Chapter 149 Berserker's Roar, the End of the Five Elders!
The tranquility of the royal capital, Albana, was shattered. Huge roars and shouts of battle came from all directions, and the royal palace was now the center of a chaotic storm.
"Rubber Rubber - Giant Battle Axe!"
Luffy's giant rubber foot slammed down like divine punishment, smashing an entire team of CP agents who tried to stop him into a crater.
"Hahaha, kid, keep it down! We're here to rescue people, not to demolish houses!"
Roger laughed loudly, his sword still sheathed, and with only his fierce Conqueror's Haki and exquisite physical skills, he knocked out or knocked down the guards along the way as if he were strolling in a garden.
Bonnie followed closely behind, her martial arts skills equally formidable. Every kick she delivered was aimed at the enemy's vital points, her face filled with anxiety.
"Father—where are you?!"
Hercules, who followed her like a silent mountain, paved the way simply with his unparalleled ferocity and childlike presence.
Any enemy who dares to approach will be sent flying, weapon and all, by a single punch, crashing into a distant wall, their fate unknown.
"The dungeon! Where is the dungeon?!" Luffy shouted anxiously, frantically scanning the massive palace complex with his Observation Haki.
"Don't rush, kid, come with me!" Roger seemed to have some kind of intuition, and took the lead, rushing towards an inconspicuous side hall on the west side.
The guards there were exceptionally strict, but they were practically nonexistent in his presence.
Boom! Hercules smashed the heavy steel door of the dungeon with a single punch, revealing a dark, damp, and blood-soaked passage.
"Zoro! Sanji! Usopp!" Luffy charged in first.
Deep inside the dungeon, three wounded figures were tightly chained to the wall by Hailou Shiliao.
"Lulf?!" Usopp weakly raised his head, almost unable to believe his eyes.
"Damn captain, you're way too slow—" Zoro forced a smile, his body covered in torture marks.
"Nami and Chopper... they're not here." Sanji's voice was hoarse and angry, his eyes bloodshot.
"No need to say anything, Sanji. We understand."
Luffy's smile vanished upon seeing the miserable state of his companions.
His fists clenched tightly, an invisible rage burning within him: "Unforgivable—absolutely unforgivable!"
Bonnie rushed into the cell, looking around anxiously.
"Where is Father? Isn't he locked up with you?"
Usopp shook his head with difficulty: "No—no, he was—"
Sanji added, "That guy—was taken away by the Five Elders themselves—"
"The Five Elders?" Bonnie's heart sank instantly, and the worst premonition surged into his mind.
Just then, the ground shook violently again, and Hercules' powerful roar echoed from afar!
Bonnie could clearly feel that her Servant's already violent Spirit Origin was completely boiling over because of the anger and despair in her heart!
"Father—there's danger!"
Bonnie screamed, and before she could even explain, she turned and charged toward the direction from which the roar had come.
Hercules let out a roar that shattered the glass of the corridor, and his massive body unleashed a terrifying speed disproportionate to its size, crashing through layers of palace walls like a cannonball, heading straight for the source of the pain.
"Hey! Bonney!" Luffy shouted.
Roger pressed down on Luffy's shoulder, his expression grave.
"Let her go! That berserker's aura is off; let's rescue your companion first!"
He swung his sword, cleaving the seastone in two. "Hurry, bigger trouble is coming!"
Meanwhile, in the upper corridor of the palace.
Jason, carrying the weakened King Cobra, followed by the wailing and crying Baki, was fleeing frantically.
Behind them, the Five Elders chased after them at a leisurely pace, their faces filled with a playful, cat-and-mouse mentality and a chilling killing intent.
"A futile struggle, Jason," Nassshurou said calmly.
"Your courage is commendable, but your strength—is far from matching your arrogance."
"You and your ridiculous Master will both vanish into nothingness today."
The brief encounter had already revealed to them that this golden-armored hero's true combat strength was far less formidable than his appearance suggested, and he was certainly no match for the real Golden King.
"Pfft, I've been seen through?" Jason's forehead was sweating, but the seemingly frivolous smile still lingered on his lips.
"But, gentlemen, have you forgotten that heroes are heroes not because they never run away?"
"Still talking tough even when you're about to die!" Mars sneered, his figure suddenly accelerating.
His hand transformed into a sharp claw, carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing through space as he grabbed at Jason's back!
Bucky screamed in despair, "We're doomed!!"
However, at this critical moment...
boom!!!
The palace wall on their side exploded as if it were made of paper!
A muscular, bronze-skinned figure crashed to the ground like a demon descending from the heavens, landing right between Jason and the Five Elders!
That figure was filled with invincible majesty and divinity!
Amidst the flying debris, Hercules's eyes, burning with a fierce red light, locked onto the two Elders, letting out a roar that could send shivers down one's spine.
"Ouch-!!!"
The terrifying sound wave forced the five elders, who held the highest authority in the world, to retreat several steps!
Jason, who was preparing to fight to the death, was taken aback at first, then he saw what the newcomer looked like.
His eyes instantly shone with an immense light of admiration and excitement, almost as if stars were about to pop out!
"Heracles?! As expected! This captain knew you would come!"
He was so excited he was almost incoherent, his expression like that of a fan meeting their idol in person.
"That immense power! Those perfect muscles! Exactly the same as back on the Argo! Tremble, five old men!"
"You are about to face the world's greatest hero!"
Hercules seemed to tilt his head slightly, glancing warily at the excited fellow out of the corner of his eye.
Within Hercules's raging spirit core, there seemed to be an extremely faint reaction to the name Jason.
This guy is an old friend.
Just then, Bonnie came running in through the hole, panting.
She immediately spotted Cobra, whom Jason had put down, and the five old men opposite him who exuded a repulsive aura.
"It was you! It was you who took my father away!!" Bonnie pointed at the Five Elders, his voice trembling with anger.
"Bartholomew Bear! Where is he?! What have you done to him?!"
Saint Satan dusted off his robe, his expression returning to its usual coldness and aloofness, as if he were stating a trivial matter.
"Bartholomew Bear? You're too late. His usefulness has already been fully exploited."
He paused, his tone calm yet containing an extreme cruelty.
"His self-awareness has long been completely erased. He is now nothing more than a prototype machine that absolutely obeys the orders of the World Government."
"In a sense, the father you're talking about is already dead."
His cold gaze swept over Bonnie, with an indifferent look of disdain, as if looking down at an ant.
"You are his long-lost daughter? Now kneel down and swear allegiance to the World Government."
"Perhaps I can spare your life and give you the chance to witness firsthand what your father's body created—"
"!!!"
Without any warning, that enormous fist, moving at a speed beyond visual perception, slammed solidly into Satan Saint's indifferent face!
Bang! Bang!
A dull thud that made your teeth ache!
Satan Saint didn't even have time to react; he was as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed sea train.
His face was contorted and deformed, and his body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing into several huge marble pillars behind him before finally embedding himself hard into a distant wall, kicking up clouds of dust!
This scene stunned everyone present, including Jason and Pakistan!
"You hit me?!" Bucky's jaw nearly dropped to the ground.
"Beautiful! Clean and efficient! As expected of Hercules!" Jason exclaimed excitedly, pumping his fist.
"You audacious madman!" Marcus Maz exclaimed, both shocked and furious.
He never expected that this Berserker would be so powerful, and he never expected that he would dare to directly attack the world's highest authority!
"It seems I must teach you ants a new lesson in the true meaning of power and fear!"
Amidst the smoke and dust, the Saint Satan, who had been blasted away, slowly stood up, his body beginning to twist and swell in a bizarre manner.
An eerie sheen appeared on the skin's surface, and the bones emitted a chilling snapping sound.
At the same time, the figures of the other five elders appeared like ghosts in all directions of the corridor, completely surrounding them.
Their bodies also began to undergo inhuman mutations!
In the blink of an eye, the five old men disappeared, replaced by five giant monsters of different shapes.
The five ferocious beasts represent the five rulers at the top of the World Government, and the pressure they exude is enough to make ordinary experts tremble with fear!
However, Hercules, standing at the center of their encirclement, showed no fear whatsoever; instead, his burning crimson eyes blazed with an even more intense fighting spirit!
"Roar!!!" Hercules roared again and launched an attack!
His enormous body unleashed terrifying speed as he pounced directly at the ferocious beast that resembled a bull demon.
The battle erupted instantly!
Hercules was like a mythical figure reborn. Every punch he threw contained the power to shatter mountains and split the earth, and every swing carried the momentum to tear apart the wind!
He grabbed the chair corner that the giant bull-like beast was charging at him with his bare hands, his muscles bulging.
He let out a roar and actually managed to snatch its massive body up and slam it down hard at the giant bird in the sky!
Boom!
The two ferocious beasts were smashed and rolled away, letting out painful howls.
The sandworm beast emerged from the ground, attempting to entangle and bind him, but he grabbed a limb with his other hand and violently tore it off!
The eerie blue flames spewed by the strange bird burned his skin, making a sizzling sound, but they could not stop him from moving forward. Instead, they only fueled his ferocity!
Although the slashes unleashed by the skeletal centaurs were deep enough to cut into his bones, they could not be slowed down in the slightest in the face of his ferocious and violent attacks.
Hercules fought five opponents alone and was not at a disadvantage at all; in fact, he became stronger as the battle progressed!
His fighting style was full of the most primal beauty of power, which captivated Jason, who watched from the sidelines, and he cheered repeatedly.
Bucky, on the other hand, was terrified and cowered in a corner, covering his head.
Bonney clenched his fists and prayed for his followers.
King Cobra was also dumbfounded, watching this mythical battle in disbelief.
The battle intensified, and the palace continued to collapse during the fierce fighting.
Hercules also suffered numerous wounds, but he seemed oblivious to pain.
In the end, he seized the opportunity!
Just as the sandworm beast, its limbs torn off, lunged again, Hercules brought down his enormous axe with a devastating blow!
"The Twelve Trials (GodHand) — Grant me the power to slay ferocious beasts!"
A muffled yet majestic war cry erupted from Hercules' throat.
The axe and sword, with an earth-shattering momentum, drew a destructive arc!
Click!
A crisp yet chilling cracking sound rang out!
A huge, ferocious head covered in carapace and sharp spikes soared into the sky!
The filthy blood gushed out like a waterfall!
The headless, enormous body stiffened for a moment before crashing to the ground.
After twitching a few times, it stopped moving and slowly transformed back into its golden-haired, golden-bearded form, but its head and body were severed, and it was dead beyond any doubt!
silence!
A deathly silence enveloped the dilapidated corridor!
The remaining four ferocious beasts roared in a mixture of shock and rage, but their roars were now tinged with unbelievable fear!
What? Yet another Heroic Spirit who broke through that person's power!
Hercules, wielding a blood-dripping giant axe, stood like a towering war god amidst ruins and ferocious beasts.
Even in his berserk state, Greece's greatest hero could still slay the head of a ferocious beast transformed from the world's powerful and wealthy!
