Chapter 35: The Second World War Begins, Rewards, Punishments, And Rules!
Seven days passed quickly.
Naval Headquarters had gathered even more Marines, elites summoned from all over the world within the week.
Why call them here? To prepare for World War II, naturally. There was strictly no need to gather these people at Naval Headquarters, but Sengoku had no intelligence on the enemy's location. Just in case the battle took place at Marineford, it was better to be prepared.
Yuichi was easy to find in the crowd because Hancock stood beside him. While everyone else was tense about the impending battle, Hancock and Yuichi looked like they were sightseeing. The other Marine soldiers could only look at Yuichi with envy.
In the Marineford plaza, absolute silence reigned. No soldier dared to speak. This time, not only were the three Admirals present, but the Marine Hero Garp had returned. Vice Admiral Tsuru, known as the Great Staff Officer, was there, along with more than twenty other Vice Admirals. The Seven Warlords of the Sea were also assembled.
This lineup could be considered the Marines' strongest force. However, there was still a gap compared to the Summit War. First, the soldiers weren't as carefully selected, and while there were many Vice Admirals, they weren't all the strongest of their rank. The standouts were Ghost Spider, Doberman, Momonga, Bastille, and Lonz of the Giant Squad.
Still, with the Admirals, the new World's Number One Swordsman Yuichi, and the Seven Warlords, they believed it was enough.
There was one hour left. Based on the conclusion of the last world war, the new one would begin exactly seven days later.
Meanwhile, numerous camera phone bugs at Naval Headquarters were livestreaming to the Sabaody Archipelago, where a massive crowd watched anxiously.
As time ticked by, everyone's breathing became heavy. The time was almost up.
.....
Ninja World
In Konoha Village, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, stood beside Sarutobi. At this point in the timeline, the Chunin Exams had not yet occurred, so Rasa was still alive.
Rasa and Sarutobi stood atop the Hokage building. Below them stood the gathered might of the Konoha ninjas. Behind them stood the legendary Sannin. At this moment, Konoha possessed the power of more than five Kage-level ninjas. With such a lineup, Sarutobi believed victory must belong to Konoha.
Time passed, second by second. None of the ninjas spoke. They waited silently under the harsh midday sun, ignoring the heat. Even the final moments seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
Ten seconds left!
Ten!
Nine!
Eight!
Seven!
...
Three!
Two!
One!
The moment the countdown ended—Wow!!
The familiar light curtain reappeared in the sky. Just like last time, it unfolded suddenly without warning. To everyone watching, it felt as though the screen was facing them directly.
"Mysterious power! How on earth is this possible?" Jiraiya marveled.
"This may be the power of a God," Tsunade whispered.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. "I think perhaps this thing is not in the sky, but in our minds."
It merely felt like a light curtain in the sky.
[Fusion of All Worlds]
[The Second World War Begins]
[All creatures in both worlds can see this System.]
[The fusion of the two worlds will sacrifice one world to provide energy for the evolution of the other.]
[Note: This is the evolution of the whole world. All creatures need to fight for their existence.]
[Once defeated, the loser's world will disappear completely, and everything will cease to exist.]
This passage appeared again, reminding the inhabitants of both worlds that they must fight with everything they had.
[This World War references the results of the First World War.]
[This war will be conducted in a confrontation format.]
[Divided into two battles: Group Battle and Individual Battle.]
[Group Battle: Selected representative forces of the two worlds will choose three people for a 3-on-3 battle.]
[Individual Battle: One person selected for 1-on-1 combat.]
[A participant can only play once.]
[Participants will receive a special reward after winning, regardless of the final result.]
After explaining the rules, the rewards for victory and the punishments for failure appeared on the screen.
[World War Rewards]
[Winner: 5% increase to the overall enhancement of the world.]
[World War Punishment]
[Loser: The overall power of the world is weakened by 3%.]
[Special Attention: The weakening of the world's power will bring about a series of natural disasters. Simultaneously, all creatures in the world, as well as their power systems, will be weakened.]
[This marks the official start of the fusion. It is up to you to decide whether to exist or not.]
[This battlefield is located in Arena No. 1 in the Fusion of All Worlds Space.]
[All creatures in both worlds can watch the battle through the light curtain.]
[Simultaneously, creatures from both worlds will be randomly selected to enter the auditorium of Arena No. 1.]
[Random Selection initiated...]
Suddenly, Whitebeard, who was watching the light curtain, felt his body suppressed by a mysterious force. When he opened his eyes, he appeared in a vast white space.
His original chair had disappeared. He was now sitting on a large, soft sofa floating in mid-air, high in the sky. Rows of similar sofas were neatly arranged around him in a trapezoidal formation.
Swish!!
Just as Whitebeard was wondering where he was, another person appeared on the sofa next to him.
"BIG MOM..."
Before Big Mom, who had also been drawn, could react, she heard a familiar voice beside her. Turning her head to look at Whitebeard, she froze for a moment. "It's been a long time! Edward Newgate..."
Swish!!
A figure appeared on the other side of Whitebeard. And seeing this person made Whitebeard smile...
