The siege by the crowd inflicted no harm on Xiaqiu.
After their attacks, it was Xiaqiu's turn to retaliate.
"Roar!"
Xiaqiu let out a tremendous roar, sending shockwaves through the air. Not only that, but Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body.
Conqueror's Roar.
It was as if a thunderclap had sounded in the ground, booming loudly and then transforming into waves of sound that spread outwards.
Boom, boom, boom.
Under the influence of the sound and Conqueror's Haki, one by one, the Sailors collapsed to the ground, unconscious. It started with the soldiers, then the Lieutenants, followed by the Majors, and only when it reached the Colonels could they barely withstand it.
However, they could only manage to stay upright with great effort; under the intense sound, their eardrums burst, blood flowing from their ears, rendering them unable to hear anything.
As for the Vice Admirals, they felt a dullness in their heads, as if their hearts had skipped a beat, but they were not significantly affected.
The three Admirals nearby—Sengoku the Admiral, Kong, and Peach Rabbit—along with Hawkeye and the other seven felt a tremor coursing through them, their movements momentarily stalling.
Accompanying Conqueror's Roar was an armor formed by Armament Haki, instantly repelling all incoming attacks. Aokiji's ice and Akainu's lava were both blocked from reaching him.
"Life Restoration."
Not yet finished, Xiaqiu swiftly controlled his six Tentacles, launching them outward in all directions.
One shot toward Hawkeye, who gripped Black Blade Night in his right hand and slashed forward.
The sound of metal clashing echoed as the Tentacles collided with the Black Blade, sending a powerful force that made Hawkeye's body sway.
Another Tentacle shot toward Peach Rabbit, who raised her twin blades to block in front of her.
The impact caused Peach Rabbit's feet to slide backward, creating some distance.
A Tentacle aimed at Kizaru, who swiftly dodged it. Concerned about other Tentacles, he moved directly to the rear half of Xiaqiu's body, but Xiaqiu's tail was already waiting there, striking at Kizaru.
"Oh no."
Seeing the tail coming toward him, Kizaru raised both hands, activating his Armament Haki to form armor.
Bang.
Kizaru was hit as if struck by a shield, his body flying backward into the distance.
Two Tentacles attacked Kong and Sengoku simultaneously.
"Shockwave, Iron Fist."
Kong and Sengoku quickly broke free from the effects of Conqueror's Roar and raised their hands to launch their attacks.
Boom.
The two front segments of Xiaqiu's Tentacles were directly compressed and deformed. Their power reached a certain level, exceeding the limits of the Tentacles, and even Armament Haki could not fully withstand it.
There was one last Tentacle shooting toward Aokiji.
The latter thrust his right hand forward, unleashing countless shards of ice that spread out ahead. However, they were pierced by the Tentacle, driving straight in and aiming for Aokiji's face.
"What tremendous power."
Aokiji's heart sank as he pressed his right hand forward, allowing Armament Haki to envelop him.
Clang.
Six Tentacles held back six powerful foes.
In the next moment, Xiaqiu opened its massive mouth and lunged at Akainu.
"Damn it."
Akainu immediately realized that he was the target. Just as he intended to retreat, his body froze in place.
Two Tentacles wrapped around him.
"Useless."
Akainu roared, transforming his arms into magma, instantly melting the Tentacles. Facing the enormous mouth that was already upon him, he struck out again with his fist, "Hellhound."
Akainu's right hand slammed forward with a thunderous impact, but in the next moment, it was covered by the gaping maw.
Crack.
Akainu's body was bitten in half and fell to the ground in a lifeless heap.
"Hot, so hot."
Summer Winter spat out the upper half of Akainu's corpse, clicking his tongue in disbelief.
"One strike and Akainu is dead."
The others watched this scene with expressions of disbelief, but no one gave up; they continued their assault.
"Shockwave, Iron Fist."
Sengoku and Kong attacked simultaneously—one delivering a massive Buddha palm from above while the other unleashed an iron fist from below.
Just as their attacks landed on Xiaqiu's head, the latter had already vanished.
Boom.
The Naval Headquarters behind them exploded into pieces.
Amidst the ruins, Sengoku lay there, blood spilling from his mouth, while Kong was buried under the debris and disappeared without a trace.
Not only that, but the Execution Platform was also shattered.
And Xiaqiu's figure had completely vanished.
"Where did he go?"
Everyone searched around, and Hawkeye squinted, saying, "Up there."
A dark shadow was seen flying into the distance before crashing down.
Boom.
Summer Winter landed on the ship behind Whitebeard, and then Tentacles slowly reached out, placing Neptune on the ship. "I've rescued him."
"Thank you."
Whitebeard smiled as he glanced at Neptune, who had already passed out.
"No need to thank me; this is our agreement."
Xiaqiu had promised Whitebeard that as long as he cooperated, she would help him save Neptune King.
Whoosh.
Xiaqiu's figure instantly vanished, charging once again toward the Navy.
"Ice Wall."
Aokiji suddenly exhaled freezing air toward the Surface of the Sea, and countless layers of ice began to stack upward, forming a thick wall.
However, just as the wall took shape, it shattered.
Boom.
Summer Winter emerged from the ice layer, crashing into Aokiji and sending him flying, landing on the ground and spitting blood continuously.
Before the ice had even settled, Hawkeye's blade and Peach Rabbit's slash reappeared.
Bang, bang.
Summer Winter kicked both Hawkeye and Peach Rabbit.
Boom.
Hawkeye was sent flying, landing in the distant ruins, steadying himself while coughing up blood.
Crack, crack.
The long sword in Peach Rabbit's hand shattered with a loud noise, and she crashed into the distance, her bones likely shattered beyond count.
"Hmm?"
Xiaqiu looked up as Kizaru raised his hand and said, "Hey, hey, I can stop."
"Hmph."
Xiaqiu snorted coldly, lowering his head to swallow Akainu's corpse and said coldly, "I've let you go once. If you want to seek death, feel free to launch another attack."
Surrounding Xiaqiu was a circle of Vice Admirals, yet they hesitated to make a move.
They were willing to fight for the dignity of the Navy, but the current situation was a death sentence. After just a few rounds, General Marshal had already fallen.
"What do you want?"
From the ruins in the distance, Sengoku emerged, followed closely by Kong.
"Submit to me."
Xiaqiu declared, "From now on, whether it's the Navy or the World Government, they will belong solely to me. Serve me as your master, and I will spare you."
"Are you planning to make us your slaves?"
Kong replied coldly, "We could never do that."
"Haven't you already become the lapdogs of the Dragon People?"
Xiaqiu retorted, "If you can submit to those worthless beings, why can't you submit to me?"
"You don't understand."
Sengoku shook his head. "The Dragon People are not as weak as you think; they are strong. Even we must obey their will."
"Strong? Are you saying I'm not strong?"
Xiaqiu said coldly.
"I don't know how strong you are."
Sengoku sighed and looked at Xiaqiu, saying, "But we cannot do anything to you. Even so, we must fight you until the last moment, even if it means death."
"Then you..." Xiaqiu began, but suddenly understood Sengoku's meaning.
The Dragon People must have a trump card, and they were not a match for it.
However, they did not know whether this trump card was stronger or weaker than themselves, so they dared not take any action for fear of losing and dragging them down. Thus, they had to fight until the very end, even if it meant death.
"Very well," Xiaqiu said to Sengoku. "Since you are no longer a threat and still have some use, I will give you one more chance. After I kill the Dragon People, I will come to find you. I hope by then you can give me a clear answer."
Upon hearing Xiaqiu's words, Sengoku transformed into a giant Buddha and declared loudly, "I absolutely cannot let you harm the Dragon People."
With that, Sengoku appeared before Xiaqiu and struck out with his palm once more.
Whoosh.
Xiaqiu's figure vanished instantly and reappeared in front of Whitebeard. "I will go and eliminate the Dragon People. These individuals should not pose a threat to you anymore; our agreement is fulfilled."
"Does that mean we are even now?" Whitebeard asked Xiaqiu.
"Yes, you no longer owe me anything. So do as you wish," Xiaqiu replied with a hearty laugh and leaped toward the direction of the Red Line. With a few bounds, his figure had already disappeared into the distance.
"Can you defeat that thing?"
After he left, Kong couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't matter whether we can win."
Sengoku looked into the distance and said, "As long as they can both suffer heavy losses, we will have a chance to control the Dragon People."
"That's right."
A crane approached the two and said, "As long as we can inflict serious injuries, we can take advantage of the situation."
"All troops, advance."
Sengoku clenched his fists and shouted, "We will pursue the giant beast and support Holy Land Mariejois. We must not let it harm the Dragon People."
"All troops, advance."
All the Vice Admirals led their soldiers into one vessel after another, acting on Sengoku's orders.
"Dad, what should we do?"
Marco looked at Whitebeard. "Should we intercept the Navy?"
"Intercept them for what?"
Whitebeard chuckled and said, "I know what Sengoku is thinking. They plan to use this opportunity to break free from the Dragon People. We are fleeing, but heading towards Holy Land Mariejois."
Standing up, Whitebeard said, "Since the debt of gratitude has been settled, if possible, we will act together with the Navy to eliminate Victor."
"All troops retreat and follow Mr. Xia to attack the Dragon People."
Marco immediately issued the order, and all ships of the Whitebeard Pirate Crew set sail, following Xia Qiu towards the direction of the Red Line.
Whitebeard led the way, with the Navy behind him, as hundreds of ships advanced towards the Red Line.
Both Whitebeard and the Navy were prepared to wait for a conclusion.
They awaited an opportunity to eliminate the last Victor.
Neither Xia Qiu nor the Dragon People's manifestation could continue to exist in this world.
As long as they were dead, this world would be free.
