The people of the Pirate World were utterly stunned.
With a single move, Broly had caught Saitama's Serious Punch.
Everyone knew what that punch represented. It was the strike that had forced Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki armor to fluctuate violently.
Yet now, this savage named Broly had stopped it effortlessly.
On the battlefield, Broly slowly curled his lips into a cruel smile.
He threw a heavy punch.
In an instant, terrifying energy erupted outward, so violent that even the super artificial planet began to distort under the pressure of his battle will.
Dark clouds gathered, thunder rolled endlessly, and the sky took on the appearance of an approaching apocalypse.
Bang.
The punch landed squarely on Saitama's face, shattering the bridge of his nose with overwhelming force.
It did not stop there.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
A relentless barrage of punches crashed into Saitama's body. Each impact produced a dull, suffocating sound, like massive mountains colliding head-on.
Bones fractured under the onslaught.
The invincible symbol of the One Punch Man world was now being beaten down like a helpless child.
In the One Punch Man world, Genos clenched his teeth until they nearly cracked.
Saitama Sensei was supposed to be invincible, yet he was being overwhelmed so brutally by this barbarian.
Across the Pirate World, the Shinobi world, Record of Ragnarok, and countless other worlds, expressions of pure horror spread.
Zeus from the Record of Ragnarok world collapsed to his knees, all divine dignity stripped away in the face of Broly's terror.
At that moment, he was already considering whether kneeling and begging for mercy might spare his life if Broly truly unified everything.
The powerhouses of the Shinobi world, the Sage of Six Paths, Uchiha Madara, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke, all felt a chill run down their spines.
This battle was different from anything before.
Broly was far more brutal than the previous opponents, and the protection of the space time pendulum was gone.
If Broly wished, he could slaughter everyone present without restraint.
The relentless assault finally caused Saitama to lose consciousness.
Broly grabbed him by the collar and flung him away casually.
Saitama's body fell like a broken kite, crashing heavily into the ground. He lay motionless, utterly defeated.
Silence followed.
Kaido's hands trembled violently, disbelief written all over his face.
"How is this possible… that bald man was only second to Ashveil."
Big Mom stared in shock.
"That monster… even with bodies like ours, he could probably crush us with a single finger."
Golden Lion Shiki let out a cold laugh.
"You Yonko and your so called steel bodies," he said mockingly. "In front of monsters like this, they are nothing but tofu."
For once, Kaido and Big Mom did not argue.
They knew he was right.
The Sage of Six Paths wiped cold sweat from his brow.
"Based on what we have seen, Broly's combat power surpasses Ashveil's."
"Saitama, whom Ashveil could not instantly kill, was crushed with ease."
"The difference is obvious."
Even Uchiha Madara wore a rare expression of dread.
Aside from Ashveil, Broly was only the second existence he acknowledged as someone capable of killing him instantly.
Naruto clenched his fists, his eyes burning with resolve.
"No matter what happens, we must win in the end."
"Otherwise, we will have no choice but to fight that barbarian to the death."
Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, Killer Bee, and the others stood silently, their expressions grim.
On the battlefield, Broly slowly turned his gaze toward Ashveil.
"I dealt with the weak one first," Broly said with wild excitement. "Now it's your turn."
Ashveil narrowed his eyes slightly.
Saitama had already broken through his limiter twice during their battle, yet even with that strength, he was utterly overwhelmed by Broly's Great Ape power.
This opponent was anything but ordinary.
Ashveil raised a finger.
The movement was small, but the Conqueror's Haki that erupted shook the heavens.
Broly frowned, feeling the pressure of Ashveil's aura.
"So you understand aura too," Broly sneered. "This feels similar to Zeno's power."
"Too bad for him. I already killed Zeno."
Ashveil's gaze darkened.
If that was true, then the space time pendulum had truly driven Broly down a path of unchecked evolution, both in power and in mind.
Broly roared, releasing his own overwhelming aura.
The clash between his energy and Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki turned the sky into a storm of lightning and thunder.
The ground trembled violently, and the oceans surged with towering waves.
It was the very image of the end of the world.
Ashveil felt it clearly.
Broly's aura resembled a savage, beastlike Conqueror's Haki, while his own was the aura of a rational overlord.
They were fundamentally different.
Broly howled again.
Energy exploded from his legs as he shot forward like a missile, tearing the sky apart.
Charging power into his fist, he slammed toward Ashveil.
Midway, Broly paused, sensing the invisible Conqueror's Haki barrier around Ashveil.
"Hiding behind aura?" Broly scoffed. "Boring."
He raised his hands, condensing massive energy into a single sphere above his head.
"Go."
The energy sphere collided with Ashveil's barrier.
The moment they touched, an apocalyptic explosion erupted.
Boom.
Mountains were reduced to dust, rivers were blocked by collapsing debris, and floods surged through the forests, sweeping everything away.
Smoke engulfed the entire planet.
Ashveil's outer Haki defense shattered, leaving only his Conqueror's Haki armor clinging tightly to his body.
The Pirate World was shaken to its core.
That barrier had once seemed absolute, yet it was broken so casually.
Broly widened his eyes, clearly intrigued.
"You withstood that," he said with a grin. "Interesting."
"Now let's see this."
Broly inhaled sharply.
The surrounding air, along with fragments of Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki, was dragged toward his mouth.
Ashveil's expression finally turned serious.
To directly inhale Conqueror's Haki was something almost unimaginable.
Energy surged violently from Broly's mouth as he opened it wide like a feral beast.
The surrounding worlds were left speechless.
Zeus collapsed again, wailing loudly.
"I told you, he's a demon god reincarnated. It's over. Even Ashveil can't stop him."
Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Golden Lion Shiki stepped forward, their eyes cold.
"Old man," Whitebeard growled, "say one more word and we'll knock your teeth out."
Zeus stiffened, then puffed up his chest.
"I am a god. How dare you lowly humans threaten me."
The next moment, Zeus suddenly flew into the air, flailing wildly.
"What's happening? Why am I flying?"
Laughter erupted from the Whitebeard Pirates.
Mockery echoed everywhere.
Zeus burned with humiliation, rage boiling in his eyes as he struggled helplessly in the sky.
