——Because Shano actually split that bloodstained crescent moon in half, and with one in each hand, forcibly stuffed them back into the gap in the skull!
"Ahhhh!!!"
The next moment, a scream several times more shrill than before reverberated across the battlefield!
Saint Garling's tears and snot flowed uncontrollably, his ten fingers scratching the ground, plowing ten deep trenches into the hardwood.
Clearly, he was being stepped on by Shano and couldn't move.
But even so, he continued to struggle frantically, trying desperately to crawl away like a maggot!
Demon!
This man is simply too powerful and too brutal!
Such a guy is the real demon! A true demon that crawled out from Hell!
"Hmm, why won't it fit?"
Shano's voice resounded softly, "Looks like I need to add some strength."
No, no!
Saint Garling had a bad premonition flash through his mind, extreme fear and panic making him struggle even more.
But it was ultimately useless; Shano's right foot suddenly exerted force, kicking at the top of the crescent moon twice!
Thunk!
The two halves of the crescent moon immediately pierced Garling's skull like sharp blades, each emerging from his eye sockets!
And immediately afterwards, Shano drew the tachi from behind him.
Just like last time on Thunder God Island, his tachi always contained a holy energy granted by Angewomon.
Adhering it to the blade, then enveloping it in excessive Supreme King Qi...
In front of him!
There was no immortal body!
"You can't kill me! You can't kill me!"
Saint Garling wept and roared in despair, "The master's plan wasn't supposed to be like this, wasn't supposed to be like this! Why are you so strong? Why do you have to end it so quickly? Damn it, we were just one step away, can't you just wait obediently for that guy to come back..."
That guy coming back?
Shano frowned.
"Plan? What plan, explain it in more detail."
But Garling only had incoherent mad ravings left, clearly on the brink of a mental breakdown under the pressure of death.
Shano's gaze turned cold, saying nothing more.
Thunk!
The blade, wrapped in black-red thunder, came slashing down!
Garling's head rolled to the side, and after a few violent twitches of the enormous body, it finally went limp, with no further sound.
The sea breeze blew past.
Shano's black hair fluttered, his expression indifferent, as he casually shook off the purple-black blood from the blade and sheathed it.
A silence settled.
The previous explosion caused by Shano against Sengoku Demon Buddha was so intense that many people were distracted, paying attention to this side.
And just like that.
Tens of thousands of Navy Soldiers, Whitebeard Pirates members, and Seven Warlords of the Sea...
Witnessed with their own eyes Saint Garling, head of the Five Elders and core of the World Government, revered as a god, being beheaded!
"..."
The entire battlefield seemed as if a pause button had been pressed.
Almost everyone's gaze fixed on the massive head that rolled to the side.
The Whitebeard Pirates immediately erupted in resounding cheers.
"Bwahahahaha!"
Diamond Jozu punched away the Navy blocking him, laughing, "Did you see that, bastards! Your pillar has turned into a corpse!"
"Winning so quickly even against two opponents, what a terrifying man."
Buffalo Atmos scratched his head, "I've never seen this before. Now I understand why old man and Marco could leave with ease, with strength like that... I'd be at ease too!"
On the Seven Warlords of the Sea's side, the situation was somewhat complicated...
A certain onion-headed chubby guy had sensed the ominous situation half an hour ago and slipped away quietly amidst the ongoing chaos, not witnessing this scene.
Meanwhile, Hancock was sitting on the ground, blushing and clutching her chest, "As expected of Lord Shano... so, so dashing..."
Oh no, her heart was beating too fast... too fast!
Thump!
Her graceful figure fell backward, and just before her eyes closed completely, her hazy vision captured her two sisters rushing towards her in panic.
Only Mihawk's reaction seemed more normal.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught the moment Shano flicked away the blood and sheathed his sword, making his pupils constrict.
On the battlefield, he personally beheaded the head of the Five Elders?
To accomplish this feat, truly lives up to the name of the world's greatest Sword Master.
But precisely because of this...
Today, by any means necessary, I must find an opportunity to seek guidance face-to-face!
...
Compared to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Navy's reaction here was basically unanimous.
"Ga... Garling Saint... is dead?"
A Navy Giant Race Vice Admiral's lips trembled, filled with fear, as the giant axe in his hand clattered to the ground, "And, and Marshal of the Warring States, just like that, they're all dead?"
Since Endgame published, the names of the Five Elders were no longer a secret.
Although the bounty explicitly states these guys are just ordinary people who ate the Mythical fruits and were granted an immortal ability.
But being inherently noble and having a long lifespan, there were still many Marines who, for various reasons, truly regarded those old men as gods.
And the result...
Even two against one, they were easily slaughtered by that man?
"Marshal of the Warring States is down, the Five Elders are down too..."
Vice Admiral Doberman stood aside, his face ashen, muttering in a daze, "Is the result of this war already destined?"
The answer is almost written on their faces.
On the vast battlefield, as people finally snapped out of their shock, signs of collapse instantly appeared in the Navy camp!
"Run! Run quickly!"
"Completely no match for them anymore!"
"That Shano is free to act now, if we don't retreat, none of us will escape!"
Unsure who shouted first, many Marines still locked in fierce battle completely lost their fighting spirit, dropped their weapons, and fled in madness.
"Stop right there, cowards!"
Akainu temporarily repelled Aokiji with a punch, roaring in fury.
With a casual punch, he launched fiercely burning magma, instantly melting the five or six Marines closest to him into charred remains.
"Mr. Sa... Sakazuki!"
The surrounding ring of Marines was instantly scared, stuttering, and froze in place, no longer daring to retreat.
Akainu's cold gaze swept in another direction.
The Marines over there, retreating while fighting, suddenly faced the situation, exchanged glances, and steeled themselves to stand firm again.
Only then did Akainu retract his gaze.
This is the commanding presence of a Grand Admiral!
But unfortunately, this had little effect on the overall situation of the battlefield.
If viewed from a high point, overlooking the vast navy headquarters force of fifty thousand, at least several thousand were fleeing.
Members of the Whitebeard Pirates in the distance, still unclear about the situation, were dumbfounded!
"Sakazuki, my predecessor!"
Ryokugyu spoke in a bitter tone, "Hey, predecessor, it's still better to retreat! The situation is truly dire, if we continue fighting... if we fight to the end... we will all die here!"
"Aramaki!"
Akainu's anger intensified, this guy, as a Navy Grand Admiral, dared to shake the morale publicly, what nerve!
But within his heart...
He couldn't help but acknowledge that the other's words were objectively rational, and the situation was even worse than that.
Because that Shano was already coming this way!
Is the tide unrecoverable?!
Akainu stared at Saint Garling's head, and that tall figure striding across it, his face livid.
Today's retreat, don't even mention attacking the territory of Endgame.
The entire New World would likely be handed over to others!
Navy Headquarters would henceforth only be in a defensive posture!
Just then...
"Hold on a little longer for me!"
An enraged voice sounded from above, it was Saint Nusjuro.
His huge Horse Bone body was now scarred and dripping with black blood all over.
Evidently.
Even if his power was superior, even if his body's immortal Qi was specially reinforced, in front of Angewomon who naturally restrained him, he was still at a disadvantage.
"Listen well, mortals!"
Saint Nusjuro slashed out several Sword Qi at Angewomon, temporarily suppressing her, taking a moment to shout fiercely below:
"Although the plan fell behind the changes, it is about to succeed, reinforcements will arrive at any moment!"
"Besides Navy Admiral Kizaru, an even stronger presence will join the battlefield, and then it will be the time for us to completely reverse the situation!"
"Old me is still fighting here, how could I deceive you all? Sakazuki, hold your men, do not retreat!!!"
