"Your Majesty!!!" The giants knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.
The giant Vice Admirals among the Marines also took off their helmets and bowed their heads in silence.
Their tears fell on the blood-soaked earth, mixing with Harald's blood.
"We will definitely fulfill your final wish!"
"Elbaf will definitely join the World Government!!"
"We promise!!!"
The giants cried, shouted, and swore to their dead king.
Makoto watched this scene, utterly speechless.
He was genuinely curious how a powerhouse who could be said to surpass Emperor-level could be such a simp.
'Could he really not see the World Government's true nature?'
Makoto shook his head, no longer thinking about it.
However, just as he was about to turn around—
"You dare kill His Majesty—" A roar came from among the giants.
An iron-masked giant Vice Admiral, losing his mind, charged at the Complete Body Susanoo.
His eyes were bloodshot, the iron mask on his face reflecting cold light. He gripped a giant weapon with both hands and swung it at the waist of the Complete Body Susanoo.
Makoto glanced at him.
'Wasn't this 'Opening-kun'?'
He hadn't expected him to have joined the Marines this early.
Yes, this giant Vice Admiral was the same one who, in the future at the Battle of Marineford, attacked Whitebeard… at the time of his sneak attack, he had shouted, "Whitebeard, you've left yourself open!"
Although Makoto didn't quite understand what opening he had seen in Whitebeather-
But being able to approach Whitebeard, who was at the rear of the battlefield, silently with such a large body was also a skill.
Facing the charging 'Opening-kun', Makoto couldn't even be bothered to swing his sword.
The giant palm of the Complete Body Susanoo reached out, pinched Lonz's iron mask helmet, and held his entire head in its grasp.
Then—
With a gentle squeeze,
Crack.
Lonz's head exploded in the giant palm.
Blood and brain matter sprayed from the gaps in the iron mask helmet. His giant body, now headless, crashed to the ground.
Given the huge size difference, it was like an adult crushing a child.
"Lonz!!!" The other giants called out 'Opening-kun's' name, grief-stricken.
But this time, no one charged again.
They knelt beside Lonz's corpse, tears streaming down their faces, but they didn't dare look again at that grey-black giant.
That man was just too terrifying.
Also shocked were the Roger Pirates, still locked in the prison cart.
Roger stood behind the bars, looking up at that sky-obscuring grey-black giant, his expression extremely complex.
He remembered the scene over a month ago, fighting Makoto on Malad Island.
Back then, Makoto had used Susanoo, but not the Complete Body.
Back then, Roger had thought that was Makoto's full strength.
Now he understood—
Makoto hadn't used his full power at all.
That man had been playing from the very beginning.
"Roger..." Gaban's voice was a little hoarse.
"I know." Roger interrupted him.
He didn't continue.
The Complete Body Susanoo raised the chainsaw.
The chainsaw fell.
Boom!!!
The Yarukiman Mangroves-
Those giant mangrove trees, towering into the clouds with canopies that blocked out the sun, fell one after another under the chainsaw's edge.
The sound of trunks breaking was like thunder. As the branches and leaves fell, they kicked up huge waves of air, sweeping dust and gravel into the sky.
The entire Sabaody Archipelago felt the tremors.
Countless people ran out of their homes, looking up at the falling Yarukiman Mangroves, dumbfounded.
"What's happening?"
"An earthquake?"
"No… look over there! What is that?!"
People in nearby areas pointed towards Grove 66. That grey-black giant stood there like a god, casting a huge shadow in the sunlight.
The entire island's population was terrified.
Mary Geoise.
The Room of Flowers.
Imu sat in the empty hall, sweating profusely, as if possessed by [Sweating King].
Although the power unleashed by the Complete Body Susanoo wasn't beyond his imagination, the fact that this level of power was not under his control made Imu feel extremely uneasy.
He was silent for a moment.
Then, his will crossed the vast distance and descended upon Nusjuro.
Sabaody Archipelago.
Grove 66.
Nusjuro's body suddenly stiffened.
His gaze changed… from the previous gloom and anger to an empty calm.
"Enough."
The voice was a mixture of Nusjuro's own voice and another, deeper, more indescribable voice.
It had a kind of duet quality.
The Marines were stunned.
They looked at 'Nusjuro', no, now he should be called 'Nusjuro possessed by something'… their eyes full of confusion.
'Why did that Five Elder's tone seem different from before? As if he was being controlled.'
Tsuru frowned deeply.
In her understanding, the Five Elders were the highest rulers of the World Government.
How could there be anyone else capable of controlling a Five Elder?
She didn't dare think further.
Nusjuro, possessed by Imu, looked up at the Complete Body Susanoo.
"Accept the deal." Imu's voice was as calm as water. "The Magma-Magma Fruit, the Shodai Kitetsu, the Rokushiki training manual… I can give you all of it."
Makoto looked down at Nusjuro in this state. After two seconds... he smiled.
"Too late."
Makoto's voice came from the forehead of Susanoo, carrying a hint of mockery.
"You think this paltry offering can satisfy my appetite?"
In his previous life, once a party to a deal defaulted, they had to pay compensation for losses.
Now that both sides had completely fallen out, you still want to negotiate a peace with the same terms as before?
Dream on.
Imu was silent.
He hadn't been talked back to like this in hundreds of years.
But considering the power Makoto had displayed, and the fact that the Sabaody Archipelago was far too close to Mary Geoise-
He reluctantly swallowed his anger.
"...What do you want?"
Makoto smiled.
A very bright smile.
"You come over here, let my subordinates have some fun, and have Morgans take a few photos."
"Then I might reluctantly accept your apology."
Although he wasn't yet sure whether Imu was male or female… it didn't matter, since his subordinates weren't picky.
At these words,
The Four Gay Bros erupted in cheers.
"Long live Boss!"
"Long live!"
The four danced and gestured, their smiles reaching peak lewdness.
And Imu, possessing Nusjuro, was now furious beyond measure.
He never expected that these people really wanted to physically collide with him!!!
