Chapter 1527: God's Wrath! Star Sword: World Judgment! (Two-in-One)
"Stronger than Garp, an existence named Imu... Come out and fight me!"
Boros's roar, filled with fighting intent and rage, brought shock and nervousness to the World Government's high-ranking officials.
This was no less impactful than his feat of kicking Garp through the Moon.
"Audacious!"
"Presumptuous!"
"Seeking death!"
Inside the Room of Authority, the Five Elders and others were filled with both shock and anger. Not only did terrifying aura condensed from killing intent burst forth from their eyes, but an extremely evil dark aura also emanated from their bodies.
This instantly plunged the entire hall into a terrifying, hell-like atmosphere.
In their eyes, Boros was provoking Lord Imu! A heinous crime, unforgivable! He must be killed!
However, their strength did not allow it. Garp and Zephyr were instantly defeated even when they teamed up. They only had three more people; how much of a difference could they make? At most, they could rely on their immortal bodies to stall for a while.
So, they could only stare and curse, ultimately having to wait for Imu's reaction.
On the other side.
In the space between the Moon and the World.
Boros, who was transforming into a purple meteor and rushing towards the World, angrily discovered that his shouts received no response. This indicated that Imu was either afraid of battle and death, not daring to face him, or was looking down on him and completely ignoring him. He found either scenario difficult to accept.
"In that case, I'll kill my way into the planet and see how long you can tolerate it!"
Boros's cold gaze fixed on the azure planet before him, which was tied with a 'red ribbon'. He decided to go on a killing spree to force Imu into a great battle with him.
But just as Garp's figure, who had been kicked away, entered the World's interior, and Boros was about to follow closely behind, a crimson, crystalline, translucent arc-shaped energy barrier suddenly appeared between them. It perfectly wrapped the area on the World's side, blocking Boros's path.
"Hmph, I didn't expect this planet to even have energy shield technology..."
Boros was slightly astonished, but immediately sneered, "But thinking this kind of thing can stop me is a pipe dream!"
He didn't slow down at all, maintaining his Meteor Mode, transforming into a laser-like purple meteor, and fiercely bombarded the crimson crystalline barrier.
*Crack————*
This attack possessed infinite power. It instantly created dense, spiderweb-like cracks on the barrier's surface. But it ultimately did not completely shatter; instead, it was rapidly recovering.
This caused Boros's expression to change drastically; he was actually stopped by this thing!
"Break for me!!!"
Boros didn't want to give up and began launching an extremely fierce attack on the crimson barrier protecting the World's side.
Every punch and kick he threw could blast out cracks on it, and even shatter parts of the crystal. But he was consistently unable to truly create an opening large enough for a person to pass through. This barrier seemed to have a continuous supply of energy. Its recovery speed could completely keep up with Boros's destruction speed, making his pale expression increasingly unsightly.
"Does Lord Imu permit me to launch an attack on it?"
The scene shifted to Imu's study room. The pure gold Den Den Mushi on the table imitated a pleasant female voice like a gentle stream.
"No need, just stop him."
Imu looked at the screen feed of Boros, who was still continuously bombarding the crimson barrier on the 'Star Map', and replied softly. He wanted to wait a little longer, for the best timing.
"How are Zephyr and Garp?"
"'Magic Moon' Yigu respectfully replied, "Reporting to Lord Imu, Minister Zephyr and Garp the Martial God have been successfully teleported to the Level 3 Coordinate Point, Drum Island Medical Academy, after the 'Emergency Evasion Space Transfer Device' was activated. They are currently receiving emergency treatment from senior doctors like Crocus, Naiqin, and Ivankov."
Imu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. Although it didn't sound good to say, he was very happy that the things he manufactured played a role at a crucial moment.
Inside the space transfer devices embedded in the Coat of Justice and Martial God Coat, there were three coordinate points he had saved beforehand, divided into Level 1, 2, and 3 based on trigger priority.
Level 1 Coordinate.
Used when in an otherworld not covered by Star Fate Coverage. It could instantly teleport them near the Star Gate of that world, making it convenient for them to leave that world immediately.
Level 2 Coordinate.
Used when in a world covered by Star Fate Coverage and the body has not suffered severe injuries. It could instantly teleport them to the Marine Headquarters on the Moon, ensuring immediate escape from dangerous predicaments.
Level 3 Coordinate, like Level 2, also required being in a world covered by Star Fate Coverage. But if the device's life detector found that the master was severely injured or even lost consciousness, it would automatically teleport them to the Medical Academy on Drum Island. At the same time, it would trigger the maximum alert within the Medical Academy.
This was because the individuals currently granted the 'Emergency Evasion Space Transfer Device' were all high-ranking officials. Now, this proved that Imu was correct.
Especially Zephyr, who was blasted out of the Moon by Boros's punch and flew into the vast, dark universe. Without the help of this thing, even finding him would have been troublesome. Not to mention immediate emergency treatment.
Now, Zephyr's value could be said to have risen sharply. If something unexpected happened to him, such as mysteriously disappearing and being untraceable, Imu would be greatly troubled. Compared to that, it would be better if Zephyr died...
There was also Kaido, who was also severely injured and almost beaten to death. He just didn't have time to change into his new Coat of Justice. Otherwise, Sengoku wouldn't have needed to carry him away. He would have been teleported to the Medical Academy long ago to receive the best treatment.
However, Kaido's survival also exceeded Imu's expectations. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a miracle.
At the same time.
The populace in various places within the World, which was currently in its nighttime period, discovered that the sky, which should have been dark, suddenly turned crimson. Thunder-like loud sounds also came from time to time.
This caused them to take out their Den Den Mushi or mobile phones to record it. Then they shared their experience and mood on the 'Star Sea Network', which was structured around the 'Super Den Den Mushi' as its core.
For a time, the World's populace, who didn't understand what was happening, discussed it heatedly. Some were curious, some were worried, and some were nervous. Everyone was waiting for the World Government's official announcement...
Regarding the Ministry of Police Affairs.
Dragon and Issho had already arrived in the airspace below the barrier that Boros was attacking. They were ready to make a move at any time to intercept this incredibly strong space pirate.
There were also Redfield and Lucci from Cipher Pol. Figarland Garling from the Holy Knights. And Mihawk, Doflamingo, and Tesoro, the three members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. All were standing by in various places.
As long as Boros rushed in, they would definitely attack him together, defending the World and the Holy Land Mary Geoise!
On the other side.
Boros's mood was extremely foul at this moment. No matter how fiercely he attacked, he couldn't do anything to this seemingly thin crystalline energy barrier.
This was the strength of 'Magic Moon' Yigu. Possessing an entire magic satellite, although her combat power was inferior to Boros in Meteor State, the magic shield she created could barely withstand Boros's ordinary attacks.
"In that case, I will release all my energy!"
"If you have the ability, block it!"
"Otherwise, I will completely flatten the surface of this planet!"
Boros, consumed by rage, made this crazy decision. His Meteor Mode couldn't last for too long. Instead of wasting it on this damned barrier, it was better to blast it apart in one go and then threaten the living beings within the planet. This would force Imu to make a move and confront him head-on.
Even if it was just a single clash, as long as the victory or defeat was decided, Boros would consider it worth it!
While speaking, Boros spread his arms, forcefully releasing all the energy within his meteorite orb. Extreme energy produced extreme radiance, and extreme radiance was accompanied by extreme lightning. Boros, who was at the center, whose body was originally entirely snow-white with purple energy markings, instantly turned entirely black, and the energy markings also changed from purple to golden.
He looked extremely evil and bizarre, and his sense of oppression was instantly maxed out.
"What is he doing!"
This scene caused Sengoku, who had just brought Kaido back to Marine Headquarters, to change his expression drastically. He could clearly feel Boros's aura surging again. He was already strong enough to easily defeat Martial God Garp and Zephyr with his 100 Million Volt Lightning Push. What kind of monster was this?
To be honest.
At this moment, deep within Sengoku's heart, he felt some doubt about whether that Lord Imu could truly defeat Boros. After all, this energy level had already exceeded the scope of his understanding.
At this time, Boros completed his energy condensation. He unleashed this special move, filled with fighting intent, rage, and even killing intent, towards the World in one breath.
"Collapsing! Star! Roaring! Cannon!"
*Boom——————*
There was no accident. Even though 'Magic Moon' Yigu sensed something was wrong and further increased her magic power output to strengthen the magic barrier's defense power, it was still shattered at the slightest touch against Boros's 'Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon', offering no resistance whatsoever.
"Not good!"
"Must block it!"
Dragon and Issho looked at the dazzling golden-blue radiance 'slowly' descending above their heads and 'slowly' growing larger. They immediately gritted their teeth and unleashed their respective strongest techniques.
"Dragon's Breath: Hurricane Dragon King!!!"
"Gravity Blade: Hell Tiger!!!"
In an instant, a mass of cyan-green hurricane and a mass of dark-purple gravity surged up into the sky. They each occupied almost half of the entire sky. Their scale was no less than a true natural disaster.
However.
These two powerful forces appeared incredibly fragile before the descending blue-golden light pillar. Whether it was the hurricane or the gravity, they shattered and dispersed in an instant.
This caused despair and worry to flash in Dragon and Issho's eyes. They couldn't stop Boros, and the World below them was bound to suffer a catastrophe.
*Dong!*
At this critical juncture.
Whether it was Dragon, Issho, Sengoku, or the Five Elders, Redfield, Kong, and Raimon in different locations, or even the officers and soldiers and populace of the entire World, they all heard a drum sound that lifted their spirits.
Music followed, the tune was uplifting and powerful, and the melody contained awe-inspiring strength and majesty. The timbres of various musical instruments constantly intertwined, impacting their minds like waves.
Hundreds of millions of people were simultaneously dumbfounded at this moment, mouths agape, foolishly listening to this magnificent music called 'God's Wrath', which came from who knows where.
Only Dragon and Issho clearly saw it above their heads. A miraculous long saber suddenly appeared, its scabbard crimson, its surface outlined with golden yellow flame markings, and surrounded by shimmering starlight.
It was Imu's personal sword, Perfect Nichirin: Xihe!
*Swish——————*
Accompanied by the grand and shocking music between heaven and earth, the exquisite pure gold blade automatically came out of its sheath. It instantly bloomed with radiance no less dazzling than the light above.
How astonishing was Dragon and Issho's discernment? They vaguely saw an arc-shaped slash composed of countless starlight condensing within the radiance.
Star Sword: World Judgment.
Although there was no substantial sound, Imu's low murmur inexplicably echoed in the minds of Dragon, Issho, and Boros above.
"What?!"
This caused Boros's pupils, which had turned crimson, to tremble abruptly.
The next moment.
The starlight slash collided with the Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon. But there was no earth-shattering great explosion as imagined. The former was like a large, arc-shaped eraser, silently 'erasing' all the energy.
At the same time, it flowed upstream. It 'erased' all the chaos along the way, restoring everything to calm. Until Xihe's golden light-flashing blade pointed directly at Boros's center of the brow.
At this time, Boros's gaze was vacant, and his pupils were unfocused. He seemed to still be immersed in the dazzling starlight from just now, or perhaps that incredibly grand music.
In Boros's eyes.
Xihe's sword hilt was held in the hand of a figure with waist-length black hair, dressed in flowing white clothes, and a cold expression. But as Xihe disappeared into the starlight, this figure also dissipated with the wind.
"Dragon, Issho, escort Boros to Impel Down!"
The next second, Imu's voice descended from the sky. This immediately startled Dragon and Issho, who were deeply shocked.
The two exchanged a silent gaze, then moved to fly towards Boros's location. Both of them held full vigilance in their hearts, as no one knew if Boros would resist.
But upon flying closer, they found that Boros's body had become like burnt coal. However, his pinkish-white long hair was completely intact. At this moment, he was weakly falling towards the great sea below.
This was the reason Imu didn't continue to make a move. Boros, after unleashing the 'Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon', would be incredibly weak for a long time.
Of course, he wouldn't die. As long as the meteorite orb within their race's body was not destroyed, their energy would slowly recover. And with energy, flesh and blood could naturally regenerate.
"Was that... was that person... Imu..." Dragon had just caught Boros's charred body when he heard him murmur with difficulty.
"I... I had no ability to fight back... This can't even be considered a battle..."
"That prophecy was indeed a lie... He's too strong..."
Dragon and Issho exchanged glances. Lord Imu? Why didn't they see him? So, that was Lord Imu's blade just now, and Lord Imu made a move?
Meanwhile.
The Five Elders, Sengoku, Kong, Raimon, Redfield, Garling, and other high-ranking officials who also witnessed and heard all of this, felt both shock and that it was reasonable. If it was indeed that Lord Imu who made a move and suppressed Boros with a single slash, it didn't seem strange at all.
*Buzz——————*
But just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief the next second. That Moon, half of which had melted into a sea of lava and fire and had been completely penetrated, was suddenly enveloped by a pale blue spherical aura that appeared out of nowhere.
This caused Sengoku, as well as Kuzan, Borsalino, Shiki, and others who had just arrived at the Marine Headquarters Plaza via 'Teleportation Gate', to become vigilant. They had all seen Garp and Zephyr defeated, and Boros continuously bombarding the magic barrier, attempting to invade the World mainland. They had disregarded guarding the outer star system defense zone and rushed back to defend, preparing to surround and attack Boros. But who knew that Boros had already been defeated as soon as they arrived.
"This is..."
Sengoku motioned for them not to act rashly. Boros had already been defeated, so the current commotion was likely still the work of that Lord Imu.
Immediately after, they saw the super giant battleship floating in the air instantly disappear. At the same time. All the destruction markings suffered by the Moon began to visibly recover, as if time were rewinding.
The magma that flowed freely turned back into grayish-white lunar soil in large areas. Large and small ring-shaped pits reappeared one by one. Even the Moon core that had been blasted through was refilled.
This was certainly not time rewinding, but the Stigma Alchemy that Imu had control over. But the scene still looked like a miracle, continuously shocking everyone's minds.
However, Imu deliberately left the hundred-kilometer super large ring-shaped pits that Garp had created at both ends of the Moon surface when 'entering and exiting'. Such large-scale markings could even be clearly seen from within the World. Especially the people on Sky Island could see it even more clearly.
Imu wanted to use these markings to constantly remind the World Government's high-ranking officials not to be arrogant anymore. They must hold a heart of awe towards the myriad worlds!
"Stronger than Garp, an existence named Imu... Come out and fight me!"
Boros's roar, filled with fighting intent and rage, brought shock and nervousness to the World Government's high-ranking officials.
This was no less impactful than his feat of kicking Garp through the Moon.
"Audacious!"
"Presumptuous!"
"Seeking death!"
Inside the Room of Authority, the Five Elders and others were filled with both shock and anger. Not only did terrifying aura condensed from killing intent burst forth from their eyes, but an extremely evil dark aura also emanated from their bodies.
