These words were earth-shattering.
Everyone present stared in shock at the crazy child in front of them.
How old was he? Ten? Twelve?
He actually had such courage and audacity!
Killing a Five Elder—this was simply...
"What a great idea!" Golden Lion Shiki expressed what everyone was thinking.
Shiki's cigar fell to the ground, but he didn't care. This was far more exciting than smoking!
If they missed this chance, they'd regret it forever.
Besides Shiki, who was visibly intrigued, Charlotte Linlin, Silver Axe, and Wang Zhi all showed some interest.
Kaido, like the Golden Lion, was itching to act. The Celestial Dragons—those bastards! If he killed a Five Elder, he'd instantly become infamous across the seas! No one would control him anymore!
Gloriosa looked at Zaki deeply, her brows furrowed, but said nothing.
As a senior officer of the Rocks Pirates and the Empress of Amazon Lily, she couldn't openly rebel against the World Government like this.
Zaki didn't mind. Gloriosa's stance was exactly what he expected—she wasn't here for him, they just crossed paths.
Whitebeard wouldn't get involved either. With his crew, he wasn't about to take such reckless risks.
Stussy was tied to Whitebeard, and her combat ability wasn't anything to rely on.
Captain John wasn't interested—his focus was treasure, not fame or rebellion.
Behind Zaki, Kuma stood silently, watching his back with admiration. Is this… Nika?
At the highest point of the Valley of the Gods, Saint Saturn observed the chaos below.
"Yes, Roger and Garp have teamed up against Rocks," he muttered.
Was he talking to himself or someone else? Though standing alone on the peak, he wasn't truly alone.
This was one of Saturn's scientific inventions—a device that let him communicate remotely with the other Four Elders.
"Uncertain. The battlefield is a mess. Even with Roger and Garp together, they may not be able to defeat Rocks."
"Saint Topman? He's covering the evacuation of the remaining Celestial Dragons."
"Good. As it should be."
"Three Celestial Dragons are dead—killed by two runaway slaves. One brat carries the bloodline of the Buccaneer tribe, and the other has awakened Conqueror's Haki. They must be eradicated!"
"No matter what, the Valley of the Gods will be wiped from history afterward, correct?"
After agreeing on their plans, Saint Saturn fell silent, staring into the flames below.
Rocks…
Suddenly, a massive building came crashing toward him. It hit with a deafening boom, rubble scattering everywhere.
Saturn had already dodged, leaping into the air. The wind blew his white hair upward as his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.
"Who?"
"!" His eyes narrowed in shock.
A towering woman soared toward him on Zeus, wielding Napoleon infused with fire and lightning.
"Indra!"
The flaming, lightning-charged slash from Charlotte Linlin ripped across Saturn's chest, blood spraying into the air.
"Gyu-Gyu no Mi—Hybrid Form!"
Mid-air, Saint Saturn shifted into his Zoan hybrid form, maximizing his strength and resilience.
Zoan users had three forms: human, hybrid, and full beast.
The hybrid form combined the fighting intelligence of a human with the brute force of a beast.
But full beast form was pure carnage—speed, strength, and defense pushed to the extreme, though clarity of thought diminished.
Saturn's body twisted monstrously:
His lower body sprouted eight massive purple spider legs.
His torso grew inhumanly grotesque.
His face transformed into a spider's visage, compound eyes glowing menacingly, two massive horns jutting from his head.
Shiki floated in mid-air, his two swords drawn.
"Zoan user, huh? All that bulk just makes you a bigger target! Lion… Chikiri Valley!"
With rapid hand movements, countless slashing shockwaves carved through Saturn's body.
Above, a green dragon circled, glaring at the Elder with blazing hatred.
"Bolo Breath!"
Kaido's scorching blast erupted like a cannon of fire, scorching Saturn and drawing out a howl of agony.
Silver Axe lunged next, his massive silver weapon raised high. With a thunderous swing, he brought it down on Saturn's neck.
A deep wound split open, bone and blood spraying in a crimson arc.
Wang Zhi, meanwhile, sat drinking casually. Captain John had wandered off, but Wang Zhi tilted his empty bottle, trying to get the last drop before lazily aiming his fingers like pistols.
"Bang… Bang… Bang."
Explosions detonated across Saturn's body, rocking him with each impact.
Saturn staggered, unprepared for such a coordinated ambush.
When he crashed to the ground, his body was mangled—a bloody mess of torn flesh and broken limbs.
Kuma, standing behind Zaki, sent out a paw-shaped shockwave.
The compressed air slammed into Saturn's broken form, the force shaking his body violently before it collapsed again.
Zaki took a puff from Shiki's cigar, smoke swirling around his young but fearless face.
He hadn't moved during the massacre. He only watched as one of the world's highest authorities was reduced to a pile of twitching meat and shattered spider legs.
The pirates gathered around, staring at the remains with amusement.
"Hahahaha! This is a Five Elder? Pathetic!" Shiki laughed mockingly.
Zaki suddenly said, "Don't stop! He's not dead yet—he can regenerate!"
The gore began to pulse and reform, flesh knitting together as Saturn's compound eyes glimmered with malice.
The pirates didn't wait. They unleashed another wave of devastating attacks, pummeling him into a broken heap once more.
