two blades in support, letting out a roar and using sound waves imbued with Conqueror's Haki to strike Shane.
Saint Mars flapped his wings, sending multiple elements crashing into Shane.
Half bare bone, half wings, with three heads resting on their shoulders at once.
Clearly, when the Five Elders fused, the resulting form differed depending on how many of them took part.
Their body had already been taller than Marineford, and now their skeletal limbs touched the ground, with four hands, three heads, and a pair of wings.
Flying in midair, Saint Nusjuro whipped up a storm, stirring the sky and bringing down bolt after bolt of lightning.
Such a scene would have been a disaster on any island.
