Red Line. Holy Land Mary Geoise

...

"Fire!"

"All cannons, fire at will!"

Two of the Gorōsei, the highest authorities within the World Government, shrieked in terror. The defensive fortress, capable of leveling entire islands, unleashed its full might.

Countless beams of devastating energy converged on Ian, who calmly strode into Mary Geoise, attempting to obliterate him.

However...

The concentrated barrage, powerful enough to shatter islands, failed to even scratch Ian. The beams merely ravaged Mary Geoise itself, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Ian continued his advance, hands clasped behind his back, unfazed by the onslaught.

Behind him, the endless explosions and cannon fire painted a backdrop fit for a king of the sea.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

...

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

"What is that monster?!"

Saint Topman Warcury and Saint Marcus Mars, their faces contorted in fear, shrieked incoherently.

They fled for their lives, desperately trying to outrun the specter of death that relentlessly pursued them. But no matter where they ran, death's shadow clung to them, inescapable even across vast distances.

An unprecedented terror washed over them, consuming their every thought. Ian's figure, a slender silhouette against the backdrop of chaos, closed in, his measured steps echoing in their ears like a death knell.

"Damn it! He's caught up already!" Saint Topman Warcury raged.

"But he won't get away with this!"

"Here..."

Saint Marcus Mars began, but his words caught in his throat. They hadn't escaped the battlefield. The golden clock materialized once more. But whether he moved forward, backward, sped up time, or rewound it, nothing worked.

A sudden gust of wind swept past.

Ian, who had been dozens of meters away, stood before them. A sickening thud echoed as his fist pierced Saint Marcus Mars's head. The Elder's face was frozen in an expression of utter disbelief.

He couldn't, wouldn't accept this reality. His head exploded like a ripe melon, blood and brain matter instantly vaporized by the intense heat. He hadn't anticipated his time manipulation being countered.

"Time manipulation, is it? I can do that too. Acceleration, rewind, stasis, slow... ."

"M-Marcus..." Saint Topman Warcury stammered, stumbling backward, gasping for breath. "You bastard!"

Terror gave way to rage. Saint Topman Warcury, channeling his fear into fury, opened a Spatial Vortex. He flickered, reappearing behind Ian, attempting a sneak attack.

But this time, Ian merely chuckled, casually thrusting his hand toward empty space. His hand vanished into the void.

"AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!"
