Saint Mars, Are You Plotting Rebellion? Kneel Before Me!

An overwhelming domineering aura spread without restraint, covering a radius of a hundred meters.

Accompanied by streaks of lightning, the former world's highest authority, Marcus Mars, no longer held back or hesitated.

His imposing figure brought an indescribable visual impact.

At the entrance of the automated walkway, Orion enveloped in the Conqueror's Haki, allowed the rippling void to sway his cape, exuding an air of calmness as if a huge Mountain were collapsing before him.

"Is it my death or yours?"

Orion raised his hand to stop Hancock and Gion who were ready to charge, then stepped onto the automated walkway, speaking calmly.

"You are truly audacious, Mars. Sending cannon fodder to intercept me is one thing, but you dare to come out yourself and spout nonsense!"

At this point, Orion suddenly looked up, his voice rising, each word carrying suffocating pressure.

"Mars, are you plotting rebellion?"

Before the words could fade, the world strongest Conqueror's Haki erupted like a volcano, ruthlessly suppressing the overwhelming aura that came crashing towards him.

"I... I'm plotting rebellion?"

Mars, whose Conqueror's Haki was being suppressed, widened his eyes in fury.

"It's you who plotted rebellion and staged a coup! I'm merely purging the rebels!"

As he spoke, Mars, blinded by anger, recklessly released his Conqueror's Haki in an attempt to counter the pressure.

He was Saint Mars, the former Elder of the World Government.

Even though he had been rotated out, it was only because Orion had staged a coup and seized control of the Marine, forcing a compromise.

Yet, not long after, the coup leader had risen to the top and he, who had been rotated out, was now labeled as a rebel.

This is unbearable!

For a moment, Mars was so enraged that he nearly choked on his breath and died on the spot.

If it weren't for Orion immense strength, he would have loved to put a slave collar on him and make his life a living hell.

Buzz buzz buzz—

As Mars frantically unleashed his Conqueror's Haki to clash with Orion, the surrounding void continuously emitted disorienting low-frequency vibrations.

Layer upon layer of void ripples surged, mixed with streaks of lightning, accompanied by expanding air shockwaves that filled the space.

"Damn it—"

In the midst of the intense clash of Conqueror's Haki, Mars on the verge of collapse, suddenly let out a roar of defiance.

The next second.

BOOM—

With an earth-shattering explosion, Mars, unable to withstand the Conqueror's Haki released by Orion, was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the wall of a building hundreds of meters away.

The four-story building collapsed under the powerful impact, burying Mars in an instant.

However, as soon as Mars was buried under the rubble, a sharp, clear cry rang out.

Immediately after, the collapsed ruins exploded and a monstrous creature with a bird head and a snake body soared into the sky.

"Orion, accept the burning flames!"

Transforming into the "Itsumade" form and soaring high into the sky, Mars showed no hesitation.

With a flap of his wings, he traversed hundreds of meters in an instant, appearing directly above Orion.

Along with his descent, a torrent of flames carrying terrifying high temperatures rained down from the skies.

"You dare transform in front of me?!"

Standing on the automated walkway, Orion eyes sharpened and an even more overwhelming Conqueror's Haki erupted from him.

"Kneel before me!"

A low-frequency vibration spread through the air, resonating across a radius of a hundred meters.

The Conqueror's Haki, a mix of black, red and gold surged into the sky, accompanied by the crackling of thunder, instantly enveloping Mars, who had transformed into the Itsumade form.

"ARGHHH—"

Under the intense pressure of the Conqueror's Haki, Mars who had just unleashed a torrent of flames intending to incinerate Orion on the spot, let out an uncontrollable scream.

Immediately after, as he was engulfed by the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, it felt as though he had been placed in a gravity field specifically designed for him, rendering him powerless to resist.

He plummeted straight down from the sky.

With a deafening BOOM, Mars crashed to the ground forcibly reverted to his original form by the Conqueror's Haki.

He remained kneeling on both knees, facing Orion.

"ORIOONNN!!!!!"

Mars, now back in his original form and kneeling, let out another roar of defiance.

Struggling against the suppression of the Conqueror's Haki, he raised his head and glared at Orion with bloodshot eyes, shouting.

"Even if you kill me, you can't change the fact that you're a traitor—"

"ENOUGH!"

Before Mars could finish, Orion took a decisive step forward.

The Conqueror's Haki enveloping Mars intensified, forcing him to collapse face-first onto the ground.

At the entrance of the automated walkway, Hancock, standing side by side with Gion unconsciously clenched her fists as she witnessed the once Arrogant Elder prostrate himself before Orion.

Flames of hatred silently ignited within her.

In the rising flames, fleeting images flashed through her mind—her younger self being captured by human traffickers, being bought by the Celestial Dragons and fitted with a slave collar and the humiliating moment when the Celestial Dragons branded her with the mark of a slave on her back.

There was a time when she had dreamed of charging into the Holy Land to avenge her past.

But her strength had been limited, forcing her to bury her hatred for the Celestial Dragons deep within her heart and endure the humiliation until now.

If it weren't for Orion appearance, she might never have had the chance for revenge.

To them, the World Government was an insurmountable mountain, a colossal entity they could never hope to topple.

As long as the World Government existed, she would never have the opportunity to strike down the Celestial Dragons who stood above it.

Thankfully, there was Orion.

Thankfully, Orion had appeared.

After a brief silence, Hancock slightly raised her head to gaze at the towering figure standing proudly before her and Gion.

In her eyes, there was none of the infatuation she usually displayed when with Orion, nor did her mind conjure up fantasies of a happy life with him.

Instead, there was only admiration and gratitude.

Gratitude for Orion appearance, gratitude for him bringing her to the Holy Land and gratitude for him trampling the Celestial Dragons underfoot, allowing her to witness the shattering of the myth of the self-proclaimed gods within her lifetime.

Suddenly, a piercing scream snapped Hancock back to reality.

Following the sound, she saw Mars who was lying prostrate on the ground, let out a final cry before his body began to crack with countless fissures.

"Ugh—"

As cracks began to spread across his body, Mars let out another agonizing scream.

Thick black mist surged out from the fissures in his body.

Bang—

As the black mist spread, Mars body, already riddled with cracks, exploded into fragments that scattered into the air.

"This is…"

Hancock beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she witnessed the scene.

She then shifted her gaze to Orion, exclaiming silently in her heart.

'Did he just shatter one of the Five Elders with nothing but Conqueror's Haki?'

After a brief moment of shock, Hancock heart raced.

She had only just regained her composure a few minutes ago, but now her eyes sparkled with hearts as she cupped her cheeks, gazing at Orion with infatuation.

In her mind, she was already imagining walking down the aisle with him.

Just as Hancock was daydreaming about a blissful future, something bizarre happened.

The fragments of Mars body that had scattered into the air began to slowly reassemble.

In no time, Mars stood before Orion completely restored to his original state.
