Chapter 1173: Vientiane - Thunder Welcome

"Old man, please stop blocking my way!" Ace shouted loudly. Although he was very conflicted, he still couldn't make up his mind to attack Garp. So he could only take Garp's powerful punch.

There was a dull "bang" sound, and Ace flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. He flew more than ten meters before falling heavily to the ground.

Looking at Ace who was knocked away by his punch, Garp couldn't help but gasp heavily. He was not feeling well at the moment. Many wounds on his body burst open again because of the force of the punch just now. Blood gushed out, staining his originally white military uniform bright red. But there was no pain on his face. Instead, it was full of complex emotions - worry about the safety of his grandson, and the helplessness and determination to fulfill his duties as a soldier.

Taking advantage of this gap, the navy soldiers successfully carried the wounded to the teleportation array not far away. As long as they took a few more steps forward, they could escape from here through the teleportation array.

But at this critical moment, lightning suddenly flashed in the sky, and dazzling lightning streaked across the sky. Then, in the dense lightning, a tall figure could be vaguely seen slowly emerging. Upon closer inspection, it was Enelu who possessed the powerful natural ability of the Lightning Fruit!

"Run away quickly! It will be too late if you don't escape now!" a sailor shouted in horror.

"Everyone, hurry up and get out of this damn place!" Another sailor waved his arms anxiously, urging his companions to speed up.

"Marshal Zhan Guo, you must hold on! As long as we can get back alive, there is still hope!" A loyal subordinate supported the injured Marshal Zhan Guo tightly, his eyes full of worry and concern.

"Master Five Elders, please rest assured. Even if we have to use up our last bit of strength, we will definitely rescue you!" Several more navy officers shouted in unison, their faces revealing firm determination.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the teleportation array that could bring life, the navy couldn't help but feel a strong hope in their hearts. However, at this critical moment, the lightning in the sky flashed more and more frequently, as if foreshadowing that a greater disaster was about to come.

Suddenly, a cold and majestic voice came from the sky: "Wanxiang!"

This voice was like an oracle from the sky, making everyone's heart sink suddenly.

As the shout rang out, the originally dark and gloomy sky was instantly illuminated by dazzling light, and the dazzling electric light illuminated the entire space like daylight.

Immediately afterwards, an enormous ball of lightning smashed the dark clouds.

It was flashing with terrifying purple arcs of electricity all over, and every flash was accompanied by a deafening thunder.

This ball of lightning is like a doomsday star falling from the sky, emitting endless pressure and aura of destruction. It makes people feel creepy and terrified just by looking at it.

"Lei Ying!" As an angry roar sounded, it seemed as if the whole heaven and earth were shaking.

"Buzz~~~~" The lightning ball that was originally quietly suspended in the air suddenly burst into a dazzling light, like a bright star suddenly lit up. The strong light was like countless sharp swords, piercing straight into everyone's eyes, causing everyone present to stop involuntarily and subconsciously close their eyes tightly, for fear of being burned by the light.

At this time, Zaire Saint, who was standing not far away, witnessed this scene with a look of despair on his face. He knew in his heart that he had no power to resist such a terrifying force. Fear surged into his heart like a tide, and a thought flashed wildly in his mind - escape! He must escape from this terrible place as soon as possible!

However, at this critical moment, in just a short second, the lightning ball fell down with the force of thunder. It carried the energy of destroying the world, like a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth opened, and rushed directly towards the direction where Saint Zaire was. In the blink of an eye, the huge lightning ball hit the ground fiercely, accompanied by a loud noise and billowing smoke and dust, and directly swallowed up half of the Baista Island where Saint Zaire was located. For a moment, lightning and thunder, flames shot up into the sky, and the whole island fell into a doomsday scene.
