Sabo swung his steel pipe with relentless force.
"Dragon Claw!" he roared, his hands turning pitch black as he gripped a Rear Admiral, rendering him unconscious in an instant.
Ivankov's eyes gleamed with fury. A Death Wink unleashed from his gaze exploded like a bomb, scattering dozens of Marines across the battlefield.
And Revolutionary Army Dragon was even more terrifying. Each of his strides shook the earth, his aura pressing down like a storm as he advanced toward the World Government World Headquarters.
Anyone nearby was overwhelmed before even approaching him, collapsing unconscious from sheer terror.
Dark clouds gathered above as Dragon's presence warped the weather. Torrential rain hammered the grounds, while fierce winds whipped through the streets, scattering anyone who dared remain in the open.
Lightning cracked across the sky, illuminating Dragon's face and revealing a tattoo that ran across half his visage, lending him an even more ferocious appearance.
"Sabo, our main battlefield isn't here. Holy Land Mary Geoise is the priority," Dragon muttered, voice firm with authority.
Under his command, the Revolutionary Army surged forward, disciplined and relentless. A female commander waved her military flag, inspiring the troops further.
In less than five minutes, the World Headquarters was turned upside down. Without pause, the Revolutionary Army charged toward Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The Celestial Dragons within the Holy Land immediately sensed the threat.
"This is outrageous! How dare these inferior humans rebel?" one shrieked.
"Pathetic low-class humans, attacking us while our forces are diminished," another spat.
"But the Gorosei aren't here. Can we rely on the guards alone to protect us?"
Panic spread across the group, as fear clouded their usually imperious demeanor. Without the Gorosei, could their guards really fend off the Revolutionary Army? Were they to be enslaved by humans, the descendants of mere mortals?
"Why don't we just flee to fishman island? With enough wealth, survival shouldn't be difficult," one obese Celestial Dragon suggested, drool dripping down his chin.
"You fool. Fish-Man Island is under that bastard's control. Going there is suicide! That place is far worse than the Revolutionary Army," another snapped, silencing the ridiculous notion.
At that moment, a voice of ancient authority echoed through the halls.
"You fools! What are you panicking for? Holy Land Mary Geoise isn't so easily conquered," the voice intoned.
Even the most haughty Celestial Dragons fell to their knees in fear. The speaker was none other than Imu, their supreme ancestor.
The intelligence officer at World Headquarters froze, eyes wide. This was unlike anything he had witnessed. His instinct urged him to call the Gorosei, but he remembered—the headquarters was already overrun.
"It's over… is this truly the end? Could the Revolutionary Army overthrow the World Government?" he muttered under his breath, heart pounding.
Even during the Whitebeard Pirates' attacks, though Marineford was devastated, no one dared topple the World Government. Yet now, with pirates, Revolutionary Army forces, and other factions converging, it seemed inevitable.
The officer's hands trembled as he realized that loyalty to the World Government offered him nothing. With the Gorosei absent, survival demanded self-preservation.
He turned to flee. In his haste, he collided with a burly man and fell to the ground.
The figure standing over him appeared to be in his thirties, long hair flowing, a white sword strapped to his back, his face marked with scars. His attire was neither Marine nor Revolutionary Army—it was unfamiliar, a newcomer.
"Who… who are you? I've never seen you before…!" the officer stammered, scrambling to his feet. "Run! The Revolutionary Army has already taken World Headquarters, and their next target is Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
He darted away, leaving the mysterious warrior standing silently, observing the chaos.
