"Hey, hey, are your bones made of glass? I didn't even use any force, how did you fall down already?" Dolum stood his ground, an immovable iron tower. He didn't even bother to swing his axe, just letting the marines' attacks land on him. Swords and blades clanged against his skin, creating a shower of sparks, unable to even leave a white mark. A few marines who tried to attack him with physical techniques had their arms numbed and their hands split open by the recoil from his body. The despair brought by this absolute defense was more destructive to the will than a direct attack.
And the real nightmare was the two figures who were like demon gods. Newgate didn't even move from his spot. He just planted his naginata on the ground, and an invisible shockwave spread out from him. The hard volcanic rock of the Pinnacle of Glory rippled like a lake into which a stone had been thrown. All the marine elites who stepped into this area, regardless of their strength, felt their footing give way, their bodies losing balance. Then, a terrifying vibrating force from the earth shot up from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, turning their internal organs upside down. They coughed up blood and fell down in droves.
"Gurararara... a bunch of brats who can't even stand properly, and you dare to talk about justice?" Newgate held his wine barrel and yawned, a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Linlin was even more direct. She was like a child who had broken into a candy store, a smile that was both innocent and cruel on her face. Prometheus the sun became a giant flaming whip in her hand. Every swing brought a sea of fire, burning several marines to a crisp, making them scream in agony. Zeus the thundercloud circled above her head, occasionally dropping thick bolts of lightning, charring the marines who were trying to regroup.
"Wahahaha! You all smell so good! You'd probably taste even better roasted!" Linlin's appetite seemed to have been ignited by the battle. She looked at the figures struggling in the flames and lightning, her huge eyes shining with the light of someone who had just seen top-tier ingredients.
Laurenne, the talented young girl in whom Momousagi had placed high hopes, was now covered in blood, using her dagger to support herself on the ground, preventing herself from collapsing. Her proud speed and skills were like a joke in front of these monsters. She couldn't even get close to anyone. The mere aura they emitted made it difficult for her to breathe, her body as heavy as lead. She looked at her comrades falling one by one around her, at the figures who were like natural disasters. The resolute heart that had been filled with justice and honor cracked for the first time.
Is this... the power of the world's top tier?
Is this... the evil that Teacher Zephyr told us we must defeat?
This isn't a test. This is an execution.
And the executioner, Rocks, had only done one thing from beginning to end. He stood at the highest point of the mountaintop, his arms crossed, a mocking smile on his face, quietly admiring this play he had personally directed, a play called "Despair." He didn't need to make a move. His very existence was the greatest spiritual torture for these young marines. His abyss-like Conqueror's Haki enveloped the entire mountaintop, like an invisible mountain pressing down on everyone's soul, making it difficult for them to even think of resisting.
In the command center, the atmosphere was deathly silent. Zephyr's weathered face was twisted with anger and horror. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His iron-like arms were trembling slightly. On the screen, his most proud students, the elites who had emerged from a hellish trial, were now like lambs to the slaughter, being ravaged by a group of real monsters.
His meticulously designed graduation ceremony had become the world's biggest joke. And he himself was the stupidest clown who had personally handed the butcher's knife to the executioner.
"Teacher Zephyr..." Momousagi's voice trembled. She looked at the tragic scene on the screen, her eyes filled with pity and fear. "Make them retreat! If this continues, they'll be wiped out!"
"Retreat?" Zephyr whipped his head around, his eyes bloodshot, like a beast about to devour someone. "There is no retreat in the Marines' dictionary! In the face of evil, we only die fighting!"
Despite his words, his heart was bleeding. These people were his future hope, the pillars of the Marines! "All units, attack! All units, attack!" Zephyr's roar echoed through every corner of the G-2 base via the broadcast system. "All combat personnel, proceed to the Pinnacle of Glory immediately! I repeat, this is not a drill! Support at the fastest possible speed! Stop them at all costs!"
RUMBLE... The entire G-2 fortress, like a startled steel beast, instantly roared to life. Countless battle-hardened Marine officers of all ranks charged out of their barracks, rushing madly toward the Pinnacle of Glory. In the sky, dozens of patrol airships also took off urgently, their black cannon muzzles aimed at the mountaintop that had now turned into a living hell.
The battle on the mountaintop was coming to an end. Except for Laurenne and a few others who were still struggling on with their tenacious will, all the other marine elites had already lost their ability to fight. They were groaning on the ground, their eyes filled with nothing but numbness and fear.
Rocks looked at the tide of marine forces rushing up the mountain, then at the airships circling in the sky, the smile on his face growing even more cruel. "Oh? Is the main course finally here?" He cracked his neck, producing a series of popping sounds, and then slowly raised his right hand. "But, we have to clear the table before we eat." He looked at the last few standing marine elites and snapped his fingers.
"Heavenly Authority."
An invisible, irresistible repulsive force erupted from Rocks! Laurenne and the others felt a powerful force hit them. Their bodies were sent flying like broken kites, and they slammed heavily on the ground, completely losing consciousness.
After doing this, Rocks turned his gaze to the foot of the mountain. His deep eyes were filled with a darkness and arrogance that could swallow everything. He opened his arms, as if to embrace the entire world, his voice as loud as a bell, echoing through the sky.
"Zephyr! And your lovely subordinates!"
"Come! Let me see just how fragile your so-called justice really is!"
The moment his words fell, the first batch of marine reinforcements had already charged up the mountaintop. They were greeted by the bloodthirsty and excited eyes of the entire Rocks Pirates crew. A true food, a gluttonous feast, was just beginning.
