#541 - Chapter 541: The Pained Dignity

Jaygarcia Saturn gritted his teeth and raised his hand to summon a destructive energy barrier to block the shockwave. Although he blocked the direct attack, his face became even more unsightly.

"Why isn't that giant Loki moving? What is he waiting for?"

Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro roared, his eyes flashing with unease.

His gaze frequently swept towards Loki at the edge of the battlefield.

However, Loki didn't respond at all. His eyes were fixed coldly on the Five Elders, the warhammer in his hand as still as a mountain, but its deterrent force was becoming increasingly powerful.

"We can't delay any longer, we must make a quick decision!"

Shepherd Ju Peter leaped from the ground, transforming into a whirlwind of sand and rushing towards Whitebeard.

His speed was as swift as lightning, but Whitebeard's blade accurately captured his trajectory with each swing, directly slicing horizontally, and the sand instantly shattered.

"You are too weak."

Whitebeard sneered, his massive figure like a moving iron wall, his power intimidating the entire field.

On the other side, Jin'an's figure weaved through the Five Elders like a swimming dragon.

In his Azure Dragon Zoan form, every swing of his blade carried a suffocating sharpness, accompanied by slight spatial distortions, making it impossible for the Five Elders to capture his trajectory.

At this moment, Loki finally moved.

He raised his warhammer, and the ancient runes engraved on the hammer body flashed with intense light.

His target was not the Five Elders, but the World Government's high-level combatants around them.

"It's time to clear away some unnecessary troubles."

Loki's deep voice was like thunder, and then he suddenly swung down his warhammer, the huge impact directly setting off a devastating storm, sweeping away all enemies who tried to reinforce the Five Elders.

"Did this guy hide his true strength before?"

"How can he be so strong!?"

A flaw finally appeared in the Five Elders' line of defense.

They subconsciously ignored the fact that they were able to capture Loki and those giants earlier only because they were fighting among themselves, and they just got lucky.

"Damn it!!!"

Jaygarcia Saturn's face was extremely ugly. He tried his best to resist Jin'an's horizontal slash, but was forced to retreat several steps, revealing an opening as his figure swayed.

And at this instant, Jin'an's blade had already arrived in front of him.

"It's over."

Jin'an's voice was indifferent and ruthless, the blade cutting through the air, aiming straight for his chest.

At the same time, Whitebeard swung his blade again, his attack crashing down like thunder, blasting two other Five Elders dozens of meters away.

"Charge!!!"

"Drive these damn guys out!!!"

The giants' roar resounded through the sky, the morale of the New Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates was high, and the balance of the battle had completely tilted towards Jin'an's side.

"No!!!"

Jaygarcia Saturn's roar was mixed with disbelief and fear, his body falling apart after being pierced by Jin'an's blade, the remains scattered on the ground.

Although he was trying to recover, the broken limbs were slow and difficult, as if they were stuck in a swamp.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! You weren't using your full strength before?!"

His voice trembled with anger and fear, his eyes fixed on Jin'an.

Jin'an stared at him coldly, without saying a word, the aura of his Azure Dragon form still enveloping the battlefield like raging waves.

His eyes were like an invisible sharp blade, piercing through the opponent's psychological defense.

"It seems that your immortality is about to fail."

Jin'an said in a low voice, his words revealing a bone-chilling confidence.

The tip of the blade he held tightly in his hand trembled slightly, like a beast ready to pounce.

"Guraarararara!"

Whitebeard let out a hearty laugh, clenching his fists and hammering them hard on the space in front of him.

In an instant, a chilling cracking sound rang out in the air, a sight of space being torn apart by powerful force.

Fine cracks spread out from under his fists, quickly expanding to the entire battlefield.

"Since your immortality is about to break, then I'll add more fuel to the fire!"

Whitebeard's voice was like thunder, his Haki boiling to the extreme, the shocking power rushing towards the location of the Five Elders.

The shockwave carried a destructive power, wherever it went, the ground cracked, boulders flew, as if even the earth was groaning.

The entire Elbaf was like being overturned by an invisible force, the earth trembling violently, as if the end was coming.

The figures of the Five Elders were shaken and staggered under this terrifying force. Even though they tried desperately to steady themselves, the expression on their faces could not hide their horror.

"These powers... have exceeded our expectations!"

Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro gritted his teeth, trying to swing his sword to resist the shockwave, but the sword energy was completely annihilated the moment it touched the shockwave.

Shepherd Ju Peter's sandworm form lurked underground, but the vibration directly acted on his body through the ground, causing him to be blasted out from the ground and fall to the ground in a mess.

"No, this is impossible..."

Jaygarcia Saturn's voice was low and trembling.

Although his body was recovering, the speed at which the cracks spread on him was faster than healing. Every vibration caused him to break apart again.

"We are gods! How could we be forced to this point by you humans?!"

Marcus Mars roared, his wings shaking as he soared into the sky, trying to avoid the joint pressure from Whitebeard and Jin'an, but he found that he still couldn't escape the invisible pressure in the sky.

Jin'an's eyes were cold, his figure suddenly disappeared again, and the next second he appeared in front of Jaygarcia Saturn.

"The so-called gods are just a group of ridiculous puppets."

He said in a low voice, the blade flashed with cold light, and a bloody mark instantly appeared on the opponent's chest.

With this heavy blow, Jaygarcia Saturn's body disintegrated again, this time clearly recovering more slowly than before.

"This play is coming to an end."

Jin'an's voice was low, revealing an undeniable power.

The shockwave gradually subsided, but the situation on the battlefield had completely reversed.

"Old man is mighty!!!"

"We will be victorious!!!"

The figures of the Five Elders were in a terrible state, while the New Navy, the Whitebeard Pirates, and the giants were greatly encouraged, and shouts rose one after another.

Jin'an and Whitebeard stood in the center of the battlefield, standing tall like undefeated war gods.

Loki watched coldly, his warhammer raised high, ready to deliver the final blow at any time.

The faces of the Five Elders became more and more gloomy, and they had realized that the battle had tilted towards an irreversible ending.

The huge figures of the Five Elders were destroyed one after another, and each heavy blow made their recovery more and more slow, and the breath that was originally like a god has now obviously weakened a lot.

Jaygarcia Saturn gasped, covered in a mess, he looked at his chest, where the cracks had not completely healed, as if every inch was stinging his dignity.
