I'm the Great Pirate, and I'm waging the Holy Grail War!

Chapter 317 The City of End-Game Order, Stars Shine Bright

Dilt's angelic power clashed fiercely with the Cocoon of Order, and pure white and pale light streams tumbled and tore apart in the sky above Pangu City.

The rift torn open by Gilgamesh's Ea became the only path to the final battlefield, with sparks of annihilation constantly erupting from its edges.

"Time is running out!" Blood seeped from the corner of Dilt's mouth, and the power that solidified the entire world made his bones creak.

"Jill, prepare to receive them!"

"Hmph, it's finally my turn to display the true divine artifact." Behind Gilgamesh, golden ripples from the Gate of Babylon formed a giant golden magic circle that covered the sky.

"Use your abilities to summon all those monstrous cultivators!"

Joan of Arc planted the holy banner into the ground.

"With faith as our guide, let us all gather here! Let us fight for freedom!"

hum!

The golden magic circle erupted with blinding light!

Ripples of spatial distortion spread out from the center of the magic array, forcibly pulling figures across space to appear on the eerie, desolate square outside Pangu City.

Luffy was the first to land, his rubber body bouncing up as he looked at the frozen soldiers and the dust floating in the air: "What happened? Just like that—"

Ace landed immediately afterward, flames burning in his palm: "Tsk, this place is uncomfortable."

Sabo, Dragon, Law, Kid, Shanks, Hawkeye, Aokiji, Kizaru, Fujitora, Crocodile, Smoker, Jinbe, Brook, Doflamingo, Lucci, Bonney, Buggy, Rebecca, Loki, Hiyori, Pedro — almost all the Masters with remaining fighting power and their Heroic Spirits were present.

Each person was accompanied by a servant with a distinct aura.

"This is... the final battlefield?" Sabo looked around and gripped the water pipe tightly.

The dragon stood beside Prometheus and said in a deep voice, "Ah, it seems this is the end."

His gaze fell upon the cocoon of order above him, which exuded an aura of despair.

"That guy Dilt—" Roger wiped the blood from his face, grinned, "Well done, you got everyone here."

Karp cracked his knuckles: "Where's that bastard Gibeck?"

"They're fighting up there." Sengoku pointed to the distance, where Lox was entangled in a battle with several phantoms of order.

Shanks surveyed the entire arena, Griffin slung over his shoulder: "Everyone's here? This is even more lively than Alabasta!"

"Hey, Kaido!" Luffy suddenly shouted, "You're here too!"

Kaido, now in his Azure Dragon form, looked down, snorting hot breath: "Straw Hat Boy—this scene is way more exciting than Onigashima. Of course I'm here! Cú Chulainn, are you ready?"

Cu Chulainn AIter, carrying his demonic spear, grinned and said, "I've been waiting for this for ages, Master."

Doflamingo looked around, his String-String Fruit powers dancing at his fingertips: "Fufufu—even I've been summoned. What a grand closing ceremony."

"Enough with the sarcastic remarks, Doflamingo." Crocodile lit a cigar. "Tescat Riboka, what do you think?"

The spirit of the Smoke Mirror appeared beside him, smiling with amusement: "Interesting, very interesting. So many possibilities gathered together."

"Everyone!" Shanks' voice rang out as he stood beside Merlin. "No time for pleasantries. Look up."

On the surface of the cocoon of order, the forty-nine lit spots suddenly shone brightly!

Each point of light projects a distinct phantom image!

They quickly solidified, transforming into forty-nine heroic spirits draped in pale light.

"Forty-nine—" Hawkeye Mihawk placed his hand on Nightblade. "Exactly."

Sasaki Kojiro stood beside him, his hand on the hilt of his sword: "They are all formidable enemies."

"Just knock them away!" Luffy's fists collided.

Roger laughed loudly: "That's right! Just knock them away!"

"Easy for you to say," Doflamingo sneered. "These guys don't look like they're anything but simple."

Bucky was terrified and tore into pieces: "W-why am I here! Jason, think of something!"

Jason sighed, rubbing his forehead. "What can I do? But since we're here, let's at least make the Argonauts known! Right, Hercules?"

Hercules, standing beside Bonney, roared in response.

"Luffy! Sabo! Who cares if it's easy or not!" Ace burst into flames, "Charge! Little Sun!"

"Understood." Karna's golden armor gleamed, and he held the Sun Wheel Thunder Spear in his hand.

A great war is about to break out!

Ace was the first to charge out, his entire body transforming into a blazing white fire meteor!

Karna followed closely behind, the two of them one after the other. Flames and divine light merged in the air, transforming into a roaring torrent of light and flames that crashed fiercely into the three oncoming phantoms of order!

boom--!

The phantom was scattered, but quickly reformed.

Almost simultaneously, all the Heroic Spirits and Masters moved!

"Roar, Hercules! Use Slaughter of a Hundred Heads!" Jason roared! Nine slashes tore through the heavens and earth, shattering the two illusory figures of order that tried to intercept them, along with a large area of ​​the plaza!

Bonnie yelled from behind, "Barsaka! To the left!"

Hercules turned around, his greatsword sweeping across, shattering another phantom.

Odin gazed upon the battlefield with his single eye, and raised the eternal spear Gungnir: "This is the spear that will end fate, the declaration of the great god!"

The spear shadow streaked along an intricate trajectory, and a phantom of order attempted to defend itself, but was directly pierced by the infallible law!

"Well done, great god!" Loki swung his battle axe, cleaving through another phantom.

Ramses II unfurled a massive temple illusion, with divine light enveloping a vast area.

"Hahahaha! Witness the brilliance of the rest! The magnificent composite temple of radiance!" Several phantoms of order vanished like melting snow in the light!

Vivi stood in the center of the temple, hands clasped together: "Your Majesty! Please protect everyone!"

"Hahaha! Leave it to me!" Ramses II laughed, and the temple shone even brighter.

Sasaki Kojiro's figure moved like smoke, a flash of sword light, and an orderly phantom froze in motion before slowly splitting open from the center line.

Hawkeye watched quietly: "That strike—truly exquisite."

"Thank you for the compliment." Kojiro smiled and sheathed his sword.

"ROOM: The Command Baton." Luo expanded the surgical space, forcibly repositioning several illusory figures. "Kidd's in charge!"

"You don't need to tell me!" Kidd manipulated the magnetic storm to shred the phantom, and the golden lion roared behind him, its Conqueror's Haki roar shattering space.

Oda Nobunaga fired a volley of muskets, the flames carrying a mysterious killing quality having a significant effect on the divine phantom!

"The Sixth Demon King is here! Three thousand worlds, burn!"

Hiyori gripped her sword nervously: "Lord Nobunaga, please be careful!"

"Don't worry!" Oda Nobunaga turned back with a smile, twirling his musket. "This isn't even a warm-up!"

Siegfried raised his greatsword high: "Roar to the sun, Fantasy Greatsword - Fallen Demon!"

The dragon-slaying brilliance was unleashed, and a large number of phantom images evaporated.

Pedro circled him using Moonwalk, his claws tearing apart any survivors: "Lord Siegfried, three o'clock!"

"Understood!" Siegfried turned around and swung his greatsword in a slash.

Joan of Arc unleashed her Noble Phantasm, raising her holy banner high: "My banner will protect you on your journey! My lord is here!"

A pure, divine protective barrier enveloped Luffy, Ace, and the others at the forefront, temporarily isolating them from the erosion of the power of order.

"You bastards, put on your show to please this king!" Behind Gilgamesh, the Gate of Babylon was fully activated, and countless Noble Phantasms poured down like a torrential rain, indiscriminately suppressing the enemy!

"I'd like to see how long these fakes can last!"

The battle instantly intensified!

Each phantom of order possesses power close to the original, and is fearless and tireless. But the red and black sides, setting aside past grievances, cooperate seamlessly!

Large areas of the Aokiji are frozen, and glaciers are spreading.

The phantom of Socrates was beside him, and the invisible force of questioning caused a brief disruption in the phantom's logical processes.

"Kuzan, the left wing needs support," Socrates said calmly.

"Understood." Aokiji waved his hand, and a forest of ice spears shot out, piercing through several afterimages.

Kizaru and Achilles transformed into two golden streaks, traversing the battlefield and causing the afterimages to dissipate wherever they passed.

"Not bad speed, Master," Achilles chariot laughed as it rolled over.

"You're not bad either, great hero of the Iliad~" Kizaru replied lazily, but the Ame-no-Murakumo sword in his hand was as fast as lightning, with light-speed slashes coming one after another.

"But this kind of battle is really troublesome~"

Fujitora's gravity blade suppressed a large area, and Zatoichi, with his eyes closed, sensed the attack and precisely struck down any stragglers with his deadly sword.

"Mr. Xiao, there are three powerful auras overhead."

"Understood." Fujitora pointed his sword at the sky, "Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!" The slash shot skyward.

Kaido and Cú Chulainn, the two berserkers, rampaged through the enemy ranks like a meat grinder. "Hey, Cú Chulainn!"

Kaido smashed the afterimage with his spiked club and roared, "How about we see who kills the most?"

Cú Chulainn AIter grinned, his demonic spear Geiborg spinning and piercing: "Just what I wanted! Don't lose too badly, Master!"

"Don't look down on me!" Kaido transformed into a blue dragon, breathing out hot breath.

Smoker's smoke combined with Qezar Koyatel's solar power to purify the filth of Order.

"Little White! There are three bodies gathering in the southeast direction," Quetzalcoatl gently reminded him, his fists gleaming with sunlight.

"Ah. Don't call me that." Smoker transformed into white smoke and lunged forward, his ten hands wreathed in Armament Haki, "White Fist!"

Crocodile's sandstorm and Tescat Riboka's abilities made the phantoms impossible to defend against.

"Crocodile, do you need any help over there?" Tescatlipoca asked with a smile, his figure flickering in the smoke.

"Mind your own business," Crocodile coldly replied, barely managing to deal with the other Servant.

Doflamingo's String-String Fruit combined with Shakespeare's Noble Phantasm transformed part of the battlefield into a distorted stage play, dramatically interfering with the actions of the phantoms.

"What a wonderful play, Don Quixote!" Shakespeare exclaimed from the sidelines, his quill pen flying across the page.

"Focus on controlling them!" Doflamingo's forehead was beaded with sweat as he manipulated the thin threads with his fingers. "There are just too many of these!"

In his panic, Buggy splits apart to avoid the attack: "Why am I being transported here too! I'm just an ordinary Chop-and-Chop Devil Fruit user!"

Jason commanded the Argo's phantom to ram into them: "Shut up, Bucky! At least do something! Argo, hard to starboard!"

"What did you say?! I'm Captain Bucky!"

Rebecca and Spartacus fight back to back, the girl's resilience resonating with the roar of the rebels.

"Mr. Spartacus, behind you!"

"Leave it to me!" Spartacus roared, "The roar of a wounded beast!"

The terrifying sound waves shattered the phantom, but they also inflicted new wounds on him.

Brook's astral projection scouts the battlefield, while King Hassan's instant death decree silently eliminates the key objective.

"Wow, old man, you're really something! You took care of that big guy with one strike."

"————" Wang Hassan silently brandished his sword.

Jinbe's Fishman Karate and Noah's Ark Power created a favorable water combat environment for their side in the plaza.

"Fishman Karate - Secret Technique - Martial Arts!" Jinbe unleashed a powerful punch, causing water to surge. "Lord Noah, please grant me the power of the waves!"

"As you wish." Noah's phantom raised his hand, and the illusion of the ancient ark appeared, with floods surging and washing over the battlefield.

With a maniacal laugh, Lox, fueled by the Count of Monte Cristo's vengeful fire and his own overwhelming strength, single-handedly entangled the three phantoms of order!

"Not enough! Come on! My fists aren't even warm yet!" Each of his punches carried the brute force to tear through space, clashing head-on with the conceptual attacks of the phantom.

Saab and Napoleon commanded the overall situation, and their military strategies prevented the war from turning into a chaotic mess.

"Advance thirty meters on the left flank, hold the line on the right!" Napoleon pointed his sword at the battlefield, his military aura enveloping the entire army.

"Understood!" Sabo swung the water pipe to repel the attacking phantom.

Shanks' illusions and Merlin's magical support were omnipresent, maintaining the stability of the battlefront.

"Merlin, how much longer can you hold on?" Shanks asked, his Conqueror's Haki fluctuating intermittently, weakening his afterimage.

"Until the very last moment, Master." Merlin smiled, his staff still glowing. "But the mana consumption is indeed quite high."

""

Dragon and Prometheus did not go directly to the front lines, but instead continuously infused the seeds of possibility into the hearts of every fighter, resisting the ever-growing erosion of the cocoon of order.

"Can you transmit more?" Long asked, his face pale from the continuous output.

"Yes, but you need to rest." Prometheus looked at the dragon. "Your body is nearing its limit."

"No need," Long gritted his teeth. "We can't stop until we find the answer."

However, the number of phantoms of order is numerous, and as the cocoon rotates, the shattered phantoms will slowly re-coagulate from the cocoon!

The battle turned into a brutal war of attrition. And it was clear that Dilt's strategy of wearing down the enemy couldn't last much longer!

The pure white light in the sky had begun to flicker.

"This won't do!" Merlin analyzed the situation while using his abilities to assist in reconnaissance.

"The source of those phantoms' power is that cocoon! Unless the core of the cocoon is destroyed, they will be virtually inexhaustible!"

Jinbe repelled a phantom and roared, "The core—is inside the cocoon! Im and that human evil are inside!"

"We must break through!" Luffy punched away a phantom, his rubber body stretched out, and he tried to rush directly into the cocoon, but was forced back by several spears of order light, leaving scorch marks on his arm.

"Someone needs to open the passage!" Karna cleared a patch with a single shot and looked toward the area where the phantoms of order were most concentrated.

There were at least ten exceptionally powerful phantoms guarding the area.

"I'll do it." A calm voice rang out.

It was Kuzan. He walked to the front of the formation, looking at Aokiji and Socrates: "Old man, Mr. Socrates, lend me some strength."

Aokiji and Socrates exchanged a glance, simultaneously channeling their power into Kuzan. A chilling aura and the glimmer of philosophical concepts flowed into Kuzan's body.

Kuzan took a deep breath, placed his hands on the ground, and his eyes shimmered with an icy blue light.

"Absolute Zero: Conceptual Development —"

"The Ice Age: All Things Gone to Stillness!"

A straight path of ice crystals forcefully pierced through the dense cluster of phantom images of order, leading directly to the outer wall of the Cocoon of Order! The path was about five meters wide, with rolling barriers of icy air on both sides.

The shadowy figures on the path suddenly began to move extremely slowly.

"Only five seconds!" Kuzan gritted his teeth, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "Hurry!"

"Now! Everyone!" Sabo roared.

"Charge—!!!"

All the top-tier Masters and Servants launched a desperate charge along this passage!

The phantom of order launched a frenzied counterattack, causing the path to tremble violently! Cracks appeared in the ice crystals!

"Don't try to get in my way!"

Hercules, Siegfried, Ramses II, Oda Nobunaga, Achilles, Quetzalcoatl, the Golden Lion —

All the Heroic Spirits with powerful area-of-effect attacks or defenses fought desperately on both sides of the passage, using their bodies and Noble Phantasms to build a fragile defensive line!

The phantom of Hercules, the nine-headed hydra, appeared, desperately blocking the attack from the left.

"This road is blocked!" Siegfried plunged his greatsword into the ground, and the Dragon-Slaying Barrier unfolded.

"My glory illuminates the way forward!" The temple of Ramses II shone brightly.

"Quickly—!" Karna took the lead, his Sun Wheel Thunder Spear transforming into a golden drill, fiercely piercing the outer wall of the Cocoon of Order!

"Rubber Rubber - Monkey God Spear - Overlord's Entanglement!!!"

Luffy followed closely behind, his giant fist imbued with Conqueror's Haki and Nika's power, slamming towards the same point! The fist continued to grow larger in the air, becoming like a mountain!

"God Dodge!" Roger's slash, though delivered after the initial strike, landed squarely on the cocoon wall!

"Emperor Flame - Supernova!" Ace compressed all his flames into a white fireball and shot it out!

"Dragon's Breath - Revolutionary Storm!" The dragon's domineering aura transformed into a blue dragon shadow!

"Magnetic Demon - Crushing Fist!" Kidd's magnetic giant fist slams down!

"The Three Worlds Descend, Naraku is Drawn, Eight Precepts!" Kaido slammed his spiked club down with all his might!

Garp's iron fist, imbued with all his Haki and rage, was silent yet carried the will to shatter stars!

Hawkeye's world's strongest slash, Black Blade Night, cuts out a pitch-black crack!

Luo's surgical space positioning weakness: "ROOM - Shock Wave!"

Shanks' Conqueror's Haki enveloped Griffin, and he unleashed a sword strike!

Crocodile's Desert Diamond Blade grows to a gigantic size and slashes!

Smoker's White Fist Impact Combined with Armament Haki!

Jinbe unleashed his full power with the Buraikan!

—A dozen or so attacks, powerful enough to alter the terrain, converged precisely at a single point under the guidance of Karna's Sun Wheel Spear!

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

then.

Click, click, click!

A cracking sound rang out!

The seemingly indestructible outer wall of the Cocoon of Order was finally torn open with an irregular crack by the combined force of almost all the possible powers in this world!

Inside the crack was a pure white space.

"Go in!" the dragon shouted.

Luffy was the first to rush in: "Yo-ho! They got in!"

Ace followed closely: "Let's go together!!"

The other red-haired Smokers and the others did not hesitate either, transforming into streaks of light and rushing into the rift!

The cracks began to close rapidly.

"Don't die in there, Straw Hat!" Doflamingo shouted as his Thread Blades flashed across the closing crack.

"We must win—" Rebecca gripped her sword tightly, tears welling in her eyes.

The crack has completely closed.

The fighting outside has not stopped.

The remaining Heroic Spirits and Masters must face the frenzied counterattacks of more Order Phantoms, buy time for their companions who have entered the cocoon, and relieve pressure on Dilt, who is currently at a disadvantage against the cocoon.

Outside the cocoon, Kuzan, exhausted, knelt on one knee, the ice crystal path completely collapsing. Aokiji and Socrates supported him. "You've worked hard, Kuzan."

"Not bad," Kuzan gasped.

The phantoms surged in like a tide, even more numerous than before.

"Looks like it's time for us old folks to shine one last time." Sengoku walked to Garp's side, his Buddha form appearing.

"Hmph." Garp clenched his fist, staring at the closing crack. "Luffy—Ace—win for me!"

From the air, Dilt watched the fierce and magnificent battle below, and the light rushing into the cocoon. A smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips.

His pure white light had dimmed considerably, and the pale light stream of the Cocoon of Order was eroding his domain.

Joan of Arc and Gilgamesh had also reached their limit.

Joan of Arc's holy banner shimmered, and Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon projectiles slowed noticeably.

"How much longer can you hold on, you bastard?" Gilgamesh asked, beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Three minutes—at most," Dilt gasped. "After three minutes, my power will be exhausted, the cracks will close, and the Cocoon of Order will complete its final solidification—"

"That's enough." Gilgamesh grinned. "Three minutes is enough for those bastards to find the answer."

Joan of Arc prayed: "May the Lord protect us—may our faith endure—"

Countdown, three minutes left.
