"In that battle four thousand years ago, every powerful race among the Hundred Races took part!"
"And for people at your level… the Divine Race alone had over a hundred of them!"
"And with the divine power of the True Chan Holy King blessing them…"
"…the Hundred Gods could not be killed at all!"
"If people like you had taken part in that battle, you probably wouldn't even have any scraps left by now. How could you still be like this general…"
"…rely weakened in strength and heavily wounded?"
Standing beside HanFeng, Wushuang curled his lips into a mocking, playful smile as he added coldly.
Although the Divine Race's Hundred Gods were indeed sowhat inferior to the Nether Race Generals at their peak, they could still barely reach the Admiral level.
And with the protection of the True Chan Holy King's divine power—
Even if Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino, the three Admirals, were to truly fight them…
They would only end in defeat!
After all, Admiral-level fighters possessed terrifying stamina and endurance—
But even so, they were not infinite!
Faced with the undying Hundred Gods, even the Four Emperors would find them extrely troubleso!
The contents of Wushuang's words plunged everyone present—and everyone watching across the sea—into even deeper shock than before.
Far more shocking than anything HanFeng had said.
"The Divine Race! The Hundred Gods! Every one of them is an Admiral-level powerhouse?"
"The True Chan Holy King! With the divine power of the True Chan Holy King blessing them, every one of the Hundred Gods is immortal?"
"The power over life and death… this True Chan Holy King can actually grant others immortality?"
"More than a hundred Admirals? Is this… is this what the supre Divine Race of four thousand years ago was like?"
Endless cries of astonishnt rang out across every corner of the sea.
Even those who had lived their entire lives among the lower and middle ranks—pirates, civilians, and the like—were no exception…
To them, every Admiral-level powerhouse was the ceiling of the world!
And yet the Divine Race had over a hundred such beings!
And they were immortal!
If the gap was truly that enormous, then once the Divine Race stood against the World Governnt, how long could the World Governnt even hold out?
"N-no way… more than a hundred Admiral-level fighters?"
"And on top of that, all blessed with divine power by the True Chan Holy King, making them undying and indestructible?"
On the ship of the Red-Haired Pirates, Yasopp's mouth hung slightly open, his pupils contracted, and the shock in his eyes was impossible to hide.
And he wasn't the only one…
Every single senior mber of the Red-Haired Pirates, including Shanks himself, remained unable to calm down for a very long ti!
What Wushuang had revealed this ti had simply exceeded the limits of their imagination!
Just the na alone was already full of mythic grandeur.
When they first heard that such a race really existed, they had already been deeply shaken.
But afterward…
When they heard from the Ancient King that the Divine Race was rely a stronger race—not so all-powerful existence beyond imagination—they had slowly co to accept it.
And yet now…
What had they just heard?
The Divine Race actually had over a hundred Admirals?
These were Admiral-level combatants!
Among all the powers currently visible on the sea, there weren't even ten Admiral-level fighters in total!
And yet the Divine Race actually possessed more than a hundred?
And not just that…
The Divine Race's True Chan Holy King could shield the Hundred Gods with divine power, making them immortal and indestructible…
With such an ability, how was that any different from the all-powerful gods they had previously imagined?
To put it bluntly…
Just the Hundred Gods and the True Chan Holy King that had been revealed so far were already enough to wipe out every force currently on the sea combined!
"A Divine Race like that…"
"…truly deserves the kind of caution even a terrifying existence like the Ancient King would show…"
Letting out a faint sigh, Shanks felt countless thoughts surging through his mind, and an imnse weight pressed heavily onto his heart…
The Divine Race, a race that had not appeared even once up to now and was known only through the words of others, had already placed imnse pressure on them!
So much so that despair itself made him feel almost unable to even think of resisting!
Immortal and indestructible…
Impossible to kill…
How was one supposed to struggle for even a sliver of hope in a war like that?
Resting both hands on the ship's railing, Shanks wore a grave expression. Facing the salty sea breeze, he slowly closed his eyes.
Only after a long while did he manage to calm his emotions a little and murmur in a low voice:
"Captain…"
"No wonder…"
"…you made that choice back then…"
"The Divine Race is only one of the Hundred Races from four thousand years ago. Even if their strength places them among the overlords, there are still other powerful races no weaker than them…"
"Against power like that, the strength of the present-day sea is utterly insignificant…"
"If we can't awaken the world and create more strong people before the many experts of the Hundred Races descend…"
"…then this era…"
"…will have no place left for humanity at all…"
"A hundred immortal divine warriors?"
Within the Beast Pirates—
Kaido, towering like a demon god, had now completely lost the carefree interest he had shown before.
He could ignore everything only because he knew those things were not enough to destroy him!
Even if he stord Marine Headquarters and got captured, it would not matter.
Because he had absolute confidence that the Marines had no way to kill him!
And only he himself knew that he was not truly immortal—he rely possessed life force so absurdly tenacious that it resembled that of a monster…
Attacks at the level of a Four Emperor could injure him, but could not inflict truly fatal damage.
Yet Wushuang had just said that the Divine Race's True Chan Holy King could grant a hundred Divine Race warriors bodies that were undying and indestructible…
That revelation made Kaido feel an enormous sense of threat!
If that True Chan Holy King could use divine power to give others immortal bodies…
Then he could probably also destroy Kaido's own body, couldn't he?
A threat of death!
After so many years, Kaido once again felt the threat of death—
And it ca from soone he had never even seen!
"True Chan Holy King… Divine Race!"
"Hahaha! I'm actually starting to look forward to those dazzling Hundred Races powerhouses…"
Demonic energy surged around him as strands of black lightning spread outward.
The gloom on Kaido's face gradually turned into loud laughter.
Only the weak feared change and trembled before a new era…
His strength already stood at the ceiling of the present sea. There was nearly no room left for him to improve.
If nothing unexpected happened, Kaido would remain like this for the rest of his life.
But once the Hundred Races descended…
Those beings beyond even the level of the Four Emperors might be terrifying—
But they could also beco the guides showing him the next step on his path…
Only by witnessing with his own eyes those monsters who stood beyond the level of the Four Emperors could he possibly find a way to advance further!
Inside the royal palace of Dressrosa—
Doflamingo stood up directly from his throne. A blazing light flashed through his pupils, and fanatical excitent surged up in his heart…
"If…"
"If the Divine Race makes a move…"
"…then wiping out the World Governnt might happen in the blink of an eye…"
He muttered feverishly.
At this mont, Doflamingo practically wished for the Divine Race to descend imdiately, crush the World Governnt with overwhelming majesty, and reduce Mary Geoise—the sacred land of the Celestial Dragons—to flat ground!
In the first half of the Grand Line—
On a pirate ship that was battered nearly beyond recognition—
Four elderly-looking figures, led by Rayleigh, stood upon the deck.
Their gazes remained fixed on the flickering image on the screen as they discussed what they were seeing.
"The Divine Race…"
"Not only are they powerful, but from what both the Spirit Race and the Ancient King have revealed, this is also a race with extrely strong aggression…"
"It can be said that, as things stand now, the Divine Race is probably the greatest enemy of our era!"
Dark King Rayleigh adjusted his glasses and looked toward the other three. Beneath the sunlight, his lenses reflected faint glimrs.
"This Divine Race…"
"…is terrifying to the point of despair…"
"Leaving aside their other powers, just those one hundred undying, Admiral-level divine warriors alone are not sothing we can withstand…"
Scopper Gaban, tall and wearing sunglasses, frowned deeply, filled with worry.
"That's right, Vice Captain…"
"The True Chan Holy King, who can grant one hundred Admirals the power of immortality and indestructibility, is probably at the very least an existence on the sa level as the Ancient King!"
"And the Divine Race should have quite a few powerhouses beyond even the level of the Four Emperors!"
"Otherwise, there's no way they could have supported themselves against so many powerful enemies at once four thousand years ago…"
As Gaban's words fell, the other two nodded in agreent.
Back in the past, they had always marched forward fearlessly, following their captain, the Pirate King Roger, across the seas. There had never been any place that could make them afraid…
But things were no longer as they were before…
The Divine Race far surpassed every enemy they had ever faced.
And their pirate crew, from its captain to its mbers and officers, was now incomplete!
Under such circumstances…
Facing the Divine Race was no different from striking a stone with an egg.
The four gathered here under Rayleigh's lead were all senior officers who had once served on the Pirate King Roger's ship!
Even after Roger's execution, so of the higher-ranking mbers of the Roger Pirates had still kept in contact.
When Rayleigh first realized that everything Roger had once spoken of was beginning to appear, he had contacted the old mbers of the Roger Pirates.
But due to the urgency of the situation, only four of them had gathered so far…
"Since the Divine Race is so aggressive, then back four thousand years ago there must have been many races that stood against them—and among them there were surely powerful ones…"
"The Hundred Races may be strong, but they also have their own conflicts. Perhaps we can make use of that…"
"…and buy ourselves more ti, and a better chance of victory…"
Rayleigh's eyes shifted as thought after thought passed through his mind.
After a long while, he slowly raised his head, gazing into the far-off horizon, and murmured:
"But before that…"
"…we still need to wait for Bullet and the others…"
"Otherwise, with only us…"
"…there is truly very little we can accomplish."
