Deidara, Your Art Is About to Come in Handy!
Mary Geoise, once the high ground of the gods, a sacred altar symbolizing the supreme authority of the world's nobility, is now shrouded in a deathly gloom.
Even breathing seemed heavy in the air; the wind stagnated in the silent gaps, and the clouds were frozen like a still painting.
Even the world's noble ships hovering high in the sky shook violently, as if sensing some strange presence—an oppression not belonging to this sea area, like a black tide surging from the abyss, silently devouring the brilliance of all life.
Suddenly, seven dark figures descended from the sky.
They were no ordinary beings. Clad in long robes with black backgrounds and red clouds, they descended silently like wanderers from the underworld, their aura swallowing up the surrounding light like the night sky.
Franky's mechanical eye lenses flickered violently, and strange data jumped wildly on the screen. He trembled all over, his voice filled with barely concealed fear:
"This... this energy is beyond human control. Domineering aura? No... it's too cold, too deathly still, like the aura of death itself."
Robin's face was deathly pale, and her voice was low and filled with doubt and fear:
"They... are completely out of step with this world."
Nami gripped the Thundercloud Rod tightly; electric currents surged and roared in the sky, as if the thunder was responding to her tension.
"Are they... enemies?"
Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke, his brow furrowed, and a murderous aura surged forth like a tidal wave.
"Anyone who's showing up here now must be one of Uchiha Yoru's subordinates!"
"The enemy... no, they are more terrifying than the enemy. That kind of confidence... is not something an ordinary human being could possess!"
Zoro slowly drew his three swords, the blades gleaming eerily in the setting sun. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead as he looked at Samehada and whispered:
"That knife... is it a living thing?"
The remnants of the Straw Hat crew exchanged glances, their chests feeling as if struck by a hammer, pain and anger mingling into a raging inferno.
"No matter what"
Chopper whispered, "Luffy has fallen... but we cannot give up. His will remains, and we must fight for him!"
Just then, the first black-robed figure to land slowly raised his head, his features cold and ruthless.
That's Nagato.
He slightly spread his five fingers, and the Chakra of the Five Elements Techniques flowed slowly through his fingertips, cold and profound, like ice from hell:
"There is no place for you in this world."
His voice, though not loud, echoed like a mountain roaring through the ruins:
"The struggle against God is doomed to failure."
"Submission, or... destruction."
The moment the words left his mouth, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly froze, and a cold wind tore through the air like a sharp blade, sweeping across the ruins of Mary Geoise and the afterimages on them.
Nami gripped the Thundercloud Rod tightly, her knuckles white, her voice hoarse but full of determination:
"Luffy... he's gone... but we won't let his death be in vain!"
Franky's mechanical eyes flashed with a cold light as he gritted his teeth, desperately resisting his inner collapse.
"That guy... killed our captain... I will never forgive him!"
Robin was as calm as ice, but a deep sadness lurked in her eyes:
"Luffy's will... must be protected by us. Even if the road ahead is endless, we will fight to the very end."
Zoro drew three swords, their cold gleams flashing, and said in a chilling voice:
"Luffy is dead, but his sword remains in my hand. We will make that power taste the despair of a blade."
Usopp's eyes were firm, and though his voice trembled, his resolve remained unwavering:
"Luffy's smile cannot be swallowed by darkness! I will become stronger and stop running away!"
Chopper's eyes were filled with tears, and his fists were clenched tightly:
"We must avenge Luffy! I will never let his death be the end!"
"A foolish decision."
Before he finished speaking, Nagato, and the Chakra of the five elements gathered in his palm, then roared out.
The world lost its color, as if time had stood still.
Boom!
The square in Mary Geoise crumbled instantly, the palace walls collapsed with a roar, and rubble and dust filled the air.
The remnants of the Straw Hat crew were swept up in a merciless storm of elemental magic, scattering and disintegrating like waves being torn apart.
Sanji rapidly in an attempt to rescue Sanji, but his path was suddenly cut off in mid-air by a streak of bright red light.
Hidan's blood-stained scythe curled into a cold smile.
"Miracles... won't happen here."
Zoro roared as he charged forward, his three swords combined, their domineering aura sweeping across the heavens and earth like a tornado.
However, he was firmly bound and imprisoned by the scorpion's precise iron wire, instantly finding himself in a deadly predicament.
"Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets!"
Dozens of sharp metal puppets surged forward like a tide, their wind blades tearing through the air with unparalleled ferocity.
The scorpion sneered in a low voice:
"You are merely sacrifices, to become my puppet specimens."
Usopp screamed:
Who are you?!
Kisame Samehada transformed into a sharp blade, tearing the earth apart in an instant and sending Usopp and Chopper flying.
He said coldly:
"I am a ninja, I do not belong to this sea, and I am not a fish! You are too inexperienced."
Deidara, riding a giant bird, circled around and shouted with ecstasy:
"This scorched earth is a temple of art!"
He pulled out a giant Clay Bomb, about to detonate it, but was coldly stopped by Konan.
"Don't make too much noise!"
Her paper wings, like blades, covered the sky and instantly surrounded Nami, slicing her into countless pieces!
It all seemed as if fate had already been written.
There was no struggle, no hesitation.
It was a one-sided crushing defeat.
Robin gritted her teeth and stood up, her body covered in wounds, her voice hoarse and low:
"You... Luffy... we haven't... we haven't helped him achieve that yet..."
Nagato stepped forward, the power of the Five Elements dancing in his palm, his tone as cold as a knife:
"We are the apostles of 'Night'."
"The Reshaper of the World"
"The terminator of the old order."
"You have no value!"
Destruction came like a tidal wave.
As the dust settled, the setting sun cast its rays upon the ruins of Mary Geoise.
The throne of God has completely collapsed.
The remaining Straw Hat crew were completely wiped out.
Nagato slowly withdrew his Chakra, his eyes as calm as the deep sea.
"Mission accomplished."
Hidan licked the blood-stained scythe, blood flowing upwards. He frowned, initially displeased, then let out a chilling, wicked laugh that echoed across the land.
"This blood doesn't taste as good as a ninja's!"
"Only offerings that possess the proper form are worthy of the gods' favor..."
Sasori assembled a new puppet in the center of the ruins; the terrifying structure had Zoro's remains at its core and Chopper's fragments as its supporting parts.
He muttered to himself:
Hahahaha
"I need to study the human body from another world carefully!"
Kisame leaned back beside him, Samehada writhing wildly, his gaze fixed on the distance:
"The smell of this sea... is getting stronger and stronger."
Deidara circled in the air, finally releasing a clay bird that exploded into a brief but poignant burst of sparks.
As if celebrating a victory, he complained, "This is meaningless! The true path is to dedicate them all to art!"
Nagato spoke up upon seeing this:
"This world will be reshaped in the flames of war."
"Mary Geoise, the Straw Hat remnants, is but the prologue."
"Next comes conquest."
"Deidara, your art will come in handy!"
