BOOM!!
A deafening explosion erupted.
The sheer sound alone made one instinctively want to cover their ears.
Under the immense force unleashed by Bob, Saturn's was sent hurtling towards the shores of Marineford with unstoppable momentum.
Under such power, everything crumbled.
The sandy ground was blasted into a deep crater, plants were instantly obliterated and rocks turned to dust the moment they made contact with Saturn.
Even the air seemed to evaporate, leaving a vacuum in its wake.
The spot where Saturn landed became a barren wasteland.
As for Saturn himself, he was now drenched in blood.
His suit was completely soaked with blood, his features mangled beyond recognition.
His back was a mess of shredded flesh from the impact with the rocks.
After skidding across the ground, white bone could faintly be seen beneath the gruesome wounds.
Blood continued to spill from the corners of his mouth—a truly pitiful sight.
Meanwhile, Bob, who was still in the air, showed no signs of stopping.
The instant he struck Saturn, he tapped his foot against the air once more, propelling himself rapidly in another direction.
In the blink of an eye, Bob's slender figure appeared within that void-like space.
Yet, at that very moment, a figure suddenly emerged from within, darting away at breakneck speed the moment Bob made his move.
The figure moved with blinding speed, transforming into a streak of blue light as it fled into the distance.
"Impressive speed!" Bob murmured softly as he sensed the rapidly retreating figure.
The next moment, Bob kicked off the air, giving chase with even greater speed.
And so, two figures—one black, one blue—streaked across the sky in pursuit, flashing past at speeds imperceptible to the naked eye.
No matter how fast the blue figure ahead tried to escape, the black figure behind always managed to surge forward, steadily closing the gap.
Amidst the explosive sounds of air friction, within just a few seconds, the black figure caught up to the blue one.
Their trajectories, like lightning, intertwined in an instant.
BOOM!!
A world-shaking impact resounded as Topman Warcury path was forcibly altered, his body launched through the air before plummeting straight towards Saturn's location.
The sheer force of the collision obliterated everything in its wake.
Saturn, already mangled beyond recognition, was sent flying once more by the shockwave, smashing through several distant buildings before finally coming to a stop.
High above, Bob hovered effortlessly, his feet lightly tapping the air at an extreme speed to maintain his position.
Suddenly, a colossal sword slash tore through the air from behind Bob, carrying an aura of annihilation as it cleaved straight into his back.
BOOM!!
A thunderous explosion erupted, black light flaring like a collapsing mountain!
The destructive energy surged through the entire space, rippling outward in all directions.
Bob, struck by the attack, was sent hurtling like a bullet, vanishing into the mountain in an
With a deafening explosion, the towering mountain was instantly obliterated, as if a massive bomb had been planted in its midst and detonated at that very moment.
The naval structures built atop the mountain also collapsed in a thunderous roar, sending dust billowing into the sky.
"Nice!"
Ethanbaron V Nusjuro, hidden within the spatial void, relaxed his brows and whispered excitedly.
He had waited far too long for this strike.
Despite his two companions being directly struck by Bob, he had held back, biding his time for that crucial moment.
With the spatial power of Shepherd Ju Peter, he had instantly teleported behind Bob, delivering a fatal blow.
No one understood the sheer lethality of that strike better than him.
In the past eight hundred years, not a single soul had survived a direct hit from his sword energy.
Though he acknowledged Bob's strength, this ambush meant that even if he didn't die, he would be grievously wounded and rendered powerless.
"Bob!!"
On Marineford, the powerful figures clashing with the marines shouted in alarm as they watched the mountain crumble.
Whitebeard, Shiki, Kaido, Dragon, Hancock—everyone's expressions darkened.
Meanwhile, the Marines' morale soared.
Kong, Sengoku, and the others cast aside their earlier despair.
However, among the Warlords, Mihawk showed little excitement—only shock.
As the world's greatest swordsman, no one understood the terror of Ethanbaron's sword energy better than him.
Not only was its speed unmatched, but its destructive power was unparalleled.
Even Mihawk, whose swordsmanship had no equal in this world, felt humbled by such might.
To be struck by such a slash meant certain death or crippling injury.
Whitebeard roared and unleashed his full power, ready to rush to his brother's aid.
But then— A disturbance rippled through the collapsed mountain as boulders tumbled down.
The next moment, a lean figure shot out like a spear, tearing through the surrounding winds as it streaked into the distance.
The mountain behind him shattered under Bob's feet, the naval fortress beside it reduced to rubble.
Whoosh!!
Bob's speed in midair was beyond comprehension.
In less than a second, he was standing before Ethanbaron V Nusjuro.
The old man's triumphant expression froze.
Before his smile could even fade, a massive fist filled his vision, growing larger in an instant.
Instinctively, Ethanbaron raised the Shodai Kitetsu to block his fist.
"Clang!!"
A sharp metallic ring echoed as the sheer force of the blow punched a gaping hole through Ethanbaron's body.
He was sent flying, crashing into the ground and carving out a crater a hundred meters wide.
"Guh—!" Ethanbaron spat a mouthful of crimson blood, his face deathly pale, drained of all color.
His kimono was dyed with blood.
"Snap!!"
In his hand, the Shodai Kitetsu—now broken clean in two.
