# Chapter 666: Has That Man Arrived?!
That sound tugged at the heartstrings of hundreds of millions of Audience.
Especially the Citizens living in the Imperial Arms World, even those residing in The Empire and Shenhe Island Nation. One second they had just shown expressions of relief, the next, terror resurfaced on their faces.
This was because the various Energy Bullet or Energy Beam attacks the Imperial Guardian Mech had fired indiscriminately earlier, while most had landed in the vast and boundless Great Sea, but some that flew north and west had successively fallen within the borders of the two nations.
Some 'lucky' people had even witnessed streaks of red Meteor dragging long fiery tails as they flew over cities.
Not long after, they could feel the Ground subtly shaking, and when a strong Wind blew, they could hear the Roar of explosions in their ears. They knew this was the Commotion caused by the 'Meteor' landing.
No one knew which mountain or which Town had suffered.
Of course, there were also some 'more lucky' people who, having done nothing at all, simply saw a dazzling red Aura fall from overhead, and then... and then they were gone.
This had caused the nerves of the Citizens in both nations to be constantly strained during this period.
Everyone gathered in Open Ground, trembling as they looked up at the wildly rampaging Imperial Guardian Mech on the large Virtual Screen.
The Citizens of The Empire felt the most complex emotions.
Because according to the introduction by the World Government's Propaganda Department commentator, that was their own Supreme Imperial Arm, and the operator was also their own His Majesty the Emperor.
\[Click, click, click...]
However, the unfolding reality would not change because of people's Fear and Nervousness. Streaks of crimson Light continuously shone through the 'White Cocoon'.
Until, with a Loud Noise and a Roar, a dazzling red Aura exploded, swallowing all the Black Ice Crystal and white Divine Dragon Strings.
"Roar——————"
The familiar Tyrannosaurus Roar reappeared. The Dragon Transformation Imperial Guardian Mech swung its thick, long Dragon Tail, constantly roaring at the Powerhouses around it.
It seemed to be showing off, and also provoking.
However, its appearance was much more battered than before.
The Blue Coat and purple skirt armor it originally wore had vanished without a trace.
The platinum, blue, and white Metal military cap and black Metal Armor were completely red, with some edges even showing signs of melting.
Clearly, the Energy it had released to break free had also caused it some damage, after all, this wasn't a virtual game where there was a setting for friendly fire immunity.
Of course, it did have a certain level of resistance.
But this also left Newgate, Garp, Sakazuki, and the others unsure of what to do.
For a time, everyone could only cope with the Imperial Guardian Mech's various violent attacks while having Kuzan, Heimalin, Divine Dragon, and Dean Isaac continue to try and restrain the opponent.
Even temporary Restraint was better than letting it keep going berserk.
Meanwhile, the Higher-ups of the World Government's Otherworld Strategy Committee, the Military's Command Department, CIPHER POL Headquarters, and other Departments were also thinking of a Method to solve the problem.
The Main Body Strength of this Imperial Guardian Mech was similar to their Admirals, but the Destructive Power of its 'Supreme Energy Bullet' was comparable to the legendary 'Dark King'.
The only issue was that the condensation Time for its release was a bit long, making it easy for beings of the same level to dodge.
It could be said to be a pure War Weapon.
So, how could they Control it without destroying it, and while trying their best not to harm the Emperor inside?
Or, how could they make the Emperor inside regain consciousness?
Kaido and Newgate had already confirmed that Conqueror's Haki was ineffective.
This problem truly stumped everyone.
Just as the Five Elders in the Room of Authority at Holy Land Mary Geoise were also frowning deeply, looking at the chaotic Battle Situation on the Screen Feed and lost in Thought, the Golden Den Den Mushi on the Coffee Table suddenly began to Purururu.
Imperial Arms World.
The World gradually fell into an Atmosphere as if Doomsday was approaching. An Atmosphere of Unease spread through The Empire, Shenhe, and even the distant Alchemy Kingdom.
The ignorant lower-class Citizens were unaware of the World Government's various concerns.
They only saw the 'Deity' figures in the Screen Feed, who had previously displayed Natural Disaster-like power, now surrounding the rampaging Imperial Guardian Mech, completely helpless.
Although they could freeze it occasionally, it would break free from the ominous red Aura every time.
Even the 'well-informed' Audience from the Sea Star Mainland felt a sense of disbelief at this moment.
They had already Familiarized themselves quite well with these Admirals of the World Government.
Especially 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate, and the former 'Marine Hero', now Marine Headquarters Admiral, Monkey D. Garp.
These two were already famous in the past, and in recent years, they had become household names.
But now, even they seemed to have no Method, let alone the other four Admiral Level Combat Power individuals present.
This was enough to elevate the Imperial Guardian Mech's Strength to an extremely high Status in the hearts of the Sea Star People.
What now?
This question instantly circled in the minds of the Citizens of the five Worlds, and even Sakazuki, Kuzan, and the others.
It was still the same point.
Destroying the Imperial Guardian Mech was not difficult. The difficulty was how to make it stop without destroying it!
"This is really a bit tricky now..."
Garp first sighed helplessly, then casually slapped away an incoming red Aura Energy Beam with a bang, sending it elsewhere.
For them, as long as it wasn't a 'Supreme Energy Bullet', it posed no threat.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Garp noticed a shadow cast overhead, which surprised him greatly. "Didn't Borsalino activate his Awakening? Why are there Dark Clouds?"
Newgate, Sakazuki, Kuzan, and the others in other locations also instinctively looked up in surprise.
And Borsalino, who was already at High Altitude, was the first person to look overhead.
His Eyes under his yellow Sunglasses suddenly widened, and shock filled his entire face.
The expressions of the others who saw it subsequently, as well as the Super Dangerous Beasts from the Imperial Arms World like Shenhe, Heimalin, and Bulat, were all the same.
And the Audience from various Worlds who, following the Den Den Mushi on the Flying Warships, looked higher up under the Control of the Propaganda Department Officials and witnessed the Screen Feed, were also stunned as if instantly turned to Petrification.
What did they see?
They saw a Green Sky Gate open up in the clear blue Sky, a Gate so large it was beyond description, seeming to completely occupy the Sky above, yet slowly opening to both sides...
What was even more terrifying was that from the Green Space within that 'Sky Gate', a white object was pushed out, something that looked like a Ship, but was excessively huge...
When its front part, the part that looked like a Bow, entered this World, instantly, the Golden Emblem on its pure white surface was reflected in all the trembling gazes.
It was a golden pattern composed of a perfect circle and four sharp, elongated triangles, seemingly the palm print of some kind of Creature.
The Citizens of the other Otherworlds might not Understand.
But many people on Sea Star recognized it at a glance, and because they recognized it, they involuntarily showed Fear, and even trembled all over.
The symbol of the World Noble, the Celestial Dragons!
The Heavenly Soaring Dragon's Hoof!
"That is..."
'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate's Pupils suddenly contracted.
His right hand gripping the Murakumogiri Sword Hilt tightened even further, causing its Blade to seemingly recall the Suffering of the past, trembling and wailing faintly.
"Has that man arrived..."
