“Rumble, rumble, rumble…”
This earth-shattering roar seemed to tear through the heavens and the earth, its vibrations penetrating deep into the ground, causing even Elbaf itself to tremble.
Whitebeard’s Murakumogiri, Jin-an's blade energy, and the Five Elders' attacks collided, creating shockwaves that resembled an invisible hurricane, tearing the surrounding air into a dense web of swirling currents, which rolled out across the battlefield like a tsunami.
The ground began to shake violently, with large chunks of rock breaking off from the cliffs and shattering into rubble upon impact.
The distant forest was caught in the shockwave, with vast ancient trees uprooted and sent flying through the air like leaves in a storm.
Even the land beneath their feet began to collapse, with cracks spreading like spiderwebs.
Countless New Navy and World Government soldiers were caught in the force, instantly losing their balance as if standing in a crumbling doomsday landscape.
Jin-an, Whitebeard, and the Five Elders' clash was as awe-inspiring as a landslide.
The air was filled with the scent of shattering, and the aftermath of the battle devoured everything as it spread, making even breathing heavy and oppressive.
Soldiers further away from the battlefield were thrown dozens of meters away by the impact, their bodies crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood mist, their faces filled with terror and helplessness.
“Ah—!”
A New Navy soldier covered his ears, his face pale as he hid behind a rock, his eyes filled with unconcealed fear, “What… what kind of power is this?”
The surrounding soldiers were similarly cowering on the ground, their eyes wide as they watched the battle scene that seemed to tear the sky apart.
The entire sky seemed to change color under the pressure of the intertwined Haki, their faces reflecting a deep fear of life and death in the dim light.
Even the metallic and smoky smells that permeated the air seemed insignificant in the face of this absolute power.
Whitebeard's attack carried the force of thunder, his Murakumogiri like a sharp blade that could sever the heavens and the earth, each swing seeming to tear the air.
His power seemed endless, like a tide surging towards the Five Elders, forcing them to retreat continuously.
Although the Five Elders tried their best to resist, their bodies gradually showed signs of battle, but their eyes revealed a hint of fanaticism and unwillingness, as if they would do anything to completely crush their enemies.
The surface of Elbaf continued to crumble, and rolling dust rose from all around, the distant soldiers could only stare dumbfounded at everything, helplessly enduring the impact of the aftermath.
Countless Pacifistas and government soldiers were ruthlessly caught in the crossfire, their screams and the sound of destruction merging into one, without even a chance to resist.
In this chaos, Whitebeard laughed wildly, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit, Murakumogiri slammed heavily towards one of the Five Elders, making a loud noise: “Five Elders, I want to see how long you can last!”
A trace of anger and exasperation flashed in the Five Elders' eyes, and they launched a counterattack almost simultaneously, their attacks as fierce as a hurricane, trying to force Whitebeard back.
However, Whitebeard's figure was like a rock that did not move, no matter how fierce the attacks were, he remained as steady as Mount Tai, and his momentum became stronger as he fought.
Jin-an looked at the Five Elders' angry expressions in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, his eyes filled with contempt.
He did not hide his contempt, snorted coldly, Ace and the Karigane blade were slowly lifted in his hands, the edge pointed, and the killing intent was pressing.
Whitebeard spoke lightly, his tone carrying an unquestionable domineering aura: “Five Elders, that’s all you are… you should retire early with this little power, you’ll be surpassed by those newcomers you’ve trained sooner or later if you stay in this position. Don’t think you can stop my steps with this little power!”
Hearing this provocation, the anger in the Five Elders' eyes grew even stronger, as if his words had hit some unspeakable secret.
The aura around the five people suddenly surged, almost tearing the surrounding space.
One of the Five Elders standing at the front—Saint Saturn's eyes flashed with a cold light, smiled coldly, and responded with deep killing intent: “Whitebeard, you still haven’t figured out the situation. The fact that you can still stand here and talk to us is the result of our tolerance! We represent absolute power, and you… are just an outdated character destined to be erased!”
Before he finished speaking, a dark red energy wave appeared in Saint Saturn's hand, as if it contained the power to destroy everything.
Immediately afterwards, his huge body disappeared from the spot like lightning, turning into a black shadow and heading straight for Whitebeard.
Whitebeard sneered, without any avoidance, he clenched Murakumogiri with both hands and directly met the impact.
The moment the blade and energy collided, a huge energy wave exploded in the air, and the deafening explosion seemed to tear the heavens and the earth.
At that moment, the air seemed to be frozen, as if the whole world was left with only this life-and-death collision.
The Five Elders felt Whitebeard's tyrannical counterattack, and their eyes showed a trace of shock mixed with unwillingness.
Even though they had obtained the power bestowed by Imu, they still felt strained under Whitebeard's fierce offensive.
In the distance, Jin-an witnessed the battle between Whitebeard and the Five Elders, and his eyes moved slightly.
He saw the undisguised anger and panic on the Five Elders' faces, and his heart sneered even more.
As the former supreme beings, the Five Elders had to rely on the power of others to fight against their enemies. Jin-an had already seen this clearly and his contempt for them was beyond words.
The Five Elders noticed Jin-an's gaze, as if they had seen through the contempt in his heart, and their anger instantly grew even stronger.
Saint Saturn stared at Jin-an gloomily, smiled coldly, and said with a strong killing intent: “Jin-an, both you and this guy must die today! On this land, we are the absolute rulers, and anyone who dares to disobey… will pay the price!”
As the words fell, the other four Five Elders attacked at the same time, and four world-destroying forces, wrapped in amazing pressure, pressed towards Jin-an and Whitebeard.
Each force carried different energy fluctuations, erupting like a volcano, as if to completely destroy the enemy in front of them.
The Five Elders' attacks were precise and swift, and each attack carried an unquestionable power, as if they represented the absolute power that could not be violated.
Faced with the Five Elders' joint offensive, Whitebeard and Jin-an sneered at the same time, their eyes flashing with the same determination and fighting spirit.
Whitebeard laughed wildly, Murakumogiri slashed again, the blade energy tore through the air, as if to completely shatter the Five Elders' dismissive posture.
And Jin-an formed a strong aura like an abyss beside him, his aura surging like a tide, facing the Five Elders' offensive with fearless sharpness.
“It’s useless to say more, five pests, laughable, laughable.” Jin-an said coldly, his eyes full of cold light.
