The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

Under this provocation, Im, whose emotions were extremely unstable, began to scream and roar uncontrollably, like a bipolar child.

With a piercing scream that drowned out the rolling thunder, a black cloud suddenly appeared from the dark clouds, and dense black lightning bolts struck down from it, ravaging Mary Geoise below.

The luxurious palace complexes seemed to come alive at that moment, sprouting eyes, mouths, and noses, grinning and bobbing up and down in cheers.

Under Im's influence, Mary Geoise, once known as the "Holy Land," has become worse than hell itself.

The once arrogant Celestial Dragons collapsed to the ground, their bubble masks slipping off and rolling aside. They could no longer display any of their "descendants of gods" arrogance. Some were even so frightened that they wet their pants...

on the sea

The ship, flying the World Government flag, sailed through the waves, but the five elders, seated around a table in their cabin, were solemn and hesitant.

Not long ago, Satan Saint received an urgent report from Navy Admiral Kong, stating that Shepard John Saint intended to rebel against the World Government.

The source of this information was John Saint's lover... Rear Admiral Ou.

Immediately afterwards, the Air Force called again to report that Colonel Gavin Reed of the Navy's G-10 branch had also reported John St., suspecting him of having ulterior motives.

And Gavin Reed was once John Saint's lieutenant!

Chapter 169 "Purgatory" Mary Geoise

The whistleblower's report from his intimate bedmate and confidant was not something the Five Elders could afford to ignore. Their first thought was to call John to verify the information.

But! The phone call didn't go through.

It wasn't just John's phone that couldn't get through; it was every Den Den Mushi in Mary Geoise that couldn't get through!

Even more seriously, the five elders tried to contact Lord Im through the "Abyss Contract," but received no response for a long time.

"Could the report be true? Did Saint John attack Lord Im? Is that why we haven't been able to contact Lord Im for so long?"

"Perhaps John Saint would dare to attack Lord Im, but Lord Im is invincible in Mary Geoise. John Saint alone cannot cause any trouble."

"Why isn't Lord Im responding to us?"

"..."

After much discussion, the five elders could not reach any conclusion.

They knew full well that Lord Im's strength was far beyond what John could challenge, but their inability to contact Lord Im was a cause for concern.

"Damn it, the Knights of God are on a mission abroad, and after 'Pluton' appeared, we ordered Korin and the others to rush to Wano Country. Mary Geoise has no manpower available at all."

"What should we do then? Should we turn back to Mary Geoise?"

"No need, trust in Lord Im's power."

Finally, Satan gave his answer with a deep, mysterious gaze.

Upon hearing this, the other four stars nodded in agreement, having no doubt about Im's power.

The most urgent task for the five of them is to complete their mission: to obtain the ancient weapon "Pluto" or destroy it.

……

Mary Geoise

He's gone mad, Im has gone mad!

Driven mad and irrational, it ignores the calls of the Five Elders in the "Abyss Pact" and attacks all creatures in Mary Geoise without distinguishing friend from foe.

The buildings, imbued with life, frantically tore at and devoured the Celestial Dragons, guards, and slaves...

Beneath the hard stone wall came a dull, creaking sound, and fine cracks spread rapidly. The originally neat and exquisite carved window frames suddenly twisted and deformed, and the sharp stone window frames rolled inward, opening and closing, turning into countless ferocious stone jaws.

The towering, straight spire trembled slightly, its sharp spikes stretching out and growing in disarray, like the fangs of a giant beast that had been dormant for a thousand years. The bunkers, corridors, and pillars surrounding the complex all came alive, the cold rocks emanating a vibrant, violent spirit, every brick and stone imbued with a destructive intent.

The once orderly, symmetrical, solemn and majestic holy site has been completely reduced to a group of hungry, ferocious, and irrational beasts of earth and stone!

The once high and mighty Celestial Dragons were now utterly reduced to lambs to the slaughter. They screamed in terror and fled, their magnificent garments torn to shreds in their frantic run, their once proud and noble faces now filled with utter fear and despair.

The crisscrossing stone corridors had already blocked all escape routes, and the awakened buildings seemed to possess sentience as they surrounded and crushed them. The walls on both sides suddenly closed, and the hard bricks and stones instantly squeezed and crushed several fleeing Celestial Dragons. Their flesh and blood covered the smooth jade-like walls, and in an instant, they were swallowed into the ground by the cracks in the stone, leaving not even a trace of remains.

The most tragic cases are those slaves who have been enslaved by the Celestial Dragons for generations, living a life of humiliation and subservience.

The awakened buildings showed no mercy; the cracked ground sprouted stone fangs, biting their ankles and dragging their bodies into the earth; the spiraling stone steps closed in and crushed, utterly crushing their humble lives; falling rubble from the roof and splintering stones from the walls ruthlessly reaped every vibrant life.

"John Saint, save us!"

"Come and get rid of those damn house monsters!"

“John Saint, our Don Quixote family and your Shepard family are old friends. Please save me first!”

"..."

Ironically, those foolish Celestial Dragons actually regarded John, the real culprit, as their savior, desperately calling out to him and pleading for his help.

John's response to this was...

Rumble

Thunder roared, like a torrential downpour from the sky, and countless winding bolts of lightning struck the earth, ravaging Mary Geoise into a scene of devastation and deep ravines.

The Celestial Dragons were either killed or injured, but the slaves escaped from the monsters' mouths and bodies.

Looking up at the sky, Im was still going crazy, his lung capacity so strong that his screaming continued for nearly ten minutes without stopping.

"So, emotional stability is very important."

John couldn't help but sigh.

When Im descended upon Elbaf in the future, he suddenly went berserk, roaring and howling amidst the fighting, which was incredibly frightening.

They are practically humanoid creatures that can't take care of themselves, have strange personalities, and are short-tempered!

"Is it really necessary to get so angry just because the Celestial Dragons mistook her for a sinner of the Lunaria clan?"

To be honest, John didn't understand at all.

Did Im not anticipate this day when he chose the body of the Lunaria clan?

John found a protruding boulder in the street, sat down, lit a cigarette, and quietly watched Im go mad in the air, without any intention of taking advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack.

It's not that he's great and righteous, but this state is extremely physically demanding. I want to see how long Im can go crazy, so I can make a physical assessment of Im.

"Hiss~ Whoosh!"

As John exhaled a puff of smoke, his "mind network" detected electromagnetic waves coming in from the outside.

"Whether it's the Five Elders or someone else, it doesn't matter, disrupt and isolate them all."

John interfered with the magnetic field again, causing the electromagnetic waves used for communication between Den Den Mushi to become completely disordered, making it impossible for them to interact.

As time passed, Im's roar continued...

The once clear artificial river was now completely stained red with blood, flowing gently down the jade steps and washing away the layers of corpses.

The once magnificent palace is now in ruins, a scene of utter devastation. Exquisite carved bricks and stones are stained with blood and flesh, and broken limbs, tattered robes, and scattered ornaments are everywhere.

The piercing wails, desperate roars, the ear-piercing creaking of bricks and stones, and the deafening rumble of collapsing buildings mingled together, echoing across the summit of the Red Earth Continent.

Finally, after a long time, when Mary Geoise had completely turned into a living hell, Im stopped, panting heavily.

Having regained his senses, Im paid no attention to the damage, nor did he care about the Celestial Dragons' deaths and injuries. Instead, his chest heaved violently as he turned to stare intently at the annoying figure below.

Im could sense that at this moment, he hated this guy named John even more than Joey Boy.

"I want you dead!"

"Then come on!"

Faced with the threat, John sat on the rock, casually shaking his leg, and gave Im the middle finger in return.

Immediately afterward, just as Im was about to rush toward John, the rolling dark clouds that had been covering Mary Geoise suddenly tore open a huge hole.

A torrent of flowing black metal crashed down from the clouds, causing Devil Fruit users to feel physically uncomfortable even from a distance, with an invisible sense of weakness creeping over their bodies and minds.

"what is this?"

Im quickly stopped and looked at the surging tide of metal with a frown and a puzzled expression.

Chapter 170 Desperate Situation!

"These are special things I prepared for you and Nika."

As John grinned menacingly, a torrent of metal descended from the sky, engulfing Im and sweeping towards him, devouring him.

In the blink of an eye, Im in the air was swallowed up and disappeared by the metal horde.

"It's Seastone!"

Inside the metal frenzy, Im was engulfed in raging black flames, isolating the inward-pressing seastone alloy from the outside.

However, due to the large quantity of Seastone, the ocean energy it emitted was too concentrated, causing him to feel weak even without contact with it.

In the face of a real crisis, Im remained remarkably calm, his pupils scanning his surroundings with composure. Through the combined detection of his naked eye and Observation Haki, he finally discovered the electromagnetic force circulating within the Seastone alloy.

"That's all there is to it."

Im curled his lip in disdain, raised his right middle finger, bent it and pressed it into his palm, then flicked it sharply.

A cluster of black flames was ejected and adhered to the inner wall of the circular, inwardly compressed sea stone alloy, burning and corroding it.

The next instant, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the area of ​​the inner wall of the Seastone alloy that was covered by black flames.

Im gave life to the Seastone alloy!

"Gods, beware!"

Just as Im was about to order the Seastone Alloy to disperse, a furious shout suddenly came from outside the Metal Frenzy.

Immediately afterwards, a longsword made of sea stone, crackling with purple lightning, pierced through the metal enclosure, its blade aimed straight at Im's neck.

In an instant, the narrow metal vortex became as bright as day, and the longsword, like a thunderous divine punishment, rapidly magnified and approached in Im's eyes, startling him so much that he hurriedly raised his hand to defend himself.

As Im grasped the sword's blade with his hands covered in Armament Haki, a clanging sound of metal clashing erupted. An immense force propelled him through the metal turmoil, causing him to appear beneath the sky and crash down at an angle.

boom

The towering and massive city of Pangaea was smashed through and collapsed by Im. John gripped the alloy sword hilt tightly with both hands and charged forward, pressing the undead monster into the deepest layer of rock below.

"You blocked it! You blocked it!"
