Boom!!!
Purple gravity waves were violently unleashed, carrying an overwhelming horizontal force that distorted everything in their path.
Crack!
Screech!
Trees were torn from the ground, massive boulders lifted into the air, shattering into rubble as they were twisted apart by warped gravity.
The distorted gravitational field dragged all the debris along, compressing the air itself into a terrifying horizontal wind current.
Bang!!!!
The massive wind pressure collided head-on with the incoming hurricane, forming an invisible barrier that halted the storm's advance.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
The hurricane twisted violently in midair, expanding and contracting as if struggling against an unseen wall.
Boom…
At last, with a dull explosive sound, the hurricane shattered and dispersed in all directions.
The storm had been cleanly cut apart by the gravity-generated wind pressure, the remaining fragments slowly dissolving into the night sky.
"Phew… that was close. This old man nearly put the people of this Town in danger."
Fujitora slowly sheathed Shodai Kitetsu and exhaled deeply.
Clap.
A pale hand suddenly rested on his arm.
Disaster's hoarse, eerie laughter echoed beside him.
"Hehehe… you are finished. I touched you."
"…"
Fujitora's expression did not change, but Shodai Kitetsu had already vanished from his hand.
Swish!
A sharp slash cut through the air, severing the pale arm instantly.
Strangely, no blood spilled from the wound, the limb falling lifelessly to the ground like rotten wood.
Plop.
Disaster flickered away from Fujitora's gravity field.
He had lost an arm, yet his face showed no reaction at all, as if the limb had never belonged to him.
"Your control over gravity is impressive. But once you are touched by me, it is already over."
Disaster stared at Fujitora from a distance, a shriveled grin spreading across his corpse-like face.
"It has been centuries since I fought someone like you. Unfortunately, you can only go this far."
Fujitora raised his head and calmly looked at the one-armed figure.
"Are you saying you have already killed me?"
"That is correct. You are already standing on the edge of death."
Disaster's lifeless eyes locked onto him.
"I am a user of the Disaster Fruit. Everything I touch will be plagued by endless calamities. No matter how powerful someone is, continuous Disaster will weaken them until they inevitably die."
"Disaster Fruit…"
Fujitora was genuinely startled.
He had never seen any record of such a Devil Fruit, nor encountered anything similar before.
Crack!
A sharp sound echoed beneath his feet.
Disaster, Ground Collapse.
"Danger!"
Fujitora instantly reduced the gravity around his body and leaped into the air.
Rumble!
The ground where he had been standing collapsed completely, forming a massive bottomless pit.
The land had already been unstable from the previous gravity pressure, and now it finally gave way.
"That was close."
Just as Fujitora adjusted his gravity to descend, the ground below cracked again.
Disaster, Lava.
Rumble…
The surface split open, dark red magma surging upward, erupting directly toward Fujitora.
Boom!!!!
"Gravity, Crush!"
The scorching lava froze in midair and was slammed downward by overwhelming gravity, sinking back into the earth.
"Zero-Gravity Flight!"
Fujitora used the heat waves from the lava as propulsion, accelerating upward.
His decision was simple.
If the ground itself had become a trigger for Disaster, then he would avoid landing entirely.
Screech! Screech!!!
Suddenly, more than a dozen massive birds burst out of the darkness.
Each was over seven meters long, with razor claws and sharp beaks, shrieking as they dove toward Fujitora in the sky.
Disaster, Bird Attack.
"I am sorry to drag you into this…"
Fujitora sensed their presence through Observation Haki and gently placed his hand on Shodai Kitetsu's sheath.
Crack!
"Fall."
Screech! Screech!!!
The birds suddenly lost the ability to fly.
Their bodies dropped straight down as if their weight had multiplied a hundredfold.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One by one, they smashed into the ground, reduced to bloody pulp.
"All kinds of Disasters… what a horrifying Devil Fruit."
Fujitora floated in midair, white eyes fixed on Disaster below.
He held Shodai Kitetsu vertically in front of him.
"If I defeat the main body, this ability should end, correct?"
Swish!
A purple arc flashed through the air as Fujitora executed a rapid Iai slash.
Bang!
The ground beneath Disaster sank violently.
Crushing gravity engulfed the entire area, pressing down with irresistible force.
"…"
Disaster's body slammed into the earth, trembling uncontrollably, yet his expression remained eerily calm.
"Since Disaster cannot be nullified, eliminating the user is indeed the most logical choice."
Boom!!!!
As Shodai Kitetsu was fully sheathed, the area collapsed completely.
The ground shattered, forming a gigantic abyss that dragged Disaster straight into the depths.
"Is it over?"
Fujitora frowned slightly.
Rumble rumble!
Dark clouds gathered overhead.
Violent lightning descended from the sky, striking toward Fujitora like divine punishment.
Disaster, Thunder.
"It seems not…"
Fujitora sighed and shifted his gravity, descending rapidly to avoid the lightning.
"I cannot return to the Town. I must leave this island, stronger Disasters may continue to appear…"
From within the giant pit, something began to move.
Crack…
A rotting, broken corpse crawled out, its body twisted and festering.
"Heh… heh… heh… unfortunately, I cannot die."
Disaster lifted his shattered head, his protruding eyeballs slowly rotating as they locked onto Fujitora, who was moving farther away from the Town.
"Feel the torment of endless Disaster. I hope you last longer than the others before you."
Black flames suddenly ignited around Disaster's body.
In moments, his decayed form regenerated, restoring him to his original pale, corpse-like appearance.
Even the severed arm had grown back.
"Next… a blasphemer with even stronger traces of the creator."
Disaster turned his head in another direction.
"From the moment I ate this cursed fruit, this fate was already sealed. You cannot escape it. My destiny is simply your future."
Rumble rumble!!!!
Above the distant sea, the sky split apart.
A massive meteorite descended from the heavens, blazing as it crashed toward a floating figure.
Disaster, Meteorite Fall.
"This is getting troublesome…"
Fujitora looked up at the colossal rock falling toward him and let out a helpless chuckle.
"This old man did not summon that meteorite at all…"
Disaster had actually called down a meteor to strike him.
