On the first half of the Grand Line on the other side of the Red Line, the Hades stood like Pluto on the great Sea.
"This Haoshoku Haki is truly powerful. That must be the Haoshoku Haki that Husband said Imu possesses. However, with Husband's strength and our assistance from the outside, defeating Imu should not be a problem!"
"Ultimately, Imu is just one person. As long as he is a person, Husband's sword can kill him!"
Lesley gazed at the Red Line, silently praying for Nox.
As Nox's women, they did not participate in that great battle, but they silently contributed to him from behind.
Especially regarding the Ancient Weapon, which concerns the final victory of the war, Nox naturally felt most at ease entrusting it to his women.
"Madam, please rest assured. The Captain has never been defeated in his life. Everyone who stood in the Captain's path has died under the Captain's sword. Even the so-called World King will be no exception. We just need to follow the plan the Captain has set!"
Yumaz stood beside Lesley and said confidently.
He had joined the Limitless Pirates a very long time ago and stayed by Nox's side, witnessing Nox and the Limitless Pirates' growth. Therefore, he had unwavering faith in Nox's strength.
And this time, he was assisting Lesley in controlling the launch of the Hades, ensuring the final victory for the Limitless Pirates!
"That's right, Husband has never been defeated in his life. This is the simplest yet most unpretentious miracle. This time, Husband will naturally not be defeated. We just need to carry out the plan Husband made before, and the victory of this war will naturally belong to us."
Lesley said with a smile.
At an altitude of 200,000 meters above the Red Line:
Nox had not only deployed Pluto and the Hades on the great Sea but also placed a satellite in the sky. Furthermore, this satellite, like the Hades, was equipped with Pluto's weapon and energy system.
It could be said that this satellite was a miniature Ancient Weapon Uranus, possessing the ability to launch a bombardment from the sky at any time, just like the Ancient Weapon Uranus.
Similarly, this satellite was overseen and managed by Nox's woman, Athena, with the assistance of the Limitless Pirates' chief scientist, Soros.
"Dr. Soros, are our satellite's signal and positioning system stable now?"
Athena confirmed again.
"The signals are very stable, and there are no issues with the positioning system. Even the impact of Haoshoku cannot completely interfere with our signals!"
Soros said.
"Alright, let's conduct another signal simulation launch!"
Athena said.
Upon hearing this, Soros immediately activated the signal transmitter. Instantly, hundreds of signals were launched from the satellite device, shooting towards various areas of the Red Line.
Immediately, after the signal towers on the Red Line received the signals, they promptly returned the corresponding signals back to the satellite.
"Signal simulation launch successful!"
Soros checked the returned signals to ensure they were correct before replying to Athena.
"Dr. Soros, are we still unable to find any trace of the Ancient Weapon Uranus controlled by the World Government?"
After hearing Soros's words, Athena continued to ask.
According to their previous speculation, after the great battle erupted, the World Government might mobilize the Ancient Weapon Uranus to be ready to fire at any time.
Therefore, the Ancient Weapon Uranus was most likely near the airspace above the Red Line at this time, which would allow the Ancient Weapon Uranus's power to be maximized.
Thus, the Limitless Pirates installed countless radar detectors in this vast area, as well as many flying members of the Limitless Pirates, all in an attempt to find the Ancient Weapon Uranus's whereabouts.
But up to now, the great battle below had been raging for a long time, and the World Government had completely fallen into a disadvantage, yet they still hadn't found any trace of the Ancient Weapon Uranus.
"We haven't found it. According to the information obtained before, the Ancient Weapon Uranus should have an automatic stealth function, and our radar detectors may not be able to detect the Ancient Weapon Uranus."
Soros shook his head and said.
"Is that so? That's a pity. If we could find the Ancient Weapon Uranus in advance and destroy him, then we could cripple the World Government's strongest trump card!"
Athena said with emotion.
"Just because we can't find him now doesn't mean we won't find him later. As long as the Ancient Weapon Uranus activates its weapon system, there will definitely be a massive energy fluctuation transmitted, and we will be able to find it then!"
Soros said.
The Ancient Weapon Uranus's bombardment power is terrifying. When the time comes, as long as they search based on the source of the energy transmission, they will quickly be able to detect the Ancient Weapon Uranus's whereabouts. This is also their contingency plan for finding the Ancient Weapon Uranus.
However, this time window is very, very short. They must lock onto the Ancient Weapon Uranus's whereabouts before it fires, otherwise, everything will be in vain!
"Hmm, then let's wait until then to talk about it!"
"But I believe in Husband, even so, Husband can still win!"
Athena said confidently!
Marine Headquarters Marineford:
An unprecedented great battle was unfolding at Mary Geoise, and a similar great battle was erupting at Marineford.
The Red Hair Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates were battling the Marine. Even though there was a certain degree of restraint among the high-ranking officials on both sides, the battle was still incredibly fierce.
As their comrades continuously fell, the restraint between the Pirates and the Marine also continuously disappeared, and the battle continued to escalate, with more and more people dying.
"What is going on with this Haoshoku Haki?"
The clash of Imu's Haoshoku with that of numerous Pirates on the Red Line was too intense. This clash of Haoshoku was simply dozens of times stronger than the Haoshoku released by Whitebeard and Red Hair together before!
Most importantly, they actually felt that within these two streams of Haoshoku, one side was contending against numerous Haoshoku with the power of a single person, and among those numerous Haoshoku, they actually felt Nox's Haoshoku.
Who could possibly make Nox and numerous Pirates unite to contend against him? One must know that that was Nox, the World's number one person. Although many of them were unwilling to admit it, they had to admit that Nox was the strongest person they had ever seen. Even Rocks paled in comparison to Nox.
"Whitebeard, it seems the situation on the Red Line is unfavorable for you Pirates. Do you still want to block our way? Be careful that if the Pirates are defeated, it will implicate your Whitebeard Pirates!"
Although Sengoku was unsure of the situation at Mary Geoise, he knew that it was unfavorable for the Pirates.
"gura rara rara, Sengoku, my mission is just to stop you Marine from going to support the World Government. If you don't go to support the World Government, there is no need for us to continue fighting. If we continue fighting, the Marine will suffer more losses!"
Whitebeard laughed heartily. Although he didn't know what was happening at Mary Geoise, he had placed informants there. If the Pirate side was losing, someone would notify him in advance, and he would withdraw early.
No one had notified him to withdraw yet, which meant that the situation at Mary Geoise was still unclear, and the Pirate Alliance had not been defeated. Therefore, it was naturally impossible for him to withdraw early.
If he withdrew early, causing the Marine to support the World Government and the Pirate Alliance to be defeated, he would definitely be held accountable afterward.
Whitebeard was seen by others as having a very straightforward personality, but as an old Pirate who had lived for so many years, how could he possibly be as straightforward as he appeared on the surface?
This great battle could be said to concern the entire World's structure and the survival of the Whitebeard Pirates. No matter how shrewd Whitebeard was, it would not be an exaggeration.
Not only Whitebeard, but the Captains of the other Pirate Crew in the Pirate Alliance were also like this. They all had their own schemes in the dark.
After all, even if the World War was won, the winner would either be the Flying Pirates or the Limitless Pirates. The other affiliated Pirate Crew could only get some scraps.
In this situation, the other affiliated Pirate Crew naturally had their own little thoughts.
"Hmph, Whitebeard, go to hell!"
"Great Buddha Impact!"
Seeing that this old guy Whitebeard was stubborn, Sengoku raised his hand and blasted out a palm strike.
"gura rara rara, Sengoku, anger can't increase your strength to the point of defeating me!"
"Air Quake!"
Whitebeard countered with a slash that shattered Sengoku's shockwave.
"Hahahahaha, the Lord has appeared, all you Pirates will die, all of you will die!"
"The Lord is the true World King, the master of the Empty Throne. It is your dying glory that you despicable Pirates can witness the Lord!"
"Lord, please forgive us. It is our fault that we could not suppress the Pirates, requiring you to personally intervene!"
"."
Upon seeing Imu appear, unlike the resistance from the Pirates, the Gorosei were all humbly begging for Imu's forgiveness at this moment.
At this moment, how could they not know that Imu was truly enraged? They had failed to defeat the Pirates and had fallen into a disadvantage. Their own defeat was only a matter of time. Thus, Imu could no longer bear to watch and personally intervened.
"What? He is the master of the World Government, the master of the Empty Throne? Then what are we Celestial Dragons?"
"Gorosei, what is going on? Explain it clearly to me!"
"Hahahahaha, what master of the Empty Throne? This World will be our Pirates' World. You are all remnants of the old era. After defeating you, this World will be ours!"
"That's right, what kind of trash dares to claim to be the World King? This World belongs to us Pirates!"
"."
Hearing the Gorosei's words, the Celestial Dragons present couldn't believe that the Gorosei would say such things, but the Pirates present were still defiant. They wouldn't believe in any World King. They only cared about themselves. Otherwise, they wouldn't have attacked the World Government to seize this World!
"Are you the source of the Pirates? You truly don't know your own limitations!"
Regarding the Celestial Dragons' questioning and the Pirates' mockery, Imu didn't pay attention to the ants on the ground but turned to look at Nox and Golden Lion.
These two were the masters of the Limitless Pirates and the Flying Pirates, and also the culprits behind the outbreak of this great battle. As long as they were killed, the rest would just be ants that could be easily crushed.
"You finally came out, Imu. After being the World King for eight hundred years, you should die today. The throne under your butt should be given to me to sit on!"
Facing Imu, Nox stepped forward, looking at the other party with burning eyes, without any fear.
"Damn it, how does he know Lord Imu's name and Lord Imu's secret!"
Seeing Nox say this, the Gorosei were shocked. Lord Imu's existence had clearly been erased. Only the five of them should know about it. Now Nox actually knew!
"What? This guy has actually lived for eight hundred years and been the World King for eight hundred years?"
Hearing Nox say this, and the Gorosei also admitting it, everyone present was no longer calm at this moment.
Whether they were Pirates or Celestial Dragons, they were all looking at Imu with naked greed at this moment. After all, everyone wanted to achieve immortality, and Imu being able to live for eight hundred years meant that the other party had mastered the method to achieve immortality. As long as they could obtain it, could they also live forever?
Even if they couldn't live forever, living for eight hundred years would be enough for them!
"Damn it, these people actually dare to covet Lord Imu!"
Seeing this scene, the previously frantic Gorosei suddenly felt their hair stand on end. They had subconsciously blurted out Lord Imu's secret, letting everyone present know.
One must know that back then, in order to erase his existence, Lord Imu had killed countless people. Now that all these people knew Lord Imu's secret, they would all have to be erased, including those top-tier Celestial Dragons present!
"As expected, they are ants, consumed by greed!"
Seeing such naked greedy eyes, Imu's cold voice was heard again. He hadn't seen such eyes for eight hundred years.
Everyone who had shown him such eyes before had died!
"Jie hahahaha, Nox, don't try to go first. Let me go first this time!"
Seeing Nox subtly wanting to rush forward, Golden Lion immediately stopped Nox. Defeating Imu and becoming the World King was something they had agreed upon before, and it was witnessed by all the Pirates.
But who would strike first was a question. The one who struck first undoubtedly had an advantage, which was the chance to defeat Imu and become the World King, and the person who went after them could no longer intervene.
If the person who first fought Imu was defeated, the other person could then attack Imu.
It could be said that the person who struck first had a greater advantage, while the person who went after them might not even get a chance to strike.
This agreement made the cooperation between Nox and Golden Lion closer.
Although this agreement was merely a verbal agreement witnessed by all the Pirates, its restrictive force was not strong, and anyone could break the contract.
But for Nox, he would not break the contract because he knew that Golden Lion could not defeat Imu.
And for Golden Lion, he himself knew that even if he fought Nox one-on-one, the probability of losing was very high.
