Bab 219: Chapter 219: Surprise Attack on Holy Land?
"Hmph... Steel Tide!!"
Within an area spanning over ten meters, the ground transformed visibly into solid steel at an astonishing rate. Sharp, massive spears of steel erupted continuously, thrusting upward.
"Iron Body: Steel!"
A CP0 elite agent, caught in the onslaught with no escape, quickly hardened his entire body using Haki and the Iron Body technique.
"Tsk... Tsk..."
"Arghhh!!"
Even with his best efforts, the relentless steel spears penetrated his defenses, leaving him screaming in agony, blood pouring from his wounds.
"Inferno Cannon!!"
Nearby, amidst a cloud of smoke and fire, a Queen-class Six-Winged Fallen Angel Homie extended its arm cannons, launching a torrent of flames at its target.
"Whoosh... Whoosh..."
The fire blazed brightly, distorting the air with intense heat, but the member of the Holy Knights dodged the attack with ease.
"Clang... Clang..."
With a swift motion of his blade, he deflected the hail of bullets fired by the Homie.
"Endless distractions... Enough!"
His gaze turned cold as he stomped the ground and charged forward with blinding speed.
The Six-Winged Fallen Angel Homie reacted quickly, retreating to maintain distance. Two Four-Winged Fallen Angel Homies, equally formidable and comparable to Vice Admirals in strength, surged forward to provide support.
"Tsk!"
But it wasn't enough.
In a flash of light, the Holy Knight's blade struck with precision, severing the arm of one of the Four-Winged Fallen Angels despite its evasive maneuvers.
"Boom!!"
The severed arm, equipped with explosives, detonated upon activation. The resulting explosion blanketed the area in thick smoke.
"Ittōryū: Cutting the Stream!"
Undeterred, the Holy Knight charged through the smoke. With his glowing sword, he slashed effortlessly through the remaining Four-Winged Fallen Angels, reducing them to mere scraps.
"Clang!!"
The pursuing slash was finally intercepted by a powerful, Haki-clad iron fist.
"Ryan-sama, this opponent is too strong—I can't handle him!"
The heavily damaged Six-Winged Fallen Angel, one of the weakest members of the Seven Deadly Sins, retreated to Ryan's side for assistance.
"Hmm, looks like a formidable enemy indeed."
Without hesitation, Ryan summoned an array of steel spears from the transformed ground, utilizing the awakened steel-manipulating powers of Blood Slave Tok.
"Swish... Swish..."
Thousands of steel spears, infused with Haki, shot forward relentlessly, assaulting the Holy Knight.
"Futile."
The Knight sneered, exuding confidence.
"I am a Cut-Cut Fruit user. In my presence, everything is as fragile as paper!"
With a flourish of his ornate blade, he slashed through the oncoming steel spears as if they were nothing. Not only did his ability provide a clear advantage, but the disparity in their Haki was undeniable.
"Munch Factory: Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher!"
As Ryan retreated to create distance, his Munch-Munch Fruit powers merged with Blood Thrall "Iron Arm" Tokna, and he sneered menacingly. From the "gateway" of the Munch Factory located on his abdomen, rows of dark cannon barrels emerged, locking onto his target ahead.
A barrage of rocket projectiles spewed flames as they launched forth.
"Tsk... Tsk..."
"Boom! Boom!"
Explosions echoed continuously, flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed. The Holy Knight, scorched and battered, glared furiously at Ryan, his gaze brimming with killing intent.
"Tsk..."
Suddenly, the sound of something cutting through the air came from above. A bloodied figure was hurled into view.
"That's... Horn?"
The Holy Knight's eyes widened in shock, his expression changing drastically. He could hardly believe it—Admiral Pegasus Horn had been defeated so easily.
"Flap... Flap..."
"Clang!"
Sparks flew as Irene soared forward, blocking the killing blow from Saint Nasujuro, who wielded the icy First Generation Kitetsu. Her blood-red scythe, imbued with Haki, deflected the attack as she cast a glance toward the battlefield littered with the shattered remains of advanced Homies.
At least two Queen-Class Homies and over ten Rook-Class Fallen Angel Homies had been destroyed by the powerful Five Elder. The battlefield was strewn with fragments of machinery, frozen into icy sculptures that emanated an eerie chill.
"So while I was busy with Horn, you managed to eliminate this many Homies?"
With her bloodthirsty grin and predatory aura, Irene licked her lips. Locking eyes with Saint Nasujuro, who emanated dark flames and whose lower body resembled a skeletal horse, she taunted:
"Heh heh heh... I wonder how the blood of a Five Elder tastes compared to ordinary humans!"
"Insolent!!"
Saint Nasujuro's gaze turned icy, his killing intent surging.
The Homies, forged from countless souls stolen from the sixth level of Impel Down, were products of Fallen Angel technology and dark sorcery. But he didn't expect that useless Saint Horn to be defeated so easily.
"Heh, Admiral Pegasus Mayne?"
Ryan, amused, joined the exchange, recognizing the bloodied figure thrown to the ground. He broke into a mocking laugh.
In the face of the Holy Knights' and Saint Nasujuro's combined fury, he grinned wide, revealing sharp teeth:
"The Mythical Zoan Pegasus Fruit, huh? With his death, doesn't that mean two admirals have fallen to the Fallen Angel Pirates now?"
…
"Boom! Boom!"
On the western shore, intense clashes erupted.
Blinding light collided with razor-sharp fang blades as the Fengxi roared, charging recklessly toward the imposing Quetzalcoatl, meeting head-on.
"Boom!!!"
Their colossal heads, harder than steel, collided with earth-shaking force.
"Crack... Crack..."
The skies themselves seemed to tear apart as their indomitable Conqueror's Haki clashed violently. The shockwaves ripped apart the land, sending boulders and debris flying outward with devastating force.
"Wham!!!"
Meanwhile, the Gyuki, roaring in fury, was struck by the Quetzalcoatl's enormous tail and sent hurtling through the air. But it retaliated, spitting out massive toxic orbs aimed at the serpent.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
With wings that commanded the wind and lightning, the Quetzalcoatl unleashed a terrifying hurricane, neutralizing the toxic projectiles in explosive bursts. Despite facing two of the Five Elders, Saint Valkyrie and Saint Saturn, the Quetzalcoatl stood tall, its overwhelming presence suppressing both opponents.
"Boom! Boom!"
"Yahahaha! Looks like the Five Elders, rulers of the World Government, aren't so untouchable after all!"
In the distance, Rocks D. Xebec laughed uproariously, his body surrounded by ominous darkness. His blade unleashed powerful slashes, forcing Saint Mars into a defensive position.
"Rocks! Don't get cocky... King Kong Clash!!"
The ferocious Steel Bone Kong, now in his half-beast form, charged with incredible speed. With a single leap, he intercepted Rocks' attack, throwing a massive, Haki-infused punch to shield Saint Mars.
"Boom! Boom!"
As Charlotte Linlin was busy holding off Saint Denis, Steel Bone Kong seized the opportunity to assist Saint Mars, taking over his battle with Rocks.
"Kong, I leave this to you!"
Saint Mars wasted no time. Transforming into the massive serpentine bird Itsumade, he took to the skies.
Just then, a CP0 agent rushed forward, visibly sweating and panicked, urgently reporting:
"My lord, urgent news from the Holy Land! Just moments ago, the Fallen Angel Pirates' Homies army launched a surprise assault on Mariejois!"
"What!?"
