boom...
Two figures crossed paths, their fists clashed, and a loud boom resounded before they Extreme Speed separated.
"Intruder, you have nowhere to run. Surrender now and accept trial. That might give you a quick death!" After a brief exchange, the black-clad man on the guard side urged the intruder, who was shrouded in blood mist, to surrender.
"Surrender?! Hahaha, that's hilarious. If you capture me, I don't care how you judge or execute me."
"But if you think you can make me surrender and be captured just by talking, you're being too naive!" The figure surrounded by blood laughed loudly after hearing his words, then mocked them without any mercy.
"Damn it... Since that's how it is, then let's show you our power with our fists!!"
Go!
"Oh!!"
"Um!!"
The man in black who had been trying to persuade them to surrender felt utterly humiliated, so he shouted to his companions and charged forward first.
"Shave!!"
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
Three figures crisscrossed, flashing and moving constantly before the blood-red figure, closing in on him.
"Hahaha, let me see what you're made of as Celestial Dragons' guards!" The figure laughed, then clenched his right fist, and crimson light gathered on his hand.
" Crimson Breath... Dragon Fist!!" With a low shout, the fist slammed out, and the crimson light and fist force merged into a huge fist imprint that blasted towards the three of them.
The fist imprint hurtled towards the three men with unparalleled momentum and an unstoppable intimidation. Seeing that the attack was unavoidable, the leader gave an order.
"Retreat!!"
Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...
In an instant, the three of them moved to the side.
Rumble...
The massive fist imprint slammed through the ground, as if plowed by an unnamed sharp blade. Wherever it passed, the surface cracked, the earth churned, and a large wasteland was instantly created.
"Damn it, how dare they act so recklessly in the Holy Land!!" the man in black shouted angrily.
"Hehehe, since that's the case, then come and stop me, otherwise I'll continue to cause chaos. In that case, who knows if your lives will be spared by the extremely angry Celestial Dragons!!" The blood-red figure's words caused the three to change their expressions drastically, and their gazes towards him became even more venomous and resentful.
"Stop holding back! Go all out, or we'll all be in trouble if those adults find out!" the man said after exchanging a glance with his companion.
"Okay, sure..."
"Then let's all attack together!!"
After the three made their decision, their aura surged, and their bodies underwent a sudden transformation, instantly turning into beastmen.
" Dog-Dog Fruit... Model: Snow Wolf!!"
" Cat-Cat Fruit... Model: Black Cat!!"
" Ox-Ox Fruit... Model: Fighting Bull!!"
"Superior!!"
laugh...
Having transformed into their Human-Beast Form, their confidence surged. With a stomp of their heels, they charged forward with a whoosh.
"Heh, Zoan users? Quite interesting. Let me see your current strength then!!" After laughing, the blood-red figure hardened his face and charged towards his opponent as well.
" Shigan... Gold Lotus!!"
" Rankyaku... Cat Blade!!"
" Tekkai... Fighting Bull Charge!!"
Clang!!
Clang!!
Clang!!
The three of them each used their signature skills.
Or, with a sudden outstretched claw, the wolf channeled its power into its fingertips, launching Storm- like attack at him.
Or, with a swipe of Cat Claws, it stirs the air, and in an instant, several Flying Slash arrive.
Or perhaps his entire body trembled, and instead of swords and blades, he charged forward with the force of a bull's horn.
Each attack was delivered with all one's might, revealing a deadly intent that made the blood-red figure's situation even more precarious.
"Hahaha, well done! Behold my Tekkai..."
" Tekkai?!" The three paused after he uttered the words "Tekkai," becoming even more suspicious of his identity.
"Hahaha, just kidding, Demolition Fist!!" In this state, Luo Chen can only use the power of his Shura Fruit; he can't use abilities like Tekkai or Haki.
boom...
The fist imprint collided with the three incoming attacks, causing the atmosphere to tremble and a series of booming sounds to resound throughout Mary Geoise.
In the distance, at the wedding banquet on the other side of Pangaea Castle.
"This sound... could it be that someone else has invaded this place?" the kings of various countries wondered upon hearing the sound.
"Fufufufu, did you expect there to be other clones or the main body causing trouble elsewhere? Those high and mighty Celestial Dragons are going to have a headache now!!" Doflamingo, holding a glass of juice, sat casually in the chair where guests were being greeted, listening to the commotion, and sneered.
"Hehehehe, did you not expect there to be other plans? But as long as you stay here, you'll show up no matter what, as long as Catherine Palace exists, you definitely will!!" Samael, who was standing here, naturally heard the commotion but did not take any action, and continued to laugh.
"Boss, it seems there's some unrest on the other side of Pangaea Castle. Is it really okay if we don't go and suppress it?" Beelzebub asked as he walked over.
Samael shook his head and replied, "No, they're the ones who should be worried. Our only task is to ensure the wedding proceeds smoothly without being disrupted by others. We don't need to worry about anything else. However, I do have another task to assign you!"
He then prepared to assign the two another task.
"What kind of mission is it?!" Asmodeus asked as he walked in.
"You and Beelzebub go to meet Saint Orange and Catherine Palace. With the two of you protecting them, the enemy will surely be helpless!" Samael decided to send the two of them to meet Orange and Catherine to prevent the wedding banquet from being ruined before it even started.
"Understood!!" The two accepted the mission and headed towards Orange.
boom...
The unrest was still ongoing, and even the CP0 members couldn't sit still anymore. Lucci took the lead and led Stussy and Kaku towards the source of the unrest.
boom...
The roar continued, far away in the meeting hall of the Pangaea Castle conference room, inside the gathering place of the Five Elders.
"The riot caused by that brat hasn't subsided yet. What are the CP and the guards doing? Letting a mere kid cause such a mess?!" The bald Five Elders tapped his shoulder with his sword sheath and roared angrily.
"Those guys are probably used to a life of ease. They can't even keep up with an intruder. We need to teach them a lesson after this!" Another Celestial Dragons, dressed like a Western judge, said calmly with his hands clasped together.
"Regardless, let's wait until the weddings of the Gustav and Glücksburg families are over before making any decisions. By the way, what did the leader of that organization say?!" a long-legged member of the Five Elders chimed in.
"He sent word that he's dispatched Wrath, the strongest member of the organization besides himself and Envy, to keep things under control. He believes there won't be any chaos at the wedding banquet. That's what he said, but in reality, nobody can say for sure whether they can handle everything!" another person replied.
"Well, let's wait and see. If those two families can successfully complete their marriage alliance, it will cause another upheaval in the Holy Land, and may even affect the entire world's situation!"
"Yes, this will be a huge gamble. Two people carrying the highest legacies of their respective families are marrying. After absorbing the last vestiges of the Glücksburg Clan's resources, what will Gustav do next? Where will the world go? No one can say for sure!"
The Five Elders Celestial Dragons who wield supreme power, chatted one after another, their words filled with pronouncements that could shock the world and influence the future, all taking place in this rather small room.
