Chapter 397: Wrath of the Buddha! Descent of the Gyuki!
Marineford · Execution Platform
A deafening roar from Saint Saturn suddenly erupted from the Den Den Mushi:
"Sengoku!!! You dare defy the will of the Celestial Dragons?!!"
His voice pressed down like thunder, instantly freezing the air around the execution platform.
However, in this moment, Sengoku's eyes became utterly resolute!
The majesty of the man who once bore the title of the "Pillar of the Marines" reignited. His figure seemed to return to the era when he fought shoulder-to-shoulder with Garp and Zephyr, sweeping across the seas and suppressing all conquerors!
—With Justice that Reigns Supreme!!!
The Buddha's light blasted into the heavens!
All of Marineford seemed to tremble beneath the golden sun!
Sengoku violently tore off his Fleet Admiral cloak, the word "Justice" snapping fiercely in the howling wind!
What was revealed was a torso forged of iron—covered in scars, yet unyielding!
He roared, his voice rolling like thunder across the entire battlefield: "We are the Marines—born for Justice!!!"
"Annihilating pirates is our destiny!!!"
From the Den Den Mushi, the Five Elders' furious roars continued, but Sengoku was no longer backing down.
His fists cracked as he squeezed them tight. Glaring at the snail, he bellowed:
"Our soldiers are fighting to the death on the front lines against the pirates, and you want me to compromise on the eve of victory?!!"
"Impossible!!!"
CRACK—!
He crushed the Den Den Mushi with his bare hand, reducing its metal and shell to fine powder that drifted through his fingers!
Rayleigh jerked his head up. Illuminated by the Buddha's light, his wrinkled face showed unprecedented shock in his eyes. "Sengoku... you..."
Sengoku did not reply!
"VROOM—!!!"
Golden light flared brilliantly! He threw his arms wide open, completely unleashing the Buddha's light!
"Zoan, Hito Hito no Mi, Mythical Model: Daibutsu—Full Unleash!!!"
In an instant, he transformed into a hundred-meter-tall golden Buddha, proudly looking down upon Marineford!
His solemn and majestic presence was as if a true deity had descended, his radiance bathing heaven and earth!
He let out a roar that echoed across the world: "BUDDHA'S WRATH!!!"
"BOOM—!!!"
An endless golden shockwave erupted from his palm, transforming into a torrent that swallowed heaven and earth!
Hundreds of vicious Level 4 and 5 criminals on the front lines couldn't even scream before they were reduced to ash within the golden light!
The shockwave shattered the earth, completely obliterated the glaciers, and kicked up thousand-meter-high tidal waves across the sea!
On the battlefield, the eyes of countless pirates glazed over in terror as they let out despairing wails: "Sengoku has personally joined the fight!!!"
"It's over... we're all finished!!!"
"I just want to go back to my cell in Impel Down—!!!"
The Marine soldiers, on the other hand, had bloodshot eyes, their blood boiling with adrenaline!
The Buddha's voice boomed like a grand bell, vibrating through the heavens and overwhelming everything else:
"MARINES—ALL FORCES, ATTACK!!!"
"ANNIHILATE—ALL ENEMIES!!!"
"ROAR—!!!"
The war cries of tens of thousands of Marines pierced the firmament!
"JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!!!"
Sengoku's figure stood atop the execution platform like an immovable golden Buddha.
In this moment, the scales of the entire battlefield completely tipped in favor of the Marines!
Hearing this, Sakazuki, locked in a death match with Shanks, felt his blood surge. His eyes burned with scorching killing intent. "The Marines—will not take a single step back!!!"
His giant magma fists blasted forward once again. Overwhelming volcanic heat waves crashed down, determined to bury Shanks here once and for all!
High in the sky, Kizaru half-closed his eyes, golden light flickering deep within his pupils. He heard Sengoku's will within that roar.
"Scary~ It seems today, I really can't afford to slack off anymore."
SWISH—!!!
Golden light erupted instantly!
Byrnndi World, who was currently using all his strength just to fend off Aokiji, suddenly felt his heart clench!
He had just sensed a lethal crisis behind him, but before he could even turn around to defend, it was too late!
"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
The next moment, a light-speed kick!!
"BANG—!!!"
The blinding white beam connected brutally! World's chest caved in instantly as blood sprayed wildly. His massive body, a mix of flesh and steel, was sent flying like a cannonball, tumbling hundreds of meters before crashing heavily into the ruins!
—Instantly critically wounded!!!
At the same time, Sengoku personally entered the fray. The golden Buddha leapt down from the high execution platform, his hundred-meter golden body landing steadily to anchor the frontlines of the Marine elites!
The Buddha's light radiated brilliantly, illuminating all directions!
The morale of the entire army reached an absolute boiling point!
Meanwhile, the pirate faction completely collapsed!
"The Fleet Admiral joined the fight?! You don't have any martial honor at all!!!"
"I should never have come out—!!!"
"Wasn't it fine to just sit in jail?! Why did we have to run out here and seek death?!!"
The situation on the entire battlefield had completely flipped upside down in this moment!
Sacred Land Mariejois · Room of Authority
"CRASH—!!!"
The crystal chandelier shattered to the floor as Saint Nusjuro slammed his fist violently onto the desk, his roar shaking the room: "BASTARDS!!!"
"Even Sengoku dares to disobey our orders?! Are the Marines trying to overturn the heavens?!!"
Saint Warcury's face was livid. His five fingers cracked as he clenched them, his voice brimming with cold, murderous intent: "These ungrateful dogs... who do they think provides them with food and funding?!"
"Have they forgotten—who the true masters of this world are?!!"
Saint Ju Peter stared coldly at the live broadcast, a chilling gleam in his eyes. His tone was freezing: "But right now... we cannot directly stop this war."
The air suddenly fell silent.
Step... step... step—
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed as Saint Saturn slowly rose from his seat, leaning on his cane. His voice was as low as a death knell:
"It seems... they truly have forgotten the majesty of the Celestial Dragons."
Saint Warcury's expression shifted, and he quickly spoke up to stop him: "Saint Saturn! What are you trying to do?!"
Saint Ju Peter's pupils shrank. "No! Lord Imu explicitly ordered—we are not to interfere directly!"
Saint Saturn merely waved his hand dismissively, a red glow slowly burning deep within his pupils. "Do not worry."
"I am simply going to remind them..."
"...who the true masters of this world really are."
His silhouette stretched out in the shadows, looking like an ancient demon about to step out of its cage!
The Buddha's light was like an ocean, illuminating heaven and earth!
The moment the Fleet Admiral joined the fray, the Marines' morale burned at an absolute peak!
The Marine flags snapped fiercely in the gale, their cries of Justice shaking the firmament!
In contrast, the top-tier combatants of the pirates were gradually exhausting their strength.
World had been critically wounded by Kizaru, Buggy was teetering on the edge after his fierce battle with Luffy, and Bullet was completely pinned down by the combined efforts of Gion and Tokikake!
Everything was moving in the direction of Justice being fully executed!
"BOOM—!!!"
Magma erupted like a burst dam. Sakazuki's fists blazed as Haki and lava intertwined, transforming into a roaring divine punishment that smashed down toward Shanks!
Blood poured profusely from Shanks' right arm. The edge of Gryphon still flickered with residual black-red electrical arcs. His breathing was rapid and heavy as he realized that the tide of battle was already lost!
"VROOM—!!!"
Just as the giant magma fists were about to crash down, the sky was abruptly torn asunder!
The cloud layer shattered, and space cracked open like a mirror, revealing a pitch-black rift!
Following closely behind, a blinding light plummeted from the high heavens, illuminating all of Marineford like a falling star!
An unimaginably blistering pillar of energy pierced heaven and earth, carrying an overwhelmingly oppressive aura that instantly plunged the entire battlefield into a deathly silence!
Countless people on the battlefield instinctively looked up, their pupils shrinking to pinpricks in the brilliance!
"What is... that?! A light... falling from the sky?"
At the same time, a gargantuan, black-and-purple pentagram array suddenly materialized on the ground!
CRACK-CRACK-CRACK—!!!
From within the pentagram array, scorching black lightning erupted violently!
The air instantly solidified, as if some terrifying entity was about to awaken!
"ROAR—!!!"
A black, mud-like substance surged out from the array, coagulating and piling up until it transformed into an indescribably grotesque monster!
Its massive lower half was that of a spider, its eight legs cracking the earth beneath them;
Its upper half, however, featured a savage bull's head. Its fangs dripped with blood, and its eyes burned with hellish crimson flames!
"THUD—!!!"
The monster landed, shattering the plaza and releasing a suffocating pressure!
The battlefield fell completely silent. Whether Marine or pirate, everyone stared dumbly at the monster that looked as if it had crawled straight out of hell!
"What... is that thing?!!"
"A demon... has a demon descended?!!"
Illuminated by the Buddha's light of Sengoku's golden form, the savage monster took a step forward. Black-purple lightning slithered around its body like the punishments of the underworld!
In the next moment—
The Gyuki-like colossus slowly raised its head. Its voice was deep, exuding absolute authority and biting cold: "Sengoku..."
"It is time for the Marines to bleed."
—The highest authority of the World Government, one of the Five Elders, Saint Saturn! In his Gyuki form, he had descended upon the battlefield!!!
The entire world was shocked to its core, their breaths completely catching in their throats!
