The Navy Hero! Monkey D. Garp Descends!
"Retreat! Everyone, full speed ahead, retreat!!!"
Ignoring his severe injuries, Akainu roared in anguish, marking the first time in his ruthless career that he had completely given up the fight, acknowledged his powerlessness, and chosen to retreat.
"Quickly! Everyone evacuate the center of the battlefield! Get away from the clash zone!!"
Kizaru's face was ashen, his speech rapid and panicked, all traces of his usual laziness and playfulness gone, replaced by extreme fear and solemnity.
Without much prompting, tens of thousands of naval remnants, like desperate fugitives breaking free from a dead end, disregarded formation, dignity, and injuries, and frantically fled towards the outer perimeter of the island and the distant city with all their might.
The chaotic sounds of fleeing footsteps, frantic shouts, and rapid breathing mingled together. The once disciplined and elite navy, which guarded the Four Blues, was now nothing more than a desperate and disheveled escape.
The entire Sabaody Archipelago was plunged into apocalyptic chaos and panic.
Ordinary people, bubble craftsmen, merchant ship crew members, and slave traders who were frantically fleeing were all thrown to the ground and cried out in terror under the aftershocks of the two overwhelming pressures. The originally crowded and fleeing streets were completely out of control, with trampling, pushing, crying, and roaring all intertwined, and the prosperous Paradise was completely turned into a living hell.
At this very moment, heaven and earth are completely divided, and the two poles are in opposition!
High above the heavens, Garp swooped down, his endless galaxy of crimson Conqueror's Haki's Haki collapsing and suppressing the eight wastelands with a thunderous roar. It was the ultimate thunderous fury of justice and order in this vast ocean, domineering and unparalleled!
Above the earth, Madara's sky-blue Complete Body Susanoo stands tall in the mortal world. The vast sky of Asura, constructed from boundless Chakra, covers the four directions and seals off the heavens and earth. It is the supreme majesty of the Uchiha Clan, looking down on all ages and arrogance over all living beings, cold and indifferent, crushing all things!
Two ultimate forces, capable of overturning seas, crushing archipelagos, and shaking the entire Grand Line, have yet to collide head-on!
The terrifying aftershocks of the two-way collision, crushing each other, and repelling each other have already torn apart the rules of heaven and earth and subverted the natural order!
Snap! Boom!!
The entire Sabaody Archipelago characterized by extensive crustal fracturing and rock layer collapse, with countless giant ravines stretching for thousands of meters and crisscrossing the island's interior.
Countless buildings along the coast were instantly reduced to dust and vanished by the wind. Giant waves, some a thousand meters high, suddenly surged up from the sea, plunging the sky upwards. Gale-force winds whipped up water mist and smoke, enveloping the entire archipelago.
The world lost its color, the sun and moon lost their light, and all sounds were utterly silent. All living beings bowed their heads and trembled. Even the sounds of the wind, the waves, and human voices were crushed and annihilated by the extreme pressure.
An oppressive, suffocating silence locked the entire world in place. Every inch of air was filled with the smell of destruction. Two opposing forces stood in stark contrast, mutually restraining and antagonizing each other. A fateful showdown destined to shake the entire ocean was taking shape and was poised to erupt!
The air in the entire Sabaody Archipelago seemed to freeze completely at that moment; all things were lifeless and utterly silent.
Whether it was the fleeing naval remnants, the island civilians on the verge of collapse, the forces lurking and watching from afar, or the Uchiha members standing ready in the outer sea, everyone's eyes were fixed on the two terrifying forces that were in extreme opposition at the center of the world.
On one side is Garp, who fell from the heavens, his crimson Conqueror's Haki forming a galaxy that overturns the heavens, domineering and ruthless, suppressing justice Four Blues;
On one side is Madara Uchiha, rooted in the earth, his azure Chakra forging a vast and cold sky, icy and domineering over all living beings throughout the ages.
Without any further probing or verbal exchange, the two ultimate offensives, transcending the dimensions of combat power, collided with a deafening roar under the horrified gazes of countless onlookers!
It wasn't the usual deafening roar of an explosive attack, but rather an ancient, muffled sound as if the very rules of heaven and earth were being forcibly crushed and the barriers between heaven and earth were being brutally shattered.
The voice was deep, resonant, and soul-stirring, spreading far and wide, echoing throughout the first half of the Grand Line, clearly audible across thousands of miles of sea.
With the point of collision as the absolute core, a ring of transparent energy shockwaves, clearly visible to the naked eye, exploded instantly, spreading outwards in layers and with frenzied force.
Space collapsed violently, twisted, and folded up. The once clear sky was instantly filled with chaotic white energy mist, and the light of the sky and the sun and moon lost their luster.
A raging torrent of energy, like a cataclysmic wave, swept across all directions, devouring everything, causing a true cataclysmic upheaval in the world.
The Sabaody Archipelago, which is very close by, will be the first to be affected.
This Paradise archipelago, which has thrived for thousands of years thanks to special resin, is as fragile as a sandcastle built by a child in the face of the terrifying aftershocks of the clash between two supreme forces.
The hard surface rock instantly cracked, rose, and collapsed on a large scale, creating countless giant ravines hundreds of meters deep that stretched across the city, spreading wildly along the island's terrain and penetrating beaches, streets, dense forests, and ports.
The buildings, streets, bubble workshops, and commercial buildings that had survived the war were instantly torn apart and crushed into dust by the violent aftershocks. Fragments of stone, wood chips, resin, and building debris flew through the air before being completely vaporized and annihilated by the energy torrent.
The nearshore waters were even more chaotic, with tens of millions of tons of seawater being forcibly thrown up and overturned into the sky by the extreme impact. Giant tsunami walls hundreds of meters high were piled up and rampaged wildly, completely overturning the originally calm sea surface. Towering waves crashed against the coast, crushing and sweeping away all the remaining warship wreckage and stranded ships.
The sea breeze is long gone, replaced by violent air currents capable of tearing flesh apart, swirling up mist and smoke that shroud the entire archipelago in apocalyptic chaos.
On the open sea, in front of the Uchiha Clan's warship, the Night Owl Guard members, having poured their life's work and expended a massive amount of Chakra to construct a multi-layered Forbidden Technique defensive barrier, became the first line of defense against the aftershocks.
The seemingly indestructible dragon vein of rock trembled violently, and its surface layers instantly cracked and crumbled.
The layers upon layers of mountain walls and ramparts are cracked and on the verge of collapse;
The Water Curtain, powerful enough to withstand the ocean's strongest attacks, violently trembled and rippled wildly under the onslaught of raging energy.
One after another, the high-level Forbidden Technique became unstable, and countless terrifying cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire territory. The originally unbreakable Forbidden Technique barriers began to crumble and disintegrate layer by layer in the face of this world-level aftershock.
"Oh no! The Forbidden Technique defense line can't hold!"
The Night Owl Guard, who was in charge of the defense, had a drastic change in expression. His voice was tense as he gritted his teeth and used his Chakra to desperately maintain the barrier. However, the visible energy erosion was still destroying the foundation of the defense.
He knew perfectly well that this was a shockwave that no human could withstand; it was the devastating aftershock of two world-class powerhouses clashing.
