In the battlefield,
Shanks held his sword with one hand, the tip of Griffin pointing at Satan Saint. His sharp, eagle-like eyes showed no retreat, only a calm, sea-like determination with surging undercurrents of battle intent.
His Haoshoku no Haki was no longer overtly displayed but highly restrained, like a taut bowstring, concentrated on his sword and around his body, forming an invisible "absolute domain."
"Satan Saint," Red Hair's voice was calm, yet carried the resolve to cut through everything. "Since you have cast aside your disguise and personally stepped onto this battlefield... then today, let's bring this to an end."
As soon as these words were uttered, it was as if a public declaration of war against the highest authority had been made, and the air solidified.
"Stubborn fool..." Satan Saint's inhuman face showed no emotion, only an indifference and murderous intent, as if looking down on ants.
The hollow pain from his severed leg still lingered, deepening his resolve.
"Since you insist on seeking death with the will of 'D', then today, all of you—"
His giant spider compound eyes swept over Shanks, the heavily injured but still threatening Kaido, and the faint auras of other powerhouses in the distance. His voice was like a cold wind from the depths of the underworld,
"—will all remain here! Your blood shall reshape the world's reverence!"
Before his words even finished, a sudden change occurred!
Buzz—Buzz, buzz, buzz—!
Centered around Satan Saint's massive body, several colossal and intricate magic arrays appeared in the surrounding void without any warning!
These magic arrays were not composed of any known energy; they displayed an extreme, light-devouring blackness, with dark purple, evil light flowing along their edges, emitting an ominous aura that made souls tremble!
"What... what is that?!" Even the most experienced top powerhouses changed their expressions at this sight.
That was not the fluctuation of a Devil Fruit ability, but a more ancient, more fundamental summons of rules!
Under the gaze of everyone, who were too shocked to speak, the space in the center of those black magic arrays twisted and tore violently like ripples on water!
Immediately after, four colossal figures, each exuding terrifying power that seemed utterly out of place with the entire world, stepped out from the dark vortex!
One was dressed in judge-like attire, holding a cursed sword, with eyes as sharp as blades.
One wore a flat hat, had a thick beard, and was built as robustly as a mountain.
One had a twirly mustache and hair reaching the ground, possessing an extraordinary demeanor.
One had curly hair and a long beard, holding a scripture, with eyes as indifferent as a deity.
Adding the already present Science Defense God — Satan Saint,
The wielders of the world's highest authority, the Gorosei — had all descended!
Five terrifying auras, capable of distorting reality and shaking rules, intertwined, pressing down on the entire battlefield like an invisible sky. The sky instantly darkened, the sea fell silent; at this moment, it seemed as if the entire world trembled under the wrath of the five "gods"!
True despair had just begun.
Dead silence.
When those five figures, symbolizing the World Government's highest authority and exuding a tangible rule-based pressure,
Completely occupied the entire battlefield's view like five ancient, eternal divine mountains, an unprecedented, soul-freezing chill instantly swept through the hearts of everyone present.
"Are you... kidding me—!!!"
