At the same moment, the dust and sand kicked up by the violent explosion had dissipated.
The Five Elders... No, the four elders stood on the ground, striking their unique poses as they coldly stared at the giant crater in front of them.
As for St. Jaygarcia Saturn, he was once again cleaved in two by Ian. No, this time under the influence of the Hakoku Sovereignty, he was not only cleaved in two, but also torn into many pieces, and has not yet recovered.
Seeing this, the other four elders also became serious, frowning as they stared at Saturn.
The recovery speed of Saturn's immortal body is rather slow!
Is it overloaded?
No wonder Saturn let them come over...
Although they were somewhat surprised, they were not nervous.
It's just overloaded, not to the point of killing them.
At this moment, as if sensing something, the four elders suddenly turned their heads, their expressions sharp as they stared into the massive, cracked crater.
Amidst the dissipating dust, a figure staggered to his feet, spitting out a mouthful of thick blood onto the ground beside him.
Although the man was torn to shreds, with not a single part intact, he did not fall down again. He stood up from the giant pit with a smile on his face, only appearing more ferocious amidst the blood and wounds.
This was none other than the owner of the Umbrella Corporation, Ian, the God of Sun.
And even though this guy was covered in wounds and seriously injured...
Those injuries would have made it impossible for anyone else to get up, but he not only stood up but also walked over slowly with an axe in his right hand and a smile on his face.
"Thump!" "Thump!"" Thump!"
Each step was filled with power; with each step, the earth trembled, causing the already cracked ground to split open again, leaving one pit after another.
Moreover, with each step he took, his injuries lessened, causing the four elders who witnessed this to widen their eyes in disbelief.
Immortality?
This guy possesses an immortal body, too?
But they quickly realized that this wasn't immortality, but rather... An extraordinary rate of recovery!
They were somewhat aware of the Umbrella Corporation boss's abilities and, therefore, knew that he would recover quickly under the sun, but they never expected it to be this fast!
It's practically like being immortal!
Is it because of those lights?
The light gathered on the island has amplified this guy's regenerative abilities once again?!
The four elders' gazes deepened as they watched Ian, who showed no fear as he walked towards them step by step.
Saturn is right, this guy... his talent is no less than that of Rocks, and he also has the potential to become the king of the world!
How could someone who is just an ordinary person possess such talent?
At this moment, having fully recovered and with his shirt torn apart, showing his impressive muscles, Ian had already walked up to the four elders.
They stared directly at each other, neither side backing down.
Although no one made another move or even any other action, they simply stood there, with each other at the center, but then a terrifying Conqueror's Haki suddenly burst forth.
This is a clash of Conqueror's Haki!
Even though Ian was alone, he was not at a disadvantage under the light!
Meanwhile, St. Jaygarcia Saturn had also recovered, but the recovery time was even longer than before. His face was filled with rage, and his massive, monstrous body was engulfed in chilling flames as he glared at Ian and roared angrily: "You bastard!!!"
"Calm down, Saturn."
Unlike Saturn, even though the strength of the man before them was somewhat unexpected, the four elders maintained their elegance and nobility while calmly looking at Ian. "Tell us, Ian, the God of Sun, do you possess D in your name?"
Ian: "...?"
Why did the Five Elders suddenly ask this?
Ian was also taken aback for a moment, then looked at the four people in front of him with amusement: "Looks like I've finally scared you. So, do you think I have?"
"No?"
Although Ian did not answer, the four elders seemed to understand something. They looked at Ian calmly and said, "Afraid? You're wrong. We're just a little surprised."
"I must say, it is truly surprising that a strong person like you could emerge from a group of lowly people."
"Perhaps in a few years, you might really become the next Rocks, or even the true king of the world."
"But it's over!"
"Your life ends here!"
As soon as those words were spoken, the previously suppressed Conqueror's Haki suddenly burst forth from the Five Elders.
Faced with this, Ian's expression remained unchanged, and he released his own Conqueror's Haki as well.
Then, there's an even more exaggerated and violent clash of Conqueror's Haki. The mere force of their Conqueror's Haki stirred up the entire world.
Without further hesitation, the two sides clashed once again.
No one held back; they all used their strongest attack.
Flames soared into the sky, lightning flashed, and thunder roared!
At a speed invisible to the naked eye, the two sides fought from the sky to the ground, and from the inland to the shore.
Everything in their path was destroyed, and no sturdy building could withstand their attacks.
The fierce battle and violent impact brought the other battlefield to a standstill.
Even Figarland Shamrock stopped, looking with great surprise at Ian, who was still holding its own against the siege of the Five Elders.
At this moment, everyone stopped fighting and quietly watched the earth-shattering battle unfold before them.
But no one noticed that on this island, as bright as day, a faint ray of sunlight... was quietly scattering on the island.
Dawn is coming!
…
Rewind the time a little bit, to the moment when news of the attack on Impel Down broke off and the Five Elders' ambush of the Umbrella Corporation.
As the current Fleet Admiral, Sengoku can no longer afford to be idle.
He had to guard against the sudden reappearance of the vanished Whitebeard Pirates, arrange for warships to immediately support Impel Down, and redeploy defenses to prevent a sudden attack by the Umbrella Corporation.
Even though he felt that the Five Elders had personally intervened this time, and he had heard that even the God's Knights had been dispatched, facing such a terrifying siege, the Umbrella Corporation was probably really doomed this time.
