Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 302 The Clash Between the Holy Mother's Blazing Flames and the Five Natural Elemental Systems!

Inside a hot air balloon over Mary Geoise, Spandam is holding a telescope and observing the situation beneath the red earth.

More than an hour ago, two steps made of frozen ice and magma suddenly appeared on the Red Earth, signaling the start of war. Although the two steps disappeared quickly, Spandam immediately boarded a hot air balloon and went to observe the situation below.

"That's..." Spandam, holding binoculars, suddenly changed his expression and said, "They're here! Quick, Den Den Mushi!"

A member of the CP, dressed in a black suit, immediately handed Spandam a Den Den Mushi.

Soon, the voices of the Five Elders came through the Den Den Mushi.

"Spandam, how is the situation?" Sacred Vocuri asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Vochuli, we have observed that the rebels have gathered below the port on the Red Line, along with about a dozen warships, and they have all taken off together. It is probably due to the power of that Laugh!" Spandam quickly reported.

"I understand. You've done a great job. Keep observing!" Sacred Vocuri said, his tone unusually excited.

Soon, the Five Elders hung up the Den Den Mushi. Spandam looked at the huge shadow that was rising at a steady speed, his expression somewhat complicated.

"It's over," Spandam said softly.

"What's over, sir?" Spandam's CP underling asked, somewhat puzzled.

"My life of luxury and high office is over, you idiot!" Spandam crushed the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) that connected him to the Five Elders, then commanded, "Quick, turn the hot air balloon around and leave Mary Geoise as fast as you can!"

"Huh?" the CP follower asked, somewhat confused. "But didn't that person just tell us to continue observing?"

"What are you observing for? Get out of here! You don't want to live anymore, do you?" Spandam kicked his underling in the leg and cursed.

His report just now was his final act of loyalty to the world government!

"Where are we going?" the CP member asked, somewhat flustered and confused.

"Anywhere is fine, as long as it's not here. Check the wind direction, whichever way it's blowing, that's where we run. In short, get out of this damned Mary Geoise as fast as you can!" Spandam ordered.

The reason he chose to board the hot air balloon at the first opportunity to observe the navy's movements was precisely to obtain a convenient means to escape the vortex of Mary Geoise, wasn't it?

Soon, the hot air balloon was seen riding the wind and quickly moving away, leaving the red earth continent behind.

Meanwhile, in the port, which was rising at a steady speed, Bane and the others also noticed the hot air balloon drifting away with the wind, but no one paid any attention to it.

This situation was entirely expected. The rotten ship of the world government is about to sink, and "wise people" will naturally not choose to perish with it.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; whether it's the desolate pasture or the hot air balloon that just left, both prove this point.

In fact, Bane wanted to make Issho go even faster, but seeing the effects of the rapid ascent, which made many of the surrounding naval soldiers unable to adapt to the change and their faces pale, he remained silent.

Just as they reached two-thirds of the way up the Red Line, the clouds above the Red Line began to change, and a huge shadow seemed to want to emerge from the clouds.

"What is that?" Smoker asked, looking at the enormous shadow that seemed to engulf the sky in shock.

Tina, standing to the side, swallowed hard, a hint of panic in her eyes, and said, "Perhaps... that's the Uranus we discussed at the previous meeting?"

Not only did they notice the change in the sky, but Bane and the others did as well.

"Get ready, that thing is probably Uranus, also known as the Holy Mother's Flame!" Bane shouted, waving his hand.

Actually, everyone was already mentally prepared for this situation.

With so many of their main forces gathered together, taking off and heading towards Mary Geoise, they're practically sitting ducks. Unless the people on Mary Geoise are stupid, they'll all seize the opportunity to give them a good beating.

It could be some strange ability attack, or it could be a dense barrage of cannon fodder, but Uranus was also considering it.

In the four corners of the port, scalding lava was already dripping from Sakazuki's hands, and the intense heat emanating from his body made the surrounding naval soldiers involuntarily want to stay away from him.

With each breath Kuzan took, a chilling, icy mist dissipated into white smoke, and a thin layer of ice froze beneath his feet.

Zoro had his eyes closed, but his hands were already pressed against the Wado Ichimonji hanging at his waist, and one could vaguely see arcs of electricity gently passing through the ends of his green hair.

Fubuki's expression was also quite solemn, with fine yellow sand flowing around her like ribbons.

The four masters of natural elements are prepared to deal with the terrifying attack that could break out at any time.

Soon, a massive, metallic object, shaped like a spaceship, emerged from the clouds, its lower half protruding. Then, it opened a circular hole at its bottom, which encompassed a portion of the Red Earth continent, while pointing directly towards the location of Bane and his companions.

Just as everyone had a clear look at the thing, a loud boom was heard, as if something inside the spaceship had been activated, and orange-red light began to spread gradually through the void.

Bane and the others immediately felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were enveloped by a strong sense of crisis.

Meanwhile, at Pongal Castle in Mary Geoise.

In the Hall of Power, the Five Elders and others were watching a video on a screen connected to a camera device below Uranus, which clearly showed Bane and his men taking off from the port and warships.

"Inevitably, a small portion of the Red Line will be covered, but Mary Geoise will not be affected," Piet Saint said, looking at the curtain.

"Injuries are inevitable, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't hesitate!" Nasujiro said coldly.

"Activate it, destroy them!" Grimm said, his eyes darkening.

As the sound subsided, a ruthless glint flashed in Vocuri Saint's eyes, and he pressed a red button on the table.

As he pressed the button, the enormous spaceship in the clouds emitted a 'hum' that resounded throughout the entire sky above Mary Geoise.

Countless eyes were drawn to it. Then, the orange light in the huge hole suddenly turned white and became extremely dazzling. Immediately afterward, a huge and surging pillar of energy burst out from it.

The energy beam covered a vast area. Even though it had been deviated as far away from the Red Earth as possible, a portion of the rock wall's edge was still within the beam's impact range.

The moment the beam of light touched the edge of the Red Line, it sliced ​​open the rock face of the Red Line like a hot knife through butter. The cut portion evaporated instantly, leaving not a trace of ash.

At the same time, Sakazuki's expression suddenly darkened, and lava shot into the sky from his hand.

"Lava Flow - Bursting Mantle!!!"

There was no intention to fully resist the terrifying energy beam falling from above; it merely covered the airspace above the port and the warships. The scorching hot magma shot up hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye and crashed hard into the energy beam.

"It works!" Zefa said with a hint of excitement.

As a top-tier Logia-type powerhouse, Sakazuki's full-force magma energy is quite terrifying. After all, destroying an island with a single blow is not a difficult task for Logia-type powerhouses like him.

Visibly, the continuous stream of magma was being extinguished by the beam of light, but with Sakazuki's strong support, they were still able to hold out against the beam for a while.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

But it was only a temporary stalemate.

In just a few breaths, the pillar of light began to press down on Sakazuki's magma, causing it to fall. Although Sakazuki's expression was ferocious, he seemed to have reached the limit of his full power and could no longer increase the explosive force of the magma.

At that moment, Kuzan unleashed a chilling aura from his hand, which rapidly shot into the air.

"Ice Age!!!" Kuzan roared.

Following Sakazuki's scorching magma pillar, Kuzan's ice pillar also erupted. The molten magma and the cold ice pillar should have been at odds, just like Kuzan and Sakazuki, but at this moment, they were strangely harmonious. The last time Bane saw such a scene was during the Marineford War at Marineford, the former Marine Headquarters.

At that time, Sakazuki and Kuzan teamed up to deal with Charlotte Linlin, and their cooperation was quite harmonious.

This also shows that although they don't like each other, they still have the tacit understanding of long-time comrades-in-arms when it matters.

Kuzan's continuous freezing air, combined with Sakazuki's magma, once again blocked the terrifying energy beam, temporarily halting the previous decline.

But clearly that's not enough.

Immediately afterwards, Fubuki raised her arms, and her superpower and Sand-Sand Fruit power erupted simultaneously. A surge of yellow sand, like a tsunami, gushed from her palms and crashed into Uranus's pillar of destruction.

Fubuki didn't have much chemistry with Sakazuki and Kuzan, and the sand clashed with the ice and magma they unleashed. However, Fubuki quickly used her delicate psychic abilities to harmonize the conflict and forcefully merge them together to resist Uranus's terrifying energy output.

"What exactly is Vegapunk's Mother Flame? Even the energy output of the three natural elements can't stop it!?" Bane couldn't help but complain as he looked at the 'Mother Flame' that was still sinking, but its speed had slowed down considerably.

Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed, precisely piercing the convergence point of the three energies: yellow sand, magma, and ice. The lightning power then rapidly expanded, displaying its ferocious aura.

"Raiden!" Zoro pointed to the sky with Wado Ichimonji in his hand.

It seems that thanks to the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which is said to be the strongest, the energy output of the four natural types finally kept pace with the pillar of light, stabilizing the situation.

At the same time, the rhythm of this attack by the Holy Mother's Flame seemed to have reached its final stage.

Because everyone's attention was focused on the sky, no one noticed the changes below. At this moment, beneath the Red Earth Continent, the sea surface was pierced by this energy, creating an enormous abyss. A large amount of seawater was evaporated, and once this energy pillar dissipated, it would likely cause a terrifying backflow.

Therefore, the fleet, which had already been far away, still dared not stop and continued to accelerate its withdrawal from this terrifying area.

Just then, the Holy Mother's Flame suddenly contracted, and this contraction caused all the energy pillars that had been falling freely to converge above the four natural energy systems. The previously stagnant balance was immediately broken, and the energy pillars of ice, magma, yellow sand, lightning, and the unknown element suddenly exploded. Clearly, the Holy Mother's Flame had come to an end.

But what was terrifying was that after this final energy explosion, the aftershocks, mixed with various elemental forces, poured down on Bane and the others like a rain curtain.

Seeing this, a look of solemnity flashed in Bane's eyes, and his dark power was about to erupt on the spot.

But at that moment, Borsalino's figure transformed into golden light and flew into the air. Before the elemental rain could descend, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his Observation Haki instantly enveloped everything in the sky.

"The Eight-Foot Magatama," Borsalino murmured.

A dense shower of golden light instantly filled the sky around him, then shot out rapidly, with almost every single element of light hitting the chaotic aftershocks of the falling elements with pinpoint accuracy.

The dense explosions, like a barrage of fire, spread through the air, obscuring the entire sky.

Watching Borsalino single-handedly detonate all the chaotic energy aftershocks in the air, leaving none behind, Bane's lips twitched a few times.

How could you be so accurate? In the original story, how did you manage to miss Trafalgar Law's submarine without firing a single shot?

Huh? Ah. So you missed because you were good at aiming, right? And you still say you didn't release the fish?

As the continuous explosions gradually subsided and smoke filled the sky, Borsalino gracefully landed back beside Bane.

"Well done, as expected of you, Borsalino!" Bane praised generously.

Borsalino, with a calm expression, shook his cloak of justice and said, "It's just a little bit of weathering."
