#287 - Chapter 287: Detonating Mary Joa
Jin stood on the roof of the building closest to the prison.
The surrounding bright lights reflected his figure, making him appear exceptionally tall and magnificent.
The night wind blew through his black hair, and his eyes revealed a hint of coldness and disdain.
"As an opening, fireworks are still the best way to attract attention."
He muttered to himself, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
As he spoke, he took out a detonator switch from his pocket, his finger hovering over the switch for a moment, as if savoring the tension and anticipation of this moment.
With the power of the Door-Door Fruit, he was practically in a no-man's-land in Mary Geoise, and placing explosives was as simple as could be.
At this moment, his finger finally pressed the switch.
"Rumble!!!"
As Jin pressed the switch, a huge roar exploded in Mary Geoise.
Dozens of plumes of smoke generated by the explosion quickly rose to the sky, illuminating the entire Holy Land with firelight.
He stood on the roof, watching this scene, his brow slightly furrowed.
"Tch, only this many exploded successfully."
He was slightly dissatisfied, knowing that Mary Geoise was home to many experts, some of whom must have Observation Haki that had reached the point of predicting the future, but he was still somewhat disappointed that only four-fifths of them exploded.
He tightened his grip on the detonator, his eyes scanning the surrounding chaos with eagle-like sharpness.
The residents and nobles of Mary Geoise were panicked by the explosions, fleeing in all directions, trying to find a safe place.
Soldiers were also being mobilized urgently, trying to control the situation, but they were clearly in complete disarray.
"Forget it, the fireworks are just for fun, next it's time to make this so-called 'Holy Land' chaotic."
He said coldly, then disappeared from the spot in a flash.
His figure darted between buildings like a ghost, using the power of the Door-Door Fruit to quickly pass through obstacles.
He arrived in front of a luxurious palace, where a World Noble of extremely high status lived.
Jin knew that true chaos needed to start from the center of power.
He stood on the high wall of the palace, looking down at the guards and servants below, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
His hand reached into his pocket again, this time for a small bomb.
He silently placed the bomb in a key position in the palace, then quickly left.
"I wonder how many people will notice this time,"
He chuckled softly, his figure disappearing into the night again.
As the sound of his footsteps faded away, a loud bang came from inside the palace, and flames soared into the sky, instantly engulfing the entire palace in a sea of fire.
Explosions continued to sound in the distance, and the whole of Mary Geoise seemed to be plunged into a carnival of doom.
Jin stood on a tall tower in the distance, overlooking this chaotic Holy Land, a sense of unspeakable pleasure surging in his heart.
At this moment, he knew that he had successfully shaken the core of this world.
"This is just the beginning,"
He said in a low voice, his eyes flashing with a firm light,
"Next, the real change will come."
The impact of the explosions in Mary Geoise shook the entire Holy Land.
Jin's "fireworks" completely shattered the usual tranquility and order here.
The sound of explosions echoed through the silent night sky, and the continuous tremors made the earth seem to tremble.
Magnificent buildings collapsed in the explosions, setting off raging fires, and acrid smoke filled the air.
Precious works of art were shaken off and shattered, and the gilded halls were reduced to rubble.
Several huge gaps were blown open in the high walls of the Holy Land, and stones and debris flew everywhere.
The World Nobles and their servants were terrified, screams and cries mixed together, and the whole of Mary Geoise became noisy and unbearable.
The nobles' usually lofty posture was completely gone at this moment, and they fled in panic everywhere.
Some even knelt on the ground and prayed to the gods for protection, some rushed to safety at all costs, and others pushed each other, trying to escape from this collapsing hell.
"Quick! Protect the World Nobles!"
The soldiers hurriedly gathered, trying to organize a defense, but they themselves were frightened by the explosions and chaos.
Many people were pale and trembling, and even under the roar of the commanders, they still seemed at a loss.
Some of them even forgot their duties and only cared about saving their own lives.
In the upper echelons of Mary Geoise, several of the Five Elders immediately convened an emergency meeting, their faces gloomy.
They saw the devastated Holy Land through the surveillance screens, and anger and worry were intertwined in their hearts.
"This is a provocation to us!"
Topman Warcury was furious, slamming his fist heavily on the table,
"We must find the culprit immediately!"
Marcus Mars showed a little more composure, but his tone was also full of cold killing intent,
"Immediately seal off all entrances and exits, mobilize all troops, and arrest any suspicious persons without any mistakes."
The explosion triggered even greater chaos.
Loyal guards engaged in fierce battles with the sudden attackers.
The streets were filled with the sounds of fighting and the clashing of metal weapons.
Jin darted through the chaos, his figure as fast as lightning, his sword flashing, and enemies fell wherever he went.
There was no trace of pity on his face, only cold determination.
"Protect the Holy Land!"
A commander roared, waving his saber and charging towards Jin, but Jin dodged lightly, and with a backhand strike, the commander fell to the ground.
The Five Elders discussed countermeasures nervously, their faces more serious than ever before.
Suddenly, a loud bang interrupted their meeting, the door of the conference room was forcibly pushed open, and a guard stumbled in, his face pale and covered in blood.
"Report! The attacker is approaching here!"
The guard's voice trembled,
"Our people can't hold them back anymore!"
Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro snorted coldly and stood up,
"We will take action ourselves."
Just then, Jin, who was cutting down enemies outside the flower room, realized that he had attracted the attention of the Five Elders.
A cold smile appeared under his mask.
He quickly ran away into the distance.
The Five Elders' faces instantly turned ashen, their Observation Haki keenly capturing the fleeting aura outside.
This sudden interference annoyed them greatly.
After exchanging a firm look with each other, the five people jumped up at the same time, their figures turning into five swift shadows, and instantly chased after him.
Jin felt the powerful aura behind him as he ran, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth,
"They've taken the bait."
He knew that only by luring the Five Elders away could he complete his even grander performance on this trip.
He accelerated, his body darting between buildings like the wind, deftly dodging any possible obstacles.
Just as the Five Elders were chasing closely, Jin suddenly stopped abruptly, instantly opened a door, and disappeared into the door.
The door closed quickly behind him, leaving the Five Elders stunned in place.
The five were momentarily stunned, but immediately re-mobilized their Observation Haki, sensing Jin's aura.
Within their perception range, the aura of the guy who created the chaos disappeared strangely.
