This was too terrifying! Saint Saturn even shuddered. The spider legs of his lower body immediately bent, and with a single leap, he was over a hundred meters away.
"Teach!"
At the same time, he roared. Marshall D. Teach was also trembling all over at this moment.
The black vortex in his right hand fluctuated violently, then surged toward Arashi.
But it was useless. His opponent's two eyes were becoming increasingly vibrant, sharper and sharper.
The holes in his abdomen and chest, the gashes on his body, were all rapidly disappearing, the shocking bloody wounds fading.
If one looked closely, they would see that the blood on Arashi's body was being absorbed by the pores of his skin, flowing back into his body.
Even the drops of blood and puddles of blood scattered everywhere were now levitating, flying back into his body.
This scene was stunning. It was as if time were reversing on Arashi's body, flowing rapidly backwards.
And the process only took two or three breaths. When the crowd looked at that figure again, their pupils contracted, and their hearts all began to beat rapidly.
"Thump-thump!"
"Thump-thump-thump-thump!"
The clear sound of a heartbeat echoed in everyone's ears, filling their faces with gravity and seriousness.
Without a doubt, this was the sound of Arashi's heartbeat. Just from the sound of his heart beating, one could tell how powerful his physique was.
"Is he alive? Shanks!" Mihawk said in shock.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone truly revive from a state of death, to make their heart beat again. It was like seeing a ghost!
"This is something that already happened during the War at Marineford, Mihawk!"
"This battle." Taking a deep breath, Shanks stared ahead, and his Conqueror's Haki shot forward like lightning, pressing down on Arashi.
"We are probably going to lose!" Mihawk's body shuddered, and he tightened his grip on his Black Blade Yoru.
After a series of great battles, they were all exhausted. Both he and Shanks were covered in sword wounds.
"Are we going to lose?" Mihawk took a deep breath, and then a smile appeared on his face. "To be defeated by such a monster is also an honour!"
Hearing this, Shanks also began to laugh. "That's true! I thought that in this lifetime, my captain was already the strongest person I had ever seen."
"I never expected to meet a monster like him in this era." He tightened his right hand on Gryphon.
A glint of light flashed across the blade, and it trembled slightly, as if responding to the thoughts in his heart.
"The peak battle! It truly is a battle at the peak of the world. A battle like this probably won't happen again for another five hundred years."
Shanks said with emotion. And at this time, Marshall D. Teach was roaring, using the power of his Dark-Dark Fruit to attack the nearby Arashi with all his might.
Darkness enveloped Arashi's entire body at this moment. In the blink of an eye, only his two eyes, shining brightly like pearls, were visible.
"My nemesis?" A murmur escaped from Arashi's lips, echoing in Marshall D. Teach's ears and causing his expression to change drastically.
Because he quickly discovered that the power of his Dark-Dark Fruit did not affect Arashi whatsoever.
Perhaps his opponent's Devil Fruit abilities could indeed no longer be used, but the layer of Haki distributed around his body completely isolated the power of darkness.
"His Haki mastery is too high! Several levels higher than mine!" Marshall D. Teach recognised this reality and said through gritted teeth.
Then, he raised his other hand. He held it high above his head.
"VMMM!"
The darkness, like a flame, boiled and burned, forming the silhouette of a demon above his head. "Path of Darkness! I'll drag you completely into the darkness!"
Marshall D. Teach roared. Arashi's eyes moved slightly. His visible eyes saw that he was surrounded by darkness in all directions, unable to see even a sliver of light.
The most sinister of the Devil Fruits was truly extraordinary. At this moment, Marshall D. Teach was facing a life-or-death crisis.
It was imaginable that if he didn't take down Arashi in this battle, his fate would surely be sealed. He unleashed the strongest power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
Darkness was swallowing the ruined Onigashima, obscuring all light. At this moment, countless people were looking up at the sky.
The light was being engulfed by darkness. They were shocked to discover that the ruined Onigashima had transformed into a pitch-black void.
"What in the world happened there?"
A Marine murmured. Suddenly, a flicker of crimson flame lit up, followed by a voice that resounded throughout the heavens and earth, spreading across the entire area.
"Fire Fist!"
The crimson flame, like a meteor, streaked across the sky, cut through the darkness, and then slammed heavily into Marshall D. Teach's body.
The immense power instantly made him grunt and sent him flying.
"Ace!"
After tumbling several hundred times on the ground, Blackbeard roared as he leapt to his feet, patting out the flames on his body, continuously sucking in sharp breaths of pain.
"I'm sorry, Fleet Admiral Arashi! This guy's head is mine for the taking!" The flames dispelled the darkness, and the world was once again bright.
On the open ground surrounding the central battlefield, at some unknown point, more than ten figures had appeared.
At the same time, on the unfrozen ice surface in the distance, one ship after another also emerged.
"The Whitebeard Pirates!" A wave of gasps went through the battlefield.
"Marco the Phoenix!"
"Flower Sword Vista!"
"And the new head of the Whitebeard Pirates, who has recently been called the Flame Emperor due to his immense strength, Portgas D. Ace!"
People recognised this suddenly arrived group, and their faces all changed.
Of course, what surprised everyone even more was the faction the Whitebeard Pirates had arrived to support.
"Is he here to help the Marines?" a Marine murmured. No one would forget the world-shaking War at Marineford that had happened not long ago.
The Whitebeard Pirates were defeated in one fell swoop, and the world-renowned Whitebeard was sent to Marineford.
"Blackbeard Pirates!" Marco scanned the entire field, his eyes finally locking on Marshall D. Teach.
"Your enemy is us!" Hearing this, Marshall D. Teach's expression changed. He swayed as he stood up.
"You know how to pick your moments!" He turned his head to the side.
Sakazuki and Doflamingo were locked in an inseparable fight, and to his shock, the great former Marine Admiral was showing signs of being defeated.
"This is a continuation of our last war, Teach!" Ace said in a low voice.
As his voice fell, a black and red bolt of lightning shot out from the void, pressing down on Marshall D. Teach with ferocious power, while a great wave of flames swept out.
This scene made the pupils of Saint Saturn, Shanks, and the others contract. "His mastery of Conqueror's Haki is not weak at all!"
"Has another powerhouse like this appeared in the world?" Saint Saturn said gravely.
"He is the child Roger left behind in this world. It's only natural that he would have such potential," Saint Garling said.
Then, both of them took a deep breath and turned their gaze toward Arashi in front of them.
At this moment, their opponent was wearing only a pair of tattered shorts, his upper body bare.
Revealing a physique as strong as a tiger or leopard. Perfect and unblemished, without a single wound.
He had truly returned to his peak, and they naturally knew how terrifying such an Arashi was.
"The war is over! Saint Saturn!" Arashi said faintly.
The second his voice fell, his eyes suddenly glared forward.
"CRACKLE!"
Black and red lightning shot out, and in an instant, the void was covered by his ferocious Haki, pressing down on everyone.
"He has returned to his peak!" Feeling this vast and mighty power, Saint Saturn sighed.
"Then, let's begin our final round!" Arashi said faintly.
"CRACKLE!"
Lightning streaked through the void, striking toward Saint Garling.
The latter tilted his head, and the black and red lightning struck the ground, causing the earth to tremble and a great chasm to appear.
In the next second, the expressions of both men changed drastically because Arashi had already moved.
Like a stream of light, those black wings spread open and flapped gently, and a fierce wind instantly arose. He had once again returned to his previous combat form.
"CRACKLE!" Lightning cut across the sky, and the background turned black and red.
"SWISH!"
In just a single instant, Arashi was in front of Saint Garling and Saint Saturn.
"How much longer can you two hold on?" an indifferent voice asked, like a declaration from the god of death. Arashi casually swung his sword.
The blade's light was like a flowing stream, slashing down with a whoosh. As it swung out, it seemed to transform into a waterfall, cascading outwards.
Saint Garling's pupils contracted. He swung his longsword, wanting to block it. But in just an instant. The blade's light changed angle bizarrely.
The next second, it slashed directly at his body.
"Pfft!"
A large shower of blood sprayed out. Saint Garling was sent flying backwards, his life flashing before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
Saint Saturn trembled violently, his body almost reflexively retreating backwards. "Saint Garling!!"
Turning his head to look at Saint Garling, who had crashed to the ground, his blood staining the earth red, Saint Saturn's pupils contracted, and a sliver of fear surfaced in his heart.
In the next second, Arashi's body moved again, instantly arriving above Saint Garling.
"SWISH!"
The light of his blade burst forth again, illuminating the entire sky. "Is this the end of my life?" Garling murmured.
The next second, a brilliant blade of light illuminated his world.
Saint Saturn, with almost no hesitation, took out a strangely shaped Den Den Mushi from his coat and pressed down hard on the button on top.
"This is the only last resort... My mission is also over..." he said with a light sigh.
Arashi's figure turned, and he was once again in front of him. His longsword swung out, the light of the blade illuminating Saturn's face.
The latter used all his strength, wanting to restrain his opponent, but he was completely unable to do so.
The continuous great battles had taken a toll on his physical condition and stamina to their limits.
Saint Saturn raised his cane, colliding with Arashi. After a loud boom, his body was sent flying backwards.
Arashi swooped in, swinging his sword again. After several breaths, with a whoosh, a large amount of blood burst from Saint Saturn's body, and a miserable scream came from his mouth.
"It's over! Saint Saturn!" Arashi shouted. Saint Saturn's expression was pained.
Although he possessed a healing ability that surpassed ordinary people, he was still no match for a powerhouse like Arashi.
Suddenly, a malicious glint shot from his eyes, piercing toward Arashi.
But the latter just tilted his head, dodging the malicious glare, and then punched him in the face again.
"BANG!"
Blood splattered. Saint Saturn's head snapped back, and he saw a sky full of stars before his eyes.
He stumbled back repeatedly, his body momentarily stiffening. And what made him despair even more was that Arashi's ferocious assault was continuing.
His longsword swung again, slashing across his abdomen, leaving long, bloody gashes. Then, with another sharp turn, it severed one of his arms.
"You have lost!" Arashi's voice was deafening, causing Saint Saturn's spirit to waver.
"Have I lost?" he murmured.
He raised his head to look at Marshall D. Teach, who was locked in a fierce battle with Ace, and at Shanks and Mihawk, who were heavily injured but still making their way over.
Finally, he glanced at Saint Garling, who lay on the ground, his status unknown. "Yes, I've lost!" Saint Saturn no longer had the will to fight.
"My gamble failed!" he said softly in his heart. He didn't know the origin of Arashi's immortal body.
But he could be certain that the Dark-Dark Fruit had no suppressing effect on it. And the realisation of this conclusion was even more despairing.
"How can he possibly be defeated?" Saint Saturn murmured. But the answer to this question was naturally no longer for him to solve.
"From today into the future. I will no longer be in this world. Has this day finally come?" he said softly.
At this moment, Saint Saturn didn't even know what kind of emotion he was feeling. Fear? Sadness? It seemed to be neither.
Before death's arrival, he had felt dread, worry, and hesitation, but when it truly came, there was an inexplicable sense of calm.
The scene before his eyes changed rapidly, and he began to review his life.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a dull thud interrupted his memories. He looked down and saw a longsword piercing through his heart.
"It's over," Saint Saturn said softly. His expression was unprecedentedly calm. He gazed at Arashi and suddenly smiled.
"Your strength is unbelievable. But you cannot possibly control everything!" These were two sentences with unclear meaning.
They made even Arashi pause for a moment. "Have you ever imagined your future? Fleet Admiral Arashi."
At this moment, Saint Saturn even had the leisure to chat. "Perhaps you have won today's war, defeated our joint forces. But what about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?"
"What will be the future of this island beneath our feet?" Saint Saturn said, and then he began to laugh.
He seemed somewhat emotional and also had found some release. Arashi's face was calm, and he gazed back at his opponent.
After a long moment, he pulled out his longsword. "That no longer has anything to do with you!" After these calm words, he swung his blade.
"Tch!"
Blood bloomed forth. Saint Saturn's head flew up, then fell to the ground, rolling into the distance.
The world seemed to fall silent at this moment. The footsteps of Shanks and Mihawk stopped abruptly, their expressions changing drastically.
This scene was unbelievable. One of the high and mighty Five Elders had been decapitated today.
Marshall D. Teach's body trembled, his pupils contracting.
"Zehahahaha! The world is about to descend into complete chaos!" he suddenly burst out laughing.
The five old men who stood at the pinnacle of the world, wielding the greatest power in the world.
Also known in the eyes of the world as the Five Elders, they were high and mighty, possessing the world as a whole.
These five stars were in charge of everything, overlooking everything. Even the Celestial Dragons, whom the world revered, were subject to their control.
These five were the true apex of the world! But on this day, a star had fallen. He had bled out on Onigashima, an island sealed for hundreds of years in the New World.
His head was severed and lay quietly there, with no sound anymore.
One of the Five Elders, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, had met his end. He was known as the Warrior God of Science and Defence.
He was also Saturn, one of the five stars that revolved around Imu. The lofty star had fallen at this moment, turning to dust and vanishing without a trace.
If this news were to spread, it would undoubtedly shock the world and stir up an unimaginably huge storm worldwide.
However, at this moment, only a limited number of people were aware.
"Shanks!" Mihawk took a breath and said in a low voice. Shanks did not move, but looked ahead with a grave expression.
Arashi, who had cut down Saturn, slowly walked to his severed head, then slowly bent down, looking down at his opponent.
"The lofty nobles, after death, are no different from mortals, are they?" After a long time, he suddenly uttered such a sentence.
But no one responded. Saint Saturn was no longer able to answer his question. Then, Arashi shook his head and turned around.
His gaze first fell upon Shanks and Mihawk. The two of them immediately focused their eyes, their expressions becoming serious.
Then, Arashi chuckled softly and looked toward Marshall D. Teach. His massive wings flapped forcefully, and a fierce wind arose. In an instant, his figure shot out.
"SWISH!"
A sharp whistle sounded in the void. Arashi became a streak of light, and in just a moment, he was in front of Marshall D. Teach.
"Arashi! He's mine!" Ace shouted.
Arashi smiled faintly. "I'm afraid that's not up to you!" The longsword in his hand turned, and in an instant, it cut into the middle of their fight, then the blade slashed sharply.
Marshall D. Teach was completely unable to block this sudden attack. A line of blood was immediately cut down the centre of his body.
"Ahhhh~~~" A miserable scream was heard. Marshall D. Teach fell backwards, tumbling over and over.
This slash had nearly cut his body in two. Then, Arashi suddenly turned again and swung his sword at Ace.
The latter was instantly forced back, looking at Arashi with a grave expression. "I'm very grateful for you joining, Ace. This means that, at least in this battle, you and I are not enemies."
"But." Pausing for a moment, his eyes grew sharp. "Do not stand in my way either."
As his voice fell, Arashi's figure instantly vanished again. When he reappeared, he was already above Marshall D. Teach.
The longsword in his hand was sheathed, replaced by a fist crackling with black and red lightning.
"In this battle, you caused me no small amount of trouble! Teach!" Marshall D. Teach's face was filled with terror.
He had a premonition that after this punch, he would face death. "Galaxy..."
Arashi uttered, and lightning raged in the void.
"Impact!"
A familiar technique name, but its power was unprecedentedly immense. The next second, the fist fell.
"BOOM!"
A deafening collision sounded. With Marshall D. Teach's location at the centre, the ground shattered inch by inch, and a circular shockwave radiated outwards.
When the dust settled, Arashi turned and walked toward Shanks and Mihawk.
"You two, perhaps it's time to make the right choice." After staring at the two for a long moment, Arashi suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Shanks and Mihawk were taken aback. Their expressions became complicated.
Shanks glanced vaguely into the distance at Benn Beckman and the others locked in a fierce battle with the Marines.
"We have lost!" Shanks sighed.
"The right choice." Arashi smiled.
