The sword light released by Tsugakuin Yoshiichi pierced through the holy land and rushed straight to the bottom of the red earth continent. The terrifying domineering aura spread in the air. The area covered by the gray mist was all within the coverage of the slash. The entire holy land was instantly turned into powder under the sword light of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi.
Zhan Guo, who was far away from the battlefield, had already run far away when Ji Guo Yuanyi was ready to go. Before that, Ji Guo Yuanyi went to the underground palace to look for Im, and there were still Im's puppets left on the land. Zhan Guo, who was already injured, naturally knew that if he stayed in the holy land in that state, it would only cause trouble for Ji Guo Yuanyi.
Therefore, long before the battle between Yoshikazu Tsugakuin and Joy Boy, Sengoku had already left the holy land far away. And when Yoshikazu Tsugakuin slashed down with his sword, Sengoku, who was obviously far away from the holy land, was still affected by the terrifying hurricane above the holy land. Even though he was at the edge of the battlefield, he was still blown away a thousand meters by the hurricane.
The blinding light lasted for a long time before gradually dissipating, but the terrifying domineering aura that permeated the holy land lingered for a long time, condensing into tangible domineering aura that even set off gusts of strong wind on the empty red soil continent, blowing the clothes of the Warring States Period fluttering.
His vision returned to him, and Zhan Guo managed to keep himself steady in the strong wind. He raised his head and stared ahead, only to find that the originally magnificent holy land had disappeared from his sight, and in its place was a bottomless "sinkhole".
The moonlight was shining, but it had no way of reaching the bottom of the sinkhole in front of him. In Zhan Guo's eyes, the sinkhole was dark, and everything in the holy land had returned to nothingness.
The walls of the sinkhole were a dark red. Perhaps it was because of the violent friction between the ground and the Red Earth Continent when Ji Guoyuan's slash fell. The solid rock walls looked like they had just been burned by flames, turning red and cracking. Stone and rubble continued to peel off from the walls of the pit and fall into the darkness below.
The huge temperature difference between the inside and outside of the sinkhole caused a cyclone to form in the sinkhole. Even though Zhan Guo was standing at the very edge, he could still feel the heat waves coming from the pit.
“Here, here.”
The huge crater that suddenly appeared on the red soil continent filled Zhan Guo's eyes with astonishment. He knew that Jigoku Yoshiichi was very strong, but it was not until Zhan Guo saw the destructive power of Jigoku Yoshiichi's sword with his own eyes that he could clearly realize how strong Jigoku Yoshiichi was.
Zhan Guo had seen the top powerful people in this sea before, including those who shattered islands with one blow and created tsunamis with their powers. He had also seen the kind of destructive power that Zhan Guo had.
But what Zhan Guo could be sure of was that the destructive power those people could cause was nothing compared to that of Yoriichi Tsugikoku in front of him.
Destruction
Such words are more or less exaggerated when used to describe other people, but they are extremely suitable to describe the attack of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
The holy land where the Celestial Dragons had lived for generations was not simply razed to the ground, but was simply blown to pieces by Yoshiichi Tsugumi. Their existence was completely wiped out from this world by Yoshiichi Tsugumi.
Not only the Celestial Dragons, but also the places where their ancestors had lived, the wealth they had accumulated over the years, and the history they had recorded, all vanished in this moment.
"Plop!" Perhaps it was because Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's attack brought great shock to Zhan Guo, or perhaps it was because Zhan Guo was no longer able to stand due to his injuries.
With a thud, the naval marshal, who had been in a high position for many years, sat down on the ground without caring about his image at all. The shock on his face had turned into confusion, as if he was in a dream.
Gently rubbing his cheek, Zhan Guo felt the real touch, and his eyes regained focus.
“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have suspected that everything that was happening before my eyes was a dream.”
"Tsugokuni Yoriichi, with his human body, is actually able to deliver a slash of this magnitude."
"This destructive power is already comparable to ancient weapons."
Sengoku had personally witnessed the devastating state of the Kingdom of Alabasta after being attacked by the World Government, but what was the difference between the Holy Land today and the Kingdom of Alabasta attacked by ancient weapons?!
Even compared to an island country like the Kingdom of Alabasta, the holy land is located on the red soil continent, and the hardness of the land here is simply incomparable to that of a desert country like the Kingdom of Alabasta.
To be precise, the destructive power caused by Tsugikuni Yoriichi's slash far exceeded that of the ancient weapon that attacked the Kingdom of Alabasta.
Furthermore, unlike the limitations of ancient weapons, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's slashing attacks require him to have enough strength to continue unleashing them.
A golden light fell from the sky and soon landed beside Sengoku, condensing into the entity of Tsugakuni Yoriichi.
After releasing this slashing attack, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi looked like nothing had happened. His face was not red, his heart was not beating fast, and even his breathing was still as calm as usual. After appearing next to Sengoku, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi looked at the sinkhole in front of him with a calm face, and his observation Haki also swept towards the bottom of the sinkhole.
All I could sense was chaos and nothingness, and I couldn't detect any sign of life.
However, Yunyi was not impatient. He explored every inch of the sinkhole bit by bit, looking for Im's breath.
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary Celestial Dragons at all. In other words, ordinary Celestial Dragons have no chance of survival under his slash. Perhaps only Im has a chance to survive Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's slash.
She is the one that Tsugumi Yuichiro really needs to pay attention to!
Zhan Guo sat silently beside Jigoku Yoriichi without saying a word, while Yoriichi raised his long sword lightly, but he did not completely let down his vigilance. He was just concentrating on sensing everything in the tiankeng and the red earth continent.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiguo Yuanyi squatted down slightly, patted Zhan Guo on the back and asked:
"Marshal Zhan Guo, how is your injury? Are you still able to move?"
"It's time for us to leave."
Hearing what Tsugakuni Yoriichi said, Zhan Guo couldn't help but look startled, slightly turned his head to look at Tsugakuni Yoriichi, and after a long time, he came back to his senses and replied:
"ah?"
"Oh! It's okay, my injury is nothing."
"Have they left? Have the enemies been eliminated?"
Although he had clearly avenged his great hatred, Zhan Guo did not feel any joy in his heart at this moment. He was more confused and at a loss as to what to do.
“It should be destroyed.”
Tsugikoku Yoriichi nodded slightly, but the words he said were not so certain. His observation Haki could no longer sense any trace of Im's aura, but since he had not seen Im's body with his own eyes, Tsugikoku Yoriichi could not actually confirm whether Im was dead or not.
Perhaps the other party had some special means hidden, and was lucky enough to escape from the hands of Yoriichi Tsugakuni and leave the battlefield quietly.
Although this possibility is almost non-existent, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not say anything final directly, and still left some room for maneuver.
"should?!"
"You have no way to confirm it?"
Zhan Guo shook his head slightly, then turned his head and looked towards the sinkhole in front of him.
When Zhan Guo heard what Jigoku Yoshiichi said, his first reaction was a little worry, but soon, when Zhan Guo saw the horrible sinkhole in front of him, this trace of worry disappeared.
What kind of person could survive such an attack? !
In Sengoku's opinion, except for Yoriichi Tsugakuni who has such ability, no one else can do it.
Although he knew that the enemy that Tsugikuni Yoriichi had to deal with was very strong, Sengoku still didn't think that any human could survive such an attack.
should
Ji Guoyuan was really worrying too much when he said that.
Zhan Guo put his hands on the ground and slowly stood up. Jigoku Yoshiichi also reached out to help him. Golden flames were released, flowing along Zhan Guo's arms, to his feet, and lingering on the wound, slowly healing Zhan Guo's injuries.
Sengoku himself does not have the ability of super-speed regeneration, but Tsugakuni Yoriichi's devil fruit ability can quickly heal such injuries.
The reason he didn't do so before was simply because he didn't want Zhan Guo to continue participating in the battle.
Even when he was injured in battle, he still wanted to help Tsugakuten Yoriichi. If Tsugakuten Yoriichi could heal Sengoku's injuries, he would definitely fight to the death with the enemy.
Sengoku's personality actually has certain similarities with those of Garp, Zephyr and others. It is precisely because these people have certain things in common that they can become close comrades.
When facing someone like Sengoku, Tsugikuni Yoriichi is very willing to do something that is easy to help.
"The supreme power of world government."
"The Holy Land. Did you just take it away like that?"
Zhan Guo stood up and looked at the holy land that had turned into a sinkhole, his tone full of sighs. At this moment, Zhan Guo's figure became a little hunched. He no longer had any regrets in his heart, but in this instant he looked dozens of years older.
As the naval marshal, Zhan Guo was actually very young and healthy. Originally, there was no sign of old age on his body. However, at the moment when his wish was fulfilled, Zhan Guo also showed the old age that he should have at his age.
"ah!"
"It's solved."
Ji Guoyuan heard the sigh in Zhan Guo's tone and nodded.
After looking at the scene in front of him and pondering for a long time, Zhan Guo asked Tsugikoku Yoshiichi beside him:
"What are you going to do next?"
Sengoku was somewhat curious about Tsugakuni Yoriichi's future plans. After the holy land was destroyed, a huge power vacuum appeared in the system and structure that the world is currently operating in. It is foreseeable that Tsugakuni Yoriichi and his new navy will fill this power vacuum.
But the biggest question is what to do next once they fill the gap.
Like the World Government, does it win over the nobles and suppress the lower classes to extract the heavenly gold in order to support the huge navy? Or does Tsugikoku Yoriichi have other methods?
“There is a general idea, but no detailed plan yet.”
"In fact, I myself did not expect this operation to be so smooth and progress so quickly."
"As for the new navy, they only intend to expand their sphere of influence toward the front half of the Grand Line."
“We are not ready to receive the rights.”
"At this stage, we can only temporarily maintain the world government system. Reforms will take some time and be gradual."
"The member states of the World Government will not be willing to be so easily overpowered. If we want to completely break the current situation, someone must completely destroy the existing system."
"To accomplish something like this, it's not enough to simply deal with the Celestial Dragons."
Sengoku's words also made Tsugakuni Yoriichi's brain work rapidly. Destruction is easy, but construction is difficult.
Although the New Navy is the largest force in the New World, if one wants to govern the entire world, the size of the New Navy is just a drop in the ocean.
The reason why the world government can control so many countries is fundamentally because they do not participate in the specific political affairs of the countries.
They are like bandit leaders, who only need to collect protection fees from various "villages" and "towns" on a regular basis. As for how the village and town heads of those villages and towns make the people in the territory pay the "fee", this is not the business of the Tianlong people.
This is actually a variant of the "tax-farming system", but for people like Yuichiro Tsugikuni, they obviously will not allow the world to operate in this way.
The advantage of this model of world government is that they can manage the vast world, but the disadvantage is that they will not care about conflicts between countries, nor will they care about the pros and cons of national politics within those countries.
The world that Yunyi hoped for in his heart was not like this.
However, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni also knew that it was not easy to achieve his goal, so he needed a "villain" to help the situation develop.
And the villain, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, had actually already been chosen.
Although Zhan Guo didn't know what Tsugakuni Yoriichi would do next, after hearing what Tsugakuni Yoriichi said, he understood that he must have a complete set of ideas in his mind.
However, at this time, Sengoku no longer cared about these things. He had done everything he should and should not do. The world would eventually be handed over to the generation of Tsugumi Yoshiichi. Letting go early would not necessarily be a wrong thing.
"Let's go."
A soft murmur came from Zhan Guo's mouth, and Yunyi gently grabbed Zhan Guo's shoulders. Then a pair of wings grew behind him, and he carried Zhan Guo into the sky, and instantly disappeared at the top of the red earth continent.
After the two left, the Red Earth Continent became dead silent, with no sign of life.
New World, Redchiled Island.
The Straw Hat Pirates who escaped from Fishman Island sailed here, put down the pirate flag, disguised themselves as an ordinary passenger ship, and successfully landed on the island.
The trade on Redchiled Island is booming, with countless ships passing through. And strangely, the Straw Hat Pirates seem to have some kind of strange "magic". With just a little disguise, the New Navy can't recognize these wanted criminals.
The Straw Hat Pirates and others who sailed here also stayed for a while on this prosperous island.
Night, the bright night hangs high.
Luffy, who had already fallen asleep in the cabin, suddenly had his heart beating violently. The sound of his heartbeat was heard from far away in a sound wave that was inaudible to human ears.
