Chapter 277: The Shock of the Falling Meteorites
"I am just a new soldier. I was grateful to you for not abandoning me and taking me into the revolutionary army to learn."
The blind swordsman smiled, and the stone carrying him floating in the air also moved towards the shadow in the sky.
"I used to think that being blind was a blessing. There are too many filthy and despicable people in this world that are hard to bear to look at."
"It was you who brought me into the revolutionary army and made me realize how cowardly I was in the past."
"If all you see is darkness, then use yourself as a spark to dispel all the darkness and illuminate this world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the blind swordsman pushed hard with his right hand that was holding the hilt of the sword.
The supreme sword Black Fireline was unsheathed, and a purple halo suddenly spread out from it.
"Om..."
"boom!!"
The giant sea beast that was originally devouring Marinford suddenly collapsed, and even the island was pressed down again by this gravity.
"what……"
His domineering aura burst out, and his fruit ability was exerted to its fullest at this moment.
Not far away, Ginny on the somersault cloud stretched out her hand to block the backflow of air, with a look of worry on her face.
The gravity fruit, plus Mr. Yixiao's development of the fruit's ability, with one blow like this, Marinford's defenses that were arranged previously... will be okay?
It was also at this time that the already pitch-black Marinford became even darker.
The navy and revolutionary army members who were thrown into a daze did not notice it, but the Five Elders who were firmly nailed to the spot and several top fighters all noticed the changes on the battlefield.
"what is that?"
Saint Vochuli's eyes suddenly widened: "But he has just awakened his authority, so it is impossible for him to master the power of advent!"
Mazsheng turned his head and looked at Kevin, who was also fixed in place: "Not him? How is that possible!"
Peter Saint on the side turned into a sandworm, jumped up and drilled into the broken ice.
The next moment, a huge mouthpart emerged from the ice and bit Kevin.
"It's not your turn yet, old fools. Get out!"
He swung the Zanpakuto in his hand, and a huge explosion of flames swept towards the sandworm, and the recoil force knocked Kevin back into the air.
"Boom boom boom..."
The blazing flames suddenly erupted, and the entire sandworm was blown to pieces with a loud roar.
The next moment, the light shield covering Marinford suddenly jumped up again, and everyone was thrown away by the centrifugal force.
Soon, Peter Saint, who had recovered from his injuries, returned to the other three and fixed his body firmly to the ground again.
"not him."
This is the conclusion drawn after the sudden attack just now.
Nasujuro Sheng looked solemn as he raised his head to look at the light shield that flashed by. At this moment, Marinford was still spinning like a ball.
In the consciousness communication space of the Five Elders, Saint Vocuri said anxiously: "They are targeting weapons!"
As soon as the words fell, Saint Satan suddenly stood up between the powers of Mary Joa.
"asshole!!!"
With a curse, black thunder exploded and smashed all the furniture in the power room to pieces.
Therefore, the strategic goal of the revolutionary army was not just to rescue its members, they had been planning to destroy the national treasure from the very beginning.
"It's simply... unforgivable!"
Saint Satan was so angry that he spoke without thinking, because he knew very well that if a national treasure was damaged, it would mean being replaced for them.
At this time, a voice appeared in the consciousness communication space.
"It's not a weapon."
For a moment, the anxious voices of the Five Elders paused.
Yim's voice then sounded again: "It's just a meteorite."
Saint Vochuli asked hurriedly: "If the energy is insufficient after launching the attack just now..."
Yim: "It won't harm the moon."
Mazisheng: “Understood!”
Then, Yim's connection disappeared.
At this moment, the rotating Marinford slowed down under the influence of gravity and gradually stopped.
So... everyone saw a terrifying scene.
Borsalino looked up at the sky: "What is this? It's even bigger than the clouds covering Marinford!"
Kuzan on the side was also a little stunned.
Although such a scene would not cause any damage to the top combat forces on this battlefield, such a huge meteorite falling from the sky is still extremely shocking from a human perspective.
"Are you trying to destroy the ancient weapons of the Celestial Dragons?"
Kuzan paused as he spoke, looking towards the gentleman in the distance.
On the side of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon stood with Kevin.
The strong wind swept the Pacifists and pinned them down, preventing the unconscious members who were rescued from being thrown out.
"Gravity Fruit? What a terrifying scene."
Dragon looked up at the sky: "If we can shoot down the ancient weapons of the Celestial Dragons, the subsequent gradual liberation plan will have fewer casualties..."
"Hopefully."
Kevin looked solemn: "The power of Poseidon's weapon lies in the huge sea kings, and Pluto, the god of the underworld, intimidates Marijoa. If we use such a huge meteorite to test it, the final result is unknown."
On the other side, Sengoku, Garp and four others were also looking at the huge shadow in the sky.
"Hahahaha! The Revolutionary Army is truly amazing!" Garp laughed.
Zhan Guo at the side shook his head slightly: "The reason why it is so shocking is because it is so huge, but even if it is you or me, we can crush it with a single point."
"uncertain."
Crane retorted: "Whether it is a person or a weapon, launching an attack requires a source of energy. After the attack just now, how much energy defense does this ancient weapon of the Celestial Dragon have left..."
Zefa: “Here we come.”
"Boom boom boom..."
The pressure caused by the huge impact pushed the dark clouds down, and a huge circle was pressed out on the entire sea level.
The troubled island of Marinford was shrouded in a halo of light, but was once again pressed into the seabed.
For a moment, many people were thrown away again.
……
Similarly, this scene was broadcast all over the world.
For a time, the horror of the war in Marinford once again refreshed the common people's cognition.
"A meteorite falling from the sky... such an attack... is it really possible for a human to do it?"
"If it fell from the sky over Rogue Town, no one would survive, right?"
"What kind of power does the Revolutionary Army possess?"
"Will the World Government, which has ruled the world for eight hundred years, fail in this war?"
"No one can be sure what the world will be like after today!"
"A meteorite bigger than an island... The weapons used by the World Government to launch an attack like that just now will be destroyed!"
……
Magic Valley Town Bar.
A group of pirates representing the transition of the four seas to the Grand Line were also watching the projection.
The bar owner Terry had already stopped his work, and no pirate asked him for wine at this time. They were all concentrating on watching this war that would change the world.
"Gu..."
The sound of swallowing saliva continued.
This group of normally fearless new pirates were now stunned by the projected images.
"This is... fake, right? How is it possible..."
"Does the Revolutionary Army want to perish together? How could anyone survive a meteorite this huge?"
“Is this the power at the top of the world? Is this the power that is above the top of the world on the Grand Line?”
"If I remember correctly... the Revolutionary Army will also take action against the pirates."
"I...I think...the profession of pirate is not suitable for me."
"Me too... guh. I don't think farming is that hard."
……
The bar owner looked at these innocent and stupid new pirates with disdain.
At this time, a man pushed open the door of the bar and walked in.
"Excuse me, are the Black Dog Pirates, Low-lying Pirates, and Aoki Pirates... here?"
After reporting a series of names, the man looked up at everyone in the bar.
For a moment, the pirates who were disturbed from watching the live broadcast stood up with dissatisfaction on their faces.
"Who are you? Do you want to die?"
The man smiled and said, "It's not you, it's you guys. I'm not alone, but my companions have gone to other taverns and restaurants. There's also a pirate gathering place here, the Tropical Hotel, right?"
Behind him, two voices sounded.
"Captain, please hurry up. There is no need to ask in such a polite manner when there is already irrefutable evidence."
"That's right. It's a shame for us not to be able to go to Marinford. After completing the mission, I will do triple training today."
After the words fell, the three of them walked into the tavern.
The captain rubbed his forehead helplessly, then looked at the document in his hand and said, "The Black Dog Pirates massacred two villages before entering the Grand Line from the South China Sea, killing 139 people and looting the villagers' wealth. This is recorded."
"The 112th Squad of the Revolutionary Army's Grand Line, the first half, will be conducting executions, collecting illegal gains, counting them, and returning them."
Revolutionary Army?!
For a moment, the crowd in the pub was silent.
The shocking scene just projected was still there, and they had a natural fear of the revolutionary army.
"Team? You guys are the ones who want to execute me?"
A pirate stood up, and under the activation of the power of the fruit, he turned into a black dog.
But the next moment...
"Shh!"
"boom!"
A hammer hit it and the brain burst.
"From now on, pirates will no longer be allowed in Demon Valley Town."
"Those who have killed ordinary people in the past will be executed on the spot. Those who have never committed a crime can continue their voyage as adventurers."
As soon as the captain finished speaking, the tavern became chaotic.
At this time, in the projection screen, the huge meteorite falling from the sky has now hit the sea.
Whether it was the weapons covered by the dark clouds in the sky or Marinford below them, they were all intact at this moment. [Note: In reality, a meteorite falling from the sky would cause a world-destroying disaster. But in the anime, the power is really a bit disappointing. So don't tell me about the acceleration of gravity and the power of meteorites falling from space. The author knows the example of the extinction of dinosaurs. Thank you! ]
……
"boom!!"
The huge waves were pushed away by the impact of the meteorite, and Marinford floated up again, but was hit from all sides by the sea water.
The shaking Marinford has now become a ruin. The whole island seems to have been leveled, with ice and building ruins mixed together.
All the buildings that once symbolized the headquarters of the navy also collapsed.
It was not until the shaking subsided a little that one figure after another stood up from the ruins.
"boom!"
The rubble exploded, and the clones, whose bodies were twisted and distorted, started to hit their bodies, but soon they returned to their previous appearance.
The agents of the CP agency were also breathing heavily at this moment.
Although the iron block's defense has always performed poorly in actual combat, it plays a big role under this kind of long-term collision damage.
If they used domineering power for a long time, these people who were not considered high-level fighters would have been exhausted and crushed to death long ago.
In contrast, the Revolutionary Army and the Navy also began to gather behind their respective top combat forces.
At this time, the outermost group was the pacifists who rescued 359 unconscious members.
Kevin looked up at the sky: "As expected, there is still the power of defense."
Dorag at the side also sighed: "Although it is a pity, sir, it is time to carry out the next plan."
Kevin nodded, took out the communicator and pressed: "Stop the energy supply, open the entrance and exit, and maintain the space isolation."
As the words fell, the flame patterns of the light shield covering Marinford slowly receded, and then the light shield began to descend.
Zhan Guo and others were stunned when they saw this scene.
The ancient weapon in the air is still there. Remove the light shield at this time in case the opponent attacks again.
"They can indeed launch an attack like the one just now, but they are reluctant to do so."
A communicator was picked up by Zhan Guo.
Kevin's voice sounded inside: "The ancient weapon's attack requires energy to gather. This time is enough for the defense device to start again."
Zhan Guo frowned, and He beside him said, "What are your plans next, sir? From the beginning of this war to now, none of the Five Elders have been truly injured."
Karp said in a deep voice: "It's not that they can't be injured. The damage caused by all attacks is real, but they can recover at a very fast speed."
"So, if the photo published by the New Times is true, and burning them to ashes cannot really kill them, then it will be very difficult to deal with them."
Kevin replied: "So I will need your support next."
Two people?
The four older generations in the navy looked at each other and immediately knew who the two were.
Zefa: "This is looked down upon."
Crane: "So all but the top fighters have to retreat, right?"
Kevin replied in the communicator: "It's not that I look down on him. Although the will of the former Black Arm Zefa is recovering due to the subtle influence of the New Era Newspaper, it is not very effective at this level."
"Besides... the entire Marinford may be reduced to charcoal next. If your domineering power does not reach a certain level, there is no point in staying here except to die."
As soon as the words came out, the expressions of the four navy men changed.
The photo that the New Era newspaper had published was also the photo of the battle between the gentleman in front of him and the Five Elder Stars Satan Saint.
At that location... a huge hole was burned out in the sea.
"understood."
Crane's voice sounded, and then the communicator hung up.
On the navy side, orders were issued one after another, and Borsalino transformed himself into light particles to transmit the orders.
Soon, one navy after another began to move towards the edge of the ruins.
……
One minute ago, the consciousness of the Five Elders was communicating.
"A shield that can defend against attacks from ancient weapons, and the defensive area is an entire island..."
"The only thing I can think of is that thing... an energy core derived from the technology of the ancient kingdom, which was reproduced by Vegapunk."
"It's the core energy source of that giant mechanical soldier, right... Vegapunk... Damn it!"
"It's not just the energy. The ability to apply a large proportion of the energy to the defensive light shield is the main reason for the failure of this operation!"
"Everyone, now is not the time to discuss why the operation failed! Or rather, we haven't failed yet!"
For a moment, there was silence in the consciousness communication.
Just two seconds later, Saint Satan's voice sounded: "From the previous attack, even if we activate the authority of a weapon again, it will still be blocked by the light shield."
A reasonable excuse only needs to be put forward for everyone to accept it.
This excuse was put forward by Saint Satan, who was not here. As the god of scientific defense, it was perfectly reasonable.
Just like what the ancient saint Green did before among the powers, they were unwilling to use their authority to activate a national treasure again!
In a long life, sometimes the longer you live, the more you fear the coming of death.
Saint Satan's voice sounded again: "This war was broadcast to the whole world by the Revolutionary Army, and after this, it can be foreseen that the Revolutionary Army will fight against us unscrupulously."
"Next, the remaining CP agencies and the Clone Corps will be the living force, and the navy will also need to be reorganized."
"Bugs have their own uses."
Saint Vochuli exhaled, "I understand."
The communication ended, and a strange scene appeared in Marinford.
On both sides of the confrontation, the ordinary combat forces of the Revolutionary Army and the Navy were retreating. On the World Government side, the agents and clones except the four Five Elders were also retreating.
At this time, Marinford had become a ruin. Even the once extremely solid defense wall had collapsed and shattered.
Kevin thanked Whitebeard and asked him to evacuate with his sons.
Newgate did not hesitate. As the first person to witness Kevin's Bankai power, he knew very well that at that temperature, anyone with weaker Haki would be burned to carbon slag.
The core temperature can even vaporize a person directly.
Without hesitation, Newgate evacuated with Marco, Joz, Vista and others.
On the navy side, Borsalino, Kuzan, Chief of Staff Crane, and Zephyr, a four-man organization, have all evacuated to the edge of the ruins of Marinford.
Then, Ginny and the blind swordsman arrived here on the somersault cloud.
Ginny handed over a healing dandelion, "Mr. Yixiao, thank you for your hard work."
He stood up with a smile and said, "I failed to shoot it down. I failed in my duty. I don't think it was hard work. Also, please don't call me sir."
The healing dandelion falls, and the gravity fruit ability is activated while physical strength is restored.
"Om..."
On the ruins of Marinford, pieces of stone floated up, carrying members of the Revolutionary Army, the Navy, and the Whitebeard Pirates.
In addition, many pacifists, carrying their rescue targets, were also carried away by the stones and left Marinford.
It was not until they left the area covered by the dark clouds that the pacifist who possessed the power of the Door-Door Fruit activated his ability and sent everyone away.
……
In the ruined city of Marinford, both sides were carrying out large-scale evacuations.
The top fighters of both sides were also confronting each other to prevent surprise attacks from the other side.
"It's a little different from what I expected."
Dorag whispered, "If they don't intend to stop it, it won't be of much use for Zhan Guo and the old man to stay."
Kevin nodded and said, "Same to you."
At this time, Zhan Guo also understood Kevin's plan. Obviously, after achieving the strategic goal of saving people, he also wanted to give the Five Elders a severe blow.
For example, the kind of power that can directly burn a hole in the sea surface.
"gentlemen."
Roger, wearing a mask, also came over, as well as Kaido, carrying a thorny iron rod.
Because of their physical strength after being reborn from the Impure World Reincarnation, neither of them is considered to be top-notch combat power, but their immortality makes them very suitable for this operation.
Karp glanced here, pursed his lips and snorted.
It can now be confirmed that Roger's resurrection was the work of this gentleman from the Revolutionary Army, and probably also the immortal Kaido.
He had seen the previous battle, and the destruction and reorganization of this old opponent was exactly the same as Kaido's.
"Chief, what are you still doing here?"
Kaido looked at Dragon without any hesitation, and then looked at Sengoku and Garp: "Are these two...staying here to hinder us?"
Garp glared and said, "Little brat on Rocks' ship, do you want to test the hardness of my fist?"
Kevin raised his hand to stop the two men.
"I originally thought that the Celestial Dragons wouldn't care about the lives of agents and clones, so I was worried that they would stop us from evacuating. But now..."
Dragon: "They are afraid. After this war, the rise of the Revolutionary Army is unstoppable, and the pace of world liberation is about to begin. That's why they care about the strength of the troops."
Roger smiled under the mask.
Yes, they were afraid.
For the first time, they began to pay attention to what they used to think of as ants.
"leader."
"Ok?"
"That's about it. Since they won't stop us, let's take everyone else away except Kaidou and the other two and evacuate."
"understood."
……
Marinford, in ruins.
Kevin and his two companions were facing off against the four Five Elders, and none of them had any intention of taking action against each other.
"The cloaked man stayed."
"He wants to use that state again, the power that caused soul damage to Saint Satan."
"You're really welcome..."
"The clones have the ability to fly, and they are almost evacuating with the CP agents. The weapons will leave in a moment. Saint Satan will activate the teleportation array, and we will go directly back to Marijoa."
"clear."
……
With only seven people left, Marinford was eerily quiet. Apart from the vibration caused by the sea water, no one spoke.
Only after everyone had evacuated did the dark clouds above their heads disappear.
Saint Vochuli looked at Kevin and said, "Your abilities are ready for use. You have won this war."
Kevin shook his head slightly: "It's not enough... Take away the ancient weapons, you want to leave too?"
Mazisheng: "One day, you will be nailed to the execution platform!"
……
