XX-level Hokage

"Saint Korin, do you really think you can defeat me today?" Kaido's voice boomed like thunder, echoing across the battlefield. His body was covered in dark purple scales, and he exuded a powerful aura.

"I am immortal!" Garin sneered, the black smoke around him churning wildly, as if responding to Kaido's provocation. "You are far from enough to defeat me!"

The atmosphere instantly intensified as Kaido's attacks rained down on Korin like a storm. However, Korin's defenses remained impenetrable. He not only withstood Kaido's attacks but also faced successive assaults from Katakuri, Yamato, and Sabo.

"Attack together!" Sabo roared, flames erupting behind him as he charged forward, attempting to disrupt Korin's rhythm with a powerful burst of fire. "Katakuri, provide fire support!" Yamato retorted, his weapon gleaming coldly as he charged at Korin.

"Understood!" Katakuri stood firmly, his gaze sharp as a knife, instantly transforming into a bolt of lightning, locking onto Korin's movements. His abilities allowed him to thrive on the battlefield, finding the right opportunity to strike precisely no matter when or where.

However, Garin Sei remained completely unfazed by the combined attack of the four. His body, protected by black smoke, seemed invincible.

"You are so naive!" Garin suddenly roared, releasing the surrounding black smoke, which formed a huge energy wave that spread towards the four of them.

"Damn it, get out of the way!" Yamato shouted, quickly retreating.

Fire Claw! Sabo also launched a timely counterattack at this moment. The fusion of flames and black smoke created a huge energy fluctuation. The violent collision sound was deafening, and the ground of the entire battlefield began to shake.

"Boom! A deafening roar erupted, instantly compressing the surrounding environment. The shockwave forced everyone back several steps, causing endless destruction. "This guy is a real nuisance!" Yan roared, his body engulfed in black smoke, as he prepared to launch another attack.

"We can't give up! Let's work together!" Sabo shouted, regrouping their formation. Clearly, they needed stronger teamwork. However, in this round of attacks, Garin's power seemed to grow even stronger.

Despite the relentless attacks from the four, their combined assault still put pressure on him, but he always managed to counterattack with near-absolute power. "Watch me show you what true power is!" Garin roared, the surrounding black smoke thickening as if to engulf all his enemies.

They were all buried there.

Just then, the situation changed drastically. Sabo and Katakuri were both injured by Korin's attack and lost their fighting ability. Kaido seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and with a powerful blow, he crippled Korin's arm, causing blood to gush out.

"You're such a fool, daring to think you're truly immortal!" Kaido sneered, closing in. "I...Karin Saint," he said, lowering his head to look at his severed limbs, a cold expression on his face, "I will not lose!"

Just as he let out a desperate roar, flames suddenly rose from the smoke, rushing towards Garin with overwhelming force. "I'll stop you!" he roared, and the flames that instantly ignited formed a blazing barrier, crashing towards Garin.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!" Tianhe seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack. The thunderous attack struck Jialin Sheng directly, slamming him heavily to the ground with a thud! "With a loud bang, Jialin Sheng's body crashed heavily to the ground, and the surrounding ground trembled.

"Didn't this attack finish him off?" Sabo thought anxiously. Although Garin Saint had been knocked down, he knew that this did not mean victory.

Kaido's voice boomed like thunder, and a powerful aura began to gather in his abdomen, preparing to unleash a fatal blow: "Let me end all of this!"

"What do you want?" Korin raised his head, his expression still revealing madness and defiance. "I will fight for my beliefs!" "Too serious!" Kaido's breath was like a whirlwind, rushing towards Korin, his powerful aura instantly enveloping him.

"Die!" Kaido roared, a powerful gust of wind carrying scorching flames hurtling towards Korin. Meanwhile, on the other side, the battle between Dragon and Shanks continued fiercely.

The figures of the two powerful figures intersected like shooting stars, and the collision of their powers emitted a dazzling light.

"Your attacks are powerful, but they're too predictable." Shanks constantly adjusted his strategy during the battle, skillfully dodging the dragon's attacks. His sword light shone like stars, aiming straight for the dragon's vitals.

"You're too confident, Shanks!" Dragon sneered, his figure flashing like lightning as he tried to break through Shanks' defenses.

"I will never let you interfere in this battle!" Shanks roared, his Haki surrounding him like a shield, blocking the dragon's attack.

Just then, Beckman seized the opportunity to adjust his position, his sniper rifle poised for fire, calmly aiming at the dragon. "Hold on, dragon, I can't let you continue to interfere with their battle!"

"Incomprehensible!" the dragon roared, his feathered serpent form granting him incredible speed as he charged toward Beckman in an instant. "Divine Shot!" Beckman calmly and precisely pulled the trigger, attempting a decisive blow.

However, at this crucial moment, Kuma suddenly appeared in front of Beckman and used the power of the Paw-Paw Fruit to completely deflect Beckman's attack.

"What a troublesome fellow!" Beckman frowned, then adjusted his strategy, turning to launch a new attack on the bear, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The battle between Korin and Kaido grew increasingly tense, and with Korin's defeat, the situation reached a critical juncture. "Come on, the final blow!" Kaido's voice crackled with lightning as he prepared to launch a fatal attack.

At this critical moment, strange black smoke once again surged from Garin Sei's body, carrying violent power. He fearlessly and angrily attacked the four of them.

"No matter what, I will not lose!" Garin's voice was filled with absolute confidence, firmly believing that his "immortal" power would allow him to absolutely rebound in this battle.

"Boom! The collision of air currents rang out again, and the entire battlefield shook violently. The strength of both sides reached its peak at this moment, as if they were about to tear the entire island into pieces."

In the battle between Dragon and Shanks, time seemed to stand still, and the clash between the powerful stirred up countless ripples.

Chapter 184: Otsutsuki Mode!

At the heart of the battlefield, Garin's figure stood like an unshakeable peak, but as the violent air currents collided with the black smoke, the situation began to subtly change.

Kaido's oppressive aura was like a raging torrent, almost suffocating everyone.

Just as he was about to launch his final attack, a ghostly figure faintly appeared in the thick black smoke. "Negative Ghost!" Perona's voice was as light and mysterious as a star in the night sky.

Her Spirit-Spirit Fruit power activated, and several invisible souls, like phantoms in the darkness, silently attacked Korin.

"What...what is this?!" Garin Sei's pupils dilated instantly as he felt an irresistible force invading his consciousness, and his indomitable spirit was instantly weakened.

His body trembled slightly, his face contorted, as if he were being eroded by that power. "Seize the opportunity!" Yamato roared, a spark of hope flashing in his eyes.

They couldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and just then, Boa Hancock suddenly appeared.

"Let me end this!" Her voice was cold and resolute, her eyes flashing with powerful conviction, instantly drawing everyone's attention. Hancock's leg struck Garin Saint with lightning speed, her beauty and power intertwining, as if time itself had stopped. The kick landed squarely on Garin Saint's chest, the immense force like a storm, instantly overwhelming him.

*Thud!* Garin Saint let out a muffled sound, his body instantly petrified under the intense attack, turning into a still statue. The surrounding black smoke also dissipated, revealing his incredible posture.

This is... My undying power has vanished! How is this possible?! "Garin Saint thought to himself that something was wrong, but it was too late for him to react.

Kaido raised his spiked club high, accompanied by a thunderous roar, "Thunder Bagua!" This strike seemed capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, directly hitting Korin's petrified form.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the entire battlefield seemed to tremble under the impact.

Garin's body shattered instantly under Kaido's attack, turning into countless fragments that scattered in the air, accompanied by his desperate and furious roar, before finally dissipating into the air.

“He… he really has fallen.” Sabo watched this scene, his heart filled with shock.

The disappearance of Korin meant the complete annihilation of the Knights of God. Maria and the Celestial Dragons lost their greatest weapon and shield. On the other side of the battlefield, Shanks witnessed the fall of Korin, and his expression became complicated.

An indescribable emotion surged within him, as if an invisible force was tugging at his heartstrings. In truth, few knew that Shanks and Garin were father and son.

"You died like this, it's hard to know whether to laugh or cry," Shanks murmured to himself, his gaze fixed on the dust floating in the air, and he sighed.

Although he had long since severed ties with Garin Saint, the lingering bond of blood still left him with a sense of helplessness. "Go, Beckman." He finally turned away, his gaze resolute, yet tinged with lingering emotion.

“Yes,” Beckman replied simply, followed by him. Their figures gradually disappeared from the battlefield, leaving only the lingering warmth of the battle and the unfinished legend.

Meanwhile, neither the dragon nor the bear gave chase. Their goal had been achieved; the destruction of the Knights of God had opened up a new future for them. The dragon looked at the bear, its eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.

“We should keep moving forward and not let this victory go to waste,” Long said.

“Yes, there are still more enemies waiting for us ahead.” Bear nodded in response, the sweat on his forehead testifying to the intensity and difficulty of this battle. Just then, Perona and Hancock also walked up to them.

Perona's expression showed a hint of relief. "It's finally over. That was so nerve-wracking!" "Thanks to your help," Yamato smiled slightly, the tension on his face finally easing.

"We will face the challenges of the future together," Hancock said calmly, her gaze resolute, as if paving the way for the unknown future.

"This battle is just the beginning." Kaido looked into the distance, his voice deep and powerful. "We must fight for a greater ideal, and we must never stop." As they departed, the smoke from the battlefield gradually dissipated, leaving behind only lingering black smoke and shattered ground as witnesses to this legendary battle.

Countless legends will circulate at sea, and the stories of heroes and villains will intertwine to create a new chapter in history.

Meanwhile, in Maria, the people of Guanlong are facing an unprecedented crisis after losing the protection of the Knights of God. Their authority is being shaken, and their former arrogance and confidence are quietly crumbling.

As time goes by, will this once invincible nation be able to regain its former glory? Meanwhile, in Ohara...

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and within them, a dazzling silver light shone brightly.

The white Susanoo formed a protective circle around her, and black and white flames surged continuously on her body, becoming increasingly dazzling.

She was ready to face the "Heavenly King's" next attack. Instantly, countless beams of light rained down.

Just like when Mashiro used Shinra Tensei to defend, the beams of light collided with Mashiro's Susanoo. But unexpectedly, these beams of light seemed to have no physical form, directly penetrating the Susanoo's defenses and striking Mashiro again.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion.

Mashiro was struck by immense force once again, slamming heavily onto the land of Ohara, instantly causing a violent explosion that distorted the entire space, sending dust flying and flames soaring into the sky.

Explosions continued, and a huge crater was blasted into Ohara, which had already been razed to the ground. Mashiro's body was scattered in all directions by the powerful shockwave.

As the smoke cleared, Mashiro got up again, crawled out of the mud, and dusted herself off.

"As expected? It seems to be able to ignore any form of energy defense." Mashiro muttered to himself, looking at Guan Kong.

Seeing that Mashiro was still unharmed, the Five Elders could hardly believe it. After all, Mashiro was one of the three ancient weapons, "Heavenly King," which possessed the power to annihilate a lord's country with a single blow.

But now, neither of the two attacks had killed the "sorcerer." Soon, the silver light began to brew again.

"Is there a third strike? Looks like I'll have to go all out. Getting hit by this kind of attack really hurts." With that, Mashiro snapped her fingers lightly.

Suddenly, an invisible force began to brew. Shinshiro's Rinnegan emitted a faint green light, her hair turned silver-white and floated in the air, and a small silver-white horn grew on her head. She sat cross-legged, one hand supporting her face, and floated in the air.

Looking into Mashiro's eyes, the Five Elders began to feel incredibly small, like an ant peering at the stars. This was Mashiro's complete form, the Otsutsuki Mode!

Although she lost her eight divine spells, her almost indestructible body remains her greatest trump card.

Chapter 185: King of the Four Seas (Part 1)

In the sky above Ohara, a silver light descended like a god, shaking the hearts of every witness.

Mashiro's figure appeared even smaller under the pillar of light, but she did not choose to retreat. Instead, she entrusted her fate to her own power. As she abandoned her defenses and resolved to meet the "Uranus's" attack with her Otsutsuki body, the entire Ohara fell silent.

"Come on, I'm ready." Mashiro's voice was as gentle as a breeze, yet resolute. The beam of light descended instantly, as if unleashing a raging torrent.

The immense energy, like a raging torrent, tore through the sky and hurtled towards Mashiro.

Amidst the roar, the beam of light struck her snow-white skin, instantly bursting forth with dazzling brilliance, but Zhenbai's figure remained completely still.

The beam of light left scratches on her skin, like dark ink marks on white paper, and bright red blood slowly seeped out, indicating the greatest damage she had suffered.

"This...how is this possible!" The Five Elders' eyes widened in disbelief and shock, especially Saint Satan, whose voice trembled: "She wasn't knocked down! Her body actually withstood the Heavenly King's attack!"

"Yao Weishi?! It really is Yao Wei?!...This is unbelievable." Te Sheng muttered to himself, his heart filled with turbulent waves. They had thought that Makoto's abilities were useless against the Ancient Weapons, but they suddenly discovered that her power far exceeded their imagination.

Meanwhile, on the warship, former Fleet Admiral Kong Bone watched all this with a startled expression. A grave look appeared on his face as he instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.

Although he had witnessed many powerful individuals in top-tier battles, he had never heard of anyone as easily withstanding attacks from ancient weapons as Mashiro. Therefore, he immediately made a decision.

"Navigate immediately and prepare to retreat!" Steelbone Sky gave the order decisively, with a hint of unease.

He knew in his heart that Mashiro's existence not only threatened the Celestial Dragons, but also the entire world.

Just as the Five Elders were about to flee, under the sky where "Heavenly King" had stopped, Mashiro's gaze was like the moon, cold and arrogant. She raised her head slightly, a smile appearing on her lips: "You want to escape? I don't intend to let you leave."

Before he finished speaking, a small black sphere materialized in Mashiro's hand, like a star in the night sky, and instantly floated into the air. The black sphere expanded continuously in the air, releasing a suffocatingly cold aura.

"Super Planetary Devastation!" Mashiro's voice, like a thunderclap, instantly echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

"Run!" The Five Elders' expressions changed drastically, and they retreated in panic. However, it was all too late.

The small black ball suddenly exploded, and the area within a radius of tens of meters was instantly swallowed by darkness. The Five Elders and the surrounding rocks and dead trees were all drawn in by an invisible force, like dust falling into a vortex.

"Boom!" With a deafening roar, the ground of Ohara was torn apart by this force, a fierce wind swept through, and dust filled the sky.

The Five Elders were trapped by the powerful gravity and could not break free. They could only watch helplessly as they were sucked into the black sphere and lost their freedom. "What...what kind of power is this!" Saint Satan cried out in terror, his voice filled with despair.

Their generation had never seen such terrifying power, and Mashiro before them was like their deepest fear.
