Mangaka in the StrawHats

What the hell is this?!

They were witnessing an unthinkable power that had obliterated the entire Holy Land's elite agent force in mere moments.

"What now??" Saint Warcury's face contorted, his usually stoic expression marred with nervous uncertainty as he looked to Saint Saturn for guidance.

"What else can we do? We fight!!" Saint Saturn's tone was edged with both resolve and reluctance. Though clearly unnerved by the Terra Robots' sheer destructive might, the Five Elders were not ones to back down.

The power that earned them their high station had never relied on age alone...

In a world that revered strength, where survival belonged only to the fittest, standing atop the hierarchy required absolute power.

"Alright. No choice but to follow Lord Im's orders. We need only to hold them back—just long enough for Lord Im to intervene," Saint Ethan remarked, his voice steady as he gripped his scabbard tightly, the calm in his eyes betraying the resolve honed over decades.

In a fluid, synchronized movement, the five of them leaped from the walls of Mariejois, descending to the ground below.

Logan, observing their readiness, swiftly commanded the Terra Robots, "Melee attack!!"

Instantly, the electromagnetic field suspending the Terra Robots dissipated, and with a resounding crash, each robot landed on the ground, forming into pairs and charging toward the five Elders.

Saint JayGarcia Saturn let out a mighty roar, his entire body expanding in seconds. His form transformed, assuming the menacing shape of a Gyuki—a demonic creature resembling a colossal ox, dark horns curling from his head, his thick beard stretching longer, his body morphing into a spider-like creature with eight razor-sharp legs.

He lunged forward, striking with two of his legs, each move infused with raw physical power so intense it made the surrounding space tremble.

In response, a Terra Robot met his attack without hesitation, raising its own arm in a powerful counterstrike. The two limbs collided with a thunderous impact, sending shockwaves in all directions.

Boom!!—

The earth shook as the two titans were knocked back, both forced to recalibrate from the force of the collision.

What...?

For a moment, Saturn was taken aback, the surprise etched into his transformed features. This robot had matched his strength blow for blow. As a mythical Zoan user, his power ranked among the highest, even above that of Kaido himself. After decades of honing his skills, Saturn was used to being at the very pinnacle of power in this world.

Yet, against this robot, his strength was being equaled.

But there was no time for reflection~~~

Boom!

Another Terra Robot's fist launched toward him from the side.

Saturn quickly summoned a dark, powerful medium from within, coating all his limbs in it.

Armament Haki!!!

With his longevity and mythical Zoan abilities, Saturn's physical skills had not weakened with time but remained in their prime, sharpened and refined.

If brute strength alone is a match, let's see if they can withstand the might of Haki-enhanced attacks!

Channeling his Haki, Saturn swung his reinforced legs to smash the Terra Robot with immense force.

Yet, just as his limb was about to make contact, an even darker, denser Haki suddenly spread across the steel arm of the Terra Robot, flowing out like an inky tide to cover the entire arm in a black, shimmering armor~~~

In that moment, Saturn's eyes widened in utter disbelief.

Yes~~~

What he saw was beyond comprehension!!!

The robot's arm had manifested Armament Haki!

And not just any Haki—the density of this Haki was more domineering, more intense than his own!

Robots can wield Armament Haki?

Has this world gone mad...?

Or have I...?

Saint JayGarcia Saturn was paralyzed by the shock, his mind racing with disbelief.

But his shock was his undoing. As he wavered, another Terra Robot struck him from behind with a bone-crushing blow, fists landing precisely and mercilessly on his back.

Boom!!

A thunderous, earth-shattering roar echoed across the battlefield as Saturn reeled from the impact. Though his beast form granted him immense resilience, this blow was beyond even his capacity to absorb unscathed.

And this was no solitary strike...

The immense kinetic force froze Saturn's expression, his entire form rigid with the impact. In a swift retaliation, he swung forward with a fierce slash.

But as he gathered himself, the other Terra Robots' eyes glowed in unison.

"Identify Weakness!"

"Target locked!"

The initial two-to-one assault shifted as four other Terra Robots redirected their focus. Each of the four remaining Elders—St. Marcus Mars, St. Topman Warcury, St. Ethan Baron V. Nusjuro, and St. Shepherd Ju Peter—found themselves individually engaged, held down by two Terra Robots each.

The remaining six Terra Robots moved as one, their forms blurring with speed as they homed in on Saturn, encircling him with a ring of unstoppable force.

Saturn, still reeling from the recent blow, barely had time to register his surroundings before he found himself completely outnumbered.

I must be going mad!!!

This... this is beyond reason!!!

Bang!!

Another Terra Robot's fist drove into his back with unforgiving precision, sending him staggering forward.

Desperately, Saturn twisted, swinging his arms to counterattack.

Yet, each time he turned, another Terra Robot attacked from his blind spot.

Boom!

One more fist connected, striking his exposed back again.

And again, with full Armament Haki power~~~

"Ugh!!"

Saturn's voice choked in pain, his face pale as the blows kept coming.

Boom!

Boom!

Each strike landed with devastating force, breaking his form, overwhelming him, one brutal step at a time.

The six Terra Robots coordinated their attacks seamlessly, delivering punishing blows in unison.

At first, Saturn managed to deflect a few of the attacks.

But within seconds, their relentless assault broke through his defenses. Each subsequent strike weakened him further until he was entirely overpowered.

"No!!--"

The other Elders, witnessing Saturn's plight, let out anguished cries, unable to reach him, their horror evident as they saw him overwhelmed.

To them, Saturn appeared like a ragdoll, battered and helpless, each blow from the Terra Robots forcing his beast form to shudder uncontrollably.

With a series of devastating strikes, the Terra Robots shattered Saturn's beast form, reducing him to his original human state. Bruises covered his face, and blood streamed from countless wounds, his body broken and battered.

"Target neutralized."

"Proceed to eliminate remaining threats!"

As the six Terra Robots withdrew in unison, Saturn's body crumpled, tumbling to the ground with a lifeless grace, like a fallen leaf drifting on the wind. His body struck the earth with a dull, final thud~~~

The mighty Saint JayGarcia Saturn, one of the elders representing the highest echelon of power in the world, had become nothing more than a relic of the past, his formidable presence relegated to history.
