White hair like flames, burning fiercely, just appearing there, half the sky was enveloped in dark clouds, the wind howled, and torrential rain poured down.
Outside the breach, people were fighting, but inside the breach, not a single Disaster Pirate was beside Sage, surrounded only by enemies, fierce and malevolent, tightly gripping their weapons, yet they seemed frozen, allowing the wind and rain to buffet them.
Step...
In this stillness, Sage took a step forward, making a sound.
With just this one step, the surrounding people all swallowed in unison, instinctively retreating a step.
Sage stepped forward several steps, and they retreated several steps, the size of the breach created by the impact remained unchanged, like a forbidden area, no one dared to cross half a step.
They only hoped to avoid approaching this predetermined blank area, lest they attract the attention of this most notorious Pirate.
But sometimes, even if ants deliberately avoid danger, they may still be inadvertently crushed to death.
Let alone a deliberate stomp.
Sage stepped forward again, not making a move, but only glaring at the people around.
In those eyes, a crimson glow emerged.
Boom!!!
Just one look, all who faced Sage had their heads explode under that gaze, as if each had grabbed a cannon to welcome Sage's arrival, the cannons flew, but they were blood-red.
Boom!
Boom boom boom!!
The sound of explosions continued, from front to back, from left to right, many of those who stared at Sage, each grabbed their own neck, unable to breathe, turned the 'cannon' switch with their hands, causing their heads to explode, blooming fireworks.
After a series of explosions, finally someone reacted, hurriedly bowed their head and shouted: "Don't look at him!!"
"Do not raise your head, this guy... is a demon!!"
This has already transcended the category of 'human', there are always powerful individuals imprisoned in Impel Down, some even competed with the strong in earlier years, only to fail, but no matter which existence they faced, Sage had already transcended their imagination.
Their Haki could withstand Sage's gaze, but the more it did, the more fearful they became.
Because just those eyes, even without calling it a confrontation, just being stared directly at, they felt intense pain in their head; without Haki to repel it in time, they would probably have exploded like those others.
Is this a technique humans can use?
Even in Impel Down, they could hear some news, especially those who were not in low positions of strength.
Calamity Sage... Since entering the Grand Line, has always been a More-More Fruit Ability User, that 'World Destroyer' fruit ability, such a power doesn't exist to make people explode at a glance.
But now it just happened!
Just one look and they couldn't stop it, could only barely resist...
Is the gap that large!
"Not looking at me? Heh heh heh, what's the use of not looking at me, as long as I want..."
Sage surveyed those who bowed their heads, like people not daring to face their natural enemy, with a sinister smile, "Taking care of you is very simple!"
The crimson in his eyes was obviously more intense than before.
Press down!
Boom boom boom!!
This time, those who barely resisted also had their heads explode, falling to the ground, offering their lives for beautiful fireworks.
The breach around Sage grew larger, while those further away couldn't even lower their heads but only kneel to the ground under this pressure, trembling.
Aside from the fear of death and the panic of unknown power, there was only powerlessness.
Outside the breach, only sparse crowds could still kneel on the ground, while more headless corpses lay beside them.
Satan's Fierce Eye from the Five Elders, Sage had mastered.
As a member of the Sage family, though he didn't possess such power, using Supreme King simply to convert it was something Sage was quite adept at.
So simple, it didn't even require an exemption determination; it's not an ability, just given enough Haki can repel it, at most feeling a headache.
This is pure Supreme King, capable of repelling is no matter, just increase it slightly.
Supreme King intimidation?
That kind of 'mercy' is not for these guys.
Moreover...
"Oh? Some fellows are quite good, but are ultimately the discarded ones, not even passing Teach's first selection, kneeling here now, don't think of escaping with your lives..."
Sage raised a hand to the sky, "In the end, it's the path you chose, regardless of hearing my fame or not, on such a battlefield, already driven by greed, wanting to rule the world, you must pay the price, if unwilling to give even life, then the will can't be carried out."
The clouds in the sky became darker, oppressively dark, pressing everyone to the point of almost suffocating, what should have been a bright sky had long become a lightless dark place, oppressive even more than night.
"I am kind-hearted, so I let you carry out the will, with your desire and life's cost, leave a beautiful name on the sea. Lest people at sea say we Pirates are greedy cowards afraid to die! Heaven full!"
Boom!
The dark clouds flashed with lightning, striking down upon the G1 Fortress.
But it was only stunned for a moment, the entire sky and the entire fortress quieted instantly, no sound arose.
Kneeling people, facing Sage in the center of the crowd, hair glowing in the darkness, were like sinners faced with divine judgment.
