Giant Baby

"Enough!!!"

The roar of the Sengoku was like a thunderclap, reverberating throughout the entire Marineford!

Golden light exploded from his body, creating towering waves. A majestic golden Buddha rose from the void, its palms like the sky, its eyes wide open in anger, its Buddha-like power suppressing the sea and changing the color of heaven and earth!

"You dare to covet this world!"

"In the name of 'justice,' I will suppress you, you heretic who desecrates order!!!"

The golden Buddha swung his palm down, and the entire battlefield was as if it were under the pressure of destruction. Countless rocks shattered in the air, and the air became still, as if the entire sea was trembling with the wrath of the Sengoku!

But Uchiha Yoru merely slowly raised his head.

At that moment, the world fell silent.

His eyes were as deep and unfathomable as an ancient mirror, reflecting the golden Buddha, yet it seemed as if he were looking at a clay idol in a temple—devoid of divinity, reverence, or even hostility.

He chuckled softly.

The voice was extremely soft, yet it struck everyone's heart like a hammer blow:

"'Justice'?"

"You don't even understand the definition of justice..."

Sengoku was stunned for a moment, and the golden Buddha's oppressive aura subtly paused for a moment.

"Maintaining balance in the name of slaughter; concealing the truth with the sin of silence..." Uchiha Yoru's gaze was calm. "You are the most vile enforcer of order in this world, yet you dare to stand up and accuse others while wearing the skin of gods and Buddhas?"

"Sengoku, what you believe in is not 'justice,' but 'control.'"

"Your so-called peace is nothing more than sacrificing the reality of the majority for the illusions woven by a minority."

He lightly traced a line in the air with his finger—space itself was torn apart like paper with a single stroke!

"I've seen far too many 'Buddhas' like this in the Ninja World."

"The ending is always the same: the idols crumble, the believers scatter, and 'justice' becomes a laughable irony."

Boom!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, a jet-black crack appeared on the heart of the golden Buddha from the Sengoku period!

It was as if the heart of a god had been shattered by reality in that instant!

Sengoku's expression changed drastically. He roared and added more power, but the crack spread like a curse, extending along the surface of the golden Buddha.

Do you know what this is?

Uchiha Yoru slowly stepped forward, his gaze seemingly looking down on this farce from a higher dimension.

"That wasn't me attacking you."

"It's your 'faith' that collapsed on its own."

The Sengoku knelt on the ground, his face filled with disbelief, and he spoke in a hoarse voice:

"I... I have never betrayed my sense of justice..."

"I have dedicated my life to peace... to order..."

Uchiha Yoru stared at him, his cold smile carrying the cruelty of a thorough judgment:

"Then take your 'never betrayed' statement and go to hell to defend yourself."

The next moment--

A jet-black lightning bolt burst forth from the golden Buddha's heart, like a punishment of divine retribution, completely engulfing the Sengoku and the golden Buddha!

Boom!!!

The entire Marineford was deathly silent.

Even the sound of the wind seemed to be suppressed; all that could be heard were the sound of heartbeats and trembling breaths.

But the silence did not last long.

"You bastard!!!"

It's a roar!

That was the roar of Monkey D. Luffy, the Luffy Hat!

His face was filled with rage, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his arm was wrapped in immense strength as he leaped into the sky!

"You killed him?! You trampled on everything in this world!! What right do you have to say such things?!"

"I'm going to beat you to a pulp, you bastard!!!"

At that moment, Luffy was consumed by rage, like a roaring beast, channeling the fury of freedom, dreams, and friendship into his fist!

The entire audience was shocked, and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines were all deeply moved!

But Uchiha Yoru only glanced back at him.

That glance held no anger, no defensiveness, only utter disdain.

It was like watching a farcical scene of a toddler throwing a punch.

"What's your name again?"

"... Luffy?"

Uchiha Yoru slowly lowered his head, looking at the figure churning with rage, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"That giant baby who keeps yelling about 'freedom'."

He sighed softly, his voice low, yet it sounded like a god judging.

"Your favorite saying is, 'I'm going to be the Pirate King!'"

"But do you know—you've never truly understood what a 'king' is?"

"You reject orders, hate rules, and break through all constraints, yet you have never established even a shred of order."

"Your so-called 'freedom' has always been nothing more than an excuse to shirk responsibility."

"You're like a beast driven by instinct, struggling to survive between your id and your impulses, yet you romanticize that primal struggle as 'belief'."

"Every cry, every charge, every roar—you said it was for your comrades, for your dreams?"

He chuckled softly, as if reopening a wound.

"No... that's how you can't handle a complex world."

"You're afraid of facing power, that's why you hate the Celestial Dragons."

"You're afraid to face the system, so you resist all government."

"You're afraid to face growing up, so you treat 'dreams' as a sanctuary and 'freedom' as a shield to escape."

"You are not brave."

"You're a giant baby who doesn't want to grow up."

"That's why you respond to the world with your fists in every battle."

"Not to change it—but to prove that 'I still exist'."

He pointed a finger at Luffy's forehead, as if pointing to a phantom that had been exposed:

"You are not a real 'man'."

"You're just a spoiled brat—who happens to possess a tiny, insignificant amount of power."

"And this world no longer has time to indulge your... naive dreams."

Luffy roared and charged forward, his fists like dragons, his Conqueror's Haki stirring the heavens!

"Shut up!!! I don't care what you're saying!! I'll become the Pirate King!! I'm going to beat you to a pulp!!!"

--Smack.

Uchiha Yoru simply snapped his fingers.

There was no explosion, and there was no light.

Luffy's fist stopped less than an inch from his forehead, and he froze in mid-air.

A dark "crack" appeared between his eyebrows.

That wasn't a physical tear.

That is—the definition of "existence" has been deleted.

His life trajectory was quietly erased from this world.

Night whispered:

You say you are a free person.

"But you can't even say 'who you are'."

"You are not the Pirate King."

"You are an expired dream."

--Bang!!!

Luffy breaks down!

They turned into silent, fragmented pages, like shattered scripts, vanishing into the void with the wind.

The entire room fell into a silence more terrifying than death itself.

"No... impossible..."

Garp stood at a distance, his face filled with shock and grief, his hands clenched into fists, his teeth clenched.

"That kid... how could he... I, this old man, haven't even given him a good beating yet..."

He took a deep breath, fighting back tears, his heart filled with unspeakable pain and anger.

The remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates all bowed their heads, their eyes filled with despair.

--Just when everyone was on the verge of collapse.

Uchiha Yoru slowly turned around, looking down at the entire Marine Headquarters, the entire sea, and the entire world.

His voice was slow and clear, like the Last Judgment:

"Starting today--"

"Navy or pirates, 'justice' or 'dreams'—"

"Either kneel down."

"Either, be liquidated."

As soon as the words were spoken, the sky seemed to be painted with ink, and the entire Marineford sank into endless night.

--God no longer tells stories.

God will rewrite the world.
