The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Now that the window for negotiation has been completely closed, Im's last bit of patience with the Straw Hat Boy, which stemmed from Joy Boy, has also vanished.

So what if it's just a remnant of Joy Boy's soul? Could it possibly be stronger than Rocks back then?

Even a powerful figure like Rocks was defeated by Im and ultimately met a miserable end.

Monkey D. Luffy is just a young man who is not even twenty years old. Even if he is a genius with great talent, so what?

A genius who opposes the World Government must be nipped in the bud; a genius who dies before he can grow up is not a genius at all.

The voice delivered the final verdict in a cold tone, "Kill them, and take their bodies back to the flower garden as nourishment."

"I'm very curious about what kind of flowers will bloom on Nika's corpse..."

The four Elders standing on either side of the ribs had all their last lingering concerns vanished after receiving Lord Im's precise instructions.

Since no prisoners are needed, then they can go all out and fight without holding back! They've been waiting for this for a long time.

There was no need to negotiate with these rebellious, arrogant pirates.

Only by taking away their bodies and using the most brutal facts can we deter those restless heroes and ensure that the World Government's rule continues to stand firm.

This also made those member states that were complacent and opportunistic clearly realize that the world government is far from collapsing.

The four elders once again unleashed their Conqueror's Haki, each different in nature yet equally terrifying.

Almost simultaneously, their forms expanded violently again, transforming from the image of elderly humans into four monsters exuding an ominous aura.

As the one with the strongest flight ability and the highest maneuverability, Itsumade suddenly flapped her giant wings, which were burning with inextinguishable flames.

The next moment, its figure was like a crimson meteor streaking across the night sky, soaring straight into the clouds and swirling high in the sky.

Transforming into a dazzling and dangerous flame, it surveys its prey below, awaiting the perfect moment to strike.

Standing in the very center, the largest and most ferocious of all, Feng Xi lowered its menacing head and began to take a deep breath.

Its enormous chest and abdomen swelled up at a visible speed, accumulating destructive power, clearly preparing to unleash a wide-range sonic attack once again.

The half-human, half-horse form of Nasujuro Sei—the horse skeleton—is the most agile and bizarre.

It leaps back and forth between towering, white forest-like ribs with a speed and posture that defies the laws of physics.

Each step was precise and light, constantly closing the distance between him and the four pirates.

Its dominant hand was always attached to the first generation Kitetsu sword at its waist, which exuded a sinister and ghostly aura. Being so close to a top-tier swordsman meant that anyone's life was about to end.

As for the massive, mountain-like sandworms, they were indeed severely restricted in this environment composed entirely of bones.

Without soil, it cannot burrow underground, and most of its abilities cannot be fully utilized.

However, this does not mean it is useless.

The sand worm slowly opened its enormous mouth, which resembled the entrance to an abyss, with a dense ring of sharp teeth around its lips.

A powerful gust of air, carrying a foul stench, violently spewed from its massive maw. This was not an attack, but a targeted, irresistibly powerful suction.

This suction force acted like an invisible shackle, firmly locking onto the four pirates in front of them.

"Again!!"

Luffy and the others suddenly felt their feet become unstable, and their bodies were involuntarily dragged forward. The terrifying suction force was even more ferocious than before.

The sand worm's enormous mouth was like a true abyss capable of swallowing everything, exuding an aura of despair. If one were sucked in, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Grab him!" Luffy roared, stretching out his rubber arm and grabbing Hawkins, the lightest of the group, who was already starting to float.

Of the four, this fortune teller is the weakest in terms of physical strength and domineering aura; he probably couldn't even withstand a single direct attack from the Five Elders.

Hawkins' face was deathly pale. He could only place his last hope on the white-clad Luffy before him, his voice trembling with fear: "Think of something, they're about to charge..."

He didn't even have the confidence to face the Five Elders' attack head-on. Even if Im stood at the back and didn't make a move, those four Five Elders alone would be enough to put the four pirates in a deadly situation one-on-one.

Kid gritted his teeth and endured the suction force, while pushing his Magnet-Magnet Fruit ability to its limit, his magnetic perception extending wildly into the sea below.

He began frantically extracting metallic minerals from the seabed; he needed more metal to create more weapons.

This battlefield, composed entirely of bones, is utterly unsuitable for a prolonged battle for someone like him who relies on metal for combat.

Capone Becky, who was lying on the metal frisbee that Kidd had made for him and barely managing to keep his balance, was thinking of a countermeasure at lightning speed.

His telepathic abilities allow him to launch a surprise attack, and he's considering risking invading the mind of one of the Five Elders.

Of course, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he would never dare to invade. At this moment, the head of Satan Saint, which was occupied by Im, would be tantamount to suicide. He did not want to suffer the consequences of such a terrifying backlash.

At this critical moment, Itsumade, hovering high in the sky, launched its attack!

"Screech—!" A sharp cry rang out, and countless burning fire feathers, like a devastating rain of fire, poured down from the sky.

These fire feathers were not only incredibly powerful, but they also precisely blocked all possible escape routes for Luffy and his crew. Clearly, this time, the Five Elders were determined to destroy them completely, giving them no chance to breathe.

Just as the four old men were about to complete their encirclement and launch a fatal combined attack—

"Grumble... cluck cluck..."

A strange sound of bones growing came clearly from beneath everyone's feet and from the pale skeletons all around them.

On the exposed, massive ribs of the Founding Titan, white lines began to appear, growing thicker as they went.

These white lines extend as if they were alive, and their ends expand rapidly, just like fruits growing on plants.

The fruit grew larger and larger, and soon a distinct human-shaped outline became visible. Then the outline became clearer and clearer, and muscles and bones were quickly reproduced.

In the end, they all transformed into white giants, each nearly seventy meters tall and with a robust physique.

These giants were all different in appearance, clothing, and weapons.

Some were clad in heavy armor and wielded giant axes; others were bare-chested, covered in battle tattoos, and gripped spiked clubs; still others wore horned helmets and carried massive swords as large as doors…

Their expressions differed, but they had one thing in common: a burning fighting spirit in their eyes that seemed to have transcended endless years.

Almost instantly, the giants that emerged from those white lines multiplied from one or two to ten or a hundred.

They densely occupied the area where Luffy and his crew were, protecting the four pirates in the center.

The moment they appeared, all the giants unanimously turned their hostile gazes toward the Five Elders in front of them.

They raised their various heavy weapons, their throats emitting deep, thunderous battle roars, preparing to launch an attack.

It's Allen!

At this critical moment, the long-dormant Founding Titan, Eren Yeager, finally unleashed the power of the Founding Titan, joining the battle in a breathtaking way to help them.

"Wow!" Luffy's eyes lit up when he saw this amazing scene, and he kept whistling.

"Eren, you're amazing! You can actually conjure Titans?!"

Naïve as he was, he simply thought it was amazing and expressed his most direct feeling.

But as Kidd looked at these giants, whose appearances, expressions, and equipment were all different, yet all exuded an ancient aura, a storm raged in his heart.

These giants were clearly controlled by the Founding Titan, but if the goal was simply to create puppets, why not just create an identical, more easily controlled Titan army?

Why go to such lengths to present these distinct individual differences and characteristics?

There is only one answer: these giants are not purely creations; their appearance and posture likely originated from some real, living individuals.

and many more……

A thunderbolt seemed to flash through Kidd's mind, and he suddenly remembered a legend that circulated among the giants and was almost regarded as a myth!

Is it...

Could these giants standing beside them, glaring at the Five Elders, be the legendary Great Hammer Legion, which once dominated the seas but later mysteriously disappeared?
