"Can you withstand this?!"
Creed's power erupted, a sea of lightning bursting forth, instantly engulfing Abraham.
"How does he have such terrifying strength?!"
Abraham grunted, retreating hastily, unwilling to take it head-on.
But at that moment, Angus and the others had already fled, easing his heart slightly.
If the World Government's Chief Justice were to die here, his own face as CP0's deputy commander would be utterly disgraced.
"Meiken (Underworld Dog)!"
Akainu rushed in to assist, his magma-formed fist surging with blazing heat that warped the very air.
"Hachitoryu: Koran (Eight-Sword Style: Raging Storm)!"
Onigumo's eight blades struck together, sealing off Creed's escape routes.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Creed's aura exploded outward, his presence penetrating the walls, shaking Angus and his fleeing companions to their knees, unable to move.
Not only them—every worker within the floors of this building collapsed, trembling in fear, as if they had seen a demon itself.
SSS+ level Conqueror's Haki!
Even Onigumo, an SSS- powerhouse, faltered before this overwhelming will, creating a small gap in his sword formation.
"Rinne: Ningendo (Human Path)!"
Creed's body blurred like a shower of rain carried by the wind, slipping effortlessly through Onigumo's defenses.
"Rumble!"
The magma blast tore through thick walls. If not for Akainu's precise control, Abraham would have been struck down as well.
"His strength… it's increased again! He's only sixteen or seventeen years old—such a monster!"
Akainu's eyes widened in shock.
Before, he had been able to suppress Creed, and with his Devil Fruit awakening, he believed he was two levels above him.
Yet now, he realized Creed's growth had far outstripped his own—matching him evenly, perhaps even surpassing him.
At the very least, even with combined effort, they hadn't gained the slightest advantage. Worse, outside—Angus had been slain!
"Ah!"
Just as Creed vanished, Angus's anguished scream echoed. By the time Akainu and the others arrived, Angus was already in pieces, his head and body severed. The jurors too lay massacred.
"Creed's judgment!"
Five bloody characters were scrawled across the wall, like five ruthless slaps across Akainu and Abraham's faces, filling them with fury.
"He must not escape! Initiate maximum alert! Report to the two supreme commanders immediately—have them act at once!"
Abraham roared, issuing orders to his subordinates.
Though he was the third in command within CP0, above him were two higher leaders.
"Danger!"
Suddenly, Akainu lunged forward, his arm transforming into magma as he smashed through the western wall.
A sharp sword cry resounded!
"Boom!"
Sword aura and magma collided, reducing that entire section of the building to rubble, sending clouds of dust rolling skyward.
From the outside, it appeared as though one-sixth of the World Government's massive building had collapsed.
Creed hadn't fled at all—he had been biding his time, readying a counterattack! If not for Akainu's intervention, Abraham would have been gravely wounded, if not dead.
"Clang!"
The next sword cry wasn't aimed at Akainu or Abraham, but at the heart of the World Government's building!
A blazing sword light, wrapped in lightning, cleaved downward, slicing the colossal structure in two.
"Rumble!"
Countless World Government elites burst through the walls, searching for the culprit, while others were crushed under the wreckage, screaming in agony.
"Rinne: Tendo (Deva Path)!"
Enraged, Creed cleaved the World Government's headquarters itself!
"ROOM!"
His ROOM expanded again, covering the nearly-collapsing building.
"Ryusei Kazan (Meteor Volcano)!"
Sensing danger, Akainu unleashed his strongest technique without hesitation.
"Fufufufufu!"
Magma fists, vast as meteors, rained from the heavens, setting the very sky ablaze. Flames danced wildly, forcing Creed to narrow his eyes.
The terrifying might of Akainu finally erupted in full!
"Zzzra!"
Crackling with lightning, Creed abandoned cutting down those within the building, focusing instead on dodging the falling magma.
Still, some magma landed outside, killing and injuring numerous Celestial Dragons. Their screams and furious cries forced Akainu to rein in much of his power.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, an icy, chilling aura surged from afar—a powerhouse of Admiral level had arrived!
But with reinforcements gathering, Creed turned into lightning, streaking toward the center of Mary Geoise.
Slicing through the World Government building was only the beginning of his vengeance!
The central park remained untouched by battle, tranquil with birdsong and flowers. Celestial Dragons strolled leisurely with their pets.
"What a handsome man! I want him—find out whose slave he is! I'll pay any price!"
A grotesque Celestial Dragon woman, holding the leashes of two "male pet-dogs," pointed at Creed and ordered her guards to seize him.
Looking at her and her chained "pets," Creed smiled faintly.
"ROOM: Butcher's Field!"
His ROOM spread across the park.
In an instant—human heads and dog heads flew.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
Half the sky turned crimson, the other half frosty white.
Two powerful auras descended, figures landing in the central park. But what they saw froze them in shock.
The Celestial Dragons had all swapped bodies with their pets—human-headed beasts wailed in terror while dog-headed humans frolicked wildly, even eating filth in delight.
"Ope Ope no Mi! Damn you, Creed! Don't let me catch you!"
Akainu clenched his fists, grinding his teeth.
With the Celestial Dragons turned into this grotesque state, this incident was a catastrophe.
Beside him, a CP0 swordsman in a white suit pointed to the sky at a streaking golden beam:
"That's the Pika Pika no Mi—Admiral Kizaru's power?!"
Akainu's eyes widened in shock.
"That's right! How does he have that too?!"
"Fufufufufu!"
Suddenly, five silhouettes descended gracefully, their robes fluttering.
The Five Elders had arrived.
Akainu and the white-suited swordsman bowed deeply:
"Greetings, Five Elders."
"Pika Pika no Mi, hm? Quite fast. Try my arrow."
The second Elder, clad in a deep-blue suit with long white hair and beard, conjured a massive golden bow. With a pull, he loosed a golden arrow at the fleeing beam of light.
"Whizz!"
The arrow tore the sky, but before it could reach, a transparent ripple appeared ahead, swallowing it whole—leaving nothing behind.
