Uchiha's personal opinion

Chapter 570 The Siege of Mary Geoise

For those marines and pirates who surrendered half-heartedly, Uchiha Tokumitsu also made use of them, reorganizing the former marines into the "Reorganized First Army of the Guiyi Marines"; while the pirates were simply organized into the "First and Second Columns of the Sanban Yiyong Reorganized Team" according to their previous teams. As for Shanks and his few subordinates, they were assigned to Minato Namikaze's subordinates as a mobile support force.

Former Vice Admiral Fire Mountain was directly appointed as the commander of the Guiyi Navy, while the pirates were assigned to Charlotte Linlin's command. However, the two squadron leaders were respectively King from the former Beast Pirates and Ace from the former Whitebeard Pirates, which can be considered a kind of power-sharing system.

After completing the reorganization of the surrendered naval and pirate forces, Uchiha Tokumitsu issued a landing operation order to the ninja forces in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Thus, within a single day, under the command of Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Fugaku, the marines drawn from the First, Second, and Fifth Armies easily broke through the World Government's army defenses, which had already been almost completely destroyed in the bombing, and captured Twin Capes at the bottom of Reverse Mountain. They also laid chains in the five waterways of Reverse Mountain to intercept all ships coming and going.

However, due to the excessive force of the ocean currents at the confluence of the Inverted Mountain Channel, the ships were unable to anchor and remain there; otherwise, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise would have been covered by the heavy cannons of the battleships.

Even so, under the leadership of Hatake Sakumo, the ninjas managed to establish artillery positions atop the towering mountains above the waterway and deployed heavy coastal defense artillery there.

Moreover, during this grand process, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise did not react in the slightest, except for closing its gates, as if the enemy forces in front of its gates did not exist.

Even after Uchiha Tokumitsu's newly recruited army from the New World direction successfully joined forces with the Shinobi World Expeditionary Force via the waterway, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise remained completely silent.

Even when the Seven-Tails, Jōmyō, one of the Tailed Beasts that can fly, flew into the sky to scout, he only found that the walls and streets of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise were indeed deserted, and he did not find anything unusual.

But the absence of any abnormality is the biggest abnormality.

The desolate holy land of Mary Geoise seemed as if all the lawless and arrogant Celestial Dragons in the city had died out. This excessive quiet even made the naval officers who knew a little about the Celestial Dragons feel somewhat incredulous.

"Mr. Sengoku, how much do you know about Mary Geoise?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu asked Sengoku, who had already awakened.

"The headquarters of the World Government, the residence of the Celestial Dragons, the legendary land of the gods..."

With a gloomy expression, Sengoku spoke of some worthless information that was almost common knowledge.

Although his injuries were mostly healed after simple treatment, Uchiha Tokumitsu could not trust or even employ Sengoku as he trusted others. Therefore, Sengoku's hands and feet were still shackled with sea stone to limit his power.

But since Sengoku was unwilling to reveal the secret, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not force him and waved his hand to have the Imperial Guard ninja take Sengoku away.

Regardless, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise must be fought.

Moreover, it's better to fight sooner rather than later, and better to fight big rather than small. Rather than waiting for the three seas to react and then besiege the point and attack the reinforcements, it's better to use thunderous means from the beginning to make the Holy Land of Mary Geoise a deadly place that can awe the world!

But is the Holy Land Mary Geoise really a soft target, a cluster of boils?

Uchiha Tokumitsu did not think so.

Especially since there was an unknown Sage of Six Paths controlling the internal affairs of the city, and there might even be a so-called 'secret weapon' waiting for the ninja army to attack, he simply ordered the cannons on the top of the Reverse Mountain to start adjusting and launching bombardments into the city.

But the result of the bombardment was somewhat unexpected.

Even with the new heavy armor-piercing rounds, they only managed to create cratered marks on the high walls, without the devastating effect of the past.

Clearly, the sturdiness of the buildings in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise is unparalleled in the world.

Uchiha Tokumitsu, on the other hand, became somewhat suspicious.

He even wondered if he was just overthinking things, and maybe the Sage of Six Paths was just setting up an "empty city ploy"?

"Order the Guiyi Navy and the Sanfan Volunteers to prepare to launch an attack from the left and right sides of the city walls. Modify the high ground turrets with explosive shells to provide barrage fire cover!"

After much hesitation, Uchiha Tokumitsu decided to give it a try, thinking that perhaps the Holy Land of Mary Geoise could really be taken in one fell swoop.

Anyway, the role of these troops, which were reorganized from former naval pirates, was originally to serve as vanguards and cannon fodder to test firepower.

Meanwhile, as the organized navy pirates prepared to launch an attack in a chaotic manner, the seven tailed beasts under Uchiha Tokumitsu began to condense tailed beast balls in their mouths, preparing to join forces to do something big; while the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Yagura Karatachi, submerged underwater to wait for his move.

"Tailed Beast Ball!"

After a while, the seven tailed beasts, each of different sizes, unleashed their tailed beast balls from their mouths, heading straight for the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!

Meanwhile, two cannon fodder native armies also entered their positions, preparing to storm Mary Geoise after the landslide.

However, just as the Eight-Tailed Gyūki's Tailed Beast Ball approached the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, a strange colorless ripple suddenly appeared on the city wall, blocking the flight path of the Tailed Beast Ball.

The same applies to the subsequent six Tailed Beast Balls!

"burst!"

The Eight-Tails, whose combat experience was second only to the Nine-Tails, was the first to sense something was wrong and immediately detonated the Tailed Beast Ball through mental control!

"Boom boom boom!"

As the Tailed Beast Ball exploded, the ripples on the walls of the Holy Land Mary Geoise, which appeared to be a defensive barrier, surged even more violently.

Subsequently, the other six tailed beasts also sensed the invisible ripples eroding and controlling the tailed beast balls, and they also detonated their tailed beast balls one after another. Only the tailed beast ball of the weakest one-tailed beast, Shukaku, was bounced back!

"Diamond Lockdown!"

Nine whirlpool sealing ninjas immediately leaped up and swung their golden chains to tear apart the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Your Majesty, that seems to be a special sealing technique barrier..."

Another Uzumaki sealing ninja who hadn't yet made a move noticed something and stepped forward to report: "Judging from its characteristics, it's likely a special barrier that automatically activates specifically to deal with high-density chakra crystals, and it should have decent ninjutsu defensive capabilities..."

The Tailed Beast Ball is the most refined crystallization of chakra.

"...What about the armor-piercing shell from earlier?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu asked, frowning.

"The chakra content of armor-piercing bullets is relatively insufficient. I estimate that the enemy designed this barrier to counter explosive bullets and higher-level ninjutsu..."

The vortex-sealing ninja shared his conjecture.

Simply put, this barrier has the characteristic of "not releasing the hawk until it sees the rabbit," meaning that it might completely ignore ordinary ninjutsu and ninja tool attacks.

But this also proves that the people in the city must have a very deep connection with the ninja world, otherwise this world without chakra could not have created such a strange barrier.

'The Sage of Six Paths...'

Uchiha Tokumitsu's expression turned somewhat gloomy.

Who else could create such a strange sealing barrier besides the Sage of Six Paths, who established the Pure Land and possessed the souls of the strongest people in the ninja world for thousands of years?

Moreover, if he can summon Hashirama Senju to fight for him, will he also summon other powerful ninjas who have died?

After much deliberation, Uchiha Tokumitsu decided to have the six tailed beasts, excluding the One-Tailed Shukaku, continue firing Tailed Beast Balls to shatter the sealing barrier first!

……

The Palace of the Sky Throne within the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

The once solemn World Conference Hall has been turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Apart from the Five Elders who are trembling in fear, all the adult Celestial Dragons have fallen dead here, serving as a 'catalyst' for the great 'Lord Im' to activate an even more mysterious ancient weapon!

Although the Celestial Dragons are a special species that exist to summon mysterious weapons, even the arrogant Five Elders are trembling with fear in the current environment.

To be honest, such a direct killing scene was very different from what they remembered 'Lord Im' doing.

However, due to the existence of some kind of 'thought imprint', the Five Elders did not doubt whether 'Lord Im' was telling the truth—or rather, at this moment, they had no one else to rely on but 'Lord Im'.

“Igor…”

After completing the special ritual, 'Lord Im' slowly came to his senses and faced the Five Elders kneeling in the pool of blood.

"exist!"

The scientific defense of the war god Jaygolucia Satan Saint immediately responded.

"The activation of the most ancient weapon will still take some time. Next, it is up to you to summon Hades and break the barrier to the new world!"

"I will obey!"

The scientifically defending war god, Jaigolusia Satan, bowed once more.

The other four people cast envious, jealous, and hateful glances at them.

The previous "Sea King" attack was personally carried out by "Lord Im," but now the authority to awaken "Pluto" has been directly handed over to Saint Egorusia Satan. This shows that the old man indeed holds a special place in "Lord Im's" heart!

Afterwards, when the Five Elders saw 'Lord Im' turn around again, they remained silent for a while, then bowed and left the hall.

"What a miraculous and powerful force..."

Gazing at the peculiar ripples constantly surging around the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the Five Elders couldn't help but marvel at the power of 'Lord Im'.

"Those rebels outside the city probably have no idea what kind of traps await them!"

"Once Hades arrives on the battlefield, their so-called new warships will be completely destroyed under their invincible attack!"

"That's right, that's right, everything will be alright!"

Just as the Five Elders were boasting to each other, a new barrage of Tailed Beast Balls finally broke the already turbulent sealing barrier! Two Tailed Beast Balls fell into the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, razing a large area to the ground!

"This……"

The five elders were dumbfounded.

"Hades! Summon Hades at once!"

"It will take quite a while for the ancient warships to arrive from the burial site in Wano Country. Summon them quickly!"

The five elders, who had been engaged in a lively discussion, were suddenly thrown into chaos.

"quiet!"

An angry shout immediately rang out from the Throne of the Sky Palace, causing the Five Elders to tremble like quails.

"Immortal Technique: Four Red Sun Formation!"

Left with no other choice, the Sage of Six Paths had to forcefully activate the Four Red Sun Formation, known for its strongest defense, to block the overwhelming barrage of explosive projectiles.

But in his perception, the tailed beasts outside the Holy Land of Mary Geoise had begun to condense the Tailed Beast Ball once again.

"It's this technique..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was in charge of the attack, frowned again.

The ninjas from Konoha immediately became agitated.

Even if they had never actually seen what the Four Red Sun Formation looked like before, they had at least learned about it from the information; but none of that was the key point. The key point was why this secret technique of the Thousand Hands clan had ended up in the hands of the pseudo-world government!

As a result, some radical ninjas in the ninja army began to clamor for returning to the village to "pacify the village" and punish the Senju clan, who were suspected of colluding with the enemy!

"...This is not a secret technique of the Senju clan."

However, the Uzumaki Sealing Ninja had a different opinion: "Aside from the fact that the sealing techniques look exactly the same, this sealing technique has little to do with the Thousand Hands Secret Technique..."

"So how do we break it?"
