"The Void Century… the Clan of D… Ancient Weapons?!"
When these three terms, regarded by the World Government as the greatest taboos, were clearly conveyed through the light curtain via flashback narration or implied visuals…
The Five Elders' Saint Saturn—or rather, Imu observing through his perspective—could finally no longer maintain his composure!
"Shut up?!"
A low roar suppressing extreme rage erupted from Saint Saturn's throat. The aura around him instantly became incomparably terrifying. No longer caring about anything else, he abruptly raised his cane!
A dark red energy shockwave brimming with destructive power shot fiercely toward the light curtain!
However, this attack—capable of easily destroying a warship—sank into the sea like the previous slash from Saint Garling, having no effect!
It pierced straight through the light curtain without causing the slightest damage!
Veins bulged on Saint Saturn's (Imu's) forehead. His originally dignified face twisted from extreme fury, his eyes filled with icy killing intent!
In this moment, he seemed to transform from a lofty god into a demon whose reverse scale had been touched!
But no matter how enraged he became, the light curtain continued to play its footage unaffected.
When the Roger Pirates arrived at Laugh Tale, they indeed discovered a "super great treasure."
However, when the visuals revealed the true nature of that "treasure" (the light curtain did not show it directly but implied it through the reactions of the Roger Pirates' members)…
Roger laughed. Not just him—behind him, Rayleigh, Scopper Gaban, and all the crew members who reached the final island burst into uncontrollable laughter!
They laughed so hard they bent over backward, tears streaming down their faces, as if they had witnessed the most absurd, most amusing, and most poignant thing in the world…
Their laughter was filled with endless sighs, relief, and some indescribable… anticipation.
"Joy Boy…!"
In the scene, Roger looked up at some existence and let out a sigh full of regret yet immense exhilaration.
"I really wish… I really wish I had been born in the same era as you!!"
When the name "Joy Boy" was clearly spoken from Roger's mouth, the last thread of reason in Saint Saturn's (Imu's) heart completely snapped!
"Shut up!!! Don't say another word!"
Saint Saturn unleashed a roar that no longer sounded human. In the horrified gazes of everyone, his body underwent a terrifying transformation!
His skin turned dark red, his body swelled, his head distorted, turning into a massive monstrous form with horns on its head, resembling an ox-demon devil.
This was the terrifying true form of the Five Elders that no one knew about!
In his second form, Saint Saturn, carrying overwhelming killing intent and destructive aura, launched frenzied thrusting attacks toward the light curtain as if teleporting!
He absolutely would not allow the buried taboo name to echo through the world again!
Seeing Saint Saturn lose composure to this extent—even revealing a non-human monstrous form—the Celestial Dragons and all the Marines were shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
Although they were also Celestial Dragons, they seemed not to fully understand the hidden truth of the Five Elders.
However, there was one person on the scene who, upon hearing the name "Joy Boy," showed an extremely strange expression unlike everyone else's!
His gaze was sharp, his face grave as he stared fixedly at the light curtain.
This person was none other than Rocks!
Others might not know what "Joy Boy" meant.
But he clearly knew some inside information!
Saint Saturn's frenzied attacks remained futile, unable to shake the light curtain in the slightest.
In a fit of rage and complete loss of reason, he suddenly turned his scarlet gaze filled with endless killing intent toward everyone in God Valley!
Since he couldn't destroy the light curtain, he would kill all these ants who had heard the taboos!
However, at the very instant his terrifying killing intent locked onto the crowd…
"BOOM!!!"
A vast pressure ten times, a hundred times stronger than when he suppressed Saint Garling earlier descended like the entire sky collapsing!
It came crashing down from the light curtain, precisely enveloping the monstrous form of Saint Saturn!
"Ugh aaaah!!"
In the face of this absolute, rule-enforcing power, even the Five Elder in his true form was like fragile dregs. He couldn't resist for even a second. That massive demonic body was brutally pressed flat to the ground…
The hard ground instantly cracked into huge spiderweb patterns! His entire body trembled violently…
Dark red blood continuously sprayed from his mouth, his roars becoming intermittent, filled with pain and unwillingness!
The light curtain remained quietly suspended, emitting a gentle yet unquestionable glow, as if silently declaring: Here, its rules reign above all!
