The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

"Drink!" Purple lightning flashed in Gern's eyes. Using the force of the recoil, he spun and leaped upwards, unleashing a dark purple crescent-shaped slash that tore through the air with an aura of dominance.

Roger swayed slightly, narrowly avoiding the attack, but a sharp gust of wind tore a gash in his shoulder.

"It's not over yet!!" Suddenly, a violent arc of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Gern's body, with dark purple lightning and scarlet lightning colliding fiercely in the void.

He suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and the high-frequency vibration of the blade emitted a teeth-grinding hum, accumulating terrifying energy as he sheathed the sword.

"Heavenly Tremor - Instant Prison..." The space seemed to freeze at this moment, with only the black blade, poised to strike, flashing with a deadly cold light.

"Kill!!!" The moment the Iaijutsu was unleashed, the entire battlefield was engulfed by a blinding purple-white light.

"Cough!" Roger's pupils suddenly contracted, and a hideous knife wound suddenly split open on his chest, spurting out blood.

His body swayed slightly, a trickle of crimson blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but the fighting spirit in his eyes did not diminish at all; instead, it burned with an even more intense light.

"Such a fast knife..." he chuckled, raised his hand to wipe away the blood, and turned to look behind him.

Gern's figure slowly emerged a few meters away, his blade sweeping out with a clear "whoosh".

He then slightly turned his head, dark purple arcs of electricity still swirling around him, his eyes cold and calm.

"Sorry, my domineering aura is just as strong!"

"A familiar feeling!" Roger slowly straightened up, looking at the black sword, Bahuang, and then touched the wound on his chest.

“Not bad slash…” He grinned, revealing his bloodstained teeth, “but… it’s still a bit lacking!”

Before he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet exploded with a deafening roar, and Ace, wreathed in boiling crimson lightning, slashed down with the force of splitting the heavens and earth!

Purple lightning surged in Gern's eyes, and he unleashed a devastating attack, the dark purple blade clashing violently with the crimson lightning in the air.

"clang!!"

Two peerless swords clashed once again after many years. The moment they struck, a terrifying shockwave exploded in a ring, instantly cracking and sinking the ground within a radius of a hundred meters.

The two unleashed their Conqueror's Haki in a frenzied battle, tearing at each other in the void. Crimson and purple lightning danced wildly like mad snakes, turning the sky a strange crimson hue.

Gern's hand went numb from the impact, but he saw Roger's fighting spirit intensify, and his sword strike suddenly changed from a slash to a thrust.

Ace's blade slashed upwards rapidly along the Eight Directions, sparking dazzling sparks.

Gern leaned back, using the momentum to draw an arc with his blade, and unleashed a fierce spinning slash straight for Roger's neck!

"Well done!" Roger laughed loudly, and instead of dodging, he met the attack with a reverse kasaya slash.

The moment the two swords collided, the high-frequency vibrating particles reacted violently with the top-level Armament Haki, causing space to distort and tremble.

The two figures flashed continuously amidst the dazzling sword light, and each clash triggered a deafening explosion.

Suddenly, Gern changed his move, his left hand tearing at the air beside him, causing spiderweb-like pale white patterns to move freely, and the Eight Desolations Blade to ripple with eerie purplish-black waves.

"Heavenly Tremor - Prison - Eclipse of the Moon!" Wherever the blade passed, even the light was distorted and swallowed up.

Chapter 194 The Annihilating Arrow That Pierces Through All Things

Gern's pupils turned completely pale white, the vibrating particles surrounding his body suddenly stopped, and even the air seemed to freeze.

“Heavenly Tremor…” He slowly raised his right hand, palm down, his five fingers suddenly clenching together.

"Spatial Domination - Collapse of All Things!!"

"Buzz!" A pure white shockwave rapidly expanded from beneath his feet, instantly covering the entire battlefield!

The space inside the ring trembled violently, gravity was distorted by the high-frequency shock waves, and the ground debris was suspended in the air against the law, only to disintegrate into dust in the next second.

Light refracts and breaks within the ring, forming countless prism-like pale cracks, as if the whole world has been cut into pieces.

Roger's body suddenly sank, as if enveloped by an invisible swamp, and every movement became ten times slower.

Even more terrifying, he could clearly feel that his bones, muscles, and even blood were gradually resonating with the vibration frequency of the space!

"Oh no, my body... is collapsing?!"

He looked down and saw fine cracks appearing on the skin of his arm, like cracks in porcelain.

Gern's figure slowly emerged from the center of the shockwave, his voice icy: "Sink into the vibrations, Roger!!!"

"Conqueror's Haki!!" Roger roared, his Conqueror's Haki erupting from his body like a volcano!

The dark red lightning forcefully broke free from the constraints of the shock ring. His muscles tensed, his blood vessels bulged, and every step he took caused the ground to collapse.

Ace's blade, imbued with unprecedented domineering power, slashed fiercely towards Gern!

Gern's pupils contracted slightly, "He can actually resist the disintegration effect with his domineering aura..."

But the next second, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Unfortunately, you won't last long."

The vibration ring contracted again, and the speed of spatial collapse... suddenly accelerated!

For a time, in this vast underwater battlefield forcibly opened up by Gern with his Heaven-Quake Fruit, the domineering roars and the tearing vibrations never ceased.

Each collision between the two seemed to overturn the entire sea, causing the seawater to surge back, the clouds to collapse, and even space itself to be distorted and deformed by the high-frequency vibrations.

Gern and Roger were already in a bloodthirsty frenzy, their figures intertwining in the shattered battlefield, their blades flashing and shockwaves tearing everything to shreds.

"Using Devil Fruit Awakening to even out the power gap?" Roger descended from the sky with a maniacal laugh.

Ace's longsword was wreathed in boiling dark red Haki. Before the blade even arrived, the violent wind had already stirred up towering waves, as if the entire ocean had submitted to this one strike!

"There's nothing I can do! My opponent is the strongest in the world!!" Gern grinned maliciously, his black blade, Eight Desolations, blocking in front of him. The moment the blades clashed...

"Clang!" A piercing metallic clang shattered, and a shockwave exploded outwards in a ring. The crystallized ground beneath their feet crumbled inch by inch, and shards of crystal flew out like a torrential rain.

Gern's arms were bulging with muscles, and pale, vibrating energy spread wildly along the blade, attempting to shatter Roger's Haki defense.

However, the dark red Haki on Ace's longsword erupted like a volcano, forcefully resisting the erosion of the shockwave!

Between the sea and the sky, pale and dark red flames intertwined, tearing the entire sky into pieces!

The two separated instantly, Roger's boot soles scraping against the crystallized ground, sending up blinding sparks.

Gern used the momentum to retreat, slowly extending his arms with palms facing upwards and fingertips trembling slightly.

"Boom!!!"

The air distorted, and the first shockwave spread silently!

"Heavenly Tremor - Ring - Tremor God Dance!"

Within ten meters, rocks, seawater, dust—all matter—silently disintegrated in the pale shockwave, transforming into crystalline particles suspended in the air.

Like a cascading galaxy, it was breathtakingly beautiful, yet terrifyingly so!

"This is terrifying! A quake!" Roger's pupils contracted, but the smile on his lips grew even more unrestrained.

His boots slammed into the ground, causing the crystallized surface to shatter. His figure shot into the sky like a cannonball, and Ace's longsword, wreathed in boiling Haki, slashed towards the core of the shockwave!

"Divine Evasion - Break!"

The moment the blade collided with the shockwave, the dark red aura and the pale light clashed violently, and sparks flew like a rainstorm!

Ace's blade trembled violently, and the metal decorations on the guard crumbled inch by inch, turning into fine gold dust that scattered everywhere.

Roger also coughed up blood, but unfortunately it was shattered into a blood mist by the high-frequency vibrations before it could drip down!

After all, it's impossible to say there's no impact in the Gern Skyquake Domain.

Even though Roger always relied on his powerful Haki to erase the effects of the Devil Fruit on himself (strong Haki can make one immune to the effects of the Devil Fruit),

Despite Gern awakening and unleashing the Heavenly Tremor Domain, he couldn't restrain Roger, but as time passed...

Roger will definitely face a situation where he cannot continue due to his terminal illness!

"Whether it's despicable or insidious... I cannot afford to lose this battle!"

Gern's black hair floated against gravity, and pale cracks appeared on the muscles of his arms, as if he were bearing some kind of force beyond the limit.

"Because... I need this victory!!"

The second shock ring suddenly expanded!

Within a hundred meters, the ground collapsed like fragile glass, and the fragments turned to dust before they even fell!

Immediately afterwards, the third layer of shock rings swept out!

Within a kilometer, the waves froze, the earth crystallized, and the sunlight refracted into a rainbow of colors, turning the entire battlefield into a giant mirror that stretched across the sky!

Roger's pupils suddenly contracted, but a wild smile spread across his lips.

He suddenly drew his sword, his figure moving like lightning, leaving a dark red afterimage on the crystallized ground as he frantically dodged.

Because he wouldn't be foolish enough to take a direct hit from a move of that range!

"Choose to hide? Then..." Gern released the Eight Desolations, letting it float beside him.

He then made a fist with his right hand, and high-frequency particles gathered wildly in his palm. The pale light twisted and condensed, transforming into a ferocious longbow nearly two meters long!

The bow was wreathed in spiraling shockwaves, and the bowstring was made of pure vibrational energy. Each tremor tore out fine cracks in the void.

"Just experience the annihilating arrow that pierces through everything!"

"Shock Bow..." Gern held the bowstring loosely with his left hand, and the vibrating particles in the space automatically collapsed and compressed, condensing into a spiral arrow at his fingertips.

The arrow's body is composed of countless layers of pale, vibrating rings, with its tip constantly emitting dazzling purplish-black electric sparks. Its mere existence distorts and collapses the surrounding light.

The bow was wrapped in spiraling energy patterns; the moment the string was drawn, ripples spread through the space.

"Starfall!" The moment the bowstring twanged, the arrow left the bow, trailing a spiraling pale tail of flame, transforming into a pale meteor that pierced through the battlefield!

Wherever it passed, the atmosphere was torn open, creating a vacuum channel, and space shattered like glass.

Faced with this attack, Roger abruptly stopped, gripping his sword with both hands, ready to cleave it in two, but...

"Star Collapse - Thousand Ring Shock!" The arrow suddenly split, and hundreds of shock rings erupted in front of Roger!

"Not good!" Roger's pupils contracted. Wherever the vibration ring entered, his muscles, bones, and blood vessels began to vibrate at a high frequency from the inside!

The skin cracked instantly, and before the blood could even seep out, it was shattered into a blood mist.

Even more terrifying is that these vibration rings are spreading throughout the body along the meridians!

Gern slowly lowered his longbow, Roger's gradually disintegrating figure reflected in his pale pupils: "To shatter everything on a level... that is the true meaning of 'Starfall'."

"Ahhh!!" Dark red domineering aura and pale shockwave clashed violently within Roger's body, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of his skin.

"Cough!" He groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, yet he laughed wildly as he slammed Ace into the ground.

"Soul Suppression!" Dark red domineering energy poured from the tip of the blade into the crystallized earth, causing the entire battlefield to explode!

The shockwave surged upwards, forcefully shattering the rampaging vibrational rings within the body. The crystallized ground shattered like a broken mirror, refracting countless dazzling rays of light.

Chapter 195 The End of an Era Marks the Fall of a Curtain!

"This is the moment I've been waiting for!!!" Gern's roar echoed across the shattered battlefield, his figure transforming into a pale lightning bolt amidst the rain of crystals.

At the same time, he raised both arms, and the vibrating particles around his body spun like a star ring, causing fine cracks to appear on his skin.

He's compressing the entire Earthquake Realm!!!

“Final shock…” The sky suddenly darkened, as if even the sun had been swallowed up.

Nine pale rings, each ten thousand meters in diameter, unfolded layer by layer in the sky, like wheels of judgment descended by the gods.

Inside each ring of vibration, space twists and collapses amidst high-frequency tremors, light is crushed into pale stardust, and the rubble, seawater, and even air on the battlefield silently disintegrate into the most primordial stream of particles.

"God Meteor Ring!"

The first shock ring suddenly contracted onto the Black Blade Eight Desolations!

boom--! ! !

The entire island's surface vanished instantly, not by collapsing or shattering, but by turning directly into nothingness.

The ground beneath Roger's feet resembled a pencil drawing erased by an eraser; he could even see the soles of his boots dissipating into particles.

"Madman!!" Roger suddenly looked up; the second shockwave ring had already begun to contract.

Thus, his entire body erupted with unprecedented dark red lightning. The Conqueror's Haki no longer entangled the blade, but instead transformed into a towering, earth-shattering tornado centered on himself, forcefully resisting the tearing force of the collapsing space!

But the price was that his skin began to bleed, and his bones groaned under the strain.

Gern hovered at the center of the ninth ring of shockwaves, blood streaming from his seven orifices, yet a maniacal smile played on his lips.
