Boom!!!
A terrifying repulsive force erupted from Madara, radiating outwards in all directions. This caught everyone completely off guard.
They were repelled with the same speed at which they had charged towards Madara.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One after another, bodies slammed heavily into the ground, many coughing up blood.
Only three or four figures remained suspended in mid-air, their strength counteracting the repulsive force, preventing them from being thrown back.
A closer look revealed their identities: Garp, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin.
"Interesting," Madara commented, then directed his Susanoo to attack these individuals.
However, these four, capable of withstanding his repulsive force, could naturally also defend against the half-bodied Susanoo.
Each employing their unique skills, they landed safely.
"Was that... a repulsive force just now?" a pirate asked, getting to his feet.
People in this world, due to Armament Haki, generally possessed highly resistant physical bodies. That level of injury was insignificant to them.
"Gravity, repulsive force, that energy body, and those eyes... This guy... is as mysterious as that God. Could they be, they're somehow related?!" someone blurted out, anxiety creeping into his voice.
They had dared to attack the Sage Shinobi Nation because they believed it had no connection to the God. However, now it seemed they might have been wrong.
The thought of that invincible God, even without having witnessed his power firsthand, sent a chill down their spines.
A man's reputation precedes him. The God's ability to single-handedly suppress the entire world into submission was sufficient proof of his strength.
Instantly defeating Marine Admirals, slaying Members of Five Elders with a single strike, auctioning off Celestial Dragons, raiding Marine Headquarters, casually killing thousands, and forcing the Marines to revoke his bounty... The God's power wasn't mere hearsay; it was built upon a series of seemingly impossible feats.
"Regardless of whether the Sage Shinobi Nation is connected to the God, it's too late to retreat now. We only have one choice: annihilate the Sage Shinobi Nation! And then... find a place to lay low for a while," someone declared, his voice filled with resignation.
"This guy... is incredibly strong," Charlotte Linlin stated.
Since that incident, she had become much more cautious, her personality changing. That event had indeed dealt a significant blow to her.
"Continue. Use your full strength and entertain me," Madara commanded, arms crossed.
Despite being shorter than many present, he looked down upon them with a condescending gaze.
This posture, this look, ignited fury in many hearts. It was simply too disrespectful.
"Then die and entertain me, you bastard!" A pirate roared in rage.
As pirates, they were unrestrained, capricious, and arrogant individuals; how could they endure such humiliation?
Crack!
With a roar, the pirate transformed into a gigantic gorilla, over 30 meters tall! He was a Zoan Devil Fruit user, the possessor of the Gorilla-Gorilla Fruit.
Madara's half-bodied Susanoo suddenly seemed like a mere child in comparison.
The gorilla appeared, beating its chest and roaring at the sky. Then, looking at Madara within Susanoo, it swung its massive fist, delivering a devastating blow.
Boom!! Crack!!!
Susanoo countered with a punch of its own.
The collision of their fists generated a tremendous roar, accompanied by a violent shockwave.
However, the gorilla was enormous, its fist possessing immense power. The blow actually shattered Susanoo's arm!
Seeing this, the gorilla grew even more excited.
He beat his chest again, producing a thump thump sound. Then, with both fists clenched, he hammered down with full force.
"Size does not equate to power, ant!" Madara muttered to himself.
His Susanoo transformed, donning clothing and armor, a shield materializing in one hand.
This was the Third Stage Susanoo. Even in its half-body state, it now towered over 50 meters, no smaller than the gorilla.
Susanoo raised its shield.
Though formed of energy, not a spirit weapon, it possessed formidable defensive power, completely blocking the gorilla's double-fisted attack.
Moreover, as the shield deflected the blows, Susanoo's other arms, wielding various weapons, launched a fierce counterattack, stabbing and slashing at the gorilla.
PuChi!!!
Blades pierced flesh, blunt weapons battered its body. The gorilla shrieked in pain, rapidly retreating as blood sprayed profusely. It soon reverted to its human form, grievously wounded, writhing and wailing on the ground.
"Beasts belong in cages. Since you've escaped, you might as well be slaughtered," Madara stated, his tone filled with disdain.
He swept his gaze across the battlefield, continuing, "Are there any other beasts who have transformed into humans here?"
His words enraged the pirates. As Zoan Devil Fruit users, they were naturally the "beasts" in Madara's words.
"Haaah!! This bastard is so infruriating!! Someone!!! Kill him alredy!!!"
Unable to contain their fury, they activated their abilities.
One transformed into a prehistoric crocodile.
Another morphed into a terrifying python.
There was a silver giant wolf, and a fearsome bear.
The battlefield trembled.
The appearance of these colossal beasts made countless people gasp, staring upwards with bated breath.
Roar!!!
Suddenly, a dragon's roar shook the heavens and earth. Kaido transformed once more, a blue dragon soaring across the sky, its claws and teeth bared menacingly.
Immediately, other roars responded, echoing across the battlefield, making eardrums ache.
Some, lacking in willpower, were terrified by the sight of these giant beasts, their legs giving way as they collapsed to the ground. Others began to question their existence.
Before these numerous behemoths, Madara's Third Stage Susanoo seemed small once again.
However, he remained unconcerned.
Instead, looking at the Azure Dragon in the sky, Madara's expression turned cold. This dragon brought back certain memories of his.
Therefore, he loathed this snarling, clawing dragon.
"Truly... a bunch of beasts. But beasts are ultimately beasts. Even your roars and howls are nothing but the impotent rage of the powerless. Today, I will slaughter you all!" he declared.
Energy surged around him as Susanoo transformed once more. Its lower body materialized, the complete Susanoo standing between heaven and earth.
Clad in flowing robes and armor, wings spread wide, its gaze blazing. With a long sword in hand, it was a god incarnate.
This Susanoo towered over 300 meters tall! A true colossus, standing tall and unwavering.
Before this Perfect Susanoo, the enormous beasts and the soaring dragon suddenly appeared minuscule.
Silence fell upon the battlefield. No one dared to speak. Only Madara's voice broke the quiet.
"Make sure to entertain me enough, beasts!"
