Tiger, who was present at the scene, and Im, who was secretly controlling everything from the Void Throne, both stared wide-eyed.
They had already witnessed Broly's terror, but the scene before them, so exaggerated and beyond comprehension, still made their hearts clench with horror.
To be honest, Im had just been clinging to a sliver of hope that Broly might just be a super-enhanced version of Borsalino.
It's only good at long-range energy projection; its physical strength might not be that outrageous.
But now it seems she was wrong, terribly wrong.
The next second, Im's expression froze completely, and Tiger was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
With a slight flick of his wrist, Broly, who had caught the blade with one hand, gripped the gleaming greatsword and lifted the hundred-meter-tall demonized Harald into the air like a chick, raising him directly above his head.
"Oh my God!" Tiger clutched his head, letting out a distorted gasp.
Immediately afterwards, Broly gripped the tip of his sword tightly with his right hand, lifting Harald into the air, and slowly raised his left hand, palm up, precisely aiming at the struggling and roaring giant above his head.
Upon witnessing this, Tiger was instantly terrified and cried out in disbelief, "My lord! He's just being controlled!"
Broly's tone was as indifferent as if he were saying the weather was nice today: "None of my business."
The moment he finished speaking, a blinding green light burst forth from Broly's left palm.
A terrifying torrent of energy instantly engulfed the demonized Harald, accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the heavens, and a beam of light shot straight into the sky.
A massive hole, seemingly endless, was blasted into the sky above Mary Geoise, piercing through the thick clouds and revealing the planet's atmosphere, where even the faint outlines of stars in the universe could be seen.
Harald, King of Elbaf, the Kingdom of Giants, is dead!
Whether Harald is being controlled or not is none of his business.
Anyone who dares to make a move against him or block his path, whether they are being manipulated or doing so willingly, he will never hesitate to take action.
Broly isn't some kind-hearted protagonist from a shonen manga; why would he show mercy just because the other person is forced into a situation?
He casually tossed the giant sword, now reduced to half by the blast of the energy blast, and lazily glanced at the towering Pangu City not far away.
The next second, Broly gripped the broken sword tightly with both hands, assumed a javelin-throwing stance, and suddenly exerted force with his arms—
"Boom—!"
The broken blade, carrying a violent shockwave, crashed into the very center of Pangu City like an out-of-control meteorite.
With a deafening roar, nearly a third of the castle collapsed, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere. The top Celestial Dragons hiding inside screamed in terror.
Broly dusted off his hands and strolled leisurely toward Pangu City, as if taking a walk after a meal.
Tiger, who had witnessed the whole thing, finally came to his senses, shuddered, and turned to run away.
To be honest, he really wanted to stay and see what Broly would do to the Knights of God, the Five Elders, and that mysterious person he called "Little Sister Im".
Tiger also knew that with his meager skills, he was not qualified to participate in battles of this level.
The most important thing is to hurry back to Fishman Island and report back to King Neptune!
However, as soon as Tiger turned around, he saw a dark mass of people rushing toward him from behind.
Those were thousands of ragged slaves, each with extreme panic on their faces, as if being chased by something terrifying, running for their lives in a panic.
Tiger, both anxious and confused, shouted, "Why have you all come back again?!"
The male slave running at the front cried out, his voice trembling, "It's no use! The navy has blocked all the way down! If we try to break through, they'll definitely cut us into mincemeat!"
Clearly, upon learning of Broly's rampage in Mary Geoise, Cyborg Kong immediately mobilized his forces, sealing off all escape routes!
For a moment, Tiger's face contorted in a grimace, looking as if it were twisted into a pretzel.
Neither advancing nor retreating is an option!
A few seconds later, Tiger's gaze suddenly fell upon the figure ahead, now shrunken into a tiny dot. A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, suddenly raising his arm and shouting, "Everyone, follow that man! Only by following Lord Broly will we have a chance to survive!"
That's right, now the only person they can rely on is that unfathomable man—even though Tiger knows in his heart that the other party is definitely not a good person.
Broly naturally noticed the commotion behind him, but he didn't turn his head. He just turned his head slightly and glanced at it casually.
The thousands of slaves stopped in their tracks instantly, too nervous to even breathe.
Tiger quickly forced a humble smile, bowing repeatedly, "Sir, we absolutely will not disturb you! We only ask that you allow us to follow behind for now!"
As he spoke, he gave the other slaves a wink.
The group of slaves, their hands and feet still bound by heavy shackles and their faces pale and emaciated, immediately nodded frantically, their eyes filled with pleading and fear as they looked at Broly.
Broly blinked, said nothing, and turned his head back.
He didn't really care, just felt a little sorry.
Boa Hancock isn't in this group, otherwise, wouldn't this be a perfect opportunity to win her over?
Broly is an XP transmigrator, so he naturally has his own thoughts about the charming female characters in the original work.
Anyway, he couldn't understand what the protagonist was thinking when he transmigrated into the world of anime and became a monk.
He's not like the male protagonist in some urban romance novels who, when a female character is drugged, makes her take care of herself.
It's not some loser with lice in his eyes.
Thinking of this, Broly silently glanced down at his crotch; it seemed he couldn't use it for the time being...
Forget it, there's no rush.
Just then—
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several whooshing sounds suddenly rang out.
A group of people dressed in sharp white suits and wearing eerie masks floated in the air with moonwalking, descending like ghosts and instantly surrounding Broly and his slaves.
Tiger's expression changed drastically, and he cried out their identities: "CP0!"
The Celestial Dragons' strongest shield, the World Government's top intelligence agency, and the Five Elders' direct subordinate agency!
Broly glanced at the group of masked men, and the next second his face showed a look of disgust. He sneered, "Ha, another bunch of good-for-nothings who talk a big game but are all talk and no action."
When he read the comics in his previous life, he thought these guys were some kind of ruthless characters who were hiding their true strength when they first appeared in the Dressrosa arc.
When the final battle on Ghost Island arrived, they discovered that the enemy was nothing but a bunch of weaklings.
In fact, there are quite a few characters in the One Piece world who have ridiculously high reputations but are actually complete idiots.
The CP0 in front of us is one, and the future Admiral Green Bull is another.
Even Garp, who is a "naval hero," is considered quite low in his eyes.
It's not that they lack ability, but the contrast between their performance before and after the appearance is just too great.
Take "Little Sister Im," who is most likely the final boss, for example. She was so scared by the domineering aura left by Joy Boy, who had been dead for almost a thousand years, that she almost wet her pants. When Broly saw that scene, he could hardly hold back.
Broly crossed his arms, giving the CP0 members of his unit the look of someone watching a circus clown, and lazily said, "The only person I want to kill is Satan. Are you sure you want to stop me?"
Guernica—the current CP0 leader who would later rashly intervene in the battle between Kaido and Guernica during the Onigashima arc and be instantly defeated by Kaido—exchanged glances with his subordinates, then lowered his voice and coldly ordered, "Attack those slaves first! If he dares to protect these trash, he'll definitely reveal a weakness!"
The other agents nodded immediately, a ruthless glint in their eyes.
The next second, they suddenly launched an attack, rushing towards the group of slaves behind Broly like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey!
"Swish! Swish!"
The fierce gust of wind tore through the air, and the sharp finger gun pierced straight for vital points.
They displayed the deadly moves of the Six Styles of the Navy to their fullest extent.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and flesh flew everywhere. The most agonizing screams echoed through the sky, and the already terrified slaves were thrown into chaos, with cries and wails rising and falling.
However, Broly simply stood there quietly, his face devoid of any emotion, instead displaying a hint of amusement as if watching a farcical comedy.
As long as I have no morals, no one can hold me hostage.
