"More More Fiftyfold Speed!!!"
He let out a sharp cry, and instantly channeled the power of his Devil Fruit throughout his entire body.
Previously, the maximum speed he could achieve was thirty times his normal pace. But now, facing such a life-or-death crisis and a moment of utter despair, his mastery of his ability had broken through its limits. He could now boost his speed by a full fifty times!!!
"I did it!!!"
Feeling his body become far lighter and more responsive, Byrnndi World knew that his speed had just increased by fifty times over its original level!
Thud!
Byrnndi World slammed his foot hard against the ground.
However, instead of charging toward El, he turned and fled in the opposite direction.
Even though he had pushed his More More Fruit ability to its absolute limit, granting him such incredible speed, he knew full well that he stood no chance of defeating El. Right now, there was only one thought in his mind:
Escape!
He intended to use this speed, which was nearly as fast as light itself, to flee the entire Kingdom of Drostland!!!
Byrnndi World's figure blurred, leaving behind dozens of afterimages across the space. In the blink of an eye, he had already moved hundreds of meters away.
"Trying to run???!"
Hovering high in the sky, El watched Byrnndi World's fleeing form with a cold smirk.
The previous Armored Susanoo – combining Susanoo with the Nine-Tails – possessed immense destructive power and nearly impenetrable defenses, but it was not particularly fast. However, El had now completely abandoned the physical form of the Nine-Tails.
Instead, he used Susanoo itself as the vessel, infusing it directly with the combined chakra of all nine Tailed Beasts. This new Ultimate Susanoo had cast aside all focus on defense, allowing it to reach speeds that defied all logic and reason!!!
Whoosh!!!
A sharp, thunderous roar echoed through the air, shaking the very fabric of space and tearing through the night sky.
In the blink of an eye, El controlled the Susanoo to travel nearly a full kilometer, appearing directly above Byrnndi World in an instant.
"H-How… how is this possible!!!"
Byrnndi World felt the terrifying aura closing in from behind and turned around, breaking out in a cold sweat all over his body.
He was currently moving at fifty times his normal speed – fast enough to cross hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye! Yet El had still managed to catch up to him easily, even at such superhuman speeds!
"This is my territory, Byrnndi World. You don't get to come and go as you please!"
"Indra's Arrow!!!"
This was the ultimate technique once unleashed by Uchiha Sasuke during the battle at the Valley of the End. It was the most powerful attack he had ever created, formed by drawing upon the combined chakra of all nine Tailed Beasts – a strike said to hold the power to destroy the entire world itself!
The lightning blade wielded by the Ultimate Susanoo transformed, taking the shape of a massive arrow forged entirely from crackling lightning energy.
This arrow was so large that it loomed even bigger than the Susanoo itself, stretching across and nearly covering the entire sky!
At this moment, all the natural energy and power of the world seemed to converge and focus upon this single bolt of lightning. A terrifying, overwhelming force radiated outward from the weapon.
Whoosh!!!
The massive arrow, forged from pure destructive lightning, shot forward like a meteor tearing through the heavens, flying straight toward Byrnndi World.
BOOM!!!
As the arrow struck the ground, a deafening explosion shook the earth.
The sound was so loud it threatened to rupture eardrums, and the shockwaves reverberated across every corner of the Kingdom of Drostland.
Violent, raging winds swept across the entire battlefield. Pirates who were standing too close were instantly swept up into the air by the gale, while others were killed instantly by the sheer force of the impact.
A thick cloud of gray dust and debris rose up, spreading outward until it nearly covered the entire sky above the kingdom.
As the clouds of dust slowly began to settle, everyone could clearly see what lay before them.
Directly beneath the Susanoo towering in the sky, a massive chasm stretched across the land – nearly a kilometer in length and so deep that its bottom could not be seen!!!
And Byrnndi World… was nowhere to be found.
It was almost certain that he had been struck down and killed instantly by Indra's Arrow.
"I only saw a few blurs and flashes of light, and then Captain Byrnndi World was gone! But that monster El summoned moved even faster, catching up to him as if it were nothing!!!"
"What was that technique just now? That massive arrow crackling with lightning power… its destructive force was simply unthinkable!"
"Captain Byrnndi World is dead for sure. There's no way he could have survived such an attack!"
"This is the true extent of El's power? Captain Byrnndi World is one of the most powerful pirates in the New World, with a bounty of 4.7 billion Berries, yet he couldn't even withstand a single strike from him!!!"
"And once he's done with Byrnndi World… we're next!!!"
Countless pirates stared in horror at the massive, gaping chasm, their minds reeling with shock that words could not describe.
By now, their entire beings were consumed by fear and disbelief. If a great pirate as powerful as Byrnndi World could be eliminated in a single blow, what chance did they stand – pirates whose bounties barely exceeded eighty million Berries???
...
Hovering high in the air, El activated his Observation Haki to sense the area below and search the depths of the massive chasm.
He could not detect even the faintest trace of life force remaining.
"So you're already dead, Byrnndi World."
Byrnndi World's speed was indeed impressive, but the form El currently wielded was far faster still. There had been no possible way for him to dodge Indra's Arrow.
To take a direct hit from the Ultimate Susanoo, empowered by the combined might of all nine Tailed Beasts and striking with full force… survival was simply impossible!!!
After dealing with Byrnndi World, El immediately returned to his original position.
However, he realized at once that he could no longer sense the presence of Patrick Redfield anywhere nearby.
"So you managed to escape after all, Patrick Redfield."
In the brief moment El had turned away to pursue Byrnndi World, Patrick Redfield had seized his chance without the slightest hesitation and successfully fled beyond the borders of the Kingdom of Drostland.
Even so, El made no move to give chase. As long as Patrick Redfield remained somewhere upon these vast seas, El knew he would eventually find another opportunity to end his life.
...
On the other side of the battlefield...
"Oh? Your battle is already over, El! It seems I should also bring things to a swift conclusion with the remaining two here."
Rocks held the severed head of John in one hand and glanced toward El with a faint smile on his face.
He showed no surprise whatsoever regarding El's immense strength. After all, when he had first been resurrected, he had already crossed blades with El's complete Six Paths Sage form!!!
"ROCKS!!!"
Ochoku and Kyo – the only two still left alive – gasped for breath, their faces twisted with rage and hatred as they glared at Rocks.
Though they had fought with reckless abandon, completely throwing aside all thoughts of defense and launching relentless attacks one after another, the gap in power between them was far too vast to be overcome even by their willingness to die.
Rocks was simply too powerful. John was already dead by his hand, and Ochoku and Kyo themselves were now grievously wounded and on the brink of collapse.
In contrast, Rocks bore only a few visible, deep, and jagged cuts across his body. To someone of his strength, such injuries were nothing more than superficial scratches – they would not hinder him or affect his combat ability in the slightest.
