The Marines nervously carried the supplies to Luo Chen.
Even with Admiral Akainu and a Gorosei present, they still couldn't overcome their fear of Luo Chen.
After all, the man before them had captured two Marine Admirals.
His summoned meteorite had sunk the Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Fortunately, Luo Chen showed no intention of attacking them.
As soon as the supplies were set down, a spatial vortex would cover them, and one by one, the chests of treasure vanished.
Luo Chen's clone received the 100 billion Berries, the Supreme Grade Sword, and the ten Devil Fruits, storing them all in the Kamui dimension.
Before releasing Aokiji and Kizaru, he hesitated.
'Should I kill these two?'
'Probably not enough time...' Luo Chen's clone mused.
Akainu and Gorosei Saint Saturn were very close to him, only a dozen meters away. For powerhouses of their level, that distance could be crossed in an instant.
Any attempt to kill Aokiji and Kizaru would certainly be blocked.
Besides, he knew his main body had thoughts of recruiting them.
In the original story, Aokiji joined the Blackbeard Pirates after losing the election for Fleet Admiral. If he could join Blackbeard, joining him shouldn't be a problem.
As for Kizaru, he was a man who knew which way the wind blew and understood the times. If the World Government and the Marines showed obvious signs of decline, and he extended an olive branch, the probability of him accepting was not low.
'Killing them might not be possible. Better to use them to distract the enemy and take out that CP0 agent.'
Luo Chen's clone made his decision.
Meeting the intense stares of Saint Saturn and Akainu, he grabbed Aokiji and Kizaru.
He forcefully threw them.
The direction was precisely where Gorosei Saint Saturn and the white-suited CP0 man behind him were.
The instant the two Marine Admirals were free of Luo Chen...
Akainu, Saint Saturn, and the white-suited CP0 man all moved.
Akainu's figure shot forward, his right fist turning to magma, a red dog's head lunging to kill.
Five magic circles appeared on the ground around Saint Saturn. Four were slightly smaller, one was larger.
The white-suited CP0 man clapped his hands forward, and space rippled, layer upon layer.
Luo Chen's clone's eyes were cold. Before the white-suited man's space ability could solidify, he activated the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
The Flying Thunder God marks had been placed on Aokiji and Kizaru.
At that moment, the two Admirals were flying towards Gorosei Saint Saturn and the white-suited CP0 man, respectively.
Luo Chen's clone vanished from his spot.
Almost at the same instant, he appeared near the white-suited man, right next to Kizaru.
The sudden attack made the three enemies' expressions change slightly.
Observation Killing had shielded their senses, and it was paired with extremely fast teleportation.
Luo Chen was simply the most terrifying assassin in the world.
A pitch-black wood blade appeared in the clone's hand, wreathed in black and red lightning.
"That's God's Avoidance!"
In the distance, Rayleigh recognized the sword technique at a glance.
He had vaguely seen it during the Marineford war broadcast but hadn't been certain.
After all, that move was created by Roger.
He had only taught it to Shanks.
Rayleigh was extremely confused as to how Luo Chen knew it.
He gave a bitter smile internally. 'This kid couldn't have some connection to Roger, could he?'
'Their names both have "Ro".'
'If he's another of Roger's children, living under a hidden name, then I really can't avenge Hatchan.'
'He doesn't look like him.' Rayleigh secretly shook his head.
He was probably overthinking.
But if he got the chance, he still had to ask.
In the battlefield, Saint Saturn's red, malevolent eyes fell on Luo Chen. He hoped to use his suppression ability to slow Luo Chen's movements for an instant.
But he was too late.
This strike from Luo Chen's clone, before Saturn's suppression ability could arrive, landed on the white-suited man.
Even though the man raised his arms, wrapped in Armament Haki, to block, he couldn't completely deflect the power of God's Avoidance.
When Admiral Aokiji had blocked this move, his left arm had almost been severed.
The CP0 man's strength was clearly less than Aokiji's. His left forearm, which was at the front of his block, was severed at the elbow.
A clear sound of breaking bones came from his right arm.
Blood splashed into the air from his chest as his body was sent flying like a broken kite, crashing into the distance.
He destroyed several houses a hundred meters away, his momentum not slowing, and finally stopped when he slammed into the thick trunk of the No. 1 Yarukiman Mangrove in the distance.
The white-suited man slid down the thick trunk like a sticker that had lost its grip, leaving a trail of blood.
He fell to the ground, clutching his profusely bleeding chest, his expression pained.
Saint Saturn and Akainu looked furious.
They hadn't expected Luo Chen to be so decisive, taking the initiative to attack them.
It seemed he had long anticipated their ambush and decided to strike first.
Vice Admiral Doberman rushed to Aokiji and Kizaru and removed their Seastone cuffs.
Luo Chen's clone's gaze swept past everyone, finally focusing on Gorosei Saint Saturn.
His left eye rippled.
A twisting spatial vortex enveloped Gorosei Saint Saturn's head.
"Pfft!"
Saturn's entire head exploded into a spray of blood.
Kid, Law, Bonney, and the Straw Hats were all aghast.
'Luo Chen one-shotted a Gorosei with a look?'
The next moment, black energy surged from Gorosei Saint Saturn's body, and in an instant, he transformed into a giant, headless monster.
His lower body was six massive, dark-purple spider legs.
His already burly frame became even larger and more grotesque.
Flesh and blood rapidly regenerated from his severed neck. In the blink of an eye, a humanoid head with ox horns formed.
The overall shape resembled the yokai Ushi-Oni, with black, flaming clouds wrapped around its body, very similar to the awakened form of a Zoan Devil Fruit.
Luffy's eyes went wide. "He revived?!"
As Saint Saturn transformed into his hybrid form, his severed head had healed instantly.
His aura was even stronger than before.
The other Supernovas were also in shock.
'This is a Gorosei?'
'He can regenerate even if his head is destroyed... Is he immortal?'
Rayleigh's expression was grave. His gaze swept over Saint Saturn and the five magic circles, and he said in a low voice:
"Later, when all the enemies are surrounding Luo Chen, run immediately."
"This is not a place you can stay."
His words were directed at Luffy, Kid, Law, Bonney, and all the other young pirates.
These people didn't even have the right to watch the battle that was to come.
Even Rayleigh himself was preparing to retreat.
In his youth, he could have fought these powerful enemies.
But now, he was old.
As Saint Saturn was transforming, Luo Chen's clone was also moving.
He didn't attack Saturn or Akainu.
The former, although not as strong as Akainu, possessed immortality.
Luo Chen currently had no way to counter the immortality of the God's Knights and the Gorosei. He would need to learn new skills from the system later.
Therefore, the clone's target was still the white-suited CP0 man.
He had already determined that this man's ability was "space-locking."
It had a countering effect on his own Kamui and Flying Thunder God.
If he couldn't kill this man today, his main body's Kamui and Flying Thunder God would be severely limited when facing the World Government's top enemies in the future.
For his main body, this was definitely not good news.
