The tuning fork crab army was thrown into complete chaos, their proud resonance field shattered by the tyrannical sonic wave.

They were no longer a well-coordinated orchestra, but had become a group of panicked crabs that couldn't find their rhythm.

"Now! Fourth movement! Finale! The symphony of destruction!"

Ryan pointed the ladle in his hand sharply forward, issuing the final command.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

The crowd roared in unison, unleashing their full power!

All the sounds and all the power converged at this moment into an invisible, visible, spiraling torrent of terrifying sound waves, like an ancient behemoth awakening, crashing down on the already routed tuning fork crab army!

Rumble!

This time, it was no longer a silent confrontation.

The entire viscous, amber-colored sea was stirred up by this force, churning violently like boiling syrup.

Those dozens of enormous tuning fork crabs were as fragile as paper lanterns in the face of this destructive torrent of sound waves.

Their hard shells were instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and then, amidst a series of mournful cries of unbearable strain, they shattered with a deafening roar, turning into a sky full of dazzling fragments, like a torrential downpour of rainbow colors.

The battle concluded in a way that was both artistic and aesthetically pleasing.

"Hahaha! We won! We smashed the Crab Band!"

Gatz excitedly threw the baton into the air, but he used too much force, and the baton, made of sea monster tendons, flew off and landed somewhere unknown.

"Gurarararar! Well done!"

Newgate burst into laughter, feeling as if he were attending one of the world's top, most exhilarating rock concerts.

However, there was no sign of relaxation on Ryan's face.

He looked at the sea, which had returned to calm but now seemed even deeper and more dangerous, and said calmly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the prelude has just ended."

"The real main course is about to be served."

Almost the instant he finished speaking, a colossal whirlpool, thousands of meters in diameter, appeared without warning in the center of the amber-colored sea.

The center of the whirlpool was not the dark seabed, but a more dazzling and dreamlike rainbow of light.

Immediately afterwards, an unimaginably huge creature, resembling a floating island, slowly rose from the center of the vortex.

It was a huge sea anemone, like a blooming lotus flower.

Each of its tentacles is a different color, as vibrant as a rainbow, and at the tip of each tentacle grows a vocal organ that resembles a giant flower bud.

It simply floated there silently, without making a sound, but an invisible yet immense pressure, as if containing all the melodies of the world, instantly enveloped the entire sea area.

That beautiful, heavenly song rang out once again.

But this time, it was no longer a gentle lullaby, but a deadly symphony filled with judgment and destruction!

The seven-colored energy streams in the sky seemed to be summoned by it, transforming into thick pillars of energy light, like divine punishment spears, fiercely blasting towards the ancestral giant tortoise!

This is the true master of this sea area—the Symphony Anemone!

Chapter 297 Law Destroyer - Ultimate Vinegar

Faced with the seven-colored energy beams descending like divine punishment, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they all revealed even more excited expressions.

"Hahaha! This guy looks even more energetic than all those crabs combined!"

Gatz was the first to carry the anchor and go forward. He felt like he had just warmed up and was worried about not having a worthy opponent.

"Diamond Reflective Wall!"

Joz roared, and his massive body once again transformed into an insurmountable wall of sighs, the dazzling diamond light enveloping the entire Primordial Tortoise.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The seven-colored energy beams struck the diamond wall solidly, unleashing a deafening roar and splashing up a dazzling rain of light.

Joz's indestructible diamond body let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, and two deep footprints were left on the tortoise shell beneath his feet, but he still managed to withstand this devastating attack.

"This can't go on!"

Raine's voice rang out again, and like the most composed battlefield analyst, he instantly saw through the true nature of this behemoth.

"This Symphony Anemone itself is not very aggressive. Its power comes from its manipulation of the energy of the surrounding environment. The colorful sky is its largest arsenal. As long as we are still in its territory, its attacks will never stop."

"So what should we do? Just charge in and chop it down?"

Vista's twin swords were already imbued with a fierce and domineering aura, eager to unleash their power.

"No."

Renn shook his head.

"Its true form exists somewhere between physical matter and energy; ordinary physical attacks have little effect on it, unless..."

Renn's gaze sharpened.

"We can find and destroy the core within it that is responsible for converting energy."

"What's the core?"

Newgate's voice was as steady as a mountain.

"I do not know."

Ryan's answer surprised everyone.

"However, I can make it hand over the core on its own."

A confident smile appeared on Ryan's lips.

He turned and walked back to his sacred kitchen, a place full of endless possibilities.

This time, instead of taking out any strange percussion instruments, he retrieved a seemingly ordinary jar made of special sea stone from the deepest part of the food storage room.

He opened the jar, and an indescribable, domineering aroma, a mixture of extreme sourness and strong fermentation, instantly filled the air!

The smell was so pungent and unreasonable that even those engaged in fierce combat on the deck couldn't help but shiver.

"Ugh... Head Chef! Where did you pull this thing from that thousand-year-old, pickled toilet?!"

Gatz was the first to let out a painful howl; he felt as if the smell was corroding his nose.

"This is the original venom secreted by the brewing dragon I collected in the Sea of ​​Fermentation after it was infected with the Mourning Bacteria. After purification and concentration, and the addition of dozens of spices that can trigger violent chemical reactions, it was fermented for a full three months..."

Renn introduced it calmly, as if he were describing a top-notch delicacy.

“I call it… the Law Breaker, Ultimate Vinegar.”

Everyone: "..."

Looking at the jar of black liquid emanating an ominous aura in Renn's hand, they suddenly felt that the Symphony Anemone opposite them, capable of triggering divine punishment, didn't seem so terrifying after all.

Raine ignored the horrified expressions on everyone's faces.

He handed the jar of ultimate vinegar to Dorum.

"Same as always, use the space-based orbital food delivery cannon, target: that guy's mouth."

"Yes...yes! Head Chef!"

Dorum's face broke into a smile that was more like a grimace. He felt that the purpose of the cannon he had designed had completely changed from delivering food supplies to delivering biological weapons.

Amidst the sympathetic and pitying gazes of the crowd, a shell exuding the world's most terrifying stench traced a perfect parabola through the air, piercing with unparalleled precision into the enormous bud of the Symphony Anemone, which was unfolding and singing its deadly symphony.

"Roar?"

The Symphony Anemone seemed to have no idea that what it was inhaling was not pure energy, but something with a taste that was... indescribable.

Its flower bud, which was singing a heavenly song, suddenly froze, and its huge body convulsed violently due to the sudden stimulation.

The next second, the domineering and unparalleled corrosive power of the Law Destroyer - Ultimate Vinegar exploded within its body!

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

A piercing scream, unlike anything any living being could make, filled with pain, anger, and a sourness that made one question the meaning of life, emanated from the sea anemone's body!

Its dazzling seven-colored tentacles, as if splashed with strong acid, instantly became dull and withered, and the originally harmonious energy cycle was completely thrown into chaos.

The colorful energy stream in the sky also became violent due to the loss of its command. Uncontrolled energy beams slashed down haphazardly, some even hitting the stream itself directly, splashing up a rain of light.

Amidst the chaos, a peculiar seashell, the size of a fist, dazzling like iridescent glass and constantly shifting in light, was forcibly expelled from the anemone's withered tentacles and fell into the vortex below.

That is another legendary ingredient in this sea area - the rainbow aurora shell!

It is also the energy core of the Symphony Anemone!

"Now!"

With a command from Renn.

Newgate was already poised to strike. He threw a punch, and the invisible shockwave instantly smoothed out the huge vortex, firmly holding up the colorful aurora shell that was about to sink to the bottom of the sea.

Marco transformed into a streak of blue light, swooping down at top speed to retrieve the treasure.

A momentous battle finally came to an end in a way that was full of flavor.

Having lost its core, the symphony anemone let out a mournful cry of resentment. Its enormous body slowly disintegrated, transforming into countless dazzling specks of light that merged back into the ocean.

And the ever-changing, multicolored sky gradually returned to its normal blue.

That evening, a unique feast of sound unfolded on the back of the ancestral giant tortoise.

Using the hard-won seven-colored aurora shell as the main ingredient, and paired with the crab roe of the tuning fork crab that he had previously cooked with sonic ensemble, Raine created a dish called Celestial Sea Glass Soup.

The soup had a dreamlike, seven-colored sheen, as if the entire starry sky had been incorporated into it.

After finishing a bowl of soup, I didn't gain any strength.

But everyone's face showed an expression of unparalleled happiness, as if they were listening to the most beautiful music in the world.

They could clearly feel that their taste buds had been given hearing.

The deliciousness of the soup resonated in my mouth like a magnificent symphony.

The salty aroma of crab roe is the steady drumbeat, the sweetness of clam meat is the melodious string music, and the ever-changing and unique flavor from the aurora clam is the most gorgeous and unpredictable... main melody of this piece.

They seemed to have truly... tasted the sound.

As Raine looked at the system notification that appeared in his mind, a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

Another 500,000 experience points and 200,000 cooking points have been added.

This trip is getting more and more interesting...

Chapter 298 Heading to Elbaf

The celestial feast of the sea of ​​music leaves a lingering aftertaste far longer than imagined.

It was not just a feast for the senses, but a sensory re-baptism from the inside out.

Over the next few days, bizarre and fantastical scenes unfolded almost daily on the deck of the Primordial Giant Tortoise.

"Hey! Gatz! Can you please not make a melody when you burp?!"

Dorum's roar ripped through the air as he rushed forward like a gust of wind, trying to use his not-so-strong body to shut up Gatz's huge mouth.

However, it was too late.

"Hiccup~ Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Suo~"

Gatz let out a huge burp with a perfect pitch.

A visible, spiraling sound wave swept out instantly, making the mast that Dorum had just repaired vibrate loudly, like a fully stretched harp string, for a long time.

"Hahaha! Dorum, listen, our ship is singing!"

Gatz scratched his head, looking completely innocent. He felt like even his farts were in C major now.
