Everyone's Here

'Ju Peter Nusjuro?'

'He won't die... he probably won't.'

'What do we do next!'

Saturn communicated internally with his two colleagues; this was one of their abilities—the ability to have remote conversations in their minds.

Although Imu decisively ordered all Five Elders to be mobilized after realizing Kaya's presence.

But they still underestimated the power of Kaya.

At least the broken Bakotsu and Sandworm don't look like they can be restored in a short time.

Suddenly... a group of people rushed out of the forest!

"Hey! What are all those things?"

"That commotion is huge! The boss really is over here!"

"What? Are you fighting monsters?"

"Kaido here too!"

Where did Linlin go?

It's not hard to guess that the people who appeared here at this moment were Sternritter.

Even if it's just nominally so, it's still something, isn't it?

They easily noticed the commotion, especially after Fengxi's shout; there was probably no one on the entire island who didn't hear it.

"Kaido, quickly explain to your father what just happened!" John shouted as he ran over.

"Can't you see for yourself?" Kaido dark face.

"Ouch! I think I stepped on something. What's been dismembered?" Ganzui stopped, lifted one foot, and looked at the blood clots on the sole of his shoe.

"Kaya, is everything alright here?" Gloriosa, holding her Spirit Bow, quickly approached Kaya.

"There's no end to the fights, but we definitely came to the right place this time!" Loki also took his place, standing behind the group and forming a natural shade.

Kaya glanced around and, noticing Newgate wasn't there, asked, "Where's Whitebeard?"

"Whitebeard? You mean Newgate? He went to find Rocks. We came over first." Keel pointed his gun at the Bakotsu's mutilated half-body skeleton.

"What is this? An earthworm? It seems to be healing itself." Maron squatted down, picked up two pieces of the Sandworm's flesh, and examined them closely.

The appearance of these people made the Five Elders realize one thing... the Holy Knights had been defeated!

'What's going on? The Divine Knights are immortal!'

'If we defeat Garling and his group with some kind of force, it will indeed take them time to get back on their feet.'

Do all those people possess Conqueror's Haki?

'No! I think I can sense it, though I don't know why, but it's not that simple!'

It's definitely not that simple.

Maron recounted the battle to Kaya.

The fact that the Divine Knights could keep resurrecting was indeed annoying, but after Rocks's advice, they all knew that the Conqueror's Coating could be used to counter it.

But apart from Newgate, the others didn't have that much Haki; some of them didn't even have Conqueror's Haki.

But after Keel killed one of the Divine Knights with a single shot, they themselves were surprised. How did their attack suddenly become effective?

After using the information tube to analyze the substance, Maron made a surprising discovery.

Spiritual Power attacks can be lethal!

However, it is not a normal attack, but rather a form created by highly condensed Reishi. Upon direct contact, it can break the immortality of the divine rider!

They didn't know the specific reasons, but they did know one thing: the Quincy were a counter to the Celestial Dragons' Knights!

"So we took care of those guys and then came right over," Maron said, pushing up his hat brim. "But you should understand the principle, right?"

"The Quincy's attacks can cause soul damage," Kaya explained succinctly.

Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood.

"Hahaha! It's our good fortune and their misfortune!" John laughed loudly.

"So, does that mean it can even counter Linlin's abilities?" Kaido thought of this, silently noting it down without saying it aloud.

"So what's next?" Ganzui asked.

"Be happy, the other side has sent out the Five Elders, who are even higher-ranking than the Divine Riders," Kaya said.

"The Five Elders?" Gloriosa clicked her tongue in surprise.

"Could you go any further?!" Keel scoffed. "If you beat up the young ones, the old ones will appear; if you beat up the old ones, what if an even older guy shows up?"

As they were exchanging words, on the opposite side, Itsumade landed on the ground and stood with Gyuki and Fengxi.

"They're all from the Rocks Pirates."

Who is that giant brat?

"Is it from Elbaf?"

"Just ask him!"

The Gyuki took a few steps, slowly straightened his body, and his upper body transformed back into a human-like Saturn. He asked directly.

"Are the Giant Tribe also coming here to cause destruction? This could very well disrupt Elbaf's connection with the rest of the world!"

Ha?!

Upon hearing this, John, Maron, and the others were stunned.

Once Loki realized the guy was talking to him, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Influence? That's great! Elbaf is a nation of warriors, and it will never submit to the world! Just wait, we'll destroy your World Government sooner or later!"

"Does your king think the same way?"

"Trying to complain? Is this the style of the Five Elders? Go ahead, go ahead! The King is my father!"

"Harald's son!?!"

Saturn, Warcury, Mars were taken aback; their intended threat had no effect whatsoever.

In reality, they were stalling for time, but the Bakotsu and Sandworm remained motionless, and they began to panic, fearing that some of them might actually be dead!

Rumble!!

The earth suddenly shook! As if an earthquake had occurred, and patches of forest in the distance were destroyed.

Finally, a figure rushed out from within.

"... Newgate?" Gloriosa exclaimed in surprise.

She wasn't surprised to see Newgate, but what was with Newgate's disheveled, fleeing manner?

Newgate had just rushed out of the woods with a frighteningly serious expression when several figures appeared behind him.

After seeing it clearly, everyone was shocked.

With sharp horns on its head, fangs protruding from its mouth, jet-black wings on its back, and a twisted trident in its hand, it looked exactly like a demon!

There's more than one such demon! They're relentlessly pursuing Newgate! But that's not the most surprising part.

"Why... is that Rocks?!"

"Hey! What happened?!"

"Didn't Rocks go to save his family? Could it be that he failed and then became possessed?"

"Idiot! Even Rocks were possessed, he wouldn't chase after Newgate! It couldn't have been Newgate who did it... It looks like he was going to fight to the death."

"Rocks! Can you hear me?!"

Loki couldn't help but roar, but Rocks... no, it should be said that the demonized Rocks didn't react at all, he just chased after him with his sword.

Rocks was larger, grew fangs, and his eyes turned completely white, with a chaotic color flowing in the depths of his eyes.

Newgate also saw the group; rather, Newgate deliberately lured Rocks and those strange-looking guys here.

"To make a long story short! Rocks has been manipulated! And there's something even more terrifying on this island!"

Newgate rushed over and shouted at the crowd.

Not only them, but the Three Elders also saw the corrupted Rocks, and... the Davy Clan!

"Could it be?" Saturn's expression changed.

"Damn it! We haven't seen Gunko since the chaos broke out!" Warcury roared in anger.

"The master himself has taken action!" Mars exclaimed, sweating profusely.

Gunko was only God's Acolyte Blade, not a formal Holy Knights, but they could see the dark shadow floating above the forest.

The situation took many unexpected turns, leaving one overwhelmed.

Unlike the obviously anxious and Ganzui and the others, Kaya laughed out loud when he saw Rocks's irrational appearance.

"Is this the calamity? We've only been apart for a short time, but you couldn't escape it after all. But it was all expected."

He suddenly clenched his fist in mid-air and slowly raised it.

Beside them, Loki, Keel, and the others suddenly felt a chill; an invisible, oppressive atmosphere enveloped the island.

That's about right, but it might be a bit early...

"Auswählen!"
