The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 553 Mortals! Descending Stars! Sinners!

The deafening roars, billowing smoke, rivers of blood—the scorching war drove everyone to utter madness.

The bloody battlefield was like an endless darkness descending upon the world, where the final struggle for life and death was conducted in the most brutal way.

Powerful and dazzling shockwaves swept across the battlefield, radiating brilliant colors and possessing astonishing destructive power.

The naval officers who witnessed everything were instantly horrified and immediately shouted.

"Quick, quick... get out of the way!"

However, this only lasted for a few seconds.

"Boom!"

A series of powerful explosions erupted, with smoke, flames, and shockwaves swirling wildly.

In just a moment, thousands of naval soldiers were engulfed by the merciless fire.

Life is fleeting; this is the battlefield, and no one can guarantee they will emerge unscathed.

A group of half-human, half-dragon monsters appeared on the battlefield, their armbands made of specially crafted dragon-shaped metal as thin as cicada wings.

That's right, this is the Dragonblood Knights, the strongest individual knights.

"That's the Dragonblood Knights!"

This violent and powerful knightly order was once the nightmare of countless people.

During those glorious years, they fought on the seas like other knightly orders, suppressing countless pirates.

Two longswords hung on either side of Gu Leiya's waist, and her pupils flashed with a cold light.

"For the Empire, for the Family, for Our King, Attack!!!"

Gurena roared and drew her twin swords, charging ahead of everyone else.

Behind her, the Dragonblood Knights, poised for battle, roared and charged forward.

"die!"

With a loud shout, Gurena unleashed a torrent of power from her twin blades and slammed them down.

A deafening roar shook the heavens.

A violent force erupted, sending earth and rocks flying, and the powerful attack instantly sent a large number of naval soldiers flying.

Without any pause, they charged forward aggressively toward the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

The sky was overcast, with rolling, swirling clouds.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Above the sky, a rain of arrows, each tipped with a specially made pink tube, hurtled down with incredible speed.

"Damn it, what's that?"

The naval soldiers, still reeling from the Dragonblood Knights' charge, looked up in confusion.

Such a dense barrage of arrows is rare even in the entire pirate world.

Few people use arrows as a weapon, even among the strong; they rarely use bows and arrows.

However, these arrows were significantly faster, and the rain of arrows around them was incredibly powerful, leaving large craters when they struck the ground.

It's astonishing; there's no doubt these people are also powerful.

Before they could even react, an even greater disaster struck: the specially made pink bottle suddenly shattered, bursting with dazzling pink light.

"Boom!"

Terrifying explosions shot into the sky, bursting into dazzling fireworks on the ground.

Dust billowed, obscuring the sky, followed by a series of deafening explosions and countless screams.

"The Sharpshooter Knights, to rid the king of all enemies."

Boa Sandasonia, disciple of the serpent, in her python form, flicks her bright red forked tongue.

The scene was so impactful that it sent chills down the spines of the naval soldiers.

So this is the little-known Sharpshooter Knights.

An independent knightly order composed entirely of former Amazonian female warriors, subordinate to Empress Boa Hancock.

"Boom!"

A barrage of arrows rained down on the ground, creating deafening explosions and forming a wall of fire.

A large number of naval lives were lost.

The exhilarating Heberfeller Empire stands in stark contrast to the world government, which is under increasing pressure.

Akainu looked grim during the battle; the Navy had suffered heavy losses, even with its iron-blooded and tough style.

At this moment, his heart was bleeding. These brave naval soldiers had turned into cold corpses, with no trace of their remains.

"Kuzan!!!"

Akainu roared, and molten lava surged wildly throughout his body.

The immense destructive force instantly shattered the thick ice wall, and countless magma slammed down towards the Hibernian Empire without regard for the consequences.

Aokiji remained steadfast, despite their differing identities, beliefs, and goals.

Although he did indeed abhor such large-scale acts of warfare.

But for the sake of his ultimate ideal, even the gentlest of his heart turned cold with gritted teeth.

With a wave of his hand, half of his body transformed into ice elemental, and ice shields appeared out of thin air to block the molten lava's attacks.

"Boom!"

With a series of loud bangs, the collision between ice and fire erupted into violent explosions, releasing large plumes of water vapor.

However, the sheer volume of fire rain was not enough to completely stop it in a short time.

"boom!"

Upon impacting the ground, the towering flames and magma resembled blooming flowers of hell, exploding and spewing out extremely hot magma.

The steel chariots that were touched were instantly melted, and many soldiers of the Hibernian Empire were swallowed by the lava.

The two men stared at each other with icy eyes; former comrades, now mortal enemies.

Another violent conflict then broke out.

Gillian continued to give instructions, arranging for the lightly wounded to return to the rear fortress for treatment.

As a field medic, I naturally understand that this massive war is not going to be optimistic, but fortunately, all kinds of medicines are ready.

There were also quite a few seriously injured!

The consequences of not providing treatment in this situation would be unimaginable.

Gillian waved her hand, and a holy healing light appeared in her palm.

Many severely wounded soldiers, suffering immense pain, recovered completely under Jie Guangyu's treatment.

This small-scale treatment was a trivial matter for her now, because many imperial soldiers who could not retreat on the battlefield had already died.

There was no other way; the battlefield on the Red Line was simply too vast, and Hariri was currently fighting on the front lines.

The number of people in the medical team she led was extremely limited compared to the size of the battlefield.

Even with the large-scale use of healing light, it was insufficient on this vast battlefield.

The mangled corpses of comrades were everywhere; such scenes were everywhere, leaving no time for grief.

Both sides suffered heavy losses in this battle, but the World Government's forces suffered even greater losses.

Compared to the elite forces of the Hibernian Pirate Empire, the World Government is clearly somewhat lacking.

This does not include the combat power of the opponent's top-tier experts at their peak.

It is clear that if things continue like this on the main battlefield, the World Government will inevitably be defeated.

The morale of the World Government's forces suffered a huge blow, and the navy, as the backbone of the force, became the biggest variable.

The Heberfeller Empire amassed its forces and launched a fierce attack on the areas defended by the navy, constantly breaking through the defenses and advancing madly towards the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

On the edge of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, deafening cheers resounded through the sky.

Under the fierce attack of numerous elite knightly orders, a passage leading directly to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise is being opened.

Dawn is just around the corner!

The Hibernian Empire is about to storm the final land, where the last and fiercest battle will take place.

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the gloomy sky, and gusts of wind swept across the heavens and earth. A terrifying and overwhelming pressure swept across the land, and a tremendous upheaval was unfolding.

In the hazy distance, a ferocious eight-legged spider, wreathed in boundless black flames, appeared at the edge of the battlefield in front of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Satan Saint in his Ox-Demon form arrived on the battlefield; the anomaly was not yet over.

Four enormous, strangely burning black flames rose one after another from the earth.

The towering black smoke drifted slowly like a ribbon, connecting the sky and penetrating the five-pointed star "magic array" on the ground, shocking the world.

That is the Five Elders, the rulers of the world's highest power, descending upon the entire battlefield.

In the hazy darkness, five stars descend upon the battlefield, and the scene of hell is recreated.

Pairs of gleaming, scarlet demonic eyes pierced through the dark gloom, looking down upon humans who were no bigger than ants.

A ferocious and terrifying ancient behemoth surveys the earth amidst the raging winds and coldly scrutinizes everything in the world amidst the lightning.

Five ferocious beasts, entwined with black flames, now reveal their terrifying true forms to the world without any further scruples.

They exude an indescribable despair and darkness; they are the true demons of the world.

The Five Elders personally intervened, displaying bizarre and unbelievable powers, preparing to forcefully suppress the arrogant invaders.

"Fierce eyes!"

The deep sound was like a fierce roar from the throat of a beast, and the left eye of the Bull Demon Satan Saint blazed with a cross-shaped blood-red light that pierced through the distant battlefield.

"boom!"

A tremendous explosion erupted, its destructive power terrifying.

"Naval officers and soldiers launch a full-scale counterattack to eliminate all those audacious and reckless villains!"

The demon Satan, with a booming voice, was comparable to the roar of a devil.

He issued orders from his superior position, his words filled with utter disdain.

Even now, they still hold the people of the "lower realm" in contempt.

The naval soldiers, who had been on the verge of defeat, suddenly became highly motivated and launched a fierce counterattack under the orders of the Five Elders.

The intense pressure weighed heavily on the hearts of all the soldiers of the Hibernian Empire, even the elite and powerful knights.

"Five Elders, your faces are truly disgusting!"

The sound boomed, and the undisguised sarcasm echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

In the distant sky, thick, dark clouds rose and fell incessantly, like layers of turbulent waves being stirred up.

Something amazing is rapidly approaching from there.

next second...

In the gloomy sky, gusts of wind rose up, and several enormous creatures approached from afar.

Countless people below couldn't help but swallow hard.

Its astonishing momentum and powerful spirit are equally awe-inspiring.

One after another, giant winged dragons carrying human figures arrived in the sky.

Thunder flashed, dragons roared, shaking heaven and earth...

Without even a second thought, everyone knew who this iconic creature was, even if its figure was slightly blurred due to visibility issues.

It seems that the remaining top experts of the Heberfeller family will also be going to participate.

Many sailors couldn't help but tremble.

A series of figures stood on the dragon's back.

Some had their arms crossed over their chests, others had long knives hanging from their waists...

When the wind blew, the black warlord's overcoat fluttered continuously, making a clear "whoosh" sound.

"The Lone Red—Redfield!"

"The King of Demons—Barrett!"

"King of Asuras—Pande!"

"The King of Fire Fist—Ace!"

"The King of Swords—Mihawk!"

"..."

Looking up at the figures of that group in the sky, the navy soldiers spoke one after another.

"What an arrogant brat!"

The demon Satan Saint was very disdainful, thinking that these few people were no match for them.

"Old man, you'll only know if you're the opponent after you've fought them!"

Barrett spoke arrogantly and domineeringly, showing no fear whatsoever towards the Five Elders.

Fighting is his instinct.

At this moment, many navy personnel subconsciously took a half step back; the appearance of the powerful figures from Hibernian was indeed astonishing.

Yamato, Bartholomew Kuma, Trafalgar Law, Jinbe, and others are all extraordinary strongmen.

"This is the true power of the Heberfeller Empire."

He single-handedly withstood the combined might of the Navy's top forces and the terrifying Five Elders of the World Government.

The members of the Hibernian Empire had fanatical eyes and excited expressions.

A strong sense of pride swept over me.

"What an insolent brat!"

Satan Saint's crimson eyes were locked on Barrett, his ferocity completely exposed, his former peace long gone.

"A bunch of monsters, and they won't even let us talk about them."

King Pande's tone was flat, but full of sarcasm.

However, he couldn't help but be shocked. The aura of the Five Elders, who were in five different forms of legendary creatures, was indeed ridiculously strong.

"Arrogant mortals, I wonder if you even have the ability to consider yourselves extraordinary!"

The giant boar, with its four sharp tusks and wide mouth, was surrounded by black flames. Its voice was cold.

It unleashed a deafening roar, the sound waves spreading outwards in layers.

An overwhelming aura of domineering power surged into the sky, changing the color of the world, and the ruins crumbled in the blink of an eye.

Barrett shouted.

A dark purple aura of domineering power covered the heavens and earth, interwoven with endless lightning flashes, meeting the attack head-on with unparalleled force.

Two terrifying bursts of Conqueror's Haki collided violently.

An aura of terror alternated constantly, and the bursts of color distorted the entire world.

As they clashed, the void was torn apart, and black lightning danced wildly in the sky.

Under the impact of such a fierce force, countless people swayed precariously, and the oppressive, overwhelming aura made it hard to breathe.

This power is like a towering mountain, like a tsunami crashing down.

The strange, malevolent light in Satan's eyes flashed once more, tearing through the air and shooting out in an instant.

"Old man, a sneak attack is not a good idea!"

A hoarse voice, tinged with indescribable arrogance, unleashed a surge of crimson battle power that slashed down from the sky.

A loud "BOOM!" triggered a massive explosion.

As the world changed color, the clash between the two Conqueror's Haki ended, and the world returned to its original calm.

Even though it was only the first hint of their domineering clash, their powerful demeanor was still unforgettable.

This is truly awe-inspiring Conqueror's Haki, the ticket to becoming a top-tier powerhouse.

Bartholomew Bear raised both palms downwards to aim.

"Bear Paw Impact!"

The Paw-Paw Fruit's astonishing power instantly compressed the air, forming a pale pink bear paw-shaped impact, crackling with countless bolts of electricity; a single strike was enough to pierce through heaven and earth.

The powerful impact rushed directly towards where the Five Elders were located.

"Boom!"

The violent, intense shockwave shook the heavens and the earth.

Smoke and dust billowed, and shockwaves surged, directly enveloping the location of the Five Elders.

As the smoke and dust cleared, five figures, looking somewhat disheveled, came into view, with a huge bear paw print crater left on the ground.

Everyone frowned slightly; it was indeed terrifyingly powerful, having withstood the attack without sustaining any damage.

"What unforgivable sinners!"

Black flames intertwined, and Itsumade Mazusei, a giant bird with a snake's body, flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

Gusts of wind howled, flames surged, and a colossal body, blotting out the sky, oppressed the surrounding land.

The feeling of suffocation was extremely intense.

From its narrow beak, a tremendous breath shot out, creating ripples in the air as it shot straight toward the giant bear high in the sky.

The dazzling light and terrifying fluctuations made people tremble uncontrollably, and the extreme destructive power filled them with dread.

A blood-red figure swept across the void like a ghost, its blood-red, ferocious wings a rare sight.

Redfield launched a blood-red slash that soared into the sky, pressing down on the void.

"boom!"

A piercing explosion rang out, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the void.

"Redfield~"

Itsumade Mazusei looked at the other party with his eerie bird-like eyes and spoke in a low voice, without any emotional fluctuation.

This is the second time the two have faced off; the last time was more than a decade ago.

"What's your name?"

Redfield raised his blood-red eyebrows slightly and spoke arrogantly.

"They're really getting more and more outrageous."

Itsumade Mazusei's voice rang out slowly, his contemptuous tone undisguised.

Whether it's Redfield or ordinary people, in their eyes there's no difference; they're all just "lower-world" people.

With the two sides clashing, the ultimate showdown officially began.

"ROOM—"

Luo opened his hand and instantly snapped his fingers loudly.

With a "whoosh," it disappeared from its original spot and reappeared in mid-air behind the Five Elders, Saint Pitt.

He instantly assumed a drawing motion, and the next moment, Ghost Cry emerged from his body, its cold light flashing.

"R·ROOM·Cut Off~"

A transparent halo instantly enveloped the world where the Five Elders were located, and a flash of light flickered with a strange power, possessing the might to cleave the heavens and earth with a single strike.

Within the space he created, this strike was unavoidable.

The Five Elders, Pittor Saint, naturally sensed the abnormality. Since their transformation, their instincts, like those of wild beasts, had made them even more acutely aware of danger.

"Kid, you're too green."

With its sharp fangs and swirling insect body, Sandworm Pitsaur unleashed a powerful Conqueror's Haki attack.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and the transparent barrier created by Luo shattered instantly, interrupting the attack.

Sandworm Pit Saint's body suddenly burrowed into the ground, and a series of rumbling sounds as it broke through the earth echoed continuously, causing the ground to shatter.

A moment later, all was quiet and there was no sound.

After Luo landed on the ground, his expression was solemn. His Observation Haki couldn't detect the exact location of the other party.

Knowing that the other party was underground but being helpless and unable to confirm it, this power was truly too strange.

The next instant, the ground cracked open, and Luo leaped into the air.

A gigantic maw, like the sharp teeth of an abyss, devoured everything as it came toward him. The immense pressure made him lose his senses, and he was right above the giant mouth of the sand worm.

Luo's pupils contracted, and he swung the Heavenly Cry sword, slashing fiercely at the nearby giant mountain.

"ROOM—"

In the blink of an eye, a giant mountain, cleaved in half, took his place.

"boom!"

Sandworm Pitsaur bit down on the giant mountain.

However, the terrifying force swallowed half a small mountain whole, and the sharp teeth crushed it, sending it into the bottomless maw.

The massive body of the Sandworm Pitsaur twisted and turned, locking onto the tiny Luo.

"Divine Footwork, White Serpent Body"

A ferocious roar erupted as Yamato swiftly swung his spiked club, launching a powerful attack that seemed to shatter the void.

A white divine serpent shot out, emanating a bone-chilling aura, sweeping across all directions as it swiftly slashed through the air.

"Click click click!"

Thunder roared in the void, black lightning crackled wildly across the white serpent's body, and terrifying destructive power surged wildly.

A dazzling attack rose from the ground, striking the void like lightning, shattering the ground beneath its force.

"boom!"

The enormous body of the Sandworm Pitsaint was pierced through, leaving a large hole, though it was insignificant compared to its massive size.

Moreover, no blood flowed from the wound, and it healed in the blink of an eye.

It was completely baffling.

Yamato, in her human-beast form, had wisps of cold mist constantly emanating from the corners of her mouth, and a chilling aura surrounded her like a divine halo, making her appear like a cute yet powerful female beast goddess.

However, a heavy look appeared in her eyes; the Five Elders' power was beyond imagination.

An intense killing intent emanated from behind her.

A flying slash, radiating endless chill, hurtled straight towards Yamato.

"Buzz~"

The void trembled as a massive slash struck from the sky, colliding with the other force. The combined power dissipated, shattering the earth.

Excitement gleamed in the eyes of the Sword Saint King Mihawk, and his black blade Night emitted a violent hum.

A huge figure, half-human and half-bone horse, moved rapidly, freezing the ground wherever it passed.

Magu Nassshurang, the only great swordsman among the Five Elders, and the wielder of the first generation Kitetsu, possesses immense strength.

"interesting!"

A faint voice rang out as Magu Nasurou, carrying the First Generation Kitetsu, scrutinized Mihawk, whose moves were clean and efficient.

The battlefield was locked in a fierce stalemate.

The evil eyes of the Ox-Demon Satan Saint have set their sights on the Fire Fist King Ace and the sinner Bartholomew Kuma.

As he sprinted with his spider-like legs, the ground beneath his sharp limbs could not withstand the weight.

"Great Flame Ring - Will-o'-the-Wisp!"

Flames surged, a halo of fire encircled the dragon's body, and it roared forth.

"boom!"

The powerful attack struck the body of the Bull Demon Satan Saint, causing him only minor injuries, but completely halting his advance.

"Bear Paw Impact~"

A pale pink bear paw shot out from mid-air and slammed violently into Satan Saint's body, sending him flying.

As Niugui Satan struggled, he crashed through the rocks and looked at the two men.

"Those brats are such a headache!"

Above the sky, Redfield's wings vibrated rapidly, transforming into a crimson streak that streaked across the void as he launched an attack.

With a flap of its wings, Itsumade Mazusei flew away nimbly and swiftly.

Two figures left trails of afterimages in the sky as they engaged in a fierce battle.

"Boom!"

The flames dispersed, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed, and terrifying fluctuations continued to emanate from the high sky.

Redfield spread his wings and took flight, his blood-red slash piercing the clouds and hurtling towards Mazsan.

Itsumade Mazusaichi stopped in his tracks, letting out a piercing cry as he faced the slash, leaving behind layers of sound waves in the air.

The menacing, green and yellow eagle claws shattered Redfield's powerful slash.

Its tail swung nimbly, tearing through the sky like a steel whip, producing a sonic boom from high-speed friction.

"Boom!"

The ferocious beast tail ripped apart a series of bloody slashes, creating a deafening explosion.

People's pupils dilated; this was the immense power of the Five Elders.

Feng Xi Wuchuli Saint's emotionless, cold eyes instantly launched an attack on Barrett.

Every step of his frantic sprint was like an earthquake.

Barrett's body swelled rapidly, his muscles bulged high, and with a stomp of his foot, the ground instantly cracked open.

A powerful force surged forth, striking head-on like a streak of light.

"Clang!"

A grand sound resounded, the hum of clashing iron vibrated, and a terrifying shockwave erupted.

"boom……"

Rocks shattered, gales rose, shockwaves distorted the void, and deafening sounds pierced eardrums.

The wind howled, Barrett's clothes rustled, and he used the force to return to the starting position.

The opponent's body was incredibly sturdy; the blow just now felt like a fist hitting steel.

The whistling wind filled Barrett's ears, but the challenge only fueled his fervor.

"Frenzy - Starfall!"

A dazzling fist-force soared into the sky, black flashes crisscrossing and raging, spreading continuously.

A frenzied fist, radiating a violent aura, with boundless power pressing down from the sky, bursting forth with a terrifying aura of despair, as one person stepped forward.

At the same time, Feng Xi Wochuli Sheng was equally ferocious, launching a head-on, primitive duel.

"Boom!"

A shockwave rose into the sky, followed by a series of sonic booms that destroyed everything around it.

Two forces twisted the heavens and earth, lightning snakes darted about, and destructive energy dissipated, creating a scene so grand it was terrifying.

This attack was incredibly powerful, directly opting for a one-on-one head-on collision.

Barrett, the Demon King, truly lives up to his reputation as the toughest man in the Heberfeller Empire.
