Chapter 361

A gray sword beam tore through the void. Terrifying and chaotic power raged, continuously crushing space and emitting an extremely fearsome aura.

"Enough. It seems I must get serious!"

Lin Xuan let out a loud laugh. His Complete Body Susanoo appeared, further coated in Armament Haki.

·· 0 begging for flowers·· ·······

The incomparably massive black giant swung a sword condensed in its hand, likewise whipping up an extremely terrifying storm that collided with the attack in mid-air.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the smile on Imu's face suddenly stiffened.

Because he saw that the sword beam he had unleashed was actually shattered by the storm Lin Xuan had casually whipped up, dissipating just like that.

"How is this possible?"

Imu widened his eyes, feeling extremely surprised.

At this moment, Lin Xuan, clad in his black Armament Susanoo, charged toward him rapidly.

The heavens and earth trembled as the two figures collided violently in the air.

The two sides exchanged blows rapidly. Explosions occurred continuously on the sea surface below; the creatures in the sea had long since fled in panic, and those who hadn't managed to escape were simply shaken to death by the shockwaves of the battle above!

Finally, after a moment—

"Bang!"

At this moment, Imu's figure shuddered, having been sent flying by a punch from Lin Xuan.

"Ah, impossible! How can you be this strong!"

Imu hurriedly steadied his figure, blood already spilling from his mouth.

He stared at Lin Xuan in disbelief and said, "How is it possible? How can your power be this strong?"

In their brief exchange just now, he felt as if Lin Xuan had suddenly become a different person. Even though he held the Ancient Weapon Uranus, he was actually unable to suppress him.

This left his heart filled with shock.

How could this man's strength reach such a level?!

Imu—no, the Demon Mother Tree—was truly shocked. Even its main body began to vibrate violently.

Lin Xuan looked at him and smiled indifferently, saying, "After all, this isn't your own body. Even if you borrowed Uranus to forcibly increase your combat power, you are still limited by this body. Just how strong could you possibly be?"

Just at this moment, Lin Xuan looked at Imu before him and suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.

This smile made Imu, whose mind was controlled by the Demon Mother Tree, unable to help but shiver. He couldn't help but say with some fear, "What are you trying to do?"

Lin Xuan ignored his reaction, a brilliant light suddenly condensing on his finger.

"Let's use you to test how powerful this is!"

As his voice fell, the light at his fingertip suddenly shot out.

"Death Beam!"

The golden beam flashed and vanished, piercing directly through the chest of Imu, who was controlled by the Demon Mother Tree, under his stunned expression.

"What kind of technique is this?" Imu's expression changed.

At this moment, he heard Lin Xuan muttering to himself, "A technique from the Dragon Ball world '223'. Its power is not weak. If I modify it myself, it should be even stronger!"

Then, a ball of light appeared in his hand again, and he continued to use Imu to test his techniques.

Imu was angry to the extreme. He hadn't expected the situation to turn out like this.

However, even knowing that Lin Xuan was using him to test techniques, he had no way to stop it.

Under Lin Xuan's continuous attacks, Imu was gradually forced into passive defense, completely unable to find an opportunity to counterattack.

……

"Rumble!"

On the sea surface, earth-shattering sounds came from time to time, as if the entire world were about to collapse.

Because they were quite far away, the people at the Holy Land of Mary Geoise could not see the battle, but the sounds that reached them still made many people's hearts tremble.

Just from the commotion of the battle, one could imagine how intense the fight was!

At this moment, many people couldn't help but feel worried.

Imu, controlled by the Demon Mother Tree, was not only stronger but also possessed the Ancient Weapon Uranus, capable of borrowing the power of heaven and earth. His strength was absolutely terrifying.

With such a powerful enemy, could President Lin Xuan really hold him off?

Many people present showed anxious expressions, worrying secretly in their hearts. Some were worried about Lin Xuan's safety, while others were worried about the outcome of this battle.

After all, if Lin Xuan were defeated, then the next to suffer would be them!

Seeing that most people were worried, Princess Shirahoshi's clear voice rang in everyone's ears: "Everyone, worrying now is useless. What we can do now is handle our own battles and reduce the worries for President Lin Xuan!"

At this moment, Roger thought for a moment and also spoke up: "Princess Shirahoshi is right. President Lin Xuan's strength is very powerful; everyone, believe in him!"

Their words brought some comfort to the people present.

Although there were still many people whose eyes were filled with unease and worry.

However, their situation was not optimistic either. Under the crazy attacks of the Devil Fruit users, many had already suffered significant injuries, and their combat power was greatly affected.

Roger, Rayleigh, and the others were leading the crowd, still fighting against Whitebeard, Kaido, and the others on the opposite side. However, they were unable to defeat them, and Rayleigh had even nearly been cleaved by Whitebeard's blade several times.

"I'll remember you, you old geezer! See how I teach you a lesson when you don't treat me to a drink later!" Rayleigh cursed.

Cursing was one thing, but his attacks were not sloppy; he kicked Kid, who was rushing toward him, flying with one foot.

"Boom!"

The walls of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise had already completely collapsed in the previous exchanges. Facing the attacks of the Devil Fruit users, the remaining people could only fight and retreat, and the front line was gradually pushed into the city.

In this eight-hundred-year-old city, most of the buildings had already been destroyed. As for the Celestial Dragons who had originally hidden in the city, they had long since fled to the deeper parts.

The World Government soldiers on the side had not made a move.

"Commander-in-Chief, should we still block them?" Vice Admiral Momonga looked at Kong and asked.

Before Kong could answer, Garp, who was on the side, broke into a loud curse: "What the hell is there to block anymore!"

From his expression, one could see that the anger in his heart was burning wildly.. 0

His own son, grandson, his close friends, colleagues, and subordinates were now all controlled by the Demon Mother Tree, losing their sanity and fighting crazily. How could he not be angry?!

Not just him, others were much the same.

Even Kong, looking at the scene before him, frowned and sighed endlessly in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't even know how to deal with it.

Especially after learning the true purpose of the World Government's establishment, it caused no small amount of conflict in the hearts of these people who had always been dedicated to upholding justice!

This was no longer the World Government of justice in their hearts. Was such a World Government really still worth protecting?

Such a scene was something they absolutely did not want to see!

However, despite this, the most they could do was not intervene, because intervening meant completely betraying the World Government.

Seeing Kong still hesitating there, Garp felt even more annoyed and cursed again: "What is there to be so wishy-washy about? I've had enough. I don't care about being a Vice Admiral anymore!"

After saying this, he took off his Marine Vice Admiral coat, threw it aside, and rushed out, heading straight for Luffy.

"Luffy, I am your grandfather! Wake up!"

"Fist of Love!"

Garp shouted and smashed a punch down toward Luffy without the slightest mercy.

"Boom!"

Luffy didn't even have time to dodge before he was hit on the head by Garp's punch.

Under the fist covered in Armament Haki, the power of this punch was immense. Luffy was directly severely injured and actually fainted on the spot. Nami and the others were stunned.

Garp grinned and then continued to rush toward Ace.

Watching Garp make his move, Kong's expression shifted. Finally, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Everyone, attack and help subdue the Devil Fruit users!"
