"Now," Hawk Eyes said.
With the Five Elders defeated one by one, Saint Nusjuro's mentality was clearly affected. Hawk Eyes seized the opportunity and unleashed his attack simultaneously.
Black Blade Yoru pressed down on Saint Nusjuro from the front, aiming every strike at Saint Nusjuro's right forearm.
Saint Nusjuro was pushed to his limit. Just as he was about to change his move, Hawk Eyes's sword had already struck his wrist.
The Conqueror's Haki, enveloped in sword energy, cleanly severed Saint Nusjuro's entire right forearm.
"Ah--!"
Saint Nusjuro's hand, which was holding the Kitetsu I, fell to the ground, and the Black Turn Mark detached from his body along with the severed arm. His aura plummeted instantly, and he knelt on one knee as if all his strength had been drained from his body.
Bullet kicked Saint Nusjuro from behind, stomping his face into the mud.
"After being arrogant for eight hundred years, it's time to taste what it's like to be trampled underfoot."
The Seastone chains immediately wrapped around it.
All Five Elders have been captured.
The soldiers on Hachinosu moved swiftly, binding the Five Elders one by one like dumplings, wrapping them in Seastone chains again and again, and finally nailing both ends of the chains to the ground with Seastone nails.
For eight hundred years, the World Government's highest rulers have all become prisoners.
The Five Elders ' faces were filled with disbelief.
Even though they were bound by Seastone, they still couldn't understand why the battle had turned out this way.
"Impossible..." Saint Mars murmured weakly, blood seeping from the wound on his knee, pooling on the ground.
Nothing is impossible in this world.
The Red Count walked up to him, looking down at him condescendingly.
"Eight hundred years have passed. You've sat in that position for far too long, so long that you've forgotten that you too can lose."
Kaido carried the Hassaikai over, looked at the Five Elders on the ground who were locked up and unable to move, and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha! What World Government! In the end, they're still trampled under my feet!"
Robin arrived with Chopper.
She looked at the Five Elders on the ground, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.
The destruction of Ohara was decided by these very people. Now, bound to the ground by Seastone chains and covered in wounds, they bear none of the imposing presence of the World Government's supreme rulers.
Chopper took the first-aid kit to treat Zoro and Sanji's wounds, but Zoro waved his hand, saying, "Take care of the other wounded first. I'm fine."
"Your wrist is so swollen! It's not okay anywhere!" Chopper was almost in tears.
Zoro glanced down at his wrist; it was indeed swollen. He had injured a bone during his fight with Saint Nusjuro.
He clicked his tongue and didn't insist any further.
Hawk Eyes sheathed his Black Blade Yoru, and turned to walk towards Roy.
Roy was still in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the battle between Imu, Luffy, and Loki.
" The Five Elders have been captured." Hawk Eyes's voice came from behind Roy.
Roy didn't turn around, he just nodded. "Understood."
"When do you plan to make your move on Imu's side?"
"Wait a little longer."
Roy's gaze remained fixed on the battle.
Luffy and Loki are finding it increasingly difficult.
Luffy can still maintain Gear Fifth, but he has multiple injuries, and his white clothes are stained red with blood.
Loki's Lightning were no longer as frequent as before, clearly indicating a significant drain on his stamina.
In contrast, Imu, despite suffering numerous injuries, still possessed a robust aura.
Although his black robe was tattered beyond recognition, the aura he exuded grew stronger with each passing moment.
"These two guys are really tough," Roy muttered.
"Do you think they can win?" Hawk Eyes asked.
Roy was silent for a few seconds, then gently shook his head.
" Imu hasn't used his true strength yet."
"So when should we make our move?"
"Let's wait and see," Roy said. "Getting involved now will only make things more chaotic."
Luffy and Loki still had some energy left, but they were severely exhausted by Imu.
Moreover, the longer it drags on, the better for us. It also gives us a chance to see what other tricks Imu, the King of the World, has up his sleeve.
Hawk Eyes didn't say anything more.
On the battlefield, after dealing with the Five Elders, Ace tried to rush towards Luffy.
Roy's Telekinesis descended once more, forming an invisible wall in front of him.
" Roy! What are you doing stopping me?!" Ace's voice was clearly tinged with anger as he was blocked again.
I told you Luffy would be fine.
Besides, with your current strength, going up there would only cause trouble, and I don't want to have to be distracted to save you later."
"So when are you planning to make your move?"
I know what I'm doing.
Ace clenched his fists, but didn't charge forward again.
Roy turned his attention back to Imu's warband.
Luffy and Loki have been pushed to their limits.
Loki's Iron Thunder trembled violently in his hand, and his breathing was as heavy as a broken bellows.
Luffy's Gear Fifth form also began to become unstable, his body gradually aged, and then he was forcibly pulled back to Gear Fifth.
They're still fighting.
Neither of them backed down.
Roy watched this scene in silence.
He had calculated many things, but at this moment, watching Luffy fight desperately amidst the flashing blades and black flames, he felt no contempt whatsoever.
"Boss Roy."
Yamato's voice came from the ground.
" The Five Elders are all locked up."
"Okay." Roy's gaze remained fixed on the distance.
"Do you need me to go up and help?" Yamato's tone was somewhat eager.
"No need. You have more important things to do."
"Take our ground troops and settle all the non-combatants of the Giant Tribe."
Elbaf cannot afford to lose its elderly, women, and children because of our battle with Imu.
Yamato responded, picked up his spiked club, and left.
The battle is gradually coming to an end.
The World Government's personnel were almost entirely wiped out, Five Elders and the Holy Knights were almost all captured (except for Shamrock ).
The only place still fighting was the central area shrouded in black flames and Inazuma.
Luffy and Loki are still fighting Imu.
Roy stood in the air like a silent statue, quietly watching over them, waiting for their final chance to enter.
·········
The defeat of the Five Elders.
For the first time, Imu's gaze shifted from Luffy and Loki to Roy in mid-air.
That person has been there since the start of the battle, looking down over the entire battlefield.
Imu frowned.
This feeling is awful.
It was like a wild beast he didn't recognize suddenly appearing in a herd of prey.
The Five Elders ' defeat and the power displayed by Roy's Hachinosu all surged into Imu's mind at this moment.
This man is even more difficult to deal with than Rocks was back then.
Rocks was the embodiment of chaos, acting recklessly and with astonishing destructive power, but ultimately his actions were not without precedent.
Roy remained in the shadows from beginning to end, like a chess player.
He wasn't in a hurry to capture the pieces; instead, he was waiting for the game to reach the position he desired most.
Who exactly are you?
"D?!"
