The sea breeze howled, and waves surged high.
Shano finally withdrew his gaze from the direction of Mary Geoise.
This battle was barely satisfying enough.
Imu's retreat not only made that guy unable to pretend to be gods anymore, looking down on the sea with that haughty gaze;
It also caused a severe destabilization of the greatest reliance of the World Government!
Next.
Once he advances further, with confidence to defeat Imu's true form, it will almost be the time for the Endgame to ascend to the Holy Land and start the final showdown with the old order!
As for now...
"It's time to go back, I wonder if I can still make it to the end."
Shano grinned.
When he came, he was afraid of being too late.
So after leaving the Five Elders' sight, he directly spent 2000 points to activate the territory teleport function.
He teleported to his territory closest to Sphinx.
Starting from there, he shortened the time by nearly half and barely made it, successfully thwarting the Five Elders' plot to turn the old man Whitebeard into a Demon.
But now, if he goes back.
Several hours have already passed.
Whitebeard, who had left early, should have almost arrived even with the paddle of a massive raft.
The war is most likely over; he doesn't need to be there anymore.
He need not waste points just to save a little more time now.
"Let's go!"
Shano stretched his muscles and bones, once again feeling the surging power within his body clearly.
The effect of the Saiyan bloodline at once elevated his overall strength in all aspects.
— If the previous self had to expend considerable effort facing an Emperor General level powerhouse, as both sides were still within the same major realm;
Now, the level is entirely different!
Such level powerhouses, in front of him, are hardly any different from speed bumps, taking care of them is merely a matter of three punches and a few kicks!
Bang!
Shano's figure suddenly disappeared from the original spot, leaving only a circle of spreading sonic boom clouds.
His speed was faster than before, like a black and red lightning cutting through the sky, heading straight to the battlefield.
......
Earlier, at the front lines of the battlefield.
"Damn it!"
The enormous skeletal horse formed by Saint Nusjuro emitted an angry neigh, his eyes filled with horror.
Just now, he clearly sensed the disappearance of his master's presence... No, it should be said that he left the Blue Sea, returning to the Holy Land.
But no matter what, this means that Lord Yim's vessel has been defeated!
How could this be!
That was his master personally taking action, how could he possibly lose?
Could it be that guy, that man, has truly become so powerful now?!!!
"It's not a good habit to get distracted in a fight."
A cool female voice came from above.
Angewomon spread her eight wings, pulling a golden longbow tight, aiming her holy arrows straight at Saint Nusjuro's brow, and shouted sternly:
"Absolute Holy Arrow!"
Oh no!
Saint Nusjuro drastically changed, unable to block the arrow in time!
Swish!
The arrow broke through the air, hitting Saint Nusjuro's forehead accurately.
The holy energy clashed fiercely with the undying power, emitting a piercing corrosive sound.
"Ugh ah ah ah ah!"
Saint Nusjuro roared in agony, although he barely managed to fend off the arrow eventually, his forehead was burned with a large hole, and black blood flowed incessantly.
He swung the Demon Sword Kitetsu, attempting to counterattack Angewomon, but his actions were noticeably slower compared to before.
Previously able to withstand the restrictive relations and block Angewomon alone was because his basic abilities were superior, with higher basic values overall.
But this arrow significantly weakened his state, making it hard to sustain.
Cannot continue fighting like this!
Saint Nusjuro withstood the intense pain, suddenly raising his head and let out a roar of unwillingness:
"All troops, heed my command: retreat! Retreat!"
This command spread across the entire battlefield, leaving all the Navy commanders dumbfounded, expressions of surprise on their faces.
"Ha? Retreat?!"
Ryokugyu, who was fiercely battling Fujitora, also looked back in disbelief, "My lord, what's happening, didn't you say that reinforcements were coming soon..."
Clenching on with gritted teeth until now, hoping for this.
But now?
"The situation has changed, shut up and follow the orders!"
Saint Nusjuro shouted angrily, putting all his might into a swing, temporarily forcing back Angewomon, then turned his gaze to Akainu.
"Sakazuki!"
Saint Nusjuro roared harshly, "Obey the order, cover the retreat! Now!"
These backstabbing old heads!
Akainu's face was as dark as iron, but as a soldier, he ultimately threw a full-powered punch, blasting Aokiji back, yelling angrily at the whole army:
"All warships turn! Break through and retreat at any cost! Officers above Vice Admiral rank are responsible for covering the rear! Aramaki, create a way out!"
"Yes, senior, it's really frustrating... but there's no other way!"
Rumble——
A massive amount of vines surged below the Navy Headquarters fleet, transforming the terrain back into the sea while starting to help the warships steer in the new direction.
And at this moment.
Swish!
A golden light appeared on the horizon, dazzling and bright, causing countless people to subconsciously look up.
"That... must be Grand Admiral Kizaru!"
"It can't be wrong!"
"The Grand Admiral is finally here!"
The once dull eyes of the Navy soldiers reignited with hope; isn't this the reinforcement they were waiting for?
But as the golden light moved closer, they horrifically discovered—
Boom!
Kizaru's figure fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground, awkwardly exiting his elementalization state, spewing a mouthful of blood.
"Gurararara!"
Whitebeard's laughter followed from a distance, his massive form stamped across the sky with Moonwalk, Murakumogiri entwining with black-red lightning, slicing down with a strike!
