"It's here!"
Juba, sitting among the gathered pirates, suddenly spoke, and immediately, everyone became alert.
Even if Whitebeard didn't say anything, they could feel it, because the distant sky was turning dark, incredibly dark. It was as if the clouds in the sky had been dyed pitch black, and within the dense darkness, an immensely oppressive force emanated.
A kind of chaos and madness seeped from it, sending shivers down the spine.
On the other side of Juba, the gathered Marines also noticed this change.
"The fate of this world is now in our hands."
At this moment, Raijin had returned to the Marines' side because the civilians had already been evacuated, and there was no need to constantly watch the pirates.
His words left others somewhat silent. He was right; if they failed, the world would be doomed.
There was no one left to confront Aatrox...
Neither in terms of quality nor quantity. The world's top experts had gathered, and from now on, there would never be such a luxurious assembly of strength.
Their battle would be unprecedented...
Suddenly, they all tensed, muscles tightening.
Because they felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them. The pressure that could only come from Aatrox, and no one else in the world.
Boom!
Suddenly, a figure was blasted from afar, crashing through several buildings until Rayleigh caught him and finally stopped.
"Gurgle, Roger, you look really miserable." Whitebeard laughed at Roger, who was caught by Rayleigh.
Although he was laughing, he was also amazed at Roger's strength. He knew Aatrox's power very well. Many of them had been easily trampled by Aatrox, and now Roger was engaging in a fight with him alone and hadn't died yet.
He had indeed surpassed his past self...
And Kapu in the distance also saw this scene, but he paid more attention to the front.
Because, the Demon King had arrived.
"So, the mice have gathered."
Aatrox's enormous body appeared in Juba. Even the houses couldn't compare to his height, and the power emanating from his body was terrifying. Everyone, whether they had faced him before or were seeing him for the first time, felt a deep terror at this moment.
"However, it's good. Because those who see me as an enemy, I always accept!"
Aatrox shouted, "I will extinguish the light and create eternal darkness!"
"Eternal darkness is where a demon like you should belong, but not ours!" Raijin was the first to attack. He raised both hands, and in the next moment, a huge thunderstorm appeared in the dark clouds.
"Thunder Greet!"
Rumble, the immense power of thunder intertwined into a huge sphere, a force capable of directly destroying a huge city. At this moment, it descended from the sky, just to destroy a demon.
Facing a demon, there was nothing to say. Raijin's action mobilized everyone. There was no weak person present; even the weakest one, when on the sea, could become a renowned expert. At this moment, they unprecedentedly joined hands because the enemy was such a powerful demon.
Thunder struck, a huge light Buddha emerged as Rai, with the intention of washing away Aatrox's resentment from behind, and the crane attempted to cut off Aatrox's arm with their weapons.
Aatrox's body emitted a strange chaos. Blood magic caused his body to surge with a wave of blood, and the next moment, it was about to engulf them.
And at this moment, Astar unleashed the Rulai's Palm again, striking a palm on Aatrox's writhing abdomen, dispersing the blood and flesh that was about to devour Rayleigh and Juba.
Dragon called the raging wind, Raijin brought thunder, and Kapu attempted to wash away Aatrox's resentment from behind. At that moment, the entire group formed a perfect union.
Although it was their first time working together, they showed a kind of unspoken understanding like old friends.
But at this instant, Aatrox released a tremendous magical power. A scattered shock directly hit everyone, especially Whitebeard and Roger. The two of them, who could not resist Aatrox's large sword before, were just delaying him earlier.
They were like fired projectiles, crashing into various areas. Aatrox's body still stood on this oasis, but this green world was being corroded by him.
No, even Aatrox's body was being corroded.
They struggled to stand up, looking at Aatrox's body.
Now, this body, seemingly stolen, was constantly decaying. Pus and decayed fluids dripped down. Muscles and bones collided and tore against each other, protesting against his monstrous appearance.
Without the excellent host like Barrett, his body was constantly in decay, and now without so much supply, his body would continue to deteriorate in battle.
The only question was one.
Whether they could stay alive until Aatrox's body completely decayed and broke down, still holding their lives in their hands...
Aatrox took a deep breath. "No, Aatrox..."
His voice was damp and hoarse, echoing in the world with people standing around him.
"We will keep moving forward, forward... until..."
"The final annihilation arrives!"
