“Huff…”
Jin An took a deep breath, his body leaning slightly forward, the long sword held flat in front of his chest, his eyes slightly closed.
The ground beneath his feet trembled from the powerful aura, gravel floated up silently, and a suffocating atmosphere filled the air.
“It's time to get a little serious.”
He said in a low voice, not loud, but with an undeniable majesty.
As his voice fell, a vast aura burst out from Jin An's body.
Haoshoku Haki swept around him like a raging wave, instantly covering the entire battlefield.
The air seemed to be torn apart, making a piercing roar, and the world was suddenly shrouded in a violent aura.
“Boom——!”
Wherever the Haki passed, the earth cracked and rocks flew.
The New Navy and Giant Tribe soldiers only felt an unparalleled force pressing down from above,
Instantly shattering the despair that enveloped their hearts,
“This Haki… is Lord Jin An…”
“What an intense Haki.”
They couldn't help but stop their movements, looking up at Jin An's direction, their eyes filled with renewed hope.
“Thump…”
“Thump…”
On the other hand, on the World Government's side, the ordinary soldiers bore the brunt of the attack, their bodies struck by lightning, and they fell to the ground, unconscious.
“Is this the Haki released by Jin An?”
“Interesting.”
Although the Seraphim were not completely overwhelmed by the Haki, their movements were also noticeably sluggish for a moment, their precise attacks suddenly became slow, and the original suppressive threat seemed to have weakened slightly.
The Five Elders stood on high, coldly watching this scene.
Jaygarcia Saturn's brow furrowed, his face unusually gloomy:
“His Haoshoku Haki seems to have become stronger again? Even more amazing.”
Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro snorted, his tone with a hint of impatience:
“As expected of a highly regarded admiral, even we feel a trace of pressure.
But, can he turn the tables with just Haki?”
But even so, they could not ignore the impact of this power.
The Haki collided with them like a tangible object, and even with the strength of the Five Elders, they had to mobilize their power to resist the oppressive feeling.
“Huff huff…”
Their cloaks fluttered, and the ground beneath their feet cracked due to the force of the confrontation.
“This guy's aura… no wonder even Im-sama is paying attention to him.”
Shepherd Ju Peter laughed coldly, but his eyes revealed a hint of fear.
Jin An slowly opened his eyes, his eyes seeming to flash with lightning-like light.
His Haki was still spreading, like a tsunami, wave after wave, and the battlefield was shrouded in an invisible pressure.
“If you're scared, then get out.”
Jin An said in a low voice, his voice filled with unquestionable coldness,
“Otherwise, the next to fall will be you.”
The Five Elders' faces were ashen when they heard this, but they did not respond immediately.
Of course, they would not leave easily, but the power Jin An displayed had already made them feel that something was wrong.
At this moment, the Seraphim resumed their actions, but their movements still carried an imperceptible slowness.
Jin An gripped his long sword, the blade faintly flashing with lightning, his figure as immovable as a towering mountain.
“The World Government's foundation is indeed amazing, but on the battlefield, the will of the strong is the key to victory or defeat.”
Jin An said in a low voice, stepping down, the ground suddenly cracking, his figure rushing towards the Seraphim like lightning, the sword light dazzling like stars, setting off a reversal battle of his own.
Jin An looked coldly at the Five Elders opposite him, a hint of cold light flashing in his eyes.
He was about to continue his attack when he felt an unusual aura.
“Don't think you're the only one with Haoshoku Haki.”
Jaygarcia Saturn's mouth raised a cold smile, his tone with a hint of contempt and killing intent.
As his voice fell, the Five Elders' aura suddenly changed.
In the next moment, the five of them simultaneously released their own Haoshoku Haki—that power was like a jet-black wave, instantly covering the entire battlefield.
“Boom——!”
The air currents in the world surged violently, and the gale swept like a blade.
The Five Elders' Haki was not only a provocation against Jin An, but also a declaration of their absolute presence to the entire battlefield.
Oppression, heaviness, and suffocation quickly spread, and even the Seraphim in the distance and the soldiers fighting on both sides were shaken by it.
Jaygarcia Saturn stood in place, jet-black Haki spreading from under his feet, like an abyss that devoured everything.
His eyes were cold, as if looking down on the battlefield like ants,
“Jin An, you are just one of the latecomers, and we are the true apex of power on the sea.”
At the same time, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro released Haki like a rainstorm.
His figure stood in the center of the storm, the corners of his mouth curled into a cruel smile, muttering in a low voice,
“In the face of absolute power, so-called resistance is futile.”
Shepherd Ju Peter's eyes were like electricity, his Haki like a bone-chilling wind, every inch of its spread seemed to freeze the air.
He sneered, “Jin An, is your effort really meaningful?”
Five streams of Haoshoku Haki converged, turning into a monstrous power and pressing down on Jin An, even the earth let out a groan of unbearable weight, and cracks continued to spread.
Jin An stood in place, feeling the other party's oppression, he gripped the long sword in his hand, and the ground beneath his feet shattered into dust under the collision of auras.
His Haki was powerful, but facing the joint release of five top powerhouses, the pressure still surged towards him like a tangible object.
“Are you finally serious?”
The corner of Jin An's mouth raised a cold smile, but a strong fighting spirit was revealed in the depths of his eyes,
“However, this level… is not enough.”
He slammed his foot on the ground, the long sword rose, and Haoshoku Haki burst out again.
This time, he completely released his will, colliding head-on with the other party's power.
The two Haki met in mid-air, instantly stirring up a deafening roar.
“Rumble——!”
The gale scattered, dust flew, and the battlefield seemed to be torn apart.
Some of the closer warriors were directly blown away by the impact, and even the Seraphim had to retreat temporarily to avoid the aftermath of the Haki confrontation.
The Five Elders exchanged glances, a hint of surprise and appreciation flashing in their eyes, but more of it was deep killing intent.
Jaygarcia Saturn narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly,
“Able to withstand our Haki, as expected, you are not simple. But, how long can you last?”
Jin An's figure stood in the center of the storm, his long sword pointing at the five people from afar.
He sneered, his voice low but powerful,
“How long to last? Until you fall.”
The Five Elders' Haoshoku Haki gradually converged, and the surrounding air became slightly calm.
But the ground was scarred, with deep cracks and scorched marks everywhere.
Most of the surviving warriors were kneeling on the ground, holding their weapons and panting heavily, and they didn't even have the strength to stand up.
And further away, the Seraphim were still coldly carrying out their mission.
