Chapter 468: The Final Battle!

Off the coast of Britannias.

Sabo stood at the bow holding a Den Den Mushi, momentarily lost in thought:

"Mary Geoise has been destroyed?!"

"Does this mean the monster standing at the world's apex has also perished by an Ancient Weapon?!"

Even in the history he knew well, Gao Wen was the only prodigy across all time capable of withstanding an Ancient Weapon through sheer physical power alone.

Furthermore, according to Sabo's later analysis, Gao Wen's ability to achieve such an irrational feat was largely tied to his specific powers and the battlefield itself.

It was a miracle forged by the Crimson Dragon's abilities combined with the massive volume of ley line energy within Britannias.

On a different battlefield, perhaps even Gao Wen himself could not replicate it.

For such an irrational existence, having just one per era is already astonishing enough.

As for a second one...

Such a possibility is nearly non-existent!

"It should be so."

In the voice coming from the Den Den Mushi's receiver, Dragon similarly suppressed his excitement.

Ever since learning that above the Five Elders existed a monarch seated upon the Empty Throne who had dominated the world for eight hundred years,

the pressure facing the Revolutionary Army had suddenly increased, nearly suffocating them.

After all, the group of Admiral-level powerhouses at Marine Headquarters was already troublesome enough, let alone Mary Geoise, where who knew how many experts lay hidden.

Add to that an existence who had lived for eight hundred years, whose terror had reached an unfathomable degree.

It could be said that if the World Government wished, they could easily annihilate any force outside of Britannias, which naturally included the Revolutionary Army.

But now, with the eruption of Britannias's Ancient Weapon, everything had been destroyed, evaporated, and exterminated.

If Sabo's theory was true and Gao Wen had somehow lifted Britannias directly into the sky, it meant that even if the world sank in the future, humanity would still have hope of survival.

Excellent!

Truly excellent!

One must say, as expected of the man who bears the title of the world's strongest.

His actions are clear and methodical, his moves measured, every step calculated without error, always walking ahead of everyone else!

The Revolutionary Army members nearby also swept away their earlier dejection, reigniting the flames of hope, burning even more fiercely than before!

"With this, even after the world sinks, we will have a foothold, and all the common people of the world will have a future!"

"Bonney~"

Dragon affectionately stroked Bonney's head, his heart filled only with admiration for Gao Wen.

He had naturally heard Vegapunk's evaluation of that man.

The power displayed to the outside was merely the surface of that man's strength; what was truly terrifying was his insight and calculation, akin to foreseeing the future!

At this moment, whether it was Kuma, Dragon, or Ivankov, all felt the magnitude of this power!

However.

Just as Dragon's excitement grew, a burst of static noise suddenly erupted from the Den Den Mushi's receiver.

Dragon frowned and asked:

"What's wrong?!"

"Sabo?!"

"Hello, hello, hello—!"

Dragon pressed urgently, but received no reply; the Den Den Mushi in his hand slowly closed its eyes and retreated into its shell after a few breaths.

"Could it be that the situation..."

"Has changed?!"

While pondering this,

Dragon's pupils contracted slightly as he suddenly recalled the Five Elders who had abruptly appeared at God Valley over thirty years ago!

"Damn it!"

"I knew things wouldn't be that simple; there are new developments!"

"That monster in Mary Geoise... perhaps is not dead!"

Off the coast of Britannias.

Sabo stared blankly at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, which had curled back into its shell and was trembling, feeling momentarily at a loss.

Just as he was puzzled, the air around him suddenly grew heavy!

An invisible oppression, heavy as a mountain range and instinctively unsettling, swept over like a tsunami, seeming to dye everything between heaven and earth in its own color—a disturbing black!

"Knight Gao Wen?!"

Sabo looked up at Britannias in the sky, his pupils constantly contracting, thinking only that Gao Wen had acted again.

But after sensing carefully, he realized the difference!

Although Gao Wen's aura was equally powerful, it was majestic and domineering, never carrying this kind of unsettling presence that made one feel as though they were in hell!

"Is there another monster in this world comparable to Gao Wen?!"

"Who is it?!"

"To make a move at this time..."

"No!"

"I cannot just watch; I cannot let Britannias fall into the hands of those monsters!"

With this thought, Sabo had already made his decision.

After entrusting his companions nearby to stay safe, he leaped into the air, his speed increasing dozens of times in an instant, shooting toward the sky like a meteor and flying toward Britannias!

Whenever he ran out of strength, Sabo would take a coin from his pocket, toss it up, activate the power of the Momo Momo Fruit, multiply and enlarge the coin mid-air, and use its momentum to fly even higher.

Again and again, just as the coins on Sabo's person were about to run out, he finally set foot on the mainland of Britannias.

And he saw the source of that unsettling aura!

Dense black smoke, so thick it was nearly visible to the naked eye, drifted from the interior of Britannias!

Even a single glance made one feel fear rising from the soul, instinctively wanting to turn and flee!

"What kind of monster is that?!"

"What exactly happened in Britannias?!"

Sabo was urgent to the extreme, pushing his speed to the limit, yet he was still hundreds of kilometers away from the source of that black smoke; even unleashing the full power of the Momo Momo Fruit, it would still take some time to arrive!

"Faster!"

"Even faster!"

"Gao Wen!"

"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you!"

Im's voice, filled with furious rage, echoed across the entire sky from central Britannias; having directly encountered the bombardment of an ancient weapon, he too had suffered severe injuries.

Even though, at the critical moment, he had activated his ability to teleport himself along with all his subordinates to Britannias, the losses were still devastating.

Of the army of demonic giants, which he regarded as part of his power to rule the world, more than half had been completely vaporized in that previous attack.

This was almost no different than slicing flesh from his own body!

How could he not be enraged?! How was it possible not to be enraged?! But where was Knight Gao Wen?!

The one filled with doubt was not only Im, but also the Five Elders and others whom he had teleported here.
