One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 280 The Power of the Heavenly King
"Too dangerous!"

"They must be killed here!"

"at all costs!"

"Rod must die!"

Facing Rhodes' sweeping power, the Five Elders and the Knights of God lost their former calmness.

As the privileged class among the privileged class of the Celestial Dragons, whether they are the members of the Knights of God or the Five Elders, they all belong to the top group of people in this world.

Whether they are looking at the navy or pirates, they always maintain a condescending attitude.

However, their pride and indifference disappeared completely when facing Rhode.

Bloodline, identity, status, these things are meaningless in the face of absolute power.

Under the tyrant fist, everyone is equal!
If it weren't for the power bestowed upon them by Lord Im, they would probably have been wiped out by now.

However, with the blessing of immortality, they will definitely be the ones who win in the end.

With the fearless fighting of the Knights of God and the Five Elders, the balance of victory seemed to slowly tip towards victory.

Scars began to appear on Rhodes' body, and his movements gradually slowed down.

Everyone who noticed this showed surprise on their faces and continued to increase the intensity of their attacks.

However, as the battle escalated, they gradually sensed that something was wrong.

Although Rhodes also had many injuries on his body and his movements gradually slowed down, the situation where they themselves were swept and severely injured did not change.

On the contrary, it is happening more and more frequently!

Why, the more Rhodes fought and the more injured he was, the stronger he became!

happy!

Rhodes punched one of the Five Elders away, with only this thought left in his mind.

The battle in Marinford is becoming more and more intense, with people dying every minute and every second. It seems that more than half of the 3,000 special ability soldiers brought by Kaido have been damaged.

As for those artificial devil fruit users, Rod had added ingredients to the devil fruits they ate - fragments of his soul.

As they used their fruit abilities, developed their fruit abilities, trained, and fought, Rhodes' soul fragments gradually permeated their souls, leaving their marks on their souls and assimilated them bit by bit.

And when they died, their assimilated soul power, under the guidance of the [Soul-Soul Fruit], all turned into nourishment for Rhodes' growth.

Therefore, when the war started, when Kaido led his army of special ability users to join the battle, and when large numbers of casualties began to fall on both sides, Rod's soul power grew stronger at a terrifying speed.

Almost every minute and every second, Rhodes could feel the strength of his soul increasing, and it was driving the increase of his physical limits.

And every bit of damage inflicted on Rhodes by the Five Elders and the Knights of God was fuel for him to continue to grow stronger.

[What doesn't kill me will make me stronger] This ability worked crazily, improving Rhodes' physical fitness with unprecedented efficiency.

When more than half of the members of the Marinford Beasts Pirates were killed or injured, Rod's strength had increased several times compared to the beginning of the war. Even the Five Elders or the elites of the Knights of God could no longer cause any harm to him.

"Ba Fist!"

After kicking away an unknown member of the Knights of God, Rhodes leaped high into the air, with terrifying power gathering in his fist. Although his fist had not been swung out yet, the terrifying aura had already emanated from it, causing the faces of the people below to change drastically.

"Fist controls the world!"

The iron fist was swung out suddenly, and a strong impact erupted instantly, accompanied by powerful domineering, just like a meteorite falling from the sky, covering the Five Elder Stars and the Knights of God all under the force of the fist.

Boom! ! !
Amid the violent roar, the entire Marijoa began to tremble, and the entire flower garden was instantly reduced to ruins. A huge hole was hammered out on the reddish-brown ground, and the Five Elders and the Knights of God were like traces smeared on the ground.

“It’s like the power of God!”

The members of the Rod Pirates who had moved to a distant place in time were also staring at the scene in amazement.

"Boss Rhodes, are you already that strong!?"

Bonis began to doubt his life.

He has been diligent and hardworking enough, maintaining high-intensity training every day, and even developed the ability of the fruit to the point of awakening, but even so, the gap in strength between him and Boss Rhodes is getting bigger and bigger.

"Anyway, we won the war."

Nia spoke in a tone that was unclear whether it was happy or sad.

This was supposed to be a battle that would shock the world, it was supposed to be a battle full of danger, and she was even prepared to die in the battle.

However, with the unrivaled power displayed by Rhodes, the battle seemed to be coming to an end.

"not yet!"

Nalu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he sensed an ominous aura.

The next moment, accompanied by a terrifying aura, an unknown attack suddenly erupted from a distance. The powerful impact crossed the long distance and directly hit Rhodes in mid-air the moment Neru felt it.

!!!

A tremendous force came crashing down, instantly knocking Rhodes' body flying.

As if he was bound tightly by an unknown force, Rhodes was unable to move at this moment. He was pushed by the strong shock wave, passing through the Red Earth Continent and launched towards Qinghai.

"This is···!!!"

Everyone in the Rod Pirates' group looked horrified as they watched this sudden scene in shock.

A huge hole suddenly appeared on the red soil continent.

The entrance of the cave ran diagonally through the red soil continent from where they were. From where they were standing, they could even see the blue sea below through the entrance.

The sudden unknown attack not only knocked Rhodes away, but also pierced through the red earth continent that had existed for who knows how long.

"Rod!"

Naylu's body instantly turned into lightning, passed through the hole in front of him, and rushed towards the direction where Rhodes was knocked away.

Just as the others were about to take action, the Five Elder Stars, who had recovered, surrounded them.

"According to Lord Yimu's orders, you will be completely exterminated here!"

"So, the weapons we just used can't be used without limit, right?"

Gray's eyes flashed with realization.

Although I don't know the specific situation, the attack just now was definitely not something that could be done by human power. It was probably done by the last ancient weapon whose whereabouts are unknown - the King of Heaven.

The World Government possesses such a powerful weapon, but does not use it often. It seems that this weapon cannot be used lightly.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the Five Elders to take action. As long as the weapon that knocked Rhodes away fired another shot, they would definitely be annihilated in an instant.

"In that case."

Gray stretched out his hand and pressed his chest. A blue light flashed, and all kinds of things emerged from all parts of his body. In the blink of an eye, they were combined into a huge robot. Its posture was even better than that of Tesoro, who had turned into a golden giant next to him.

"Come and try my unlimited weapons!"

···
Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

With the Beasts Pirates led by Kaido joining the battle, those crazy and fanatical artificial Devil Fruit users directly escalated the intensity of the battle, and the flesh-and-flesh combat turned the entire Marineford into a meat grinder, with people dying every minute and every second.

Although the members of the Beasts Pirates fought more frantically and were quite powerful, the Navy had nearly 100,000 soldiers, all elites recruited from all over the world, and their strength was not bad. As the battle progressed, it was obvious that the Beasts Pirates had already lost!

Even Kaido, the King of Beasts, and Whitebeard, who remained behind, were powerless against the combined forces of Marshal Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp.

"No, I can't fight anymore!"

On the battlefield, Coby held his head in his hands, his face full of pain.

He activated his Observation Haki during this war. The uncontrollable Observation Haki transmitted all the tragic situations around him into his mind, causing him to fall into deep pain and he was almost unable to bear it.

The pirates were already at a disadvantage, but they were still fighting bravely; and the navy, which had the advantage, had no intention of capturing the pirates alive. They gritted their teeth and just wanted to kill the enemy in front of them completely.

In this battle, everyone had friends killed by the other side, and everyone had killed other people's best friends.

The hatred that was so thick that it was almost insoluble floated on the battlefield, turning everyone into monsters who only knew how to kill the enemy.

Except Kirby!

He just wants to stop this war!

“Don’t—!”

Bang! !

A fist rolling with molten lava pierced through Coby's chest, and the scorching breath burned his body to ashes in an instant.

"You deserted the battlefield and disturbed the morale of the army. You deserve to be killed!"

Akainu's expression was cold.

"And you, Tyrant Fist Rod!"

Akainu turned and looked at Rhodes.

"You are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The Navy summoned you here to help kill pirates, not to let you travel on the battlefield!"

"Do you choose to fight the pirates together with the navy, or do you choose to be a pirate and be fought by the navy?"

With a cold expression on his face and hot magma rolling on his arms, Akainu stared at "Rod" not far away, waiting for the other party's answer.

He had heard a lot about Tyrant Rod's information and legends, and knew that he was a difficult character.

However, this is not a reason to let the other party go!

Although Whitebeard and Kaido are not weak, they are doomed to lose as they are surrounded by the navy!
After getting rid of these two people, the only so-called Pirate Emperor left is Red-Haired Shanks.

The Seraph developed by the World Government has also taken shape, and together with the navy it is enough to intimidate the entire ocean.

Under such circumstances, there is no need for the Seven Warlords of the Sea to exist anymore.

It's time to put an end to this together and kill all these scum of the sea right here!

Facing Akainu's questioning, "Rod" remained silent and watched the changes on the battlefield quietly.

"Won't you answer?"

Haki and magma were surging wildly on Akainu's body.

"Then you have chosen to be wiped out!"

Under the impact of the magma explosion, Akainu's body rushed out instantly and appeared directly in front of Rhodes. Magma surged on his swung fist, and the terrifying explosive force was brewing an earth-shaking momentum.

"Ming dog!!"

The sword flashed, autumn water crossed the sky, and a black slash was swung out, blocking Akainu's attack, but "Rod"'s body retreated again and again.

"Nothing more than that!"

After the strike, Akainu curled up his lips into a sneer and swung his burning iron fist again.

when! !

A Western sword stretched out from the side and blocked Akainu's attack.

"Red hair!!"

Akainu spoke the name of the visitor in a low voice.

At the same time, several figures appeared on the battlefield, and the Red Hair Pirates appeared!
"Here comes another one!"

"All the Pirate Emperors have appeared!"

"Ruined!"

The morale of the navy who had suppressed the Beasts Pirates fell again.

Unlike the Whitebeard Pirates, which only has Whitebeard left, the Red Hair Pirates have all their members on the scene, which is a powerful force that can change the situation of the battle.

"Have you decided to join this war too?"

Akainu looked at the red-haired boy.

"I'm not here to fight in a war!"

After forcing Akainu back, Red Hair secretly glanced at "Rod" and was slightly relieved to see that the other party was not hurt.

If Ba Quan gets involved, this war will be even more difficult to end.

Suppressing his emotions, Red waved Griffin in his hand and lifted it up slightly.

"I'm here to stop the war!"

“Enough people have died in this war, whether it’s pirates or navy, too many people have lost their lives.

Give me some face, and let this meaningless war end here!"

Saying "give me a favor" while doing so, Red Hair released his extremely powerful domineering aura without reservation. A strong sense of oppression spread throughout the battlefield, declaring the power of the Pirate Emperor to everyone.

"If anyone still wants to continue fighting, I will be your opponent!"

With the appearance of the Red Hair Pirates, the navy that had been overwhelmed by the battle slowly calmed down. They finally had time to think about how many good friends had died in this war, how many families had been broken because of this war, and a strong sense of grief emerged in everyone's heart.

Sengoku and Garp looked at each other, they could feel the change in the navy soldiers' emotions.

The soldiers no longer wanted to fight.

!!!

A dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

It was a ray of light that appeared directly from the distant sky. The moment everyone noticed it, a huge beam of light had already landed on the square of Marinford. A terrifying roar erupted instantly, and the strong impact made it almost impossible for everyone to stand firm.

The light faded, and a huge pit appeared in everyone's sight. Everything that was originally on the square disappeared without a trace, as if it had been wiped off the map by someone with absolute power.

“What the hell is going on!?”

Kaido's voice was the first to sound, breaking the silence of Marinford.

This impact came from nowhere and covered the Beasts Pirates' army of capable people within its attack range.

Under that tremendous force, the army of people with special abilities that had taken two years to build up was almost wiped out.
