Under Garling's command, the two God's Knights behind him sprang into action, accompanied by the fifty World Government agents they had brought along.
Of the two God Knights, one was a towering figure adorned in a bull skull mask, brandishing a formidable scythe weapon, known as 'Death Knight'.
The other was a dark-haired woman with a slightly aged appearance, dressed in armor similar to Garling's, recognized as 'Evening Knight' Lyra Nox.
As the God's Knights and World Government agents sprang into action, Jax and Akira moved swiftly to confront the aged woman Lyra.
"Sabo-san, we'll handle this grandma. You take care of that old skull mask thing!" Jax exclaimed loudly, earning the death stare of the two God Knights.
Especially Lyra, her entire being boiled in rage at being called Grandma. She emanated a murderous breath that momentarily sent a shiver down Jax's spine.
Though past her prime, she hadn't lost her beauty, with just a few white hairs interspersed among the black. Any mention of her age or disparaging remarks would make Lyra lose her composure.
There are times she even beats fellow Celestial Dragons to a pulp for making bad remarks.
"Haha...Good. Then, I will take care of him." Laughing a little, Sabo went to meet the other one called Death Knight.
"I've changed my mind, you insolent brats. I'll grant you both a painful death unseen by anyone for daring to insult a noble lady like me," Lyra spat through gritted teeth, her anger noticeable by anyone.
"She's not just a grandma, she's a venomous one. Akira, be careful. Don't let her poisonous words affect you or lead you astray. If you do, it could ruin your life. No one would marry you in the future!" Jax shouted hurriedly with genuine concern in his eyes.
It was that genuine concern that made the vein-pop symbol appear on Akira's forehead, she nearly lunged at Jax in a fit of rage. But controlling her impulse, she shouted. "Shut up. Speak another word, I will kill you."
Without bothering about Jax, she charged forward. Akira's body began to transform, her form enveloped in crackling lightning and shimmering feathers. Wings unfurled from her back, spanning wide and casting a shadow over the battlefield.
The air crackled with energy as thunder sparkled dazzlingly around her. In a breathtaking display of power, Akira completed her transformation, assuming the form of the Thunder Bird granted by her Mythical Zoan fruit.
With wings of shimmering silver-blue and feathers that sparked with electricity, she exuded an aura of unmatched power and noble beauty that left everyone in awe.
Simultaneously, Jax unleashed the power of his Cloud Fruit ability, transforming into a towering cumulonimbus cloud, the cloud type capable of producing hail, thunder, and lightning.
His towering form covered the entire Cloud Island, his imposing form rumbling with thunder and crackling with dancing lightning.
With tactical understanding, Akira's avian form soared high into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
"Nice devil fruits!"
As 'Evening Knight' Lyra smirked at their movements, her expression suddenly shifted as a bright flash of light streaked towards her—a golden, thick lightning bolt.
"zzzzz- Pang!"
Sensing the danger present in the bolt, Lyra quickly reacted, covering her entire form with Haki as a defensive measure. Despite her efforts, the force of the strike was overwhelming, hurling the God Knight far away with blood splashing.
This lightning bolt was unlike any other, it was a Superbolt—a combined attack developed by Jax and Akira that discharged a single, devastating bolt of lightning, unlike the flashes of lightning typically seen.
It was only possible because both of them had lightning-style powers and had exceptional control over them.
Stabilizing her body after being thrown several meters, Lyra frowned as she noticed smoke emanating from her left shoulder. The area was charred, indicating a severe injury from the lightning strike.
'What a powerful attack. I shouldn't have underestimated them!'
"What happened, Lyra? Your clumsy moves are disgracing us," Garling chastised in a stern tone.
Dusting off her clothes, Lyra snorted dismissively. "I was careless since I had a playing mindset. It looks like I had to be serious!"
At the same time, Sabo faced the Death Knight who came charging at him and swung his massive scythe weapon, infused with Haki.
Sabo met the attack head-on, swiftly confronting it with his staff.
Death Knight's scythe collided with Sabo's staff; the clash of their Haki-infused weapons created a powerful shockwave that rippled through the air.
"Boom!"
The force of their collision reverberated across the battlefield, sending shockwaves in all directions and causing the cloud ground to show signs of splitting apart.
"You're pretty strong," Sabo commented, his eyes slightly narrowed. "What's your name?"
"Though I don't usually respond to those beneath me, I'll make an exception for you, considering you're slightly stronger than the last prey I played," the Bull mask replied coolly. "You can call me Death Knight."

Meanwhile, the members of the Demon Squad, despite being outnumbered, faced off against the World Government agents.
But it was at this moment, the commanders of the Revolutionary army emerged unexpectedly. Their sudden arrival startled the CP-0's who were on the lookout as they didn't sense their arrival.
"Mmmfufufu...It seems we came on time!" exclaimed Emporio Ivankov, commander of the G Army.
Accompanying him were the other esteemed commanders of the Revolutionary Army:
Karasu, Commander of the North Army.
Belo Betty, Commander of the East Army.
Morley, Commander of the West Army.
Lindbergh, Commander of the South Army.
Accompanying the commanders were the Deputy Commanders and a host of other Revolutionary members. Together, they are a formidable force.
With their arrival, the balance of power on the battlefield began to shift in favor of the revolutionaries.

Just as the two sides were on the verge of engaging in a deadly confrontation, someone went to Mary Geoise to make trouble.
Madara's figure floated above the Red Continent, specifically above the grand Pangea Castle. It seems his presence was noticed by the world government as a five overwhelming presence locked onto him.
'Blaize didn't lie, they are strong!' Madara mused.
