Chapter 399: Chop-Chop, World!
Marineford · Execution Plaza
"BOOM—!!!"
Sengoku's Golden Buddha palm and Saint Saturn's Gyuki giant claw clashed head-on. The Buddha's light and the black lightning intertwined, shaking heaven and earth!
The air seemed to be torn to shreds. Wherever the shockwave passed, the ruins were instantly reduced to powder, and the battlefield trembled as if it would split apart!
Saint Saturn roared. His bull head opened wide to spew blistering hellfire, and his giant spider legs crushed the ground, looking as if he wanted to pulverize Sengoku and the entire earth together:
"SENGOKU!!! You dare to raise your hand against me?!!"
Sengoku's Golden Buddha unleashed a continuous barrage of palm strikes. His voice rang out like a booming bell, and the Buddha's light illuminated the world:
"Justice only punishes evil—it does not bow to gods!!!"
"RUMBLE—!!!"
The shockwaves of the Buddha's light and the black-purple thunderstorms viciously tore at each other. The impact swept in all directions like a tsunami, causing even space itself to continuously warp!
The surviving pirate prisoners completely broke down, wailing as they scattered:
"It's over!!!"
"They're even fighting the Five Elders!!!"
"Run! Impel Down is the safest place to be!!!"
However, before they could even run ten meters, the entire plaza suddenly roared!
"VROOM—!!!"
A kilometer-high glacier erupted from the ground, surrounding them like a giant wall and completely sealing off any route of escape!
Staff Officer Tsuru's chilling voice echoed across the battlefield through an amplification Den Den Mushi: "Marine Elites—all forces, fall back and regroup!"
"The battlefield will be taken over by the Fleet Admiral and the Admirals!!"
"Believe in your Fleet Admiral!!!"
"YES, MA'AM!!!"
Under the leadership of Nami and Sanji, the well-trained Marines quickly reassembled their formations, while the medical team worked at full speed to treat the wounded.
Behind the glaciers, the neat rows of Marine flags snapped fiercely in the gale!
—Justice had never been so clear!
On another side of the battlefield, Kizaru's silhouette flickered, abruptly landing in front of Gion and Tokikake.
Both were bathed in blood. Gion's ice-and-snow armor was shattered into pieces, and Tokikake's diamond body was covered in cracks.
Kizaru slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing a rare look of solemnity. "Leave this place to me... You two take the others and fall back to heal."
Gion and Tokikake exchanged a glance. Nodding, they quickly retreated toward the medical lines.
Bullet knelt on one knee, his demonic armor riddled with fissures and his chest stained red with blood. Yet, he continued to laugh maniacally:
"Heh... Kizaru! I've only been locked up for twenty years, but the world outside has gone completely insane!"
"Two Admiral Candidates managed to beat me to this state, and you guys actually dare to attack a Celestial Dragon... HAHAHAHA!! The Marines really have gone mad!!"
Kizaru's eyes were sharper than ever before. "Ah~ The world changes too fast... Your timing for a prison break is simply terrible, Bullet."
Seeing this incredibly rare, serious side of Kizaru, Bullet's pupils shrank. Immediately after, he threw his head back and laughed wildly, his demonic Haki surging to the heavens:
"BRING IT ON, KIZARU!!! To die in a clash between the strong... I'LL ACCEPT IT!!!"
"Clank-Clank Fruit Awakening: Hell's Colossus!!!"
Amidst the rumbling, the entire area of ruins and steel was frantically absorbed. Bullet's body transformed into a hundred-meter-tall mechanical colossus. His iron fist struck out with a thousand times the force, carrying the apocalyptic momentum of a collapsing mountain!
Kizaru clapped his hands together, compressing his golden light to the absolute limit. Pulling his hands slowly apart, he formed a gigantic sword of light that spanned heaven and earth!
"Yata no Kagami: Ama no Murakumo (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven)!!!"
The sword of light tore through the sky, its golden brilliance illuminating the battlefield.
Kizaru's gaze was lethal, his voice falling like a final judgment: "With this strike... I will personally send you on your way!!!"
"BOOM—!!!"
The sword of light and the iron fist collided explosively! Dazzling golden light and menacing steel instantly tore heaven and earth apart, the shockwave of the blast sweeping across the entire battlefield!
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—!!!"
Giant magma fists smashed down one after another. Akainu's offensive was as ferocious as an erupting volcano!
Shanks gritted his teeth and blocked head-on. The edge of Gryphon, wrapped in black-red electrical arcs, desperately fended off the attacks!
But even so, the webbing between his right thumb and index finger had already split open. Blood dripped down the hilt of his sword, and his legs sank deep into the ruins.
"RED HAIR!!! YOU'RE DEAD!!!"
Sakazuki's roar was like churning magma, shaking heaven and earth!
Shanks' breathing was ragged, but an unusual red glint suddenly flashed across his eyes!
—His Observation Haki screamed a frantic warning!
In his mind, he clearly saw a glimpse of the future: from the distant horizon, a sniper bullet coated in Armament Haki tore through space, heading straight for the center of his brow!
Shanks' expression changed drastically as he let out a low growl: "Roy—?!!"
Sakazuki paused slightly upon hearing this, but his magma offensive didn't diminish in the slightest; instead, it intensified: "A DYING STRUGGLE!!!"
In the next moment—
The giant magma fist and the lethal bullet closed in almost simultaneously!
At the very last, critical second—
"CHOP-CHOP... WORLD!!!"
A low, rumbling roar erupted from the side!
"CRACK—!!!"
Space suddenly fractured like a shattered mirror!
Buggy, bathed in blood, staggered out of the ruins. His left arm was twisted and deformed—the price of taking Luffy's dragon fist head-on!
But because of that very hit, he had been sent flying right next to Shanks. He violently thrust his right palm toward the dead center of Sakazuki and Shanks' battlefield!
"CRACK—BANG!!!"
The giant magma fist suddenly exploded into pieces right in front of Shanks. Twenty Haki-infused bullets were also sliced into countless fragments the instant they made contact!
The entire area was forcibly carved up into crisscrossing spatial fragments. All attacks were completely reduced to nothingness in that single instant!
Sakazuki's pupils shrank as he roared: "Splitting space?!!"
Shanks stumbled back. Looking at the red nose standing in front of him—his figure swaying yet refusing to fall—shock flashed through his eyes:
"Buggy... you actually..."
Buggy coughed violently, staining his chest with blood. His face was contorted, but he revealed a manic smile: "Heh... Shanks..."
"I am the man... who's going to become the Pirate King!!!"
In that moment, beneath the firmament where the Buddha's light and black lightning intertwined, countless people witnessed the back of that red nose and felt a wave of unspeakable awe!
Meanwhile · World Economy News Paper Headquarters
"SMASH—!!!"
Heavy wings violently smashed the teacup on the desk. Hot tea splashed everywhere, spilling all over the papers!
Morgans was so furious his feathers flew everywhere. His sharp beak almost pierced the projection crystal in front of him: "BASTARDS!!! They actually destroyed all the broadcasting Den Den Mushi?!!"
"This is headline news capable of rewriting world history—and they cut my feed?!!"
He flopped around on the floor in agitation. The obsession and madness of a true journalist made the air in the entire headquarters tremble!
"Unacceptable!! For news this massive, I must witness it with my own eyes!!!"
"BANG BANG BANG—!"
He kicked open the office door, his roar echoing down the corridor:
"IMMEDIATELY!! Divert all broadcasting News Coos to Marineford! Strap three backup Visual Den Den Mushi onto every single one of them!!!"
"Furthermore—"
Morgans violently spread his wings, feathers drifting down as a manic light gleamed in his eyes: "Prepare the hot air balloon!! I'm going to the scene personally!!!"
In a flash, the headquarters was in absolute uproar. Hundreds of News Coos spread their wings and took flight, heading straight for Marineford!
Morgans held his quill high, his gaze burning like wildfire:
"True news—must be written upon the very spine of the world!!!"
Just as he was rushing out, the giant projection crystal on his desk suddenly buzzed with static!
A choppy feed reappeared. Though distorted and blurry, it still managed to transmit an image—
It was the battlefield of Wano Country!
The battlefield had undergone a sudden, drastic change!!!
