The magnificent sword energy flashed by in Setsuna, like a shooting star streaking across the sky.
Especially beneath the countless tiny ice crystals below, the light reflected off it, making it resemble a dazzling ribbon flashing across the sky.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, it seemed to exist in the sky forever, and almost everyone who saw it was amazed.
"Is that... sword energy?"
"This is the sword energy that sliced through nearly half of the Grand Line in one fell swoop."
Countless people gazed at the sky or watched that scene through the images of video Den Den Mushi (snail phone).
Amidst the amazement, someone murmured something.
"Is it over?!"
In the sky.
The Golden Lion Golden Lion was still suspended in mid-air, the two swords cut in half, the severed halves hovering beneath it.
There was a blood line clearly visible on the Golden Lion's forehead, stretching down from its forehead!
There was still a hint of disbelief in his eyes, as if even now he still couldn't believe that Uya energy was so powerful.
From beginning to end, Uya merely stomped his foot and flicked his fingers, yet he utterly crushed him as easily as if he were dry leaves and decaying wood.
The battle ended so quickly.
It's important to understand that even when he single-handedly invaded Marine Headquarters and faced Garp and Sengoku at their peak, Garp still managed to bring half of Marine Headquarters to a standstill before finally being defeated by Sengoku.
At this moment, Golden Lion finally understood why Whitebeard had lost to Uya; Uya's power was simply unbelievably strong!
Even if the Roger Pirates were here, they would probably have a hard time suppressing Uya's terrifying power.
His consciousness gradually faded, and the Golden Lion's body swayed twice in the air before finally splitting in two amidst a shower of blood, and suddenly falling downwards.
The legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiki is dead!
As the Golden Lion's corpse fell, the countless ice shards also lost their buoyancy, or rather, were once again covered by gravity, crashing down into the sea below.
On the sea below, several ships were drifting. The waves had gradually subsided, but because these ships belonged to various factions, the atmosphere was still very tense. Most people were watching the Whitebeard Pirates ' ships with apprehension.
Although Whitebeard was defeated by Uya, it cannot be said that Whitebeard was not strong. At least for the various forces present, the Whitebeard Pirates were still not someone they could afford to offend.
When the snow and ice fell from the sky as if the entire sky had fallen, the people were stunned for a moment before finally realizing what was happening and showing expressions of horror.
"Oh no!"
"Not good!!"
The ice shards covered an area of nearly a hundred miles, making it impossible to avoid. As they fell, it was a scene resembling the collapse of the heavens and the earth.
Even Whitebeard's expression turned serious upon seeing this. After letting out a low shout, he swung his fist upwards.
At the same time, Markojoz and the others also joined forces, and the ships of other factions also disregarded their confrontation and took action to deal with the ice falling from the sky.
Of course, there were also those who didn't make a move, hiding in the corner.
For example, Blackbeard Teach.
"Even Golden Lion has been defeated... That guy's power is probably stronger than my father at his strongest. Unless we can obtain that fruit and then get my father's power, there's no way we can fight him."
Blackbeard Teach remained hidden among the Whitebeard Pirates, completely inconspicuous, and never made any surprising moves.
He looked up at the sky, not afraid of the falling ice, but rather wary of looking through the ice at Uya's figure suspended in the sky.
At this moment, in the sky...
Several warships were hovering behind Uya. These warships were not floating in the sky because of the Float-Float Fruit- Float Fruit, but were pulled up by Uya's Banshō Ten'in.
Watching the Golden Lion's corpse crash down along with the hundred-mile-long stretch of broken ice, Uya shook his head, then with a flash, returned to the warship he had been riding on.
"Commander Uya."
Despite having witnessed too many shocking scenes, Ain still reacted immediately upon seeing Uya return.
However, despite this, Ain's gaze would still unconsciously drift downwards, watching the ice sheet stretching for hundreds of miles fall into the sea below, creating countless towering waves that seemed to boil the entire ocean.
The Whitebeard Pirates and some scattered forces were fighting against the ice and waves, but because they were on a ship, they were scattered in all directions by the impact, and some of the people on the ship were even crushed by the ice.
However, Uya had no intention of going any further.
Let's go.
After looking at the scene below, Uya shook his head, and with a thought, he directly pulled several warships down diagonally from the sky into the distance.
When the warship landed, it came to rest on a relatively calm stretch of sea.
Even so, a thick layer of ice shards could still be seen floating on the sea behind them, and it even seemed that they had frozen together.
It seems that with so much ice, it won't be a short time before it melts. At this point, no one knows what's happening to the Whitebeard Pirates and the other ships.
The Whitebeard Pirates are alright; with Whitebeard around, the ice shards probably won't be able to do much to them. But the other forces will likely be suppressed.
"Uh, are we not going to deal with Whitebeard anymore?" Ain guessed that it was unlikely that the Whitebeard Pirates would be completely wiped out by the ice shards, so he asked Uya in a low voice.
Uya shook his head and said, "It's pointless now, let's go."
Seeing that Uya seemed a bit lazy and didn't want to move anymore, Ain pouted helplessly.
Even if Uya was too lazy to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates anymore, Ain couldn't possibly object, so she spoke up to Uya.
"So, Commander Uya, where do we go next?"
"Well... whatever."
After glancing at the sea again, Uya shrugged and headed straight for the cabin, leaving Ain standing on the deck with a black line on her face.
"Where to go next is up to you, "Ain said with a speechless expression. Then she shook her head helplessly, turned around, and ordered the warship to change course and return to the Marine Headquarters.
The other warships did not follow, but continued to carry out emergency orders from the Marine Headquarters, patrolling the ice-covered waters and reporting the situation as needed.
As for Uya's warships... who would dare give any orders!
Now, Uya is no longer under anyone's control. Even as they watched the warship Uya was on leave this sea area, no one dared to come up and stop it.
With Uya's departure, this unprecedented war finally ended with Whitebeard's defeat and Golden Lion's death!
After the news spread across the ocean, it did not cause any great uproar as before; instead, it brought an eerie silence to the world.
When Uya defeated the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, and even killed Kaido of the Beasts, another of the Four Emperors Four Emperors, and then defeated Red-Haired Shanks, the whole world trembled.
However, when Uya completely defeated Whitebeard and even killed the legendary pirate Golden Lion, the world stopped shaking.
Everyone remained silent.
It's not that they don't want to say something, but rather that they really don't know what to say. Almost everyone feels the same way, including Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Marine Hero Garp.
After an unknown period of silence, someone finally looked up at the sky, gazing at the vast and boundless firmament, and spoke in a profound voice.
"This era... belongs to him." (To be continued.)
