Chapter 417: Are You Going to Make an Enemy of the World?
The Five Elders naturally could never have imagined.
The savior they thought of, the only person they could currently count on, had indeed arrived at Mary Geoise.
But obviously, he was not a friendly guest.
Quite the opposite...
"The defensive structures have all been..."
"How is that possible!?"
Just as mentioned before—Mary Geoise's defensive structures built over this period were almost complete, making it extremely difficult to breach from the outside.
But clearly, the current situation was not from the "outside."
Roy, as their invited guest, naturally had the authority to enter.
"Communications with other parts of the Red Line are also cut off... Is it the Star Hunting Force?"
Up to this moment, the Five Elders had naturally guessed the truth.
I am afraid the Star Hunting Force was never a target they could "win over" from the very beginning.
This was not a whimsical accident, but a truly malicious "attack."
"Roy Amos!"
"You bastard—are you going to make an enemy of the world?"
Thus, at this time, the Five Elders issued an angry inquiry—that roar spread from the Room of Authority, reaching the entire Holy Land.
And at this moment, those Celestial Dragons within the Holy Land, who were originally so terrified they had slumped to the ground, seemed to all awaken at once.
"Roy?"
"I... I think I've heard this name before. Is it the Marines'... no, the Star Hunting Force's 'Black'?"
"To actually dare attack the Holy Land, does he have a death wish?"
"Traitor, burn him! He must be burned to death!"
The World Nobles, as always, vented their noble anger.
However, facing the questioning of the World Nobles.
The man in the sky above no longer yielded or avoided the topic like a Marine.
He simply, in front of everyone, unscrupulously tossed his coat back.
He turned around and grinned.
"Make an enemy of the world?"
He seemed to be sneering.
And the Five Elders' faces instantly flushed red—because after their brief anger, they also realized it.
The so-called "world" seemed to pose absolutely no threat to the current Roy.
Quite the opposite, wasn't it precisely because the current World Government needed his power that led to the present situation?
"You seem to have misunderstood something."
And following his words, all the World Nobles present also saw in unison.
From Roy's body, light flickered.
That was not the radiance of the sun or moon, nor was it Haki or a devil fruit ability.
It was wisps of magnificent, dream-like starlight.
It flickered and appeared from the skylight, as if coming from beyond the world.
And from within that starlight.
An illusory door opened out of thin air.
From the other side of the door.
The World Nobles could see the boundless sea, could see battleships, could see countless warriors holding weapons with murderous auras.
The Giant race, the Fish-Man race, the Longarm race, the Dwarf race, Humans...
And at their very front.
The Ark of Salvation radiating starlight, that massive ship named "Aster", was navigating in front, about to pass through the door.
But before the Aster.
There were already figures crossing through the door.
They stepped out one by one, standing right behind Roy.
Thus, the scene fell dead silent.
On today's sea, perhaps some people didn't know who their king was, but absolutely everyone recognized those twelve individuals.
"The Twelve... Zodiacs..."
Yes.
Those figures wearing sea beast masks were exactly the twelve supreme executives of The Zodiac.
But right now, they just stood behind Roy, silent, as if they were his shadows.
This posture made the Five Elders almost speechless.
Because to this day, who didn't know—the supreme executives of The Zodiac were equal to one another and incredibly mysterious.
A situation that could make them stand behind someone in such a posture, there was almost certainly only one.
That was "that existence."
"You... you..."
But right now, even the boldest person naturally couldn't imagine that unbelievable guess.
However, Roy just smiled calmly.
He slowly raised his hand.
From his hand, a sea beast mask was slowly manifesting.
That was a mask with flowing starlight.
Roy gently placed it on his forehead.
Thus at this moment, that truly unbelievable truth, which no one could even imagine, was laid bare in front of everyone.
The new generation legend of the Marines.
The most dangerous criminal on the sea.
The Star Lord.
Black.
The two, from the very beginning, were the exact same person.
His name was... Roy Amos.
"I have long since made an enemy of the world."
Roy calmly declared that fact.
"..."
"..."
And at this moment, when the World Nobles below were still immersed in absolute horror and unable to respond.
Roy just raised his hand again.
Thus, people saw.
From behind Roy.
The twelve supreme executives of The Zodiac simultaneously made the exact same movement.
They slowly took off their masks, also lifting them to their foreheads.
This allowed their faces to be revealed.
And without exception...
Beneath every single one of their masks, was Roy's face.
"Let me introduce myself again."
They spoke in unison, and then stepped to Roy's side simultaneously.
"I am the 'Star Lord'."
"I am 'Black'."
"I am also 'The Zodiac'."
"..."
He calmly stated the greatest miraculous performance since the birth of this world.
And announced the ending of that stage.
"I am the 'Descender' who will overthrow you and overturn the old world."
"I am the 'Creator' who will change everyone and establish the new world."
"..."
Roy looked at the fiercely burning flames within Pangu Castle below, looked at those so-called World Nobles, yet his words were unexpectedly calm.
He remembered many things.
Including everything he saw when he came to this world, everything he experienced after becoming a Marine.
Those ugly, sad, and helpless things.
Just as he had previously told Smoker—he found this world very displeasing, and had for a long time.
And now, he had finally arrived here.
Arrived before the true poisonous ulcer of this world, and was going to completely eradicate it.
He finally no longer needed to hide his purpose, no longer needed to hide his ambition.
"I came here precisely to destroy you."
He said so, and then slowly raised his head.
Formless Lineage Factor Source Energy surged with a boom, as he looked towards the deepest part of Pangu Castle.
He knew the other party was right there.
"Imu... stop hiding, come out!"
His words fell.
Thus the next moment, from the depths of Pangu Castle.
"Ah..."
Pitch-black power spread, and a response came.
"Mu has never hidden."
"Enemy of God."
