The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.
Chapter 1703 The Battle of Sabaody Archipelago Ends
The residual light from the Kamehameha left a long, pure white trail in the air, like a shooting star shooting in reverse, traversing the night sky over the Sabaody Archipelago.
The impact stretched from the spine of the Founding Titan all the way to the rocky cliffs of the distant Red Line, covering a terrifying distance of tens of kilometers!
The solid rock formations of the Red Earth continent, known as the continental shelf, have been sculpted into a terrifying, bottomless chasm with melted edges.
This undeniably devastating blow seemed to bring a powerful and awe-inspiring end to the battle that had raged all night.
On the battlefield, the three surviving Five Elders—Feng Xi, Sha Chong, and Yi Jin Zhen Tian—who remained in their complete forms, had already ceased all attacks.
They simply gazed from afar, filled with indescribable awe, up at the white figure in the night sky, its body shrouded in white steam, with a cloud of flames slowly dancing behind it.
Using his Flying Technique, Luffy hovered quietly at the highest point of the night sky, the moonlight gilding him with a silver edge.
At this moment, in the eyes of the surviving Celestial Dragons' highest authority, he was like a white war god descended to earth, radiating an aura that made it impossible for anyone to even think of resisting.
Without any communication, the three elders, Feng Xi, Sha Chong, and Itsumade, almost simultaneously and tacitly abandoned their battle with the ancient giants.
He quickly retreated, using the Six Styles to stomp on the air, swiftly detaching himself from the Founding Titan's back, and fled hastily towards the Red Line.
First, these three Elders did not die. Second, they did not even regain their human form and still retained their demonic appearance.
Those who were smart enough to know the answer probably guessed that Im had likely survived the direct impact of that earth-shattering energy wave.
But this does not diminish Luffy's glory in this battle at all!
"Ha ha……"
In the night sky, the white steam emanating from Luffy's body was rapidly dissipating and becoming thinner.
His chest heaved violently, and his signature, seemingly ever-energetic smile was replaced by exhaustion. This time, his body was simply too worn out.
Under normal circumstances, with his current cultivation level and control over ki, he would absolutely not be able to use the Kamehameha, a top-level technique that compresses ki to the extreme before releasing it.
This devastating blow nearly drained all his strength and domineering aura.
Under the night sky, which had fallen into a brief silence due to victory, Luffy took a deep breath, suddenly raised his head, and with his last bit of strength, looked towards the distant direction of Marineford.
He let out a roar that shook the night sky, filled with resentment and determination: "Ace—!!!"
"I'm coming to save you—!!!"
The boy's roar was like the howl of a wounded lion cub, or the clarion call of an indomitable declaration.
Not only could the surviving allies on the back of the Founding Titan hear it clearly, but even the terrified natives and pirates on the Sabaody Archipelago, a thousand meters below, could clearly hear the name Ace echoing in the night sky.
Let's rewind a few minutes.
When Luffy began to compress the white energy blast in his hand, the first to notice something was wrong was Sani, whose senses were the most acute.
“This kid’s aura is undergoing some kind of qualitative change,” Sani frowned, his extraordinary senses allowing him to clearly perceive the dramatic transformation of the energy within Luffy’s body high in the sky.
From massive to loose, it is being forcibly compressed and purified to a terrifying density.
"Watch out, everyone! Prepare for the impact! He's about to unleash something incredible!" Sani immediately warned Atomic Samurai and Juvia beside him.
Luffy's furious roar that tore through the sky had already arrived, followed closely by a dazzling white light that devoured all colors and made the world lose its luster.
Even though the Sabaody Archipelago, located a thousand meters below the surface, was not directly in the center of that devastating white light, all the ordinary people who witnessed this scene still felt the terror of that light.
Most people instinctively and painfully close their eyes the moment the white light flashes, and tears well up uncontrollably.
Only a very few truly powerful individuals, with their extraordinary strength or special abilities, could barely witness the entire process of the Kamehameha attacking Im.
Juvia reacted extremely quickly. The instant the white light appeared, she waved her hand lightly, and two thin but tough water films covered her own eyes and her companion's eyes, effectively blocking the direct stimulation of the strong light on the retinas.
Thanks to the filtration and buffering effect of this water film, they were able to roughly see the process of Im's disappearance.
"So gas can be compressed to this extent..." Atomic Samurai's expression was extremely solemn.
"This kid is definitely not a self-taught individual. His understanding of qi is already at the master level."
Even the most talented young boy, without sufficient vision and experience, could never have such a systematic and profound understanding of Qi.
Behind every straw hat boy, there must be an extraordinary teacher.
"Im is truly terrifyingly powerful." A fine bead of sweat appeared on Juvia's beautiful face.
"Faced with such a terrifying move, they were merely sent flying..."
As a Logia-type Liquid Fruit user, she understands better than anyone the power that can be unleashed when energy is compressed to its limit.
Luffy's way of using ki instilled in her a deep-seated fear.
She had no doubt that if she were in Im's position, her body would be completely vaporized the moment she was hit by that energy wave, without even a chance to be reassembled into elements.
Im did not perish together with Harald; the Giant King's body shattered first under the impact of the energy wave.
Im seemed to be relying entirely on his own strength to withstand the impact of the energy wave, his body initially resisting for a while.
However, it's possible that Satan Saint's physical body was too weak to withstand Im's full power output, and he disintegrated under the continuous bombardment of the energy wave.
The tattered bodies of Nassuro Saint and Satan Saint were pushed far away by the white energy wave, heading straight into the depths of the Red Earth Continent.
Sani withdrew his gaze and looked at the two temporary allies beside him, his tone regaining a hint of ease: "In any case, it seems that the crisis in the Sabaody Archipelago has been resolved, which saves us the trouble of taking action."
The towering, mountain-like primordial giant on the sea surface suddenly experienced a slight tremor.
Sani, Atomic Samurai, Juvia, and other powerful individuals with keen senses all looked up and turned their gazes toward the towering skeletal giant.
Fine cracks began to appear on the body of the progenitor giant, which was composed of countless pale, giant bones.
The damage was not caused by the battle, but rather spiderweb-like cracks that spontaneously spread from within the bones and joints.
Wisps of white steam began to rise from these cracks, initially thin but quickly growing thicker, like water boiling inside a giant's body.
As steam continued to escape, the Founding Titan's enormous, suffocating body began to shrink at a visible rate.
"Did you actively deactivate the ability?"
It seems that the man named Allen has also reached his limit, or perhaps he believes the battle is over.
Whatever the reason, the disappearance of the Founding Titan symbolizes the end of this sudden and earth-shattering battle that swept across the Sabaody Archipelago.
Although Im may not be dead and three of the Five Elders escaped, the victory was still unprecedented in terms of defeating Im.
Tonight, on the broadcast screens all over the world, we see Straw Hat Luffy, who fought a bloody battle with the Five Elders and finally delivered that earth-shattering blow, along with all the pirates who participated in this battle.
Once the Navy Headquarters extricates itself from the quagmire of the Marineford War, their bounties will likely experience an unprecedented surge.
