Floating above the Blood Pool, Jiraiya hovered in the air, his expression grim as he watched the endless tide of monsters surging from below.
"Damn it... these damned beasts," he growled, his fury surging.
On his way here, Jiraiya had seen countless villages and towns reduced to rubble by these monsters.
Those poor people... living difficult lives even in peace, only to be wiped out by this senseless disaster, leaving not even bones behind.
The sight ignited a raging fire in Jiraiya's heart.
"This is our world — not a place for you to rampage!" Jiraiya roared.
He then looked up at the sky.
Strangely, dozens of vortexes had formed among the clouds, as if something monumental was about to descend.
"Whooooosh!"
A deafening, heavy roar filled the air.
From above, dozens of meteors, each about thirty meters in diameter, plummeted toward the ground.
Due to friction with the atmosphere, their surfaces burned with flames, and with each meteor's appearance, the surrounding air temperature skyrocketed!
"BOOOOOOM!!"
The meteors smashed into the monstrous tide, unleashing a devastating shockwave.
The ground tore apart, quaking violently, collapsing into massive sinkholes, while dust and debris were hurled into the sky, forming towering sandstorms.
The force of the impact spread like a tsunami, annihilating everything it touched.
The endless sea of monsters was obliterated. Even those hundreds of meters tall were shredded apart, sometimes lucky enough to leave behind a relatively intact corpse.
In mere moments, the surrounding area within a thousand kilometers was reduced to an enormous crater.
The ground was littered with shattered debris and twisted metal fragments — not a single complete body remained.
"Incredible... so this is Chibaku Tensei... what terrifying power. The Sage of Six Paths' abilities are truly beyond imagination," Jiraiya whispered in awe as he surveyed the destruction.
He could hardly believe the devastation he had caused. In the past, he would never have dared even to dream of wielding such might!
"Huff... huff... Good. Since it's come to this, I'll drive the attack straight into the Blood Pool!" Jiraiya declared, firming his resolve.
He raised his hand high and then swung it down forcefully!
In the heavens, a massive meteor appeared — far larger than the previous ones, with a diameter of over a hundred meters.
The colossal meteor, engulfed in flames, slowly descended toward the Blood Pool.
However, just as it was about to strike, six enormous hands shot up from the Blood Pool. Each hand alone was over a hundred meters wide.
They seized the meteor.
Normally, a meteor falling from the sky would possess unimaginable kinetic energy, pulverizing anything it touched.
Yet these massive hands, upon catching the meteor, merely smoked from the intense heat — not shattered or destroyed.
"What?!" Jiraiya gasped, stunned.
Following the hands, a figure slowly rose from the pool.
It was a monster shaped like a hunchbacked old man — skeletal and thin, with six arms and flowing white hair — standing a full kilometer tall.
Like a weightlifter, it hoisted the meteor above its head.
"Hmph! So what if you caught the first one? How about the second!" Jiraiya sneered, unfazed.
He knew things wouldn't be that easy.
"Whooooosh!!"
Another massive meteor — just as large as the first — plummeted from the sky.
It crashed into the first meteor, and both shattered simultaneously, unleashing an apocalyptic shockwave!
Massive shards and destructive force battered the giant monster relentlessly.
"OHHHHHH!!!"
The monster howled in unbearable pain.
Unable to withstand the force, it collapsed backward into the Blood Pool.
"But it's not over yet! Third one!"
Without hesitation, Jiraiya summoned another meteor.
The third meteor fell mercilessly toward the monster, slamming it down into the Blood Pool.
"I won't stop! I know how resilient you creatures are! Until you lose the will to fight, I won't stop!" Jiraiya roared, swinging his arm again.
Immediately, a fourth meteor descended!
After the fourth meteor struck, Jiraiya didn't stop — he continued summoning the fifth meteor into the Blood Pool.
He had made up his mind: unless he exhausted his chakra, he would not stop calling down these cataclysmic meteors — forcing the Blood Pool monsters to stay back!
The terrifying sight of Jiraiya's meteors was visible to everyone — even from miles away.
"This... this is Jiraiya's true power? It's terrifying," Tsunade murmured in awe, watching from Konoha.
"My God... even Rayquaza probably couldn't break apart such a massive meteor," Ai exclaimed in disbelief.
Atop him, Rayquaza stared warily at the distant falling meteors, its body tense.
"Perverted Sage... please, don't get yourself killed," Naruto said softly, worry clouding his face.
Meanwhile, in the Pirate Universe—
On Whole Cake Island, the monster outbreak continued.
Even though Whitebeard had flipped an entire island over as a weapon to cover half of Whole Cake Island, it still wasn't enough to halt the monsters' relentless advance.
"Ice Age!"
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
"Meteor Volcano!"
The three Admirals unleashed their ultimate techniques.
Countless monsters were obliterated under their onslaught.
And thanks to their Logia bodies, the monsters' attacks couldn't harm them.
Yet despite their overwhelming strength, the sheer number of monsters, and the fact that they kept spawning endlessly, left the Admirals struggling to keep up.
"RAAAAAAAH!"
Garp bellowed in fury, smashing the head of a newly emerged giant monster.
He didn't even bother gauging how tall it was — whether it was hundreds or thousands of meters tall — he simply struck first!
"Hahahaha! This is exhausting! Even if my strength's multiplied hundreds of times, I still get tired!" Garp panted, yet the smile on his face never faded.
"Using planet-destroying power to scare these things off... hahaha, I don't have that kind of strength!"
Laughing self-deprecatingly, Garp shook his head.
"I'm not like those other guys from different worlds. I don't have fancy abilities. I can only keep throwing punches!"
As soon as he spoke, another giant monster, accompanied by a swarm of smaller ones, burst from the Blood Pool.
"But!" Garp roared. "I can keep punching forever! No matter how many come, I'll kill them all!"
With that, his fists blurred into afterimages, unleashing a barrage of terrifying shockwaves that blew the incoming monsters to pieces!
