On the other battlefield.
Blackbeard was being beaten mercilessly by Jin and Steel Bones Kong.
"You've gotten stronger again, Jin, Zehahahaha!!!"
Although blood stained Blackbeard's lips and his chest was caved in, he was still laughing.
"I like your laughter; save it for me in your next life."
Jin's face was cold as he coated his hand with Conqueror's Haki and then charged forward.
Sensing the aura of death, Blackbeard's smile faltered, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
Just as Jin was about to deliver the final blow, Blackbeard suddenly shouted, "If I die here today, all the agreements we made will be void, and I won't truly die. You better think this through!!!"
"Why so much nonsense? Take my fist!!!"
Steel Bones Kong was filled with question marks. He didn't know who Blackbeard was talking to, but he didn't care either. He directly threw a punch at the opponent, refusing to believe that anyone in this world was truly immortal.
Just as Blackbeard's voice fell, the Five Elders suddenly appeared.
And all five of them were present.
Behind them, the God's Knights also watched Jin and the others with cold eyes.
The Five Elders' gazes were fixed on Jin, as if they were looking at a dead man.
The air on the battlefield seemed to freeze instantly.
Jin slightly raised the corner of his mouth, his smile revealing endless sarcasm.
He stood in front of Blackbeard, his eyes sweeping over the suddenly appearing Five Elders, as if watching an extremely absurd farce.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze landing on Shepherd Ju Peter, and gently sighed, "I see, even you are playing a role in this play."
Blackbeard seized the opportunity to pant heavily, a smug smile appearing on his face. He suppressed the pain and said in a hoarse voice, "Jin, you think you can kill me? The agreement between me and them, the combination of strength and strategy, is the key to my reaching where I am today. As long as I live, they won't let you touch me easily."
Steel Bones Kong's fist hung in mid-air, his brow furrowed, filled with question marks.
He didn't understand how many unknown things were hidden behind these conspiracies, but at this moment, the Five Elders had clearly revealed everything.
His fist still carried anger, but Shepherd Ju Peter's words were like cold chains, forcibly holding him back.
"Kong, stop."
Shepherd Ju Peter's voice was indifferent and full of authority, as if issuing an unquestionable order.
Steel Bones Kong's fist trembled slightly, his eyes were dark and uncertain, and the anger in his heart was suppressed like a volcano about to erupt.
He understood that the Five Elders' cold indifference, the innocent sacrifice of the Navy soldiers, and even the war itself, were all part of a carefully planned conspiracy.
And he was just a pawn being manipulated.
"You've been watching all along, but never intervened, only appearing now to save this bastard's life?" Steel Bones Kong's voice was low, full of anger and helplessness.
Shepherd Ju Peter's eyes did not waver in the slightest, as if he felt nothing for the deaths of the Navy.
He coldly said, "Some things are beyond your understanding. Blackbeard has unfinished tasks in this game."
Jin listened quietly, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.
His smile became even colder, and he gently clapped his hands, "What a great show, the Five Elders and Blackbeard, the World Government and pirates, putting on an absurd play together. Do you really think you can control everything?"
His words were like a sharp blade, piercing into the hearts of everyone present.
The pupils of the Navy soldiers shrank to the size of pinpoints upon hearing these words.
They had never imagined that the World Government would collude with notorious pirates, which was completely contrary to their belief in upholding justice.
"Jin, there are too many things you don't know," Shepherd Ju Peter said with a faint smile, "Some decisions are not for you to make."
Seeing this, Blackbeard laughed triumphantly, "Zehahahaha! Jin, do you see that? This is the rule of the world. You are just a pawn in it!"
His laughter was full of a sense of control over the situation. He thought he had escaped a calamity. With the Five Elders backing him, he would not die easily, and he still had more interesting things to do.
However, Jin's gaze remained cold. He looked at Blackbeard, his smile disappearing, replaced by a deep coldness: "You think, with them backing you, I can't kill you?"
Blackbeard's laughter stopped abruptly, cold sweat seeping from his forehead. He could feel Jin's killing intent was still strong and had not dissipated.
"Jin!" Shepherd Ju Peter's face turned slightly cold, his tone carrying a warning, "The World Government's decisions are not something you can easily defy."
But Jin's expression did not change in the slightest. He calmly stretched out his hand, his fingers moved slightly, and a overwhelming force suddenly surged in the air. Haki rushed towards Blackbeard like a tide.
"The rules of the world are set by you, but no one can touch my rules," Jin's voice was like the whisper of the Grim Reaper. Blackbeard instantly felt the approach of death, his eyes widened in horror, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
At this critical moment, Shepherd Ju Peter's figure flashed in front of Blackbeard, blocking Jin's Haki impact.
The Five Elders' aura exuded pressure, and the two forces were at a stalemate in the air, the battlefield instantly falling into deathly silence.
Everyone held their breath, the air filled with an extremely tense atmosphere.
"Do you really want to be an enemy of the World Government?" Shepherd Ju Peter said coldly.
Jin smiled slightly: "I never bother to be an enemy of the World Government, because in my eyes, there is only this guy Blackbeard."
There was another sentence he didn't say: he had never taken the World Government seriously, so it was in the past, so it is now, and so it will be in the future.
The Five Elders' expressions immediately darkened, and Blackbeard didn't dare to say anything more. The entire battlefield was shrouded in an invisible pressure, as if a disaster that could not be undone would erupt at any moment.
The Navy soldiers still maintained a tense vigilance, their eyes complex, not knowing what would happen next, but the beliefs in their hearts seemed to be shaking.
Justice, what exactly is it?
Jin stood in the center of the battlefield, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not shaken by the dangerous situation in front of him.
His gaze wandered over the Five Elders, as if admiring a group of boring actors.
The tension in the air seemed to solidify into ice, every inch of space filled with an invisible sense of oppression.
"No need to find so many high-sounding reasons," Jin waved his hand gently, his tone with a hint of戏谑and disdain, "Today you set up this game, isn't it just to kill me? If so, go ahead, I'll take it all."
His voice was not loud, but every word was like a hammer hitting everyone's heart. The Navy soldiers faintly felt a chill spreading from the soles of their feet to their entire bodies.
Faced with such a powerful opponent, Jin could still be so calm and composed, his confidence seemed impeccable, even making those on the opposite side feel a trace of unease.
Jaygarcia Saturn's face was extremely gloomy, his eyes revealing a strong killing intent.
He spoke coldly, his voice like ice, "Jin, you are indeed a scourge that disrupts the balance. If people like you are not eliminated as soon as possible, the world will surely fall into chaos."
