"Waaah—!"

  At that moment, without any prior warning, the sea began te violently.

  A massive wave, over a thousaers wide and two to three hundred meters high, rose abruptly.

  "Ooooh~~~ Die!!!"

  The wave morphed into a personified, devilish face, grinning malevolently as it transformed into a t tsunami.

  Blog out the sky, it bore down on Saint Mars and the rest of the Wover’s forces on the shore. Their expressions drastically ged as the wall of water crashed toward them.

  "What!?"

  "That’s…"

  "A Homie made of seawater!?"

  The sky darkened ominously as the terrifying wave approached, its sheer size signaling the end of the world.

  Evero members of the Wover’s forces wideheir eyes in shod panibsp;

  "Damn, that’s impressive!"

  Even Roger, locked in his battle with Garp, couldn’t help but marvel.

  "Good thing we’re not their enemies," Rayleigh muttered, wiping sweat from his brow. The wise strategist of the Roger Pirates looked grave.

  If they had ever crossed paths with the Fallen Angel Pirates, not even nine lives would have been enough to survive.

  Sharing a gh the equally stunned Scaban, Rayleigh resolved that offending the Fallen Angel Pirates was tantamount to c death.

  "These Fallen Angel lunatics…!"

  "Heat Breath!!!"

  In respoo the tsunami, two massive figures shot into the sky.

  Saint Mars, transformed into the fiery bird-like Itsumade, and Saint Muner, in his Azure Dragon form, roared as they opeheir colossal jaws.

  Two beams of blinding firelight erupted, smming into the oning wave.

  "Boom!!!"

  The tsunami exploded on impact, sending water and steam flying in all dires. The enormous wave dissipated, its remnants casg harmlessly into the sea.

  "Swish—"

  Just then, the fmes behind El’s head flickered out. Transitioning from his near-invincible defeate to maximum offensive mode, El shifted into his hybrid beast form.

  Electric sparks danced across his body as El strubsp;

  "Heh-heh-heh—"

  With a single, forceful beat of his four wings, El became a streak of pure speed—fast as lightning and impossible to trabsp;

  His massive Dragon Halberd, crag with bd red lightning, swung down mercilessly on the Azure Dragon.

  The attack was devastating, unstoppable, and precise.

  "What!?"

  Caught off guard, Saint Muner parapped in his enormous dragon form, he rime target for El’s onsught.

  "Damn it… Fming Beak!!"

  Saint Mars’s expression darkened as he fpped his fiery wings, rocketing forward with incredible speed.

  His razor-sharp beak, cloaked in powerful Haki and surrounded by bzing fmes, became a deadly spear aimed directly at El.

  "Boom!!!"

  A massive explosioed in the sky.

  The once-majestic Azure Dragon, Saint Muner, let out a heart-wreng roar of agony. Blood sprayed everywhere as El’s halberd tore through his massive form, leaving a gaping wound that nearly disemboweled him. The mighty dragon plummeted from the sky.

  "Bang!!!"

  At the same time, Saint Mars’s fiery spear smmed into El’s chest.

  Though it failed to pee the armor-like scales of El’s Lunarian body, the impact was so powerful that it sent shockwaves through his entire frame.

  El spat out a mouthful of blood as he was hurled backward like a onball, crashing violently into the ground.

  "Elbaf Spear: Mighty Nation!!"

  Mid-air, El, blood trig from the er of his mouth, burned with unbridled ferocity and killing i.

  Electricity crackled violently across his body, surging through his cells and fueling his attabsp;

  Gripping his massive Dragon Halberd, he unleashed a devastating, thunder-den strike toward the plummeting Azure Dragon, unwilling to let up.

  "Boom—"

  The atmosphere itself ierced as a colossal energy wave roared forward, unstoppable and deadly.

  "Fming Rush!"

  Saint Mars, in his Itsumade form, dove down with a beat of his fiery wings.

  Spewing forth an enormous pilr of fme that rivaled the Azure Dragon’s Heat Breath, Mars’s attack collided head-on with the drical shockwave from El’s halberd.

  "Boom! Boom!"

  Fire erupted, and scorg heat waves rolled outward.

  The overwhelming sword energy obliterated Saint Mars’s fire pilr, tearing through it effortlessly.

  The shockwave surged forward, ripping through the air toward the heavily injured Azure Dragon.

  "Boom… BOOM!"

  The o boiled, and violent waves ed in its wake.

  A massive trench carved its way across the sea, leaving onlookers drenched in cold sweat, their scalps tingling with dread.

  "Crash!"

  Suddenly, a gargantuan stone haed from the ground.

  It seized Saint Muner, who had reverted to his human-dragon hybrid state. His eyes rolled back, and his body, drenched in blood, was smmed into the o.

  "Damn it!!"

  Blood gushed from Saint Muner’s mouth as he roared in fury.

  Struggling violently, his blue-scaled body fought against the massive stone hand.

  "Storm Leg: Wind Tempest!"

  A barrage of cutting wind strikes severed the stone hand.

  Bloodied and gasping, Saint Muner kicked off the air, desperately attempting to retreat to the shore.

  "Guuu… guu…"

  But the o roared.

  From its depths, massive, terrifying sea beasts emerged, lunging for Saint Muner with snapping jaws.

  Forced to retreat further, Muner found himself encircled.

  "Heh-heh-heh…"

  Out of nowhere, a figure bck armor, face obscured by a mask, and bearing bck wings appeared at blinding speed.

  "Divine Judgment!!"

  A blinding pilr of divine light erupted, radiating purifying energy as it hurtled toward Saint Muner.

  "What!?"

  "Saint Muner!!"

  "That ability… Could it be…?"

  Saint Muner’s pupils tracted in shock. The other leaders of the Wover—including SteelBone Kong, Hammons William, and Saint Denis—froze in disbelief.

  "Boom—"

  The holy light surged with terrifying speed.

  Barely avoiding it, Saint Muner kicked off again, narrowly evading the divi by mere inches.

  "Crash… Crash…"

  Water exploded upward as the o seethed with waves.

  "Guuu~~~ You’re not esg me!"

  From the water, an enormous, personified demonic visage formed, its malevolent grin stretg wide as a massive hand of seawater shot up and grabbed Saint Muner.

  Drenched ier, Saint Muner’s body turned limp as the Seastone-like properties of the water drained his strength.

  Uo muster resistance, he was dragged beh the waves, rendered helpless.

  The se stunned everyone.

  A powerful Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon ability user, defeated so decisively and dragged into the sea, was unthinkable.

  Evero among the Wover’s forces could do nothing but gape in shock, their faces pale.

  The entire sequence of events—El’s devastating terattack, the sudden appearance of the holy light, and Saint Muner’s watery demise—had unfolded in the blink of an eye.

  Even the most seasoned warriors had no time to react, let aloervene.
