Kingpin was the first to notice something was wrong.
Upon sensing that overwhelming power, he immediately gave up resisting.
They then fled quickly into the open sea along the remaining bay!
As it turned out, Kingpin's choice was correct.
At this moment, dozens of miles from the coast,
Chakra, who had used all his Kingpin to escape, was no longer able to maintain his half-shark human form.
He was carrying the Samehada.
Watching the entire New York City collapse and spread uncontrollably,
His face was filled with blankness and disbelief.
The collapse eventually spread to several miles in front of the bay.
But countless building debris and pieces of land have already reached the edge of the bay.
Then, they all plunged into the sea!
Buildings and debris that didn't fall into the sea now surround the site that was once New York City.
It formed a huge circular wall!!
"This..."
"What is this...?"
Kingpin stared blankly at everything before him.
The countless building fragments that had been pushed into the sea were pushed just a dozen meters in front of him.
Kingpin could even see blood dripping down the rubble from the shattered building!
Is this... a dream?
Kingpin murmured.
Without thinking, he raised his hand and slapped himself, waking himself up.
Looking at the still-shocking scene before him, Kingpin gritted his teeth, shouldered his Samehada,
Then, he gathered his Chakra and, with a few leaps, climbed up the ruins that were tens of meters high.
Upon reaching the top of the ruins and looking ahead, Kingpin froze completely.
And there it was!
What should have been New York City is now completely empty.
All buildings and traces have vanished!
Stark Tower is gone, Kingpin Tower is gone, the same goes for the S.H.I.E.L.D.. Triskelion, and even Times Square has vanished!
What remained was a barren expanse of land, sunken in a large section, resembling a giant hemisphere.
As far as the eye could see, the line stretched to the very edge of the field of vision, and not a single person could be seen!
New York City --
Disappeared!!
Kingpin couldn't help but take a few steps back, then knelt on the ground.
The Samehada slipped from his hand and fell with a clatter onto the debris of the building.
Kingpin once thought that what the leader said was just the "bold talk" of someone having a fit of teenage angst.
But now he understands.
The leader of his own Akatsuki — Six Paths of Pain.
There truly is a power capable of causing pain to New York and the United States!!
At this point, Kingpin completely submitted.
From the inside out, he was directed towards the Akatsuki and its leader, Six Paths of Pain.
I am completely and utterly convinced!
Then, amidst these complex emotions, Kingpin looked up, slowly gazing at the sky.
He saw that the white light in the sky had disappeared.
A figure was floating there, slowly descending towards the ground below.
That was the figure of Deva Path Pain!
At this moment,
What kept echoing in Kingpin's mind were Deva Path Pain's words.
And scenes depicting the complete disappearance of the entire New York City.
Feel the pain.
Consider the pain.
Accept the pain.
Understand pain.
As a native New York, Kingpin very clear about what New York meant to the United States.
Although it is not the capital, New York, which almost became the capital, is of great importance.
New York is the largest city and largest port in the United States. The New York metropolitan area is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, and together with London and Hong Kong, it is known as "New York -China -Hong Kong"!
New York also wields enormous influence in commerce and finance.
New York's financial district, spearheaded by Lower Manhattan and Wall Street, is known as the world's financial center, with 17 of the world's top 500 companies headquartered in New York.
The New York Stock Exchange is the world's second-largest stock exchange. It was once the largest stock exchange until 1996 when its trading volume was surpassed by Nasdaq.
New York Times Square is located at the heart of the Broadway Theater District and is known as "the Crossroads of the World," as well as one of the world's entertainment industry centers.
Manhattan's Chinatown is the most densely populated Chinese community in the Western Hemisphere.
New York is also home to prestigious universities such as Columbia University, New York University, and Rockefeller University.
But even in such a New York, it was still controlled by the leader Six Paths of Pain.
It was destroyed outright!
It is conceivable that
From this day forward, the United States, and indeed the entire world...
Everyone will feel the pain personally!!
