I, Broly, began by destroying the pirate world.

23. Do you have the right to talk about labor and management?

The moment the Five Elders stepped out of the castle's main gate, their pupils constricted sharply—the scene before them was nothing short of hell on earth.

Mary Geoise, the sacred site symbolizing supreme power in the world, is now being engulfed by towering flames, the crimson fire coloring half of the night sky.

The heart-wrenching screams of the Celestial Dragons and the dying wails of their guards rose and fell, mingling with the rumbling of collapsing buildings, creating a scene of utter despair.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Pangaea, Kong had already led the elite naval forces to the scene. The newly appointed Admirals Akainu and Kizaru stood guard on the left and right flanks, trapping Broly and his hundreds of surviving slaves in the center of the inferno.

But neither the Five Elders nor the Navy dared to make any rash moves.

All eyes were fixed on the child in the center of the square.

Broly squatted on the ground, a nonchalant smile on his face, like a child playing with a new toy, staring with great interest at the middle-aged man in front of him who was only up to his waist—Grimm, the Knights of God.

He stared at the broken section of the man's waist, where new flesh was visibly regenerating, even showing signs of legs sprouting. His eyes lit up. "Oh? It's growing legs again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the dead tree a few dozen meters away.

The lower half of Gringu, which had been hanging on the tree branch, had long since turned to ashes and vanished without a trace in the night wind.

Broly became increasingly interested in watching.

In the horrified, distorted gaze of Grimm Saint, he suddenly raised his hand, his right hand forming a sharp blade, and slashed down with lightning speed!

puff-

The dull thud of a sharp blade slicing through flesh was particularly jarring amidst the cacophony of screams.

Immediately afterwards, Broly placed his left palm against Gringu's head, and a pale blue energy wave instantly condensed and exploded!

boom!!

With a deafening roar, Gringu's chest and above were blasted into dust, leaving not a single trace.

All that remained was a clump of writhing, struggling abdominal flesh, twitching on the scalding stone slab, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

The square was deathly silent.

Whether it was the Five Elders, the naval soldiers, or the surviving slaves, everyone held their breath, watching helplessly as Broly toyed with the leader of the Knights of God like a puppet, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Broly then stood up, dusted off his hands, and as if he had discovered some interesting pattern, exclaimed with sudden realization, "I see! When a part of the body is completely destroyed, a new one will grow from the remaining part. Even if it is completely shattered, it can be reassembled like the Impure World Reincarnation..."

He seemed to have lost interest in the immortality of the Knights of God.

Those smiling eyes slowly turned to the Five Elders who had just emerged from the castle, and his tone was light yet carried an undeniable sense of oppression: "Hand over Satan, and I will spare your lives for now."

"Are you kidding me!"

Maz, one of the Five Elders, finally couldn't hold back and rebuked him sternly.

But as soon as he uttered the words, he was struck by the sight of Mary Geoise, now a living hell, and the Knights of God, whose members cowered and dared not utter a single word. His heart trembled.

From the moment they heard the commotion to the moment they rushed out of the castle, it was only five minutes!

Five minutes!

Mary Geoise, symbolizing the highest power in the world, and the world government's strongest secret weapon, the Knights of God, have fallen to such a state!

The five elders' gazes all fell on Broly—this guy had no wounds, not even a speck of dust on the hem of his clothes.

This is enough to show that the devil in front of us hasn't even used his full strength! If he were to get serious, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The fear that followed his calm gripped Mazsan's heart for a moment.

Why are you yelling so loudly?

Broly raised an eyebrow at him, deliberately clutching his chest and making an exaggerated expression of being frightened, saying fearfully, "You scared me, so... you also have a way to die."

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders opposite them, as well as the elite naval personnel behind them, were all dumbfounded.

No, buddy!

You're going to kill someone for such a ridiculously boring reason?!

If Broly could see through their thoughts, he would probably just scoff—"Haven't you World Government killed enough people for even more ridiculous reasons? Now you have the nerve to criticize me?"

Before everyone could recover from their shock, Broly's figure suddenly vanished from the spot!

Maz Saint felt an unprecedented fear rush to his brain and almost instinctively activated his Devil Fruit ability.

In an instant, his body expanded wildly, and a pair of huge wings covered with black feathers suddenly unfolded, almost covering the entire sky above Pangu City—Mythical Beast Species: Itsumade Form!

The navy men led by Kong Kong stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Among them, the vast majority were learning for the first time that the Five Elders were actually Devil Fruit users!

Broly, now standing in the spot where Maz had just been, looked up at the colossal bird that blotted out the sky, his smile growing even more playful: "What are you afraid of? Don't you all have immortal bodies?"

These were the words that Grimm had said to him not long ago when he had made those outrageous remarks.

At that moment, Gringu's head had grown back, and he heard Broly repeat the sentence word for word. He felt a burning pain in his cheeks, as if he had been slapped dozens of times, and the fear in his eyes was almost overflowing.

So what if they don't die? They'll still feel pain!

Broly glanced sideways at the restless Five Elders beside him and asked with a smile, "Want to try transforming too? Just a heads-up, anyone who attacks me, no matter what their reason, I will kill them all without exception."

A seemingly casual remark, yet it carried a chilling undertone.

The Five Elders, who were originally preparing to transform into their Mythical Zoan forms, froze instantly, as if they had been frozen in place, not daring to move a single finger.

Broly then turned his gaze back to Maz Saint above his head, his smile still bright.

Even though Broly's size was less than one percent of Maz Saint's in his bird form, Maz Saint felt as if he were seeing a colossal giant ape that blotted out the sky, staring intently at him with its scarlet eyes, its chilling killing intent almost crushing his soul.

Resisting means death, not resisting also means death!

We might as well fight to the death; perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope!

A resolute glint flashed in Mazsaint's eyes. He suddenly opened his enormous beak, and scorching flames instantly condensed at his throat. In the next instant, a pillar of fire, ten meters in diameter, carrying the power to burn mountains and boil seas, poured down on Broly on the ground!

Looking at the overwhelming flames, Broly suddenly remembered a joke from the pirate community in his previous life—"The Flame-Flame Fruit, even dogs wouldn't eat it."

It really is so.

Since entering the new world, he has seen at least eighty or a hundred people playing with fire. Even cats and dogs can conjure up two balls of flame, so there's really nothing new about it.

Broly didn't even bother to dodge the oncoming pillar of fire.

He slowly raised his right arm, clenched his fist slightly, and assumed an uppercut stance.

The flames were only half a meter away from his face.

Broly suddenly exerted his strength and threw a punch!

Thump—!

A deafening roar exploded, tearing the air apart with a sharp bang.

That pillar of fire, powerful enough to level a small mountain, was shattered by this punch, leaving not a single spark, as if it had never existed at all!

High in the sky, Maz Saint in his Tsumade form was struck hard by this terrifying fist pressure.

He let out a heart-wrenching scream, and mouthfuls of blood gushed from his beak, leaving a shocking trail of blood in the night sky.

A huge bloody hole was blasted into his abdomen, and through the hole, one could even see the night sky dyed red by the fire!

thump!

Mazsaeng, in his phantom beast form, crashed heavily onto the roof of Pangu City. The hard glazed tiles shattered instantly, and he tumbled and crawled down from the ruins. His enormous body rapidly shrank, eventually transforming back into human form.

The horrific bloody hole in his chest is still shocking, but if you look closely, you can see that the muscles around the hole are twitching and healing with a slight movement.

Having witnessed both Gringu and Maz Saint recover on their own after sustaining fatal injuries, the Marines stared wide-eyed in astonishment—the Celestial Dragons actually possessed such abilities?!

Broly showed no surprise whatsoever, his face beaming with amusement throughout, his tone as casual as if he were discussing a trivial matter: "That's more like it. It would be so boring if we killed him right away."

His gaze slowly swept over the Five Elders, the Knights of God, and the Navy, a mocking smile playing on his lips. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to everyone's ears:

"Who's next? Want to join the fun?"

The words fell.

These three forces, arguably the strongest in the world, all lowered their heads in unison, like a group of elementary school students being called on by their teacher, not daring to even look Broly in the eye.

In the square, only the crackling of the flames and their suppressed breathing remained.
