Saint Warcury had lost count of how many times he'd been trampled on the ground by Whitebeard. In front of this "strongest man in the world," he mostly had no ability to resist at all.
Saint Warcury had tried to counterattack, but each of his attempts was easily caught by Whitebeard.
And every attack from Whitebeard made him suffer differently.
Such a huge gap in strength made Saint Warcury inwardly wail.
Somehow, Whitebeard was standing on Saint Warcury's huge head, half-squatting with one hand pressing down on the other's head.
Saint Warcury was sweating profusely, and before he could make any extra moves, a strong vibration made his brain buzz, and he almost lost consciousness.
His massive body was also blasted deep into the ground by that terrifying vibrational force.
The entire island trembled.
"Pfft!" Saint Warcury spat out a mouthful of blood, and before he could struggle to stand up, the scene before his eyes spun wildly.
Suddenly, his huge head was chopped off by Whitebeard again.
"My foolish daughter, try your sealing technique on this guy and see if it works!" Whitebeard said with a smile on his face.
It could be seen that Uzumaki Fuushi's figure appeared behind Whitebeard!
"Hmm!" Uzumaki Fuushi took a deep breath, facing this creature that was neither a Tailed Beast nor a Summoned Beast, but a monster transformed from a person, she was trying sealing for the first time.
She didn't know if she could succeed.
But she had to try.
Uzumaki Fuushi brought her hands together, forming a seal, and with a soft shout, golden chains burst forth from her body.
The dense golden chains, as if alive, wrapped around Saint Warcury's massive body.
At this moment, Saint Warcury's beheaded head was still healing rapidly, but the next second he felt strange objects wrapping and binding his body tightly.
The moment those strange objects touched his body, Saint Warcury sensed something was wrong.
It was as if his bodily functions were being restricted by a strange power.
Even his limbs seemed to be immobilized by this force.
It took a great deal of effort to move at all.
"What is this?!" Saint Warcury's face changed dramatically.
Struck by Whitebeard's barrage of terrifying attacks, there was pain but no life-threatening danger.
Because each of the Five Elders' bodies was like that of an immortal.
However, this strange power that could bind his own body made Saint Warcury realize that something was terribly wrong! "His strength is immense..." Uzumaki Fuushi's sealing technique from the Uzumaki clan lasted less than ten seconds before she turned pale from exhaustion, gasping for breath.
Fortunately, help arrived just in time, with "Fu" and "Haku," two Jinchuriki.
Fu and Haku used their Tailed Beast Chakra to replenish Uzumaki Fuushi's depleted chakra, giving her faltering body a bit of renewed strength.
Uzumaki Fuushi clenched her teeth, and more golden chains burst forth from her body.
Some even pierced through Saint Warcury's body.
"What is this?!" Saint Warcury was shocked to find that the chains piercing his body didn't harm him but could slow the flow of blood within!
Even his nerve responses were restrained!
He felt a numbness in his limbs that was beyond his control, making Saint Warcury desperately struggle.
"Gurarararararara! Stop moving, you big wild boar!"
Whitebeard's punch, powered with vibrational force, hit Saint Warcury, making him lose his ability to struggle temporarily.
With each passing second, Saint Warcury's expression grew uglier, as he was at the mercy of others! He knew the Whitebeard Pirates were doing something very unfavorable to him.
But every time he tried to get up, Whitebeard knocked him down again.
This frustrating feeling made Saint Warcury regret his actions.
Why did he have to provoke Whitebeard?
Suddenly, dozens of golden chains pierced through Saint Warcury's head, and in an instant, his brain was affected by the sealing technique.
Black sealing characters appeared on the surface of his massive body and spread over his entire body in less than half a minute.
Saint Warcury felt his consciousness fading, as if he was about to crash.
"Damn it..."
If it weren't for Whitebeard's overwhelming power, how could the strange abilities of that red-haired commoner make a member of the Five Elders so embarrassed? After all, Saint Warcury believed he could break free from this strange power with just a struggle.
But...
Every time he tried to struggle, Whitebeard suppressed him before he could start.
This caused Saint Warcury to miss the best time to break free.
"Ninjutsu—Adamantine Sealing Chains: Immovable King Sealing Technique!"
Uzumaki Fuushi, drenched in cold sweat, clenched her teeth and formed the last seal, then collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
In that moment, the tight connection between Saint Warcury's brain and body was almost severed by the sealing technique!
In other words...
Saint Warcury's consciousness could sense changes in the outside world and hear various sounds, but he completely lost control over his body.
"Pops, this is the limit of what I can do... This is also the limit of the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique... This sealing technique can seal him for at least three years."
After finishing a sentence, Uzumaki Fuushi collapsed from exhaustion.
Whitebeard knelt down and gently supported Uzumaki_Fuushi with his palm, a satisfied smile on his rugged, hearty face: "As expected of my daughter, Whitebeard! Haku, Fu, take her back to the ship and take good care of her, got it?"
Haku and Fu exchanged glances.
The two youngsters nodded hastily and said in unison, "Yes, Pops!!!"
Then, Whitebeard, holding his Murakumogiri, slowly stood up.
And gazed at Saint Warcury ahead.
"Gurararararara, the immortal... why can't you move?" This taunt made Saint Warcury's body tremble.
But that was the limit of Saint Warcury's movement.
Seeing this, Whitebeard's laughter grew even more hearty: "Gurararararara!!!"
And the situation on Whitebeard's side was always casually observed by everyone present.
They saw Saint Warcury suddenly lying motionless on the ground, like a dead pig...
Everyone immediately knew Whitebeard had defeated one of the Five Elders!
...
"How is that possible?!!"
Saint Mars looked incredulously at the motionless Saint Warcury in the distance.
But the person he was fighting was the former Pirate King, Roger.
Just a second of distraction, and he was sent flying by Roger's sword.
Saint Mars's huge "strange bird" body flew backward, crashing through two large mountains on the islands.
Enraged, Saint Mars transformed into a half-man, half-beast form, and after struggling out from the ruins of the mountain, his wings flapped violently as he charged at Roger.
"The so-called Pirate King is just a grain of sand crushed by the wheels of time! You alone can't defeat me!"
But at that moment, a slash flew in from the side of Saint_Mars!
The slash, with a "whoosh," cut off one of his wings.
"What?!"
The intense pain of having his wing cut off made Saint Mars gasp for air, turning his head to look in that direction.
"What if you add me?" A not-so-tall figure appeared, sword in hand, walking slowly towards them.
The white hair and wrinkles on his face showed the signs of age, but the aura he emitted was no less than in his prime.
Rayleigh shifted his gaze from Saint Mars and immediately looked at Roger in his Edo Tensei form.
A hint of shock and complexity flashed in his eyes: "Indeed... If Whitebeard can come back to life, Ace can come back to life... It probably means the Whitebeard Pirates now have the power to resurrect anyone. Captain Roger, it's been a long time."
Roger looked puzzledly at Rayleigh for several seconds.
Suddenly, a spark of realization flashed through his mind.
His eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked tentatively, "Rayleigh?"
"Ha! Seems I've aged enough that you almost didn't recognize me." Rayleigh laughed heartily.
"It really is you!" The confusion on Roger's face vanished in an instant, replaced by a look of joy.
"Captain, now's not the time for a reunion! Let's take care of this guy first, then we can catch up over a drink!" Rayleigh said with a smile, referring to Saint Mars, of course.
Even if Pirate King Roger could win against one of the Five Elders, but it would take quite some time.
But add the Pirate King's right-hand man to the mix, and the battle becomes a sure win without any suspense.
Saint Mars's face turned from red to purple with frustration.
...
"That guy... is Dark King Rayleigh? How did he get here?!"
On the other side, Saint Saturn, locked in battle with Nagato, was taken aback.
One Pirate King was enough, but now Dark King Rayleigh too?
Saint Mars, alone against these two legendary pirates, was surely outmatched! And there was no telling what was happening with Saint Warcury, who hadn't moved at all.
Even the usually calm Saint Saturn was getting anxious.
Suddenly, Saint Saturn noticed the flying youngster in front of him inexplicably lower his raised arm, his gaze seemingly looking past Saturn to something behind him.
Saint Saturn frowned. Was there something behind him? He quickly scanned behind with his Haki.
Then, a chilling feeling washed over him!
"It seems I've come to the right place... That man is alive again, what a shock! But it's good he's back; now I can see... whether I've surpassed him or if he's still stronger than me."
The voice behind him was full of extreme arrogance: "But before I fight him, I'll take care of you, the nuisance! Being locked up for so many years really ticked me off!"
Saint Saturn turned around in a hurry.
Behind him stood a military-dressed strongman with an odd outfit.
"Ha, it seems the high and mighty Five Elders don't recognize me."
Bullet grinned viciously: "My name is Douglas Bullet! My goal is to become the strongest in the world."
Seeing this, Nagato, floating in the air, pondered: "A third party has arrived?"
Saint Saturn's face darkened as he remembered the name—Douglas Bullet, the "Demon Heir"!
A former member of Roger's pirate crew!
Now the most notorious escapee from Impel Down!
"This is bad..."
With a formidable youngster in front and the Demon Heir, how could the World Government be under such attack?
The great battle between the World Government and the Whitebeard Pirates...
How could just anyone get involved?
The key point was...
Those who got involved were all on the side of the Whitebeard Pirates!
...
"Trouble! On the flank... another fleet has appeared! That doesn't look like Big Mom's pirates!"
Meanwhile, at sea, the World Government was at a disadvantage.
And they discovered a large fleet on their flank, second only to Big Mom's pirates!
The key was, this unfamiliar fleet was also firing at them!
"Brother Katakuri, who is that?" Daifuku from Big Mom's pirates asked, shocked. Katakuri looked into the distance: "It seems like a well-trained regular army, but it's not the Marines... Wait, that flag..."
Katakuri suddenly realized, "It's the Revolutionary Army!"
Yes, the Revolutionary Army has made its appearance!
After all, if this operation could take down the Five Elders, it would be an epic victory for the Revolutionary Army.
So, with Dragon's permission, Sabo mobilized all the forces the Revolutionary Army could muster and stormed into the New World.
This fleet is the Revolutionary Army's fleet! "I see..." Katakuri thought for a moment and understood, "The second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace, once said that his brother, Straw Hat Luffy's father, is the leader of the Revolutionary Army. So, there's a kind of 'family' connection between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army."
"It looks like the World Government is doomed." The current situation is so clear that even a pirate can see it.
The Five Elders are powerless to turn the tide!
Realizing the advantage was so great, Katakuri immediately ordered, "Notify all ships to approach the World Government's ships! We're going to have a battle with them!"
Katakuri's tone was fierce, "Crush them in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, Brother Katakuri!"
The pirates of the Big Mom Pirates immediately became frenzied.
Their ships fired cannons while charging forward.
The World Government's warships were so frightened that they increased their firepower output.
The cannons were red-hot.
But there were just too many ships from the Big Mom Pirates plus the Revolutionary Army.
They couldn't be stopped at all...
...
