Chapter 483 - 483
High above Totto Land waters, ten thousand meters in the air, floated a massive sky island.
The distance from here to G1 Base island was over a thousand miles.
Yet when Imu clashed with Caesar and Joy Boy, the powerful shockwaves from their battle swept across the entire New World.
Even this sky island floating ten thousand meters high could feel the tremendous energy fluctuations coming from that direction.
Judge, Indigo, and other scientists stood solemnly at the edge of the sky island.
Holding various instruments, they braced against the fierce winds blowing up from the sea below, measuring and calculating data.
"Based on calculations combining the distance from here to Marineford and energy attenuation patterns, the intensity of these energy fluctuations has reached thirteen hundred times that of an ordinary hundred-meter tsunami impact. It's even slightly affecting this planet's rotation."
Indigo frowned deeply, his face full of concern as he gazed into the distance.
"This is no longer power that humans can wield. If anyone truly possesses strength of this magnitude, they would be a god of this world..."
"No one could possibly resist such power!"
On the open ground before a distant wooden cabin, Shirahoshi, Hiyori, Hancock, and others sat silently, each lost in their own thoughts.
Suddenly!
Shirahoshi's mind went blank, her entire body going limp as she fell backward with a thud, collapsing to the ground!
"Shirahoshi!"
This sudden turn of events stunned Hancock and Hiyori, their faces pale with fright as they rushed toward the fallen Shirahoshi.
"What happened?"
Queen, Judge, and others in the distance noticed the commotion and rushed over at top speed.
Hiyori's voice trembled with panic as she looked helplessly at Shirahoshi lying on the ground with vacant eyes.
"Shirahoshi! What's wrong with you?"
"Princess Shirahoshi!"
"Queen! Mr. Judge! Please check on Shirahoshi quickly!"
Hancock urgently called out.
Queen's hands trembled as he used instruments from his person to examine Shirahoshi's physical condition.
Both he and Indigo were not only scientists but also highly skilled doctors.
After a flurry of frantic examinations by the two, they found no physical issues with Shirahoshi.
After a while, Shirahoshi finally awoke under the tense gazes of everyone.
But no matter how Queen and Indigo questioned her, she refused to speak about her condition.
Shirahoshi just sat there blankly, unmoving.
Unbeknownst to anyone, there existed a spiritual connection between Shirahoshi and Caesar.
Even though they were thousands of miles apart this time, deep within Shirahoshi's soul, she could still sense that unbreakable thread of familiarity between their spirits.
But just moments ago, that thread had suddenly snapped...
Shirahoshi's aqua-blue eyes were vacant, and two silent streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
...
At the foot of the Red Line where the Holy Land Mary Geoise stood, the brutal slaughter continued.
Even with the addition of Teach's overwhelming combat power, the Revolutionary Army still held no advantage in high-level combatants.
Amid the fierce and bloody battle, the kind-hearted giant Morley quietly dug a large hole and sent Koala, Betty, and others with weaker combat abilities deep underground to hide.
This battle was far more brutal than even Dragon had anticipated.
Sabo, whose personality had been slightly altered by Caesar, also failed to become the beacon guiding the Revolutionary Army to victory.
In his fight against the great swordsman Ryuma, he was tragically surrounded and killed by over a dozen Angel Kings.
"Ahhhhh! Annihilation Dragon Claw!"
Dragon's eyes split at the corners, with bloody tears continuously streaming down.
His right hand transformed into countless raging winds, forming a dragon claw hundreds of meters in size, finally seizing Shimotsuki Ryuma's body.
The immense destructive energy within him erupted, directly crushing Ryuma into nothingness.
Before him still stood over a dozen Angel Kings bearing the appearances of Caesar, Rocks, and Roger.
Behind him lay mountains of corpses - fallen soldiers of the Revolutionary Army.
Suddenly, as if sensing something.
The top-tier combatants from both sides locked in battle simultaneously looked up at the sky.
There they saw,
A woman of peerless beauty and majesty, shrouded in chaotic light, stepped through the void.
Each step covered hundreds of meters, as if walking on an invisible heavenly staircase, heading toward the Holy Land.
Both Dragon and Teach's eyes flashed with sharp light simultaneously.
"Imu!"
Meanwhile, dozens of combatants from the World Government side uniformly knelt down, not daring to look up at the newcomer.
Imu cast a casual glance at Dragon, Teach, and the others, showing no intention of paying them any attention, before her figure vanished completely from Dragon's sight.
The previously chaotic and bloody battlefield fell into brief silence due to Imu's arrival.
Not long after Imu left, just as Dragon gritted his teeth and prepared to continue fighting.
From the endless heights above, an eye opened, shooting out countless light points that densely filled the sky.
Immediately after, Dragon felt the ground beneath his feet trembling and groaning.
The ten-thousand-meter high Red Line began crumbling, with large chunks of earth falling away.
Following the previous colossal magma pillar that had shot up into the heavens, the true catastrophe had arrived.
"Her goal is accomplished... Imu, Imu she... she's going to destroy the world!"
Dragon's mind buzzed, the world spun before his eyes, and he felt his entire body turn cold.
His face contorted, and he let out a furious roar as his entire being transformed into a sky-reaching tornado, crashing into the encirclement of Angel Kings.
The terrifying collision continued!
"Stop her! We must stop her!"
In the distance, Teach sighed inwardly.
He had been invited by Vegapunk to ascend the celestial ladder and leave this planet.
But Imu clearly wouldn't tolerate insects like them leaving alongside her.
Thus, there were only two ways for them to depart.
Stow away, or kill Imu and wait for the incoming spacecraft.
As for how to stow away, or how to gain the trust of the Celestial Beings who would come here after killing Imu, Teach didn't know.
Vegapunk said he had a way.
"Anyway, let's kill all these small fries first!"
A mad grin spread across Teach's lips.
...
The Marine Headquarters G1 island had completely vanished, replaced by boiling seawater and continuously emerging crimson magma from the ocean depths.
When Kaido and the others arrived dazedly at the site where Caesar and Imu had been fighting, they found nothing on the sea surface.
Like a madman, Kaido plunged headfirst into the boiling sea, disregarding the seawater's adverse effects on Devil Fruit users.
"Caesar, Caesar! Where the hell are you?"
Shiki and the others hovered in mid-air, watching the boiling sea below.
Countless fish had been cooked by the scalding seawater, floating densely on the surface.
Among them were numerous massive sea kings.
Shiki's voice was hoarse as he looked toward Fujitora.
"Fujitora, please use your Observation Haki to search for Caesar's whereabouts."
Before Fujitora could speak, Momousagi, who had been standing dazedly behind him, suddenly erupted with hatred in her eyes.
"Why should we! I hope he's dead! That demon has destroyed the justice of this era! He'll definitely go to hell after death!"
Momousagi gritted her teeth so hard that traces of blood seeped from her gums.
Doflamingo, Akin, and others behind Shiki cast unfriendly glances her way.
But Momousagi wasn't afraid at all.
Having lost everything, she no longer cared about her own life.
Gin and Doflamingo were fanatical worshippers of Caesar and couldn't tolerate anyone insulting him.
They immediately wanted to strike Momousagi down.
But Shiki reached out to stop them.
Shiki said seriously, "Fujitora, you've seen it too. That woman wants to destroy the world—no, the New World is already destroyed."
"Do you think we alone can stop her?"
Fujitora remained silent.
"But Caesar definitely can!!"
