Chapter 407 - Chapter 407: The Five Elders Defeated! The World Shaken!

"The immortal body is indeed a bit tricky..."

Senju Tobirama quickly leaped backward to dodge Saint Peter's attacks, frowning at the giant monster before him. Such a monster would indeed be a formidable foe in the ninja world.

In fact, during the battle with Saint Peter... it was all Senju Hashirama doing the attacking.

Senju Tobirama, on the other hand, was providing support.

He had to admit, the strong ones in this other world were formidable, especially this monster-like body was terrifying.

Despite not having a speck of chakra in his body, relying on his flesh and blood, he possessed such great strength.

Unbelievable! "I wonder what kind of Ninjutsu can be developed from such a guy..."

Even though he was a man who had died, he was still thinking about developing new Ninjutsu.

Senju Tobirama found Saint Peter to be quite troublesome, and Saint Peter felt the same about these two strangers.

The one who was good at controlling seawater was not too much of a concern. His strength was not weak, but Saint Peter felt he was just so-so.

His power was not enough to pose a great threat to himself.

But the other one who could control trees...

That made Saint Peter feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

"I was dragged by them and couldn't get away at all..."

Saint Peter clenched his teeth, his eyes glancing at Saint Warcury in the distance.

He realized that Saint Warcury had been thoroughly defeated.

He looked again at Saint Mars, who was being overwhelmed by Roger and Rayleigh, with no power to fight back, already showing signs of defeat.

By the looks of it, Saint Mars wouldn't last much longer.

Farther away, Saint Nusjuro and Big Mom were evenly matched in their fight.

The battle between them was intense, but neither side had yet to determine who was stronger.

On another front, Saint Saturn was feeling the pressure under the combined attack of a Whitebeard Pirates executive and the Demon Heir, Bullet. It seemed like he might not be able to hold on much longer.

The situation had deteriorated to the point of no return.

Just then, Saint Mars noticed Whitebeard's movements. He watched, wide-eyed, as Whitebeard, carrying his blade, walked slowly towards him.

Saint Mars broke out in a cold sweat.

That's right...

Whitebeard, having dealt with Saint Warcury, wouldn't just stop there. He was sure to press his advantage and defeat the other Elders.

Originally he was in a dangerous two-on-one situation, and now Whitebeard was coming this way...

"Gurararararara! It's is a shame" Whitebeard said with a hint of regret. Clearly, he was addressing the First and Second Hokages. "Orochimaru's Edo Tensei technique is a bit weak, failing to bring out your full strength."

Especially the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, upon whom Whitebeard's gaze fell. Whitebeard laughed heartily: "If it were you in your prime, you could have taken care of this guy all by yourself, right?"

Senju Hashirama, flattered by Whitebeard's sudden praise, scratched his head a bit sheepishly.

He laughed along with Whitebeard: "Haha, this enemy is quite formidable. Even in my lifetime, I would have had to exert some effort to deal with him!"

Senju Tobirama rolled his eyes, thinking his brother was hopeless.

Didn't he realize he was being manipulated by a pirate? And yet, he still had such a favorable attitude towards a pirate?

"Whitebeard!" Suddenly, Saint Mars shouted at Whitebeard through gritted teeth: "Is your ambition to overturn the entire world? Do you realize how much chaos that would bring?"

Whitebeard glanced at Saint Mars with a vacant look, his rugged face breaking into a hearty, perhaps mocking, smile: "The world you've plagued, could it get any worse? Besides... I am a pirate! Whether the world gets better or worse, what does it have to do with me?"

Saint Mars was left speechless by Whitebeard's retort.

Saint Mars felt foolish. Even though he was speaking to a pirate, Whitebeard was a notoriously brutal one. The Whitebeard Pirates might not be the most extreme, but they were certainly no saints at sea.

Then, Whitebeard sneered: "Old remnants older than me should just roll into the dustbin of history, not stand high and mighty over the whole world!"

"Shockwave!!!"

Whitebeard unleashed the awakening power of his Devil Fruit, throwing a heavy punch through the air.

A dense web of atmospheric cracks roared towards Saint Mars like a raging blue dragon.

The speed was so fast that the opponent couldn't dodge at all!

"Ugh!!!"

Saint Mars spat out a lot of blood, his body twisted and contorted by the force of the impact, his muscles breaking down.

He felt the pain that Saint Warcury had suffered.

"Now's my chance."

Senju Hashirama's expression turned serious: "If we can't kill him, then let's use a sealing technique!"

As the First Hokage of Konohagakure, Senju Hashirama's sealing techniques were top-notch.

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!!!"

A giant wooden figure emerged from a mass of trees, its exaggeratedly muscular form even larger than Saint Mars in his complete beast transformation.

A large character appeared on the palm of the wooden figure.

Senju Hashirama stood on top of the wooden figure's head and shouted solemnly.

"Wood Sealing Technique!!!"

A pat on the head stopped Saint Mars in his tracks, his wild eyes instantly frozen, the madness in them fading to confusion and then to a dazed state, his body slowly going limp.

Thud! The huge body fell powerlessly to the ground, as if affected by some strange force, gradually reverting to a human form, but the consciousness remained muddled.

This Ninjutsu could even suppress the Nine-Tails' chakra and put it to sleep.

Although Saint Mars didn't have chakra for Senju Hashirama to suppress, putting him into a sleeping state was enough.

This meant another of the Five Elders had fallen!

Next, Whitebeard, along with Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, moved towards Saint Peter.

Saint Peter turned pale with fear.

His fate was the same as Saint Mars', even more pitiful.

Because he was being attacked by five people at once! Next was Saint Saturn.

Saint Saturn felt the urge to flee, but before he could act, Whitebeard knocked him down with a punch.

Immediately after, Senju Hashirama's "Wood Sealing Technique" put him to sleep as well.

Finally... Nagato hit Saint Saturn with a "Chibaku Tensei," sealing him inside a huge rock sphere hundreds of meters in diameter.

Now, the last of the Five Elders still standing...

Was only Saint Nusjuro! "Mama mama, don't even think about running!"

Big Mom wouldn't let this old man escape, blocking Saint Nusjuro's retreat with a "Sovereign Haki."

In the next moment, Whitebeard and the others were already upon him, driving Saint Nusjuro to despair.

His despair wouldn't bring a savior.

Only the care of "Wood Sealing Technique" and "Chibaku Tensei."

When another huge rock sphere hundreds of meters in diameter floated in the sky.

All the Five Elders were defeated by the Whitebeard Pirates.

Each one was beaten in a sorry state! Even the strongest of the Five Elders lost to the Whitebeard Pirates, and the seventy thousand elite troops brought by the Five Elders crumbled under the combined assault of the Whitebeard Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, and the Revolutionary Army, unable to hold on.

"It's over, even the Five Elders have lost to Whitebeard, what's the point of us holding out here?"

"Trouble! Katakuri from the Big Mom Pirates is coming to kill us! Yikes! Marco from the Whitebeard Pirates is here too!"

"Run for it!!!"

"Don't you dare run! Betraying the World Government is a death sentence, and your families will pay for your cowardice!"

"Forget that, the Five Elders are defeated, we'll die even faster if we don't run!"

"..."

The morale of the World Government's 70,000 elite troops has completely collapsed, while the spirits of the pirates and the Revolutionary Army are soaring, utterly routing the World Government's forces.

Some of the World Government's elites are already trying to escape by boat.

And some have even knelt down and surrendered!

As time ticked away, the sounds of battle and gunfire on the battlefield finally ceased.

The Whitebeard Pirates...

A grand victory!!! "Captain Marco, shouldn't we chase them down? Wouldn't it be best to wipe out these lapdogs of the World Government?" asked a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, seeing the frantic escape of the warships.

Marco looked a bit weary; the battle had taken a toll on him.

Hearing the crew member's question, Marco shook his head and said, "There's no need. Just driving the World Government to a defeated escape has already proven our power over them."

With that, Marco sighed, "The situation is changing!"

After all... in his memory, the Whitebeard Pirates were in such a sorry state not long ago during the Summit War.

Now they could even stand up to the entire World Government!

Although for some reason, the Marines didn't join this great battle.

But Marco couldn't care less about those details.

Anyway...

The Whitebeard Pirates won!

On the other side, Katakuri tossed a CP agent who had fainted to the ground, breathing in the thick smell of gunpowder and blood in the air, and said to himself calmly, "After this war, I doubt anyone in the world would dare to mess with the Whitebeard Pirates."

He believed that news of this great battle would spread across the world in no time, and it was a message that couldn't be suppressed.

Maybe...

Reporters from the World Economic News Agency were secretly photographing this great battle.

Maybe Morgans was already writing the story...

...

Katakuri was right.

Morgans, holding a pen, was tremblingly drafting a news release that could dissolve the old world order.

He knew very well the shock it would cause if this news spread across the world.

He also knew that if his World Economic News Agency spread this news across the world...

They would likely face the World Government's wrath.

But Morgans couldn't care less now.

Big news was his life, and if such a big story wasn't spread, it would almost kill him!

As he rounded off the last period of the news release, Morgans hurriedly ordered his subordinates, "Go print the newspapers! Print as many as you can! Print like there's no tomorrow! Even if the machines break down, we'll buy new ones and keep printing!"

He paused, then continued, "This time, all the newspapers are free. Let all the news birds spread these papers to every corner of the vast sea!"

The underling was dumbfounded: "Free... Free?!"

He truly found it hard to believe that such a word...

Could actually come from the mouth of the stingy newspaper president.

"Yes! Completely free!"

Morgans's eyes were a fiery red: "This is news that could change the world's situation, news that could start a new era! Money is an insult to this kind of news, do you understand? What are you standing around for? Go on, hurry!"

"Yes, President!"

...

Freshly printed newspapers, still warm from the press of the World Economic Journal, were immediately handed over to a flock of news birds, who then scattered them across the entire sea.

It was a literal sea of papers, with sheets fluttering down from the sky like snowflakes.

Some landed in the sea, some on deserted islands, some in towns, and even some inside Marine bases.

"Kidd! Look! Something big has happened in the New World!"

Killer, the vice-captain of the Kidd Pirates, picked up a newspaper from the ground and ran towards Kidd.

But when he got to Kidd, he found that Kidd also had a newspaper.

Exactly the same as the one in his hands.

"Killer..." Kidd doubted himself for the first time, murmuring: "Do you think... I was a bit hasty when I said a few days ago that I wanted to take down the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Killer fell silent.

...

At Marine Headquarters.

Sakazuki stood by the window, holding a newspaper he had picked up from the sill.

"Whitebeard..."

"The Five Elders..."

"Phew!"

Sakazuki's breath was heavy with the scent of sulfur.

His palm turned into scorching magma.

Burning the newspaper to ashes.

It was clear... his mood was very unsettled.

After all...

The Whitebeard Pirates had defeated the Five Elders! Defeating the Five Elders was no different from defeating the World Government!

Who would have thought that the ones to defeat the World Government would be a group of pirates! Although the newspaper mentioned the involvement of the Revolutionary Army.

But the main force against the Five Elders was still the pirates.

"This era is not just chaotic," Sakazuki said in a low voice. "It's even running wild."

...

At the Revolutionary Army base.

Dragon's mouth curved into a smile: "Sabo, it seems that this time, you've made a very correct decision. One that could change the direction of the entire world."

He realized... the Revolutionary Army no longer needed to keep a low profile.

It was time to truly step onto the world stage.

It was time to liberate more countries.

...
