On the icy battlefield, the battle was nearing its end, and the Five Elders and the others were in extremely poor condition.
Carlmand was the first to finish the fight. Saint Saturn had endured for so long that his blood circulation had been frozen by the Chilly-Chilly Fruit, and his limbs were stiff.
In addition, his injuries were getting worse, and he was finally hit in the head with a full-force punch by Carlmand, causing his head to explode in mid-air.
A headless corpse crashed onto the ice; Saint Saturn, one of the Five Elders who had once been so powerful and influential, was now completely dead.
"Hahahaha, I..."
"I never thought I, Carlmand, would have this day. The noblest of the Celestial Dragons, one of the Five Elders, died at my hands."
Carlmand looked at his hands; in the past, Captain Kazu's strength had given him peace of mind.
Now, he feels that even if he faces these centuries-old shackles alone, he has the courage to break them!
As he pondered, an inexplicable power surged within him, and Carlmand roared, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki.
This unexpected turn of events took everyone watching by surprise.
"Haha, this silly kid actually has some skills."
Seeing that Carlmand had broken through his mental shackles, his spirit had greatly increased, and he had successfully Awakening Conqueror's Haki, Kazu was genuinely happy for him.
On the other side, Oulait and Behrens also took down their opponents one after the other.
Oulait's quick attack disrupted Saint Nusjuro's rhythm, exposing an opening.
"Secret Technique - Crimson Haze Fall!"
Oulait's eyes sharpened, the Chikō in her hand glowed red, and she charged forward quickly. With a swift movement, she brought down her knife, and a head filled with surprise, anger, and resentment flew through the air.
You lost.
"From now on, the Shodai Kitetsu will be entrusted to my safekeeping."
When Oulait retrieved the Kitetsu from Saint Nusjuro, a surge of heroic emotion welled up within him.
Even the most powerful and prestigious figures, such as the Five Elders, fell victim to his blade.
As expected, Oulait was in high spirits at this moment, and his breakthrough in spirit allowed him to successfully Awakening Conqueror's Haki.
Oulait glanced back at Kazu, clutching Kitetsu and Chikō tightly in her hands, and then shook her head inwardly.
Now is not the time to challenge him. Recently, Kazu's punches have been getting increasingly painful. If we're not confident, it's best to hold back for now.
Seeing that Carlmand and Oulait had finished their fight, Behrens on the other side intensified her efforts.
"This farce should end."
"The era of the Celestial Dragons ruling the world should come to an end."
Behrens raised his right hand high, and countless azure lightning bolts erupted, instantly enveloping the space around Saint Mars.
" Thunder Prison!"
Dozens of pillars of lightning stood around him; with his current strength, he was no longer able to break free of this doomed cage.
"Is I next?"
Even if it means my death, I will not give up the fight.
When Saint Mars saw that his two old friends had gone to Hell for a feast, his heart sank to the bottom.
Under his relentless pressure, the Devil Fruit ability miraculously activated.
Kazu watched from behind, marveling at the sight. "No wonder this is a world of idealism," he thought, "Even in this state, they can still fight to the death."
In its Itsumade rushed toward the lightning cage, its beak covered in Armament Haki, and struck a bolt of lightning directly.
Meanwhile, Behrens had prepared his ultimate move.
Thousands upon thousands of lightning spears scattered in the air. Looking at Saint Mars, who was still struggling desperately in front of him, Behrens felt somewhat excited.
His hometown was a village on the island of Decolos in the East Sea, which was destroyed by a group of pirates.
He embarked on his voyage at sea in search of revenge, and eventually encountered Kazu and his crew.
Sometimes he thinks that if he had possessed such power back then, his hometown would not have been destroyed, and his family would not have died so tragically.
Captain Kazu is right, what's done is done, and he can't undo it.
But he will marry and have children in the future, and he will have new relatives.
His current strength is also to prevent the tragedies around him from happening again.
"Captain Kazu, thank you!"
Behrens spoke softly, but Kazu behind him still heard it.
He kept his Space Perception active, covering the entire battlefield, just to prevent any unexpected incidents from occurring.
"Hehehe, this Behrens."
Kazu chuckled and shook his head, never expecting this usually arrogant and disrespectful guy to have such a side.
Behrens's eyes hardened, and he swung his right hand down, sending countless lightning spears swarming towards the massive Itsumade.
Pfft pfft~
"Ah!"
When Saint Mars transformed into his full beast form, his size became even larger, making him a sitting duck in Thunder Prison.
"What a glutton."
In his human form, his size was limited, and he couldn't insert so many spears; perhaps a few hundred lightning spears would have filled the space.
But it's in its full beast form.
We've planted at least five thousand so far, and there's still room to plant them.
" Thunder Explosion!"
Boom!
Countless lightning spears pierced Saint Mars's body, then Behrens clenched his fist, and all the lightning spears instantly exploded violently.
