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

Just as the overwhelming mental attack was about to engulf Gern, he unleashed the most shameless move he had made since developing the Heaven-Shattering Fruit.

"Shaking Flash - Instant Strike!"

In an instant, Gern's body did not simply become elemental, but completely decomposed into countless high-frequency vibrating pure white particles.

It blended into the air molecule flow and forcefully passed through the gaps in the mental lock of those countless "fierce eyes"!

"What about people?!"

When Gren activated his Shockwave, it was as if he had vanished into thin air in the eyes of others. Satan Saint couldn't even sense him with his Observation Haki, so he had to search for him everywhere.

At the same time, in the next instant, high above the massive body of the bull demon, countless vibrating particles rapidly converged and recombined like rivers flowing into the sea.

Gern suddenly appeared!

Not only was he completely unharmed, but he even had a hint of coldness on his lips after his attack was broken.

Without the slightest hesitation, he thrust the Black Blade Eight Desolations into his waist with his right hand.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest and then suddenly opened them!

"Skyquake - Star Ring!!"

Between the palms, highly compressed, violently buzzing pure white vibrating particles converged wildly, instantly forming a dazzling white ring that was extremely solid and no larger than the palm of one's hand!

Immediately afterwards, Gern flexed his arm muscles, aimed his palms at the massive bull demon below that was temporarily stiffened by the release of its wide-ranging fierce gaze and was searching for him, and pressed the white star ring down hard!

The white star ring swelled in the wind the moment it left his palm!

"Buzz, boom, boom!!"

Almost instantly, the star ring expanded downwards to a diameter of one kilometer.

In an instant, a wheel of judgment descended from the sky, resembling a gigantic particle accelerator ring.

It emitted destructive vibrations, casting its shadow over everything below!

The star ring is not a physical object falling; rather, the instant it forms, it generates an irresistible, terrifying directional pressure field and a violent tearing force!

The Ox-Demon, located right at the center of the star ring, was the first to be hit!

"Moo!!"

It let out a roar of pain and rage, its massive, fully-transformed body, as large as a mountain, crushed under the thousand-meter-long star ring.

It collapsed downwards suddenly, like putty being pressed down by an invisible giant hand!

The incredibly sturdy exoskeleton and muscles emitted a teeth-grinding twisting and cracking sound, and the massive body was crushed into a "flat" shape!

But this is just the beginning!

Because the rings are not stationary, but slowly rotating and flowing, like a millstone.

The demon at the very center was surrounded by a ring of stars, just like a planet. Not only was its body crushed, but it was also being violently pulled and twisted by a terrifying tearing force along with the direction of the rings!

At the same time, the high-frequency vibration penetrated its hard surface relentlessly, violently shaking and destroying its body!

From a distance, it looked as if a giant white ring was suppressing a prehistoric beast, forcibly twisting, stretching, and flattening its body—a truly awe-inspiring sight!

The land within the area covered by the star ring was as if it had been wiped away by an invisible force, and it instantly began to sink, forming a huge, smooth circular pit!

"Your Devil Fruit has awakened too???"

Satan Saint isn't stupid; the control and power he generates with this level of technique is something no ordinary Logia-type could achieve!

But Gern didn't answer; instead, he just watched silently...

.........

Meanwhile, far away on the other side of the Holy Land Mary Geoise, at the edge of the Red Line, at the upper entrance to the Sabaody Archipelago.

A fish-man with a headscarf, thick curly hair, a wide mouth, a full beard, and a few stubble stubbles on his upper lip.

Ignoring the almost vertical steep cliffs of the Red Earth, they climbed to the top with their bare hands!

He didn't know why the defense on this side was so weak; he only knew about that "Land of Saints."

The core area inhabited by the Celestial Dragons, the world's most noble people!

That place was once a hell where he and countless compatriots, and countless slaves, suffered endless torment and humiliation.

Tiger didn't think much of it, because he's always been a man of action!

So he took a deep breath, as if inhaling years of pent-up anger and hope into his lungs.

Then, facing that land that symbolized absolute power and oppression, he uttered a deep but powerful oath:

"The road to liberation begins now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiger didn't hesitate for a moment. His figure was like a tiger descending the mountain, charging towards the weakly defended "Land of the Saints" without looking back!

At this moment, the wheels of history turned for two different reasons.

Actions from different standpoints began to accelerate in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!

Chapter 334 A Two-Sided Attack

Inside the Hall of Power in Pangu City.

The smooth, mirror-like marble floor reflected the magnificent murals on the dome, but at this moment, a depressing and deathly atmosphere permeated the hall.

The other four of the Five Elders are: Marcus Maz, the Environmental Martial God; and Shepard X. Peter, the Agricultural Martial God.

Legal Martial God Topman Worchley Saint and Financial Martial God Izanbaron V. Nassshuro Saint

He stared, his face ashen, at the image transmitted from the special image Den Den Mushi in mid-air.

In the scene, the enormous bull demon that Jaigolusia Satan Saint transformed into is being firmly suppressed in the center of the deep pit by the massive "Heavenly Tremor Star Ring".

The terrifying high-frequency vibrations and tearing forces relentlessly eroded its indestructible awakened beast body.

The black mist's regeneration rate was clearly starting to lag behind the rate of destruction, and its massive body was becoming broken and flattened at a visible speed!

Even through the images, one can feel the powerlessness and rage in Satan's painful roar.

Unless there's a way to resist, the current Ox-Demon is, in other words, merely a relentless "millstone," even if it doesn't die.

This scene made the faces of the four elders extremely grim.

In particular, they knew that Satan Saint, as a scientific defensive war god, was powerful primarily because of his immortality.

While possessing uncanny abilities and technological prowess, direct combat is not its strongest suit.

Among the Five Elders, the one who truly excels in pure combat and is recognized as having the highest fighting strength is Izanbaron V. Nasujuro, who is the financial god of war and wields the first generation Kitetsu.

The fact that Satan was so suppressed and trapped in a cycle of destruction was something they had never anticipated.

Just then, Sengoku, who was standing to the side wearing a marshal's coat and a seagull hat, suddenly chuckled, breaking the suffocating silence.

"Hehe... If this continues, things might get complicated." His voice was calm, yet carried a hint of barely concealed amusement.

“If you gentlemen agree, I can go and negotiate with Gern now…”

This seemingly sarcastic suggestion was like a sharp thorn, piercing the hearts of the four elders.

Of course they knew Sengoku's purpose; this guy clearly wanted to use Gern to put pressure on them in exchange for greater say and bargaining power!

But ironically, they found themselves in a difficult predicament!

Seeing Sengoku's seemingly respectful but actually distant smile, the Five Elders' faces darkened even more, as if they could drip water, feeling as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed excrement.

Since the rise of Gern Reginald Sigma, this outlier admiral in the Navy, they have clearly felt...

The navy, this massive war machine, is becoming increasingly out of control.

Initially, it was Steel Bone Sky, which, although powerful, remained within the overall framework.

Therefore, they carefully supported Sengoku, who seemed to be the most shrewd, the most adept at maintaining balance, and the most inclined towards the interests of the World Government.

The original intention was both to counterbalance the increasingly unruly Gern and to better control the navy.

But now?

The Warring States period has changed too!

This scene before them vividly confirmed the maxim they had used to convince themselves and support Sengoku's rise to power in order to limit Gern.

Power is a good thing, but no one wants to share it.

Today, this truth has come back to hurl at them like a precise boomerang, striking them hard in the face!

Having tasted the power of the highest authority, he was no longer content to be merely a puppet marshal controlled by a remote authority.

He no longer wanted to "share" this power with them!

The incident that Gern caused became the perfect opportunity for him to bargain!

Izanbaron V. Nasujuro Sei silently placed his hand on the hilt of the first generation Kitetsu in his arms. A cold killing intent flashed by, but he slowly released it in the end.

Now is not the time.

The air in the hall seemed to freeze, with only the Satan Saint's unwilling roar and the humming of the star ring echoing in the images.

"Bru, bru, bru!" At that moment, a Den Den Mushi ring broke the oppressive silence.

Topman Worley, who was closest to the microphone, frowned and grabbed it.

Before he could even speak, a panicked voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

The urgent report, almost shattering in voice, was so loud that others in the hall could faintly hear it.

"No...something's wrong! The southern side of the Land of the Gods has been attacked! It's...it's that merman adventurer, Fisher Tiger!"

He...he broke through the weak defenses and is freeing all the slaves! The slaves...the slaves have all rioted!!!

Adults (Celestial Dragons)... Adults have suffered casualties and have nowhere to run!

"We urgently request the Knights of God or CP0 to provide support! Suppress the rebellion!!!"

"Click!" The report abruptly stopped, as if the other side had fallen into greater chaos, and communication was forced to be cut off.

But the content of the report was like another heavy hammer blow, striking the hearts of the four elders!

Their faces instantly changed from ashen to one of disbelief, shock, and fury!

"What?! Fisher Tiger?!" Shepard X. Peter exclaimed, "A merman dares to attack the Holy Land?!"

“Freeing slaves…riots…Celestial Dragon casualties…” Marcus Mazsan repeated these keywords, each one making his blood pressure soar.

With Gern, the Navy's strongest force, forcefully breaking in from the north, like a sharp dagger piercing the heart, even the incarnation of Satan, the Demon King, was suppressed to the point of no return.

Now, a murloc has taken advantage of the situation in the south and ignited the wildfire of a slave revolt!

The entire Land of Gods, the core residence of their world's nobles, has fallen into an unprecedented predicament of being attacked from both the north and south, and beset by internal and external troubles!

Most importantly, in order to stop the true tiger that is Gern, the Knights of God and the strongest elite of CP0 were almost all tied down on the northern defense line.

They simply couldn't spare any resources to go back and help deal with Tiger and the rioting slaves in the south!

Are we just going to stand by and watch those lowly slaves run rampant in their "land of the gods," even harming the noble Celestial Dragons?!

Almost instinctively, the four elders' gazes suddenly focused on Sengoku again!

Right now, it seems that the only force that can be quickly mobilized and has the capability to deal with the chaos in the south is the navy!

However, faced with four gazes filled with anxiety, command, and final expectation, Sengoku simply and silently... looked away.

I suddenly developed a strong interest in the murals on the dome of the Hall of Power.

He even leisurely adjusted the seagull hat on his head, then spoke in a calm tone that was indifferent, even somewhat detached.

"Fischer Tiger...has absolutely no connection to the Navy."

A single sentence, seemingly casual, extinguished the last embers of hope in the eyes of the Five Elders like ice water.

This also completely distanced him (and the Navy) from the matter.

At this moment, the Five Elders finally realized with absolute clarity that...

The navy, which they once thought was the sharpest blade, has completely slipped out of their control, and the tip of the blade has even begun to turn against them.

Chapter 335 Izanbaron V. Nassshuro Sei

The Warring States period's almost severing of ties was like the last straw, causing the atmosphere in the power hall to plummet to freezing point.
