The red sun was rising, and the faint morning light was slowly ascending from the horizon, illuminating the vast sea of the G-1 sea area.
This was originally a brilliant scene of darkness dissipating and dawn arriving.
But at this moment, a giant island with a radius of several dozen kilometers was falling straight down from tens of thousands of meters in the sky.
The island's enormous size blocked out the sun, like a huge dark cloud.
If you zoomed out, you could see the lush primeval forest on the island, as well as the various animals fleeing in panic on the vast grasslands.
This island, which was countless times larger than a typical meteorite, had not even hit the ground yet, but it had already caused the sea surface for hundreds of kilometers to rise and fall due to the pressure of the compressed atmosphere.
The glacier surface, which had been frozen by Aokiji, shattered and cracked in large sections, being pushed up dozens or even hundreds of meters into the sky by the surging, angry waves.
The pirate alliance, which was resting on the ice, let out shocked screams. The sudden change caused them to fall into the sea. The thick moving ice layers crashed into each other, instantly causing a huge number of casualties to the pirate alliance.
The pirates who were caught between the colliding ice layers didn't even have time to scream. Their bodies were like tomatoes being squeezed, turning into flattened, two-dimensional paintings. They were then washed away by the surging seawater, turning into a simple red that spread out in the sea, attracting countless bloodthirsty fish.
The Moby Dick and the Red Force, which were anchored three to four kilometers away, were also inevitably tossed by the rising waves, being pushed further away.
On the deck, Marco and the others ran back and forth, constantly using their body strength to balance the ships under their feet, keeping the pirate ships steady so they wouldn't capsize in this huge turbulence.
Only Whitebeard and Shanks remained like two nails at the bow of the Moby Dick, silently watching the island falling from above G-1.
In the sky not far away, a hot air balloon with a wooden house hanging from it was shaken by the violent air currents, flying backward toward this side. Amidst a flurry of panicked screams, it tilted and fell into the sea.
Shanks glanced at it and shouted loudly toward the direction of his ship, "Gab! Go save President Morgans!"
On the floating Red Force in the distance, a burly fishman heard this and jumped off the deck without a word. He stepped on the floating ice and rushed toward the spot where the hot air balloon had fallen.
It was also at this moment that a series of terrifying aura fluctuations suddenly erupted from the falling island above G-1 in the distance.
A brilliant golden shockwave swelled and burst, devastatingly tearing through the rock layers, flattening and shattering the island's thick mountains.
Air cannons that had been compressed to the extreme were released again, turning into a thousand-meter-wide Ursus Shock that shattered pieces of rock and trees.
Dazzling light bombs rained down, whooshing through the ground for hundreds of meters, making the island full of holes.
In an instant, the enormous island, which had been falling as if the sky was collapsing, was shattered into countless pieces of rock and mud by the combined attacks of the six men who had risen into the air. They sprinkled down toward the ground.
Just then, a roar like thunder echoed throughout G-1.
"Meteor Volcano!!"
The next moment, giant magma fists with long flaming tails shot up from the island, heavily crashing into the countless shattered rocks and boulders that were falling from the sky. They pushed large sections of rocks and boulders, which streaked across the sky of G-1, toward the distant sea.
In an instant, dozens of giant magma fists shot out, flattening and pushing away the countless rocks that were about to fall on top of the fortress. It was as if a huge hole had been torn in the dark sky, revealing the empty, desolate sky above.
On the sea outside the island, the pirate alliance, which was already in a state of panic because of the shattered ice, looked at the giant magma fists, which were streaking across the sky in arcs and emitting a dazzling red light. The fists rumbled and fell toward their heads, and they were all filled with utter horror.
"Volcanic bombs! They're volcanic bombs!"
"Move! Spread out! We're going to get hit!"
"No! Get on the ship quickly! The seawater is going to be boiled by the magma. We'll be cooked alive!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Magma fists the size of houses smashed into the cracked ice. The terrifying high temperature instantly melted large chunks of ice, making the seawater boil and bubble, releasing a large amount of steam.
"Ahhhhh! Help! Help me!"
"It hurts! Pull me up! I don't want to die!"
"Kill me! Kill me! Give me a quick death!"
At this moment, tens of thousands of pirates were literally cooked to death in the boiling seawater.
This was a real hell!
"Rumble, rumble, rumble!"
Although some of the mud and rocks were shattered and pushed away by the flying magma fists, most of them still fell onto the ground of G-1.
Rocks rained down, making the ground full of holes and a complete mess.
The ice field on the right was smashed to pieces by large chunks of rock, and both sides who were fighting suffered heavy casualties.
But the casualties were even higher among the numerous pirates.
In front of Gion, hundreds of pirates were crushed into a pulp by the rocks falling from the sky.
"Buddha's Impact!"
The giant golden Buddha's palm pressed down again. Sengoku fell from the sky, diving toward Charlotte Linlin and Katakuri, who were on the ground, like a golden meteor.
"Haigoku!!"
Charlotte Linlin raised her hand and swung her sword. A majestic slash on her long sword pushed away countless rocks and slashed toward the spherical golden impact that was falling from the sky.
"Buzz! Buzz! Boom!"
The golden light swelled and burst. The ground was like a meteor impact site. The mud rolled and shattered like waves. The mochi barrier in front of Katakuri completely shattered. Strands of blood spurted from between his teeth, and his tall body staggered backward.
The fat on Charlotte Linlin's bloated body shook wildly, and she was pressed into the shattered ground.
Before she could struggle to her feet, a heavy mechanical arm firmly slammed into her chest.
A pile of flesh on her chest collapsed and caved in under the heavy mechanical arm. Charlotte Linlin let out a cry of pain. She swung her hand and sent Zephyr flying.
"Drunken Thunder Bagua! Great God! Thunder Bagua!"
Akainu, who was shooting magma fists, was struck by a spiked club. The sound of bones cracking rang out, and the ground rumbled and shattered. Akainu was sent flying backward, plowing a thousand-meter-long trench on G-1 Island.
Kaido gritted his teeth. His scaly, muscular body swelled again. The blue scales turned purple, and his entire body looked much bigger than his human-dragon state. His eyes were hazy and his face was flushed. His fighting spirit became more and more intense, and his expression became more and more excited.
Two days and three nights of continuous fighting did not seem to have exhausted him.
"Ursus Shock!"
The burly Kuma instantly appeared in front of him. His large, paw-padded hand slammed toward Kaido's face.
"Bartholomew Kuma, wororororo, long time no see. Where's that dead okama, Ivankov? Did he die?" Kaido grinned. He let go of his club and also slammed out a palm, meeting Kuma's palm.
The two palms collided in the air. The air between them was madly compressed. The air cracked, and various energies were continuously compressed and expanded, releasing a dazzling light. Then, with a bang, they exploded!
The two burly bodies were sent flying at the same time.
Kaido retreated a dozen meters, while the clothes on Kuma's arm exploded, revealing his metal-modified shoulder. His burly body was sent flying like a cannonball for a hundred meters, landing at Kuzan's feet.
"ROOM !"
A transparent shield with a diameter of a thousand meters fell out of nowhere, bringing hundreds of figures in justice coats down from the sky.
"Kill!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru took the lead, bringing Hibari, Adira, Smoker, Rakurak, Gumir, and the others, charging toward the battlefield where Gion was.
Hibari, Enel, and Law were all deeply shocked by the tragic scene on G-1 Island as soon as they landed.
In front of the fortress, a large number of Marine soldiers who had lost their arms and legs and whose guts were spilled all over the ground were lying there.
Hibari's eyes instantly turned red, and a deep sadness welled up in her heart.
She looked around, trying to find that familiar figure.
"He's over there," Enel said, pointing in Kuzan's direction.
Hibari quickly turned her head and saw the young man, whose body was soaked in blood, lying motionless at Kuzan's feet.
"Big Brother Rorschach!"
She cried out in surprise and was about to rush over.
But Law's movements were faster.
The transparent shield fell, instantly teleporting the people around him to Kuzan's side.
"Big Brother Rorschach!" As soon as she landed, Hibari threw herself onto Rorschach's bloody body. Tears instantly gushed from her eyes.
"Cough, cough… Don't worry, I'm not dead." Rorschach said weakly.
Law looked down at Rorschach, who was lying face up on the ground, and then looked at Kuzan. He couldn't help but shake his head.
This scene seemed familiar.
The last time, in Alubarna, the capital of Alabasta, Rorschach had been lying at Kizaru's feet like this.
And this time, the person standing beside him was Aokiji.
Wait, no.
The time before that, the situation on Sabaody Archipelago was also similar to this.
And even earlier, in the capital of the Principality of the North Blue.
Looking at the hideous wound on Rorschach's neck, even Law, a surgeon, was shocked.
"How did you even survive until now with half your neck cut open?"
He knelt down, opened his medical bag, signaled Hibari to move aside, and waved his hand, releasing a spherical sterile surgical space that covered Rorschach's body. The sword Kikoku, which was acting as his scalpel, slashed directly at Rorschach's neck.
"Don't waste time, just… do it." Rorschach's body was completely exhausted. Only his eyes and lips could move.
Law shook his head and began to use his Ope Ope no Mi ability to perform emergency surgery on Rorschach's terrible wounds.
"If you keep doing this, you're going to die one of these days."
While treating Rorschach's wounds, Law said in a deep voice.
"G-1 has already lost over thirteen thousand people. Adding one more to the number is no big deal."
Rorschach's voice was flat. He reached out to Hibari, grabbing her hand to help himself sit up from the ground.
Law was startled. His hand movements paused. He looked at Rorschach.
"What are you doing?"
Rorschach touched his throat, took a few deep breaths, and then struggled to hold onto Hibari's shoulder, seemingly wanting to stand up.
But his body staggered, and he couldn't stand straight, falling forward.
Enel, who was nearby, reached out and held him up.
"What are you doing? You don't still want to go back and fight, do you?" Law stared at Rorschach, his voice serious. "Don't be ridiculous! You've lost too much blood, and your body is extremely fatigued. Your mind is also…"
"I'm fine. I'm all better now, aren't I?"
Rorschach looked at his healed palm and coughed. He grabbed Hibari's shoulder, looked at the battlefield where Gion and the others were. "Law, go help those wounded soldiers. In this battle, you're a military doctor."
Law gritted his teeth, wanting to say something more, but he saw that Rorschach had already turned around, holding Hibari and looking at Kuma, who had risen from the shattered crater nearby.
"Kuma, can you help me transfer my injuries out? Please, I really need it."
"Big Brother Rorschach! Listen to Law and rest! The main forces of the headquarters have already arrived. Leave the rest of the battle to us." Hibari gripped Rorschach's hand tightly, looking up and trying to persuade him.
Rorschach reached out and ruffled her hair. "Hibari, in this battle, no one can rest. I can still fight!"
As he spoke, he looked at Kuma again.
Rorschach knew that at this moment, with his body completely exhausted and various injuries all over him, only Bartholomew Kuma's pain removal technique could restore his fighting ability.
Kuma looked at the exposed metal torso under his torn clothes. The flesh and metal were fused together, looking a bit terrifying.
He looked down at Rorschach. His gaze lingered on Rorschach's face for a moment, then he extended his right hand, which had paw pads like a bear's. He grabbed Rorschach's shoulder and lifted him from the ground.
"Big Brother Rorschach!" Hibari looked nervously at Kuma, and black Haki appeared on her hands.
"Relax." Kuzan patted her shoulder, signaling Hibari to calm down.
"Are you the Rorschach from the North Blue?" Kuma asked in a low voice, grabbing Rorschach's shoulder with his left hand and pressing his right hand against Rorschach's chest.
Rorschach nodded. "Yes, I am Rorschach."
Kuma nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. The paw pad on his right hand vibrated. Rorschach then felt the endless pain and fatigue in his body being miraculously peeled away.
His body, which had been filled with pain and weakness, quickly recovered, becoming light.
Hibari and Kuzan watched as blood-colored mist continuously gushed out from Rorschach's body, spreading a hundred meters behind him and being covered by a bear paw-shaped air shield.
"Is that the pain Big Brother Rorschach suffered? It was actually forced out." Hibari looked at Kuma's actions in shock, finding it unbelievable.
Kuma spread his hands, compressing the mass of air that contained all of Rorschach's pain into the size of a fist. He grabbed it and walked toward Charlotte Linlin's location.
"That thing still useful?" Hibari asked in confusion.
"Pain is only transferred, not gone. If no one takes it, it will eventually return to the person's own body," Kuma said softly. His burly body then suddenly vanished.
A moment later, a crazy shriek from Charlotte Linlin echoed in the distance, making Hibari shudder.
Watching Rorschach regain his strength, Law's worries faded. He picked up his medical bag from the ground and flashed toward the group of wounded soldiers in front of the fortress.
"You know that Kuma has this ability?"
Sentomaru, who was holding a battle-ax, walked over from a distance and tossed a large bundle of glass test tubes toward Rorschach.
Kuma let go of Rorschach, and he landed lightly. He reached out and grabbed the bundle of glass test tubes. He looked at the thick liquid flowing in the test tubes and looked at Sentomaru with some confusion.
"What is this?"
"It's a concentrated nutrient paste made by old man Vegapunk. Don't let its small size fool you. The nutrients in each of these test tubes are equivalent to a hundred-meter-class Sea King…"
As soon as Sentomaru finished speaking, Rorschach's eyes lit up. He pressed his hands together, crushing the twenty glass test tubes.
The nutrient paste in the test tubes splashed in the air, but it was pulled by the invisible air, flowing into Rorschach's open mouth without a single drop being wasted.
While everyone was still stunned, Rorschach had already drained the liquid from the twenty glass test tubes.
His body instantly became visibly hot and red. His body temperature rose sharply, and a large amount of white steam continuously escaped from the pores all over his body, engulfing his figure.
From within the billowing hot steam, a muscular hand reached out and grabbed Enel's shoulder.
"Enel, it's time for you to do your part!"
