Chapter 405: Sengoku Beats Up a Meatball
The scent of blood and fire gradually dissipated over the Wano Country battlefield.
Marine soldiers were methodically clearing the area, transporting the wounded, and escorting the surviving prisoners.
The nation that had once been crushed under iron hooves finally welcomed a moment of peace.
Roy returned from the Flower Capital with Ace, Otama, Zoro, and Kuina, stepping back onto the scorched earth of the battlefield.
Issho and Enel were already waiting ahead, supervising the reorganization of the troops.
Roy swept his gaze around, confirming the situation was stable, before speaking flatly: "The Five Elders have joined the fray... I need to return to Marineford to handle it."
His gaze swept over the entire army. "Regroup our forces and set sail as soon as possible. As for the aftermath of Wano Country... do not interfere."
The moment these words fell, the atmosphere tightened slightly.
Issho stood leaning on his cane, his brow deeply furrowed: "Though Kaido has been executed, the citizens of Wano Country have suffered decades of hardship. If there is no one to guide them... I fear new chaos will arise."
Hearing this, Ace stepped forward. Flames flickered in his eyes, his voice passionate and firm:
"Yamato chose to stay behind and take charge! She's straightforward, has a fierce sense of justice, and her strength is more than enough to suppress any remaining rebel factions!"
"I believe in her—she will use her own way to protect Wano Country!"
Issho pondered for a moment and nodded.
Just now, he had indeed used his Observation Haki to sense Yamato's spirit—that blazing, passionate blood and pure desire to protect were entirely genuine.
A profound look flashed through Roy's eyes, but he said nothing more. He simply turned around and looked at Enel: "Enel, make a trip and fetch those two swords."
He casually described the shapes and characteristics of the Nidai Kitetsu and the Ame no Habakiri.
Enel raised an eyebrow, his tone lazy: "Hmph~ Just two mere swords... and you want this God to run an errand personally?"
"Big Brother Roy!"
Ace couldn't help but speak up, his face full of confusion. "If you knew where they were, why didn't you just grab them while we were at the Shogun's Palace?"
"THWACK!"
Roy backhanded Ace on the top of his head. The force of the blow instantly raised a massive, purple lump.
"OWWW—It hurts!" Ace cried out, clutching his head.
Roy's expression was indifferent as he said lightly, "Adult matters... kids shouldn't interrupt."
Otama covered her mouth, giggling secretly, while Zoro and Kuina couldn't help but twitch their lips.
Ace rubbed his head, his face full of grievance, but could only squat on the ground drawing circles in the dirt.
Seeing this, Enel let out a pfft of laughter. With a cold smirk, he transformed into a streak of lightning: "Give me one minute."
"RUMBLE—!!!"
Thunderclouds churned, tearing the firmament as his silhouette vanished over the horizon in an instant.
Roy looked at Issho: "I leave this place to you. I'm heading out first."
After Issho nodded, Roy's figure disappeared, leaving everyone with solemn expressions. Their minds were all dwelling on the same thought: The Five Elders actually entered the battlefield.
Marineford · Execution Plaza
In the center of the battlefield, the Buddha's light was like an ocean. The Giant Golden Buddha's thousand hands rained down like a violent storm!
Every single strike carried decades of suppressed fury, hammering the demonic Gyuki body until it retreated step by step!
"BANG! BANG! BANG—!!!"
The muffled sounds of the impacts shook the heavens, sounding exactly like someone tenderizing a stubborn meatball.
Nami, Sanji, Usopp, and the others who had retreated to the rear were completely dumbfounded, their jaws practically unhinged:
"That... that kind and gentle Fleet Admiral... he's actually this violent?!!"
Staff Officer Tsuru walked over slowly. There was a smile in the corners of her eyes, but her tone carried a hint of nostalgia: "Don't let his current gentle demeanor fool you..."
"In his youth, Sengoku was a monster who could go blow-for-blow with Whitebeard for three days and three nights straight."
The three of them looked as if they had been struck by lightning, their pupils trembling wildly: "The Fleet Admiral?! Going blow-for-blow with Whitebeard?!!"
On the battlefield, the Giant Buddha Sengoku's face was solemn and dignified, yet his glare was terrifying, his eyes boiling with battle intent!
His Buddha palm viciously slammed the demonic Gyuki shadow into a deep crater, the impact shattering the earth inch by inch.
Scales flew off Saint Saturn's bull head, and black blood flowed freely, yet he still stubbornly held on. He roared, his words dripping with stubborn arrogance: "It's useless!!! We are immortal... you are only wasting your breath!!!"
Sengoku abruptly pulled his fist back. The golden light on his right arm surged, and black-red Conqueror's Haki electrical arcs suddenly sparked from his Buddha palm!
He sneered, his voice as cold as ice: "Immortal? I know that."
Saint Saturn froze upon hearing this.
Sengoku's voice boomed like a grand bell: "I've been hammering you for this long simply because it's been a while since I've had a good punching bag to scratch this itch!"
"What level I'm at... surely you haven't forgotten, Saint Saturn!!!"
The bull head's pupils instantly shrank, terror immediately overwhelming its arrogance: Damn it... I actually forgot! This old bastard used to be a monster on the exact same level as Roger and Whitebeard!!!
The Buddha's light around Sengoku's entire body abruptly concentrated. Instead of scattering outward, it gathered frantically in his right palm like a vortex!
Golden and black-red electrical arcs intertwined. The space in the center of his palm distorted and collapsed, the air emitting an agonizing hum.
Within that massive Buddha palm, an unstable, destructive sphere of energy coalesced, looking as if a miniature star was being held by the Buddha!
Sengoku roared, his voice booming like a bell, accompanied by heavenly chants:
"—EVIL SHALL BE PURGED!!!"
"—DAIBUTSU (GIANT BUDDHA): HEAVEN-SHAKING IMPACT PALM!!!"
The giant golden palm thrust forward explosively!
The space along its path didn't just ripple—it shattered inch by inch like colored glass, revealing dark void fissures lined with black-red electrical arcs!
The shockwave separated from the Buddha palm, transforming into a destructive Buddha Seal with a golden exterior and a black core! The black-red energy formed the center, while the golden Buddha light formed the outer shell!
Shrieking lightning erupted continuously from within it, the sheer momentum utterly terrifying.
The mental pressure alone swept across the entire plaza. Anyone with a weak will within range instantly rolled their eyes back and collapsed trembling to the ground, feeling as if they were witnessing divine punishment!
"BONG—!!!"
First came the toll of a bell that shook the very soul, followed by the cascading explosions of countless spatial fractures: "CRACK—KABOOM!!!"
The Giant Buddha shockwave smashed brutally into Saint Saturn's demonic Gyuki body!
In that instant, white light erupted like a supernova. The golden-black sphere of light expanded violently, swallowing everything!
The earth churned like waves, and the sea flowed backward, only to be instantly vaporized by the subsequent energy blast!
"URGHAAAAAAH—!!!"
Saint Saturn let out a heart-rending scream. The scales, the six legs, and the bull head of the demonic Gyuki were pulverized inch by inch under the crushing weight of the Buddha palm. Black blood sprayed out like a waterfall!
As the light gradually dissipated, a massive crater in the shape of a palm print appeared on the earth. Everything within its range had been reduced to fine dust. The edges glowed crimson like magma, sparking with black-red electrical arcs.
The Golden Buddha Sengoku stood tall and immovable. The Buddha's light slowly receded, but the residual might of a conqueror lingered long in the air.
Within the palm-print crater, the dust and smoke gradually cleared. Saint Saturn had lost his demonic Gyuki form, reverting pathetically back to his human shape.
The once-majestic and inviolable Five Elder was now a mangled mess of flesh and blood. His limbs were broken, his shattered bones exposed. He struggled in agony, but his body was completely unable to regenerate!
"Urgh... no... impossible... how could we...?"
Black blood continuously poured from the corner of his mouth. His voice was hoarse and broken, carrying unprecedented terror and agony.
The "God" who once stood high above the world could now only wail and murmur like a dying mortal, crushed under the residual might of the Buddha's palm.
Before Roy had even arrived, Sengoku alone had beaten a Five Elder so badly that he couldn't even maintain his "immortality"!
The entire Marineford battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
