A Suicide-Bombing Explosion

Sengoku sat in his office, handling official business.

A cup of coffee, already cold, sat on the table; he hadn't even had a chance to take a few sips because he was so busy.

A secretary, an assistant to a naval officer, quietly entered, placed a steaming cup of tea on the table, and removed the coffee.

Changes within the Marine Headquarters, the expansion of various Marine Branch, and reforms.

The Grand Line, and the emerging pirates in the New World —all these matters were compiled by the Staff Department and sent to him.

As the navy developed, the Sengoku saw its leisure time decrease and its people become increasingly busy.

The navy is now recovering and developing, and it needs a stable environment. If it can maintain this for a few years, there won't be so many problems, and the Sengoku can finally relax.

More importantly, there is news about Bondy a now. According to intelligence from the World Government, Bondy a has arrived at the Grand Line.

Based on the traces he left behind, Bondy a's target was not the World Government.

Since it's not the World Government, it can only be the Navy. Therefore, the Marine Headquarters has begun relocating the families of Navy personnel and ordinary residents from the rear.

To prevent these ordinary people from suffering huge casualties.

In the war against the Flying Pirates, the beast army that descended from the sky cost them a great deal, with many residents in the rear dying as a result.

This is a huge blow to some of the navy's internal operations.

On the vast ocean, a warship is sailing. This is a naval patrol, conducting a routine patrol of the waters surrounding Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

What was originally just symbolic has now expanded significantly in number.

"Hey! There's a small boat over there, and nobody's on it." The lookout looked around at the sea through his binoculars and suddenly spotted a simple boat.

"Hmm? Something's strange. Everyone be careful. If it's Bondy a, it means he's already discovered us." The leading navy officer looked somewhat wary.

The Navy is now searching for Bondy a, a any unusual occurrences during this process are linked to Bondy.

"Is there anything on that small boat?"

"Yes, there are several spherical, shell-like objects, which might be weapons."

That brings us to this.

Gurgle! My heart is pounding.

The navy personnel present immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

"Quickly! Notify headquarters!" The colonel at the head of the unit ordered urgently, his eyes wide.

But it was too late.

"Momo, a hundred times bigger!"

Following the sound, they looked up at the sky and saw Bondy a standing in the air, which made them shrink back. His calm gaze seemed to devour them.

Unexpectedly, they were so lucky that they actually met Bondy a.

Bondy a held a pebble in his hand and swung it forcefully at the warship on the sea.

The pebble was launched at the speed of a cannonball, hurtling towards the warship. Under the influence of the More-More Fruit's power, the pebble instantly magnified a hundredfold, transforming into a giant rock.

It plummeted downwards with terrifying force and speed.

Boom!

The boulder crashed onto the warship, piercing through the entire vessel from the center with immense force, shattering it, and bending it inwards.

The attack by the boulder caught everyone completely off guard, and the entire warship was destroyed in an instant.

Large numbers of sailors were crushed to death by the impact of the boulders, and their bodies floated to the surface amidst the splashing seawater.

Having done all this, Bondy a didn't dwell on it. He returned to his small boat, grabbed the collar on the Plague Bomb, and used Geppo to quickly ascend into the air, except for the container wrapped around his body.

Marine Headquarters is not far ahead.

Not long after, from the wreckage of the warship, several surviving marines surfaced, holding Den Den Mushi). "Report! We've been attacked! Bondy... Byrnndi World has arrived at headquarters!"

Meanwhile, the news spread throughout the Marine Headquarters in a very short time.

The entire Marine Headquarters mobilized, with the weaker marines evacuating in advance. Bondy a held the Dyna Stone, which, if detonated, would cause massive casualties to the Navy.

To deal with Bondy a, only high-end combatants are needed; the rest are not only incapable of participating in the battle, but staying behind would only be a death sentence.

Borsalino patrolled high in the sky, searching for Bondy a's whereabouts.

At an even higher altitude, nearly 10,000 meters, Bondy a dropped ten Plague Bomb down one by one.

With ropes wrapped around his body and eight Dyna Stone attached, Bondy a followed closely behind, descending from the sky.

Bondy a has already taken action, and the Marine Headquarters simply cannot evacuate all of its marines in such a short time. The number of warships is already limited, and sending out a portion is already the limit for them.

The other marines scattered and ran on the ice created by the Kuzan Ice Age, far away from Marine Headquarters, protected by former Admiral and Chief Instructor Black Arm Zephyr, and Vice Admiral Garp.

Dealing with Bondy a doesn't require that many top-tier fighters, and besides, these marines are the future and foundation of the navy.

Otherwise, it's uncertain how long it will take for the navy to recover.

"Damn it! Our navy is actually going to leave the Marine Headquarters one day." The navy personnel leaving the headquarters naturally include those from the Marine Elite Training Camp, some of the navy's key training targets.

A young navy officer with short white hair and two large cigars dangling from his mouth said, clearly displeased.

"Be honest, Smoker. Blame it on your own weakness. We can't handle an enemy like that, especially with such terrifying weapons." Hina, a female Marine with long pink hair and a classmate of Smoker, gave him an unfriendly look.

The fear is that the unruly Smoker might act on his own.

"You don't want to die, do you? You saw the destruction of the Holy Land. Even with your Logia Devil Fruit power, you'll still die."

Although her tone was rather harsh, those who knew her understood that Hina was thinking of Smoker.

"Hmph! I'm just a little unwilling to accept it." Smoker was not overestimating himself, but he felt somewhat humiliated.

Suddenly, a gust of wind, like an impact, was heard, and many people noticed the unusual phenomenon and instinctively looked up.

A Plague Bomb fell from the sky at such a high speed that neither Zephyr nor Garp could reach it in a short time, as the area covered by the ice was too large.

Moreover, there were not just one Plague Bomb falling from the sky, but a full ten.

Falling from a height of 10,000 meters, four fell towards Marineford, three towards the sea, and three landed on the ice floes, where many marines were stationed.

Zephyr and Garp attacked simultaneously, rushing towards the two Plague Bomb closest to them.

Although they are not Dyna Stone, one can imagine that they must be weapons with enormous destructive power.

Once it breaks out, it is conceivable that it will cause enormous casualties.

Therefore, they must not be allowed to fall to the ground; they must be caught.

The third Plague Bomb landed right where Smoker and his group were.

At this critical moment, a figure appeared—it was Kuzan —who released a massive amount of icy air. "Frozen Time Capsule!"

The ice bullet, imbued with terrifying cold, accurately struck the descending Plague Bomb, instantly freezing it solid, turning it into a dud as it slammed onto the ice surface.

"It's Admiral Aokiji!"

Upon seeing Kuzan appear, the surrounding marines looked on with delight.

Just now, they almost thought they were going to die.

"Be careful, everyone. This looks like Virus Bomb, and it appears to have been made by the Beasts Pirates." Kuzan's gaze fell on the frozen Plague Bomb.

He also had some knowledge of weapons. This huge bomb was clearly not Dyna Stone. Although it didn't have the Beasts Pirates' special markings, Kuzan could tell the general structure of the bomb. It was very similar to the Beasts Pirates' Plague Bomb, but many times larger in size.

In comparison, its power is far more terrifying.

Then, upon seeing the timer on the Plague Bomb, Kuzan's expression changed.

This Plague Bomb is timed; the countdown has already begun. Even if you catch it, it will still erupt when the time is up.

The Beasts Pirates' sinister intentions are self-evident.

On the other side, Zephyr and Garp, seeing the countdown numbers, also realized something was wrong and quickly ran towards Kuzan.

"Kuzan, next."

Garp and Zephyr, each holding Plague Bomb, hurled it high into the sky towards Kuzan.

"Ice Time Capsule!" Kuzan unleashed his attack once more, a long-range strike that locked onto the two Plague Bomb.

In just a few seconds, it covered a distance of a kilometer and directly froze two Plague Bomb, before they could fully detonate.

The successful freezing was a relief.

Kuzan's abilities are most effective against Dyna Stone and Plague Bomb, as they can directly prevent Dyna Stone from coming into contact with the air.

"I'm going back now, be careful." After doing all this, Kuzan said to Smoker and the others, and headed back to Marine Headquarters.

The Marine Headquarters still needs his strength; the power of the Chill-Chill Fruit can minimize casualties to the greatest extent possible.

Garp also left with them.

The Marine Headquarters also needs his combat power. Currently, the only two in the Headquarters who can go toe-to-toe with Bondy a are Sengoku Garp.

This is the complete outburst of Bondy a.

As contemporary naval personnel, they were even more aware a Bondy a's terrifying nature; Bondy had personally destroyed nearly a hundred naval warships.

There are also many towns and kingdoms.

In his youth, Bondy a was a monster who went toe-to-toe with Roger Shiki.

To protect the naval soldiers, Sengoku sent Kuzan over, making it difficult for headquarters to deal with these Plague Bomb.

Three Plague Bomb exploded simultaneously, and green gas spread rapidly in all directions. Only Sakazuki engulfed the Plague Bomb with scorching lava, directly killing the Plague Bomb inside with the high temperature.

"Damn it, it's Plague Bomb." Except for a few people like Sakazuki, Sengoku, Borsalino who were unaffected, all the other marines were hit.

Viruses are terrifying things; even Haki is difficult to defend against them unless one reaches a level where their Haki is projected outwards to repel the virus.

"Retreat quickly! Vice Admiral, get out of here too!" Sengoku shouted, his body glowing with golden light, the force of his impact repelling the surrounding poisonous gas.

Unexpectedly, Bondy a also possessed Plague Bomb from the Beasts Pirates.

This stuff must be purified by Vice Admiral Tsuru, otherwise even Marine Vice Admiral would die from the plague, since this is Plague Bomb from the Beasts Pirates.

After saying that, Sengoku stared intently at the sky. He sensed a powerful aura approaching, an aura he recognized—it was Bondy a.

As if he had seen something, Tong Kong from the Sengoku shrank back, a hint of fear flashing across his face.

The sheer scale of the naval operation was impossible to conceal from the World Economic News, which was closely monitoring the situation. From a distance, several Reporter Bird were secretly broadcasting live using Transponder Snail), not daring to get too close.

After all, the World Economic News knew the terrifying power of the Dyna Stone, and in their eyes, sacrificing the lives of a few elite Reporter Bird just for some footage was not worth it at all.

Moreover, the images can be located and retrieved through post-processing and magnification.

The footage of the Navy evacuating headquarters and the outbreak of Plague Bomb is still clearly visible.

The message has spread rapidly around the world via Transponder Snail, and the number of people watching the live stream is increasing.

Although they couldn't see the specific situation on the battlefield, it was enough to satisfy their curiosity.

Bondy a descended from the sky, his body wrapped in Dyna Stone containers, with Destruction Bomb on his back.

A glint of madness flashed in Bondy a's eyes as he removed the containers strapped to his body and reached out to kill one of them.

The next moment, Bondy a, along with eight Dyna Stones, was thrown downwards.

With all his might, Bondy a hurled the Destruction Bomb from his back at the Glacier, which had a large navy.

High in the air, Bondy a had a much better view.

And his own figure, too, continued to descend.

He had to prevent the navy from stopping the eruption of the Dyna Stone.

Unexpectedly, Bondy a made such a terrifying decision, directly detonating the Dyna Stone. Was he trying to take the Navy down with him?

This was actually a calculated move; he wanted to make the navy pay a heavy price, and he had already witnessed the power of the Dyna Stone, which couldn't kill him.

This was also an extremely reckless act, as Bondy a himself would be injured by the explosion of the Dyna Stone.

This was the explosion of eight Dyna Stones, and Bondy a was closer to the epicenter of the Dyna Stone, but he didn't care.

"Get out of the way!" Upon seeing this, Sengoku's expression changed drastically, and his entire body radiated dazzling golden light, transforming into a Golden Great Buddha.

He raised both palms high, and terrifying power gathered within them.

"The Great Buddha Impact!"

Bondy a's actions were utterly unstoppable; he descended with a sinister smile, as if heading to hell, bringing immense terror.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion occurred before the eyes of countless people, like a giant, semi-circular fireball, engulfing half of Marineford in seconds.

The Marine Headquarters is not small, and Marineford is a large island, so you can imagine how large the area affected by the explosion was.

The simultaneous explosion of eight Dyna Stones would only create a more terrifying effect in terms of power and range.

Also caught in the blast were numerous high-ranking naval personnel. Many of them desperately resisted the power of the explosion, but only a few managed to stand firm, while most were thrown back by the terrifying shockwave.

The impact of Sengoku bought them a few moments to react, and those who reacted quickly moved close to top-tier powerhouses like Sengoku Sakazuki to seek protection.

The weaker ones were completely swallowed up, unable to resist at all.

The power of the explosion exceeded that of the Dyna Stone itself; even Marine Vice Admiral would have a considerable chance of dying in such an explosion.
