Holy Land Mary Geoise.
In the Pangaea Castle, among the flowers!
At this moment, the Five Elders, who claim to hold the highest authority in the World Government, knelt in fear before the figure hidden beneath a black robe.
Since that terribly evil incident, Shiro, the traitor of the Navy, had brazenly killed the Celestial Dragons. The young man named Shiro had risen rapidly, and because of his actions, the Summit war directly led to the defeat of Marine Headquarters. Now, Shiro had even established a criminal organization as threatening as the Revolutionary Army—Central Authority!
Piece by piece, step by step, Shiro's defiance mounted, and the Five Elders had no choice but to accept their failures. They shivered as they faced the supreme figure before them, a figure seemingly uninterested in their panic.
"The Island of World Military Draft in the New World is under the jurisdiction of the Navy Headquarters."
An ethereal voice echoed from afar, causing the Five Elders to respond immediately.
"Bring the map here!"
New World.
A fierce battle raged on.
Fleet Admiral Akainu had not gained the upper hand. Shiro seemed to command several terrifying natural energies, the flames alone making even Akainu, with his control over magma, feel dread. Combined with various other magical abilities, Akainu, who staunchly believed in absolute justice, had to admit that Shiro was a force beyond his current reach.
Shiro, once a Rear Admiral, had become one of the strongest figures on the sea.
"Akainu, the Navy is doomed. Do you want to continue?"
Shiro stood proudly in the air, holding his famed sword, Destiny, and looked down at Akainu.
Though the battle had surprised Shiro himself, he never expected that he had surpassed Akainu. The progress brought on by his abilities allowed him to dominate the battlefield. While defeating Akainu completely in a short time was unrealistic, Shiro had clearly gained the upper hand.
And that was a fact the witnesses on the island accepted.
Even the Buddha Sengoku could only look on with bitterness, realizing the Navy had failed again, and this time miserably.
Though there was still hope, the question remained: Could Shiro be stopped? Could they contain the hundreds of thousands of defected troops? Even if they cornered the army, would they be able to stop Shiro from escaping? The chances seemed slim.
"Shiro, don't get too cocky just yet!" Akainu growled as he climbed back to his feet, wiping the blood from his mouth.
Despite the looming failure, Akainu's sense of justice compelled him. He had already contacted the Five Elders, and even they had begun to recognize Shiro and the Central Authority as threats to the World Government. Reinforcements were already on their way, and Akainu believed they still had a chance to kill Shiro.
"If I can just kill Shiro, the Marine Headquarters will restore its prestige!"
Akainu's determination was unwavering. Just as he prepared to launch another assault, something changed. He hid his expression as his attention focused on Shiro.
Behind Shiro, silently and swiftly, tree saplings emerged from the ground. It was Aramaki!
Although Aramaki had been severely injured earlier, his ability to absorb life essence allowed him to recover quickly. If Aramaki regained his full combat strength, the odds of defeating Shiro would dramatically increase.
Absolute Justice would prevail!
"Shiro! You despicable brat hiding behind your identity, prepare to pay the price!"
Aramaki, who had been lurking, seized the opportunity and struck Shiro from behind with a powerful blow, while at the same time, Akainu launched his own attack. Both Akainu and Aramaki had learned from previous encounters, ensuring they guarded against Shiro's strange abilities with their elemental defenses.
In their eyes, if Shiro survived, he would at least be gravely injured.
The sight of this ambush shocked everyone present. Hancock and Nico Robin, both watching the fight from a distance, went berserk as they fought off their enemies and rushed to Shiro's aid. Hancock, with a pink halo in her eyes, exuded overwhelming power.
But they couldn't reach Shiro in time.
Even Sengoku the Buddha felt a glimmer of hope. If Shiro were to be severely injured, the Navy might still have a chance.
However, Shiro himself was rather calm. He wasn't about to let such an attack end his plans to overthrow the World Government.
Boom!
The two attacks collided with tremendous force, sending shockwaves across the island. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the results.
When the dust settled, Shiro was nowhere to be found!
Akainu and Aramaki exchanged bewildered glances. They knew their attack wasn't enough to destroy Shiro completely. So where had he gone?
Before anyone could process what had happened, the ground beneath them rumbled. A distant, powerful voice echoed across the island, shaking it to its core.
"Wood, Wind, Thunder, Fire—Transform into Buddha!"
