Chapter 359: Chaotic battle erupts! Poseidon activated!

"Rumble!"

In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, a great battle erupted, and it had completely fallen into chaos.

All the Devil Fruit users here seemed to have collectively lost their minds, completely losing their rationality and leaving only the instinct to fight.

There were quite a few Devil Fruit users present, such as the Whitebeard Pirates, like Marco the Phoenix, Fire Fist Ace, and Diamond Jozu; these division commanders were all Devil Fruit users with relatively powerful strength!

These people launched indiscriminate attacks on their surroundings without warning, and caught off guard, many people in the crowd were injured directly!

"Kill!"

Even Whitebeard gave a loud shout.

He threw a punch, and the Trem-Trem Fruit erupted; violent vibrations broke out, and the air appeared with spiderweb-like cracks, immediately causing many pirates of the New Era Alliance around him to vomit blood and fly backward.

"Pops, what’s wrong with you? Wake up!"

"Damn it, what is going on? Pops seems to have lost his mind?"

"Quick, dodge, Pops is going to attack again!"

"Boom!"

Another loud noise rang out, and Whitebeard swung his blade, Murakumogiri, fiercely. A mountain-toppling force erupted, the ground shook violently and cracked, and another group of people was sent flying while coughing up blood.

Immediately after, Whitebeard didn't stop, roaring as he continued to charge and kill others around him.

It wasn't just him; people like Marco and Ace were also unleashing their Devil Fruit abilities at this moment, starting to launch attacks frantically and causing no small amount of damage to others.

On the other side, Monkey D. Dragon of the Revolutionary Army roared, also falling into madness, and began to attack the people around him.

On the World Government side, Sengoku also transformed into a golden Buddha, slapping out with his palm and killing his way toward the New Era Alliance side; other Devil Fruit users were the same.

"Luffy, wake up quickly, what is wrong with you?"

"Chopper, I’m Usopp, don't attack me!"

The battle erupted inexplicably, and others had no choice but to fight and defend passively; otherwise, their own lives would likely be in danger.

However, because the people they were fighting were familiar friends, they were worried about truly hurting them, so they were somewhat restrained in their fighting.

In addition, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and Shiki the Golden Lion on the sea were also flying toward this side rapidly, along with the Devil Fruit users from their respective pirate crews.

As these people joined the battle, the New Era Alliance side soon fell from its initial advantage into a disadvantage, with people constantly being injured and retreating steadily!

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Uchiha Madara crossed his arms over his chest and said with some confusion: "What exactly is going on?"

Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Obito, and the others were also full of confusion, not understanding why Whitebeard and the others would suddenly become like this; they were clearly their allies, yet they suddenly attacked their own people.

Even Lin Xuan felt very surprised.

At this moment, Lin Xuan received Konan’s message and soon learned everything the Ohara scholars had discovered, finally knowing what had happened.

"So that’s it!" Lin Xuan said in a low voice.

The information discovered by Ohara made him suddenly understand many things he had been uncertain about before.

For example, the abnormality he noticed after killing Blackbeard, and the fact that the abilities of the Devil Fruit users he had Reanimated had disappeared.

Devil Fruit, Devil Mother Tree... Devil, huh?!

Things were really becoming more and more interesting!

These were very close to some of his own conjectures, but there were also things that exceeded his expectations.

Seeing that many people were still bewildered and didn't know what to do, Lin Xuan hurriedly said: "This is the ability of the Devil Mother Tree; it can control all Devil Fruit users!"

"Nani?"

The people around heard this and, just like the Ohara scholars when they first learned of it, were all extremely surprised.

However, the battle was still continuing, and there was no time for them to be shocked.

At this moment, those Devil Fruit users had already acted again, and they could only continue to fight their partners passively.

Uchiha Madara and the others saw this and intended to step in to support.

However, the several "resurrected" Celestial Dragon ancestors who had been standing behind Imu all acted at this moment.

"Boom!"

The battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.

Moreover, the strength of the Celestial Dragon ancestors at this moment was actually much stronger than before, and they actually managed to entangle Uchiha Madara and the others, preventing them from supporting the others!

At this moment, on the New Era Alliance side, among the non-Devil Fruit users, people like Roger, Shanks, and Rayleigh were all very strong, and the Fish-Man side was also a very strong fighting force!

However, the enemies they had to face at this moment were Whitebeard, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Shiki, and Sengoku, and they were in a state of losing their minds and attacking frantically!

Suddenly, the situation in the field became somewhat precarious.

Seeing this situation, Princess Otohime was also full of anxiety, and then she suddenly whispered something in the ear of Princess Shirahoshi.

Shirahoshi’s face first showed an expression of shock.

Immediately after, her gaze looked toward Lin Xuan on that side, and it turned into a look of determination.

Afterward, she closed her eyes.

And at this moment, giant Sea Kings in the deep sea received the summons and began to rush toward the Holy Land of Mary Geoise rapidly!

The Ancient Weapon Poseidon, activated!

The surroundings had fallen into a chaotic battle, and the New Era Alliance side had been completely suppressed.

These controlled Devil Fruit users, although they had lost their rationality, the abilities they were currently displaying were indeed much stronger than usual!

What was even more surprising was that they fought as if they were comrades who had fought together for many years; their battle was very tacit, and they knew how to cooperate with different abilities, exerting even more powerful strength!

As a result, the situation on the battlefield became even more dangerous.

The battle in the field became increasingly intense, and most people could not withstand the attacks of the Devil Fruit users.

Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and the others were all entangled; the eight Celestial Dragon ancestors, with Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama dealing with two each, while Kaguya Otsutsuki was entangled by Rocks.

Everyone was unable to free themselves to provide support.

If it weren't for strong fighters like Roger, Shanks, Rayleigh, and Kaguya Otsutsuki and Namikaze Minato from the Ninja Guild holding the line, the battle would likely have already ended!

However, despite this, they still couldn't turn the tide of the battle, and everyone’s hearts were extremely heavy.

At this moment, Lin Xuan still hadn't acted, remaining standing opposite Imu.

Although the battlefield was already very critical, his face remained very calm, and no tension could be seen.

"You don't seem worried at all?" Imu, controlled by the Devil Mother Tree, saw this and asked with some confusion.

Lin Xuan smiled calmly and said: "Why should I be worried? I already have a countermeasure!"

"A countermeasure?" Imu became somewhat suspicious.

Just then—

"Roar!"

The sea suddenly began to churn violently, and massive figures appeared from the deep sea; it was countless Sea Kings, gathering on the sea of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Everyone saw this scene and couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Sea Kings, there are actually so many Sea Kings?"

"Oh my god, what is going on again? Why are there so many Sea Kings appearing here?"

"Is the end of the world coming? Are these Sea Kings also here to kill us?"

Countless Sea Kings appeared on the sea, and the scene looked very spectacular.

Everyone present felt their scalps tingle and their hearts tremble!

Sea Kings were the most powerful species in the world’s oceans, with huge bodies, many varieties, large numbers, ever-changing appearances, long lifespans, and were exceptionally fierce, possessing terrifying destructive power, while also having the same wisdom as humans.

What pirates feared most when sailing was encountering Sea Kings, because some relatively powerful Sea Kings could even destroy a small island.

However, the Sea Kings appearing on the sea now looked dense, likely numbering more than a thousand, and more Sea Kings were constantly rushing toward this side from afar.

This scene was simply too terrifying!

With so many Sea Kings, if they launched an attack on the Holy Land of Mary Geoise at this time, would this place be destroyed instantly without even leaving a trace?

At this moment, Roger, who was fighting Whitebeard, felt his expression shift slightly when he saw this scene.

Immediately after, his gaze looked toward the direction of the Mermaid Princess, and finding that her forehead was already covered in sweat, an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face.

These Sea Kings were summoned by the Mermaid Princess!

The Ancient Weapon Poseidon, the king of all Sea Kings; only she could summon so many Sea Kings!

Roger’s heart stirred; he had also pursued the Poneglyphs and had even been to Laugh Tale.

Before he died, the treasure ONE PIECE he told the world about pointed to Laugh Tale, and he had even started the Great Pirate Era for this reason, actually to attract more people to go and unravel the secrets of this world.

So, Roger had actually discovered some secrets back then, such as some records about the three Ancient Weapons.

Could it be that the Mermaid Princess wanted to—

"Roar!"

The Sea Kings on the sea roared frantically, and then began to swim rapidly, which made the hearts of many people present rise.

However, what was surprising soon was that these Sea Kings did not attack the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, but began to frantically ram the surrounding Red Line.

"Rumble!"

Under the frantic destruction of thousands of Sea Kings, coupled with the influence of the previous battle, the Red Line began to crumble rapidly at this moment.

Finally, with a loud boom, the Red Line that stretched to the horizon collapsed over a large area, revealing the enormous vines below; those were the roots of the Devil Mother Tree!

At this moment, the Sea Kings in the sea roared, and then swarmed up, beginning to launch attacks on these roots.

Each of these Sea Kings had strong destructive power, and under their attacks, many of the enormous vines were soon bitten off.

The vines in the sea also began to move and resist rapidly like spirit snakes.

At this moment, Imu’s gaze looked toward the Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi, and the expression on his face finally changed.

"Poseidon, it was she who summoned these Sea Kings!"

Imu’s expression became extremely ugly, and he stared at Lin Xuan and said: "You really did know quite a lot; you even knew about this!"

Watching so many Sea Kings attacking his main body, Imu’s eyes flickered, as if he remembered the past!

Some people around had actually been paying attention to the situation here, and when they heard Imu’s words, their expressions shifted slightly, and they thought to themselves: Could it be that Guild Leader Lin had discovered how to defeat the Devil Mother Tree?

However, just then, Imu suddenly laughed.

Imu’s smile looked somewhat mocking and somewhat proud.

He stared fixedly at Lin Xuan and said slowly: "Could this be your countermeasure? Heh heh heh, what a pity; I already said before that you were one step too late!"
