This sudden turn of events caused the pupils of all the mbers of the God's Knights to shrink instantly, and they stared incredulously at St. Jaygarcia Saturn, who was split in two by the light.
That's light and... Conqueror's Haki?
At that mont, they seed to rember sothing… Guillotine!
That Guillotine is made of light!
Even St. Jaygarcia Saturn's immortal body couldn't react imdiately?
At this mont, the mbers of the God's Knights seed to understand sothing: This battle... was not as easy as they had imagined!
The atmosphere suddenly froze, and ti seed to stand still at that mont.
Neither side made another move.
Everyone stared intently at the split figure, including Enel, Gerd, and Kuma, their eyes filled with anticipation.
An immortal being... can they still die?
Even Ian didn't make a move. He remained suspended in mid-air, holding the one-handed axe while looking down at St. Jaygarcia Saturn, who lay on the ground, split in two, as if he were silently reciting sothing.
"1"
"2"
"5"
"6"
"10"
It wasn't until after ten seconds that St. Jaygarcia Saturn, which had split in two, recovered, and the straight vertical crack that had run from top to bottom had disappeared.
And he had no injuries at all, as if nothing had happened, causing Enel, Gerd, and Kuma's pupils, who were staring intently at him, to shrink in surprise.
They sighed in disappointnt.
Even though he seed to have recovered, St. Jaygarcia Saturn's face was still extrely pale.
Ignoring the crowd around him, he leaned on his cane, his massive fra, even larger than Ian's, standing in the crater. He raised his head, staring intently at Ian with cold indifference and rage while suppressing his inner fury as he spoke in a hoarse voice: "It seems we were wrong. I originally thought it would take you a few more years to reach the level of Gol D. Roger and Rocks S. Xebec, so I planned to eliminate you before then. But... It's truly unexpected, Umbrella Corporation..."
"Ian, the God of Sun!"
He read the na aloud again.
But this ti, instead of the initial mockery and disdain, his tone was filled with disbelief and shock, and his eyes no longer looked like looking at ants.
However, in response to St. Jaygarcia Saturn's words, Ian showed no expression, not even a slight movent, and calmly looked down at him: "Well, thank you very much, but... Ten seconds?"
A hint of sarcasm played on his lips. "Your immortality doesn't seem to be as powerful as I imagined!"
…
Moving the clock backward a little, to another part of the sea.
Instructor Zephyr, who was wandering outside, also received the news of the attack on Ohara imdiately. When he heard the news, his face was filled with disbelief.
"What? Our base was raided? Does the World Governnt think the Marine Headquarters is too idle, so they're planning to give it so trouble?"
"Declaring war at this ti? Aren't they worried about sothing going wrong during tomorrow's public execution?"
"Has the evacuation been successful? Okay, I understand."
"Click… Gacha!"
After the Den Den Mushi was hung up, Zephyr's face darkened, and Binz and Ace, who had been listening from beginning to end, also ca closer in puzzlent.
"Our base was attacked?"
Binz frowned, a hint of worry in his voice. "What is the World Governnt thinking? Aren't they afraid of repeating the Water 7 incident?"
"What's the point of talking about this now?"
Unlike Binz, who looked worried, Ace seed anxious. "Instructor Zephyr, shouldn't we hurry back to provide support?"
"Go back? Why would we go back now?"
Looking at the two people in front of him, Instructor Zephyr's expression softened a bit.
After a mont of thought, he said, "Don't worry, the people on Ohara have already been evacuated and sent to the Skypiea."
Fortunately, they had also prepared a safe haven on the Skypiea; otherwise, if sothing like this had happened suddenly, they probably wouldn't have known where to send them.
Zephyr shook his head, his tone wistful: "Now that place has beco a battlefield. The World Governnt has dispatched one of the Five Elders and their dedicated legion. It seems they really intend to take advantage of this opportunity, while everyone's attention is drawn to the public execution, to quietly destroy Ohara once again."
Of course, they had anticipated this outco, so although it was sowhat sudden, it wasn't too surprising.
"Shouldn't we go back to provide support?"
Ace frowned upon hearing Instructor Zephyr's words. "Otherwise, what are we doing here? Just watching?"
"Ace is right."
Binz nodded in agreent, his tone serious. "Zephyr-sensei, no matter the outco, we have to go back and provide support!"
"No, we can't go back to provide support."
However, contrary to their opinions, Instructor Zephyr rejected their suggestion without hesitation. Instead, after a mont of contemplation, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"To Marineford! Since the World Governnt is trying to destroy our ho, we will ruin their plan. I want to see if the World Governnt regrets their decision if this public execution fails!"
...
Damn it!
anwhile, at the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku, who was recuperating in preparation for his public execution the next day, also received intelligence from the West Blue.
Although Kuzan had stated that the Umbrella Corporation would not interfere in this public execution, as the current Fleet Admiral from the Marine Headquarters, how could he possibly believe soone else's words simply to ensure the smooth conduct of the execution?
Therefore, the Marine Headquarters had already assigned people to keep an eye on the Umbrella Corporation to ensure that they would receive news of any actions taken by the Umbrella Corporation imdiately.
He was initially wondering who was so bold as to attack the king of the West Blue, and even felt a bit of pleasure about it.
The result was completely unexpected... they're actually from their side?!
"What is the World Governnt trying to do? What are the Five Elders trying to do?"
Sengoku's face turned red with anger, and he slamd his fist on the table, roaring: "Are they complaining that things are too easy at Marine Headquarters, or are they worried that tomorrow's public execution will go too smoothly?"
Why would they attack the Umbrella Corporation at this crucial mont?
