Under the shadow of the Sky Island, a man with golden hair draped over his shoulders and a ship's rudder stuck in his head, was puffing on a cigar, looking down at this small reef from above.
His gaze swept over Garp, then Kizaru, then Dragon, and finally, it landed on White Night, who had a calm expression.
"Garp! You old bastard, you're still not dead yet!"
Golden Lion Shiki's voice rang out again, filled with a "cordial" greeting, as if reuniting with an old friend.
"And the Marine's Admiral kid, the leader of the Revolutionary Army... Gahahahaha! This weakest of seas, the East Blue, is really lively today!"
Garp's face was as black as the bottom of a pot; he looked up and roared at the Golden Lion in the sky.
"Shiki! You immortal bastard! What are you doing in the East Blue!"
"Doing what?" The Golden Lion laughed wildly, spreading his arms as if to embrace the whole world.
"Of course, I'm here to take what rightfully belongs to me!"
His gaze was burning, and his tone was filled with excitement.
"The power that can defeat a Marine Admiral, the most interesting toy of this era... I want it!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand!
Rumble—!
Above, at the edge of that giant island in the sky, a mountain peak was forcibly torn apart, transforming into a meteor that blotted out the sky, trailing a long tail of flames, and whistling down towards Foosha Village!
With this attack, he intended to wipe the entire Village, along with the people on the reef, from the map!
"Oh my... what an utterly unreasonable senior."
Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses, and the lazy smile on his face disappeared completely for the first time, replaced by an extremely dangerous solemnity.
He looked up at the falling mountain peak and scratched his head in annoyance.
"Now, the workload is really excessive."
He complained, but his body had already transformed into countless points of light.
"Yata no Kagami!"
A sky full of light rain swirled upwards, like a giant golden net, meeting the falling mountain peak!
On the other side, Dragon's face also turned cold.
He was here to seek power to overturn the world, not to watch his hometown be destroyed by a madman.
Whoosh—!
A fierce wind suddenly gathered, and a towering tornado rose from the ground, swirling seawater and air, emitting a deafening roar, and rushing towards the sky!
"You bastard!"
Garp was even more furious, seeing the mountain about to crash into Foosha Village, he stomped forward!
The reef instantly shattered!
He shot up like a cannonball, and on his right fist, a pure white halo frantically gathered and compressed!
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit erupted without reservation!
"Get... out of my way!!!"
He punched out!
Crack—!
The atmosphere shattered like a mirror!
Pure vibrational force, transformed into an invisible shockwave, arrived later but struck first, slamming hard into the falling mountain peak!
Boom!!!!!!
The deafening roar made the entire surface of the East Blue tremble!
The mountain peak, under the combined attack of three world-class powerhouses, exploded in mid-air!
Countless shattered rocks mixed with golden light bullets and strong winds, turning into a doomsday-like rain, poured down!
White Night stood still, letting the strong wind blow his clothes, he raised his hand, and an invisible barrier blocked all the aftershocks.
He looked at the three figures in the sky, then at the Golden Lion who was still laughing wildly high above, and the smile on his face became even more playful.
"This is... getting livelier and livelier."
"Garp! Your power... what's going on?!"
High in the sky, the Golden Lion's laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by extreme shock and greed!
He stared intently at the pure white halo on Garp's fist.
"That's Whitebeard's old man's ability! Why is it on you?!"
"BWAHAHAHA!" Garp landed on the reef, letting out a burst of wild laughter.
"My business is none of your damn business!"
"Interesting! Too interesting!" Instead of getting angry, the Golden Lion became even more excited.
"The power to defeat a Marine Admiral, and Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit! Gahahahaha! It seems even heaven is helping me!"
"All of this belongs to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Sky Island began to shake violently!
"Shishi Odoshi: Chimaki!"
Rumble!
The sea boiled!
Under the terrifying Devil Fruit ability control of the Golden Lion, the seawater of the entire sea area seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand, stirring up towering waves hundreds of meters high!
The giant waves transformed into ferocious Golden Lions, roaring, closing in from all directions towards the small reef, intending to completely engulf everything here!
"So troublesome!"
Garp roared, and on his fists, the power of vibration gathered again.
Kizaru's figure reappeared in mid-air, his hands crossed over his chest, shining with golden light.
"Yata no Kagami!"
Around Dragon, a storm gathered, and in his eyes, a dangerous light flickered.
The three top powerhouses prepared to strike again.
However, just then.
White Night's voice slowly rang out.
"I say..."
He looked up at the Golden Lion in the sky, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.
His voice was not loud, even somewhat light and airy, yet it was like an invisible sharp sword, instantly piercing through the roar of the waves, the howl of the strong wind, and the terrifying momentum that could overturn the world.
The entire world seemed to have been paused at this moment.
Garp, who was about to gather the power of vibration again to completely shatter the towering tsunami, suddenly froze.
Kizaru, whose fingertips had already gathered light strong enough to penetrate heaven and earth, ready to unleash "Yata no Kagami," had his lazy expression frozen on his face.
Dragon, around whom strong winds gathered, preparing to counter the torrent with a storm, also had his cold eyes suddenly contract.
The three powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the world, all stopped their movements in unison, their gazes simultaneously turning towards White Night, who had been standing quietly the whole time.
Even Golden Lion Shiki, who was laughing wildly ten thousand meters high in the sky, preparing to enjoy the sight of the world under his feet, had the smile on his face freeze.
He lowered his head, and in his domineering and arrogant eyes, a hint of confusion appeared for the first time.
What's going on?
Why did these three guys stop?
On the reef, a dangerous light flashed across White Night's lazy face.
He clearly had no aura emanating, not even the slightest energy fluctuation, yet he made everyone present feel a tremor from the depths of their souls.
It was a danger more terrifying than facing the Golden Lion's towering waves, more terrifying than facing a Marine Admiral's deadly light beams, and even more terrifying than facing Garp's atmosphere-shattering iron fist...
White Night slowly raised his eyelids, his gaze sweeping across the sky, and across the ferocious pride of lions made of seawater, closing in from all directions.
He spoke with a hint of impatience, his voice still calm.
"Causing trouble in my territory, aren't you underestimating me a bit too much?"
