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

“Okay…we agree,” Saint Satan practically spat out the words. “Now, immediately! Make him stop! Get him out of Mary Geoise!”

“Deal.” A barely perceptible smile appeared on Sengoku’s face, but his gaze turned to Satan Saint. “But I still need one more person.”

"Who?"

"Joelie Ginny, commander of the Revolutionary Army [Eastern Army]".

"Impossible!" Saint Satan refused decisively, his voice suddenly rising, "Don't push your luck, Sengoku! Don't forget who put you in this position!"

Sengoku frowned, his voice turning completely cold: "In that case, please do as you please... go and stop Gern yourself."

"You really think... we can't do anything to him?" Satan's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he abruptly stood up and walked outside.

Watching him walk away leaning on his cane, Sengoku sneered inwardly.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered the Den Den Mushi call that Gern had made before he forced his way into G-1.

"Military affairs must ultimately serve politics; and politics... must eventually bow to military affairs."

Only now did he truly understand what the "trump card" Steel Bone Kong had left him all those years ago really was.

"The Air Marshal is right... The navy must be in our own hands."

Moreover, the legend has come to an end, and the Great Pirate Era is sweeping the world—the World Government is absolutely unwilling to lose the Navy.

His true ambition in the Warring States period was to rule the seas with justice!

And this is precisely the best of times.

The Era of the Four Admirals

Chapter 329 Jaigolusia Satan Saint

On the outskirts of the Land of Gods, the once luxurious and tidy residential area of ​​the world's nobles has now been transformed into a bloody inferno.

Genn slowly pulled the Black Blade Eight Desolations from the neck of a CP0 elite guard, drawing out a spray of warm blood.

He looked around; there were agents, guards, and even some richly dressed Celestial Dragon private soldiers…

The corpses were piled up like mountains, with severed limbs scattered everywhere; almost no body was intact.

Thick blood flowed into streams, soaking the expensive marble floor, and the pungent smell of blood was so strong it was nauseating.

Even mountains of corpses and seas of blood couldn't compare to this.

Gern casually flicked the blood off his knife, looking at the people in the distance who were trembling with fear.

Yet he was still being commanded by the endless stream of "ants," a cold, mocking smile curling at the corner of his lips: "Heh...it seems the talks on the Warring States side are going 'well'."

He knew perfectly well that apart from the two unlucky ones at the beginning, no one else from the Order of God had shown up, not even Grimm, whom he had severely injured, had returned to seek revenge.

The World Government has clearly made some kind of "concession," trying to buy time with the lives of these grunts, or... to satisfy some of its bloodlust as a sign of "sincerity"?

After all, the world government has as many of these 'things' as it wants.

Just as Gern was about to ignore these grunts and continue his advance towards the core area of ​​the Land of the Gods

Suddenly, his Observation Haki keenly detected a completely different kind of Haki appearing in front of him!

"Huh?" Gern stopped abruptly.

He turned his head slightly, his gaze piercing through the billowing smoke, looking in the direction from which the domineering aura emanated.

Not far away, a figure stood quietly.

The man was exceptionally tall and robust, still upright even in his old age, with thick hair, a deep scar on his left cheek, a head of fluffy white curly hair, and an equally fluffy white beard.

He was dressed impeccably in a black suit, trousers, and white shirt, with a dark purple tie, and leaning on a cane.

However, what is most striking are his eyes, cold and indifferent, as if he regards all things in the world as mere ants and weeds.

It is none other than one of the Five Elders, the God of Scientific Defense—Jaygorusia Satan!

Satan Saint first coldly observed the bloody hell created by Gern, then his gaze finally settled on Gern and he slowly spoke.

“Gern Reginald Sigmar”.

Gern frowned slightly as he looked at Saint Satan, who had appeared in person, and said with a hint of amusement, "Saint Satan, Jaigolusia..."

It's truly rare that the Five Elders would personally grace us with their presence.

"What, did you come to give me a 'gift'?"

Ignoring Gern's sarcasm, Satan Saint spoke in his icy tone, "Bartholomew the Great Bear... is a half-Bakania."

He paused, then tapped his cane lightly on the ground with a dull thud: "I heard he's joined you."

Gern's eyes sharpened instantly.

Satan continued, his tone as if stating an eternal truth: "But the existence of their race, from the very beginning, was destined to forever serve as slaves."

This is their inescapable bloodline destiny, and also the unchanging rule of this world.

You...cannot protect him.

Hearing Satan Saint's words, filled with racism and a cold determination, Gern's sneer deepened.

He could almost guess what the other person wanted to say and do.

“It seems…” Gern’s voice turned extremely dangerous, “that you’re not planning to hand over the people? You old fool.”

“The Bakania people do not deserve freedom,” Satan Saint repeated, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Really?!" Gern raised his left hand and unbuttoned the Justice Cloak!

"Whoosh!" The white admiral's cloak billowed in the wind and fluttered in the air.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the collar of the black shirt with his right hand and yanked it hard!

"Rip!" The clothes on his upper body were instantly shattered into countless pieces, which fluttered down, revealing the strong body covered with various new and old scars underneath!

Every scar is a medal from a fierce battle!

Immediately afterwards, Gern opened his left hand slightly, and countless high-frequency vibrating pure white particles converged wildly, emitting a heart-palpitating buzzing sound!

He gripped the Black Blade Eight Desolations tightly in his right hand, and the dark purple Overlord Lightning erupted once more!

The sky darkened, and a dark purple, domineering flash of light slashed wildly down beside Gern!

Centered on him, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble violently and crack!

The surrounding air groaned under the strain, revealing countless fine cracks!

Satan Saint's cold, indifferent eyes were fixed on the weapon in Gern's hand, which was frantically devouring domineering energy.

The black blade, Bahuang, which emitted an ominous glow, frowned deeply, and even a rare hint of fear flashed in its eyes.

That knife... it left a very deep impression on him!

Back then, the previous owner of this knife was a madman who was equally lawless and incredibly powerful.

It was with this that he fought his way through numerous obstacles, and even once broke into the forbidden "Flower Chamber", alarming the supreme Lord Im!

Although the final outcome remains unknown, the intrusion itself left an indelible shadow in the minds of the very few high-ranking officials who were aware of it.

Now, this deadly blade has once again appeared in the hands of an equally insane, or perhaps even more powerful, user, and is aimed directly at the heart of Mary Geoise…

Satan Saint's thoughts were forcibly interrupted by the violent killing intent and shockwaves that came from Gern!

We can't hesitate any longer!

Faced with the full power of "Skyquake" Gern, even as one of the Five Elders, he dared not be the slightest bit arrogant!

"Hmph! Stubborn to the end!" Satan Saint let out a low, inhuman snort.

The next moment, his burly body underwent a terrifying transformation!

Thick, black smoke, seemingly from the depths of the underworld, suddenly erupted from his body, instantly enveloping him!

His body expanded and grew rapidly, as if inflating!

The abdomen became round and had an eerie dark color.

The muscles in his upper body bulged and bulged, his skin became rough like rock, and two huge, curved, ferocious bull horns that gleamed with an eerie light suddenly pierced out from the sides of his head!

Its face became ferocious and terrifying, and black smoke carrying its breath spewed from its mouth and nose!

His lower body was completely detached from human form!

It transformed into a spider's body covered in bristles and with many sharp limbs!

Zoan type, Mythical Zoan, Ushioni form, Humanoid form!

Looking at the transformed Satan Saint Genn, he sneered, the killing intent in his voice almost tangible: "To be honest..."

"The disgusting things you've done, you old bastard..."

"It's really disgusting!"

"Even those of us who once judged superiority solely by combat strength now feel..."

Gern leaned forward slightly, assuming an attack stance, and roared, enunciating each word clearly.

"I'll really kill you with one punch!"

"This doesn't even qualify as a collapse in combat strength!!!"

Chapter 330 Bull Demon

"Shockwave - Willow Catkins!" Before Gern could finish speaking, the ground beneath his feet exploded!

After elementalizing, it transformed into a stream of dissipating vibrating particles, leaving behind a gradually fading white shockwave afterimage.

His true form, with its terrifying explosive power, instantly approached Satan Saint!

The black blade in his right hand, Eight Desolations, was wrapped in boiling dark purple domineering lightning and high-frequency vibrating pure white particles, tearing through the air and slashing straight at the opponent's face!

Satan Saint neither dodged nor avoided, his inhumanly cold eyes shining brightly!

"Fierce Eyes!" An invisible mental shock violently crashed into Gern's mind, attempting to crush his consciousness.

However, Gern's momentum did not diminish at all. His eyes flashed red light, and his even more powerful Conqueror's Haki launched a counterattack like a tangible blood-red lightning bolt!

"Whoosh!" Two top-tier domineering auras collided, causing a distorted ripple to explode in the air, and the remaining building debris around them silently turned into dust!

Almost simultaneously, Gern's knife arrived!

Satan Saint's enormous bull-demon body suddenly shifted to the side, its ferocious, curved horn fiercely meeting the blades of the Eight Desolations!

"Clang!!!" An extremely ear-piercing sound of metal clashing exploded, and sparks flew everywhere!

The shockwave from the collision exploded in a ring, lifting layers of ground, and dust and debris surged outwards like a tsunami!

Gern felt a tingling sensation in his hand; the hardness of the bull's horn was beyond his imagination.

But he continued his offensive, using the reaction force from the collision to spin his body in mid-air.

His left fist was already filled with destructive, vibrating white light, and he hurled a vibration ball at Satan Saint's swollen, round belly!

"Heavenly Tremor - Meteor Shower!"

Satan Saint did not dodge, but instead spewed out black smoke from his mouth and let out a low, inhuman sneer, as if mocking the pointlessness of the attack.

"boom!!!!!"

The vibration ball struck the target solidly, and a tremendous vibrational force was instantly injected!

Satan Saint's eerie skin on his abdomen rippled violently like water, and countless white cracks, like glass shattering, appeared in the surrounding space!

A terrifying shockwave passed through his body, carving a deep, bottomless trench into the ground far behind him!

However, Satan's massive body only trembled violently, and the part that was hit visibly dented.

The wound was torn open, and you could even see the darkness writhing inside, but the next second, a thick black mist enveloped the wound, and it was almost instantly restored to its original state!

"Useless struggle." Satan Saint's cold voice rang out, and the huge spider limbs suddenly rose up, like the sharpest spears, with a sharp whistling sound as they tore through the wind, and fiercely stabbed at Gern, who had nowhere to get a foothold in the air!

At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a stream of foul-smelling, terrifyingly powerful purplish-black venom, which shot towards Gern's landing point like a high-pressure water cannon!

Gern's pupils contracted, his fighting instincts reaching their peak.

Observation Haki allows one to predict the trajectory of all attacks.
