This day was destined to be a restless one for the entire world.
Ever since the alliance led by Elior severely defeated the Marines, what people could not understand was why the entire world had fallen into an almost deathlike silence.
The Marines was on the verge of collapse, and yet the World Government
Or rather, the Celestial Dragons
Seemed to have no reaction at all.
Did they truly have no response?
Or was it because they were simply too afraid of the monster known as Elior?
Now, Elior was the unquestionable world overlord of the New World!
Of course, the world did not know that not long ago, the weapon sent by the Celestial Dragons, one capable of subverting the entire world, had already been completely destroyed by Elior!
At present, no one among the Celestial Dragons dared to act rashly.
Because even Imu was no longer as powerful as Elior!
Imu's power lay in immortality and in the ability to control the ancient war demons.
But now, the war demon was dead!
Of course, to everyone else, Imu's power was absolute. But to Elior, Imu's strength was insufficient!
Imu was not Elior's opponent.
And so now, even Imu felt uneasy.
As a result, a strange silence blanketed the world.
However, people also vaguely sensed that a war would break out sooner or later.
Because in today's world, it was either Elior or the Celestial Dragons!
There could not be two tigers on the same mountain!
This was absolute!
There would inevitably be a decisive battle between Elior and the Celestial Dragons!
And when that time came, who would ultimately be destroyed?
Although Elior was a pirate, the ones most people in this world wished to see erased were the Celestial Dragons!
The Celestial Dragons should have perished long ago!
On this day, the strange silence was finally broken.
Within Elior's territory, Paradise, a massive number of ships began to gather.
Among them was the Happo Navy, which had surrendered to Elior not long ago. After Elior shattered Chinjao's head with a single punch, the old man had willingly sworn allegiance to Elior on the spot.
In addition, there were Gild Tesoro and his subordinates.
These ships belonged to the Elior Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Beasts Pirates.
At this moment, all three pirate crews were assembled here!
Ready!
Heading for Laugh Tale!
"It's begun, everyone!"
At this moment, on Paradise Island, Elior addressed Kaido and the others.
Immediately afterward, Elior sensed Paradise Island and the surrounding ships.
Then, a power even greater than that of the Golden Lion was unleashed
The ability of the Float-Float Fruit was activated!
In the next instant, the massive Paradise Island and all the surrounding ships rose into the air, their altitude increasing rapidly!
It was not until they reached nearly a thousand meters above the sea that Paradise Island and nearly two hundred ships finally stopped ascending.
"The power of gods and demons!"
"A god…!"
Countless people stared up at the white figure in the sky.
That figure did not appear imposing, and to many, even seemed thin and frail.
Yet at this moment, in the eyes of countless onlookers, that figure was nothing less than a god!
"Here we go…"
Kaido muttered to himself as he looked up at Elior in the sky.
The same was true for Big Mom and the others.
At that moment, everyone saw Elior draw Yoru from ripples in the air.
Then, Elior gripped the blade with both hands.
Immediately afterward, a dark crimson aura enveloped the black blade, and his entire presence changed.
Mysterious.
Overwhelming.
At that moment, Elior stared straight ahead.
Then, he swung his blade.
A dark red slash tore forward, and in front of Elior, the void itself was ripped apart from top to bottom!
A terrifying, enormous crack appeared—
A crack in space itself!
It was as though a demon had opened its eye!
The crack continued to expand, eventually transforming into a massive, pitch-black vortex!
It hovered there, waiting for Paradise Island to arrive!
This was Elior's mastery of the spatial domain.
A space jump!
Leaping dozens of kilometers in an instant!
Elior had already informed Big Mom and the others in advance.
Yet even so, when they witnessed this scene with their own eyes, they could not help but feel utterly shaken!
Too shocking!
Big Mom and the others stared in disbelief.
Elior's strike had actually torn space itself apart!
If even monsters like Big Mom were stunned, ordinary people stood no chance of remaining calm.
Many were left speechless in shock.
But Elior ignored them.
He simply activated the power of the Float-Float Fruit again, accelerating Paradise Island.
Soon, Paradise Island and hundreds of ships entered the spatial vortex.
Then, the vortex vanished.
In the next moment, the vortex reappeared above a sea region dozens of kilometers away.
Paradise Island and the ships emerged from it.
Then, Elior struck again, creating another massive vortex!
Of course, Elior did not slash randomly.
Based on the four Road Poneglyphs, he already knew the general direction of Laugh Tale.
This cycle repeated again and again.
Three hours later, Elior and the others arrived in a pitch-black sea.
At this moment, the entire sea area was violently trembling. Above them, thick black clouds churned endlessly, while countless bolts of lightning, thicker than barrels, crashed down from the sky!
Boom—!
Thunder shook the heavens, mixed with the roar of the raging sea.
It was like the howling of gods and demons!
"We've arrived at the Whirlpool Sea! This is the Whirlpool Sea region!"
The one who spoke was Kaido.
And ahead of them lay the terrifying sea that even the Yonko were reluctant to set foot in!
