General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 840 The End of the Battle
A moment ago, more than ten kilometers away from the holy land of Mary Joa, two tall men climbed to the top of the red earth continent under the vigilant gaze of the holy land guards.

The way they came to the Red Earth Continent was very special. They did not take the elevator like ordinary people, nor did they climb up with their bare hands like Fisher Tiger who broke into the Holy Land to rescue slaves. Instead, they stepped on a flying stone and descended from the sky in the direction of the New World.

"It's a flying devil fruit user!" The guards were facing a formidable enemy. They gripped their guns tightly, turned on the safety, and pointed the black muzzles at the newcomers.

As the first line of defense to protect the world's nobles, the Holy Land Guards hold the world government's most advanced fully automatic muskets. Many guards even hold rotating Gatling guns. The bullets they use are the latest research results from the Science and Technology Department. The ammunition compressed to the extreme is incredibly powerful after firing, comparable to artillery.

Among the various bullets loaded, there are also seastone bullets specifically used to deal with people with special abilities.

Not only that, there were also a dozen tall pacifists who stood out among the guards, opening their hands and mouths that could shoot lasers and locking onto the enemy.

But even though they were armed to the teeth, they were still so nervous that sweat broke out on their foreheads and their muscles were tense, all because they had recognized the person who came.

"It's the former admiral Aokiji, and the new vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, the blind swordsman Yixiao!"

A team leader swallowed hard, suppressed his panic, gritted his teeth and stepped forward. Just as he was about to fulfill his duty and order the two people in front of him to leave, he saw that among the two people surrounded by dozens of them, Aokiji's thin body was emitting wisps of white cold air. He smiled and opened his ferocious eyes covered with scars, facing the holy land, grasping the staff knife in his hand and drawing the sword out of its sheath towards the sky above his head.

"Not good! Fire!" Seeing the actions of the two men, the team leader's heart sank suddenly, his face changed drastically and he screamed hoarsely.

But as soon as his voice came out of his mouth, a tsunami-like cold air poured out from Aokiji's body, flooding the surrounding red earth continent.

In an instant, dozens of Holy Land guards, including the team leader, turned into ice sculptures, frozen by the thick layer of ice.

On Yixiao's side, as he drew his sword, circles of purple light flew out from the sword in his hand and spread towards the sky above.

After completing the action, Yixiao and Qingji did not stay where they were, but walked towards Mary Joa who was vaguely visible in the distance. As the two walked, an ice road that continued to extend forward quickly spread out in all directions, freezing the guards of the holy land who came after hearing the news.

In the holy land, in the Golden City built at great expense by the Golden Emperor Tezoro, the celestial dragons enjoyed the pleasure of slaves of all kinds and were immersed in the flattery of the servants and the indulgence of wine and sex.

On the high platform, Tezoro, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, tall in stature and with his hair combed meticulously, was holding the microphone and singing a song with a gentle and moving melody.

With his magnetic voice, this song with ordinary lyrics and mediocre composition seemed to come alive. The singing became like a gurgling stream, flowing into the hearts of the listeners around him, making people involuntarily immersed in it, moved by the artistic conception of the song, and intoxicated by it.

Influenced by Tezoro's singing, even his not-so-handsome face seemed to become radiant.

Tezoro stood on the stage, his mouth slightly raised, with a humble smile that made people feel like spring breeze, but there was no smile in his eyes behind the dark sunglasses. He looked down at the audience, looking at the Celestial Dragons who were wearing white robes with gold edges, bubble hoods on their heads, and all kinds of luxurious jewelry, surrounded by black suits and slaves, and looked at Saint Chalmaco who was surrounded by beautiful wives, his eyes were full of disgust and indifference.

"It's time to put an end to this grand show."

Such a thought suddenly popped up in Tezoro's mind.

He recalled the cooperation he had reached with Rorschach on the Golden Ship.

At first, his compromise was mostly due to Rorschach's strength. He did not really believe that Rorschach would really do as stated in the cooperation content, to attack the Holy Land one day, overthrow the rule of the World Government, and hand over the culprit of Stella's death, Charles Saint, to him for disposal.

After all, Rorschach is a navy officer, and what he did on the golden ship was to protect the safety of the Celestial Dragons.

But if it is said that what Rorschach said was to deceive him, it seems completely unnecessary. Because what Rorschach said was not to be seen in public. Once the World Government knew about it, even if he was Vice Admiral Lan Lin, who was very famous in the Navy at that time, he would be arrested and executed.

Therefore, perhaps because of the guilt he always felt towards Stella deep in his heart, Tezoro agreed to Rorschach's cooperation for some unknown reason.

After that, he used the huge profits of the Golden City as a bargaining chip, sold himself to the World Government, and successfully obtained the semi-permanent residence rights in the holy land of Marijoa.

After entering the Holy Land, Tezoro used his outstanding business skills and flexible mind to rebuild a golden city in the Holy Land that was ten or a hundred times more luxurious than the golden ship. He used all the enjoyment and entertainment that the Celestial Dragons loved the most and gained their friendship. Although this friendship seemed false and high-handed, it was undeniable that because of his deliberate flattery, the Celestial Dragons' vigilance against him was greatly reduced.

At the same time, corrupted by the huge wealth owned by Tezoro, many of the Holy Land Guards, the Navy, and even the Knights of the Knights of God who were responsible for guarding the Holy Land became his long-term bribery targets.

When everyone from the Celestial Dragons to the guards beside them let down their guard against Tesoro, the God of Wealth who likes to give generously, this happy scene appeared before our eyes.

The Celestial Dragons, who always put their own safety first, gathered defenselessly in his entertainment venue, with the distance between the two sides being only ten meters. The guards surrounding them, however, did not take the fact that Tesoro was once one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to heart at all, and they sneaked behind their masters, enjoying the wine and sex entertainment that their masters were also enjoying.

They never thought that at this distance, if Tesoro wanted to attack, even if there were powerful people like the Knights of God, the Navy Marshal, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies in the Holy Land, they would not be able to appear in time to save their master, the noble Celestial Dragons.

At this moment, all the audience in the audience could not imagine that the man standing on the high platform in front of them, who had always been gentle and humble, had such terrible murderous intentions in his heart.
Rorschach, who had reached a cooperation with Tezoro, has been confirmed dead by the World Government. There is no need for him to continue staying here and playing cozy with these disgusting guys.

"It turns out that relying on others is unreliable. In the end, I have to end it all by myself." When Tezoro thought of this, he smiled coldly, and in the astonished eyes of the Celestial Dragons below the stage, he suddenly threw away the microphone in his hand, raised his hands, and stared quietly at the only empty ring finger among his ten fingers, which did not wear a gold ring.

"Stella... I haven't changed. I, Gilde Tezoro, will always be the boy who sang for you outside your cage! Let the blood of these fat pigs bear witness to our love!"

His drooping face was raised a little bit, and the rage of revenge in his eyes burst out and turned into a dazzling golden divine fire. Under the gaze of the Celestial Dragons, the Holy Land guards, the World Government officials, and the CP agents who had not yet come to their senses, it pierced through the eyes of Charmaco Saint, who was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Two straight golden flames penetrated Charmaco's bubble hood without any delay, pierced into his eyes, penetrated his head, shot out from the back of his head, and went forward, piercing through all the Celestial Dragons, guards, and slaves in a straight line behind him.

The incident happened too suddenly. The holy land guards and CP agents who were protecting the Celestial Dragons had no time to react. They saw two brilliant golden fire lines stringing together dozens of people. The stench of burnt flesh and blood quickly filled this high-end VIP suite filled with precious perfume.

"Damn it! Tezoro!! What are you doing?"

The guards reacted quickly. After a moment of indifference, their faces changed drastically and they rushed towards Tezoro on the stage with a roar. Some of them rushed towards the Celestial Dragons they were protecting regardless of the danger. If something happened to the Celestial Dragons, these guards would definitely die.

"Hahaha, what am I doing? Of course, I am listening to the most wonderful song in the world, a supreme melody interwoven by the cries and screams of my enemies! Everybody, please sing for me! Hahaha!" Tezoro grinned, opened his arms, made a gesture of conducting an orchestra, and laughed wildly. The surrounding area was magnificent, and the walls made entirely of gold collapsed and turned into flowing golden water, rushing towards the chaotic audience seats like a tide.

This place is indeed a holy land. Although the walls of this high-end VIP suite built by Tezoro are made entirely of thick gold, it cannot withstand the powerful men with strong observation Haki in the holy land.

Less than five seconds after the shocking change in this room occurred, roars exploded in various places in the holy land, followed by figures with exploding auras rushing over with tremendous rage.

"Tezoro! Stop it! What do you want to do, you bastard?"

"I told you I was listening to music!"

Tezoro ignored the roar that came in like a shock wave, and the smile on his face became more and more wanton.

He walked down the platform and entered the ocean of liquid gold. He casually summoned a stream of flowing golden water, which turned into a golden ring under the control of his power. He slowly put it on his ring finger. In front of Tezoro, the golden juice surged and condensed into a familiar figure with a gentle smile. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently stroked the cheek of the golden statue. The madness in his eyes dissipated, and a touch of tenderness that had disappeared for many years emerged.

He murmured, “Stella, I love you, please be…my wife.”

Following his last whisper, the high-end VIP suite wrapped in thick golden walls exploded, and violent and powerful auras rushed towards him, including Akainu, Sora Akainu, and the commander of the Knights of God, Green.

However, the moment these strong men managed to break into the suite, the golden juice surging in the room reacted extremely violently and exploded.

A ball of wildly expanding golden divine fire was created in the explosion. Thousands of degrees of high temperature and high pressure swept in all directions, blasting all the Celestial Dragons, Holy Land guards, and CP agents in the cage-like golden secret room into charcoal-like fragments.

The horrific explosion hit Akainu and the others who had rushed over, sending them flying backwards for dozens of meters before they stopped.

When the rolling impact quickly dissipated, when several people saw the completely disappeared golden suite and the minced meat residue all over the ground, their faces became extremely ugly.

However, before the few people could get angry because of the sudden change here, a fiery red light lit up in the sky above their heads, illuminating the entire holy land.

When Akainu and his companions raised their heads, the flames emerging on the sky were reflected in their shrunken pupils.

In just a few seconds, those tiny flames that were barely noticeable quickly grew larger, like candles being blown out hard.

When the fire became clear, several people could see clearly that it was not fire at all, but huge meteorites with long tails of flames. They rolled across the sky like chariots, and fell towards Pangu City with rumbling sounds.

"It's an enemy attack! Quickly get someone to activate the energy shield!" Kong shouted in a deep voice.

"It's too late. The falling speed of the meteorites has been deliberately accelerated. We can only break them into pieces."

As Akainu spoke, a large amount of black smoke and red light suddenly came out of his right arm. Scalding magma emerged from his body. He was about to fire a meteor volcano in the opposite direction to intercept the meteorite falling from the sky.

But his action was stopped by a member of the Knights of God named Mamaye.

"Stop! Akainu! Do you want to destroy the holy land? We want to break up the meteorites, not create more volcanic bombs!"

Mamaye glared at Akainu, then followed Gringu and leaped into the sky, showing no fear of the falling meteorites. He drew out the long sword from his waist and slashed with it. The other strong men of the Knights of God also took action, launching various violent and ferocious attacks.

Sora and Akainu looked at each other, then took the Moon Step and flew into the air to block the meteorite.

But at this moment, a violent cold wave surged in from outside the holy land, like a tsunami, pouring into the holy land. The air and the earth were quickly frozen and wrapped in silver-white ice. Two tall figures rushed over at a high speed, with undisguised strong murderous intent.

"Aokiji and Issho, the ignorant traitors and pirates, want to attack the holy land too? Knights of God, listen up! Kill them!" Gringu gave the order with a grim face.

Immediately, several powerful members of the Knights of God, whose auras were as strong as Akainu's, gave up on smashing the meteorite and instead rushed towards Aokiji and Issho who were rushing towards the sanctuary.

Fierce fighting quickly unfolded at the edge of the Holy Land. Aokiji and Ichishao, who came with the determination to die and only wanted to end the battle with the World Government, fought to the death. Even though the number of the Knights of God was several times theirs, they were unable to defeat them in a short time. Instead, due to old age and physical weakness, they lost one of their men in the early stages of the battle due to carelessness in the joint attack of Aokiji and Ichishao.

Green was furious about this, and after smashing most of the meteorites, he took Akainu, Sora Akainu, and the remaining powerful Knights of God and personally went into battle to besiege Aokiji and Issho.

When the old rivals met again, Akainu had no intention of showing any mercy. His deadly magma moves were fatal and went straight to Aokiji's vital points.

Under the siege of more than ten top fighters, the two men only lasted less than a few minutes before they were seriously injured, lost their fighting power, and fell to the ground.

Aokiji was lying on the ground covered in blood. He looked at Akainu who was biting a cigar with a cold expression and shook his head.

"Akainu, you really didn't surprise me. From the beginning to the end, you have been a loyal dog. In your eyes, even Rorschach's death doesn't matter? Is your justice to be an accomplice to the evil?"

Akainu didn't respond to him. He walked in front of Yixiao, raised his fist filled with magma, and looked down at Yixiao who was almost out of breath.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

He panted with a smile, the scar on his eye twitching, and said calmly: "Go ahead, Akainu, I am willing to accept the loss of the bet. This time I lost, and the bet was placed on Luffy. However, you, the navy, did not win either, the World Government buried your own 'Sun God' with your own hands. A man like Rorschach did not die at the hands of pirates, but died at the hands of your own people. It is really a great irony."

Akainu had a blank expression on his face. After Yixiao finished speaking, he punched him, turning Yixiao, who had given up on defense, into charcoal.

On the side, the members of the Knights of God watched this scene indifferently. After Akainu killed Yixiao, they turned their murderous eyes to Aokiji.

Mamaye looked at Greengu, "What should we do with this guy? Kill him directly?"

Green Gu's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head slightly and looked towards the Hall of Power. "No, I will take him to see the Five Elders and let them decide his life or death."

As he said that, he walked straight towards Aokiji and was about to grab Aokiji to meet the Five Elders.

But at this moment, an illusory huge pentagram array appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of them. Under their puzzled gazes, Nasu Shoulang Sheng, whose lower body had turned into a huge white bone horse, emerged from the pentagram array, and his usually calm old face was full of horror.

Before Greengu and others could ask questions, Nasujuro Saint let out a scream.

"Get out of the way!"

The next moment, a violent impact that was so terrifying that it was beyond words rushed out from the fading pentagram array, and landed heavily on Pangu City, directly blasting the body of Nasu Shoulang Saint who was blocking the pentagram array.

The Pangu City, which had stood on the top of the red earth continent for eight hundred years, exploded into dust under the bombardment of this mighty shock wave.

"What kind of power is this?" Kong was so shocked that he was speechless when he saw the devastating scene before him.

However, Akainu and Green did not move, staring straight at a tall and vague figure standing in the rapidly fading pentagram in front of them.

"That's... Rorschach?"
