Standing atop the high platform of Mary Geoise, Jin An felt the cold wind blowing, carrying a hint of chilling aura.
He gazed at the assembled World Government soldiers before him, his brow slightly raised, but his eyes showed no trace of panic or wavering.
On the contrary, a relaxed smile crept onto the corner of his lips.
"It seems we've been exposed."
Jin An shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness, yet also revealing a sense of ease.
It wasn't that he hadn't noticed the enemy's surveillance; he had always believed that they would discover his trail sooner or later.
And now that he was exposed, he didn't plan to continue hiding.
"However, now that we're here, there's no reason to retreat."
Jin An said softly, his gaze sweeping over his companions standing behind him, his eyes flashing with resolute light.
"Everyone, prepare for battle."
As soon as his voice fell, his aura suddenly changed. The previous composure and ease vanished without a trace, replaced by a tension and focus like a hunter stalking its prey.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze at that instant. Within Jin An's body, a vast aura began to surge, pressing down on the surrounding soldiers, making them gasp for breath, their faces gradually paling.
His voice was no longer relaxed, but carried an iron-blooded determination:
"Today, we will make this city understand the power we possess!"
His companions reacted quickly.
Giant Prince Loki's gaze had become sharp and firm, and the power of Haki Nation began to surge in his hands. That heavy power made the surrounding soldiers afraid to approach.
Loki flicked his finger lightly, and a booming sound came from the air, like the collapse of heaven and earth.
"Come on."
Loki's voice was low and powerful,
"I'd like to see how long the World Government's forces can last."
The surrounding soldiers felt the change in their aura and raised their weapons one after another, aiming at Jin An and the others.
The enemies in front continued to surge forward, the muzzles of their guns flashing with a cold light in the sunlight.
Some soldiers had even begun to shout in low voices:
"Don't let them get any closer! Everyone, prepare to fire!"
However, Jin An's eyes remained calm and composed.
Even as the enemy's attack pace grew faster and faster, and the firelight flickered around him, his gaze remained as firm as iron, unwavering.
His footsteps did not stop, but instead moved forward more firmly, as if countless enemies were just paper barriers to him.
He glanced at his companions beside him, his voice steady and powerful:
"Let's begin."
As the order was issued, everything around them suddenly erupted with tremendous movement.
Loki took the lead, and the aura of Haki Nation surged out of his body, instantly causing the air to vibrate violently.
Before the surrounding enemies could react, they were blown away by that overwhelming aura. The entire ground seemed to be overturned by an invisible force, and the soldiers fell one after another, unable to rise again.
Jin An did not hesitate to draw the long sword in his hand, the blade flashing with a sharp light.
His deep voice echoed in the air:
"All who stand in my way shall be reduced to ashes."
As Jin An swung his sword, a sharp blade of energy cut through the air, rushing out like a tornado.
The power was so strong that even the air seemed to be torn apart. The surrounding enemies had no time to react and were swallowed by this powerful sword wind.
The soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and the range of the sword energy was so vast that even the defensive fortifications in the distance were damaged and smashed into fragments.
The battle broke out so quickly that it gave the enemy almost no time to react.
The Mary Geoise defense line quickly collapsed in the face of Jin An and his teammates. Although the enemy desperately resisted, their strength was simply insignificant compared to these godlike warriors.
Jin An stood in place, his eyes as cold as iron, and with every swing of his blade, all enemies were swept away like sand.
He glanced down at the quickly falling World Government soldiers, a hint of a cold smile in his eyes:
"This is just the beginning."
He did not hesitate any longer and continued to advance with the others. The entire Mary Geoise battlefield became more and more chaotic under their footsteps, as if a storm was sweeping in.
Whether it was the World Government soldiers or those high-ranking commanders who had not yet gone into battle, they all seemed so fragile in front of Jin An.
Perhaps they would never understand what true power was.
The sky above Mary Geoise was still shrouded in a dark cloud, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
Jin An, Whitebeard, and Loki stood in front, their figures like three towering mountains, standing on this battlefield.
With each step they took, the ground trembled, as if the earth was trembling for their arrival.
"Advance."
Jin An's voice was low and clear, as if it were an order from the depths of hell.
He did not look back, but coldly scanned the defense line in front of him, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
Although the enemy was tightly surrounded and outnumbered them, he had no fear.
On the contrary, the excitement flashing in his eyes made him more determined to destroy this city.
"Loki, Whitebeard, cover me."
Jin An's brief and powerful order gave his companions a signal to act.
Loki's eyes were full of the flames of battle. The muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and the heavy power of Haki Nation surged within his body.
His hands pressed on the ground, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked. Stormy currents of air surged with his movements.
The entire air seemed to be compressed, and the rumbling sound echoed continuously.
Loki's body exuded an undeniable pressure, and without hesitation, he swung his fist violently, and the Haki Nation's energy wave pounced on the enemy's defense line.
The World Government soldiers in front tried to meet it with guns and artillery fire, but the power of that Haki came too fiercely and too quickly, and their attacks were almost instantly shattered.
The huge force caused the ground to crack, and the air wave threw several soldiers flying out. Even the solid walls of Mary Geoise showed cracks under this blow.
"Haha, come on, let me see your strength!"
Loki's laughter rumbled on the battlefield, his waving hands seemed to be able to tear everything apart, impacting the Mary Geoise defense line with destructive power.
At the same time, Whitebeard stood on the side, gently leaning on his spear, a ruthless sneer on his face.
He did not have Loki's fiery attack style, but his every move was full of threat.
Whitebeard's aura surged like a wave. He did not give too much warning, but simply waved the long knife in his hand, and a seaquake-like wave suddenly struck.
"Air Quake!"
A loud noise like the collapse of the earth suddenly sounded. Whitebeard's spear swept across, and the space seemed to be torn apart at that moment.
The entire earth shook violently, and the defensive fortifications on the ground and the surrounding buildings were hit hard, instantly becoming dilapidated.
Before the soldiers could react, the ground beneath their feet collapsed, and then all the buildings began to tilt and collapse under the power of the seaquake, mercilessly smashing towards them.
The huge shock wave caused serious damage to the entire Mary Geoise defense line.
