"Bang!!!"
When everyone recovered and looked at Pluto in the distance again, the previously violent energy had reached its peak, all spewing out from Pluto's main cannon.
The recoil from firing was immense, easily capable of pushing Pluto back.
But at this moment, a huge energy jet device appeared at Pluto's tail, counteracting the immense recoil to prevent the Pluto cannon from shifting.
A colossal energy light cannon shot out from Pluto's muzzle, and as it fired, the huge energy cannon continuously expanded its energy diameter.
Wherever the energy cannon passed, the sea evaporated, the air was isolated, and space was torn, truly annihilating all existence!
In the blink of an eye, the energy cannon reached the huge island dozens of kilometers away, and at this moment, the energy cannon's diameter had reached two thousand meters!
The moment the energy cannon touched the island, the soil and rocks that made up the island were instantly annihilated by the energy cannon.
Until the energy cannon, like a hot knife through butter, blasted into the center of the island, and the moment all the energy converged there, it exploded with a roar!
The instant of that terrifying energy explosion swept across the entire island.
Esdeath and the others only saw a white light expanding from the center of the island at an extreme speed, then enveloping the entire island.
At the same time, endless energy aftershocks spread dozens of miles around the island, stirring up towering waves hundreds of meters high that swept in all directions.
Even though they were far away, they could feel the incredibly terrifying energy pressure.
Even the Blood Shadow Clone at the center of the island felt it most deeply; the moment of Pluto's energy explosion, his Blood Shadow Clone was annihilated by Pluto instantly.
When the white light dissipated, the original island had completely vanished, not even a speck of soil remaining.
In its place, only an empty, massive area was left, where the magnetic field was chaotic, and the disordered magnetic field generated vast lightning, transforming this area into a gigantic lightning abyss.
And countless surrounding seawater was continuously pouring into this abyss, but this abyss was like a true bottomless abyss; no matter how much seawater poured in, it still couldn't fill it.
As spectators, Akame and the others stared at this scene, unable to recover for a long time; this scene was simply too shocking for them, completely redefining their worldview.
Even a minute after the Pluto bombardment ended, everyone's dumbfounded expressions showed no sign of easing.
"The power of this Pluto feels no less than the bombardment of the Heavenly King back then!"
Finally, Bullet was the first to break the silent atmosphere.
He had personally experienced the scene of the Heavenly King's bombardment back then, so he had a lot to say.
Compared to the Heavenly King's bombardment, the current Pluto bombardment's power was arguably evenly matched, with neither being superior.
To know who was better, they would have to fight to reach a conclusion.
"This power is too terrifying. If we just fired a shot at Marineford and then another at Mary Geoise, I feel like we could directly eliminate the World Government and the Marine, and then victory would be ours!"
Esdeath's eyes lit up immediately.
"Mm-hm, sister, your idea is great, I support you in doing that too!"
Akame nodded.
"What are you two little rascals thinking? Pluto is our secret weapon, how can we use it right from the start!"
"The World Government also possesses an Ancient Weapon. We can't use our Ancient Weapon at the very beginning, otherwise, even if we win this war, it won't achieve the effect I want!"
Nox said, Patted Akame's head in annoyance.
If Pluto were used at the beginning, the alliance between the Flying Pirates and other Pirate Crew with the Limitless Pirates might collapse.
After all, those pirates wouldn't allow the Limitless Pirates to possess Pluto; they would definitely try to snatch it.
Therefore, Nox had already planned the deployment of Pluto; it would only be used at the most critical moment, maximizing its power. Most importantly, Nox had not witnessed Imu's power and was unsure if he could kill him. If he couldn't, then Pluto would be his trump card!
"Dad, it was sister's suggestion, why aren't you hitting sister but hitting me!"
Akame pouted, covering her slightly aching head.
"Shi-shi-shi-shi, Captain, how is it? How's Pluto's power?!"
At this moment, Caesar's classic laughter came along with Pluto.
"Caesar, can the main cannon on the Hades reach the level of Pluto?"
Nox asked seriously.
The main cannon on the Hades was built by Caesar based on Pluto's main cannon. If the Hades could also possess such power, it would mean Nox could have two Ancient Weapons.
"Uh, Captain, that's impossible. A replica is a replica, it can't be exactly like the real thing!"
"But Captain, rest assured, I will do my best to increase the power of the Hades's main cannon. Even if it can't match Pluto, it won't be too far off!"
Caesar patted his chest, vowing confidently.
"That's good. You won't be taking any more holidays recently. Work with Soros to upgrade the Hades's weapon system and complete the modification of the Hades as quickly as possible!"
Nox nodded.
Ancient Weapons are not easy to manufacture; he had known this for a long time, otherwise, there wouldn't only be the Heavenly King and Pluto as machine-type Ancient Weapons in this world.
Now, what he needed was to replicate Pluto's weapon system to the greatest extent possible, maximizing the weapon's power.
"Dad, when are we going to war with the World Government?"
Esdeath asked expectantly.
As a warmonger, this world war was something she had long anticipated.
As long as they defeated the World Government, their Limitless Pirates could replace the World Government and become the true masters of this world!
"The time for war is not far off, it will be within these two months, depending on Caesar and Soros's progress!"
Nox said.
Only when Caesar and Soros have completed the weapon upgrades and fully unleashed the power of the mother flame will he initiate the true world war; only then will the success rate be the highest.
After all, he had waited for decades, so a few more months wouldn't make a difference.
"Alright then, during this time, I will select the participants and try to further enhance their strength!"
Esdeath nodded.
She already understood that this war would not involve a large-scale deployment of combat power; instead, it would selectively dispatch most of the combat power.
It would primarily focus on mid-to-high-level combatants; those who couldn't even reach the level of a Marineford Vice Admiral would not be qualified to participate.
In a war of that caliber, a Marineford Vice Admiral might only be considered a low-tier combatant, and sending them out would only be cannon fodder.
"Alright, everyone has clearly seen the power of Pluto. If you ever realize you are within the range of the Heavenly King's bombardment, do not hesitate at all. Your priority is to escape the range of the Heavenly King's bombardment as quickly as possible. You must not have any Luck mentality, understand?"
Nox said seriously to everyone present.
"Understood!"
No one present was a fool; after witnessing the power of the Pluto cannon, how could they dare to underestimate it?
With such power, if hit, death is certain!
