Chapter 136

His longsword cut through the air, releasing massive shockwaves.

The sonic boom echoed far and wide as the air around them quivered with the sheer force of his attack, and the sea seemed to part effortlessly like soft tofu beneath the might of his sword.

"Kamui!" Obito's voice rang out, carrying an air of urgency.

With unwavering resolute, he activated his unique technique.

In an instant, the sword energy hurtling toward Tatsumaki vanished into thin air, leaving only a bewildering void in its wake.

"What on earth?" Garling exclaimed in shock.

Obito's sudden move left Garling, who had just landed on the ship's deck, utterly perplexed.

He couldn't fathom how his devastating attack had disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly, the space above them began to warp and distort, and in the blink of an eye, the same sword energy that had vanished reappeared, as if defying the laws of nature themselves.

"How did he manage to...?"

There was no time for Garling to second-guess. He was determined to counteract and nullify this sword energy.

Unexpectedly, all the Marine warships were forcefully compressed.

In an instant, they all rose from the sea, turned upright and plunged into sea the like steel needles.

Then, the final wave of sword energy also swept through.

"Boom..."

The sea erupted in an enormous explosion as deafening sound echoed throughout the area.

The rising waves pounded the sea once more with tremendous force.

As they crashed heavily against the ocean's surface.

"Shhhhhh!"

Dozens of figures shot up from the sea, landing on the wreckage.

"Leave the one in the middle to me; you can deal with the rest," Carnes declared before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, in the Holy Land of Mariejois.

When the Five Elders received the distressing news that they had lost contact with the God's Knights, it triggered an immediate response from all of the Elders.

The five elderly individuals sat on their chairs, their faces etched with deep concern and solemnity.

"What's happening there?"

"There hasn't been any word from Garling's side."

"Damn it, this shouldn't be happening."

"You're right. In theory, Garling should have easily dealt with Carnes and his crew.

It's only logical that after facing Lord Imu's such devasting attack most of the members of Gale Emperor Pirates should have perished and some of them who survived that should also be in dire state.

So, why is it taking so long for Garling to report?" one of the elders questioned.

"Could it be... that even after facing such a powerful attack, Carnes and his crew weren't harmed much.

And maybe this is why, Garling couldn't pose a significant threat to Carnes and his subordinates?"

"While I hate to admit it, as it is very dangerous situation for us that Gale Pirates survived and were even unharmed after facing Lord Imu's attack.

But it seems like there's no other reasonable explanation," an elder reluctantly chimed in.

"In that case, do the God's Knights still have any chance of winning?

Will they emerge out victorious from this battle?"

The five elders fell into a heavy silence.

"Is there any chance that they might win?" an elder questioned.

"Of course not. Garling had made it clear earlier.

If Carnes and his gang were to somehow face and overcome 'that' attack, he and other God's Knights would have little to no chance of winning."

....

"Should we ask Lord Imu to provide for her guidance?"

"It seems that... there's no better option than that."
