"Y–You've got to be kidding me."
One Piece World — Marine Headquarters
Akainu's eyes widened as the second meteor appeared on-screen.
He was shocked to his core.
Uchiha Madara…
was a creature far beyond what he had imagined.
Summoning one meteor was already terrifying—
but that was just the beginning.
There was a second one.
And what horrified Akainu even more…
Madara's expression didn't change.
Not fear.
Not exhaustion.
Not strain.
Nothing.
He looked as calm as someone casually swatting a fly.
Just how strong was this man?
Akainu's fingertips trembled.
Aokiji narrowed his eyes, staring at the descending meteor.
"If something like that fell on Marineford…
I don't know that even we could stop the first one."
"And if he dropped a second? Or a third?"
The room fell silent.
Sengoku exhaled deeply.
"A terrifying enemy…
Thankfully, he's not from our world.
Otherwise, he'd be a nightmare."
Garp didn't laugh this time.
He glanced at Sengoku and sighed heavily.
"Rather than being glad he's not our enemy…
shouldn't we be reflecting on how weak we are?"
Sengoku's face instantly darkened.
Naruto World — Konoha
"This can't be real… this kind of attack!?"
Koharu trembled violently as she stared at the screen.
She tried to imagine encountering that in real life—
and immediately felt her knees go weak.
Hiruzen's face was solemn.
He had noticed several critical details.
—What exactly is written on the Uchiha Stone Tablet?
—Who is this "Kabuto," and how is he connected to Orochimaru?
—Why did Ōnoki of all people do something so unlike himself?
One question after another filled Hiruzen's mind.
He glanced sideways at Danzo.
Of all people, Hiruzen knew Danzo's hands were always dirty.
If anyone would know about this Kabuto…
It would be him.
Danzo himself was shaken.
Why is Uchiha Madara revived?
Why does he have such absurd power?
And Kabuto…
a man he had heard whispers about…
Did that man revive Madara?
Danzo's gaze flickered with uncertainty.
Sound Village — Orochimaru
Orochimaru licked his lips, eyes shining with madness.
"Interesting…
The Rinnegan…
The final evolution of the Sharingan, hm?"
He chuckled.
"To think that the one who inherits my knowledge…
ends up being Kabuto."
His serpentine eyes never left the screen.
Everything suddenly became far more entertaining.
Back to the Video
The second meteor plummeted at terrifying speed.
No one below knew what was happening above.
They only heard the thunderous roar.
Madara's cold voice pushed them deeper into fear.
Then—
BOOOOM!!!
A violent impact shook the sky.
The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki's face twisted;
blood sprayed from his nose, ears, and mouth.
He was struck by the full force of the second meteor.
CRASH!!
Ōnoki fell from the sky like a broken kite.
Gaara sensed the disaster instantly.
"EVERYONE FALL BACK!!!"
His sand surged outward, grabbing every shinobi he could,
including the unconscious Tsuchikage.
Shinobi ran desperately for the edge of the impact zone.
But there was no time.
The sand holding up the first meteor suddenly collapsed—
and the massive rock fell like a boosted projectile.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!!!"
Shinobi who had escaped the radius turned back,
desperately erecting walls of earth to slow the meteor…
But the walls shattered like paper.
"AAAAHHHHHH!!!!"
"No—NOOOOO!!!!"
Countless shinobi screamed in despair,
reaching toward freedom only meters away…
But fate slammed shut.
BOOOOOOM——!!!
The meteor hit.
The earth convulsed violently.
The shockwave was so massive that even the headquarters
—thousands of kilometers away—
felt it clearly.
The screen fell into horrifying silence.
Bodies lay everywhere.
Some shinobi were pulverized—nothing left but red stains.
Those who survived stared in stunned grief.
Moments ago, they had fought side-by-side, laughed together…
Now they were gone.
This was the cruelty of war.
No one was guaranteed to live.
And Madara—the architect of the devastation—
had also been crushed by his own meteor…
Only to regenerate instantly, unscathed.
The entire multiverse watching went silent.
This man…
is he truly immortal?
Not a scratch.
Not even a tear in his clothing.
A monster.
A real monster.
Madara surveyed the ruined battlefield,
and for the first time, he smiled.
"Look closely."
"This… is the power of a god."
"In the face of this power—everything is meaningless."
Then—
that laugh.
That infamous, arrogant, unrestrained laugh.
"Fuhahaha… Hahahahahaha!!!"
"I, Uchiha Madara…
am the one chosen by destiny!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
The entire multiverse went cold.
Arrogant.
Wild.
Unhinged.
Truly—
a member of the Four Maniac Laughing Kings.
