The indifferent words, bordering on apathy, caused everyone below to tense up.
A miracle did not occur. Even after arriving at Marine Headquarters, even with almost the strongest fighting force of the entire Marines below him, he still uttered these words, completely disregarding the Marines.
"This is Marine Headquarters!" Sengoku finally spoke, even though he didn't want to say it at all.
This was originally a matter that could be resolved with a few Devil Fruits.
If possible, he really wanted to resolve it that way.
But it couldn't be done, because the eyes of the entire world were focused here.
If he really did that, the result would definitely be the Marines losing face and being unable to hold their heads up in front of the pirates. After all, this was a matter of dignity.
As Sengoku's words fell, all the Marines felt a jolt in their hearts.
Then many became nervous, gripping their weapons tightly, staring intently at the figure in the sky, afraid that he would make a move.
Even Garp, Z, and the future three Admirals were nervous.
Among these people, although everyone except Sakazuki had never seen Hui in action, Hui's battle record was simply too formidable. He was someone who had defeated Fleet Admiral Kong with a single punch!
What kind of power this was, something they simply couldn't imagine.
Because when they faced Fleet Admiral Kong, the most they could do was achieve a stalemate. Even the future three Admirals couldn't achieve a stalemate, after all, they hadn't fully matured yet and hadn't reached their peak strength.
"I know this is Marine Headquarters. So, will you hand over the Devil Fruits, or face annihilation?" Hui spoke in a flat tone, causing Sengoku's body to stiffen.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Because he knew that his next sentence might trigger a slaughter. It was even possible that his next sentence would lead to the annihilation of the entire Marines.
Therefore, this was simply too heavy a burden.
"We choose the third option: to arrest you!" Suddenly, another voice rang out.
The words spoken startled everyone.
They looked over and saw four people slowly approaching from the side.
This was... the Five Elders! These were the remaining four of the Five Elders!
Everyone was shocked; even Sengoku hadn't expected these four to arrive.
Although he had requested assistance from the World Government, he never thought that the remaining four Five Elders would personally intervene.
And not only them, behind the Five Elders, more people continued to emerge. They came out of a spatial gate.
Soon, hundreds of people emerged from the spatial gate.
These people were all powerhouses of the World Government, almost all of them at the Admiral level.
"Calling yourself God, harming the Celestial Dragons, killing the Fleet Admiral, killing one of the five elders, you are truly guilty of heinous, unforgivable crimes,!"
One of the Five Elders spoke, listing Hui's crimes. He looked at Hui without any panic, as if Hui's battle record was fake.
There was actually a reason for this.
The Marines had almost no one with Spatial Devil Fruit abilities, but the World Government did.
In Hui's last battle, when he defeated Fleet Admiral Kong with one punch, the World Government knew that he had used spatial abilities.
Similarly, the method he used to kill the elder also utilized spatial abilities.
Therefore, this person's strength was not as strong as everyone imagined.
Because space was inherently strange and truly possessed the ability to instantly kill ordinary people.
However, as long as they knew his ability, there were ways to counter it.
For a year and a half, they had been secretly preparing, just to be able to kill Hui with one strike.
"So?" Hui remained indifferent, even though he felt the space around him solidify.
With the space in this state, If it were an ordinary Spatial Devil Fruit user, would find it very difficult to use their abilities.
And this was the World Government's confidence in dealing with Hui.
It was a pity that they simply didn't know how powerful the person they were facing truly was. This was completely someone whose existence far surpassed theirs.
"So? You think having spatial abilities makes you invincible? How naive! Feel the space around you carefully. Now, do you still have this confidence?"
Indeed.
Another of the Five Elder spoke, reminding Hui to sense his surroundings.
As soon as these words came out, many people were startled. Then, they became delighted.
For a Spatial Devil Fruit user, once they couldn't use their spatial abilities, their strength would inevitably be greatly reduced. In that case, perhaps they could slay a god today.
Hearing this, Hui laughed.
"There are always some people in this world who define the strength of others based on their own understanding. The saying 'a frog in a well' is nothing more than this. Since you are so confident, then I'll play with you today. I hope you can entertain me and not lose too early."
Hui spoke, his words utterly arrogant, disregarding everyone present.
"Arrogant!"
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, someone couldn't help themselves.
He threw a punch at Hui, and terrifying lightning appeared, striking towards Hui. It seemed to be the user of the Goro Goro no Mi, or perhaps another Lightning-type Devil Fruit.
But Hui wasn't interested in this.
Facing the lightning attack, Hui raised his hand, and a terrifying lightning dragon flew out from his hand, pouncing towards the lightning.
The lightning devil fruit user was only a single, thin, and long streak. But this lightning dragon was also only one, but it was as thick as a pillar.
No matter how you looked at it, there was a huge difference between the two.
And the truth was exactly so.
The lightning dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the lightning in one gulp, turning it into a part of its body.
And the lightning dragon didn't stop, its claws and teeth bared, roaring ferociously as it lunged towards the person who used the lightning.
This scene instantly changed the expression of the Lightning Devil Fruit user. He never imagined that the person in the sky could also use the power of lightning.
Moreover, the other party's control over the power of lightning seemed to be higher than his!
But there was no time to think, he could only use his ability again, exerting all his strength to control numerous lightning bolts to stop the terrifying lightning dragon. The battle between the lightning dragon and the lightning continued for several seconds.
When the energy of both sides dissipated, the Lightning Devil Fruit user was already drenched in sweat, his entire body looking as if he was about to collapse.
"It's been a while since I've used lightning. It reminds me of two techniques I used to throw around, one called Divine Judgement, the other called Heaven's Calamity.
"Today, let's revive them. There are so many people here, so let's all experience a Calamity together." Hui spoke, his words making the people below feel uneasy.
However, before they could say anything, they saw Hui raise his hand again, and in the next moment, the sky changed.
The sky, which had just been clear and sunny, quickly gathered dark clouds. These dark clouds were as black as ink, with thunder and lightning flashing within them.
"What is this guy going to do?!" Someone couldn't help but shout, a very bad feeling rising in their heart.
Actually, i Hui found these people quite interesting. His previous action was clearly a prelude to a terrifying storm.
Yet, among so many strong people below, no one took the initiative to interrupt him.
But it didn't matter, let them be baptized by lightning.
"Heaven's Calamity!"
