"Should I use it?"
Byrnndi World thought to himself.
That was his trump card, Dynamite Rock, comparable to an Ancient Weapon.
He had four pieces; three were hidden away, and one was currently on the ship.
But no matter what, this was a terrifying weapon of mutual destruction.
On his ship, perhaps only he would survive.
He was deep in thought, completely unaware of the two Cadres gradually approaching him from behind, or rather, he wasn't on guard at all.
"Finger Pistol!"
One Cadre suddenly attacked from behind World.
At such close range, World had no time to react.
World's back was directly pierced through.
Simultaneously, the Pirate holding a long saber slashed at World's back.
At the same time, without Haki defense, World's body took heavy damage.
"Huoyama, Brisso, what are you doing?"
The sudden change shocked everyone.
They hadn't expected two trusted comrades, Cadres of the Pirate Crew, to launch a sneak attack on their own Captain.
"Heh heh! I was never your comrade."
The Pirate named Huoyama revealed a strange smile.
And the Pirate named Brisso looked at World's tottering figure with a disdainful smile and spat on the ground.
"Tch! I don't want to die pointlessly with this idiot."
Then he looked at Huoyama, "The World Government should keep their word. You said you'd let me leave this place."
"Of course. You should trust the government's word," Huoyama said with a laugh, inwardly sneering.
This fool, how could the World Government possibly let go of someone who knows the truth?
After a few exchanges, the others understood the cause and effect: one was a World Government Spy, and the other was a Traitor who had been turned.
Sengoku and Black Dragon were continuously approaching.
Perhaps it was the drug on his hands or the saber, but World's body gradually became weak at this time.
The intense pain made him dizzy and lightheaded, and he could faintly hear the voices around him.
His swaying body suddenly stood firm, and with two large hands, he grabbed the heads of the two Traitors.
As if he hadn't been drugged, World's physical condition recovered to its peak.
"How is that possible? This is a Sleeping Drug that can even knock out Sea Kings, and you're completely fine?"
The World Government Spy said in disbelief.
And Brisso, the Traitor, was full of fear, his body trembling uncontrollably.
World didn't speak, killing the two with absolute strength.
"Captain!"
"Younger Brother, it's great that you're okay."
The sudden change brought surprise to the other Crewmates, especially World's Older Brother, Binjack.
Before they could rejoice, World's body seemed to lose control again.
That was just a brief moment of resurgence.
"Sebastian, take them and run first. Don't worry about me."
After saying that, World staggered into the ship, walking towards his Captain's Cabin.
"Vice-Captain, what should we do?"
Although Binjack's strength was weak, as the Strategist of the Byrnndi Pirates and World's Older Brother, he was arguably their only Backbone.
"Is World going to get that thing?"
Looking in the direction World left, Binjack, who understood World well, seemed to realize something, and his face suddenly changed.
"As he said, we run first. We'll find a chance to save World later. If we don't run now, we won't have a chance. World is going to use that thing."
Upon hearing this, the few Cadres were still a bit confused, but Sebastian had personally witnessed its power.
"Guyram, there's a diving device on the ship, right? We'll hide inside and let Sebastian take us away. If we don't go, we'll all die here."
Guyram was the Engineer and Combatant of the Byrnndi Pirates, possessing a certain level of research capability.
Hearing Binjack's instructions, he also knew the seriousness of the situation.
"Follow me, it's down below."
Only those few Cadres could escape.
As for the other Crewmates, they didn't care about them.
The few Cadres entered the sealed diving device and sank into The Sea.
Sebastian propelled the diving device, swimming in the opposite direction from Sengoku's arrival, and simultaneously going deeper below the Sea Surface.
Sebastian, who had personally experienced it, knew the terror of that thing's explosion.
As Sengoku approached, Byrnndi World's Figure appeared again.
Seeing the thing Byrnndi World held in his hand, Sengoku's face changed, and he immediately turned and fled.
To be precise, he hurried towards the warship.
"Run fast! Gather on the flagship!"
Sengoku roared.
On the flagship he commanded, besides him, there were three young monsters; they were all the future of the Marines.
Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan, who had not yet graduated and was recommended by Zephyr to come here for training.
If they were to sacrifice themselves, he would regret it for a lifetime.
Sengoku burst out with astonishing speed, hurrying back.
Golden light condensed on his body, ready to erupt at any moment.
Seeing the thing Byrnndi World held, the public watching the live streaming, various factions, many people didn't know what this thing was, while a few factions' faces suddenly changed drastically.
"Momo Fifty-Fold Speed!"
"Momo Ten-Fold Strength!"
World used Life Return, controlling his blood to flow rapidly, trying his best to restore some strength to his body.
And this was the limit of what he could do now.
The container storing the Dynamite Rock was crushed in an instant.
World grabbed the Dynamite Rock and threw it with all his might towards Sengoku's location.
Next, he could only defend with all his might.
Whether he could survive depended on fate.
Regardless, he wouldn't make it easy for the Marines.
An eerie purple light flashed on the Dynamite Rock, emitting terrifying, deadly energy.
"Great Buddha: Ultimate Impact!"
Sengoku, who had hurried back, his body rapidly expanded.
The terrifying Great Buddha Golden Body was fully displayed, a massive body dozens of meters tall, blocking in front of a Marine warship.
Facing the incoming Dynamite Rock.
Sengoku immediately went all out.
The Dynamite Rock carried terrifying impact force.
The two forces collided in the air.
The next moment, a terrifying explosion, scorching light instantly engulfed the entire area within a few kilometers.
Boom!
The live streaming footage was directly cut off under this terrifying scene.
That Reporter Bird and Visual Den Den Mushi were even turned into ash under the terrifying destructive power.
After a long time, the Marines on the warship finally recovered their senses.
Looking at the scene around them in shock, ship after ship of Marine warships, except for this one, all disappeared, completely destroyed.
Along with them, tens of thousands of Marine soldiers on the warships also perished together.
"What exactly was that thing?"
It was truly unbelievable.
If it weren't for the majestic Great Buddha in front of them, their fate could be imagined.
"Damn it! I actually forgot."
Sengoku was very regretful now.
The long period of war had made him forget the matter of Byrnndi World possibly having Dynamite Rock in his hands, instantly causing the Marines heavy losses.
Of course, there was something even more important.
"Go check the front! We must find Byrnndi World."
Before he finished speaking, a slightly battered black dragon flew from afar, clutching the severely wounded, already unconscious World in one claw.
