When an Object Falls to the Ground

As the object falls to the ground, the threads extend from a point in mid-air as if they were alive, then precisely connect to the point of impact, as if guided by some mysterious force. These threads continuously emerge, intertwine, and form a huge, arc-shaped Birdcage extending from the air to the ground.

Doflamingo's attack was truly astonishing; the sheer scale of his movements made it seem as if he were trying to bring the entire world under his control. This attack not only caused the surrounding air to tremble but also alarmed the entire Royal City.

Among the many onlookers, one man was silently watching the Birdcage in the sky— Moke. Moke's gaze was fixed on the enormous Birdcage, and a feeling of awe welled up within him.

He couldn't help but marvel at the power of this Birdcage, for it was undoubtedly a move capable of destroying a city. The Birdcage's range was so vast that it enveloped the entire Royal City without leaving a trace. Moreover, the Birdcage itself possessed extremely sharp cutting abilities, as if it were woven from countless sharp blades. Anyone who even lightly touched this Birdcage would be immediately injured, and might even have their body severed.

Therefore, this Birdcage is like a real prison, tightly trapping the people inside and leaving them with almost no chance of escape. Moreover, if the ability users wish, they can also disperse the threads that make up the "Birdcage," turning them into "Parasite String," and then inserting them into their opponents' bodies like parasites, thereby manipulating their limbs and causing the people inside the Birdcage to kill each other.

Furthermore, these threads also have the ability to shield electromagnetic waves and communication signals, preventing those inside from calling for help via Den Den Mushi or similar means. Even more terrifying, this Birdcage can shrink at will according to the user's wishes; once it shrinks to a certain size, it will kill everyone inside.

However, what's most shocking is that even the powerful Issho from the original story couldn't break the Birdcage with his immense strength. This fully demonstrates the Yamato and difficulty in breaking this technique. The only way to break this technique is to kill Doflamingo directly inside the Birdcage. Otherwise, apart from those small children, it's unlikely that anyone could escape from this terrifying Birdcage.

Moke abruptly turned his head, his gaze landing on Sugar, and said in a serious tone, "Doflamingo and his men will probably be here soon. You need to take Baby-5 and leave this place immediately, find a safe place to hide."

Sugar was slightly taken aback by Moke's words, pondering to herself. She had assumed that Moke would keep her by his side until he eliminated Doflamingo and his Donquixote Family, never letting her leave his side for a moment. However, Moke's sudden decision to let her leave alone was quite unexpected.

Sugar's eyes flickered rapidly; her sharp mind immediately grasped the deeper meaning. This wasn't just Moke opportunity for her to choose, but also a test to see if she could clearly state her position.

Sugar took a deep breath, then nodded solemnly, indicating that she understood Moke's meaning. Without hesitation, she reached out and tightly grasped Baby-5's small hand, as if it were a gesture of firm resolve in making her decision. Then, she pulled Baby-5 along and hurried off in another direction.

The moment Sugar grabbed Baby-5's hand, time seemed to freeze, and everything around them became eerily quiet. However, this tranquility didn't last long, because what happened next was completely unexpected.

As Sugar touched her, Baby-5's body suddenly began to change. Her skin quickly lost its original luster, becoming as smooth as plastic; her eyes also became empty and lifeless, as if devoid of any life force. In the blink of an eye, Baby-5's entire body was enveloped by a strange power, ultimately transforming her into a humanoid doll!

This astonishing scene caused Moke's pupils to contract sharply; he could hardly believe his eyes. Although he had heard of Sugar's abilities before, witnessing it firsthand was still a huge shock. What shocked him even more was that his memories of Baby-5 had not been erased like those of the others.

What did this mean? Various possibilities flashed through Moke's mind. Clearly, Sugar could control her abilities; she could choose to shield certain individuals or groups from her influence, thus preserving their memories. This discovery made Moke's eyes light up instantly, because this ability was simply too powerful and too convenient.

With this ability, things would become much easier for Moke in the future. He could use Sugar's power to make those who might cause him trouble forget certain key information, thereby achieving his goals. Thinking of this, Moke couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

However, just as Moke was immersed in thinking about Sugar's abilities, he suddenly felt the wall beside him tremble slightly. His alertness immediately rose, and he stared intently at the wall.

"Hmm?" Moke murmured, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart. His intuition told him that something unusual was happening. Sure enough, a moment later, the wall shook again, this time with a greater tremor than before.

Moke's eyes narrowed to slits, as if he could see Pica's figure through those slits. His voice was slightly low, with a hint of barely perceptible tension. "Pica? You've come pretty quickly..."

Before he could finish speaking, Moke's brows furrowed involuntarily. For him, the most troublesome member of the entire Donquixote Family was Pica. The reason was simple: Moke had not yet Awakening his Observation Haki.

At this very moment, Pica was hiding among the rocks, appearing and disappearing intermittently. Without Awakening Observation Haki, accurately determining Pica's exact location was undoubtedly an extremely challenging task.

Just as Moke was pondering this, a muffled rumble suddenly rang out. "Boom..." The sound was like a thunderbolt, deafening. Immediately afterward, the rocky ground behind Moke seemed to come alive and began to tremble violently.

In the blink of an eye, the originally hard rock seemed to be under a spell, rapidly deforming and bulging, eventually condensing into an enormous fist, which smashed straight at Moke with overwhelming force!

Faced with such a fierce attack, Moke did not choose to confront it head-on. Instead, he flashed and disappeared from the spot as if he had never been there at all.

Pica's attack, though incredibly powerful, missed its mark due to Moke's skillful evasion, leaving only a deep crater in the ground, with rubble flying everywhere and dust billowing in the air.

Just then, Diamante, Rao G, Jora, Gladius, Señor Pieck, Dellinger, Machvise, and several others emerged from various corners. Some were carrying weapons, while others had menacing expressions; they were clearly all Pica's accomplices.

Jora's face was unusually grim, as if he had been slapped hard. He gritted his teeth and said, "This guy's abilities are a real headache!"

In stark contrast to Jora's anger was Diamante, who glanced expressionlessly to the other side, his longsword flashing out of its sheath like Inazuma.

"Half-Moon Funeral!" With a deep and powerful roar, Diamante, like an enraged lion, suddenly raised the gleaming longsword in his hand. The muscles in his arm were as taut as steel, every muscle fiber accumulating boundless power, as if it would burst open at any moment.

In an instant, with a flick of his wrist, a sword imbued with boundless power shot out like a meteor streaking across the night sky. This sword was as fast as Inazuma and as swift as Gale, carrying unparalleled momentum and power, as if it would tear the entire world apart.

The instant the sword was unleashed, a powerful and suffocating wave of sword energy swept in like a raging torrent. This wave of sword energy was like a surging ocean, majestic and unstoppable. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound, as if it were wailing in pain.

This wave of sword energy swept across the land with overwhelming force, easily cleaving the hard earth in two as if cutting tofu. Under the impact of this powerful force, the earth cracked open a deep ravine, dust flew up, and stones flew everywhere.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Diamante's sword strike not only demonstrated his unparalleled swordsmanship but also revealed his unmatched strength.

More importantly, Diamante had already Awakening Observation Haki. This ability allowed him to instantly perceive everything around him, including the location and movements of enemies. Therefore, in this chaotic scene, only he was able to spot Moke. Moke, who had just regained his human form, recognized Diamante's "Half-Moon Funeral" move at a glance, and his eyes lit up.

This sword strike possessed a majestic momentum like a surging ocean wave and astonishing power like a thunderbolt, making it outstanding among many Swordmaster. However, it is regrettable that in the original work, this was Diamante's only skill that did not rely on Devil Fruit ability.

In Moke's eyes, Diamante's actions were tantamount to putting the cart before the horse and losing more than he gained. The fact that he could unleash such a superb sword strike was enough to prove his extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, making him an absolutely rare sword prodigy.

More importantly, Diamante's Paramecia Fruit, the Flutter- Flag-Flag Fruit, is utterly mediocre, and his development of its potential is quite limited. If he could focus wholeheartedly on swordsmanship, pouring all his talent and energy into it, his strength would undoubtedly far surpass his current abilities.

"Shave..." Faced with these opponents, Moke couldn't even muster the interest to draw his sword. Without hesitation, he used the Six Powers technique, Shave, and instantly entered a state of high-speed movement. His figure disappeared from the spot in Inazuma blink of an eye, as if he had never been there.

When Moke reappeared, he was already standing silently behind Señor Pieck, as if it had all happened in an instant.

"Collapse..."

Suddenly, a Gale howled, and a thunderous punch swept in, carrying unparalleled power, and slammed into Señor Pieck's abdomen.

The punch was as fast as Inazuma and as powerful as a tidal wave, as if it would tear the world apart. Señor Pieck didn't even have time to react before he was violently sent flying by the force.

His body seemed to lose control in mid-air, like a kite with a broken string, thrown far away by this enormous force. In that instant, his body trembled violently as if hit by a cannonball, and then crashed heavily to the ground at an astonishing speed.

With a dull thud, the ground seemed to tremble. A powerful Shockwave rippled outwards, raising a cloud of dust and forming a small sandstorm.

Señor Pieck's body lay there lifelessly, Fudō, like a rag doll. His clothes were torn to shreds, and his body was covered in abrasions and bruises, making him look extremely pitiful.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the scene, hardly believing their eyes. What had just happened was so fast; they hadn't even had time to react before Señor Pieck had been so badly beaten. Señor Pieck was one of them, and his strength was not to be underestimated, yet he was so utterly helpless against Moke's terrifying punch.

Even more terrifying, Moke's punch not only sent Señor Pieck flying, but also shattered his internal organs. Señor Pieck coughed up a mouthful of blood in mid-air, mixed with fragments of his organs—a truly gruesome scene.

Without a doubt, Señor Pieck was dead beyond any doubt. His death was so gruesome that it was unbearable to look at. Everyone present turned ashen-faced, their eyes filled with terror and despair.

Originally, they thought that with their combined strength, even if they couldn't defeat Moke, they could at least hold him off for a while. However, the strength Moke displayed far exceeded their expectations. His methods were so ruthless that they sent chills down their spines...

"The Steel Helmet Explosion..."

Recently, a talented artist on the "One Piece" forum drew a scene of Shiki battling Garp and Sengoku. Let's take a look. Although the artist's skill level is limited, their imaginative concept is still worth seeing. The manga begins with Aokiji praising Garp for his outstanding achievements, which have led to his promotion to Fleet Admiral once again. However, Garp, in pursuit of freedom, once again relinquishes the position. While Aokiji and Garp are happily conversing, Shiki arrives alone at Fleet Admiral Marine Headquarters, intending to rescue Roger.

In Shiki's eyes, Roger was a hero among heroes, one in a million, and shouldn't have died at the hands of the Navy. The Navy, however, believed that killing Roger would curb the growth of pirates. Because of this difference of opinion, Shiki, Garp, and Sengoku couldn't agree and immediately started fighting. Shiki used "Lion's Might: Earth Roll," and two enormous lions suddenly appeared, attacking the Marine Headquarters. Garp countered with a giant iron ball, and Sengoku transformed into his Buddha Form. Garp focused on attacking Shiki himself, while Sengoku destroyed the two lions. Since Garp and Sengoku were no ordinary fighters, Sengoku quickly dealt with the lions, while Garp, after throwing the iron ball, used Geppo to gradually move closer to Shiki, engaging him in Shiki- to-hand combat.

Garp unleashed his "Ryuo Armament Haki" at Shiki, forcing Shiki to retreat step by step and use "Lion's Thousand-Cut Valley" to deflect Garp's relentless attacks. Thus, Shiki and Garp fought fiercely, neither giving an inch. Finally, Shiki, feeling exhausted, used "Viper" to send tens of thousands of floating islands crashing onto Marineford, burying the Marine Headquarters underwater. Garp relentlessly hurled shells, destroying the islands one by one, and the battle between Shiki, Garp, and Sengoku reached its climax.

Why doesn't the Shiki just touch Garp's hammer? If the Buddha statues from the Sengoku were made of gold, they should be able to be floated up by the Shiki too.

When Garp completely destroyed the island, Shiki suddenly Satori that Sengoku was missing. Just as Shiki was wondering what was going on, Sengoku, in order to stop Shiki from doing anything even more outrageous, used the Devil Fruit Awakening, "Heavenly Descent: Divine Venerable," to punish Shiki. In the sky, a giant finger was slowly descending, and Shiki felt inexplicably panicked. Garp, who knew Sengoku well, couldn't help but sigh, "That Sengoku guy, he's gone crazy again."

Even with Sengoku's chaotic actions, Garp had no choice but to cooperate. Seeing Sengoku's powerful attack imminent, Garp increased the pace of the battle, using a barrage of attacks to lock Shiki in mid-air, ensuring Sengoku's attack would hit him Shiki absolute certainty. Due to Garp's intervention, Shiki had no chance to escape and was struck directly by the enormous finger, slamming heavily to the ground. With this single blow, Shiki collapsed, failing not only to fail in rescuing Roger but also landing himself in a Marine prison. Therefore, we must acknowledge that the strength of Marine Admiral clearly surpasses that of Four Emperors.

Just as Gladius launched his counterattack, his helmet began to expand rapidly as if by magic. In the blink of an eye, the helmet had expanded to its limit, as if it would explode at any moment.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening "bang" rang out, and the helmet shattered violently. Accompanied by a deafening roar, the immense shockwave from the explosion raged outwards like a ferocious beast, its claws outstretched. Under the impact of this powerful force, the helmet instantly disintegrated into countless tiny fragments, which, like a dense rain of bullets, shot out in all directions at astonishing speed.

Each fragment seemed to come alive, propelled by the powerful Shockwave, flying like high-speed blades, gleaming with cold light, and carrying unparalleled destructive power, hurtling off in all directions.

Faced with this sudden attack, Moke reacted with Inazuma speed. His body vanished from the spot in an instant, as if merging with the surrounding space.

The next moment, Moke appeared abruptly in front of Dellinger and Machvise like a ghost. His movements were so fast that they were impossible to see.

Before Dellinger and Machvise could recover from their shock, Moke, like a cannonball, launched a lightning-fast kick that struck Dellinger squarely on the head with immense power and killing intent.

A deafening crash resounded, as if the entire world trembled. Dellinger's head slammed into him like a speeding truck, producing a chilling cracking sound. His neck snapped instantly, as if by an invisible giant hand, with a sharp, echoing crack that reverberated through the silent air, sending shivers down one's spine.

Dellinger's body, like a kite with a broken string, completely lost control and flew backward at an astonishing speed. His body traced an arc in the air before slamming heavily into a distant wall with a dull thud. The wall, under the immense impact, even developed a deep crack.

Dellinger's body crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. His body was contorted, as if he had no bones left, and he lay limp and lifeless on the ground.

However, Moke's attack did not stop there. His legs flashed through the air like Inazuma, then struck Machvise in the chest with tremendous force. The power of the kick was as fierce as Gale, leaving everyone speechless.

A dull thud rang out, and Machvise's chest caved in after such a heavy blow. It was easy to imagine that his sternum had been broken and his internal organs had been severely damaged.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of blood gushed from Machvise's mouth like a fountain, splashing onto the ground and forming a shocking pool of blood. His massive body could no longer withstand such a heavy blow, and like a mountain that had been pushed over, he crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Diamante, Rao G, Jora, and Gladius, who witnessed this scene, were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They never expected that Moke's strength was so terrifying, instantly defeating a powerful enemy like Machvise with just one kick.

Terrified, the four of them simultaneously dodged backward without hesitation, instantly creating a distance of seven or eight meters between themselves and Moke. Not only that, they also maintained a certain distance from each other, as if only in this way could they gain a sense of security.
