BOOOOOOM!!!

When Caesar crashed into Banana Island like a falling star, the world seemed to fall into absolute silence.

Then, as if thousands of tons of explosives had been detonated in an instant, the entire Banana Island shattered into countless fragments.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Massive boulders the size of houses shot out from the island at speeds surpassing cannonballs, hurtling in all directions.

Some unfortunate pirate ships happened to be in the path of these flying rocks and were instantly obliterated.

But even more terrifying was the shockwave that followed.

Centered on Banana Island, it erupted like a ring of expanding air, causing the surrounding sea to sink hundreds of meters in an instant.

The ocean itself seemed to collapse, with towering waves hundreds of meters high rising in the distance as if the skies had overturned.

....

High above, Dragon's expression darkened as he looked down at the sea below.

From their vantage point, they could clearly see that the moment Caesar struck the island, it vanished completely—reduced to dust in an instant.

Then, a huge shockwave spread in a circular motion across the ocean, generating waves hundreds of meters high—far more terrifying than the tsunami Blackbeard's Tremor had caused earlier.

Sabo, Ivankov and the others were utterly speechless, staring motionless at the devastation below.

Luffy's face was ashen as he muttered bitterly, "Can my Bajrang Gun reach this level of power?"

Dragon glanced at his disheartened son and sighed inwardly.

Only Kid and Law behind them had twisted expressions, their eyes burning with hatred as they stared at the golden bird beneath their feet—there was no room for fear in their gazes.

"Even if you're a god, I'll kill you one day!" Kid's eyes brimmed with endless killing intent.

Every time he thought of Killer and his fallen subordinates, he was consumed by madness!

....

Meanwhile, high in the distant sky, the massive Oro Jackson suddenly shook violently.

Its enormous hull halted mid-flight, sent hurtling backward by a terrifying shockwave.

"What now? Shockwaves? Has Blackbeard mastered the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to this extent?" Rayleigh exclaimed, gripping the ship's railing tightly.

The Oro Jackson tumbled uncontrollably through the air, its contents and crew thrown into chaos.

Gaban ignoring his distress over the ship, buried his axe into the hull to anchor himself against the shockwave.

"Waaaah! Help me!" Vincent shrieked as he was flung into the raging winds, about to plummet thousands of meters.

A fall from this height would turn him into a pulp—unless he was Kaido.

"Troublesome brat." A harpoon with a rope shot from the Oro Jackson's cabin, piercing Vincent's calf and yanking him back mid-scream.

It was the fish-man Sunbell, who had caught him earlier.

"The battle's escalating!" Rayleigh suddenly shouted.

Gaban froze, then nodded in agreement.

....

Below them, several Marine warships were helplessly pushed back by the shockwave, their engines useless as they were forced miles backward in an instant.

"Damn it, are they trying to destroy the New World? These lawless bastards!" Akainu roared furiously on deck.

Beside him, Garp stood unwavering in his white Justice cloak, rooted to the deck like a nail.

....

From the direction of Whole Cake Island, the Red Force abruptly halted, unable to advance an inch—instead, it was being forced backward by the terrifying force.

"What the hell is happening over there? This is insane!" Yasopp struggled to hold his telescope steady as he peered at the distant sea.

There, a colossal tsunami, hundreds of meters high, loomed like a collapsing sky, surging toward them.

"We're screwed."

Queen's tiny eyes widened in terror at the apocalyptic sight.

.....

From Sweet Island, Aokiji didn't hesitate upon seeing the towering wave.

He instantly unleashed his signature move.

"Ice Age!!"

White frost spread from his palms, and the moment it touched the sea, the freezing power of his Devil Fruit instantly turned the ocean into ice.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Amid the sounds of expanding ice, the azure sea rapidly transformed into a vast, white glacial expanse stretching for miles.

Hundreds of meters high tsunamis were instantly frozen, transforming into majestic mountains.

The sea surrounding Banana Island was also frozen in an instant.

The pirate ships that had been tossed by the waves were now trapped within crystallized ice!

....

On Banana Island, the gigantic golden bird gradually shrank in size, revealing Caesar's terrifying form—standing at nine meters tall, his muscles grotesquely defined as he was resembling an ancient demon god.

Looking at the island he had just shattered into fragments with his charge, Caesar rubbed his slightly dizzy head and muttered.

"Yare yare, I might have gone a little overboard."

"DIE, CAESAR!"

Just as Caesar was talking to himself, a pitch-black rift suddenly tore open in the air behind him.

A massive black hand emerged, swirling with ink-like darkness, exuding an endless suction force trying to drag Caesar in!

"Hmm? You're still alive? An alternate dimension—interesting ability." Caesar remained rooted in place, unmoved despite Blackbeard's terrifying pull.

"What?! I can't pull him?!"

Blackbeard's eyes nearly bulged out of his skull as he stared in disbelief at the dark currents in his hand.

This was the first time his ability had ever failed.

"No, you did pull me." Caesar's lips curled into a bright smile.

"By one millimeter."

"Don't mess with me! This is the Dark-Dark Fruit, the bane of all Devil Fruit users!" Blackbeard completely lost his composure, emerging fully from the dimensional rift.

His right fist clenched, instantly shattering the atmosphere as he launched a punch straight at Caesar's head.

At the same time, Blackbeard roared, "Shiryu! Redfield! Now!"

Following his furious shout, two bloodthirsty figures abruptly appeared—one on each side.

Their weapons, coated in both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, crackled with black-red lightning, unleashing endless tyrannical thunder as they slashed towards Caesar's head!

"Slaughter Sword Technique—400th Form: Underworld!"

"Starburst Sun Halo!!"

From the left came a blood-red slash over a hundred meters long.

From the right, a flash of violet-red lightning streaked past, aiming to sever Caesar's head!

And from the front—Blackbeard's descending fist!

"Air Tremor!!"
