Chapter 380: Make the World Feel the Pain
In the sacred land of Mary Geoa, at the edge of the artificial gardens and forests that encircled the entire holy site, Hancock and the three Mary Golude sisters were the first to escape from underground. With most of the attention focused on Feng Ye, they had successfully shaken off their pursuers and reached the fringes of the sacred land.
Standing here, looking back, one could still make out the distant Pangge Castle and some of the structures of Mary Geoa in the distance.
"Sister... Which way do we run now?!" Mary Golude asked, halting in her tracks.
They had reached the edge of the sacred land, and before them lay not an endless ocean, but a vast expanse of red earth, stretching as far as the eye could see without a single building in sight.
Hancock's expression turned grim as she replied, "We're above the Red Earth Continent now. We must find a way down."
The Red Earth Continent loomed high into the clouds, its towering cliffs resembling mountain ranges.
Although the vast ocean lay below, it was too high to consider jumping directly into it. Even if one survived the fall, as humans, they would never be able to swim across the endless sea to reach the nearby islands.
"Let's keep moving. For now, let's just get to the edge and see," Hancock said, taking a steadying breath to calm herself before addressing her two younger sisters.
Mary Golude and Sandra Sonyia nodded, following close behind Hancock as they stepped onto the soil of the Red Earth Continent and made their way toward its edge.
Just then, the trio halted in their tracks, hearing voices carrying from behind them.
"Is that...?" Hancock turned her head.
Despite the distance, she could still make out a dark figure rising slowly into the sky above the sacred land of Mary Geoa.
For some reason, even at such a great distance, she could clearly hear the words spoken by the figure ascending into the sky—a voice she found familiar, reminding her instantly of the person who had rescued them from underground.
"It's... our benefactor!"
"What is he doing?" Mary Golude and Sandra Sonyia also recognized the source of the voice. Although it carried from far away, it seemed to ring clearly in their ears, neither overwhelming nor grating.
Nearly everyone in the sacred land could hear it distinctly.
As the three women turned to look, having heard the final words, they witnessed a dazzling white light emanating from the figure in the sky, spreading in all directions like a newborn sun at its center.
The light illuminated the entire sacred land!
...
About a minute earlier.
In the Land of Gods.
With the appearance of the Five Elders, the quarreling World Nobles had already ceased their disputes. The Five Elders were the highest authority among the World Nobles, and even they addressed them as elders.
The Five Elders stood facing Feng Ye, but they didn't act rashly. They were aware of his formidable strength, and with their addition to the forces present, the might assembled here was already comparable to that of the Navy Headquarters. However, if they engaged in battle, there would undoubtedly be significant casualties.
More crucially, this was the Land of Gods!
All the World Nobles resided here, and many were even nearby. If they were to clash with Feng Ye, it would be challenging to ensure that others weren't affected.
In this situation, stalling was the best strategy. The Navy had already responded, and reinforcements would arrive soon. When the power of the World Government and the Navy combined, along with various other means at their disposal, even if Feng Ye possessed incredibly tricky abilities, they would be able to put an end to him here!
"...So, your approach to governing the world is to prioritize the privileges of the World Nobles, even if it means leaving the seas in chaos?" Feng Ye asked calmly, standing tall as he addressed the Five Elders.
The sword-wielding elder's eyes flickered, and he replied coldly, "Our ancestors founded the World Government, and in a sense, they created this world. We are one with the world, its creators and equals!"
Another elder beside him glared at Feng Ye and added, "Without us, there would be no world as it is today!"
"To offend us is to make an enemy of the world!" Rozwald, standing behind the CP0 agents, shouted at Feng Ye. "Elders! Show this rude offender what happens when one dares to insult us!"
"Elders!"
"Elders!!"
The other World Nobles nearby joined in, their voices filled with agitation.
"Are you trying to escape?!" The elder wielding the sword exclaimed.
Without hesitation, he swung his sword, sending a dazzling blade of light towards the airborne Feng Ye. But just then, a pitch-black Seek-Way Jade appeared in front of Feng Ye, melting and transforming into a thin, black membrane that blocked the sword energy.
The sword energy hit the surface of the Seek-Way Jade, sizzling for a moment before gradually dissipating without causing any noticeable tremor.
"How is this possible...?"
"What is that?!"
Witnessing this, the Five Elders' pupils constricted with shock.
Even the captain of CP0's eyes widened slightly, and he exclaimed, "Armament Haki? No, it doesn't quite seem like Haki... How is it possible to use Haki like that..."
As the Five Elders and CP0 were bewildered by the power of the Seek-Way Jade, Feng Ye's calm voice echoed gently.
"Since you are equivalent to the world, you should possess everything the world has."
"In my understanding, you, who are equivalent to this world, should also understand. And you should feel what I have felt."
Under the gaze of the Five Elders and countless World Nobles,
Feng Ye continued to ascend, his silver hair dancing in the wind, his white cloak fluttering gently.
"So..."
"Feel the pain."
"Consider the pain."
"Accept the pain."
"Understand the pain."
Witnessing Feng Ye's actions and hearing his calm words, a sense of foreboding filled the entire sacred land of Mariejois, and the faces of the Five Elders twisted with a sense of impending doom.
The elder with the sword, whose Observation Haki had reached its pinnacle, allowing him to see a few seconds into the future, had his eyes widen in horror as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Damn it! Stop!" he shouted.
Buzz!!
Without hesitation, he swung his sword again, sending a massive sword energy towards Feng Ye in the sky.
However, his powerful sword energy was once again stopped by the black membrane formed from the Seek-Way Jade, sizzling and dissipating into it.
Feng Ye's expression remained unchanged by this turn of events, and he continued to fly higher until he reached directly above the sacred land of Mariejois.
Here,
His gaze could overlook the entire sacred land below.
He slowly raised his hands to his sides, his eyes sweeping over the confused World Nobles below, unsure of his intentions. "Then," he said, "from this moment on, let the world feel pain..."
As his words fell, the deep blue light in his eyes began to flicker, and the vast chakra within him surged, transforming into a repulsive force that spread in all directions.
A brilliant light, centered on him, blossomed, as if he had become a sun, bathing the entire world in a white light.
"Six Paths,"
"Shinra Tensei!!!"
