Too Many Red Beans?
In the ruins of the Marine Headquarters, all eyes were focused on the man standing alone beneath the enormous palm shadow—Donquixote Doflamingo.
His lips curled up in a smile, his face showing no fear, as if he had anticipated this scene from the very beginning.
Boa Hancock gasped, "He... surrendered?"
Mihawk's gaze sharpened. "That man who controls everything actually accepts someone else as his master?"
Garp gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "This isn't surrender. He's just seen reality clearly and is clinging to 'God's' coattails."
Kizaru narrowed his eyes, his tone turning colder. "Those who live off others will be crushed sooner or later."
Donquixote Doflamingo, however, seemed not to hear, still sporting his signature maniacal smile:
"Fufufufu... This isn't surrendering, it's placing a bet."
"The enemy has been wiped out. You few who are barely clinging to life are no longer even of any use."
"But at least I can stay on the chessboard."
"Following 'God' is better than being dragged down by you bunch of dying people."
Uchiha Yoru glanced at him, his fingers lightly tracing the side of his body.
In an instant, a clear, glass-like shield appeared, protecting Donquixote Doflamingo from destruction.
Night's tone was as indifferent as if he were talking about the weather, yet it sent a chill down everyone's spine:
"Those who understand the times are the wise ones."
"This is divine protection."
His gaze swept over the remaining naval soldiers and Seven Warlords of the Sea who were still holding on, his eyes as cold as still water.
"The rest of the people... ate too many Anko?"
Looking at the stunned people below, Ye's gaze grew even colder.
"In that case, let's disappear along with this wretched place."
The giant water Buddha only moved slightly.
"Boom--"
The earth shook violently, the sky and earth seemed to be bent under the weight, and the seawater overflowed.
In an instant, the entire sea was plunged into suffocating darkness.
At this moment, in the ruined square of Marineford,
Several towering waves crashed towards this place!
Everyone is struggling.
Marco used the last of his Phoenix Flame to try to fly out of the Heart of the Wave with several heavily wounded pirates, but he was instantly overtaken by the waves in mid-air and slammed into the water curtain, his struggle not even fully visible.
Jinbe body resembled a living wall, standing between several marines and pirates. He spread his arms out to try and stabilize the tide, but the floodwaters tore through his arms like paper, pulling him and everyone else into the sinking whirlpool.
"Hey—kids! Stick close to me!!"
Shanks roared as he charged forward, unleashing his overwhelming power, and his broken sword cleaved a gash in the ocean tide.
But the crack only existed for a moment, like a phantom on the water's surface, before being swept away and submerged by a second, even more terrifying wave.
Whether they are pirates, Seven Warlords of the Sea, admirals, or commoners—none are exempt from the calamities brought about by the divine will.
Struggling is pointless. All that remains is to sink into despair.
Even Whitebeard--
Even Whitebeard could not stop this catastrophe.
He stood at the end of the shattered dock, his body covered in a mixture of blood and water, his face unrecognizable.
The power of the tremor in his hands gathered again, becoming so violent that it almost tore his own bones apart.
But in that instant of clapping, he understood.
This is not a force that can be "shattered".
This is the denial of the gods.
Uchiha Yoru, perched atop the tower, stood with his hands behind his back, his figure as straight as a sharp sword, his expression cold and calm.
Beneath my feet, a sea of death surges ceaselessly.
His gaze was lowered, catching sight of the still-sinking Whitebeard—
Whitebeard looked up and saw Uchiha Yoru's gaze. His body was hunched and heavy, yet as resilient as a rock.
In an instant, he smiled, a smile tinged with blood, with the pain of cracked bones, and also with... relief.
"Gurara... The old days... have come to an end..."
Garp stood on the broken stone pillar in the main square, his gaze fixed on the tall, immovable deity in the distance.
He was covered in blood, his left arm was dislocated, and he was breathing heavily, yet even moving a little was extremely difficult for him.
He muttered to himself:
"... My punch... it's just that I'm getting old."
He murmured softly, slowly raising his fist and gathering the strongest Armament Haki he had ever possessed.
--But that's all.
The surging tide swept in, engulfing his entire body in an instant. That iron fist, which had once been fearless even when facing the Pirate King, was ultimately annihilated by the flood of the gods, leaving not even a sound.
Kizaru and Aokiji had already taken to the air.
"... This is way too exaggerated... Eek... Eek..."
Kizaru's lazy tone was now trembling noticeably. He moved at the speed of light, trying to pull out the wounded from the battlefield, covering dozens of meters almost every second.
The figure moved at the speed of light, instantly covering tens of meters.
Aokiji, on the other hand, released a massive iceberg barrier in an attempt to block the path of the invading ocean tide.
Ice Age.
The power of ice spread wildly, freezing hundreds of meters of the sea surface, but the next moment—
"Boom!"
The Water Buddha slowly pressed down with his palm, the barrier became as thin as paper, the ice field collapsed, and the trajectory of light was broken.
"Cough, ugh--!"
Kizaru cried out in pain as his body was slammed off by the high-pressure water curtain, half of his body being directly crushed by the immense water pressure.
Aokiji was swept into the center of the rapids, his consciousness sinking into the cold seabed and never resurfacing.
Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea were not spared.
Mihawk stood on the broken platform, his broken sword Night gripped tightly in his hand, the blade trembling in response to the sky.
He remained silent, his expression as cold and stern as ever.
Faced with that colossal divine hand capable of crushing the earth, he simply raised his sword slowly and unleashed a swift strike!
--A sword aura, like a falling star, ripped through the sky, bursting into blazing Kakkō and tearing apart everything visible in front of it.
"Boom!!!"
However, faced with the endless curtain of water and the overwhelming pressure of the heavenly palm, even the remaining fragments of the "strongest black blade" were nothing more than a faint light, instantly swallowed up.
Mihawk's figure was submerged by the waves a second before he lowered his knife, only whispering to himself:
"So this is absolute power..."
"Shanks... it seems there's no chance for another match."
Boa Hancock's gaze was cold as she struggled to leave the tsunami zone, but to no avail!
"This man's power... is even far superior to that of the Celestial Dragons..."
She looked at the figure in the night one last time, her expression cold and unwilling, before being swept away and buried by the water curtain.
Crocodile hastily unleashed a dust storm, hoping to evaporate the tides in front of it, only to see the entire sand turn into silt before the giant waves.
Boom!
He sank to the bottom of the sea along with the sand and dust.
Jinbe stood in front of Luffy with all his might, and even though he knew Luffy was dead, he still used Fishman Karate to create a water shield.
"I owe Ace..."
But the situation cannot be reversed.
The water wall shattered instantly, bones were crushed, and the fishman was crushed by the immense pressure.
Gecko Moria attempted to summon his shadow army to resist, while Kuma raised his hand, trying to teleport others away from the battlefield.
The space has been sealed off.
"... The target... cannot be moved."
The bear's electronic voice abruptly stopped the next moment, and its steel body shattered in the waves, scattering across the seabed.
Unable to struggle in the sea of darkness, the shadow dissipated into black smoke.
--Of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, only Donquixote Doflamingo survived the destruction.
He stood inside the protective shield, his gaze solemn:
"Is this the meaning of 'domination'? Fufufu..."
Marineford vanished completely from this sea!
All life, regardless of good or evil, strength or weakness, was annihilated.
Uchiha Yoru silently atop the colossal Water Buddha statue.
Like the ruler of the heavens, silent and still.
The sea breeze was still.
This is--
The deathly silence that followed God's judgment.
In the silence, the world begins to be reshaped.
