Chapter 407: Chapter 407: The Five Elders Descend
Chapter 407: The Five Elders Descend
Reiner raised his right arm, and bone spikes grew out, quickly constructing a ferocious bone dragon. It opened its fangs and faced the Garp in the air, its mouth condensing thunder and flame, continuously compressing.
And at this moment.
Akainu, who was fighting the Seraphim along with Luffy, saw this scene and immediately turned his head. His feet erupted with magma as he flew towards Reiner.
This chaotic battle was already not in their favor. Once Sengoku and Garp fell, the tide of the battle would instantly turn.
Even if we are to be defeated, at least we must take one of them down!
Akainu’s eyes were cold. His entire body transformed into a flowing, humanoid magma. His magma arm swelled violently, and he spewed out dozens, even hundreds, of balls of magma.
"Rengoku Kōshin!!" (Purgatory March!!)
One after another, the balls of magma wriggled rapidly in the air, gradually transforming into ferocious red soldiers that pounced at Reiner.
Detecting the attack from the side, Reiner immediately waved his hand, and the bone dragon whipped its head around and roared!
"Rai-en no Netsuiki!!" (Thunderflame Boro Breath!!)
Swish!!
A violent thunder wreathed in scorching flames. A beam of red and blue intertwined breath pierced through space, sweeping from left to right and mercilessly engulfing all the charging magma soldiers!
Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!
One after another, explosions bloomed in the air with violent firelight. Smoke and gunpowder, along with a churning wind pressure, blasted out.
In the rear, the moment Akainu broke free, Luffy had pushed back two Seraphim in a few moves, and then, grabbing S-Bat’s leg, he spun on the spot like a white top.
"Gomu Gomu no: White Bowling Ball!!"
Swish!!
Using the powerful centrifugal force, Luffy laughed loudly and threw the Seraphim with all his might.
Bang!!
The speeding S-Bat, like a human cannonball, crashed heavily into Akainu from behind, and together they smashed into a building, kicking up dust and smoke.
"Woohoo! Ahahaha! A direct hit!"
Luffy raised his hand to look, and seeing this scene, he immediately raised his fists and jumped up excitedly.
"You bastard...!"
Akainu, lying in the ruins, gritted his teeth. Scarlet blood squeezed out from between his stark white teeth.
At his side, S-Bat was pressed under a giant rock, motionless. Its body was sparking with arcs of electricity. Judging from its injuries, there were no particularly serious wounds.
But the Seraphim were still young. Their bodies seemed to be unable to withstand such a fierce battle and had already entered an overloaded state.
There were still two left. They probably couldn’t last much longer either...
Akainu gritted his teeth and glared at the cheeky Luffy.
This playful way of fighting... yet he had no way of dealing with him. It was infuriating.
"And now... iya-hahaha!"
Luffy laughed loudly, flipped over, and jumped onto a television tower. The moment his two feet stepped on the outer wall, the surface of this columnar building rippled like a wave and then caved in.
"Watch this!"
Duang~~
The fully charged elasticity bounced back and was transmitted to Luffy’s feet, sending his entire person flying out at high speed, his target straight for Akainu!
"Gomu Gomu no!"
Luffy put his left hand on his right shoulder and swung his right arm in a circle from back to front. Just as he was about to punch out, a burly figure suddenly jumped up from below.
"Grandpa? Ahahaha! So you’re not down yet."
"This old one is not that fragile! This level is still a long way off!"
Garp’s smile was ferocious. His fist was by his waist as he shot up like a rocket, wreathed in powerful Conqueror’s Haki as he delivered an uppercut.
"Fist Bone: Rocket!!"
"White Tomahawk!!"
Faced with this swift and fierce punch, Luffy was still cheeky. He stopped his hand and instead, raised his right leg high and violently chopped down at Garp’s fist!
Bang!!!
A circle of violent wind pressure exploded from the sky. Luffy’s heel and Garp’s fist, one high and one low, fiercely collided, and countless dark red lightning bolts were sparked from between them.
At the same time, in the street below.
Bang!
Pushing aside a giant wall, Sengoku, his bare upper body covered in blood, stood out from the ruins.
His body was covered in scorched black cuts. His face was covered in blood. He clutched his bleeding shoulder, his right arm hanging limply. His figure was extremely pathetic.
"Haha..."
Sengoku panted heavily, his brow furrowed, his expression grave as he looked at the battlefield.
Under the terrifying, point-blank explosion just now, even with the powerful constitution granted by his Zoan fruit, his body had been unavoidably heavily injured.
After he was gone, in just a short moment, the situation had begun to tilt in the other’s favor.
He still had stamina, but his heavily injured body was already finding it difficult to support him in battle.
Garp had also suffered quite a few injuries. He probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.
He glanced at the situation on the field, and Sengoku gritted his teeth, his fists clenched with unwillingness.
The result of this battle was already faintly showing.
Just then.
A crack suddenly appeared in the space beside him. Sengoku looked over in surprise and saw an air door suddenly open, revealing several figures inside.
"CP0?"
"Grand Inspector Sengoku."
Kaku nodded and addressed Sengoku’s current post. He jumped out of the space door and said in a low voice:
"The Five Elders have given an order. All Marines below the rank of commodore are to withdraw from the island."
"Withdrawal of those below commodore...?"
Sengoku frowned.
Before he could react, he heard shocking words from Kaku’s mouth.
"The Five Elders are about to descend on Egghead. Those below the rank of commodore are not permitted to look."
Rumble!!
A clap of thunder split the mountains. The dark heaven and earth were lit up for a moment, illuminating Sengoku’s changed face.
The dark clouds in the sky churned madly, and the lightning within also became more and more violent. The rain gradually became as large as beans, turning into a downpour.
"All troops, on my command!!"
A majestic shout echoed over the city. All the Marines who heard the voice paused in their movements and turned their heads to look.
Sengoku stood on a tall building, his "Justice" cape fluttering behind him. He shouted with a loud voice:
"Change of plans! All soldiers below the rank of commodore, withdraw immediately! Surround the island with the warships! Move immediately!"
"This?!"
"Do we have this battle plan?"
Hearing this command, all the soldiers were first stunned, their faces a little confused.
But soon, some of the officers took the lead and acted.
"Don’t worry about that!"
"Follow the command! Retreat!"
"Yes, sir!"
After a few seconds of hesitation, the large number of Marines scattered all over the island all carried out the command, quickly disengaging from the battle and retreating.
In an instant, the streets and alleys seemed to converge into a white wave, and like an ebbing tide, it surged out of the city.
Seeing this, Usopp’s expression was astonished.
"What’s going on?! Are the Marines retreating?"
"It doesn’t seem to be the case."
Chopper looked at the vice admirals and rear admirals who had remained behind, a vague sense of unease in his heart.
With the withdrawal of the soldiers, the city center, which had just been filled with the roar of cannon fire, suddenly became quiet.
After a few seconds of silence.
A great wind suddenly arose in the sky. The dense dark clouds also began to churn even more madly. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. The sky seemed as if it had exploded.
"Hey, hey, hey! What’s going on?"
Seeing this, Franky, in the cockpit of his mech, couldn’t help but frown.
Rumble!!
Almost at the same time, several thick bolts of lightning chopped down from the clouds to the earth.
Five ominous and powerful presences instantly descended on the island!
