Initially, El thought that increasing his strength several times would already be his strongest ability.
But unexpectedly, El suddenly unleashed the Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands—a power capable of shaking the world!
Staring at the gigantic Buddha statue, more majestic than a mountain, no one in the entire Holy Land Mary Geoise could remain calm.
Whitebeard, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the scarred old man, glanced toward El and burst out laughing.
"Gulalala... El, I knew you would always surprise me!"
Every time he fought alongside El, El would unleash some of his most terrifying abilities.
And this time was no exception!
The scarred old man glanced at the massive Buddha statue, then looked at Whitebeard with a serious expression and said, "Edward, if you can tell me the secret of El's body right now, I might consider letting you go!"
Although they, the Five Elders, were determined to eliminate El today, the scarred old man also knew that the ability El just released would be very tricky to deal with.
Besides that, they were unsure whether El still possessed other abilities!
He believed that the other four Elders could definitely handle El.
But if uncovering the secret of El's body could reduce some trouble, it was worth trying.
"Are you joking with me? How could I possibly reveal my friend's secret to you?" Whitebeard snorted coldly.
Though he said that, in truth, Whitebeard had no idea about the secrets of El's body.
And even if he did, he absolutely wouldn't tell the scarred old man.
"Then it looks like... you've made a foolish choice. Today, you will die here!"
The scarred old man suddenly stomped his foot, his figure like a ghost, rapidly closing in on Whitebeard.
After wrapping his fists with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, he swung his fists fiercely toward Whitebeard.
As the ruler and highest authority of this world, all five of the Five Elders had awakened Conqueror's Haki.
And... all had trained to the maximum level!
The terrifying pressure transmitted from the scarred old man enveloped Whitebeard.
"Tendō Jinryu!!!"
Whitebeard's expression turned serious. His veins bulged on his arms as he clenched his twin blades tightly.
At that moment, a visible white sphere appeared at the tip of his twin blades.
This was the power of his Devil Fruit.
Since the dissolution of the Rocks Pirates, Whitebeard had developed the abilities of the Gura Gura no Mi to a terrifying level.
Because of this, the World Government had declared Whitebeard to possess the power to destroy the world.
"Boom!!!"
Whitebeard's twin blades clashed with the fists of the scarred old man.
A terrifying force erupted, shaking everything around.
The momentum of both fighters instantly soared to its peak, like two roaring beasts!
However, there was a certain gap in strength between Whitebeard and the scarred old man.
He could barely resist, but he wouldn't last long!!!
...…
Meanwhile, on the other side, El was standing atop the head of the Thousand Hands Buddha.
He crossed his arms and looked disdainfully at the many strong fighters below.
The True Thousand Hands of Wood Style inherently possessed extremely terrifying combat power.
Not to mention, El's current strength was still amplified several times by the experience card, which hadn't expired yet.
In other words, the True Thousand Hands of Wood Style that El was unleashing now was several times more terrifying than the normal version!!!
Although the Wood Style: True Thousand Hands was not El's ultimate trump card, he believed that using such a technique was enough to contend against more than two of the Five Elders!
"Damn, this is quite tricky."
The knife-wielding old man pushed up his glasses, his expression serious as he looked at the enormous Buddha statue in front of him.
He never expected that El would have such a terrifying ability!
Although they hadn't fought yet, he could already feel the immense pressure emanating from the Buddha statue.
The long-haired old man slowly walked behind the two, carrying his hands behind his back and said, "Just relying on you two, I'm afraid we're no longer his match. Let me come too."
Originally, the five Elders—using the knife-wielding and the yellow-haired old man—planned to deal with El.
But as El released the True Thousand Hands of Wood Style, he realized, that relying on just the two of them might not be enough to defeat El.
If he joined in, then... he believed they still had a great chance of victory!
"Unbelievable, fighting a little ghost with three of us," the yellow-haired old man said self-deprecatingly with a smile.
They were the Five Elders, after all, controlling this world for hundreds of years.
Occupying the top position in this world.
Now... to deal with El, they needed all three of them working together.
"No choice, El's abilities are too strange. We should eliminate him as soon as possible and study the secrets of his body," the long-haired old man reminded.
Though he felt a bit ashamed of fighting three against one, El's abilities were simply too bizarre and monstrous.
So, they could only adopt a tactic of overwhelming numbers.
Next to them, Garp clenched his fist and said, "We also want to join the fight!"
Ever since El defeated him long ago, Garp had been eager to find a chance to confront El again—to avenge his past defeat.
But he never found one.
Now, with El unleashing such terrifying abilities, Garp felt a renewed fighting spirit, eager to team up with the Five Elders and face El!
"If we all go together, I believe we can take down El very quickly," Sengoku suggested.
"Our strength isn't as good as yours, but... we're not weak either!" Zephyr agreed.
Although their current strength was no match for the Five Elders, and even less so for El now, all three wanted to participate and personally fight this monster, El!
"You guys just watch from the side. We don't need your help," the knife-wielding old man said calmly, giving them a glance.
As Five Elders, they possessed formidable strength.
And they also had immense pride!
In their eyes, El was just a little ghost.
But to deal with a little ghost, they needed three of them working together.
That alone was a blow to their pride.
Now, how could they possibly rely on the Navy's help?
Where would they put their face???
"But..."
Garp and the others still wanted to say more.
The yellow-haired old man cut them off directly: "Are you underestimating our strength?"
"Of course not," Zephyr shook his head.
"If not, then just watch from the side. This battlefield is in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, which is our world government's territory. Since that's the case, we will handle this enemy ourselves!"
Hearing the words of the Five Elders, Garp and the others suddenly glanced at each other, then sighed helplessly. They stepped aside.
They naturally knew that the Five Elders were extremely proud.
So no matter how much they said, the Five Elders would not agree to let them participate in the fight.
"Come on, El. We three will be your opponents," said the knife-wielding old man, the yellow-haired old man, and the long-haired old man, standing in front of El's Thousand Hands Buddha.
Each of the three's strength was extraordinarily terrifying.
Whether it was martial arts, swordsmanship, or Haki, each had cultivated to the peak of perfection!
Moreover, as longtime companions, their teamwork was also extremely strong!!!
"Just you three? You're still not qualified," El said calmly and lightly.
