The unconscious pirates were now scattered throughout Mary Geoise. If abandoned, they would surely be completely annihilated once the World Government forces recovered.
By then, the Rocks Pirates would become a group with only Officers and no members.
Raiver nodded slightly and vanished with a teleport.
...
High in the sky, Raiver's figure reappeared through teleportation.
His eyes looked down upon the entire Mary Geoise, which had become a living hell.
Within his vision, smoke filled the air, ruins stretched continuously, and flames burned everywhere.
He closed his eyes and fully expanded his Space Perception.
Within the range of his perception, all pirates who still had life signs but were deeply unconscious appeared as clear points of light on his mental "map."
Then, Raiver raised his hands and softly uttered:
"All Creation of Attraction."
Hum—!!!
A massive gravitational field centered around Raiver and enveloped almost the entire Holy Land below.
Instantly, throughout Mary Geoise...
Tens of thousands of unconscious pirates, as if pulled by invisible ropes, began floating into the air.
Maintaining their unconscious postures, they were drawn by the gravitational force like raindrops flowing backward, swiftly flying toward Raiver high in the sky from all directions.
The dense figures rising into the air created a spectacular and eerie scene.
This was the true "All Creation of Attraction"!
"All Creation" — tens of thousands of pirates.
"Attraction" — drawn toward the sky.
Simultaneously, space fluctuated violently in front of Raiver, and a giant Space Gate with a diameter of one hundred meters abruptly opened.
Inside the gate connected to each Space Gate on the decks of thirty Giant Battleships.
The floating pirates, as if passing through a water curtain, orderly surged into this giant Space Gate.
Then, according to Raiver's mental command, they were randomly distributed and landed on the decks of various ships, piling up like mountains.
In less than a minute, tens of thousands of pirates had been completely transferred.
Raiver's expression remained unchanged as he turned his gaze to another area of Mary Geoise where fierce combat still raged.
Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, John, Kaido, and others were engaged in intense battle with all members of the God's Knights, the outcome still undecided.
His figure flashed once more, teleporting above the battle.
"Captain Rocks' orders: all members retreat!"
After speaking, Raiver opened a Space Gate not far behind everyone.
"Space Fault - Isolation!"
Swish—!
The space between Silver Axe and Saint Garling, who was fiercely attacking him, was suddenly "inserted" with a transparent spatial barrier.
Saint Garling's determined sword strike hit the barrier, only creating ripples without advancing an inch.
Silver Axe seized the opportunity to quickly retreat and entered the Space Gate nearby.
The dual-blade knight attempting to ambush John from behind found the spatial distance between himself and John strangely stretched dozens of times, his originally point-blank attack landing on empty air.
This sudden spatial interference instantly disrupted the God's Knights' offensive rhythm.
The Officers, with Raiver's spatial intervention, successfully repelled or knocked back their opponents and entered the Space Gate.
"Pirates, where do you think you're going!"
An enraged roar sounded.
The commander of the God's Knights - Saint Garling.
His figure blurred into a faint afterimage as he charged toward the still-open Space Gate.
But at that moment, Raiver suddenly teleported in front of Saint Garling.
The Black Dragon Blade was drawn, slashing down in a single strike!
"Demon Evasion!"
Saint Garling's pupils abruptly contracted!
He had never anticipated that Raiver would appear at this moment, in this manner.
In that rushed instant, his combat instincts made him cross his rapier overhead to block!
Clang! Boom—
The moment blade and sword collided, dark red arcs of Conqueror's Haki erupted wildly, scattering in all directions.
"Ugh—!"
Saint Garling grunted, his face instantly flushing red.
Thud!
He simply couldn't withstand this slash; his entire body was sent flying like a struck baseball, brutally hacked away.
Out of control, he shot backward—thump!
A loud crash echoed as his back slammed heavily into the spatial barrier Raiver had earlier erected.
The barrier rippled violently but did not shatter; instead, it doubled the impact force and reflected it back onto him.
"Pfft—!"
Saint Garling immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal organs violently shaken, his eyes filled with shock, fury, and disbelief.
He was the leader of the God's Knights!
How could he be so thoroughly overwhelmed in a single exchange?
Raiver cast a cold glance at him, yet deep in his eyes was a trace of gravity.
He clearly sensed that Saint Garling's injuries were healing at a visible rate.
That familiar, Imu-derived black aura of immortality was faintly seeping from the other's body.
Engaging in a prolonged fight with such an "immortal" was meaningless.
After all, like the Five Elders, the God's Knights shared Imu's immortality trait.
Without the slightest hesitation to linger, Raiver's figure flickered as he teleported away.
Only Saint Garling, crashed against the spatial barrier with a livid expression, and the other God's Knights members rushing forward remained.
The Space Gate quietly closed after Raiver left, as if it had never existed.
...
Meanwhile, Raiver teleported back to the battlefield where Rocks and the others were fiercely battling Imu.
"Captain Rocks, we can withdraw!"
As he spoke, Raiver swiftly traced his hands through the air before him.
A Space Gate abruptly opened not far behind Rocks and the others, revealing a corner of the main ship's deck within.
A fierce glint flashed in Rocks' eyes as he repelled an attacking spider leg. Without the slightest hesitation, he roared, "Go!"
Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Charlotte Linlin simultaneously unleashed powerful strikes, blasting away the spider legs before them, then decisively pulled back, shooting at top speed toward the Space Gate.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Imu's icy gaze locked onto the retreating four.
Four spider legs, as if piercing through space, abruptly extended and stabbed out at a speed surpassing the group's retreat!
The venomous tips aimed straight for the backs of Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin, who were lagging behind!
This strike was fast, ruthless, and precise, imbued with powerful Haki and toxicity enough to instantly cripple or even kill top-tier fighters!
At this critical moment—
Raiver's eyes sharpened as he swiftly pressed his right hand forward in the air.
Swish! Swish!
Two Space Gates opened almost simultaneously.
One materialized directly in the path of the four lethal spider leg venom-tips as they assaulted the group.
The other quietly bloomed mere meters behind Imu herself.
In the next instant, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The four lightning-fast, unstoppable spider leg venom-tips passed unimpeded through the first Space Gate, and then—
Thwip!
It actually pierced through from the Space Gate behind Imu himself!
It struck solidly into Imu's own massive Ushi-oni torso.
"You're... mocking me—"
The moment the words fell, a red light flashed in Imu's eyes as he unleashed his God-Tier Conqueror's Haki at full power.
Raiver sensed the danger and instantly teleported away, vanishing without a trace.
Almost exactly 0.1 seconds after Raiver disappeared—
BZZZZ—!!!
Imu's overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, like a solidified wave of dark red lightning, tore through that space, completely submerging and annihilating the spot where Raiver had just been standing!
The residual Haki shockwave surged in a fan-shaped arc, violently sweeping toward the Rocks Fleet high in the sky.
