The entire sky was trembling, and in the blink of an eye, it was replaced by a black and red light.
Compared to the terrifying aura being transmitted from the distant direction at this moment, even the previous Aqua Laguna was nothing.
Gradually, the people on the battlefield all felt it.
An oppressive, suffocating, and stifling pressure came crushing down, causing the faces of countless people to change colour at this moment.
"What is that? What an unsettling aura, as if the entire sky is pressing down!"
"The heavens have changed colour again!" Countless people looked up at the sky above, a look of fear flashing in their eyes.
They did not know what was about to descend, but they could feel that terrifying aura and realise that something unfortunate was about to happen.
The expressions of top combatants like Aokiji and Kizaru also changed at this moment. Their faces were grim, and their gazes were fixed on their opponents.
"Is this your trump card?"
The four Five Elders did not respond, but looked at the sky with grim eyes.
They did not know if this ultimate weapon developed by the World Government could play a role in this war, but this was their only option.
Once the weapon displayed its intended effect, this war would enter a new stage.
Just then. The Pluton beneath Arashi's feet suddenly began to tremble violently.
Between the pitch-black cannon barrels all over its body, one ray of light after another began to bloom.
"VMMM~~"
A circle of air blast spread out in all directions with Pluton at its centre.
Then, at the muzzle of the giant main cannon at the bow of Pluton, a dazzling blue light lit up and then erupted forth.
"SWISH!"
A sharp whistling sound was frictioned into existence in the void.
A huge blue pillar of light shot up into the sky, and in just the blink of an eye, it had flown toward the distant void and disappeared.
Immediately after, the other secondary cannons of Pluton vibrated, spewing out a large number of crimson rays.
"VMMMMMM~"
The entire battlefield began to shake violently at this moment. The sky above everyone's heads had completely turned black and red.
The next second, countless meteors fell into the battlefield, erupting in towering flames, and one mushroom cloud after another rose.
"Ahh! What kind of weapon is that?"
"My god, I can't even withstand the air blast."
With one volley from Pluton, one after another, miserable screams and shrieks came from within the camp of the Seventy-Nation Coalition Army.
This was almost a saturation strike that could decide a war, its power exceeding that of any powerful cannonball on any warship.
At the same time, in the distant sky. Two balls of incandescent light also slammed into each other.
"BOOM!"
The dazzling light, at this moment, surpassed the light of the sun, spreading out in a farther direction. A massive shockwave radiated outwards in two arc-shaped slashes.
The birds that were close by vanished without a trace, without even the slightest awareness.
The sea surface below fell into absolute stillness at this moment.
When this mighty shockwave whistled past the sky above the island, the entire island was first quiet, and then, as if countless bombs had been dropped, a continuous sound of explosions came from the land, forests, and great mountains.
Then, this shockwave continued to move further away. When it reached a certain distance, it turned into a roaring, howling gale.
The entire sky at this moment seemed to have been twisted and shattered, appearing extremely turbulent.
Soon, this gale arrived above the waters near Water 7, having already become a monstrous, low roar that made the hearts of countless people tremble.
And at this time, the expressions of the four Five Elders also changed.
"It failed! The power of Pluton is in no way weaker than Uranus's and may even exceed it. Arashi has already obtained the world!"
Even if there was still a desire to resist in their hearts, at this moment, the four Five Elders also felt a sense of despair.
Even their ultimate weapon had failed, neutralised by the power of Pluton's main cannon. This also meant that they had played all their cards, and there was no longer any hope in this war.
.....
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day since the start of this war. On this day, Bullet led his generals and Marines to the battlefield, joining the war.
At the same time, Marines from all over the world were also pouring into this vast sea, forming an encirclement around the Seventy-Nation Coalition Army.
Arashi still stood at the bow of Pluton, his arms crossed. In his heart, this war no longer had any suspense.
The four Five Elders, under the siege of the many Marine powerhouses, were already showing signs of fatigue, with even more bloody marks on their bodies.
The current four Elders could be described in four words: a cornered beast's last struggle.
In the blink of an eye, the fifth day arrived. The Marine reinforcements were increasing.
By now, the total number of troops invested had reached one million two hundred thousand, and this was only the assembly of the Grand Line's Marines.
The Seventy-Nation Coalition Army was surrounded.
In this hopeless battle situation, at every moment, someone would desperately throw down their weapon, kneel on both knees, and announce their surrender.
An army in retreat is like a landslide. The battlefield on the sea was divided into seventy pieces.
The Seventy-Nation Coalition Army was fleeing, having completely given up on this war, while the Marines were splitting up to pursue them. The war had already reached its final stage.
The sixth day.
The Water 7 region, which had gathered nearly two million people, gradually calmed down.
Only between the icebergs of the central battlefield could the sounds of a great battle still be heard.
Arashi stood on the bow of Pluton, looking at the four figures in front of him, who were battered and bleeding yet still fighting stubbornly, his expression calm.
A large number of Marine generals had gathered around, all staring intently at the battlefield ahead of them.
Everyone could see that the four Elders were done for; they could no longer hold on.
Six days of war had pushed the four to their absolute limit.
The Marines attacked with superior numbers, and not a single person arrogantly attempted to end this battle through a one-on-one duel.
Just like that, by slowly boiling the frog, they had finally forced the four into a dead end.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro began to cough violently, spewing out large mouthfuls of blood.
On his body, there were several long, bloody gashes.
One was from Red-Hair, one was from Hawk-Eye, and one was from Saint Garling.
Finally, after using all his strength to swing his sword at the enemy in front of him one last time, his entire body crashed to the ground.
"Hahahahaha! Arashi, do you think this is the end? No, this is just the beginning! We will always understand the world better than you!"
Saint Topman Warcury roared with laughter and anger. The next second, he was struck down by the person in front of him and fell silent.
"Is it over? This seems to be a different kind of salvation as well."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said softly. He sighed and sat down on the ground with a plop, giving up resistance. Then, several long swords were placed on his neck.
"What kind of world can you bring them? Arashi!
"An empire in your name! It's just another Lord Imu!" Saint Marcus Mars said coldly.
As his voice fell, he was also brought down to the ground. With that, this final, world-sweeping battle had completely ended.
The Marines had won a great victory! A large number of Marines were first stunned, then they came to their senses, their eyes wide.
"We have captured the Five Elders? The war is over!"
"We are victorious! Justice is victorious!"
"This is great!"
In an instant, excited and exhilarated voices spread across the entire battlefield. Countless people raised the longswords in their hands at this moment, cheering loudly.
Arashi leapt down from the bow of Pluton. He scanned his surroundings, and after finding nothing unusual, he strode over to the four captured men.
The serious expression on his face transformed into a smile.
"Take them away!"
Hearing this, the Marines in charge of the Four Elders took a deep breath and then shouted with the loudest voice they had ever used in their lives.
"YES!!"
A quarter of an hour later, the Four Elders were put in heavy shackles.
A large number of warships sailed majestically toward Marine Headquarters.
And the news had long since spread to the surrounding islands and cities.
Along the way, wherever the Marine warships went, the streets and alleys were filled with the sounds of laughter and celebration.
"The Government has changed! What a historic moment!"
"From this day on, the World Government, which has ruled the world for eight hundred years, will become dust in the annals of history!"
"Arashi, this man will become the pinnacle of history! In the years to come, his story will be endlessly passed down."
"Tomorrow morning will be a brand new moment! The world, what will it look like next?"
Countless people were discussing this world. After the excitement and exhilaration, they calmed down and began to think about the future.
Undoubtedly, they had experienced an era and were at an important time of historical change.
But the future, would it become better or worse? No one could tell them the answer to this question.
Only tomorrow could.
On that day, a massive fleet of warships, escorting the Seventy-Nation Coalition Army, was sent to Marineford.
The important enemies among them were sent to the New World, to the Floating Great Prison above Dressrosa.
The slightly less important enemies were sent to Impel Down. One war had left these two prisons overcrowded.
In the near future, the relevant departments responsible for trials and imprisonment would be extremely busy, and Arashi, at this time, had already returned to Marineford.
A large amount of post-war work was naturally handled by the five Fleet Admirals and the numerous flag officers. He had temporarily returned to a state of leisure.
On the afternoon of that day, Marine Headquarters issued a bounty poster.
"Imu!"
"Bounty: Ten Billion!"
As soon as this bounty poster was issued, it caused a sensation in the world.
Before this name was announced, countless people in the world did not know what it represented, but the information revealed by Marine Headquarters shocked the world.
"The ruler behind the scenes of the World Government, the god whom the Five Elders called Lord Imu!"
Just these short words were enough to make countless people hold their breath. One could imagine the power and terror of this mysterious figure behind the scenes.
