He wanted everyone to see the Thunder Emperor Corps descend upon the Holy Land from the sky.
The Navy, the World Government, and the Celestial Dragons need to understand that this attack is neither a surprise attack nor a test.
Instead, it was a direct declaration of war.
"Set off."
Uchiha Xin gave the order.
Spatial power spread out.
The entire Sky Island moved towards the Red Line.
Large swaths of clouds were forcibly pushed aside.
Huge waves surged on the sea below the Sky Island, and nearby ships changed course.
The naval soldiers on the sea looked up at the sky.
Someone dropped their binoculars onto the deck.
What is that?
There is an island in the sky!
There are still buildings on the island!
"It's moving, heading towards the Red Line!"
The news spread quickly.
The Sky Island makes no attempt to hide its presence.
The massive island crossed the sea, carrying the Divine Palace and the Thunder Emperor Corps, heading straight for the World Government's holy site.
Everyone along the way can see it.
After the naval remnants' lookout spotted the target, they immediately sent the message to Mary Geoise.
"Report!"
A massive island has been discovered from high altitude!
"There are a large number of armed personnel on the island; their numbers cannot be confirmed at this time!"
The navy surrounding the holy site quickly moved into defensive positions.
The turret was turned around.
Naval soldiers climbed the city walls.
Personnel from the World Government also arrived from all directions.
As they watched the Sky Island draw ever closer in the distance, their expressions changed drastically.
"Is the Thunder Emperor Corps going to attack the Holy Land?"
"How dare they come directly here?"
"This is Mary Geoise!"
A Rear Admiral admiral gripped the hilt of his knife.
"Notify all garrisons to immediately blockade the seas surrounding the Red Line."
"Have the World Government send someone with special abilities."
"The enemy is at the door; we must not let them get any closer!"
Commands were issued one after another.
Chaos also began to spread within Mary Geoise.
Many Celestial Dragons hurriedly hid in their residences.
Someone requested that the guards be redeployed.
Someone loudly cursed the Thunder Emperor Corps.
No matter how much they shouted, the Sky Island didn't stop.
In front of the Divine Palace, Uchiha Xin stood with his hands behind his back.
Perona stood to his left.
Tashigi, Hancock, and Momousagi stood on either side.
Behind them were the Thunder Emperor Corps, the Sky Island Legion, and the Fish-Man Warriors, all of whom had already assembled.
They made no sound.
Only the sounds of clashing weapons continued to ring out.
In the distance, the Red Line is already clearly visible.
The Holy Land Mary Geoise is situated at the top of the continent.
The towering city walls, the dense array of gun emplacements, and the World Government flag hanging in the sky were all exposed in front of the Sky Island.
Uchiha Xin gazed at that sacred land.
" Imu is inside."
Perona raised her hand.
"Master, leave the remaining Five Elders to us."
"Um."
Uchiha Xin didn't say much.
The Sky Island continues forward.
We are getting closer and closer to the holy site.
The next moment, a piercing alarm sounded inside the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The Holy Land Mary Geoise had already noticed the procession as it approached.
The piercing alarm sounded Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The sailors on the city wall all looked up.
The island, suspended high in the sky, had come to a stop in front of the holy site, with the Divine Palace, palaces, and a large army clearly visible.
The Thunder Emperor Corps stood at the edge of the island, their weapons already drawn.
Chaos reigned within the holy site.
The Celestial Dragons hid in the palace, while the Marines were ordered to climb the city walls.
" The Thunder Emperor Corps has reached the Holy Land!"
"Immediately notify the World Government!"
"All turrets, prepare to attack!"
Before the shouts even reached the top of the tower, three figures were already standing there.
The remaining Five Elders looked down.
The Blond Five Elders stared at the approaching Sky Island, their faces grim.
"They really dared to come."
"This is the Holy Land Mary Geoise, a place ruled by the World Government for eight hundred years."
" Uchiha Xin destroyed the Marine Headquarters, killed Four Emperors, and now he wants to set foot on the Holy Land? He's far too arrogant."
The Big-Bearded Five Elders said in a deep voice:
"Don't underestimate him."
"Dragon, Kizaru, and two of their companions all died at the hands of Uchiha Xin. The Emperor-Slaying Alliance was also destroyed by him in a single blow."
"The strength of the Thunder Emperor Corps should not be underestimated either."
The Long-Bearded Five Elders clenched their hands.
He held a grudge against Uchiha Xin for the deaths of two of his comrades.
"Cautious?"
We've retreated to the very last resort.
"The dignity of the World Government cannot be trampled underfoot by an outsider."
"No matter the cost, we must keep Uchiha Xin and his army here today."
The Blond Five Elders snorted coldly.
"Before they even get close to the holy site, let's give them a little something to say."
He took a step forward.
boom!
A tremendous power erupted from within.
Blazing white flames shot into the sky, completely engulfing his body.
The flames continued to spread upwards, and the temperature rose rapidly.
The nearby clouds were burned into a blank space.
Before the navy soldiers on the city wall could retreat, they felt a burning pain on their skin.
What kind of flame is this?
"Retreat immediately!"
"Do not approach the Five Elders!"
The Blond Five Elders raised their hands.
Blazing white flames gathered behind him, coalescing into a colossal figure.
It was a Seraphim with two wings.
Its wingspan exceeds one kilometer.
Its enormous body blotted out the sky, and blazing white flames spewed out from every crevice.
Even the distant sea was illuminated by the Kakkō.
"Fire Fury - Seraphim!"
The Blond Five Elders gave a low shout.
The colossal Seraphim flapped its wings, carrying flames that could incinerate everything, and charged toward the Thunder Emperor Corps.
Before it even got close, the surrounding clouds had already been burned through.
The buildings at the edge of the Sky Island began to melt.
Several members of the Thunder Emperor Corps's expression changed.
"Such powerful flames!"
"Retreat immediately!"
Don't try to take it head-on!
The Seraphim crashed down, their flames pressing down on the clouds.
The remains of the Allied forces below were swept by the Kakkō and turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
On the tower, the Big-Bearded Five Elders stared at the Seraphim.
"This strike is enough to destroy an island."
"Even if the Thunder Emperor Corps manages to stop them, they will pay a heavy price."
The Blond Five Elders did not answer.
His gaze fell upon the front of the Divine Palace.
Uchiha Xin stood there, without even drawing his weapon.
He merely glanced up at the approaching, thousand-meter -Seraphim.
With just one glance, the source of its power became clear.
"A technique formed from the Devil Fruit."
Seraphim to burn with flames, but within them resides a unique law of fruition.
This fire-type power is even stronger than that of the Magma-Magma Fruit.
The World Government's hidden power is indeed more than what it has shown on the surface.
Moreover, this is not Logia ability.
Uchiha Xin watched the Seraphim getting closer and closer, but he didn't even have the thought of making a move.
Such an attack was insignificant to him.
A tall figure swept past him.
Her long pink hair was blown about by the waves of fire.
Momousagi, gripping the Konpira, charged towards the thousand-meter -Seraphim.
Gion!
Tashigi's expression changed.
The Momousagi didn't stop.
Her hand gripped the sword hilt tightly, World-Breaking Level sword intent erupted from within her body.
The darkness of the Dark-Dark Fruit covered the sword's blade.
