Chapter 774 The Grudge of the Fruit Ground!

On the beaches of the Sabaody Archipelago, biscuit crumbs, charred mud, and splattered blood were mixed together.

Meanwhile, on the flanks of the coalition forces.

"Torrebol! Your slime is sticking to my feet!"

Diamante, a Donquixote Family executive, was jumping up and down in a fit of rage, wearing his fancy high heels. He was about to use his Flutter-Flutter Fruit ability to turn his cloak into a blade to cut down the swarming biscuit soldiers when he was splashed with sticky white slime by Trebol.

"Hehehe~ Sorry, sorry! Sticky chains!" Torrepol chuckled, not even glancing at Diamanti, as he swung his sticky arms, trying to trap several biscuit soldiers wearing iron armor with the slime.

The sticky substance did slow the soldiers' movements, but they managed to break free when the metal-covered parts exerted their strength!
"Damn it! These tin cans!" Diamanti spat, flicking his wrist, and his cloak instantly hardened into sharp blades. "Half-Moon Funeral!" The blade cloak spun and swept out, slashing at the biscuit soldiers' armor. Sparks flew and clanged. Although the biscuit layers were shattered, the dents on the armor were not deep.

"Tch! That's really hard!"

On the other side, "Boomman" Gladius, his body swelled up like a balloon, roared at a group of cookie soldiers: "Let me show you art! Art is—boom!" Before he could finish shouting, a cookie soldier next to him suddenly accelerated, his cookie fist covered by an iron gauntlet slamming hard into Gladius's bulging belly!
Boom!
Guradius was sent flying like a deflated balloon, crashing into a pile of rubble.

"Bastard! You have no sportsmanship!" He clutched his stomach, his face turning red.

"Eek! Baby-5! I need help!" the pink-haired maid Baby-5 screamed. Her arm had just transformed into a hand cannon and smashed the head of a cookie soldier when she was knocked off balance by another soldier's golden shoulder armor.

"Baby-5! Calm down!" Square Diamanti swung his heavy square shield, smashing aside a soldier who lunged at Baby-5. The shield slammed into the soldier's chest armor with a dull thud.

"These things are incredibly strong! Don't be careless!"

Eustass Kid Pirates

"Clang!" Kidd's massive mechanical arm grabbed a biscuit soldier's head and twisted it off his armored neck! "Trash!" He casually slammed the biscuit head at another soldier, causing him to stumble.

"Magnetic Demon!" Kidd roared, and the surrounding metal fragments—broken swords, twisted ship plank parts—were as if summoned, rapidly adhering to his mechanical arm and instantly forming a ferocious, enormous steel fist!

"Crush me to pieces!" He swung his giant fist and smashed it hard into the dense swarm of biscuit soldiers!
Boom!

Several biscuit soldiers wearing crude metal protective gear were instantly smashed into fragments and twisted metal pieces!
But a biscuit soldier covered in iron armor, like a tin can, was only knocked back a few steps. His armor dented and the biscuit inside cracked, but he didn't fall apart.

"Tsk! That's some thick sheet metal!" Kidd spat.

"Kira! To the right!" Kidd shouted.

Kira's figure flashed like a ghost, his twin scythes slashing out in a crisscross pattern. With a few "swish" sounds, he precisely struck the metal joints or unprotected areas of several biscuit soldiers, dismembering them.

"Know!"

"Captain! Look! Those dark things are coming!" A crew member pointed in horror at five twisted black shadows emerging from the shadows at the edge of the battlefield—five different-shaped Earth Grudge Monsters!

Drake's expression instantly turned serious: "Be careful! That's the Fifth Emperor's monster! Prepare to meet it!"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!

Fire Escape Earth Grudge Fear opened its giant mouth, and without saying a word, a blazing sea of ​​fire suddenly erupted out!

It instantly devoured several pirate forces in front of Drake who couldn't dodge in time! The screams were drowned out by the roar of the flames.

Even more terrifying, its black body suddenly absorbed water and swelled up in the flames!

"Burning dry!" It let out a muffled, low roar like churning lava, instantly transforming into a towering, scorching giant of juice!

Parahuman-type squeeze fruit!
The giant fist, wreathed in flames and viscous pressure, slammed into the medium-sized pirate ship where the Drake Pirates were located, like a lava meteorite, carrying terrifying wind pressure!

"Get out of the way!!!" Drake roared, his eyes bloodshot, as he slammed his massive body aside, knocking aside several crew members.

Boom-! ! ! !

The scorching juice-filled fist struck the center of the ship precisely!
Wood chips, juice, flames, and fragments of human flesh flew wildly in a chaotic spray!
The ship was smashed and set ablaze, making a teeth-grinding cracking sound, and sank rapidly! High-temperature steam mixed with fruit acids and the smell of burning permeated the air.

Earth-遁地怨虞 blends into the ground like a shadow.

“Trap!” A hoarse voice, like the grinding of rocks, rang out.

The next moment, a large area of ​​ground along the path of the Drake Pirates' left flank charge instantly turned into hellish fangs!
Countless giant stalagmites, sharp as metal and gleaming with a cold light, burst forth from the ground! "Thud! Thud!" The sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh rang out one after another! Several pirate experts at the forefront were instantly impaled by the stalagmites and pinned to death in mid-air, their blood flowing down the stalagmites!

At the same time, a large amount of viscous, crystalline syrup seeped from the surface of the monster's body, flowing rapidly like a living thing, instantly enveloping the battle formation temporarily formed by several small pirate crews next to it!
"Sugar solidification!" The earth-burrowing, earth-wrenching cry rang out.

Lick the fruit!

The syrup hardened at a visible speed, making a crisp "crackling" sound, and in the blink of an eye formed a huge candy prison that shone with an alluring amber luster, yet was as hard as steel!

The trapped pirates inside slashed with their swords in terror, making crisp clanging sounds, but only leaving white marks.

"Let us out! What the hell is this?!" Desperate pounding and screaming echoed from Candy Prison.

The enormous body of Wind Release: Earth Grudge Fear suddenly compressed into a single point, and then burst out like a balloon compressed to its limit!
"Crush!!!" A sharp whistling sound tore through the air! The extremely compressed and violent airflow formed countless sharp and wildly spinning wind blade tornadoes, which directly swept towards some members of the Kid Pirates and Apoo's Radio Pirates who were trying to flank from the side!
At the same time, countless fine grains of sand emanated from its body surface—"Sandstorm!" The gale carried the sand and gravel, instantly forming a deathly sandstorm that blotted out the sun and darkened the sky!
Sand-sand Fruit!

"Ugh! My eyes!"

"Skin! The skin has been cut open!"

"Sand! I inhaled it into my lungs! Cough cough cough!"

The sand and gravel, like millions of bullets flying at high speed, possess terrifying cutting and penetrating power with the aid of the wind blades!

The pirates caught in the storm had their clothes, skin, and flesh stripped away in a frenzy!

The screams were drowned out by the roar of the wind and sand, and severed limbs and remains mingled with the sand and gravel, flying around like a scarlet rain!
Kidd used his metal arm to protect his head and face, but he was still forced to retreat repeatedly, sparks flying from the metal arm and leaving scratches.

Ap screamed and used sound waves to protect himself, but he was still forced into a sorry state by the all-pervasive sandstorm.

"Damn it! What kind of weather is this?!" Kidd roared.

Water Release: Earth Grudge Fear silently "melted" in the shadows near Trebol and Diamante, transforming into a thick, black curtain of water exuding an ominous aura. It spread out silently, instantly enveloping several of Doflamingo's outer circle executives and their subordinates who were caught off guard!

"Gurgle...boil..." A low, strange sound, like bubbles churning, came from the water curtain.

Heat-Heat Fruit!

"What is that?! It's so hot! Ahhh!!" The water curtain instantly boiled! The scalding black water, hot enough to melt steel, was terrifyingly corrosive and caused an intense feeling of suffocation, like a steam cleaner from hell!
"It's water! Boil it! It's sticky. Ugh!!" Trebol's slime lost its stickiness instantly upon encountering the scalding black water, and he himself was engulfed! The pirates engulfed were like those who had fallen into a pot of boiling oil; their skin instantly became red, swollen, blistered, and ulcerated! They let out shrill, inhuman screams!

“Baby-5! Pull me out of the gurgling water.” Diamanti’s magnificent armor quickly turned red and hot in the boiling water! He struggled in vain for a few moments, then fell silent in the churning black water, leaving only his floating, boiled remains.

A terrifying aroma of meat mixed with a pungent, corrosive odor filled the air.

Lightning Release: Earth Grudge Fear's body flashed with lightning! "False Darkness!" A blinding lightning spear formed from pure destructive energy tore through the air, which was darkened by the sandstorm. With a shrill, judgmental whistle and a pungent smell of ozone, it shot with perfect accuracy toward the Apoo Broadcast Pirates' flagship!
Boom! ...
A blinding flash of lightning exploded! The deck instantly vaporized, leaving a charred hole, and the ship's keel groaned under the strain!

Immediately afterwards, a ring of incredibly hot, distorting steam erupted around the body of the Thunder Escape Earth Grudge Fear—"Steam Dangerous Might!" The steam was not for defense, but rather violently merged with and amplified the lightning that had not yet dissipated!
Sizzle—Boom!

In the core area where the lightning spear exploded, violent lightning and scalding steam intertwined and expanded wildly!

A massive, blurry phantom of a lightning demon, composed of pure lightning and pale steam, suddenly appeared!

Evaporating fruit!

"Roar—!!" The demon roared, its huge fists, wreathed in lightning and steam, smashing down on the surrounding allied ships like pile drivers!
boom! boom! boom!
The ferocious steam thunder fist and shockwave swept indiscriminately!
The deck of the nearby pirate ship was instantly melted by the terrifying heat and torn apart by the violent lightning!
The ship's structure twisted, broke, and burst into flames under the combined onslaught of lightning and steam! Pirates who were lucky enough to escape the first wave of lightning strikes were grazed by the sweeping steam lightning fists, suffering severe burns at best and instant carbonization at worst!

The air was filled with a strange, mixed smell of burnt flesh, burning wood, and ionized oxygen.

"My boat! My precious boat!!!"

The five Earthly Wraiths were like ice cubes thrown into a boiling oil vat, instantly igniting even more devastating chaos and fear!
Their fusion of elemental power and Devil Fruit abilities was clean, efficient, and incredibly cruel, creating five different, bloody, and mangled death infernos within the Allied Forces!

The pirate alliance, which had initially managed to stabilize itself and attempt a counterattack thanks to the Supernovas, saw its little bit of "advantage" vanish instantly under the unreasonable attack of Jigum-Yo!
Fear spread like a plague in the eyes of the survivors.

Drake swatted away the wreckage of a biscuit soldier blown by the hot air with his massive claws. His voice, in Allosaurus form, was filled with unprecedented solemnity and a hint of despair as he roared into the communicator:
"Retreat! Everyone! Disengage as much as possible! This is a battle we can't handle! We haven't even seen the Fifth Emperor himself! This is a fucking massacre! This is hell!"

His enormous dinosaur eyes swept over the burning ships, the melting candy prison, the boiling black water, the raging sandstorm, and the Thunder Demon still throwing punches. His heart sank to the bottom.
