One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, opening the Eight Gates

died!

Another one of the Five Elders has died!

Moreover, compared to the last time in God Valley, when Satan Saint was killed by Lynn's powerful kick, this time...

This time, Nasujuro Sei's death seemed so... casual.

It's like casually crushing an ant that's in your way.

fear!

An unprecedented, soul-deep fear instantly gripped the hearts of all the survivors present!

"All troops, attack!"

"at all costs!"

"Kill him—!!!"

Figarand Garin Saint decisively issued the order to attack.

He knew they had no way out!

Today, it's either Lynn who dies, or they all perish!

Following his order.

The naval admiral and the members of the Knights of God trembled violently.

Reason told them that they had to carry out the order.

But my body's instincts were fiercely resisting... I can't go on!

Faced with that golden Buddha statue, which resembled a creator god, any attack seemed so pale and powerless.

It was that one second of hesitation.

hum - hum - hum -

Those dozen or so expressionless Seraphs moved.

As emotionless killing machines, they know nothing of fear.

All they know is to execute commands!

call out!call out!call out!

More than a dozen laser beams, like shooting stars streaking across the night sky, shot precisely from all directions towards the core of the golden Buddha statue, which was where Lynn was located.

The Seraph has moved!

These weapons, possessing Lunarian blood and hailed as "humanity's greatest masterpiece," faithfully carried out their orders.

S-Bear swung its massive, fleshy paws, unleashing a shockwave of immense power.

S-Eagle unleashed a sharp slash comparable to that of Hawkeye Mihawk.

S-Snake takes Empress Hancock's Love-Love Fruit power to its extreme; its alluring rays are enough to instantly petrify those with weak wills.

Each Seraph possesses astonishing combat power comparable to that of a Marine Admiral!

All of them were used.

Its power is so great that even if four sea emperors joined forces, they could not underestimate it!

"here you go!"

A knight from the Order of Gods, witnessing this scene, had hope rekindled on his face.

"As long as we can stall him! As long as we can destroy that strange Buddha statue..."

however.

His words came to an abrupt end.

The golden Buddha, enveloped in the crimson Susanoo, made only a simple movement in the face of this earth-shattering attack.

It raised its other hand, but didn't smash the sky island.

Then, as if swatting away an annoying fly, he casually swept his hand across.

No tricks.

There are no special moves.

It's the purest, most unreasonable, crushing force.

Snapped!

A soft sound.

The shockwave emitted by S-Bear burst like a bubble the moment it touched the golden Buddha's hand.

Immediately afterwards, its indestructible body was gently brushed by the Buddha's hand, and instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, leaving not even a trace.

Snapped!

Another sound.

The slashes fired by the S-Eagle, the petrifying rays fired by the S-Snake, along with a dozen laser beams, were as fragile as paper before the Buddha's Hand.

They were completely erased without even leaving a trace on that golden palm.

Then, the Buddha's Hand continued its sweeping attack with undiminished momentum.

S-Eagle, S-Snake, S-Shark...

One after another, the Seraphim, hailed by Vegapunk as the strongest human, appeared as fragile as porcelain dolls before that enormous hand.

It breaks when touched.

It collapses at the first touch.

They couldn't even put up a second of resistance.

It was just a wave.

More than a dozen Seraphim units were completely wiped out.

All their attacks vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed in this world.

"..."

The whole world fell into a deathly silence once again.

The World Government coalition forces, faced with this miraculous scene, were completely dumbfounded.

That's a Seraphim!

It is the world government's ultimate weapon, a gamble on the future!

That's it...gone?!

For the first time, cracks appeared on the faces of the five supreme rulers of the world government, faces forever etched with indifference and majesty.

It was an expression that mixed absurdity, bewilderment, and utter shock.

Having lived for hundreds of years, observing the ever-changing world, they thought they had long since achieved inner peace.

But the scene before them was like an invisible hammer, shattering their pride and dignity of the past eight hundred years.

Within the ranks of the Knights of God.

The newly appointed captain, Saint Shamrock, whose face always bore the arrogance typical of Celestial Dragons, was now deathly pale.

The naval forces fared even worse.

The Supreme Commander of the World Government, Kong the Steelbone.

This man, who had stood at the pinnacle of the Navy since Roger's time, was now somewhat unsteady on his feet, his mountain-like body unsteady.

He witnessed the bloody battle at God Valley, the rise and fall of Roger, and the peak of Whitebeard's career.

But he swore he had never seen such outrageous, such unreasonable power.

"era……"

Steel Bone's throat was dry as he uttered two words, his voice so hoarse that even he felt like a stranger to himself.

"It's really... coming to an end..."

Beside him, the three admirals of the navy had completely lost their former glory.

The magma that represented "absolute justice"—Akainu Sakazuki—has been completely extinguished.

Kizaru Borsalino's sunglasses had long since slipped off, and his face, which always wore a lewd and lazy smile, was now filled with shock.

His mouth was slightly open, and his signature "How scary~" got stuck in his throat, turning into an unutterable, choked syllable.

This time, it's truly terrifying.

The chill around Aokiji Kuzan had long since dissipated without a trace.

He simply stood silently, gazing up at the colossal statue with a complex expression.

They are the navy's top combat force.

It is the faith in the hearts of countless naval soldiers.

But at this moment, before this god-like colossal statue, they were no different from the soldiers who had completely fainted.

They are all... insignificant ants awaiting judgment.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!!"

Kaido's maniacal laughter was the only different sound on this desperate battlefield.

"Did you see that! Sengoku! Garp!"

"This is my son! The strongest man in the world!"

Sengoku and Garp did not respond.

They simply looked up at the colossal, god-like statue, their faces filled with bitterness and helplessness.

Just when everyone thought it was all over.

An unexpected change has occurred!

Without warning, the sky darkened.

No.

It's not just simple darkness.

Instead, it was a strange, dark red color, a mixture of destructive flames and ominous abyssal darkness, that devoured the entire sky!

A force hotter than the sun, more violent than magma, and carrying an aura of icy coldness and death that could freeze the soul, descended from the sky and enveloped this sea area!
