Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, the sun that had been split in half by the Five Elders did not dissipate into the air as expected.
Instead, it began to boil continuously, while a dangerous wave swept outwards in all directions.
The members of CP0 present suddenly realized something, their eyes filled with incredulity.
Then, accompanied by two loud roars, two terrifying waves of energy began to sweep outwards from the split sun, engulfing the surroundings. If it were an ordinary fireball, it would probably have been annihilated by the terrifying blow of the Five Elders.
However, the sun filled with flames of revenge would not be so easily extinguished.
With a deafening roar, brilliant light erupted from the two halves of the split sun.
Then, radiant light emanated, shimmering with dazzling colors, beautiful yet deadly.
After a sudden shock, shockwaves spread rapidly with explosions, expanding into two massive halos visible to the naked eye, enveloping Mary Geoise, causing countless people to look up in fear.
Immediately after, everything seemed to fall into silence.
"Great, this is truly great news!"
"Get closer, get closer! I want the best shooting angle!"
Looking at the two huge mushroom clouds rising above Mary Geoise, Morgan was almost ecstatic. Although he was somewhat prepared for the "big news" Nicholas mentioned, he never expected it to be such an explosive piece of news.
According to the intelligence he had gathered, he thought Nicholas' big news might involve teaching a lesson to the celestial dragon who captured Bedeck, the emerging underworld figure. But he didn't expect Nicholas to dare to directly attack Mary Geoise. The explosiveness of this news far exceeded the hype when Roger became the Pirate King.
"Boss, we can't get any closer. If we do, the enraged World Government might consider us accomplices!"
Hearing Morgan's words, his subordinates from the news agency desperately advised against it. After all, Mary Geoise had just been attacked. It was conceivable how angry the World Government would be. They wouldn't care if you were innocent or not.
Moreover, filming the battered side of Mary Geoise at this time would be tantamount to slapping the World Government's face. If they continued to provoke, who knows if those guys would go crazy.
At the Human Auctioning House in Sabaody Archipelago.
A certain whale shark underling was in the middle of a transaction with the Donquixote Family.
"Your strength seems impressive. Are you interested in joining our Donquixote Family?"
Doflamingo looked at the whale shark standing there, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration. Obviously, the strength displayed by this whale shark had astonished him. After all, being able to easily defeat Toribepo and Diamante's combined efforts on land undoubtedly proved the whale shark's strength.
Once he joined, with the sea's bonus for fishmen, the strength of the Donquixote Family would undoubtedly undergo another significant enhancement.
"Thank you for your kindness, but as a fishman, I'm not interested in joining other factions."
The whale shark politely declined the invitation. After all, these people gave him a very bad feeling.
"That's a shame."
As Doflamingo spoke, his fingers moved slightly, apparently intending to teach some ignorant fellow a lesson and add some fun to his boring day.
Boom! Boom!
With two loud noises, Doflamingo suddenly stood up from his seat. Then he looked towards the direction where the explosion came from. Although he was wearing sunglasses, his incredible emotions could still be clearly sensed.
"hahahahaha, what a crazy guy!"
Doflamingo covered his face with his hand and burst into laughter, so hearty that even the muscles on his shoulders trembled with his laughter.
"All right, Trebol, let's send our guest off."
After saying that, he directly flicked a thread out and quickly rushed towards the direction of the explosion. He couldn't wait to see the looks on those people's faces.
He wondered if they would still look as arrogant as they did when they rejected Doflamingo's return.
Boom! Boom!
The earth-shattering explosion resounded through the air, and incredibly violent air currents surged out, causing a massive mushroom cloud to rise rapidly into the air, as if a giant were standing up.
The gale swept in all directions, and those who were outside the explosion range felt a roar in their ears.
Many people's faces changed abruptly, raising their hands to block the scorching wind, looking at the mushroom cloud in the sky with trembling hearts.
From a distance, the explosion looked terrifying and frightening, making people fearful and unable to imagine what it would be like to be in the midst of it.
Under such an explosion, could anyone survive?
The explosion was quick, and the strong wind swept down. Everyone's robes fluttered, and they stared at the center of the explosion with widened eyes.
At this moment, there were no figures standing in the center of the explosion. Everywhere was rubble, with some charred corpses scattered around. There were even two giant craters on the ground.
The further out one went, the more brutal it was. From time to time, one could see broken bodies lying on the ground, some severely burned and still moaning in agony. It was like a hell on earth. Perhaps dying instantly in the center of the explosion was a kind of happiness.
The Five Elders looked at the center of the explosion with ugly expressions. At this moment, their white robes were somewhat tattered, making them look disheveled.
"Yohohoho..."
At this moment, a voice rang out from the sky.
Brook rotated the cane-sword in his hand, standing a hundred meters above the ground, lifting his Soul Solid sword and saying seriously, "I hope you all have a pleasant day."
"..."
As Brook's voice fell, a faint green light emanated from the sword's body, and at the same time, a breath not belonging to this world slowly emanated from him.
A dangerous sword.
And the person holding the sword was equally dangerous.
As the wielder of the Soul Solid, Brook could keenly sense the aura of kinship emanating from the Five Elders. The aura on the opponent's body represented the underworld.
With the sound of the sword returning to its sheath.
"Yohohoho, Song of the Underworld: Demonic Encounter."
Then, Brook spoke out the name of the technique he had just used.
At the same time, the corpses that had been lying on the ground began to sway unsteadily and started to attack the people around them frantically, as if at this moment these undead had briefly returned from the underworld.
The power from the underworld was beginning to show its might.
And at this moment, a swift slash flew towards Brook.
"Yohohoho!"
Brook dodged sideways, looking at the Five Elders who had sheathed their swords on the ground, and said with a smile, "You're indeed a powerful swordsman, but I won't be foolish enough to engage you head-on."
After speaking, Brook quickly began to retreat using Moonwalk. Apparently, he knew that with his current strength, he was no match for the opponent. He wouldn't give the enemy a chance to catch him.
At the same time, Brook also remembered what Nicholas had once said to him.
According to Nicholas, the Yomi Yomi no Mi is a rare ability.
Unlike other Devil Fruits that require the genetic makeup of organisms as hosts, it resides directly within the soul and changes something intangible within it.
Now, temporarily leaving the deceased in the mortal world and having them fight for oneself was just one of the abilities of the Yomi Yomi no Mi.
Perhaps as the ability deepens, it may even lead to higher levels of spiritual abilities.
He looked forward to the awakening of the Devil Fruit.
Although it was very difficult...
But as long as it awakens, he can truly be called the King of the Underworld. As for the levels mentioned by Nicholas after the awakening, even Brook at this moment dared not to hope for it. After all, that was too incredible.
But he wouldn't give up easily.
He would do his best to evolve the mighty power from the underworld to the scene Nicholas had mentioned.
Only then could he live up to Nicholas' expectations of him.
