The Red Line's Collapse: The Beginning
Red Line – the former site of Mary Geoise.
That Holy Land, once known as the "God's High Ground," is now nothing but charred ruins.
The wind whipped up ashes, and dust swirled under the blazing sun, filling the air with the scent of sulfur and blood.
In the distance, the enormous crater that pierced the sky was still emitting Smoke.
That is where Imu fell, the graveyard of the Old World.
The waves crashed against the shattered edge of the continent, each sound like a heartbeat, as if the world itself were breathing.
At this moment, at the edge of the deep pit, a group of people gathered, a group capable of shaking history.
Roy, draped in a navy cloak gleaming with the Sweet Commander, stood at the very front.
Garp, Sabo, Law, Sentomaru, Seraphim Whitebeard --
And those two men, whose lives were miraculously brought back to the world stage by fate: Buggy and Bullet.
They come from different eras, standpoints, and beliefs, yet they stand side by side on the same wasteland.
Buggy's face was deathly pale, and his legs were trembling like drums.
His gaze was fixed on the stern-faced, Whitebeard young man with a powerful aura emanating from him, his voice almost cracking:
"Hey... hey! That... that guy... isn't that Whitebeard?! He's too young!!"
Law pushed up his hat brim, his tone calm. "Seraphim Whitebeard is the 'Ultimate Combat Body' created by Dr. Vegapunk based on Whitebeard's Lineage Factors."
"Physical abilities and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit have both been perfectly replicated."
In other words, this is the 'younger version of Whitebeard '.
Buggy collapsed backward with a thud. "Is your Navy an army or a god-making factory?!"
Bullet frowned, staring at the silent, massive figure, and let out a cold snort:
"Hmph, even legends can be copied... It seems I'm just a remnant of the past."
Yet, for the first time, he felt a tremor of near awe towards the word "navy."
Roy looked around.
The earth beneath our feet is riddled with cracks, and the waves surge beneath the broken walls, roaring like the breath of Beast.
Garp took a step forward, his military uniform Hunting Roar in the wind.
"Hey, you brat."
He grinned, his voice booming.
"Don't keep this old man waiting too long—tracing through world history isn't something you can do every day."
Roy smiled, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to signal to the others.
"Everyone—!"
"Today, we are about to change history!!"
"Boom!!"
The Air Quake, the waves echoed, as if the whole world was responding to this shout.
"Luo!!"
"Clear."
Luo took a deep breath, raised one palm, and Spatial Ripples spread outwards from between his fingers.
"ROOM -- Ultra-Wide Area Anatomical Realm!!"
A pale blue halo unfolded like the aurora borealis, engulfing a large Red Line.
The void was distorted, and bright cuts appeared on the spatial surface—like a blade slicing through the spine of a god.
"Buggy!!"
"Huh?! I-I'm--!"
Buggy paused for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth, his eyes hardened, and his entire aura changed drastically.
"Ugh--I don't care what happens next!!"
The power of the Chop-Chop Fruit erupted completely, and red light shot out from his body!
"Let the world fall apart!"
"Bang--!"
At that moment, the earth shattered like glass!
The combined spatial Cut of Law and the splitting ability of Buggy created countless crisscrossing light cracks across the surface of the Red Line.
That massive red crust was indeed slowly detaching from the main ridge, as if an entire continent had been "peeled" out!
The rock strata bulged, and waves of dust rose into the sky!
"Sabo!"
"They're here--!"
Sabo instantly leaped into the air and slammed his palms down onto the floating rock formation.
"Boom--!"
With a furious roar, the entire Earth's crust rose up like a planet derailing from its orbit, suspended in mid-air!
A fierce wind swept across the sea, and waves hundreds of meters high rolled and roared!
The other side of the deep pit--
The wind howled like thunder, and dust billowed.
Seraphim Whitebeard slowly raised his fists, his black cloak Hunting Roar in the fierce wind.
That young face, so identical to Edward Newgate's, held no smile, no fighting spirit, only a cold and imposing aura, as if carrying out Divine Oracle.
"Gulala--"
He growled in a low voice, his familiar laughter echoing through the ruins, and the next instant—
"Vibrate!!"
He slammed his fists out!
The air was pierced, and the earth cracked like a mirror!
The vibrating ripples spread out in visible circular patterns, piercing through the heavens and earth!
"Click--click--click--!"
The sound of layers of the earth's crust cracking was like countless Arlong writhing underground!
The magma veins beneath the ground were torn apart, seawater gushed out from the fissures, and steam instantly filled the sky!
At this moment, the Red Line began to groan.
"Old man!"
Roy's voice came from the dust and smoke!
"They're here!!"
The old hero took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with a fierce light.
He lowered his body, slowly gathering power in his fist.
The air began to tremble.
The ground around Garp cracked instantly, and the shockwave exploded like a typhoon, leaving the rubble beneath his feet suspended in mid-air!
"Iron Fist - Core-Shattering Strike--!"
"Boom!!"
The Impact, amplified fiftyfold, erupted instantly, the shockwave extending and overlapping along with the seismic waves of Seraphim Whitebeard.
It's like two bolts of lightning striking the earth's core at the same time!
The backbone of the Red Line is completely broken!
"Boom--Rumble--Rumble--!"
The earth churned, fissures pierced the sky, and the red continent was torn into countless floating fragments.
The volcano erupted, sending dust and smoke soaring into the sky, as if the whole world was collapsing.
"Sentomaru! Bullet!"
"Clear!"
"Hmph--They actually made me clean up this mess!"
Sentomaru stepped onto the vibrating rock formation, his entire body bursting with gray light.
The power of the Stone-Stone Fruit transformed into a violent energy flow, spreading along the earth's veins and forcibly controlling the scattered fragments of the continent.
Countless rocks converged in the air, transforming into a torrent of boulders that crashed into the sea.
Bullet roared, his muscles bulged, and his body rapidly expanded!
"Combine-Combine Fruit - Ultimate Titan Mode!!"
"Boom!!"
The shattered chunks instantly came to him, and he transformed into a rock giant hundreds of meters tall, his fists roaring like mountains.
Sentomaru leaped and landed on his shoulder, their abilities merging in mid-air.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of fragments from the red continent were forcibly fused together by their power into a massive meteorite cluster!
"Target—the sea!!"
Bullet roared and swung both arms!
"Drink up--!"
"Boom--!"
In that instant, it was as if the entire sky had been pierced!
The synthesized giant rock was thrown directly into the sea, and the force of gravity and Impact created a massive tsunami!
Giant waves, like thousand-foot-long dragons, surged straight into the sky, and the sea and sky merged into one at that moment!
The skeleton of the Red Line completely disintegrated amidst tremors, collapses, combined forces, and roars.
Seawater rushed in through the breach, roaring and churning!
On the distant sea, Shirahoshi closed her eyes and clasped her hands together. Countless Sea Kings emerged from the deep sea, their enormous figures surrounding the collapsing continent, supporting the falling rocks and blocking the Impact of the tsunami!
Her voice was clear and firm. "All children of the sea—let us unite to protect this world!!"
The Sea Kings roared in response, and the sea surface churned violently!
At that moment, the whole world trembled.
The "Red Barrier" that had stood for eight hundred years, the high wall that once symbolized divine authority and separated humanity, finally began to crumble amidst Thunderclap and flames!
The waves of the North Blue meet, and the blue ocean currents of the East and West converge!
The heavens and earth roared, and a New Strait spanning the world was born amidst blazing light and storms!
For the first time, the waters of the East Blue, the West Blue, the South Blue, and the North Blue merged into one.
Everyone who witnessed this scene live, whether commoners, kings, or soldiers, held their breath.
At that moment, they finally understood that the world had been reconnected by humanity itself.
All the participants saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This crazy plan is actually feasible!!
