Chapter 487: Möbius Makes His Move
"Burururu!"
Hearing the voice of his father, Hades, through the Den Den Mushi, Möbius was slightly surprised.
"What is it, father?" Möbius asked seriously.
It seemed there was something he needed to handle.
Hades briefly explained the matter, including the transaction with the Marines.
Möbius's eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly deep in thought, though it was unclear what he was thinking about.
"Alright." Möbius didn't say much, nor did he refuse.
He hung up the Den Den Mushi.
"Wait here for a moment.
I have something to take care of, but I'll be back soon." Saying this, Möbius checked the sea chart, confirmed the location, and left the Thousand-Hand Bodhi.
Inside Möbius's body, intertwined tendons were incredibly developed, like a monster's, even occupying a large portion of his body.
The terrifying explosive power they brought began to manifest at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, Möbius vanished from his original spot.
Möbius's speed seemed to break through the sound barrier.
Thick tendons burst forth from within him.
Using these thick tendons as footholds, Möbius moved rapidly as if flying through the sky, stepping on the tendons he extended.
With every step, relying on his extraordinary explosive power, Möbius could exhibit terrifying strength.
His slender body streaked through the air.
A distance of over a thousand meters was crossed by Möbius in a single breath.
Approximately three to four hundred meters per second – this was Möbius's normal speed.
When truly unleashing his full power, Möbius could completely surpass the speed of sound.
This was extreme speed, which few could match.
Even Byrnndi World, with the hundredfold speed increase from his Moa Moa Fruit, found it difficult to reach a hundred times his base speed during the amplification process.
Excessively high speed requires a powerful physique to support it.
Without a sufficiently strong body, the body would instead collapse under excessively high speed, because it couldn't bear the stress.
A distance of several dozen kilometers was not far for Möbius; it was just a matter of a few minutes.
His Observation Haki was constantly released, confirming the direction was correct.
Möbius's gaze continuously swept across the Sea Surface in the distance, pinpointing the location of that Island.
Finally, Möbius saw an Island on the Sea Surface in the distance.
He couldn't help but increase his speed, rapidly approaching.
The great battle on the Island was extremely fierce.
The Marines were already completely at a disadvantage.
Even with good coordination among themselves, the stress from facing the ferocious and more numerous Pirates was growing increasingly heavy.
Young Navy Cadets continuously fell, dying beneath the Pirates' long sabers.
The overall atmosphere became increasingly bleak.
It felt as though hope was lost, and they could only grit their teeth and hold on.
By now, roughly a quarter had already been sacrificed, and it was unknown how much longer they could hold out.
Suddenly, thousands of black tentacles, like pythons, descended from the Sky.
The Sky seemed to be covered by a shadow.
It was so sudden that people had no time to react at all.
Most people, including the Marines, were still in the midst of battle when one or two tentacles wrapped around their limbs.
Immediately after, they continuously grew and extended, spreading across their entire bodies.
Their entire bodies were bound and wrapped by the tentacles.
Each tentacle possessed astonishing strength.
Once the body was wrapped, it was very difficult to resist.
A strange scene unfolded.
Marine after Marine and Pirate after Pirate were lifted into the air by the tentacles, completely unable to resist.
Especially their hands holding weapons were restrained immediately.
The weapons in their hands were directly disarmed and dropped to the ground.
"What's going on?" The Navy Cadets were startled by the sudden upheaval.
Meanwhile, the Pirates seemed to realize something, and their expressions were filled with fear.
"Damn it! How did that guy get here!"
"It's the Underworld Serpent.
He's targeted this Island of ours."
Möbius's name was very famous, especially in the East Blue region where he was currently active.
It could be said that very few people didn't know him.
In the blink of an eye, almost everyone on the entire Battlefield was restrained.
The previously fierce battle came to a halt.
Three Commodores were also jointly grabbed by two tentacles each.
Only "Taurus" Shamen and the Rear Admiral remained.
Their strength was the greatest.
Facing one or two tentacles was manageable, but facing more tentacles was difficult.
As long as they were caught by one tentacle, it was very difficult to break free.
Moreover, dozens of tentacles attacked like long sabers, binding their bodies from various angles.
This time, Möbius specifically used Armament Haki.
Coupled with the powerful toughness of the black tendons, "Taurus" Shamen entered his Human-Beast Form, wanting to break free from the restraint using his great strength.
But no matter how he struggled, it was useless, even in Complete Beastification.
How much time had passed from start to finish? Not even half a minute.
Crisp footsteps sounded, and everyone's gaze fell upon the appearing Möbius.
The two black tendons behind him rose into the Sky, splitting into thousands of tentacles that hung down like willow branches.
Most of the tentacles were suspending a human figure.
