NOVEL NEXT Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Destroying the base and its island in entirety
"Zephyr…"
"Damn it!!!"
Amidst the ruins, Black Bear and Iron Bone barely dodged the devastating slashes. Their disheveled appearances mirrored their shock and dismay.
They hadn't expected Zephyr to step in at such a critical moment, only to be ruthlessly overpowered and left gravely injured, his fate uncertain.
"What a disappointment…"
El's voice carried an air of mockery as he stood, unbothered by the Admirals. His calm demeanor betrayed his overwhelming power.
His sharp gaze shifted to the bloodied Silver Axe and John, along with Wang Zhi, who had narrowly avoided injury thanks to his Teleportation Fruit abilities.
All three, barely in their thirties, had yet to reach their prime. To El, they were too inexperienced to provide any real challenge.
Among them, Wang Zhi displayed the most potential. His teleportation ability made him unpredictable and difficult to corner. Still, even he fell short of reaching the level of true monsters like Black Bear or Iron Bone.
"You bastard…"
Silver Axe, John, and Wang Zhi glared at El, their faces dark with frustration. They gritted their teeth but could not refute his words.
El's strength was beyond terrifying. Without others to distract him, none of them stood a chance. Wang Zhi might be able to escape with his teleportation, but for Silver Axe and John, defeat—or death—was certain.
"Enough… the warm-up is over."
El shrugged nonchalantly, sheathing his ornate sword, Jiaolong.
"Now, it's time to get serious."
His tone turned cold as he continued,
"If you think you can stop me from destroying this island, feel free to try."
With that, El's body began to transform visibly.
"ROAR!!!"
A thunderous roar echoed across the sea as El morphed into his Quetzalcoatl form. His colossal, serpent-like body blotted out the sky, exuding overwhelming power.
"Don't let him succeed!!!"
Black Bear and Iron Bone shouted, their faces pale with dread.
Meanwhile, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and John hesitated. They had already done enough to avoid the World Government's ire, but risking their lives against such a monstrous being for a mere Shichibukai title seemed absurd.
Their survival instincts screamed louder than their pride.
"BOOM… BOOM…"
The sky darkened, thunder rumbling ominously. A suffocating atmosphere weighed on everyone as El's enormous wings stirred the air.
"Silver Reincarnation Burst!!!"
El's massive body, wreathed in crackling lightning, moved with devastating intent.
With each beat of his wings, a monstrous tornado took shape, interwoven with blinding lightning and relentless winds. The massive vortex, hundreds of meters in diameter, continued to expand and intensify, growing into an apocalyptic force.
"What is this?!"
Even the mighty Black Bear and Iron Bone, along with Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and John, were struck with fear. The scale of destruction was beyond anything they had ever faced.
The sea churned violently as the tornado sucked up water, creating enormous waves that crashed against what remained of the island.
Marines, both conscious and unconscious, were swept into the vortex. Helplessly pulled upward, they were shredded by wind blades and struck by crackling bolts of lightning, their bodies reduced to mist.
The tornado devastated everything—ships, rubble, vegetation—all torn apart and consumed.
"We have to retreat!"
Wang Zhi didn't hesitate. Grabbing Silver Axe and John, he teleported them far from the battlefield.
At the same time, a Marine Vice Admiral with flying abilities—who had already evacuated many of the injured, including Zephyr—transformed into a massive eagle and carried the remaining survivors to safety.
"Damn it, he's trying to destroy the island completely!"
Iron Bone shouted, his determination unwavering. Using his Bone-Bone Fruit powers, he transformed the ground into dense, steel-hard bone, creating an enormous, Haki-reinforced shield to block the approaching storm.
Black Bear joined him, pressing his hands against the shield and fortifying it further with his own powerful Haki.
"BOOM!!! BOOM!!!"
The silver tornado, an unstoppable force of destruction, ravaged the island. It ripped through everything, leaving the once-proud fortress in ruins. Only the island's foundation, protected by Iron Bone's powers, remained intact.
As the storm subsided, Black Bear and Iron Bone barely had time to breathe before El unleashed his next attack.
High above, the Quetzalcoatl's terrifying form opened its gaping maw.
"WHOOSH… CRACKLE… BOOM…"
Wind, lightning, and fire gathered within its mouth, merging into a radiant, destructive energy. The swirling mass of power climbed into the sky, forming a massive, blinding beam of light.
The beam pierced the dark clouds, transforming into an unstoppable, sword-like energy blade.
"Golden Reincarnation Burst!!!"
The colossal blade, brimming with devastating energy, descended toward the island. Black Bear, Iron Bone, and the remaining Marines could only watch in horror as it threatened to annihilate everything in its path.
