Chapter 708 Heading to War
"Young Master! I'm so sorry, so sorry!!"

At the summit of a mountain towering a thousand meters high, Ah Long, kneeling in the black mud, could only be described as filled with remorse.

His boss had already warned him that Teach was no less capable than a veteran Ghost-level fighter in terms of both strength and intelligence; he was told not to act rashly, and even if he were to eliminate the enemy's forces, he must team up with Roman.

However, Aaron persisted in his own way and easily fell into Teach's hands, thus igniting this great battle.

"Young Master, everyone!"

"This is not the time to cry," Ah Long gritted his teeth, his eyes red, and shouted loudly.
"Thank you for coming to save me, but it's not necessary!"

?

The many extraordinary beings and sea kingdoms who landed on the sea looked up in confusion at the figure kneeling on the mountaintop, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"This is the result of my unauthorized actions; please go back—"

"No,"

Floating a thousand meters above the ground on the edge of Mount Suzuka, where it is level with the mountains, the young lord of the Sea Kingdom, leaning on the divine sword "Kenmeiren," calmly interrupted A-Long's crying words.

"I sent you to teach the traitors of the Sea Kingdom a lesson."

? ?
"No, it is clearly true."

Just as A-Long was about to retort, Ōtakemaru's voice rang out across the entire battlefield.

"Kyujira, it was I who ordered Arlong to eliminate Teach's forces, right?"

"Yes, my lord."

On the sea below, Kyukira, dressed as a samurai, answered without hesitation.

"You ordered Ah Long to come."

???

"Ah Long, it looks like you've suffered quite a bit."

On the other side, the crab princess, dressed in a pink kimono and carrying a conch hammer, scooped out a large number of sea creatures and sea kings using bubbles; she also spoke.

"Everyone in the world knows that our Sea Kingdom is the most united!"

Leaving one's companion in distress is not the style of the Sea Kingdom.

"Wait a moment, we'll come to rescue you right away."

On Mount Suzuka, Luffy and Roman also reached the edge.

"Ah Long, we'll give Teach a good beating after we get out! For now, you just need to trust us—"

"Oh my gosh, this is our 'Sea Kingdom'!"

'KYG' flying in the air with its arms outstretched.

"World, do you see?"

He didn't follow the wrong person in KYG!
"That's right——"

"Brother Long, we've come to save you!"

On the high seas, a chorus of shouts erupted from the ranks of the Sea Kingdoms: "Aron may be a 'racist,' but on the other hand, he takes good care of the Sea Kingdoms."

"They only lost some vehicles; our real fighting strength lies with us!"

"Men, knives in hand, follow me—"

"Kill Teach, save Aaron!"

Jumping out of the crashed ground effect vehicle

The extraordinary individuals in the non-professional waters also drew their weapons and raised their arms in a shout.

The superhumans themselves are the strongest weapons. Now that the leaders have spoken, what else is there for them to hesitate about?

Just do it and it’s done!
"The morale of the Hai Kingdom is very high."

"Although we were caught off guard, in a three-on-three situation, Haiguo still has the advantage!"

"We were careless. After the Yamata no Orochi failed to revive, its power not only expanded the planet, but also left a portion for the 'Eight Heroes'."

Among the Sea Kingdom's forces were numerous 'war correspondents' who truthfully relayed everything back, causing a great deal of discussion among the many extraordinary 'big shots' gathered at the High School of Spellcasting: what was originally thought to be a crushing victory actually seemed to have a bit of a 'evenly matched' feel to it?

"Speaking of which, why are these eight heroes gathered here?"

Will he help Teach?

While Teach's strength is not weak, he is 'merely' a Demon-level.

The newly formed 'Eight Heroes' now includes three Dragon-level fighters: with such strength, how could they possibly be at Teach's mercy?

unless--

“Young Master of the Sea Kingdom, you are too arrogant.”

A green dragon, winding its way through the clouds in the sky, slowly opened its mouth.
“When our master was eradicating the pests of this world, you interfered with his power and protected the humans in that sea.”

? !
Yes,

Regardless of the numerous extraordinary individuals on the sea,
Even the dignitaries and ordinary people from various countries who followed the live stream suddenly realized the truth.

Some time ago, the 'Yamata no Orochi' that was resurrected from the underworld wiped out half of the ordinary people with a wave of its hand.

But in places like Tokyo, Cairo, and even New York, where dragons reside, ordinary people can escape unscathed: when the 'King of Hell' from the island nation later appeared, he only resurrected more than 80 million believers who held 'hell' in awe.

However, there is one place: those in the non-Libyan waters were not eliminated either.

Moreover, its area is much larger than that of cities like Tokyo and Cairo, which is why the population of the entire Libyan Sea is soaring.

Now it seems that the interference caused by the Ōtakemaru siblings has come at a price:
That makes sense!

In that instant of realization, countless people felt only a chilling coldness in their hearts.

To the demons, ordinary people are nothing more than ants to be easily wiped out—and even offering them protection will be punished!
Just like Prometheus in the legend, who stole fire for mankind, Zeus ordered him to be tied to the top of Mount Caucasus, where eagles would eat his entrails day and night, forever and ever.

"Indiscriminately annihilating humans," "Compared to your master, Brother Ōtakemaru is indeed better."

He crouched down, clenched his fist and placed it on the ground. As he half-squatted, Luffy's body suddenly swelled and contracted.

Boom! !

Amidst the resounding heartbeats of the battlefield, a cloud of dust billowed out; Luffy, his skin now flushed pink, looked up and his gaze fell upon Teach atop the opposite mountain peak.

"I'm sorry, Ah Long."

He's going to kill Teach right now!
call out----------

The next moment, a straight red beam of light suddenly shot out!

With all six gates open, Luffy's straight-line speed had already reached more than ten times the speed of sound: just by charging out, he created a cone-shaped white sonic boom that spread outwards through the air!

Like an arrow shot by a god, piercing through heaven and earth, slaying everything in its path.

Bang! ! ! !

However, this unparalleled, ghost-level attack was intercepted halfway through.

Luffy's outstretched fist was caught by a large hand: the instant the fist touched the hand, two incredibly powerful forces compressed the air into a small, circular energy field.

This illusory circle existed for only a moment, and then, under the pressure of two forces that surpassed the level of a demon, it spread out vertically from the fist and palm!

crackling and popping

The jet-black lightning centered on the fist and palm.
Countless cracks radiated out recklessly, spreading like the sun.

In an instant, this 'black sun', confined to a two-dimensional plane, spread rapidly, shattering the world into fragments: the sky, the clouds, the sea, and the mountains.
The next moment, Luffy's fist pushed the 'Black Sun' towards the opponent! It seemed that this tall figure blocking the way was about to be completely shattered by the Black Flash along with the half of the world he was in!

"Hey, what incredible strength!"

However, there was no fear in the other person's tone, only excitement.

Snapped,

With his other hand covering the back of Luffy's fist, the opponent used both palms to forcefully block Luffy's sixth punch.

Snapped! !

With the third hand on top, the three arms exerted force and suddenly lifted up!

?

The pitch-black lightning suddenly crashed down towards Luffy, forcing him to dodge and retreat.

crackling and popping—

The pitch-black 'lightning' was essentially a spatial rift, which quickly vanished into nothingness as the caster withdrew.

In other words, if the battlefield is in the air, but on the sea: the area swept by these black lightning bolts would be an absolute no-go zone for all superhumans below the Ghost level.

Thump,

"Humans, not bad for strength;"

With a stomp of his foot, the voice of an admiring figure rang out.

Thump,

"Come on, let me see where your limits are!"

The figure that was blocking the way leaped through the air, stomping down with terrifying force, using even the air as a stepping stone.

"who are you?"

Using the same technique, take a step in the air.
Turning back, Luffy seriously examined the extraordinary being before him.

"Hey, my name is 'Super Strength'!"

The extraordinary being that stopped Luffy had a human appearance, wore a golden belt, and had a muscular lower body that shimmered with black light; its upper body was also extremely well-built and human-like, but it had four arms; its head looked somewhat like a crocodile, with three tile-like protrusions on its head that resembled a hairstyle.

"The Eight Heroes represent the pinnacle of 'strength,' and their favorite pastime is arm wrestling. You—"

Can you beat me?
Brush, ×2
Next second,
The two figures flashed and clashed fiercely in the air once again!
On one side is Luffy, who has opened six of the Eight Gates, and on the other side is "Monster Strength," whose body possesses "Monster Strength" and "Steel Release."

There were no fancy moves on either side, only pure, unadulterated power! The aftershocks of their clash alone sent shockwaves spreading outwards, causing the clouds to disperse and the sea to surge; they were also mixed with streaks of black lightning.

Even across the vast ocean, thousands of meters apart, the extraordinary individuals and the people of the sea kingdom all looked up in awe.

If you get caught up in such a battlefield, you'll die instantly!

"Don't be afraid, there are at most eight of them."

The creature in the sky called "Mighty" introduced itself as one of the "Eight Warriors," and together with the flying dragon in the clouds, the whale in the sea, and "Grodora" on the lava mountain, four groups of the Eight Warriors have now appeared.

"The Eight Heroes will be left to the young master and the others!"

"Let's charge!"

"Kill Teach—"

"Hmph~~ Compare numbers? Are you guys stupid?"

Inside the crater a thousand meters high, the 'Gudora' dragon, half-submerged in lava, had a face full of disdain.

"Don't forget, this is our territory! Come on, Legion of Nature!!"

As the wingless dragon raised its head and roared,
Countless rays of light descended from above.

No, those weren't lights, but rather rare and exotic beasts radiating 'spiritual power'.

Giant rats engulfed in flames, giant spiders with long horns on their heads, western dragons covered in lightning, and even giant tortoises with giant trees on their shells, and super-giant blue bears with vast expanses of land on their chests and shoulders, where numerous small rare beasts leap, resembling mountains.

"Eliminate these humans and rid our master of nature's parasites!"

At the command of 'Gudora' in the magma, these strange and exotic beasts that descended from the sky immediately pounced on the extraordinary beings, sea creatures, and sea kings on the sea.

A massive battle between extraordinary legions erupted on the spot!
