Thrill-Seeking Shiryu!
"What is it?"
"Sea monster?"
In the Great Stick Country, at the Naval Operations Command in Busan, the current Chief of Staff Naval Staff, 55-year-old Li Deshi, stared in astonishment at his subordinate who came to report.
"Yes, that's the last telegram sent by Kim Won-hoon Vice Admiral Kim Won-hoon's Daejoyeong. It said that a group of sea monsters, each over two meters tall and resembling humanoid fish, attacked them!"
The young man spoke in a heavy tone.
"Immediately order the Third Fleet from Mokpo Port to come and provide support, and also have people start laying minefields. If it really is a sea monster, it will most likely attack from the seabed like a submarine!"
To be honest, Li Deshi really didn't want to believe that there was any sea monster in the world that could destroy a powerful fleet, but the facts were right in front of him, and as the supreme commander of the navy, he had to treat it with caution.
Sudden.
A tremendous tremor shook the earth, accompanied by a loud roar, which greatly alarmed all levels of the navy in the command headquarters.
"Was there an earthquake?!"
"But why do earthquakes sometimes make explosion sounds?"
"Stop talking nonsense, the alarm's already going off, let's get out there first!"
Soon, the entire Marine Base, including Chief of Staff Li Deshi, entered a state of emergency, with large numbers of naval officers and soldiers running from their respective buildings to open areas.
But then they realized that the earthquake had passed quickly and there was no more movement.
At the same time.
The Busan Metropolitan Police Department was in complete chaos.
"Chief! It's Haeundae! A Titans wielding a large sword has appeared over there, moving rapidly in the northwest direction!" a police officer shouted anxiously.
"Ha?"
"What kind of idiot are you talking about!" Director Park Heung-an looked over in disbelief, while the surrounding police officers also gave him a look that said, "Are you out of your mind?"
"But it's true!"
On the other side, near the Haeundae Grand Hotel.
The place was filled with screams and cries of terror. Large numbers of men and women were running away frantically, adults carrying children, elderly people falling to the ground, and couples going their separate ways.
This scene felt like an impending cataclysmic tsunami, as if the world was about to end.
A blond Titans, as tall as a two-story building, strode briskly down the wide main street, completely ignoring the Korean civilians frantically fleeing around him.
The black Coat of Justice swayed up and down behind him with the ripples in the air.
With each step he took, a spiderweb-like network of cracks appeared on the originally fairly flat ground.
This Titans was none other than Edward Newgate, the "Whitebeard," who traversed the East Blue in the air using Geppo.
After arriving here, I didn't want to fly any further, so I chose to land and decided to walk to the capital of this Great Stick Country.
But his massive body, maintaining near-sonic speed, exploded the ground the moment it hit the beach. The surging air currents pushed against layers of yellow sand, instantly engulfing an area of hundreds of meters in radius.
Newgate didn't care about any of that.
Although he was not the kind of villain who enjoyed killing civilians for fun, he did not feel remorse or guilt for harming civilians.
Freedom and unrestraint are the very essence of a great One Piece, even if he is no longer One Piece.
"Um?"
But at that moment, a large group of South Korean police officers in black uniforms and armed with guns appeared at the other end of the street. One of them, whose attire was more conspicuous, was speaking into a megaphone.
The problem is, how could Newgate possibly understand any Korean?
"Looks like an army. In that case, I won't stand on ceremony." Newgate narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them.
His pace didn't slow down at all; instead, he strode forward, his large naginata, 'Murakumogiri,' eager to be used.
"Fire! Fire!"
Upon seeing this, the Korean police officer with the megaphone immediately realized that there was no possibility of communication and promptly issued the order to attack.
[Bang bang bang bang.]
Bullets shot out from the Huoguang, leaving trails in the air, but this seemingly terrifying rain of bullets was blocked by a Formless wall of air about two meters away from the Titans.
This scene terrified all the South Korean police officers. The gun wasn't working; what were they going to do?
The next second.
Newgate swept his 'Murakumogiri' across his body, and the air in front of him instantly boiled, transforming into a crescent-shaped air blade that shone with white light.
[Boom!]
In the blink of an eye, the police blocking the way, the cement ground, the buildings, and even the civilians who hadn't run far all vanished without a trace in the white light.
If you look down on Busan from above, you can see a yellowish-brown fan-shaped area!
For the rest of the journey...
Whitebeard encountered various interceptions from the Great Stick Country, with a large number of the Army troops desperately attacking him, and more than a dozen biplanes flying overhead at all times.
Unfortunately, at this point in time, there are no fighter jets with machine guns mounted on their aircraft; their only purpose is to take photographs and provide intelligence to higher-ups.
Their most powerful tactic was the relentless bombardment by hundreds of field artillery pieces.
But none of this could stop Edward Newgate's advance; he was determined to strike at the heart of the enemy, tirelessly 'fighting' these Otherworld armies.
What Great Stick Country is experiencing is something other countries are going through as well.
For example, the Great Mengma Empire next to it, whose current Army General 'Dusk Rhino', also known as Byndi Wald, is currently transformed into a black Titans hundreds of meters tall, smashing cities along the way.
Like Whitebeard, he made the same choice: after crossing the sea, he no longer wanted to fly, but instead planned to fight his way to the capital!
Next to the Great Mengma Empire was the White Elephant Empire.
At this moment, their capital, New Delhi, is bathed in brilliant golden light, and the streets and alleys are filled with kneeling people, all of them kneeling in devout worship with tears streaming down their faces.
In the air.
Sengoku, who had transformed into a golden Buddha, watched this scene speechlessly. He had originally planned to wait for the army here to attack him before unleashing Shockwave from his palm.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he transformed, all the White Elephant people knelt down, shouting in a completely incomprehensible language. However, their fanatical appearance was not hard to understand.
What do we do now?
"Could we talk to their higher-ups? Surely someone there speaks English or Wano Language?"
Thinking of this, Sengoku looked toward the magnificent Delhi Palace. Sure enough, the king and nobles inside were kneeling on the ground, worshipping him with great excitement.
However, the situation in the White Elephant Kingdom is a complete exception!
Elsewhere, chaos reigned, especially in Southeast Asia, which had been embroiled in the conflict with Indian Monkey Country of the Shiryu of the Rain.
Banjarmasin, once a bustling and large port city, is now utterly desolate, as if the only sounds are the waves, the wind, and the birdsong.
[Pfft----]
On a certain street, a flash of scarlet light appeared, and four terrified men and women were instantly decapitated. Immediately afterwards, a black boot stained with blood appeared beside them.
"It's so much fun with so many people! It's so much fun!"
Shiryu of the Rain, draped in a black Coat of Justice, with a large, smoking cigar dangling from his lips, took a deep, intoxicated drag of smoke. As he exhaled, he lazily glanced behind him.
Following his gaze, all he could see were gruesome corpses everywhere, and the further he looked, the more numerous they became, with rivers of blood flowing through the streets.
He actually took all the people in Banjarmasin.
