"Damn brat!"
But Saint Saturn didn't care at all about his terrifying injuries, his eyes filled with rage.
The next moment, all the blood flowing out of his body instantly flowed back into him, and the destroyed muscles, bones, and skin on his body were rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This isn't entirely his own self-healing ability, there's also a special power!"
Nox's Kenbunshoku Haki had been locked onto Saint Saturn the entire time, so Saint Saturn's recovery naturally couldn't escape Nox's notice.
"What kind of power is this? Is it the immortal surgery effect of the Ope-Ope no Mi, or some other special Devil Fruit ability?"
Upon seeing Saint Saturn's terrifying recovery ability, Nox began to ponder.
Since such terrifying injuries could recover in such a short time, then to kill the Gorosei, he would need to kill him in one move, giving him no chance to recover.
Or, find a way to break his recovery ability.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill the Gorosei.
"Even if I use my full power and expose my Devil Fruit's power, I probably can't kill him in one hit!"
Nox began to weigh his options. His Devil Fruit hadn't Awakened yet, and even if he used both amplification methods, he probably couldn't kill Saint Saturn in one move.
At the same time, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, beneath the destroyed Flower Room, there was still an extremely sturdy underground room that even Explosive Rock amplified a hundred times couldn't destroy.
Here, there was a giant stone straw hat. In front of the straw hat, a figure wearing a cloak was seated, only a pair of eyes resembling "Sharingan" vaguely visible.
He was the current master of the World Government, the World King Imu!
However, at this moment, he was like a peace lover who was close to nature and fond of tranquility, even a naive butterfly rested on his finger.
However, this tranquil atmosphere was broken by an intangible voice from afar.
Even across thousands of miles, Imu could receive the information transmitted to him by the Gorosei!
"What a bunch of useless trash, so many people couldn't even catch a sneak attacker!"
As he spoke, Imu thought of the sudden earth-shattering explosion that had occurred earlier. This was the first time in so many years that he had been startled awake from his slumber.
He didn't know how many centuries had passed since he last experienced such a shock.
At this moment, his unparalleled, domineering, and self-important aura surged forth instantly, terrifying the butterfly resting on his finger, which didn't even dare to flap its wings.
"Since the strongest Pirate Crew in this World are all there, then let them all be destroyed!"
As Imu's will moved, the butterfly in his hand instantly turned into dust and vanished from this World.
Lazik Island:
Nox was just about to rush over to continue testing Saint Saturn's recovery ability, to see if he could truly recover from any injury instantly.
"Brat, go to hell!"
But at this moment, Saint Saturn suddenly received a command from the depths of his soul, and then he became extremely enraged. Without waiting for himself to fully recover, he impatiently rushed out of the deep pit.
"Ushi-Oni Fierce Eye!"
A fierce, evil eye emitting a scarlet light suddenly appeared in front of Nox. As the fierce eye opened, a special soul power swept over like a storm.
"Hmph, does an ant still want to shake the heavens!"
Nox snorted coldly, and his Haoshoku Haki surged out. The soul power of the fierce eye didn't even have the right to get close to Nox before it was nullified by the incredibly powerful Haoshoku Haki.
Even that fierce eye, wrapped in countless blood-colored lightning, was forcibly torn apart and dissipated between heaven and earth.
"Poison!!"
While releasing the fierce eye, Saint Saturn also continuously spat out mouthfuls of poison towards Nox.
However, the speed of spraying this poison was too slow, and Nox easily dodged the poison attacks. The poison couldn't touch Nox in the slightest.
As Saint Saturn rushed over, Nox also rushed forward with the Seven Star Sword in hand. When he got close to Saint Saturn, Saint Saturn's two spider legs stabbed out like sharp spearheads, but Nox easily dodged them.
The Seven Star Sword fiercely slashed towards Saint Saturn's head, but at this moment, two spider legs covered in black Busoshoku Haki blocked the way.
"Crack!!!"
Saint Saturn's Busoshoku Haki wasn't strong, and even though his spider legs were tough, they couldn't block the sharpness of the Seven Star Sword. With one strike, Nox cut off Saint Saturn's two spider legs.
Saint Saturn didn't care about his injuries and took the opportunity to retreat, dodging the Seven Star Sword's slash to his head.
Taking advantage of the fact that Saint Saturn's two spider legs hadn't recovered yet, Nox closed in, but Saint Saturn didn't just have two spider legs; the remaining four spider legs stabbed towards Nox.
As Nox dodged sideways, he swung his sword again, cutting off three more spider legs. However, in just this short moment, the two spider legs that Saint Saturn had initially had cut off had already recovered.
After a brief test, Nox had confirmed that the opponent's recovery ability was truly monstrous and incredibly fast.
"I don't believe you can recover infinitely, that even having your blood drained can't weaken you!"
However, he immediately thought that while the opponent had the ability to recover, he also had the ability to suppress that recovery.
Nox's speed suddenly increased dramatically, and he instantly dodged all of Saint Saturn's spider leg attacks, arriving at Saint Saturn's side and back.
"Rip!!!"
With one sword strike, he tore through the muscles on Saint Saturn's back, leaving a huge wound that went deep into the bone marrow.
More importantly, all the blood near the wound was swallowed by the Seven Star Sword.
Previously, when Saint Saturn's spider legs were broken, no blood flowed out, or rather, there was too little blood in the spider legs, so even when the legs were broken, not much blood flowed out.
"Impossible, even a cursed sword shouldn't be able to forcibly swallow so much of my blood, there must be something wrong!"
Saint Saturn hadn't cared about the injury initially, but when he recovered the wound on his back and found his lost blood, his face instantly became extremely ugly.
His powerful recovery ability could heal injuries, but it couldn't restore lost blood. To restore blood, he could only rely on his own bone marrow to produce it.
Once he lost too much blood, even if all his wounds fully recovered, he would fall into weakness, and might even die from excessive blood loss in the end!
"Hahahahaha, Gorosei, it seems your immortality is not truly immortal after all!"
Seeing the expression on Saint Saturn's face, Nox knew his idea was correct.
He immediately rushed forward again with the Seven Star Sword at extreme speed. As long as he absorbed enough blood, he could kill this old guy!
Facing Nox at this moment, Saint Saturn showed no fear. Even knowing that Nox's Seven Star Sword could swallow his blood, he fought to the death without retreating, as if he wasn't afraid that Nox could kill him.
High above the sky, above the clouds, even Koya, who had been in the sky the entire time, didn't notice the changes happening ten thousand meters above.
In the unseen high altitude, violent energy began to gather continuously. That terrifying energy was far more terrifying than the Explosive Rock that World had amplified a hundred times.
As the energy gathering was about to reach its peak, the overflowing energy began to affect the sky above Lazik Island, causing the clouds over the entire island to darken.
In the blink of an eye, the original white clouds turned into black thunderclouds. As the rolling thunderclouds raged, countless bolts of lightning filled the entire sky.
Heaven and earth dimmed at this moment, and a terrifying energy pressure enveloped the entire Lazik Island.
Koya, who was in the air, immediately noticed the abnormality in the sky. The terrifying energy fluctuations coming from the sky made her heart palpitate.
The energy fluctuation in the sky had a devouring force like a black hole. If she hadn't been some distance away from the sky above Lazik Island, she might have been forcibly swallowed up by now.
"What is this?"
Koya subconsciously moved away from the terrifying energy mass hidden in the thunderclouds above Lazik Island. This was definitely the most terrifying thing she had ever seen, even more terrifying than the Captain's full-power strike!
Three seconds after the abnormality in the sky appeared, Nox, who was fully engaged in battle, finally noticed the strange and incredibly powerful energy in the sky.
Nox looked up at the sky in astonishment. His Kenbunshoku Haki wanted to penetrate the clouds to investigate this energy, but his Kenbunshoku Haki was blocked by that energy and couldn't penetrate it at all.
"Is this the Uranus?"
This terrifying energy made him immediately think of the Uranus controlled by the World Government. Perhaps only the power of the Uranus could be so terrifying, and could make him feel an incredibly terrifying sense of fatal danger before it was even fired.
He hadn't expected that even Rocks hadn't been subjected to the World Government's Uranus bombardment.
This time, the World Government was actually using the Uranus to bombard them!
Was that guy Imu really concussed and crazy after being blown up by World?
A strategic weapon of mass destruction like the Uranus was actually being used to kill trash like World, or rather, that guy Imu wanted to destroy the Flying Pirates and Limitless Pirates along with World!
Nox suddenly felt that by coming to support World and preventing the World Government from catching World this time, he might have truly angered that guy Imu to the point of desperation, to actually use the Uranus!
"Poison Dominates the World!!"
Just as Nox's attention was diverted, Saint Saturn opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of poison that formed a giant net, trying to envelop Nox in the poison net.
"This guy wants to trap me here. Does he want to die with me? Or does he have a way to escape from the Uranus's bombardment?"
Looking at Saint Saturn, who still dared to rush over and fight him, Nox suddenly understood. This guy had been trying to stall him the entire time, waiting for the Uranus to bombard him to death!
Nox didn't know how powerful the Uranus was, but he definitely didn't want to use his body to verify just how powerful it was!
