One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 397: The Evolution of the Five Elders!

The battlefield instantly erupted into chaos.

Rocks's phrase "a rat in the gutter" was a slap in the face to Im.

The clouds do not flow.

The wind is silent.

The eyes beneath Junzi's veil were devoid of emotion.

What kind of look is that of someone looking at an ant roaring at the sky?

"Noisy."

Two words.

The androgynous voices reached the ears of everyone present.

Im didn't waste any words.

The hand beneath the sleeve rose.

Press your index finger down.

A pure black attack pierced through the heavens and earth.

The black light shot towards Rocks.

too fast.

It's so fast that even Observation Haki can't keep up.

"Is this all the power this guy has?"

Kizaru's sunglasses slid down.

My back was soaked with cold sweat.

If he were to take this attack, he wouldn't even have time to transform into his elemental form.

It means death.

Rocks didn't dodge.

He disdained to hide.

This man, who aspired to be the king of the world, faced divine punishment, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.

"Ha ha ha ha! Well done!"

Rocks stomped his feet, and the earth cracked.

Asphalt-like darkness emanated from him.

The strongest form of one's own power.

A domineering aura collided with the destructive black light.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest.

The darkness behind him surged, transforming into a black wall that devoured everything in front of him.

"The Surge of the Dark Abyss"

There was no loud noise.

There was only one buzzing sound.

The buzzing sound of a stopped heart.

The collision of two powerful dark energies.

Im's destruction will wipe out Lox.

Rocks' power is meant to forcefully resist or even destroy Im's attack.

An energy storm exploded.

The ground within a radius of several kilometers was lifted up.

The ruined buildings turned to dust in the black waves.

Roger swung his sword, unleashing a powerful strike to protect Ace behind him.

Whitebeard slammed Murakumo to the ground, shattering the aftershocks of the attack.

Everyone was staring at the center of that chaos.

The smoke and black smoke dissipated.

An arrogant figure was still standing there.

Rocks patted the charred marks on his chest.

The clothes were burned away.

But there wasn't even a bloodstain on his steel-like muscles.

My hair is messy.

I looked a bit disheveled.

But compared to any other attack, this is called being completely unharmed.

The entire room fell silent.

Someone blocked the attack from the guy in front of them.

Lox grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and his eyes showed even more mockery.

"Is that all the strength you've got?"

He looked up at Im in the sky.

"Compared to back in God Valley, this is far inferior. Is it because the power can't reach through this Stand? Or is it...?"

Lockes extended his little finger and waved it dismissively.

"You've been sitting on that throne for eight hundred years, have your bones gone limp?"

Im's expression changed.

A chilling killing intent.

The murderous intent stemming from being offended by ants.

"Since you're in such a hurry to die..."

Im's voice was flat.

He withdrew his finger and turned his gaze to the five howling monsters on the ground.

So.

I'll grant your wish!

The voice just fell.

The purple magic circle beneath the Five Elders' feet shone brightly.

The eerie runes came to life, transforming into black chains that pierced the flesh of the Five Elders.

"roar!"

Five inhuman roars shook the entire Future Island.

Enveloped in black power, the Five Elders completed their final transformation.

This is no longer the awakening of the fruit.

It is an older, purer form of monster.

Satan's spider body elongated and became sharp. Each leg was covered in barbs, oozing purplish-black venom. His human face was gone, replaced by six scarlet compound eyes.

The wild boar of Sacred Vochuli had grown even larger. Black flames burned on its back bristles. Its two tusks were longer and more curved, like the scythe of death, and reeked of blood.

Mazsan's monstrous bird spread its wings, blotting out the sky. Its feathers transformed into black, metallic plumes, gleaming with a cold light. Its sharp beak could pierce through space itself.

Nasujuro Sei's skeletal horse turned completely black. Its stark white skeleton transformed into an inky black. Its four hooves trod upon the chilling aura of the underworld. The first generation Kitetsu and his arm merged together, the blade growing tens of meters longer.

Peter Saint's sandworm had grown even thicker. Thick scales had sprouted from its skin. Its abyss-like mouth contained three spirals of sharp teeth. Its mere breath stirred up sandstorms.

Five terrifying auras soared into the sky.

They gathered in the sky into dark clouds, swallowing the sunlight.

next second.

The five monsters did something that sent chills down everyone's spines.

They ignored Roger, Whitebeard, and Dragon.

Their movements were synchronized and uniform.

Turn around.

Facing the sky, Im.

boom!

Five pairs of massive knees slammed into the ground.

The earth cracked open.

Five monsters of the highest power in the world bowed their heads to their master like the most lowly dogs.

"Thank you for granting me this power, sir!"

The voice was filled with fervor and absolute obedience.

This scene was more breathtaking than any battle.

The pyramid of power.

The Five Elders, who were once so arrogant, are nothing but dust in front of Im.

The soldier, possessed by Im, glanced at the battlefield but didn't look directly at the kneeling Five Elders.

The voice was still as cold as ice.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Go and take care of it."

The commands are simple.

Its authority is beyond question.

The Five Elders trembled.

"Yes, sir!"

The sound was like thunder.

The five elders stood up.

A suffocating pressure enveloped the entire room.

They turned their heads.

He looked at the group of pirates.

Humility and respect are gone.

It is now tyranny, cruelty, and murderous intent solidified into reality.

Satan Saint's six red eyes locked onto Luffy, and the sound of his mouthparts rubbing together was enough to make your teeth ache.

"Nika... this time, I'm going to chew your bones to pieces."

Sacred Vochuli exhaled hot air, his fangs aimed at Whitebeard.

"Edward Newgate, will your vibrations shatter my defenses this time?"

Nasujiro raised his black sword, the tip pointing at Shanks.

"Red-haired brat, I didn't cut off your other hand last time, so I'll make up for it this time."

The real battle has only just begun.
