Elbaph Spear: Hakai (continued)

At the same time.

"We've arrived. This is the boat I took here."

Harald blasted through the tall white wall with a single sword strike and finally arrived at the port.

"Your boat... is just a cobbled-together raft."

Rocks laughed twice, glanced back at the relentless pursuers, and immediately snorted coldly:

"There's one that can fly; even if it escapes to the sea, they can still catch up. Harald, let's attack together."

"Good!"

The two jumped onto the huge raft one after the other, and then both assumed a sword-wielding stance.

Two swords, one large and one small, were raised high, their blades Conqueror's Haki Coating.

As the Haki continued to rise, the world changed, and thunder rumbled continuously in the sky.

Gunko, standing on the bandaged bird, couldn't help but frown slightly upon seeing this scene.

"That's a bad move, dodge it..."

Without needing to be reminded, the other pursuers also sensed that the situation was not good, and they stopped and scattered to the sides.

In that instant, Rocks and Harald simultaneously swung their blades down.

"The Elbaph Spear..."

"Hakai!"

Boom!!

The sword energy was like a rainbow, piercing the sky and the sun.

The massive sword energy unleashed from the direction of the port swept away everything in its path like a heavy cannon.

From one end of the island, it runs straight to the other, then continues its momentum into the endless depths of the ocean.

Even if they avoided the direct impact of the Hakai, the mere aftershocks were enough to make the pursuers retreat.

Gunko, flying in the sky, lost control of the bandaged bird beneath his feet and was swept away for hundreds of meters, flying off to who knows where.

From a higher vantage point, Dimon looked down and saw that the combined attack unleashed by Rocks and Harald had drawn an almost straight line across Enies Lobby.

Everything along this line was flattened, leaving deep trenches.

"The power of this 'Hakai' is on a completely different level from the Hakai used by Kaido and Big Mom. It truly lives up to its reputation as a King-level combat power."

His gaze shifted to the enormous wooden raft at the port.

The cobbled-together ship, propelled by the reaction force, soared into the sky and disappeared into the distant horizon.

"Tsk tsk, they're pretty fast. As expected, the God's Speed Bump is useless; there's no way it can stop these two."

Dimon chuckled twice, glanced once more at the devastated Enies Lobby, and then manipulated the Jijue to give chase.

After he left, the turmoil in the Hakai lasted for one minute.

When everything had calmed down, Shamrock, who had been sent flying far away, finally arrived late.

"Commander..."

Killingham crawled out of the buried rubble, his tone embarrassed. "They escaped."

I'll go after them.

Gunko returned on the bandaged bird.

Shamrock stopped her. "There's no point in you chasing after them alone. Report the situation to the commander first."

Having said that, he turned to look at the Sengoku.

The Golden Great Buddha has returned to human form.

Sengoku was breathing heavily; clearly, fighting two king-level opponents simultaneously was too much for a retired man in his seventies.

"Sengoku, I suspect someone infiltrated the selection process for this conscription. He, or they, knew beforehand that Rocks's body was on this island."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku recalled something.

"Now that you mention it, I remember... someone poisoned the food today..."

I will investigate this matter.

Zephyr, his face covered in blood and looking disheveled, said, "I'm the head instructor here. If anything goes wrong, I'll be responsible."

Shamrock remained calm.

"Whatever you want."

"Hahaha, it's a pity time is so tight, otherwise I really wanted to wipe out that group of hateful God's Knights all at once!"

"Even Imu would have a headache if six or seven people died at once."

The enormous raft hovered in mid-air, slowly descending towards the sea.

Rocks spread his arms wide and laughed heartily, "Harald, let's go recruit more companions. I heard that after my death, those brats Kaido all became 'Four Emperors'?"

Harald plopped down and said, "They're all in the New World, and they won't acknowledge you as their leader anymore. By the way, it's the era of the Five Emperors now."

The Fifth Emperor, the Lord of the Seven Deadly Sins, but unfortunately no one has ever seen who he is.

Harald thought of Dimon, who had resurrected him; perhaps that person was the Lord, or perhaps one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

In short, his identity is extremely mysterious.

Thinking of this, Harald asked curiously, "Who resurrected you?"

"A young man..."

Rocks briefly described Dimon's appearance and asked in return, "You too?"

"It really was him." Harald nodded. "I still don't know his name. I usually call him my benefactor."

Rocks stroked his chin, lost in thought.

The purpose of resurrecting him and Harald is clear: they obviously know about their past. However, it's hard to guess their specific motives at this point.

"By the way, I need to find a Devil Fruit, Logia Dark- Dark-Dark Fruit... Do you know anything about it?"

"The Dark-Dark Fruit? You want to become a Devil Fruit user?"

"No... I don't like owing favors. No matter what it takes, I have to find this fruit."

As they were talking, the raft beneath them began to sink.

"Hold on tight, it's about to land!"

Harald shouted a reminder.

Neither of them possessed superpowers, so they weren't afraid of falling into the sea.

Boom!

The huge raft fell from a great height, skipping across the sea, splashing seawater that soaked the two men's clothes.

Once the raft had stabilized, the two of them suddenly realized something and looked up at the sky.

"You two meet again."

Dimon, riding on his flying sword, raised his hand in greeting.

"My benefactor."

Harald breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought it was the pursuers. What are you doing here?"

Congratulations on escaping Enies Lobby!

Dimon smiled slightly and said, "I'll also give you something."

As he spoke, he took a folded piece of paper from his pocket and tossed it at the two people below.

Rocks reached out and caught it, then unfolded the paper and saw a golden pentagram magic circle engraved on it.

"This is... an ability used by the Holy Knights?"

"This is one of the Seven Deadly Sins' abilities," Dimon corrected. "Once you find the Dark-Dark Fruit, you can call out the name 'Ain,' and we will meet again then."

Do the Seven Deadly Sins also have this kind of teleportation magic circle?

Rocks was very surprised and looked up, saying, "You really only need me to help you find a Devil Fruit? My life is worth much more than that."

"If you really want to repay this debt, you can prepare your blood."

My blood? What do you need my blood for?

"For scientific research."

Upon hearing this, Harald interjected, "I also donated my blood, and my body is currently showing no abnormalities."

Rocks didn't care about a drop of blood, nor did he care what Dimon did with it; he was only asking out of curiosity.

He gripped the knife tightly, ready to cut open the veins and bleed the patient.

Brute...

Dimon inwardly scoffed, then immediately stopped him, saying, "No need now. We'll come to you when we need you."

He paused, then smiled and said:

"Well then, farewell, you two. Good luck; the World Government will be keeping an eye on you, so don't get caught."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers.

A golden magic circle enveloped him, then vanished in the blink of an eye.

Only after he had completely disappeared did Rocks lower his weapon and ask:

What do you know about the Seven Deadly Sins?

"My resurrection wasn't much earlier than yours. The Seven Deadly Sins are a very mysterious organization; I don't know much about them either."

Harald sat down cross-legged, crossed his arms, and said, "Instead of discussing the Seven Deadly Sins, we'd better hurry up and row the boat; it wouldn't be good if we got caught."

"Hahaha... I'm the captain, Harald! Get rowing! Only you can move this huge raft!"

Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle.

Among the Flower Room.

The butterfly, fluttering its wings, finally landed on Imu's fingertip.

"... Mu's outstanding warriors, and that descendant of Davy, have been resurrected?"

"Yes!"

Among the Flower Room, at the gate.

Saint Garling knelt on one knee and bowed his head to report.

Who did it?

"It's still unclear. Based on current intelligence, it's suspected that someone infiltrated Enies Lobby during the World Military Draft. The specifics are still under investigation."

"The Seven Deadly Sins?"

Imu subconsciously thought of the Seven Deadly Sins, the ability to resurrect the dead—something even He didn't possess.

There are indeed some Devil Fruits that can accomplish this, but all of them come at a high price.

It's like immortality!

Some Devil Fruits can grant immortality, such as the Eternal Youth Surgery of the Op-Op Fruit, but the price is high, requiring the user to possess unparalleled medical skills and their own life.

The same principle applies to resurrecting the dead.

Behind every gift lies a huge price to pay.

"The Angel Fruits possessed by the Seven Deadly Sins can indeed revive, but only one person can be revived at a time."
