085: Bai Ye: "It's best not to speak wild words easily; that will only expose your incompetence!"

Boom...! Boom...!

'Holy Land' Mariejois, now.

Facing Im, Bai Ye raises his hand as if he's piercing the terrifying movement of the sky above Mariejois. Bai Ye's indifferent eyes flash sharply.

Thereafter, the pillar of fire rushing violently towards the sky starts beneath Bai Ye's feet. It covers 20 meters, 30 meters, expanding to 4,000 meters! Suddenly, all the collapsed and melted red soil near Bai Ye's feet is lifted. The endless sea of flames connects to the sky, burning crazily. The unimaginable high temperature swirls through Mariejois like a hurricane!

At its center, bathed in flames as high as 6,000 degrees, Bai Ye raises Ryūjin Jakka with his right hand. No awe or fear of Im from the Five Elders can be seen in his eyes – only determination: whether god or human, they all face the same fate, not able to change being beheaded!

The next moment, Ryūjin Jakka is about to strike.

"Bastard, bastard, stop that sinner!" "Master Im's attack cannot be affected in any way!" Kneeling before the fluffy beard projected by Im, one of the Five Elders sees this, his face changes suddenly, and he shouts immediately.

"Roar!!"

Following this, amid the ruins of broken buildings, the Five Elder with a birthmark on his forehead, after being hit by Bai Ye, stands up abruptly. He's incensed that someone dared to point a knife at Lord Im. This Elder, maintaining some giant bipedal form, coughs up blood and strides directly towards Bai Ye without hesitation, whispering, "Let me do it! I'll stop you, vile sinner!"

Purple-black energy gathers in his mouth full of sharp teeth. In less than a few seconds, energy is collected and released, tearing the ground and the void in front of Mariejois!

Suddenly, it strikes the man standing in the endless sea of flames.

"Hit, hit!" The Five Elder beams with joy.

However, before his joy lasts a few seconds, the terrifying energy explosion dissipates, revealing Bai Ye's unscathed and muscular body to the Five Elder with the birthmark.

"How can this be!" the Elder freezes in place, his face suddenly changed.

Thereafter, when Bai Ye turns his gaze upon him, the Five Elder feels an uncontrollable fear surge from his heart.

"Impossible! Withstanding that level of attack... how can you be fine?!" The Elder with the birthmark can't believe it.

Bathed in flames, Bai Ye hears the words. He looks at the Five Elders and replies, "I think it's best for you not to speak wild words easily."

Bai Ye holds up Ryūjin Jakka and continues, "That would only expose your incompetence."

"You!" The Elder's pupils freeze.

Gritting his teeth, he's about to say something, but finds the man has already swung his knife down.

"Let it burn," Bai Ye says in an ordinary, yet powerful tone.

The Elder's face changes drastically, for the temperature is comparable to the sun's surface—and it seems overwhelming! Countless bright sparks occupy everything in sight!

The Five Elder with the birthmark tries to back away, but the bright orange-red, horribly high-temperature flames seem sluggish—yet they swallow everything in front of Bai Ye in an instant! Wherever Ryūjin Jakka goes, there are ashes!

Before the Elder with the birthmark can react, he is directly engulfed by the endless flames, and his pupils enlarge!

Before he can scream, "Boom!"

The endless flames shot into the sky, capturing the full attention of the Five Elders with birthmarks on their foreheads, causing a violent explosion of flames. The ground shook beneath Mariejois.

Later, the Five Elder with a fluffy beard witnessed his counterpart, the one with the birthmark on his forehead, reduced to ashes. His eyes widened in shock.

"Could the temperature be so high that even the wind would explode? Damn!" he said, fear evident in his voice.

"How terrifying must it be near that sinner?"

At that moment, Bai Ye struck down another of the Five Elders.

As destruction loomed over Mariejois, Bai Ye declared, "Next, it's your turn, Im."

Bai Ye stared at the figure of Im, displayed above Mariejois via a projection phone bug. Im seemed unfazed by the death of the Five Elders, showing no shock, surprise, or any emotion. His red pupils reflected only indifference and contempt for everything in the world.

To Im, the deceased Elder was merely a replaceable servant.

Bai Ye's eyes filled with disdain.

In the next moment, countless bolts of lightning and thunder filled the sky above Mariejois. The heavens trembled violently, as if being pierced by a god.

The sky above Mariejois and the Sabaody Archipelago below the Red Line began to warp, visible to the naked eye.

Following this, the entire world watched in shock.

"God's Judgment" had arrived, filling the sky with dazzling light. Before such catastrophic power, no force in the world could be confident. Facing this 'God,' they felt as insignificant as ants.

"Is that the true might of the World Government?" people wondered aloud. "Could such power truly belong to a 'god'?"

As blinding light engulfed Mariejois, spectators from afar felt chills down their spines, with cold sweat covering their backs and foreheads.

Even the might of the Four Emperors' pirate groups seemed insignificant compared to the terrifying power displayed by the World Government.

On the burning Mariejois, Bai Ye considered whether the method of attack had been tailored for him. A beam of light, hundreds of meters thick and containing the destructive force of 'Uranus,' fell from the sky. Although the affected area was smaller, the power of this attack far exceeded the previous one.

Bai Ye, who had already exhausted half his strength in battle, met the attack with determined eyes. Though weakened, he still possessed the power of Ryūjin Jakka's Bankai.

As the shaggy-bearded Five Elder looked on in awe, Bai Ye directed Ryūjin Jakka against the descending wrath of 'Uranus.'

The shaggy-bearded Elder was stunned by the sight, then a terrifying thought struck him.

"Is he mad? Is he planning to withstand the attack from Master Im himself?" he questioned in disbelief.

"Insane, absolute madness!" he exclaimed.
