Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 640 The Battle of the Monsters
The two sides stood motionless, separated by half a street, each cautiously waiting.

The raging fire had gradually engulfed most of Mary Geoise. Revolutionary Army soldiers desperately took away all the slaves and residents who were forced to work there, while the CP organization tacitly took away World Government officials and the remaining Celestial Dragon family members, leaving the entire city a ghost town.

There was no further communication, and it's unclear who took the first step.

The two groups, which had been eerily quiet, suddenly charged at each other at the same time.

In just a moment, the terrifying shockwave from the collision leveled all the buildings in the entire block.

The dissipating storm even extinguished the surrounding flames, and rubble shot out like bullets through the thick smoke.

The clash of Conqueror's Haki from more than ten people produced an unprecedented collision, tearing the clouds in the sky into different shapes.

Dark red lightning, a dominant color, wove into a net across the sky. Each collision produced a muffled, thunderous roar, causing even the red earth beneath the foundations of Mary Geoise to tremble.

Garp's feet were firmly planted on the ruins, his Navy Justice Cloak fluttering in the air currents, and Armament Haki condensed into a thick metallic color on his iron fist. The old marine laughed wildly and leaped high into the air. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to God Valley, to the tragedy that he could not stop and could only watch helplessly.

But this time, it's different!
"Fist bone!"

Garp's figure weaved through the swirling boulders, his iron fists, coated in metallic Armament Haki, repeatedly pounding out with a force that could shake the red clay.

Nasujuro's centaur-like body unleashed astonishing mobility. Pale purple sword energy intertwined into a dense net, and in the core area where it collided with the fist wind, the air was compressed to the extreme before suddenly exploding, forming ring-shaped air waves.

Wherever the blast wave passed, the exposed red soil was lifted several meters high, and gullies spread outwards like a spider web. The original remaining building foundations were completely crushed and swept into the sky along with gravel and dust.

The azure hurricane surrounding the dragon had expanded to a range of tens of meters. High-concentration wind blades pierced through the air waves, tearing apart the oncoming attacks and scattering them in all directions across the battlefield.

The wind blades landed on the red soil, carving deep, unfathomable marks; they struck the suspended pebbles, crushing them into dust; and they swept up the scattered flames in the distance, transforming into whirlwinds carrying sparks that engulfed the entire ruins.

Rayleigh brandished his longsword, and his slashes cut through obstacles like flowing water. The aftershocks of his sword energy grazed the ground, shaving away a layer of thick red soil. Jabba's axe struck the air barrier in front of him, and in the instant his Haki erupted, all the floating rubble around him shattered, turning into sand and gravel everywhere.

The clash between the more than twenty top experts intensified, and the dark red lightning in the sky had merged into one, dyeing the entire sky above Mary Geoise a dark blood color.

Lightning flashed and disappeared repeatedly in the ruins, stirring up towering red soil and dust, while igniting the remaining combustibles underground. Flames and hurricanes intertwined, forming pillars of fire that spun and rose into the air.

When the battle broke out, Im seemed to completely ignore the war and simply turned and left.

Li Xia followed suit, but the scattered fist winds, slashes, shattered stones, and thick smoke were blocked by an invisible wall and vanished without a trace before reaching him.

His actions seemed to trigger a switch, and the Five Elders and the Knights of God unexpectedly abandoned their opponents and rushed towards Li Xia.

The Five Elders, now in a semi-monstrous form, were surrounded by clouds of various colors, and the weapons in their hands were also imbued with an aura of dominance, gleaming with a chilling light.

"Rayleigh! Jabba!"

A flash of dark red Observation Haki appeared in Shanks' eyes, and the ground beneath his feet cracked open as he instantly rushed in front of Li Xia.

Rayleigh and Jabba both grinned and leaped into the air, already gripping their weapons mid-air.

Conqueror's Haki surged around his body, then combined with Armament Haki to wrap around his double axes and longsword.

"God avoids!"

"The Blade of the Other Shore!"

"Eighty-year-old warlord, Axe Heaven Music!"

The strongest combination technique of the Roger Pirates disappeared after the crew disbanded and Roger died, but it has reappeared in Mary Geoise at this moment.

Three different, terrifyingly powerful slashes intersected and converged in mid-air, silently annihilating everything in their path.

The Five Elders' expressions changed drastically. Even if they were immortal, being hit by an attack of this magnitude would definitely not be a pleasant experience.

In that split second, they too gripped their weapons.

A strange power was gathering, and some of the Five Elders even began to sprout bizarre limbs:
"Same Star, Heaven and Earth Useless!"

The jet-black power surged forth instantly, transforming into a jet-black pillar of light that collided with the slashes unleashed by Shanks, Rayleigh, and Jabba.

Mary Geoise seemed to fall silent for a moment; the crackling of flames, the deafening roar of collapsing buildings, and the buzzing of collisions created an atmosphere as if the entire battlefield had fallen into absolute silence.

Then, in a sudden flash of light, the world's colors were stripped away, leaving only pure white and black.

"boom!"

A terrifying power, accompanied by dark red lightning, transformed into an all-consuming sphere of light. Everything it touched seemed to be wiped off the face of the earth, and the entire Mary Geoise trembled.

The near-violent airflow generated by the collision swept the surrounding air and dust into the sky. The thick clouds in the sky had long been torn into cotton-like pieces by the domineering force, and then were directly dispersed in this terrifying collision, turning into water vapor that was invisible to the naked eye.

Both sides were pushed apart by this force, and as the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, everyone present had a moment of shock.

The area within a radius of over a thousand meters had been flattened by the aftershocks of the collision. At the center of the impact was an enormous crater, from which wisps of smoke rose.

Li Xia seemed not to see it at all. He raised his head and stared at the distant Pangu City. Behind him, a pair of dazzling and magnificent wings of light spread out, with endless streams of light flowing behind him. The wings formed seemed to illuminate even the dark red sky.

People around the world watching the live broadcast stared in disbelief as Li Xia slowly lifted off the ground and hovered in mid-air with the help of the light wings.

At this moment, the pair of wings of light from the divine realm finally accomplished what their former owner had failed to do.

That is to stage a breathtaking 'wings unfolding' under the watchful eyes of the entire world.

Not only did the whole world fall silent, but even Li Xia's teammates were seeing him spread his wings for the first time.

Under the sacred glow, Li Xia flew directly toward Pangu City with a posture that would make the apostles of the divine kingdom envious. The light wings were originally a tool used to show the 'nobility' of the apostles of the divine kingdom, a way for them to show their 'divinity', but they rarely received such attention.

Bathed in the radiance cast by his wings, Li Xia's true qi surged, and in an instant, he transformed into a streak of light that shot straight toward Pangu City.

Green and Shamrock reacted quickly, shouting as they crossed their swords, unleashing a sharp slash towards Li Xia.

But Garp's laughter followed immediately, and he and Dragon, father and son, unleashed dark red punches from the left and right. "Fist Bone Impact!"

"Dragon Claw Fist - Seal of the Dragon!"

The terrifying shockwave shook the entire Mary Geoise once again, but Li Xia was incredibly fast, traversing the thousands of meters in just a few seconds.

"Damn-"

The Five Elders and the Knights of God, seeing Li Xia hovering in front of Pangu City with his wings still radiating endless light, cursed angrily and turned to stop him.

But the other two figures also leaped high into the air.

"Oh dear, we can't let you disturb our 'Commander-in-Chief'!"

A chill emanated from the blue pheasant's mouth, and even its body was covered in frost.

He gathered energy in his palm, as powerful as the sun, and then swung his arm:
"Ice Age!"

Crystal-clear ice blocks rose from the ground, completely enveloping the entire Pangu City and blocking the path of pursuit.

"You think a mere block of ice can stop us?"

Nasujuro, one of the Five Elders, had transformed into a centaur and was about to draw the Supreme Grade Sword 'First Generation Kitetsu' from his waist.

But another figure fell from mid-air and blocked the ice wall.

"Then let's cut this one open!"

Fujitora crouched low, his cane-sword suddenly swung out, and purple rings appeared around his body, then shot straight into the sky at an extremely fast speed, forming a path like an acceleration circle.

Nasujuro was taken aback, but then suddenly remembered Fujitora's ability, and his expression changed drastically. He turned around and shouted:

"Stop him! We absolutely cannot let him disturb Lord Im!"

Those present possessed extremely strong Observation Haki, and almost simultaneously sensed the terrifying oppressive feeling emanating from above. It was as if an electric current was rising from the tailbone up the spine and down to the scalp, causing each strand of hair to stand on end.

"call out--------!"

A series of sharp whistling sounds came from the sky. Aokiji raised his head and stared in astonishment at the enormous creature that broke through the clouds and was burning with raging flames. When he left the Navy, Fujitora had not yet joined and had no idea what abilities this Navy admiral who succeeded him had.

Now that he could see what was above him clearly, he couldn't help but push the blindfold on his forehead up a little more and quietly opened his eyes wider:
"Hey, hey, are you kidding me? A meteorite?!"

At this moment, all the powerful figures looked up at the sky and saw that as Fujitora unleashed his full power, a series of meteorites joined together and hurtled down from the sky at great speed.

"Fujitora! You're including us this time!"

As Shanks spoke, he quickly bounced to the side. The previously intense battlefield was suddenly interrupted by this series of meteors. Only the Five Elders and the Knights of God stood still, their faces extremely pale.

Pangu City is not far away. If these meteorites are allowed to fall, the ice wall will melt instantly, but Pangu City will probably be gone too.

Deep within Pangu City lies Lord Im's residence, but even his favorite flower-filled chamber is gone.
Thinking of the terrifying scene when Lord Im was angry, the Five Elders and the Knights of God couldn't help but shudder. They could only grip their weapons and grit their teeth to choose their own meteorites.

The little dragon, who was live-streaming nearby, watched the meteorite in the sky, and a wicked smile gradually appeared on its face. It suddenly swung its body and flew into the sky, its crystal-clear dragon eyes gleaming, and its dragon claws seemed to carry a power that could influence the operation of the world's rules.

With a sudden pull of its claws, the law of gravity prevailed!

The meteorite, which was already falling rapidly under the pull of Fujitora's Gravity Fruit, seemed to suddenly have a rocket accelerator added, and fell instantly at an unbelievable speed.

Exceptionally clear shockwave clouds appeared in mid-air, and the meteorite gradually formed a flowing surface like lava under high-speed friction.

A blazing meteor streaked across the dim sky with a long trail, crashing down with devastating force.

Fujitora looked up at the meteorite in the sky, his face filled with astonishment and confusion.

No, why does my meteorite seem to be moving so much faster?
Even more surprised than him were the Five Elders and the Knights of God. They had just estimated the distance and were slowly gathering their power when the suddenly accelerating meteorite disrupted all their preparations.

As the meteorite drew ever closer and faster, the Five Elders, their faces contorted with rage and resentment, roared and instantly transformed into five enormous monsters, howling as they charged back towards the meteorite.

The same was true of the Knights of God; their weapons twisted and transformed into all sorts of monsters, accompanying the Five Elders as they departed.

"call out----------"

A sharp whooshing sound pierced through the roar of the clash of Conqueror's Haki. The meteorite's falling speed continued to increase, and the shock cloud spread wider and wider. The airflow of the battlefield below was forcibly pulled, and the gale carried flames and debris upwards, merging with the meteorite's fiery tail to form a churning, fiery red cloud that enveloped most of Mary Geoise.

"boom--!!!"

The boundary between heaven and earth was completely shattered at this moment. The moment the molten body of the meteorite swarm collided with the Five Elders and the Knights of God, the resulting explosion made the entire city seem to jump. Everything remaining on the ground leaped high into the air and was then blown away by the wildly spreading shockwave.

Falling into the Sabaody Archipelago below was like a rain of stones.

The terrifying energy and domineering aura caused the sea surface near the entire Sabaody Archipelago to suddenly surge.

The explosive light wave forced the powerful figures present to squint their eyes involuntarily. Wherever their Observation Haki reached, there was only chaotic collision of rubble and energy ripples.

Fujitora sensed the earth-shattering commotion and looked down to examine his staff-sword and Devil Fruit abilities.

Is this the meteorite I pulled out?
When did I become so powerful?

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Unexpected circumstances made today even busier. I went out, discussed some things, and met with someone to discuss rent. It's too expensive; I wonder if we can lower it a bit.

I got back too late, so I'll only post one update. I'll see if I can make up for it when I get a chance!
