But... the cooperation among the Five Elders was too seamless.
At first, they could still give El a one-on-one opportunity.
But as the battle dragged on, El simply couldn't find a one-on-one situation with any of the Five Elders.
Every time they clashed, El had to face attacks from two of the Five Elders simultaneously!
"El, can you block this punch?"
Accompanied by the yellow-haired old man gathering power into a punch, he suddenly struck toward El.
El's figure rapidly flew backward, moving a full hundred meters before barely stabilizing his stance.
"El has been knocked back!!!"
"As expected, under the combined assault of two of the Five Elders, El can only resist but is no match for them!"
"I remember that the ability El uses to amplify his strength still has a time limit. Before it ends, he's no match for the Five Elders. Once it's over, he'll definitely die here in the Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
Seeing El being knocked away by the yellow-haired old man, many members of the CP Organization immediately became excited.
El's combat power truly shocked everyone present.
But they also knew that El wouldn't be able to maintain this state for long; sooner or later, he would be defeated!
"Your strength and abilities are indeed impressive, but... facing us two at once, you have no chance of winning, El," said the knife-wielding old man lightly, carrying his blade on his shoulder.
"However, I have to admit, El, that you've held out this long against the two of us working together. That's quite good!"
Although El was their enemy, his abilities and strength truly deserved the praise of the yellow-haired old man!
"If nothing unexpected happens, your ability should end soon, right? What will you do then—beg for mercy on your knees?"
The knife-wielding old man sneered coldly, with a look of certainty that he had El cornered.
"Beg for mercy? That's a good idea. But... even if you really kneel and beg, I will still choose to kill you," El said calmly as he approached the two Five Elders.
Even now, facing two of the Five Elders working together, he was slightly at a disadvantage.
But he still didn't regard anyone present as a threat!
After all, El was currently relying only on the power-up experience card that multiplied his strength several times, the power of the Rinnegan's Shinra Tensei and the Six Paths' attraction,
The Wood Style, Sage Mode, Tailed Beast Mode—he hadn't even used these yet!!!
"Hahaha... you're about to die, yet you still insist on talking tough, El?"
"The thing I'm really curious about is how you'll look when we catch you alive and conduct experiments," the yellow-haired old man said with a slight smirk.
They had no intention of killing El today.
Instead, they had decided to study El, uncover the secrets of his physique, the secrets of his Devil Fruit!
And find a way to obtain the Devil Fruit inside his body!!!
"I'm also quite curious to see what expressions you guys will have when you die beneath me," El said lightly.
"Hahaha... arrogant fool!"
As his words fell, the yellow-haired old man and the knife-wielding old man charged at El again.
"Sage Mode!!!"
El let out a light cry and directly activated the power of Sage Mode.
Suddenly, black lines appeared around his eyes and on his forehead.
El's body began to absorb the natural energy around him continuously, then merge it into his own body.
Once in this mode, El's speed, strength, and perception were enhanced several more levels!
"Gah!!!"
After entering this mode, El sheathed his Zanpakutō.
Then he clasped his hands together and softly chanted: "Sage Art, Wood Style: True Thousand Hands!!!"
By now, the battle had already gone on for some time.
El no longer planned to hold back his full strength.
Because once the strength-up experience card expired, he would be in serious danger!
"Rumble!!"
As El's voice fell, the ground beneath him violently shook.
Suddenly, thick smoke rose up, covering everyone's vision.
Through the smoke, everyone could see: A gigantic Buddha statue, more majestic than a mountain, slowly rising from beneath the ground.
Behind the Buddha, thousands of enormous arms extended outward.
Each arm was as thick as the legendary Tree of Adam!!!
The Wood Style: True Thousand Hands was the most powerful ability of the Sage of the Ninja, Senju Hashirama—without question.
This technique, apart from its somewhat inconvenient movement and enormous size, had no flaws besides that!
The power of the True Thousand Hands could destroy the world!!!
The towering Buddha statue and the massive arms behind it exuded an extreme aura of danger.
A terrifying oppressive feeling enveloped everyone's hearts.
"This... what is this???"
"Is... is this a joke? How could this guy have such a power?"
"Damn, since the end of the God's Valley battle, what has El been through? How did he develop his Devil Fruit to this extent, summoning such a gigantic creature?!"
"This... this Buddha statue is probably close to a hundred meters tall!"
"Close to a hundred meters? Impossible! It's at least close to a thousand meters!"
"Is this guy even human?"
"No, this guy isn't human at all—he's a monster that surpasses even the Rocks Pirates!"
Staring at the enormous Buddha statue in front of him, countless members of the CP Organization were so frightened they sat on the ground.
Under the power of the True Thousand Hands of Wood Style, they felt as tiny as ants!!!
The overwhelming pressure radiating from it was like a soul attack, causing their hairs to stand on end and their bodies to tremble!
"El!" Garp's forehead broke out in cold sweat.
He looked in disbelief at the towering Thousand Hands Buddha, nearly reaching the clouds.
That immense oppressive force made him feel a heavy pressure!
"In previous battles, El never used this ability before. This guy is truly a monster—he developed this technique too!" Sengoku couldn't help but gasp.
In their previous encounters with El, they had seen him unleash various terrifying abilities.
But... the current release of the Wood Style: True Thousand Hands completely shattered their understanding!
It made them realize that a single person could develop and unleash such a terrifying technique!!!
"El, before even using this ability, was able to confront the two Five Elders. Now, with this power, we might... need to step in!" Zephyr said seriously.
Before El released the True Thousand Hands of Wood Style, he could already fight the two Five Elders using other abilities.
Though he was at a slight disadvantage, it was enough to prove how terrifying El's strength was in normal state!
Now, with the release of the Thousand-Meter-tall Wood Style: True Thousand Hands, based solely on what the two Five Elders could do, they probably couldn't handle it.
Because no one knew how terrifying the power of this gigantic Buddha and its thousands of massive arms would be!
"I'm increasingly glad that El, this monster, invaded the Holy Land Mary Geoise, because... only here can we join forces to kill him!"
Tsuru wiped the sweat from her forehead, her expression serious.
