Seeing the Five Elders being blocked one after another by his people, Rowan did not stop. He walked straight toward the deepest part of Pangaea Castle.
He was going to meet Imu.
Medea, Medusa, Cu Chulainn, Heracles, King Hassan, Heroic Spirit Emiya, Nero, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Yamato, and the others followed close behind.
Nico Robin steadily held the Den Den Mushi, broadcasting Rowan's actions to the entire world.
All across the world, everyone watched Rowan without blinking, wanting to see what else he would do.
At the same time, inside the Room of Flowers—
Seeing the Five Elders being tied down, Imu could not help snorting coldly.
A bunch of useless trash.
But at the same time, Imu was also curious. Where exactly had this man come from? Not only could he gather so many people, he could even attack the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
This was something that had never happened in eight hundred years.
However, this group was still not qualified to meet him.
Imu raised a hand. A magic book appeared out of thin air. He opened the book, and a pentagram magic circle appeared above the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Immediately after, the members of the God's Knights, whom the Five Elders had already sent out to support Marineford, were summoned back.
This group was instantly transferred in front of Rowan and the others, blocking their path.
"Kill them."
Imu's voice echoed in the minds of every member of the God's Knights.
The Supreme Commander of the God's Knights, Saint Figarland Garling, looked coldly at Rowan's group.
"A group of rebels. You all deserve death!!!"
The moment his words fell, he was nailed to the ground by a spear.
The one who acted was Cu Chulainn.
Ever since they had stepped onto the Holy Land Mary Geoise, one powerful opponent after another had been snatched up by others, and Cu Chulainn had long been itching for a fight. So when he saw Saint Garling this time, Cu Chulainn attacked without hesitation.
First, teleportation.
Then, a thrust.
His speed was so fast that even Saint Garling could not react. Cu Chulainn pierced his heart with one spear and pinned him firmly to the ground.
However, Cu Chulainn knew this guy was not dead.
Not only the Five Elders—the entire God's Knights also possessed immortal bodies.
So that spear strike just now would not take Garling's life.
But that suited Cu Chulainn just fine. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to fight someone to his heart's content.
"You talk too much. Come fight me, bastard."
On the other side, Saint Figarland Shamrock saw his father nailed to the ground by a spear and flew into a rage.
Although he knew his father would not die, that way of being injured was far too humiliating.
This man before him had completely trampled the dignity of the Celestial Dragons into the dirt. That was what he could not tolerate.
"Arrogant fool! Die!"
Saint Shamrock suddenly drew his sword. But before he could even swing it, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of him.
A red light flashed.
Shamrock discovered that he had been beheaded.
His head fell to the ground with a thud.
"Umu. As expected, I am the best."
The one who acted was Nero. She had also eaten the Warp-Warp Fruit, and her speed was not inferior to Cu Chulainn's in the slightest.
The Primordial Flame in her hand was a famous demonic sword. Taking advantage of an enemy's unpreparedness and beheading them was no issue at all.
Unfortunately, the God's Knights all had immortal bodies. This level of injury could not do anything to Saint Shamrock.
It would only make him even angrier.
"Lowly ant. Do you think this is enough to kill me? How naive."
Saint Shamrock forced Nero back with one sword swing, picked up his own head, and pressed it back onto his neck. Violent killing intent filled every inch of the surrounding space.
Equally furious were the other members of the God's Knights.
The Holy Land had been destroyed to this extent. As members of the God's Knights, how could they stand by and do nothing?
Saint Rimoshifu Killingham raised both hands and roared, "Lowly scum, your nightmare has arrived."
This guy possessed the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Kirin.
This fruit's user could transform into a kirin, fire beams that put targets to sleep, and then turn the things inside their dreams into reality from the dream-cloud above their heads.
This ability could hypnotize multiple people at once and turn opponents into puppets after putting them to sleep.
In addition, he could summon large numbers of nightmare monsters from nightmares.
These monsters would not die. Even if defeated, they could be reborn from the nightmare cavern.
Of course, Rowan's group naturally would not be hypnotized by Saint Killingham, nor would they fear a member of the God's Knights.
But right now, the Holy Land Mary Geoise was a battlefield everywhere.
Explosions, sounds of battle, and sounds of destruction rang endlessly.
The Celestial Dragons, who had once stood high above everyone else, now trembled like quails, hiding in corners and staring in terror at what was happening before their eyes.
For Saint Killingham, these people were the best materials.
Using the nightmares of the Celestial Dragons, Saint Killingham activated his ability and summoned a large number of nightmare monsters from dreams into the real world.
One bizarre monster after another continuously emerged from the ground.
They charged toward Rowan's group one after another.
At the same time, King Hassan slowly raised the greatsword in his hand and pointed it at Saint Killingham.
A low voice, filled with killing intent, echoed through the air.
"The evening bell has tolled, revealing your fate."
"Villain, release your soul."
The next second, the Grand Assassin appeared in front of Saint Killingham. Before the other party could even recover, King Hassan split him in two with one sword.
Saint Killingham—dead!
At first, the other members of the God's Knights did not care. After all, they all possessed immortal bodies. Whether they were beheaded, cut in half at the waist, or split in two, none of that could kill them.
However, one minute passed.
Then two minutes passed.
Saint Killingham showed not the slightest sign of recovery.
This shocked many members of the God's Knights.
Saint Shepherd Sommers roared, "Hey, hey, hey! What the hell are you doing? Hurry up and stand, Killingham!"
However, no matter how he urged him, Killingham never stood back up.
"Stop shouting. That guy is completely dead."
Rowan said calmly.
Who was King Hassan?
He was a Grand Assassin, a monster who, after abandoning his Spirit Origin, could even bestow the concept of death upon the primordial goddess Tiamat.
How could a mere member of the God's Knights withstand King Hassan's greatsword?
Not to mention, King Hassan had previously eaten the Warp-Warp Fruit and the Soul-Soul Fruit.
This sword strike cut both flesh and soul.
So what if they had immortal bodies?
Physical immortality was not the same as soul immortality.
With that sword, King Hassan had split not only Killingham's body, but even his soul in two. What was he supposed to use to revive?
Even if Imu was powerful, it was impossible to resurrect a dead soul.
Although the members of the God's Knights were unwilling to believe Rowan's words, the ironclad facts were laid out before them.
Killingham was truly dead. He would never revive again.
This instantly panicked the members of the God's Knights, who had originally relied on their immortal bodies.
Since King Hassan had chosen to act, he naturally would not show mercy. After killing Killingham, he set his sights on another member of the God's Knights: Saint Shepherd Sommers.
This guy was a Thorn Human who had eaten the Thorn-Thorn Fruit. He could create large amounts of thorns, forming thorn clubs, whips, and so on.
However, these flashy tricks were no different from a child's games before King Hassan.
King Hassan teleported to this man's left side and slashed out.
Although Saint Shepherd Sommers reacted immediately and formed a shield out of thorns, trying to block King Hassan's strike, the truth proved that he could not.
Even though his thorns were already covered in Armament Haki, they were still cut apart by King Hassan's sword.
Not only the shield, but the man himself as well.
"Monster…"
Saint Shepherd Sommers stared at King Hassan in disbelief.
Those words became his final last words.
With two members of the God's Knights killed one after another, panic immediately spread through the entire order.
"Everyone, attack! Kill him!"
"We must kill him!"
The members of the God's Knights boiled over and attacked King Hassan with all their strength, planning to first eliminate this person who could destroy their immortality.
However, at that moment, Medusa raised her head and casually glanced at them.
Mystic Eyes of Petrification—activated!
With that one glance, aside from King Hassan, every member of the God's Knights caught in her gaze was petrified.
Without exception.
Medusa's Mystic Eyes of Petrification could only be resisted by those with A-rank Magic Resistance.
As for the members of the God's Knights, forget A-rank Magic Resistance—they did not even have magical energy.
They simply could not withstand Medusa's Mystic Eyes of Petrification.
No matter how powerful an immortal body was, it was only a passive ability. It could be petrified. It could also be sealed.
Therefore, when Medusa used her Mystic Eyes of Petrification, none of them escaped disaster. Including the Commander, all of them were petrified.
Haki was completely useless before the Mystic Eyes of Petrification.
Although Haki and magical energy might both be manifestations of life energy in some form, not everyone was Rowan, capable of converting Haki into magical energy and magical energy into Haki.
Being petrified was only natural.
This was magic delivering a dimensional strike against the One Piece world.
The instant the God's Knights were petrified, the entire world fell silent.
Garp, Sengoku, Shanks, Whitebeard, Doflamingo, Boa Hancock…
Every single one of them felt a chill rise through their bodies.
The more someone understood the God's Knights, the more unbelievable this felt.
Because they knew all too well how powerful and terrifying the God's Knights were.
And yet now, that terrifying order had almost been completely wiped out.
Only Garling and Shamrock, father and son, were still stubbornly resisting.
But everyone knew their defeat was only a matter of time.
Could it be that the World Government, which had ruled this world for eight hundred years, and the Celestial Dragons, who had once stood high above everyone else…
were truly going to perish?
