"Hahahaha, truly worthy of being my Granddaughter's partner, to actually be able to develop such a large and powerful robot." Rocks laughed triumphantly, especially since he had also received a communication device and already gotten the message Luna had just sent.
That message stated that this giant fellow would be his subordinate in the future. How could this not make Rocks ecstatic on the spot?
What Garp could sense, he could also sense; he too had realized that this gigantic robot was extraordinary.
And at this moment, even the audience watching the live broadcast was extremely astonished.
At the same time, they were highly anticipating how this enormous robot would perform, especially Doflamingo, the arms dealer, whose eyes were already filled with covetousness and desire, because he realized he had bet correctly.
No, he absolutely had to establish contact and cooperation regarding arms dealing with the Pink Hat Pirates, or rather, with Shiro.
He truly desired such a weapon; Doflamingo's eyes were currently filled with greed.
I want it, I really want this big toy.
Also somewhat expectant was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon. If only the Revolutionary Army could receive help from Shiro. Whether it was the equipment on her and the Bei Group, or the gigantic robot before them, Dragon, like Doflamingo, was extremely envious.
Perhaps he should make a special trip.
Meanwhile, inside Sengoku's office at Marineford.
Sengoku anxiously dialed the transponder snail, and the call was quickly connected.
"Tsuru, have you arrived? The situation is critical; Garp and the others are in increasingly dangerous straits," Sengoku immediately said upon connection.
"Don't worry, we are almost there. I'm watching the live broadcast too. Sigh, we still underestimated those girls."
Staff Officer Tsuru's voice quickly came from the other end of the transponder snail. At the same time, her tone clearly conveyed her deep disappointment regarding the Marines' renewed defeat.
"The Pink Hat Pirates are truly terrifying." Reflecting on the entire live broadcast, Sengoku couldn't help but say through gritted teeth. How could there be a Pirate Crew of girls so far beyond common sense?
"Wow, Shiro Sis, you're amazing! When did you build such a massive robot?" Carmen said with a shocked expression among The Girls on the battlefield. Naturally, the other Girls were equally stunned.
"I was already building this big guy before I joined, and it was only recently completed. I still have many things you don't know about," Shiro said with a slight smile, vaguely brushing off the question.
Immediately following this, she shouted loudly, "Skyfire, attack!"
"Instruction received. Attack Mode initiated." Skyfire, having received the order, immediately broadcast a majestic, electronic voice from its main core.
Subsequently, its eyes began to glow brightly, eventually unleashing a purple beam of light aimed at the crowd of Marine Soldiers.
"Don't you dare succeed!" Bogard roared, leaping up. He was preparing to unleash a sword strike, but suddenly, he felt an enormous force, as if a truck had slammed directly into him. Bogard was instantly knocked back.
"Tatsumaki." As he was being flung away, Bogard saw who had attacked him.
It was Tatsumaki; she had unleashed her powerful Psychokinesis, sending Bogard flying.
But it wasn't over yet; Kuina followed immediately.
"Thousand Blades Chasing the Moon." Fragments of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades flew out, forming a 40-meter greatsword. And this time, it was extraordinary. Kuina wrapped both Armament Haki and dark energy around it; all the fragments instantly turned black, enveloped by an outer layer of purple light, looking utterly terrifying and possessing monstrous demonic energy.
With a bang, accompanied by astonishing air currents, Bogard could only immediately use his sword to block the move. However, the terrifying power of Kuina's strike still forced Bogard to grit his teeth, his legs bending, and several cracks appearing in the ice beneath his feet.
Although Bogard managed to barely withstand Kuina's slash, he failed to block the ray fired by Skyfire.
The thick purple ray struck directly into the Marine ranks. At the point of impact, the Marines let out agonizing screams before disappearing within the light beam.
It must be known that Skyfire's dark beam possessed corrosive effects.
"You hateful fiend! Meteor Volcano!" Seeing this, Akainu was furious. He leaped directly into the air and, with a punch, unleashed countless Magma meteors, like a dense barrage of cannonballs, toward Skyfire.
"Danger detected. Mode switching. Combat Mode." Skyfire's intelligent main core quickly identified the threat and initiated corresponding changes and counterattacks.
Skyfire's right hand was wrapped in dense, silvery-white lightning, like flowing snakes. With a sweep of its arm, driving the airflow, it shattered all the Magma meteors with a single, gentle palm strike.
But it wasn't over. Its momentum undiminished, Skyfire continued its attack, sending Akainu flying and giving him a baptism of lightning for good measure.
The extremely powerful, super-dense lightning, potent enough to replace Armament Haki, fiercely blasted Akainu away. Moreover, Akainu was minuscule in front of Skyfire's palm; being gigantic had its advantages.
Driven by the immense power and inertia, Akainu was directly smashed into an iceberg.
"Freezing Time Capsule." Seeing this, Aokiji immediately took action, releasing an ultra-strong blast of cold air from his palm, instantly encasing Skyfire in Freezing ice.
Before the Marines could rejoice or breathe a sigh of relief, Skyfire easily broke free from the ice seal in less than three seconds, then countered with a lightning kick directed at Aokiji. But having learned from Akainu's mistake, Aokiji immediately dodged.
"Skyfire Death Ray, fire!"
Skyfire once again gathered energy in its eyes and released a beam. But this time, what was unleashed was a high-temperature laser Magma ray, astonishingly powerful, capable of instantly destroying a battleship.
Very quickly, this beam, carrying an unstoppable momentum, shot toward Aokiji.
"Ice Shield." It was too fast, so Aokiji could only instantly form an ice shield in front of himself.
"Space Wormhole." But at this moment, Dia made her move. Just as the beam was about to hit Aokiji, she smiled slightly and waved her hand. A wormhole instantly appeared between the two of them, immediately absorbing the beam. Simultaneously, another wormhole appeared behind Aokiji; the beam shot out from it and directly struck Aokiji's back.
As thick black smoke from the explosion rose, Aokiji let out a painful scream and was flung forward. Many witnesses saw that the clothes on Aokiji's back had been burned away. Of course, that wasn't the most important part; more crucially, even his skin was burned off, exposing charred flesh and even some blackened bones.
"Hiss—" Everyone who witnessed this couldn't help but gasp in cold air. The power of that beam was simply too immense.
"Skyfire Thunder, release." But as a ruthless war machine, Skyfire's attack did not end there.
Powerful electric arcs were released from its chest, striking indiscriminately and covering every angle of the surroundings. This single blow once again caused heavy casualties for the Marines; the number of Marine Soldiers remaining was quickly approaching fewer than 180.
Seeing this scene, the Marines, both on the battlefield and watching the live broadcast, felt profound sorrow and anger. The enemy was too strong, but at the same time, they were enraged. When had the Marines ever been beaten so miserably?
However, the next words spoken by Luna caused their expressions to change drastically and turn ugly once more.
"Haha, this is much better. Let me add fuel to the fire." All non-Marine forces were instantly startled. Was that girl going to act again? Did she still have something hidden that she hadn't revealed?
However, the next moment, something that shocked even them occurred.
No, some people had actually already guessed it.
"In the name of the void, open the Gate of the Dead. Let the spirits step through the Gate of Life and Death, be reborn as living beings, and return to this world!"
Luna concentrated dazzling purple energy, representing the summoning of the dead, in her hand. With a casual wave, she struck the ice surface, and a large amount of dark mist, laced with purple lightning, appeared.
As the purple electricity continuously flashed, something seemed to be faintly visible within the black mist.
However, upon seeing this scene, everyone, especially the top-tier powerhouses who had already guessed what was happening, lost their composure. They were all plunged into disbelief and astonishment.
Because now it was clear: Luna truly possessed the ability to resurrect the dead.
But at this moment, compared to other factions and individuals, the Five Elders and the Marines wore incredibly grim expressions, because they clearly understood that such an ability—this most unbelievable power—being in Luna's hands was extremely disadvantageous to them.
They couldn't help but roar in anger internally, especially the Five Elders. Why must such power be held by Luna, and not by their World Government?
Conversely, all other forces fell silent, because Luna possessing the ability to resurrect the dead presented both advantages and disadvantages for them. The disadvantage was naturally that too many powerhouses on this great sea had already become history, but Luna could revive them and bring them back to this great sea. Relying on Luna's strength, coupled with her grandfather Rocks, reviving these people and then taming them for use would be effortless.
The thought that they might have to face these powerhouses, facing the Pink Hat Pirates and Rocks, constituted the disadvantage.
As for the advantage, there were countless people on this great sea who had lost those they loved and cherished. Now, through Luna, they saw a chance for these beloved and cherished people to return to this great sea, an opportunity to meet and be with them again.
"Hahahaha..." The next moment, a large volume of aggressive and sinister laughter directly emanated from within the purple lightning and black mist.
