Like Those Ridiculous Clowns of the Ninja World!
The storm was silent, and the long night was as dark as ink, shrouding the deepest underground chambers of Baltigo.
As a heavy steel gate slowly opened, azure light poured down like a tide—the giant ship that had slumbered for a thousand years finally revealed its outline.
It is like a legendary sleeping dragon, awakening from the ruins and letting out its first low roar in the silence.
"This is... Pluton."
Sabo's eyes widened, his breath almost caught in his throat.
That was no ordinary warship, but the ultimate crystallization of a civilization of war, a fusion of the technology of the Ancient Kingdom and the legacy of a vanished civilization. Every inch of the ship was engraved with languages and energy patterns forgotten by history, as if it itself were some kind of dormant will.
"We... finally found it."
Dragon stepped forward, his voice low but trembling with suppressed power. "There was a time when the World Government, despite its best efforts, could not completely destroy it. And after Uchiha Yoru descended, we lost even the right to contend with it... But now—everything is different."
"We found it after Wano Country was occupied!"
"Those guys definitely don't know that Pluton has been anchored underground in Wano Country along."
"And what's even more interesting is... this warship doesn't seem to need any activation ceremony; it's like—it's been waiting for our return." (Orochimaru reveals a sinister smile. jpg)
The chief of staff's tone was tinged with resentment and a glimmer of hope. "The output energy of the Pluton main cannon is enough to tear apart the entire holy land of Marineford."
Perhaps, even 'that person's' defenses are not unbreakable.
"You mean Uchiha Yoru?" Sabo frowned, his gaze grave. "He could single-handedly wipe out three admirals and shatter the Marineford battlefield... Can a mere warship really shake such an existence?"
"No— Pluton is not just a warship."
The dragon gazed at the core of the bridge, where the Heart of Pluton —an energy crystal burning with azure starlight, a symbol of the Underworld Core of ancient technology, was slowly rotating.
"It is a signal, a flag, a response to our long silence."
Tell the world—even the Celestial Dragons' rule, even that godlike descent... is not unshakeable.
"If he is a calamity from another world—then we will respond with the deepest power of this world."
Sabo remained silent for a moment, then slowly clenched his fist. A small Kakkō ignited in his palm, seemingly foreshadowing a wildfire.
"The awakening of Pluton is not merely a weapon of revenge... it is the prelude to war."
"We are no longer fugitives."
"We are—the world's counterattack."
Before the words had even finished --
Boom boom boom boom!!
A series of thunderous roars echoed from the surface, causing the entire underground facility in Baltigo to tremble violently. Dust fell from the dome, and the protective barrier flickered incessantly.
"What's going on?!" Sabo frowned sharply, and as he staggered, he pulled out the dragon claw iron pipe.
"The upper guard has lost contact!"
A Revolutionary Army soldier stumbled into the command center, his face filled with terror. "It's... it's someone who breached the entire defensive perimeter! It's... it's the Uchiha Yoru New Order—"
Boom!!!
Before I could explain, the entire rock formation above me cracked open with a sound more deafening than thunder!
The steel supports were torn apart like paper, and tens of thousands of tons of mixed rock were forcibly ripped away from the outside, as if some mythical being was looking down on the entire underground from the sky.
Three figures descended from the sky.
--No, to be precise, it was three divine, oppressive forces that suddenly descended upon the earth.
Before the dust settled, the black robes fluttered in the wind as the three of them hung side by side in mid-air.
"Do insects hidden deep underground hate the light?"
The smoke and dust settled slowly, and the world fell silent.
Three Uchiha Madara hovered above the underground dome, their figures obscuring the sky and the moon.
"People of your world..."
Number One spoke, his voice like cold iron piercing the silence.
"... always fantasizing about creating a future from ruins."
"Just like those laughable clowns in the Ninja World!"
"I'm asking you—"
His gaze swept over the members of the Revolutionary Army, and each of them felt the oppressive weight of the Rinne Sharingan in his eyes, as if they were locked onto by fate.
"Is it choosing to submit to 'night' and accept the rule of God--"
He stretched out his hand, gently bringing his five fingers together.
"--Or die now."
The air froze, as if the clock of the world had been paused.
"Surrender..."
Many people, upon seeing the skull of the base being opened, already harbored thoughts of surrender.
One second, two seconds--
The silence finally shattered.
"I... I... I choose to surrender..."
In the crowd, an older officer suddenly knelt down, his face covered in cold sweat, his forehead touching the ground. "It's not that I'm afraid of death... but we killed Sengoku, Akainu, and Luffy at night... We can't win!"
"Shut up!" Sabo roared.
"Shut up!" The man completely broke down, his eyes filled with madness. "You have no idea what 'God' is... It's something humans can't contend with! We're just throwing our lives away!"
"Anyone who submits to this monster is not human!!"
A roar exploded, shattering the silence in everyone's hearts!
A figure draped in a scarlet cloak suddenly leaped out, waving a battle flag that unleashed a fiery, inspiring aura!
--It's the Eastern Army commander, Bello Beatty!
"I don't care if he's 'God' or 'Night,' no matter how twisted this world is, we should never kneel!!"
Her voice was sharp and hoarse, yet resounding, and the inspiring energy emanating from her almost ignited the fighting spirit in every remaining warrior.
"Our ideal, our dream, is to save this world!"
"Whether they are the Celestial Dragons or this group of people of unknown origin, they are all oppressors of the common people!"
She suddenly waved the flag.
"Come on! Behold the foolishness of this 'mortal'!"
But the answer she received was not words, but... death.
Number Two didn't even assume a fighting stance.
But with a slight misstep, an invisible shadow appeared behind Betty.
He finished speaking.
Blood splattered!
Before anyone could even see what was happening, Betty had already been pierced through the abdomen.
"Betty!!" Sabo's eyes widened in fury, and he was about to rush out when the dragon reached out and stopped him again.
"Calm down," Long whispered, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
In the air, Number One stood with his arms crossed, looking down with the cold indifference of a god.
"A woman waving a flag, daring to spout such nonsense, is truly... a laughable microcosm of this world."
Number Three chuckled softly, "So your so-called 'counterattack' relies on this pathetic 'morale'?"
Madara No. 2 looked down slightly, his purple Rinnegan seemingly able to see through everyone's souls:
"I initially thought this warship would pose some threat... but now it seems more like your dying words."
At that moment, the entire Pluton ship was completely silent.
Many soldiers gripped their weapons, but could no longer move.
They weren't cowards, but rather—they were all too aware of what they were facing.
Before them stood not enemies, but three Uchiha Madara who had crushed the rebellious kingdom into ruins.
