"No! Vice Admiral Garp! Please calm down!!" Several Marines clung to Garp for dear life, trying to stop his disrespectful behavior.
"That is... the 'highest authority' of the government! Attacking Him is equivalent to declaring war on the entire World Government!!" a Rear Admiral pleaded.
Garp's steps were stalled by these loyal subordinates. He lowered his head, looking at these young or no-longer-young faces. In their eyes was fear of the unknown, and a deep-rooted reverence for "Order."
However, Garp's gaze swept past them, casting towards the twisted giant shadow in the distance that was wantonly slaughtering, treating soldiers and civilians like prey... casting towards this land soaked in blood and flames.
His chest heaved violently as he exerted sudden force, like a wild lion breaking free from its chains, shaking the Marines hanging onto him until they stumbled back!
"Highest authority?! More like the King of Pests!!" Garp's hair and beard bristled, and there was no longer any hesitation in his eyes, only pure rage!
"Look at this island! Look at these dead people! Look at the children being hunted down like prey!! Isn't the root of all this just these scumbags hiding behind the name of 'God,' wantonly toying with life?!"
"Such a 'God,' such an 'authority'—" He turned abruptly, taking large strides toward Imu once again. Every step cracked the ground, dragging a long dragon of dust behind him raised by his violent aura, his voice like the war drums of a declaration of war:
"Then they deserve to die even more—!!!"
His black iron fist was wrapped in Armament Haki concentrated to the extreme as Garp leaped high into the air.
"Hey! Rocks! How could I miss a scene like this!!" Kaido, transformed into a cyan giant dragon, circled and descended. His dragon jaws opened and closed, letting out a deafening roar, his dark red slit pupils filled with destruction and the excitement of joining the battle.
Hearing Garp's unmasked battle cry, a strange look flashed in Charlotte Linlin's eyes. She looked at the Marine who had just been heavily wounded by her, yet was now rushing toward her "God" with surging momentum, and grinned:
"Ma~! Garp, you guy, you're quite good at 'doing sit-ups'!"
Garp, leaping toward the top of the monster's head, replied with a resolute voice:
"Ah—! Linlin! This time, my fists won't have any more hesitation! I know exactly what needs to be punched away!"
"Wuahahahaha!!!" Rocks, who was fiercely attacking Imu, burst into hearty, wild laughter. He held his long sword, which was coiled with Haoshoku and Armament Haki, high above his head,
"Now that's more like it! Come on! Let this bunch of vermin hiding in the shadows see what true power is!!"
"Garp! That prey—is one I set my sights on first!!" On the other side, Roger had arrived nearby before anyone knew it. The famous blade "Ace" in his hand was completely covered by top-tier Haki, the blade's edge shimmering with a sharp golden light that could sever anything.
"Gurararara! Then let's have a contest to see whose 'greeting' is more powerful!" Newgate laughed heroically, his left fist clenched tight, a white halo gathering upon it, causing the surrounding space to emit an unbearable humming sound.
No more words were needed. The moment Garp broke free from his inner shackles and resolved to swing his fist at "God," the six top powerhouses on the battlefield—despite their different stances and varying goals—in this instant—
Based on their disgust for that "evil" which wantonly trampled on life, based on the dignity of the strong that cannot be desecrated, and even more based on a monstrous rage that "mortals shall not be wantonly slaughtered by Gods," they reached a fleeting tacit understanding!
Target—Imu (Saturn giant shadow)!
Attack—All at once!
"Fist Bone Conflict · Meteor—!!" Garp, who leaped first, had his figure seemingly transform into a pitch-black meteor, dragging a tail flame of destruction as he crashed toward the monster's head!
"Kamisari—!!" Roger's figure was like lightning, arriving after the others but striking first! Ace slashed out a black light! Wherever it passed, even several of Imu's tentacles were silently severed!
"Abyss Curse—!!" The grinning Rocks, gripping his blade with both hands, slashed toward the giant shadow in front of him, unleashing a pitch-black slash that condensed the eight hundred years of blood and tears of the davy clan!
"Space Break · Ah—!!" Newgate lowered his waist and planted his feet, his left fist, gathering the ultimate power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, smashed down fiercely toward the giant shadow!
"Amaterasu God—!!" Charlotte Linlin combined her three blades into one, forcibly blending the powers of [Nothingness], [musou isshin], and [Seven Thunders of Purification], slashing out a continuously expanding, jagged-edged beam of light that tore through space, a mixture of pink, purple, black, and red!
"Dragon—!!!" The azure dragon Kaido opened his giant maw, spewing a blast of flame over ten meters in diameter!
Six powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the sea, six completely different yet equally peak-level ultimate strikes!
At this moment, the ambition of pirates, the anger of Marines, the fate of D, the defiance of a transmigrator, the ferocity of a mythical beast, the majesty of tremors... all these unruly, powerful wills and forces capable of overturning the world were temporarily unified in one place, collectively issuing the toughest challenge and declaration of war against the shadow that had been riding above the world for eight hundred years, self-proclaimed as "God"!
This is the rebellion of mortals against Gods! It is the roar of living beings against their manipulators! It is the brilliant radiance burst forth by remnants of the old era and heroes of the new era when facing a common threat that transcends understanding!
Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble—!!!!!!!!
No language can accurately describe the sound and scene of that final collision.
Six world-destroying attacks, almost simultaneously, hit Imu's massive body!
Garp's "Meteor" was like the heaviest iron hammer, smashing the monster's head to pieces.
Roger's "Kamisari" black light swept past, and at the connection point between Imu and the monster, a smooth, mirror-like wound appeared. The black energy roiled violently but could not regenerate immediately!
Rocks' "Abyss Curse" slash split the giant shadow's waist and abdomen, leaving a sizzling black crack!
Newgate's "Space Shatter" successfully pulverized nearly one-third of the giant shadow's lower body, causing its movements to instantly lag!
Charlotte Linlin's "Amaterasu God" beam hit the giant shadow's massive body head-on, the four-colored energy crazily ravaging, decomposing, and annihilating the shadow matter that composed the giant shadow!
Kaido's "Dragon"... was very hot!
Under the combined strike of these six people, Imu's giant shadow body developed several terrifying holes and cracks, the black mist roiling violently and dissipating!
Marines, pirates, everyone who could still maintain consciousness to watch the battle, held their breath, with unbelievable hope surging in their eyes—could it be that God... can also be hurt? Can also be shaken by the power of mortals?!
However—
That "dangerous aura" that had shrouded the entire island since the giant shadow appeared, not only did not weaken as the giant shadow was wounded...
"Hum————"
A supreme Conqueror's Haki erupted from the center of the broken giant shadow, suddenly spreading outward!
Black frantic lightning surged!
Divine might like a prison, cleansing the mortal world!
The divine pressure, stronger than the Conqueror's Haki of Rocks and the others before, was like a tangible tsunami, instantly covering the entire God Valley!
