"Tsk, really think you did something clever?", On Rosse's side, he didn't have the slightest intention to stop the island.
Instead, he stood in place, looking with interest in the direction of the Five Elders' office.
From his current position, support was definitely too late.
Even if he rushed over there, at most he'd be collecting corpses.
But with a whole island crashing down, he really didn't believe that person wouldn't make a move.
If she still didn't act, then she would be no different from a turtle hiding in its shell.

[Five Elders' Office]
Saint Peter could no longer sit still, hurriedly ran out, looking at the increasingly closer black shadow in the sky, his face incomparably ugly.
Around him, hundreds of Celestial Dragons from various families had gathered.
"What's going on?"
"Why is there an island?"
"CP, Marines, why haven't reinforcements arrived yet?"
"Damn it, the lowly ones have already attacked, go stop them quickly!"
The Celestial Dragons' panicked shouts and curses echoed across the entire area.
Though most of them had seen the world, they had never seen this kind of world.
What kind of thing is this?
An island falling on the Holy Land, how could this be something humans can do?
Yet their curses could not stop the island from falling.
And due to free fall, the island's speed downward was still accelerating.
"Saint Garling! And you three old ghosts Saint Mars! Wait to collect your clansmen's corpses!", Saint Peter gnashed his teeth as he spoke, his body rapidly transforming, turning into a sandworm over ten meters long.
The sandworm opened its huge mouth and decisively swallowed in the direction of the Shepherd family.
Dozens of Shepherd family members were swallowed by him.
After that, he didn't care at all about the lives of other families and directly drilled into the ground, burrowing into the Red Line.
When the island crashes down, it will definitely cause a strong earthquake, but as long as he runs fast enough, he won't be affected.
Moreover, with his strength, some aftershocks aren't fatal.
Such a huge island, only that lord could stop it.
But he couldn't put his life and family's safety in that person's hands. With his understanding of her, she might not even act this time and might instead blame them for being incompetent.
"Still not acting?", A trace of surprise flashed in Rosse's eyes. The island was now less than 1,000 meters from the ground, and at its current speed, it would arrive in an instant.
"Don't even think about it. She won't act. At most, she'll protect the Room of Flowers," A space-tearing sound came from the side, and Vanessa's mature and graceful figure appeared beside Rosse.
Bullet, who had been fighting with her, as well as other pirates, had also been gathered together by Golden Lion.
"She's that heartless?", Rosse raised an eyebrow.
He and Vanessa weren't exactly close, only nodded acquaintances at best.
Mainly, there weren't many beauties among the Celestial Dragons, and she just happened to match his taste.
Moreover, Vanessa's family was the Nerona family. Saint Saturn had vaguely mentioned before that apart from that person, the rest of that family could be befriended.
The one who had always stayed in the Room of Flowers deep within the Holy Land was named Saintess Nerona Imu.
"A person who thinks of herself as a god, what kind of feelings are you expecting?", Vanessa snorted coldly, crossing her arms, highlighting her lively white rabbits even more.
Her gaze toward the direction where the island was falling held not a trace of sorrow for her dying kin, only complete coldness and hatred.
"Saying that... isn't it a bit inappropriate?", Rosse chuckled, glancing sideways with a half-smile. Saint Sommers was strolling over leisurely.
Speaking of which, the Celestial Dragons had suffered under that one for a long time.
If not for her strength, she would've been pulled down long ago.
After all, no one wants someone standing on their head.
Moreover, everyone's ancestors are dead, yet you're still alive. How could people not have thoughts about that?
As for what kind of situation the Nerona family was in, Rosse wasn't too clear.
He'd only heard that in 800 years, the Nerona family had never produced a Five Elder. Even Vanessa was already the strongest member of her family in 800 years, and no one knew why.
"My my, you young people really are cold-blooded," Saint Sommers had a teasing expression, seemingly not worried at all about the situation in the Holy Land.
Since they were all members of the God's Knights, he didn't even bother pretending anymore.
To be part of the God's Knights, who would care about those pigs?
Even though the falling island looked impressive, in the end it would only kill a few pigs. Stronger people could survive, they weren't worried.
Besides, the one guarding that side was Saint Peter, his family's man, so he was the one least worried.
At least according to Observation Haki, Saint Peter had already taken people and fled quickly.
"Cold-blooded? My only family is my dear grandfather," Rosse sneered and glanced up at Golden Lion and the others still eyeing them hungrily.
Golden Lion and his group had long wanted to run, but although the conversation seemed casual, they had been keeping their sights locked on the people in the sky the entire time.
Trying to run? That would have to wait until everything was over.
As long as Golden Lion and the others showed any signs of escaping, they would all strike at once.
The conversation among the three lasted only a few seconds, but the island was already nearing the ground.
In an instant, the massive shadow in the sky grew closer, larger, as if the entire world was about to be swallowed by darkness.
The massive island, like an apocalyptic disaster, with terrifying force to destroy everything, plummeted straight down toward the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
BOOM!
A thunderous, earth-shattering roar echoed through the entire world.
Under everyone's gaze, the ten-kilometer-wide island, like divine punishment from the heavens, fiercely smashed onto the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
But at the moment the island hit, a strange wave spread outward.
Logically, with such a large island crashing down, even the shockwave should have flattened the entire Holy Land.
But after the island fell, aside from the explosive sound, an eerie silence followed.
After colliding with the ground, the island seemed to instantly lose all kinetic energy, strangely coming to a halt atop the Holy Land.
This scene completely stunned Golden Lion and the others who had already prepared to dodge the shockwave.
"What kind of trick did you pull?", Golden Lion stared intently at Rosse and the others, completely unable to understand what had just happened.
Because the island had been controlled to fall by him, he knew better than anyone what should have happened at impact.
That island stopped in a bizarre way, it didn't crash down completely.
From his understanding, this should've been the Celestial Dragons' final trump card.
But if it was the Celestial Dragons' ultimate method, why not use it earlier?
He could sense that when the island fell, a large number of Celestial Dragons had been crushed to death.
But if it wasn't the Celestial Dragons' final method, then what was it?
That building symbolizing the world's highest authority, under such a massive island's fall, was strangely still intact, without the slightest sign of destruction.
'This... is completely unscientific!'
Golden Lion had sailed the seas for decades, and still couldn't figure out what kind of ability could cause this effect.
