Chapter 1731 Cannot be broken from the outside
Faced with this sudden and mind-blowing scene, the entire battlefield fell into a brief silence.
The concept of the realm unfolding, which in the past existed only in celestial prophecies and was regarded as a kind of legend or exaggerated metaphor, has now come to life on the battlefield of Marineford with such domineering and unquestionable power.
This completely shattered everyone's expectations.
Many in the Navy had hoped that Admiral Sakazuki could once again turn the tide, just as he had done countless times before, using his absolute magma power to destroy the enemy's offensive and save the situation.
Who would have thought that Admiral Akainu, who represents the absolute justice of the Navy, would be paired with Enel, who possesses equally terrifying strength and has transformed into the God of Thunder?
They were actually stuffed into that huge earthen ball called the Coffin Iron Enclosure Mountain by a strange enemy who was unremarkable in appearance and could even be described as ugly and bizarre.
On the battlefield, besides the Navy who watched helplessly as their Admiral disappeared, the most furious person was none other than Shiki the Golden Lion.
"Blackbeard, look what you've done! Why did you put my men in there too?!" Shiki roared, his half-human, half-demon face contorted with rage.
Enel is an important and irreplaceable force under his command, a crucial piece of his ambition to dominate, and he cannot afford to lose him here.
Without hesitation, he flew to the vicinity of the giant earthen ball formed by the Iron Enclosure Mountain and cautiously sensed it with his powerful Observation Haki.
There was no ominous aura emanating from the earthen ball, and there seemed to be no immediate danger on its surface.
"Hmph, playing tricks!" Shiki sneered, landing on top of the earthen ball.
He didn't believe that the seemingly ordinary clod of earth beneath his feet could actually trap two top-tier elementalists.
"Get up, you bastard!" Shiki roared, fully activating the power of the Float-Float Fruit within him.
A powerful force field attempted to envelop and lift the entire earthen ball beneath its feet.
The next moment, Shiki's expression changed drastically.
He discovered that his invincible Float-Float Fruit ability was completely unable to move the earthen ball even an inch.
It wasn't because the clay ball was particularly heavy, but because his ability, in the instant of contact and attempt to act upon it, seemed to be thrown into the sea by some higher, more fundamental rule.
"How is this possible?! Could this domain interfere with or even nullify the abilities of other Devil Fruits?!" Shiki was shocked, his brows furrowing tightly.
This discovery made him more uneasy than simply being powerful.
"Since you can't lift it, then I'll cut you in half!"
Shiki brandished his famous sword, Mikazuki Munechika.
An extremely refined flying slash, carrying the power to cut through the sea, slammed fiercely into the surface of the dark red earthen ball.
"boom--!!!"
The slash collided with the earthen ball, producing a deafening roar, and a violent storm of sword energy swept outwards.
When the smoke and light dissipated, there wasn't even a trace of white on the surface of the earthen ball. His full-force strike, powerful enough to cleave an island in two, hadn't even left a scratch.
“This…” Shiki’s pride was hit like never before.
The power of the domain has completely exceeded his previous understanding.
This is not just about being sturdy; it's more like an absolute defense based on rules.
"Miraja, try using your abilities to see if you can open this turtle shell!" Shiki turned and shouted to the female cadre in the distance.
At this moment, he didn't care about saving face anymore; as long as Enel could be rescued, any method was worth trying.
Mirajane, who was in the state of receiving Halphas, frowned almost imperceptibly when he heard Shiki's call, and a hint of reluctance flashed across his face.
She didn't like being bossed around by an old man, especially a Golden Lion, such an ambitious old fellow. Her body, however, acted quite honestly.
During the previous battle against the Lava Demon, she was somewhat half-hearted, standing in a safe range to watch the show and buy time to avoid a real fight with the Navy. She wasn't that concerned about saving Fire Fist Ace, and she didn't have much of a relationship with Whitebeard either.
Mirajah flapped her magnificent azure wings, and in the next instant, her body shot out. The sonic boom generated around her due to the extreme speed, and terrifying air pressure was compressed in front of her.
This fierce woman actually intended to use the terrifying physical power brought by the magic to directly break through the outer shell of this domain.
Miraj, like a blue meteorite, crashed solidly into the earthen ball of the Iron Mountain, and the shockwave from the impact even blasted a huge crater in the sea.
The clay ball remained completely still.
With her powerful receiving body, she had smashed through countless sturdy fortresses, but this time, the other party didn't budge an inch.
Her physical strength couldn't even budge this domain in the slightest!
Through this impact, Mirajane keenly observed that a larger part of the huge earthen ball in front of him seemed to be still underwater, like an iceberg, only half floating on the surface of the sea.
Mirajane's eyes turned cold. She flapped her wings again and took to the air. Facing the direction of the earthen ball, she slowly raised a hand. "Dark Torrent—!"
In an instant, the space directly in front of Mirajane fluctuated violently, and dozens of black giant claws made of pure shadow emerged as if from the abyss, frantically tearing at the dark red earth ball.
This was an indiscriminate coverage attack; she didn't even care about Ski, who was still standing near the clay ball.
Shiki spat, knowing that this irritable woman was not to be trifled with. Wisely, he did not retaliate with words, but instead used the Float-Float Fruit again to quickly fly away from the black claw's attack range.
Black claws raged wildly across the surface of the earthen ball, the shadow energy attempting to erode it. A few minutes later, when the attack ceased, the black claw shadows vanished without a trace, and the surface of the earthen ball remained as smooth as ever, without leaving even a scratch.
Mirajane narrowed his eyes, pondering whether to unleash a more powerful force, one that might come at a greater cost.
But on second thought, it didn't seem worth it to save Enel, whom I wasn't very familiar with.
"It seems that it is almost impossible to break through the domain from the outside. The defense of this thing, or rather the rules of its existence, are not on the same level as our power."
Shiki's face darkened, and he did not refute.
The facts are clear: he and Mirajane, a legendary pirate and a powerful receiver with unfathomable strength, couldn't even make the earth ball shake.
"We can only hope that Enel, that arrogant bastard, doesn't die too quickly," Mirajane sighed.
The expansion of this field may truly require a breakthrough from within; this is a deduction based on common sense and is currently the only seemingly reasonable hope.
Shiki glared at Blackbeard Teach in the distance, and finally snorted unwillingly, which was a tacit acceptance of Mirajane's judgment, and temporarily abandoned the plan to forcibly rescue Enel from the outside.
Even if a naval admiral were to arrive, he wouldn't be able to break through the "earth mound" formed by the iron-clad mountain surrounding the coffin.
