Chapter 472 The Final Battle!

Off the coast of Britannias.

Sabo stood at the bow of the ship, holding a Den Den Mushi (snail phone), momentarily lost in thought.

"Mary Geoise has been destroyed?!"

"So, that monster that stood at the pinnacle of the world might have already died from an ancient weapon?!"

Even in the history he knew, only Gao Wen was a genius who could withstand ancient weapons with his bare body, spanning both ancient and modern times.

Furthermore, according to Sabo's subsequent analysis, Gawain's ability to do something beyond the norm was largely related to his abilities and the battlefield.

That was the power of the Crimson Dragon, combined with the vast amount of ley line energy within Britannias, creating this spectacular sight.

If the battlefield were different, even Gawain himself might not be able to replicate it.

Such an extraordinary existence, even one in an era, is astonishing enough.

As for the second one...

It's highly unlikely!

"should be."

The dragon's voice, heard through the Den Den Mushi receiver, was also filled with suppressed excitement.

Since learning that above the Five Elders there exists a monarch who sits on the Void Throne and has ruled the world for eight hundred years.

The pressure on the revolutionary army suddenly increased, almost suffocating them.

After all, the Marine Headquarters' numerous Admirals and Emperors were already quite formidable, not to mention Mary Geoise, which harbored an unknown number of powerful individuals.

Add to that an existence that has lived for eight hundred years, whose terrifying extent is now unknown.

It can be said that if the World Government wanted to, it could easily destroy any force except Britannias, which naturally includes the Revolutionary Army.

But now, with the explosion of ancient weapons from Britannias, everything has been destroyed, evaporated, and annihilated.

If Sabo's statement is true, and Gawain somehow managed to lift Britannias into the sky, it means that even if the world sinks in the future, humanity will still have hope of survival.

OK!

It's so good!

He doesn't mince words, truly befitting the man who carries the weight of the world's strongest burden.

He is methodical and strategic in his work, always planning ahead of everyone else.

The revolutionaries standing nearby also shook off their previous dejection and rekindled their flames of hope, which burned even more intensely than before!

"In this way, even if the world sinks, we will have a place to stand, and ordinary people all over the world will have a future!"

"Bony~"

Dragon affectionately stroked Bonnie's head, his heart filled with only emotion for Gawain.

He had naturally heard Vegapunk's assessment of that man.

The power he displays is merely the surface of that man's strength; what is truly terrifying is his almost precognitive insight and scheming!
At that moment, whether it was the bear, the dragon, or Ivankov, they all felt the immense power of this force!
just.

Just as Ryu was getting more and more excited, a sudden burst of static came from the Den Den Mushi receiver.

Long frowned and asked:

"What's wrong?!"

"Sabo?!"

"Hey Hey hey--!"

Long pressed for answers, but received none. After a few breaths, Chong, holding the phone, slowly closed his eyes and retreated back into his shell.

"Could it be that something..."

"There are still changes?!"

While thinking.

Long's pupils contracted slightly as he suddenly recalled the Five Elders who had appeared in the Valley of Gods more than thirty years ago!

"Damn it!"

"I knew things weren't that simple; things have taken a new turn!"

"That monster Mary Geoise... might not be dead!"

……

Off the coast of Britannias.

Sabo stared blankly at the Den Den Mushi that had curled up back into its shell and was trembling, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.

Just as he was wondering, the air around him suddenly became heavy!

An invisible, heavy, mountain-like oppression, instinctively making people feel uncomfortable, swept in like a tsunami, as if to dye everything in the world its own color—a kind of unsettling black!
"Knight Gawain?!"

Sabo looked up at Britannias in the sky, his pupils contracting repeatedly, thinking that Gawain had made another move.

After a closer look, I noticed the difference!
Gawain's aura, though equally powerful, was grand and domineering, and would never have the kind of uncomfortable aura that made people feel like they were in hell!
"Is there a monster in this world comparable to Gawain?!"

"who is it?!"

"To make a move at this time..."

"no!"

"I can't just stand by and watch; I can't let Britannias fall into the hands of those monsters!"

With this thought in mind, Sabo had already made up his mind.

After instructing his companions to be careful, he leaped into the air, his speed increasing dozens of times in an instant, shooting into the sky like a meteor and flying towards Britannias!

Whenever he was exhausted, Sabo would take out a coin from his pocket, toss it up, activate the power of the Momo-Momo Fruit, multiply and enlarge the coin in mid-air, and use the coin's inertia to fly to a higher place.

Time and again, just as Sabo was about to run out of coins, he set foot on Britannias' homeland.

We also saw the source of that unsettling atmosphere!

Thick black smoke, almost visible to the naked eye, drifted in from the interior of Britannias!

Even just a glance is enough to instill a deep-seated fear in one's soul, making one instinctively want to turn and run away!

"What kind of monster is that?!"

"What on earth happened in Britannias?!"

Sabo was extremely anxious and went all out, but he was hundreds of kilometers away from the source of the black smoke. Even if he activated the Momo-Momo Fruit at full power, it would still take him some time to arrive!
"faster!"

"Faster!"

……

"Gawain!"

"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you!"

Im's furious roar echoed across the sky from Britannias Central Asia. He was directly attacked by ancient weapons and suffered serious injuries.

Even though he managed to teleport himself and his men to Britannias at the last minute, the losses were still heavy.

More than half of the demon giant army, which he considered part of the power to rule the world, were completely vaporized in the attack just now.

This is almost no different from cutting flesh off his body!

How could he not be furious?! How could he not be furious?! But where was Knight Gawain?!
Im wasn't the only one puzzled; the Five Elders and others who had been teleported there were also confused. They looked around and realized they were in a dense forest.

"Our presence will definitely not escape the notice of Knight Gawain!"

"Not showing himself..."

Satan's face was cold and stern, his eyes extremely sinister.

He was just a hair's breadth away from being completely evaporated and losing his chance to be reborn forever.

The more deeply they felt the fear between life and death, the more determined they became to completely annihilate Gao Wen and his gang!

This is the only, and last, chance!

Otherwise, given that monster's growth rate and strength, it's unimaginable how much it will grow in a few years!
"Is it fear of Lord Im's power?!"

"maybe!"

Nassou Sei's face also showed murderous intent:
"In short, no matter what, this time, Gawain and his gang are doomed to perish..."

"Um?!"

between words.

A terrifying gust of wind suddenly descended from above, becoming incredibly heavy in an instant!

The sound of bones grinding against each other as they reached their limits could be heard from everyone's bodies, and the ground beneath their feet began to sink uncontrollably, with cracks spreading for tens of kilometers!
"Ancient weapons?! Has that monster gone mad? Using something like that on its own turf?!"

Blackbeard grinned maliciously:
"What a load of rubbish about fairness and righteousness! In the end, he's no different from the Celestial Dragons. He'll give up anything as long as it's in his own interest!"

At first glance, everyone realized that this was a sign that an ancient weapon was about to be activated. However, they were distracted for a few seconds and did not feel the same oppressive feeling as before.

"No, this is not an ancient weapon, it's Conqueror's Haki."

Im frowned, gently raised his hand, and unleashed an equally powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki, absorbing all the pressure falling from the sky.

The ground beneath his feet cracked, and ripples spread outwards in concentric circles until they completely altered the surrounding terrain before finally stopping.

The Five Elders and the others felt the pressure on their bodies suddenly decrease. When they looked up at the sky, all they could see were several figures standing proudly high in the sky.

Akin crossed his arms, his gaze fixed on Im, his pupils slightly contracting:
"The captain was right after all. With Mary Geoise destroyed, they will definitely move to Britannias immediately."

"but……"

"He was able to withstand the captain's Conqueror's Haki head-on, so he must be Im?!"

"Truly a monster!"

Kro smiled calmly, glancing mockingly at Im and the others below:

"That guy has his own cooking skills. Our opponents are the monsters around him, some of which even give me a sense of danger!"

"Um?!"

Kro's gaze sharpened as it fell upon Rayleigh and his two companions beside Im, whose expressions had drastically changed, turning them into ferocious demons. His expression changed drastically:
"That's Rayleigh?! Even a legend like him was controlled by Im's power? This guy is more dangerous than we imagined!"

"but……"

As if he had thought of something, Chloe smiled faintly:
"That ability should be ineffective against us."

Barrett glanced down at the mark on his palm, then clenched his fist, his gaze also falling on Rayleigh Jabba, his eyes already filled with anger.

That was one of the figures he had been chasing, and even if it was time to end, it shouldn't be in this way!
"Rayle... I'll see you off!"

Redfield stood side-by-side with Hawkeye, looking down with a smile on his lips:

"I have fantasized about the day when I would have the chance to cut off the heads of the Five Elders."

Hawkeye looked at the red-haired man behind Im, and expressionlessly reached out to grasp the black sword Night, which was groaning with excitement.

Sanji had a cigarette dangling from his lips, his hands in his pockets, and his brow slightly furrowed.

"Those guys' abilities are troublesome; apart from Conqueror's Haki, their attacks are almost impossible to cause effective damage!"

Zoro's lips curled into a grin, three swords were drawn, and a crimson, murderous aura of Asura rose around him.
"That's perfect, then you can satisfy me a few more times!"

……

As one face after another was recognized, the expressions of the crowd below grew increasingly solemn!
One after another, these supreme experts, each capable of causing trouble for the Navy Headquarters on their own, stood calmly atop a massive and majestic warship, looking down at the crowd below.

"Legendary Redfield, Hawkeye Mihawk, Devil's Heir Barrett, Knight Gawain's right-hand man Ghost King, and Hundred-Trick Crow..."

"The two dark horses of the World Martial Arts Tournament, Roronoa Zoro and Demon King Gin..."

“Every single one of the powerful figures appearing above is capable of challenging, or even suppressing, the Four Emperors!”

"Each one of them would give the Navy Headquarters a headache and force them to deal with it with caution, yet they've gathered in a whole group here?!"

"This is the war potential of Britannias?!"

The Five Elders were both shocked and terrified, but what humiliated them even more was the contempt in the eyes of the people above.

They were all too familiar with that look; it was the look they had once given to slaves.

I actually have to look up to them? Just like those who looked up to me back then!
What a joke!

"This is disrespectful to the gods!"

"They should be executed! They must die!"

……

Just as everyone was enraged, a series of crisp footsteps came from the warship above.

Kro and the others on the deck slowly parted to make way, like subjects welcoming a king, and voluntarily stood aside.
Da da da--!
The footsteps grew crisper, and a strange sense of oppression became more pronounced, until they suddenly stopped at a certain moment.

A man wearing a blue shawl and light armor, with a calm and composed expression, stood quietly above. Just by lowering his eyes, it was as if a tremendous force was pressing down on everyone, making them unable to breathe!

It was at this moment that they finally understood that some people are born to stand on the clouds and look down on all living beings.

Both the Celestial Dragons and Blackbeard believed they were burdened with that fate and destined to become that kind of person.

But when they saw that man, everything they had once been proud of seemed ridiculous and laughable. When he was there, who could stand atop the clouds?

Im?!

Can he really do it?!
Whether it was the Five Elders or Blackbeard, even just seeing Gawain gave them this thought.

The strongest being in history to truly face this ocean, Nasujiro Sei, swallowed all the contemptuous words that were about to be uttered.

How dare a mortal slander the gods?!
"god?!"

Im murmured softly.

His voice, which was not loud to begin with, reached everyone's ears at this moment, causing them to freeze in surprise and shock!

Standing at the pinnacle of the world, revered as a god, how could Gawain make such a comment?
All around was silent except for the howling wind and the splashing water from the cracking earth!
“Sashiberdana, Im!”

Gawain spoke slowly, his cold gaze falling on Im, calm and indifferent:

"Call me God... Have you foreseen that step? Then are you prepared to accept divine punishment?!"

"Divine punishment?!"

Im scoffed, his eyes contorted with malice, filled with greedy desire:

"That Nika who calls himself the Sun God will only suffer a crushing defeat when he faces me!"

"god?!"

"Once I have your body, everything you have is mine!"
