The Curtain Falls

The Summit War has come to an end.

This day became a watershed moment in history.

As that palm struck, the world fell into dead silence!

The Five Elders were annihilated on the spot!

The Celestial Dragons system, which had existed for eight hundred years, was uprooted and completely destroyed!

Lord of the Celestial Dragons, Imu —Death!

The top ranks of the Navy: Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru...

Not a single one survived!

The entire Marineford, along with an army of 100,000 and hundreds of warships, was shoved into the deep sea by a colossal water Buddha that blotted out the sky!

It wasn't an explosion, it wasn't a flame.

That was divine punishment!

The sea collapsed, the sky tore apart! Billions of tons of seawater exploded and shot into the sky!

Thousands of ships sank, blood staining the seven seas!

Even the seabed was blasted open by a single blow, leaving a deathly crack that has yet to heal!

This is the true power of God!

Navy—annihilated!

World Government - Destroy!

Celestial Dragons —Destroy!

And pirates... were not spared either!

Luffy died on the spot!

Even before its name could spread far and wide, it was completely erased!

Not a single drop of blood was left!

The Whitebeard Pirates, including all sixteen division commanders, was wiped out!

Whitebeard, the "strongest man in the world," unleashed his full power, attempting to withstand that palm strike head-on!

But not even a body was left!

Red-haired Shanks arrives with his crew, his sword energy tearing the sky apart!

As a result, it was crushed into the seabed by a single palm strike, and the entire mass was wiped out!

Before they could even roar, they were crushed into ashes!

The Four Emperors system has collapsed!

Naval justice—shattered!

The Age of Pirates has come to an end!

The only one standing atop the ruins was him.

Uchiha Yoru.

He single-handedly swept away all forces!

Two Emperors perish! The Seven Warlords of the Sea are purged! The Navy is destroyed! The World Government falls!

The entire Grand Line has completely fallen under his control!

After the war, the only survivor was none other than Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

That former Celestial Dragons, a remnant of the Celestial Dragons, knelt in a sea of blood and laughed wildly!

The old era is over!

"A new god has descended!"

"Uchiha Yoru is the true ruler of this world!"

The announcement caused a sensation worldwide!

The three forces collapsed instantly!

The world is no longer balanced!

Upon hearing the news, all the Straw Hat Pirates members scattered around the world fell into a brief silence.

Then came a soul-burning rage!

Zoro paused his training, his left eye slightly open, a chilling killing intent emanating from it. "I must go... even if it means cleaving the world in two."

Nami's weather stick shattered with a bang, tears blurring her vision. "You're kidding... Luffy... How could he...!"

Usopp trembled all over, but his eyes were unusually firm. "We said... we'd be together until the end."

Sanji slammed his cigarette into the ground, and for the first time, there was no smile on his face, "I'm going to settle this score with myself."

They made the same decision at almost the same time:

--Embark on the voyage to the Holy Land. Fight for the captain, fight for your beliefs!

Meanwhile, the major powers in the New World were also gripped by tremors and stagnation.

World of Nations - Totto Land

The magnificent cake castle ceased functioning overnight, and the "anthropomorphic furniture" created from the Soul-Soul Fruit trembled, too afraid to utter a sound.

Big Mom stared at the words on the newspaper in her hand, her face ashen.

"Uchiha Yoru, a lone wolf who slaughtered the Holy Land."

--"Akainu, Sengoku, and Luffy were killed on the spot; none of Whitebeard's remaining crew survived."

She remained silent for a long time, not even touching the layers of desserts beside her.

"..."

"This is so troublesome..."

She murmured softly, her voice trembling slightly; for the first time, she didn't roar, laugh, or go berserk.

"It's not a war between the Four Emperors."

"It is a reckoning brought about by the 'gods'."

Big Mom stood up, looked up at the Totto Land sky, and a sense of unprecedented... apprehension appeared in her deep blue eyes.

"This guy... isn't even part of our 'rules of the game'."

"We're not the 'next' problem, but—"

"The question is how many rounds I have left to survive."

Onigashima, shrouded in a deathly silence.

Kaido sat on his throne, with the skeleton of a giant serpent hanging above his head. A wine jar with dragon patterns rolled to the ground, spilling wine everywhere.

He stared at the news, his brow furrowed.

"Sengoku is dead, Akainu is dead too?"

"Even that brat... couldn't hold on?"

He slowly closed the newspaper, his eyes no longer hazy with intoxication, but with a rare clarity.

A clarity of mind that can only be possessed when facing an absolutely powerful opponent.

That wasn't a 'battle'.

"It was a massacre."

Kaido stood up, and the entire Onigashima Island trembled.

He didn't roar or go mad; instead, he ordered his men:

"Close all intelligence channels to the outside world."

"Expand the arsenal threefold and launch the 'Fire Island' reserve plan."

"Contact the remnants of the CP... I need all his information, including his birth date, what he said, his fighting style... any details."

He said in a deep voice, "This is not a struggle for the New World, this is—"

"A breather before the world is rewritten."

He paused, his gaze more serious than ever before:

"This 'night' does not belong to our time."

The air at the Revolutionary Army headquarters was heavy.

"Uchiha Yoru ..." Sabo murmured the name, his jaw clenched, filled with barely suppressed anger and shock.

Ivankov screamed in terror, "Even the Five Elders and the legendary Imu are dead?! Who was it?!"

All eyes turned to the dragon.

He remained silent for a long time, his eyes sharp as cold blades, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, his nails digging deep into his palms, drawing out tiny traces of blood.

Garp's fall and Luffy's demise were like a hammer blow slamming into his chest.

This usually composed Revolutionary Army leader was now experiencing a tremendous surge of emotions.

He uttered four words in a low, cold, and resolute voice:

"Dimensional reduction attack"

"This is no longer a revolution... this is the end of the world."

"We once thought our enemies were the corrupt system, the arrogance of the Celestial Dragons, and oppression and injustice."

"But now... our opponent is a true—god!"

"One palm strike annihilates the government, one thought suppresses the navy, one man slays all Four Emperors!"

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Long slammed his fist on the table, his anger erupting like a torrent.

"We must not back down!"

Even if we are like ants trying to shake a tree, we will fight with all our might!

"Even when facing God, it is never a reason to abandon one's beliefs!"

"The will of humanity must burn fiercely even in this apocalypse!"

The world is shattered.

Justice has crumbled.

Order has collapsed.

Everyone was trembling as they whispered that name:

Uchiha Yoru!

That man who single-handedly ended the world and changed fate with his palm!

Amidst the shattered ruins of the world, a brand new throne is emerging.

That is--

The Age of Gods Belonging to "Night"!
