"Damn it…"
"That damned Fallen Angel!"
"You won’t destroy this pce!"
Hearing El’s arrogant words, not only Admirals Bck Bear and Iron Bo every Marine present gred at him furiously. His overfidence was infuriating—he dared not only to threaten the destru of G-5 Fortress but also to cim he would drive the Marines out of the New World entirely.
"Three cowardly rats…"
In his massive Quetzalcoatl form, El’s colossal body blotted out the sun, exuding an overwhelming aura of dominance. His gaze, cold and mog, shifted to the rear of the fortress, where three figures with impressive yet wary auras lurked.
"Your strength may be g," he sneered, "but you're quite good at running when the wind ges. I hear Rocks has vowed to settle things with you—what are you doing hiding here?"
"How dare you…"
"Stop uimating us!"
"You bastard, Fallen Angel El…"
At the back of the fortress, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and John—three former members of the Rocks Pirates—had been watg from the shadows, hoping to avoid getting involved. Now, enraged by El’s taunts, they stepped forward, their faces twisted with anger as they gred at him.
Just then, a Marine Vice Admiral rushed over, holding an official dot from the Wover.
"Shichibukai, you ’t sit this o!" he announced loudly. "The Wover has issued a mandatory summons. You are required to assist the Marines in repelling Fallen Angel El’s invasion and in holding G-5 Fortress until reinforts arrive."
"What?"
"I refuse!"
Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and John immediately rejected the order without hesitation. They were furious at El’s arroga had no iion of helping the Marines fight such a mo was a thaask.
"The Wover has also said that if you cooperate," the Vice Admiral tinued coldly, "they will overlook your previous thefts of Heavenly Tribute. Otherwise, your Shichibukai titles will be revoked immediately. You've already angered Rocks—if you antagohe Wover as well, there will be no pce for you on these seas."
"Damned Marines…"
"Are you threatening us?"
"You think we scare that easily?"
The three pirates bristled with fury, their murderous i directed at the Vice Admiral. Rebellious by nature, they had betrayed Rocks due to their unwillio bow to anyone. Although they tolerated the Shichibukai title, they had never inteo serve the Wover obediently.
"This isn’t a threat," the Vice Admiral replied, maintaining his posure despite the suffog pressure. "It’s an order from the Wover. Whether you ply is up to you."
Around them, heavily armed Marines raised their ons nervously, eyeing Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and John with caution. Dealing with El alohe so-called “stro creature in the world”—was already terrifying. Adding three powerful pirates to the mix made the situation even more precarious.
"Three mutts without the ce to face the Marines head-on," El’s voied from above.
His massive form began to shrink rapidly, returning to his humanoid shape. T ers tall, with bck wings and a mane of fire casg down his back, El exuded an aura of invincibility.
Looking down at Admirals Bck Bear and Iron Bone, who stood firm and unyielding, he smirked. "So, this is your answer, is it?"
"Justice will never bow to evil!"
"Don’t uimate us, pirate!"
The two Admirals stared him down, their expressions resolute.
"Very well…"
El nodded and narrowed his eyes.
"BOOM!"
A terrifying wave of queror’s Haki erupted from him, sweeping across the entire isnd like a monstrous beast.
The fortress shook violently as the overwhelming force spread outward. Massive waves ed on the sea, and powerful winds tore through the area. Warships rocked untrolbly, some even breaking apart uhe sheer pressure.
Buildings cracked and colpsed, and many Marines fell unscious instantly, foaming at the mouth. Even some Vice Admirals couldn’t withstand the pressure and fainted.
"This… monster!"
"His queror’s Haki is this strong?"
"So, this is the power of the world’s stro creature…"
The remaining sariared at El in disbelief, their faces pale with fear.
"Stand back!" Bck Bear anded.
"This monster isn’t someone you handle!"
Without hesitation, Bck Bear and Iron Bone charged forward together.
"BANG! BANG!"
El casually raised his left arm and right leg, each shrouded in queror’s Haki, effortlessly blog both Admirals’ attacks. The impact sent the two flying backward, skidding across the ground as they struggled to steady themselves.
"You two alone won’t be enough. Bring those three cowards into the fight as well."
Drawing his luxurious, gem-encrusted royal sword, Jiaolong, El poi not only at the Admirals but also at Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and John.
"Let’s see if all of you together make this iing."
"Yant bastard!" Silver Axe roared.
"Do you think being Lunarian makes you invincible?"
Ehe three pirates—who had initially po feign cooperation—now charged at El with murderous i. bined with the Admirals, they prepared to face him head-on.
El, unfazed, smiled disdainfully.
"e at me with everything you’ve got. Amuse me… if you ."
Raising his sword high, he unleashed a terrifying aura.
"Elbaf Spear—"
His goal was clear: not to kill but to obliterate the entire fortress. Whether his oppos survived was irrelevant. By day’s end, G-5 Fortress would be reduced to rubble, no matter who stood in his way.
The devastating energy from his bde surged outward, and all who stood against him could only brace themselves for the onsught.
"Hakoku!!"
