that no one can cross."You are too loud."Darren frowned, as if impatiently waving his hand.With that action, two steel bars shot up from the deck of the ship's hull, roaring out like blades, piercing...At the same time.

On the blood-red precipice, towering and soaring as if merging into the crimson expanse of the sky.

Mary Geoise.

White walls topped with blue roofs line the streets, which are impeccably clean.

Surrounded by lush vegetation, artificial hills, fountains, and manicured gardens, grand and ancient buildings stand majestically on a hillside filled with the sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers, resembling a fairyland.

This is the sacred land of Mary Geoise, the abode of the gods, where noble, divine, and great deities reside.

Suddenly, a horrifying scream shattered the peace and tranquility of the realm of the gods.

"This...how is this possible!!"

Inside a glittering edifice in the realm of the gods, an official responsible for managing the daily lives of world nobility turned as pale as death, collapsing onto his backside with a shudder. His whole body trembled uncontrollably.

His voice quickly caught the attention of other officials.

When they burst into the main hall of the building, the moment their ears caught the sound, they saw a life card gradually burning and turning to ash. They almost forgot to breathe, their minds blanking out.

"Sir Deeds..."

"That is Sir Eldred's life card..."

According to the latest intelligence, he is not in the North Sea. He just got on board a returning official ship, didn't he

"This... how is this possible..."

A group of official ships looked at each other nervously, their throats rolling and involuntarily swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Their throats felt as if they were burning.

The Heavenly Dragon, Sir Eldes...

...is dead.

"Hurry!! Report to the Five Elders!!"

The officer, at the head of the line, jolted awake. He strained his weakening body, gritting his teeth as he clambered to his feet and roared in fury.

Thus, the news spread quickly.

At that moment, the city of Mary Geoise was gripped by panic. CP agents in suits moved through the streets like phantoms, while Holy Guards rode their horses down the spotless avenues at a frantic pace, leaving the citizens trembling with fear.

Officials looked fearfully toward the direction of the stairway to heaven, their hearts filled with trepidation.

The Holy, Noble Celestial Dragons are dead.

This is the first time a "god" has fallen from the sky in this sea since the "Valley of the Gods" incident eight years ago.

……

North Sea, a certain sea area.

The sky was overcast, with churning black clouds like a heavy wall about to crumble, rolling incessantly.

Torrential rain enveloped the entire world, and warships tossed and turned in the raging waves like toys being relentlessly thrown about by an invisible giant.

Boom!

Dense cannon fire shot out from the ship's guns, explosions blooming one after another, and the black gun barrels were already glowing red from the intense heat.

The roar of artillery and explosions erupted, setting off fierce fire on the distant sea surface. Towering columns of water shot high into the sky.

"Bonnie Waldo!! You can't escape!!"

On the warship, Sengoku, with his black-rimmed glasses and black beard braided into a queue, stood on the bow of the ship, staring at the pirate ship in the center of the bombardment. He roared loudly.

The torrential rain poured down from the sky, bouncing off the deck and enveloping the warship in a white mist.

On deck, numerous sailors braced against the storm, swiftly loading ammunition into the heavy cannons. Each shot that thundered out shook the warship to its core.

"Kekekekke!!! Sengoku, you want to arrest me You're still far off!!"

On the pirate ship, a burly figure stood at the bow, hands crossed as he grinned wickedly.

He was clad in a scarlet captain's coat, sporting a horned helmet and a grayish-green beard that quivered slightly with his boisterous laughter. He exuded an aura of profound strength and power.

"World Destroyer" Bundy Waldo!!

The captain of the Ward Pirates, with a bounty of 200 million berries!

The legendary pirate, equal to Whitebeard and Roger!

The cannonballs exploded around the pirate ship, sending up a spray of seawater and thick smoke.

But Candide Valdo paid no heed, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared at the warship. A cruel smile suddenly twisted his lips.

When it comes to firepower, I've never lost to anyone.

His figure vanished like a ghost.

A ghostly figure darted through the heavy rain, moving so fast that it even created temporary clear spaces in the curtain of water.

The next second,

Bonnie Waldo was already on the other side of the deck, her hands gripping a cannon.

"Lads, adjust your course! Let those lackeys of the World Government see what the Waford Pirates are really capable of!!"

He shouted loudly.

ROAR!!!

The members of the Ward Pirates' eyes gleamed with fanaticism as they raised their arms and cheered.

In the midst of surging waves, a pirate clung desperately to the helm.

"Attention! Full rudder to starboard!!"

The moment his voice fell silent,

The pirate ship's hull creaked and groaned under the onslaught of wind, rain, and cannon fire, listing dangerously to one side.

The deck suddenly tilted, and the pirates clung tightly to the slippery railings, lest they be thrown into the sea.

The heavy rain lashed against the deck.

Bondi Waldo gripped the cannon with hands like iron, his knuckles white as the ship tilted, the fixed gun barrel slowly aiming at that massive warship.

“Isn’t it just that you sank one of the Celestial Dragon pig’s official ships… As for chasing me for a whole day and night”

He scoffed dismissively, and began to laugh wildly into the raging storm.

"Come on, Sengoku!! Let you witness... the power to destroy the world!!"

He yanked the cannon's fuse violently.

BOOM!!

A jet-black bullet tore from the barrel, cleaving through the torrential rain.

"Momo! Fiftyfold Cannon!!"

With a cold shout from Bundy Waldo, it was as if an invisible force spread outwards.

White plumes of vapor spread from the shells that roared through the air.

Then an incredible scene appeared—

Suddenly, the speeding bullet swelled and multiplied in size. In the blink of an eye, its volume increased dozens of times!

A black shell with a diameter exceeding 20 meters, its ejection speed also surging, crazily plummeted towards the warship where Warring States was located after reaching the apex of its parabolic trajectory!

Its speed was incredible, its descent was fierce, and its size was immense. It even created fiery red air waves from friction with the air. From afar, it looked like a meteorite breaking through the clouds and falling from the sky!

This is... Bondo Valdo's ability!

Momo fruit, able to increase an object's speed and size.

As a result of the exponential increase in speed and volume, the amplified projectiles will also see an exponential increase in their destructive power.

It can be boldly stated that once this shell detonates, its explosive power would be more than enough to easily obliterate a town!

Crimson light expanded above their heads, but a massive shadow suddenly engulfed everyone on the warship.

A gust of wind swept down from the sky, causing the warship to sink. The deck even creaked and splintered.

Damn it!!

During the Warring States period, he roared with eyes blazing red with fury.

If this shell hit the warship, all the sailors on board, including himself, would be wiped out in the fury of the sea.

Boots thundered on the bow, and figures from the Warring States period rose like cannonballs.

Suddenly, a majestic and brilliant golden light shone in the sky.

The sailors were astonished to see their Admiral transform into a colossal golden war Buddha in an instant, striking out with a palm towards the massive shell plummeting from the sky.

"Great Buddha Impact!!"

BOOM!!

The vast golden shockwave slammed into the cannonball.

The world fell silent for a brief moment before an earth-shattering explosion blossomed in the sky.

A fireball over a hundred meters in diameter rose, and countless shrapnel from shells rained down on the warships like a dense hailstorm of fire.

As Zhan Guo's form recovered mid-air, his expression shifted, and he roared angrily:

"Polusalino!!"

"Got it..."

A careless voice echoed in the midst of the downpour, followed by a golden streak that whooshed across the sky.

"The Yata no Kagami."

Thousands of light beams rained down like a storm, constantly washing over the falling fragments of artillery shells. The raging fire illuminated the darkened sky completely.

In the swirling thick smoke, a figure from the Warring States period landed steadily.

The wind swept away the smoke, his eyes fixed on the pirate ship fleeing into the storm in the distance. He gritted his teeth, just about to give the order to pursue.

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Cease the pursuit, something has happened."

Zhan Guo frowned.

Only a CP0 member wearing a strange patterned mask was seen quickly walking out of the hold.

This time, the campaign against Bundy Waldo was a joint operation led by the CP department and the Navy. The intelligence primarily came from the CP department.

"Retreat Bonnie Waldo has been driven to a desperate situation by us, and ahead lies the notorious chaotic sea of North Sea... Under such weather conditions, he cannot escape!" Zhan Guo retorted.

Unexpectedly, the CP-0 agent shook their head.

"Bonnie Ward is no longer important."

He took out a military phone bug and handed it to Wargon.

A creaky, eerie voice slowly emanated from the military telephone bug.

"Warring States, retreat immediately."

Zhan Guo was taken aback and instinctively said:

"Five Elders, the operation is about to be successful. The Pirate King Gol D. Roger has fallen into our trap as planned. All that's left is a little more time..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he was rudely interrupted by the person across from him.

We command you to retreat at once!

During the Warring States period, a fire burned in his heart. He asked, bewildered:

"Excuse me, sir, why is this happening The government and the navy have invested a lot of resources and effort into this operation…"

"Syldus the Holy died at the North Sea."

The sound of the Five Elders on the other end of the Den Den Mushi froze Sakazuki in his tracks.

Celestial Being... dead

This... how is this possible...

"Warring States, as the current only Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, your top priority is to thoroughly investigate the cause of Sir Crocodile's death, understand"

Besides that, all other matters are insignificant.

The voices of the Five Elders were beyond question.

On deck, drenched by the heavy rain, Sengoku, Warring States took a deep breath. The hot blood in his chest seemed to be extinguished by the icy rain.

"I understand."

He gritted his teeth.

Seeing this, cp0 put away the Den Den Mushi and turned to walk into the hold.

At this time, countless golden photons continuously gathered around Sengoku's side, quickly reconstructing a humanoid form.

Tall and imposing, he wore a yellow-and-white striped suit, oversized goggles perched on his nose, and a bushy mustache.

Rear Admiral rank, the Navy's rising generation "monster" ... Polusalino.

"Shall I continue to pursue them, Great General of the Warring States"

Borusalino looked at Sengoku's face, which was ashen, and slowly said.

Zhan Guo glared at the Ward Pirates, who were gradually disappearing into the distant storm, then suddenly punched the railing with all his might, smashing it to pieces.

"No need, let's return home."

He gritted his teeth, forcing the words out through clenched jaws, his face contorted with barely suppressed anger.

Borusalino, as his own officer, was quite capable and far surpassed the level of an ordinary Rear Admiral.

But compared to someone like "Blackbeard," who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Whitebeard and Roger, he still has some ground to cover.

Let him go after it alone. If he fails and falls into Bundy Waldo's hands, it will be a loss the Navy Headquarters cannot afford.

A future Admiral of the Navy, a monster-like prodigy with immense talent. He can't afford to have any accidents.

What Zhan Guo didn't expect was that with so many resources and efforts mobilized, he was just short of capturing Bandy Waldo, only to end up in such a... disgraceful defeat.

He was not reconciled.

But Sengoku also understood that he couldn't refuse the World Government's orders.

A Celestial being died in the same sea.

Now, the Marine Headquarters only has him as a Fleet Admiral. Both emotionally and rationally, he must put down all his current duties and go to investigate this thoroughly.

It's just...

"In the North Sea, who dares to attack the Tianlong people"

Zhan Guo stood in the pouring rain, raindrops beating against his slightly pale face.

His expression was uncertain, lost in thought.
