Chapter 25

Kizaru’s expression changed again. He turned his head to look at Uchiha Madara, his face filled with disbelief: What is this guy saying? Could it be that what he showed just now wasn't his full strength?!

But how is that possible? How could such a terrifying existence exist in this world?!

Uchiha Madara didn't care whether he believed it or not and launched a frantic attack!

As for Lin Xuan, after some testing, he was satisfied with the results.

He remembered how, when he watched the anime, he had been shocked by the power of the Pacifistas.

And now, the Pacifistas he once thought were so powerful were like tofu in his hands, easily destroyed!

"I have to say, this feels pretty good!"

Lin Xuan grinned and then turned his gaze toward the other Pacifistas!

Seeing this, Sentomaru’s expression changed again: This guy, does he want to destroy all the Pacifistas?!

The Pacifistas are humanoid weapons developed by the World Government in the pirate world.

Their appearance is based on the Seven Warlord of the Sea, "Bartholomew Kuma," and their main job is to follow Sentomaru to eliminate pirates with bounties over 100 million berries. They are incredibly powerful.

In the original story, Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates were once beaten badly by a Pacifista; if it hadn't been for PX-0 (Bartholomew Kuma), they might have been wiped out.

Now, seeing Lin Xuan destroy a Pacifista so easily, Sentomaru’s face was filled with disbelief: "How is this possible?! Where did these two unknown guys come from, and why is their strength so powerful?!"

After the shock, Sentomaru noticed Lin Xuan’s gaze fixed on the other Pacifistas, and his expression changed, his heart sinking: "Oh no!"

In the past, he had been invincible with these Pacifistas, making countless pirates tremble in fear. He never thought there would come a day when he would worry about the Pacifistas being in trouble!

However, he now had to consider what would happen if the other Pacifistas were destroyed by Lin Xuan.

These Pacifistas were powerful, but their production cost was also extremely high. The Marine Headquarters would be pained if even one were destroyed; what would happen if they were all destroyed?

And wouldn't his job of eliminating pirates with bounties over 100 million be impossible to continue?

Thinking of this, Sentomaru became increasingly anxious, but he didn't lose his mind, so he knew immediately that it was too late to order the Pacifistas to retreat!

Furthermore, the hostages hadn't been rescued yet, so they couldn't retreat!

Thus, he decisively ordered the Pacifistas before Lin Xuan could attack: "PX-2, PX-3... PX-9, lock onto the target and attack!"

Immediately, the remaining eight Pacifistas responded, their mouths beginning to charge laser beam attacks!

In Sentomaru’s view, no matter how strong Lin Xuan was, he couldn't possibly defend against multiple directions at once. If all the Pacifistas attacked together, it might produce unexpected results!

Once Lin Xuan was injured or obstructed, he would have time to order the Pacifistas to retreat or take other actions.

Facing this situation, Lin Xuan reacted in a way that surprised everyone.

"Fine, just in time to let you help me test how strong this Susanoo’s defense really is!"

After a light laugh, Lin Xuan abandoned his attack preparations and stood there, waiting for the Pacifistas to attack him.

Seeing this, anger flared in Sentomaru’s heart, and he even forgot his previous shock.

In his view, Lin Xuan had just caught them off guard with a fast attack, which was why PX-1 was destroyed so easily.

Now, he just wanted Lin Xuan to taste the power of the Pacifistas and regret looking down on them.

Soon, the eight Pacifistas, under Sentomaru’s command, finished charging their attacks and fired them all at Lin Xuan.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo..."

Piercing sounds of breaking air rang out almost simultaneously as eight golden laser beams converged on Lin Xuan’s Susanoo from eight different directions!

The surrounding Marines felt their scalps tingle just watching.

As far as they knew, the Pacifistas' laser beams were developed based on Kizaru’s "Laser" technique. In other words, it was equivalent to eight Admiral Kizarus attacking Lin Xuan at the same time!

In their view, no matter how strong Lin Xuan was, he should suffer under such an attack!

Unfortunately, the result was not what they expected.

Under their tense gaze, the eight laser beams hit Lin Xuan’s golden Susanoo, emitting a piercing roar.

However, they were horrified to find that Lin Xuan’s golden Susanoo didn't even move, and by the time the attack ended, it was completely unscathed!

"How is this possible?!"

Sentomaru was stunned!

The other Marine officers were also stunned!

They couldn't believe that this strange golden energy giant was so powerful that it remained unharmed even after being attacked by eight Pacifistas at once!

How were they supposed to fight this?

And just as they were shocked, Lin Xuan gained another wave of Prestige Points without suspense.

Lin Xuan’s goal for testing was achieved, and he was very satisfied with the result.

Looking at the eight Pacifistas, he moved, his golden Susanoo turning into a massive golden streak of light, flashing past the eight Pacifistas!

Wherever he went, the golden spear pierced through the air, clean and decisive.

By the time Sentomaru and the others recovered, Lin Xuan had already thrust his spear eight times.

Even though Lin Xuan hadn't learned any specific spear techniques, the sheer speed and terrifying power were enough to pierce through all eight Pacifistas!

"No!"

Sentomaru let out a hysterical scream, but it was too late to change anything.

All the Pacifistas began to explode almost at the same time!

"Everyone, run!"

Seeing that the Pacifistas were about to explode, Sentomaru retreated quickly and shouted to the others.

The others didn't need him to shout; they understood how dangerous the situation was. They had seen the terrifying power of a single Pacifista explosion, let alone eight of them combined!

So, they began to flee frantically, wishing they had been born with more legs.

Before they could get far—

"Boom, boom, boom..."

With piercing roars, mushroom clouds of explosions rose on the island almost simultaneously.

For a moment, it felt like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking; the entire island was blown into the sea, and the clouds in the sky were scattered by the terrifying explosion.

Large amounts of seawater, due to the sinking of the island, poured in from the ocean surface, forming terrifying waves that swept toward the surrounding islands!

A long time later, Sentomaru appeared in a sorry state on a nearby island, coughing up blood.

Clearly, although he had escaped death, he had been severely injured by the explosion.

After he escaped, a few others ran to the island one after another, but they looked even worse than him.

But they were the lucky ones.

Because the others hadn't escaped at all and were blown to pieces in that explosion!

Perhaps there were other lucky ones who escaped from other places, but there probably weren't many.

Fortunately, the panic caused by the capture of the Celestial Dragons and the previous battle had already caused all the ordinary civilians on the island to flee.

And the other Marines had been ordered to retreat by Sentomaru before they surrounded Lin Xuan.

The hundreds of Marines killed were elites, including many officers, and even the leader of the Sabaody Archipelago garrison, Commander Blackbeard, had sacrificed his life!

Even more tragically, they died in the explosion of war weapons developed by the World Government itself. If this got out, the Marines would definitely become a laughingstock!

"That guy... is he dead?!"

Sentomaru clutched the terrifying wound on his shoulder, his eyes fixed on the area still shrouded in smoke.

At this moment, he hoped Lin Xuan had been blown to death, so at least the sacrifice of so many Marine elites wouldn't be in vain.

But he was also conflicted, because the three Celestial Dragons of the Rosward family were still on the island. If they were also blown to death, the Marines would definitely face the harshest punishment from the World Government!

Thinking about it, Sentomaru’s head ached.

Damn it, it's all those two lunatics' fault. Why did they have to do such terrifying things!

Just then, a yellow flash landed near Sentomaru and the others, transforming into a tall man in a yellow striped suit.

Kizaru!

"Admiral!"

Sentomaru and the others shouted excitedly when they saw Kizaru.

But immediately after, their expressions changed drastically.

Because they were horrified to see that Kizaru was in a terrible state, with many gruesome wounds on his body, bleeding profusely!

Clearly, while they were fighting Lin Xuan, Kizaru had also suffered a great loss in his battle with Uchiha Madara!
