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

It slid out of Van Augur's chest on its own, turned into a streak of light and flew back, landing in Gern's right hand that he had extended again!

At the same time, Shiryu on the right had already pounced!

The first generation Kitetsu was merely a weapon in his hands, so he naturally swung it down with all his might, fiercely slashing at Gern's head!

"clang!!!"

Without dodging or avoiding, Gern gripped the "Eight Desolations" sword that had just flown back and used the side of the blade to take Shiliu's powerful blow head-on!

The ground collapsed!

Immediately afterwards, Gern twisted his waist

His strength was so great that even the white-bearded man who first met him back then had to praise him.

Therefore, in the power struggle between the two sides, Gern easily gained the upper hand.

He immediately stood up, and taking advantage of the moment when Shiryu's hands were wide open while he was blocking, he kicked out with his left leg!

"Black Shock·Kick!"

"boom!!!"

This kick landed squarely on Shiryu's unsuspecting lower back and abdomen!

The compressed vibration force instantly exploded within his body!

Shiliu let out a miserable howl as he was kicked and sent flying, rolling like a gourd into a pile of rubble, unable to get up for a while!

.......

Just as Gern kicked Shiryu away, a torrent of fire spewed from the sky by Itsumade (Mazsei) was launched!

But Gern didn't even look up. He flicked his right wrist, which was holding the knife, and used the momentum to send "Eight Desolations" from bottom to top with a sharp upward slash!

"Heavenly Tremor - Cloud Slash!"

A massive crescent-shaped shockwave rose against the sky.

The flames were forcefully cleaved in two, their momentum undiminished.

Following the trajectory of the flames upwards, it slashed fiercely at Itsumade (Mazsei)'s massive bird body!

"Screech!!!" Maz Saint let out a bloodcurdling scream.

The wounds on his chest and abdomen that had just healed were torn open again, and he was slashed and cleaved upwards, losing his balance!

........

On the ground, Gern's movements didn't pause for a moment; the instant his upward slash was unleashed...

He is a user of the Skyquake ability.

In addition, being a Logia-type user, he is extremely sensitive to vibrations related to his elemental abilities.

Sheathed the sword directly, leaped into the air, and turned the tip of the blade.

Aim at the slightly trembling ground beneath your feet and stab downwards with all your might!

The tip of the Eight Desolations Blade easily pierced through the thick strata of earth, and just pierced the center of the tortoise head of the sand worm (Pete Saint) that was preparing to break through the ground and launch a surprise attack from below!

The instant the blade pierced his body, Gern twisted his grip on the knife sharply.

"Heavenly Tremor, Earthly Strike, Eight Directions Suppression!"

An eight-directional, radiating torrent of vibration erupted with a roar, originating from the tip of the knife!

Centered on the ground beneath Gern's feet, the ground within a radius of 100 meters rises and unfolds in a perfect petal shape!

For example, a flower in full bloom!

The sand worm (Pite Saint) hiding underground didn't even manage to scream, let alone emerge.

However, Gern didn't even pull the "Eight Desolations" out of the ground.

The blade remained embedded in the sandworm, suppressed by Conqueror's Haki.

At the very instant that Maz Saint was struck by the slash, screamed in agony, and rolled uncontrollably, I kicked off with my feet!

"Shockwave!!"

Without warning, he appeared in mid-air in front of Itsumade (Mazsei)!

"I told you not to spew nonsense!!!"

With a roar, Gern reached out with both hands, his left hand gripping the upper beak and his right hand gripping the lower beak!

Meanwhile, among the four remaining gray-white star rings in the sky

Two more beams of light suddenly shone brightly and rapidly collapsed inward into Gern's arms!

"Boom!!!"

Gern's arms were instantly engulfed by white light, his muscles bulged to their limit, and dark purple Conqueror's Haki wrapped around them!

Power! Ultimate power!

It combines the energy of the star ring with the ultimate Conqueror's Haki, possessing absolute violence capable of tearing mountains apart!

"Open it for me!!!!!"

Gern's eyes widened, and his core muscles and arm muscles worked together to explode!

Using his bare hands, he forcefully subdued Itsumade (Mazsei).

Along with its connected neck and part of the head

Like tearing a rag, it was ripped in two along the center line!

Maz Saint's screams came to an abrupt halt, his remaining consciousness instantly overwhelmed by excruciating pain and death!

With one hand grasping half of the enormous, still-dripping, bird's beak and the connected broken head and neck, Guern slowly floated down from the sky.

The landing point was exactly where he rolled back to the edge of the battlefield.

Not far in front of Blackbeard, who was just about to do something.

Gern slowly raised his head, his face, stained with a little dirt, expressionless, and coldly looked at Blackbeard.

With a casual flick of his hands, he tossed aside the two enormous halves of the remains belonging to Itsumade (Mazsei).

With two "plop" sounds, it was thrown into the dust at Blackbeard's feet.

The wreckage was still twitching slightly, emitting a strong stench of blood.

Blackbeard looked at the horrific wreckage at his feet, then looked up at the man before him who had torn apart the Five Elders with his bare hands, yet whose aura remained calm and composed...

The pitiful courage and ruthlessness he had just been forced to muster by Im vanished without a trace in an instant!

The toothless mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

"Fuck your mother..."

I just wanted to run away, why, why.....

Why is it so difficult...?

Why the hell did I come to this island?! Why did I even come to this island?!

They kept cursing and swearing...

Blackbeard, driven mad by fear from both Gern and the World Government, was completely overwhelmed by their combined power.

Finally, he just shouted it out!

"Aaaaaaah!!! Why?!"

"Why did I come here?! Waaaaaah!!"

Chapter 709 Giant Soldier Pirate Crew!

Meanwhile, on the edge of Egherd Island, near the coastline.

A large naval warship with most of its markings removed, its lines sleek and streamlined.

It is quietly anchored on the sea a little further away.

This is the warship that Gern, Hawkeye, Kizaru, and Enel arrived on.

At this time, they were ordered to remain here and not to approach the war-torn island easily.

The naval soldiers on deck remained on high alert, their eyes scanning the sea and the direction of the islands with intense tension.

Terrifying tremors, towering flames, and turbulent energy currents emanated from the distant island's interior.

And that chilling, multi-layered pressure served as a constant reminder to them.

What a thrilling battle is unfolding on that island!

Suddenly, a naval soldier responsible for observing the sea pointed to the distant sea fog and asked in surprise...

"Look! The sea... the movement is strange! It looks like something's getting closer!"

"Hmm?" The companion next to him narrowed his eyes: "Could it be a remnant of the artificial sea monster created by Dr. Vegapunk on the island? After all, this is his territory."

"Impossible!" a sergeant categorically denied.

Before Lord Mihawk and Admiral Enel landed on the island

He personally took action and cleaned up all the mechanical sea monsters detected in the nearby waters!

I saw it with my own eyes!

Just as the navy was filled with doubt and speculation...

"Lookout report!!"

From the lookout tower atop the mast, a soldier's voice, trembling with fear, came through the loudspeaker:

"It's not a sea monster! It's...it's a ship!!"

"What huge ships!! And more than one!! They're emerging from the sea fog!!"

The sailors on deck were startled and rushed to the ship's side, raising their binoculars to look in the direction of the sea fog.

In the hazy sea mist, several massive, ruggedly shaped formations, each comparable in size to a small mountain, could be seen.

A massive ship, with an ancient style, is slowly sailing out, cutting through the waves!

These ships are far larger than regular warships, even several times larger than the Navy's largest Buster Call warship!

The ship's hull was covered with primitive totems and battle patterns, and the flags fluttering on the sails made even some well-informed generals turn pale instantly!

“That…that flag…”

A middle-aged general, his voice trembling, pointed to the flag depicting two giants clashing against each other through his binoculars and murmured...

"It's the 'Giant Warrior Pirates'?! The legendary Giant Warrior Pirates that disappeared a hundred years ago, led by two giant captains?!"

"They...they disappeared a long time ago! Why are they here?!"

The legend of the Giant Warrior Pirates is no secret among the high-ranking officers of the Navy.

That was a terrifying force that once roamed the Grand Line, led by two legendary giant warriors, "Blue Oni" Dorry and "Red Oni" Brogy!

Later, due to some reason, they fought a duel in the small garden for a hundred years, gradually fading from people's sight, and were thought to have disbanded or disappeared.

At this moment, this legendary pirate crew has appeared in the Eghard Sea!

This sudden turn of events put unprecedented pressure and panic on the sailors aboard the warship!

……

On the giant pirate ship at the head of the fleet, "Blue Oni" Dorry and "Red Oni" Brogy stood side by side at the bow.

They naturally also saw the lone naval warship in the distance.

Dorry scratched his huge chin. "They've started fighting, Brogy!"

Exactly the same commotion as in the newspapers! It must be incredibly lively on the island!

Brogy, carrying his massive axe as big as a door, grinned widely and let out a "crackling" laugh:

"Yeah, Dorry! Luffy is definitely causing a huge ruckus inside!"

Having said that, Brogy stepped forward, carrying his axe.
