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

As expected, the World Government, or rather Im, reacted quickly and decisively!

The plans of Wano Country are important, but compared to the "Mother Spark" that could potentially change the world order and a direct conflict with the World Government...

Everyone must step aside immediately!

Without the slightest hesitation!

With her right hand gripping Momonosuke's neck, she suddenly tossed him upwards, flinging his small, nearly suffocating body high into the air like a piece of trash!

Almost at the same time

"Clang—Buzz!!!"

The black sword, Bahuang, wrapped in bandages, has been drawn!

Gern didn't even look at Momonosuke falling through the air; he simply relied on his senses and flicked his wrist.

He swung a horizontal slash at Momonosuke's waist and abdomen!

"Shh!"

The blade flashed, drawing a thin line, and instantly swept across Momonosuke's body!

There was no earth-shattering sound, only the soft sound of a sharp blade cutting through something.

Followed by.

"Pfft!"

Momonosuke, now split in two, fell heavily onto the rubble not far away, his two severed bodies accompanied by splattered blood, and remained silent.

Without even glancing at the bloody scene, Gern sheathed the Eight Desolations Blade with a backhand motion, instantly shaking off the bloodstains on its blade into a mist of blood.

His face was expressionless, only uttering two cold sentences.

"go!"

"problem occurs!"

..........

Almost simultaneously, in the New World, at Base G-10.

Outside a specially constructed, heavily guarded storage laboratory located deep within the base, temporarily built for the safe relocation and sealing of the "mother spark".

Three figures dressed in pure white uniforms appeared silently at the entrance.

It was a CP0 agent.

Rob Lucci, Kaku, and the unusually tall Maha.

Lucky's sharp gaze, hidden beneath his owl mask, swept across the clearly newly built laboratory building before him, his voice emanating from beneath the mask.

"Mission clear: Confirm the target, then... completely destroy this device."

“Lucci…” At this moment, the usually composed Kaku became somewhat uneasy, looking around at the military fortress belonging to the core forces of “Skyquake” Gern.

"This is, after all, G-10, the headquarters of 'Natural Disaster'."

"Isn't it too risky for us to infiltrate like this?"

“No,” was Maha’s reply.

Maha, holding the wooden mask in one hand, turned slightly towards Kaku, his voice deep and resonant.

"Tianzhen Guern himself is currently in Dressrosa."

Enel, one of his main combat forces, has been confirmed to be traveling with him.

Hawkeye Mihawk goes out

'Devil' Barrett and his two companions are escorting 'Mother Flame' to G-10

Midway through their journey, the Knights of God and the newly promoted 'Green Bull' general went to 'greet' them.

He paused, then turned his mask toward the tallest building in the center of the base, the one that belonged to Gern, his voice taking on a serious tone.

"If I had to pinpoint who our biggest problem on this trip was..."

Maha didn't finish his sentence.

A cold voice rang out

"Excuse me, it seems you've come to the wrong place."

Tesoro, who had put away his Den Den Mushi in front of what was originally Gern's office building, coldly watched the three of them.

At the same time, the next moment

"!!!"

Lucci's Observation Haki gave a warning the instant the sound rang out!

Almost simultaneously, the three reacted in perfect unison, suddenly dodging to the side in three different directions!

"Shh!"

A sharp slash grazed the spot where they had been standing, cutting a smooth gash in the ground!

The three, still shaken, steadied themselves and turned to look.

Behind them, a tall figure had appeared and stood there.

With an impressive height of nearly 1.9 meters, a breathtakingly curvaceous figure, and long, fiery orange hair...

Her hair was carefully styled into an updo, with bangs falling across her forehead to perfectly cover her right eye.

His exposed left eye was pure black, with a slender and delicate corner, yet it now contained a chilling killing intent.

The long sword in his hand was already drawn, its blade reflecting a cold glint in the sunlight.

Torritoma coldly swept his gaze over the three CP0s, his red lips slightly parted.

"While my man is away...you guys are really bold!"

Lucci suppressed the last trace of surprise on his face and quickly assessed his opponent.

"Gern's core 'Cataclysmic' member... 'Gold' Gild Tesoro, and..."

His gaze shifted to the tall woman standing there, holding a knife, exuding an imposing aura.

"Former 'Snake Queen', Toritoma."

Having confirmed his identity, Lucci did not back down; instead, he let out a confident chuckle.

"Heh... But compared to 'gods' and 'demons,' there's also the world's greatest swordsman..."

"The two of you staying behind will make things much easier."

His gaze was particularly fixed on Tesoro, and the murderous intent in his tone was undisguised:

"Especially you, Gilder Tezzolo..."

"The second-in-command of 'Skyquake,' Gern's moneybag and chief internal affairs officer."

"Worth killing."

Chapter 563 'Attack' (Part Two)

"is it?"

Tesoro did not get angry in the face of Lucci's provocation.

Instead, it was as if he had heard a funny joke; he clapped gracefully, his smile undiminished.

"Then let me, the 'money bag,' properly 'entertain' the world government's top agent."

The moment the words fell

Centered on Tesoro's feet, gold seeped from the ground beneath his feet and in the surrounding area.

In the blink of an eye, dazzling golden ripples began to appear, and then quickly liquefied!

The viscous, luxuriously lustrous liquid gold tide spread instantly, covering almost half of the area!

Immediately afterwards, Tezzolo gracefully raised his hands to the sides.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang—!!!"

As he moved, countless sharp protrusions suddenly rose from the surrounding liquid gold, solidifying and taking shape in an instant!

Transformed into countless golden weapons of various shapes

Spears, greatswords, battle axes, arrows, and even giant drills!

Densely packed and suspended in mid-air, all pointing towards Lucci and his companions, it resembled a deadly treasure trove prepared by an emperor, ready to be unleashed at any moment!

(The visual effect is similar to the opening of Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon, but the material is dazzling and heavy gold, creating an even stronger sense of oppression!)

"Welcome to my 'Golden Theater,' everyone from CP0."

"The tickets are very expensive; you'll have to pay with your lives."

At the same time, Toritoma on the other side also moved, slowly raising the long sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointing at Kaku and Maha.

"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving." Her voice was cold. "Clean you up before my man comes back; it'll be a perfect gift."

Lucci, Kaku, and Maha instantly tensed up.

Lucci and Kaku let out a low growl, their bodies began to swell, and their Zoan-type Awakening forms instantly appeared!

.........

The battle between G-10 is about to begin.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the atmosphere was completely different on the warship carrying the core sample of the "mother spark" on its way back to G-10.

Inside the cabin, Libo sat cross-legged in unusual quiet, her ears twitching slightly.

She listened intently as Bartholomew Xiong read aloud a book about the customs and traditions of various places.

Bear carefully turned the pages with his gloved hands, his expression as calm as ever, as if this were just an ordinary voyage.

At the bow of the warship, Douglas Barrett stood like a black iron tower, arms crossed, in the sea breeze.

His eyes scanned the sea and sky ahead, not missing a single abnormality.

An intense sense of oppression emanated from him, making all the marines on the warship feel at ease, yet they dared not approach.

Soon, as planned, the warship sailed into a remote island harbor used for short-term resupply and slowly docked.

Just as the ship's hull made contact with the dock, producing a slight collision sound...

"Um?!"

Barrett's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints at the bow of the ship!

A beast-like fighting instinct and top-tier Observation Haki issued a warning!

The danger doesn't come from ahead, but from...

Behind you!

Before he could even turn around completely, he only had time to quickly cross his arms, covered in dark armor color, in front of him to protect himself!

"Bang!!!!!"

A dull, loud bang exploded!

A large foot wrapped in Armament Haki landed solidly on Barrett's hastily blocking arms!

The man was kicked so hard from the bow of the warship that he flew backward off the ship.

It crashed violently onto the island's beach dozens of meters away, carving a deep trench in the soft ground and stirring up clouds of dust!

"Oh dear..." A voice, tinged with surprise but more amused, rang out.

A figure slowly descended from where Barrett had been standing and landed on the railing of the warship.

He was a muscular old man with a face covered in deep wrinkles and a prominent bulbous nose.

He had a bushy body hair, long orange-yellow curly hair tied back in braids, and a beard below his mouth that was carefully trimmed into a cross shape.

After making the sarcastic remarks, he even stretched his right foot, which had just kicked Barrett away.

It was none other than Saint Somaz of the Shepard family, a member of the Knights of God!
