Whitebeard stared at the warships and snorted coldly:
"Those Navy guys arrived just in time."
Big Mom, looking impatient, screamed:
"So annoying!"
The Navy has even come to the New World to join the fun!
Golden Lion frowned, rose into the air, and surveyed the warships. "I didn't expect the navy to deploy such a large force."
Sengoku stood at the bow of the ship, picked up Den Den Mushi, and spoke in a cold voice:
"All troops on high alert!"
"No action is permitted without my order!"
"Let the pirates wear us down first!"
Akainu's body was writhing in magma, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
" Fleet Admiral! There's no need to wait! Attack now and kill all these pirates!"
Sengoku shook his head. "Making a move now will only unite the pirates against us. It's not worth it."
Kizaru lazily picked at his nails, saying, "Ugh, so many powerful pirates. Fleet Admiral Sengoku was right. It's too much trouble to take action now."
Garp stood to the side, munching on a senbei, but his eyes were fixed on the direction of the " Eye of the Abyss ".
He muttered to himself, "That kid Roy... seems to be the most troublesome pirate since Roger."
The arrival of the navy made the atmosphere even more tense.
The smaller pirates trembled with fear, wishing they could flee immediately.
But they were reluctant to leave.
Pure Gold, it's right below.
What if there's a chance?
Just then, a highly concealed ship quietly approached the naval camp.
There were no flags or markings on the ship, only figures dressed in black cloaks.
The Holy Knights.
Figarland Saint Garling leaned against the bow of the ship, gazing at the distant battlefield, a cold glint in his eyes.
Behind him, the entire Holy Knights stood silently, assembled.
Go and inform the Sengoku.
Saint Garling spoke calmly,
"Call Aokiji over to assist with the operation."
"Once Pure Gold appears, the sea will freeze instantly, creating a battlefield for the Holy Knights."
One of the CP members immediately accepted the order, his figure flashed, and he used Geppo to fly towards the Sengoku flagship.
After hearing the message from the CP member, Sengoku's face darkened.
These Celestial Dragons are indeed troublesome, just as Garp said.
However, having Aokiji freeze the sea to create terrain for battle is not a bad idea.
In that case, apart from a few ships that can fly, most pirates will have nowhere to escape.
Sengoku nodded to Aokiji.
Aokiji understood and stood up. "Yes, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
He walked to the ship's side, looked at the distant sea, and spread his arms wide.
The Ice Time is ready.
Just as the naval discussions concluded--
The sea suddenly began to shake violently!
boom--!
The seawater seemed to boil, churning up giant waves hundreds of meters high!
The waves were so huge that even a giant ship like the Moby Dick was rocking violently.
Everyone stared intently at the surface of the sea, Observation Haki to sense the terrifying behemoth that was getting closer and closer beneath the waves.
It's getting closer.
Closer now.
That aura was so immense it was suffocating.
The Whitebeard's pupils contracted slightly.
Big Mom licked her lips greedily.
A glint of madness flashed in the Golden Lion's eyes.
Garp stopped chewing and stared at the sea.
The Three Admirals simultaneously gripped their weapons.
Sudden--
boom--!!!
With a deafening roar, a ten-thousand-meter-long lanternfish burst through the sea surface!
Its enormous body occupied almost half of the sea!
Sunlight shone on its jet-black scales, reflecting a cold light.
The enormous "lantern" overhead was radiating a golden light, dazzling even in the sunlight.
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the enormous creature in disbelief.
Even Whitebeard and his crew, who were used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but have their pupils contract.
"What... what kind of monster is this?!"
Sea Kings ten thousand meters long?!
"I've never seen anything this big in my life!"
On the surrounding small and medium-sized pirate ships, countless people trembled with fear.
Many people were so shocked by the enormous size of the lanternfish that they collapsed onto the deck, muttering, "Monster... monster..."
Whitebeard stared at the colossal beast before him, his expression one of excitement.
Big Mom's eyes gleamed greedily, her Water 7 watering. "Mama, mama... Pure Gold! Mommy smells Pure Gold!"
The Golden Lion roared with laughter, "Finally! Pure Gold is mine!"
Just then--
Three figures suddenly appeared above the lanternfish's head.
Roy stood at the front, his black cloak fluttering in the sea breeze. He crossed his arms and looked down at the dumbfounded crowd below.
Behind them, Myskina and Olga stood there, watching the scene unfold with curiosity.
Roy!
"Boss!"
The members of Roy Pirates breathed a sigh of relief when Roy appeared.
Tesoro immediately maneuvered the Ark Maxim to fly over and land on top of the lanternfish's head.
Savi, Yamato, and the others immediately came forward, their eyes filled with curiosity when they saw Olga and her father.
Roy whispered to Tesoro, "Get them settled."
Tesoro nodded and led the father and daughter into the cabin.
Having done all this, Roy leaped into the air and hovered there.
His gaze swept across the entire room.
Whitebeard, Big Mom, Golden Lion, the Shichibukai, the Underground Alliance, the Holy Knights, the Navy...
All eyes were fixed on him.
Roy met the gaze of the entire audience, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Gentlemen, do you want Pure Gold?"
He paused, then pointed to the huge, glowing lantern above the lanternfish's head.
"It's right here."
The entire venue erupted in cheers!
Countless eyes turned red instantly, staring greedily at the glowing organ.
Pure Gold!
Pure Gold that can grant immortality!
Right there!
Roy slowly drew the Black Blade Shusui from his waist; the black blade gleamed with a cold light in the sunlight.
He raised his knife and aimed it at the glowing lantern.
The entire audience held their breath.
A single slash!
A massive blade of light ripped through the sky, carrying terrifying power, and slammed into the lanternfish's glowing lantern!
Click--!!!
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
A huge, bottomless crack instantly appeared on the lanternfish's hard shell!
Everyone stared intently at the crack.
Three seconds later.
The cracks widened rapidly.
The lower half of the lantern suddenly fell off!
A clump of golden slime plumped up and fell toward the sea!
And in the very center of that clump of slime, a fist-sized piece of golden metal was radiating a dazzling light!
Pure Gold!
It's Pure Gold!
The pirates in the entire arena instantly erupted in chaos!!
" Pure Gold! It's Pure Gold!"
"Immortality! Pure Gold that can grant immortality!!"
Frenzied screams rose and fell.
Those small and medium-sized pirate crews instantly turned on their guard, completely forgetting that there were still several Emperors of the Sea in the center of the battlefield. They frantically piloted their ships and swarmed towards Roy!
Even knowing the chances of obtaining immortality were slim, they were blinded by the desire for eternal life!
In the sky, the Azure Dragon circled once before slowly descending.
Kaido glanced at the " Pure Gold " in Roy's palm, his eyes flashing, and thought:
Roy, that ally, is truly insidious. Who knows how many people he'll get killed this time.
Roy ignored the pirates charging towards him.
He relinquished control over the lanternfish.
The lanternfish, unable to endure the pain any longer, began to thrash violently!
boom--!!!
The giant wave spread out instantly, even more violently than before!
Those pirate ships at the forefront were instantly swallowed by the giant waves!
Screams and cries of terror rose and fell as countless people tumbled into the sea, struggling desperately.
This giant wave also brought the hot-headed pirates around them back to reality.
Then they remembered that there were still monsters in the center of the battlefield.
Whitebeard frowned as he looked at the churning, giant waves.
"We can't let this behemoth cause any more trouble."
His Conqueror's Haki surged forth!
boom--!!!
That terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire sea area!
The lanternfish stiffened abruptly, sensing a tremendous threat. With a flick of its tail, it vanished beneath the surface of the sea.
