Chapter 386: Protected by the Iron Fist and the Black Arm!
East Blue · Dawn Village
Torrential rain poured down like a waterfall, and dark clouds pressed low as if trying to swallow the small village whole.
Thunder exploded, instantly illuminating the stormy sky and revealing two silhouettes stomping through the puddles.
Saint Somaz threw his head back and laughed, his voice booming like thunder, shaking the curtain of rain. "How fascinating! For a mere Marine's family, they actually made me make the trip personally?!"
He smacked his lips, his face full of impatience and mockery. "If it weren't for the fact that brat Shamus is the designated next Commander... I wouldn't bother with this kind of trash-tier errand!!!"
He cast a sideways glance through the rain at Blueno walking beside him. "Right, little horns?~"
Blueno's heart clenched. Rainwater mixed with cold sweat slid down his temples. Facing a Celestial Dragon, he didn't dare say a word. He merely lowered his head in silence.
Seeing this, Somaz lost interest in teasing him. He casually flicked his fingertips.
Thorny vines writhed at the tips of his fingers, radiating a freezing, lethal aura.
"However... this trip has been somewhat interesting."
He narrowed his eyes, a savage smile spreading across his face. "There were quite a few hidden sentries along the way, and every single one of them put up a decent fight~ At least Rear Admiral level to start..."
A flash of lightning illuminated the scene—
In the dark alleys and under the eaves along the street, over a dozen bodies lay scattered in the puddles. Rain and blood mixed into a single puddle. The area was dead silent.
These men were all in plainclothes, but the aura of seasoned soldiers still clung to them. Now, they were all bound by thorny vines, their bodies rigid, their eyes vacant.
Blueno looked on, his heart trembling with terror. "For the family of a mere Marine... to have this many hidden guards?"
"This is absolutely not a normal level of background... In the East Blue, if it isn't Garp, then it can only be—"
A name exploded in his mind like a thunderclap:
—Roy!
The moment the name surfaced, a chill crawled up his spine. Blueno nearly froze in place, his breathing growing rapid.
Somaz, however, couldn't care less. Splashing through the bloody puddles, he walked straight up to the front door of Rock's home.
He raised a hand and knocked, his smile mocking. "Hello? Anyone home?"
There was no answer from inside, only the howling wind and rain battering the wooden windows.
Somaz's patience vanished instantly. He raised his leg and kicked out violently—
"BANG!!!"
The wooden door shattered, splinters flying everywhere. The candlelight inside was instantly extinguished by the rushing wind, plunging the room into darkness.
Somaz bared his stark white teeth, looking like a demon crawling out of hell. "Hey, hey, hey—"
"You two must be Roy's parents, right?"
He sneered, his voice carrying the chill of the storm outside. "Be good and come with me!!!"
"RUMBLE—!!!"
A flash of lightning tore through the night, illuminating the scene inside the house—
Rock and Irene sat peacefully at a round table. Hot tea steamed in front of them, the white vapor curling upward, making it seem as if they were in a completely different world, isolated from the storm outside.
And in front of them, sitting with their backs to the door, were two towering silhouettes standing like an impenetrable fortress.
The purple-haired giant gently set his teacup down, his voice as low and hard as iron. "Sigh. As expected, they really are this shameless..."
The white-haired titan cracked his neck, his joints popping loudly as he slowly stood up.
"Ah~ Seems like Roy having Kuma warp us back here ahead of time was the right call after all..."
Somaz's footsteps abruptly stopped. His pupils shrank to pinpricks, his breathing turning ragged.
In that flash of lightning, he recognized those two silhouettes.
The purple-haired "Black Arm" Zephyr.
The white-haired "Iron Fist" Garp.
Two living legends who had once shaken the entire world were now standing right in front of him.
"H-How... how is this possible?!" Cold sweat instantly soaked his back, clinging to him despite the pouring rain.
Garp slowly turned around. His gaze was freezing, his expression as dark as a descending reaper. "It seems you lot really are tired of living..."
Somaz's throat tightened. Just as he opened his mouth to defend himself—
Suddenly, a black shadow exploded forward!
An iron fist, wreathed in black-red lightning-like Haki, tore through the air! The lightning and Haki intertwined, forming a cross-shaped starlight that expanded rapidly in the shockwave, looking as if it were tearing the night sky apart!
The air was forcibly compressed until it detonated, the boom shattering eardrums!
Accompanied by a roaring explosion: "YOU PIECES OF TRASH!!!"
"BOOM—!!!"
Somaz didn't even have time to react before the shadow of the fist swallowed everything!
In the next heartbeat, his sternum shattered completely, blood spraying wildly from his mouth! He was sent flying backward like a cannonball, his body tearing through the entire street and ripping through the curtain of rain, before finally smashing brutally into the rocky cliffs of the distant beach!
The cliff face exploded instantly. Shattered stone and crashing waves churned together, a mist of blood scattering under the flashes of lightning!
Beside the door, Blueno was scared out of his wits. His eyes nearly popped out of his head. Just as he was about to activate his Door-Door Fruit to escape—
"Think you can run?!"
A low, freezing roar was accompanied by a massive hand, gripping his skull like an iron vice!
In the next second, Conqueror's Haki crushed down!
"BANG—!!!"
Blueno's body was slammed face-first into the mud. Stones flew as his eyes instantly rolled back into his head, knocking him completely unconscious!
Garp hoisted the unconscious Blueno up by the collar. The ground beneath his feet cracked as he shot through the rain like a meteor, chasing after where he had launched Somaz.
"Lapdogs of the Celestial Dragons... Today, I'm going to teach you all some damn—MANNERS!!!"
Inside the House.
Zephyr merely offered a calm smile, reaching out to refill Rock and Irene's teacups.
"Pay it no mind. It's just a minor disturbance."
His tone was light and breezy, as if the earth-shattering scene that had just occurred was nothing but a hallucination.
"Let me tell you, back when Roy was in training..."
Outside, thunder crashed and the storm howled, mixed with Garp's furious roars and the explosive sounds of the beach cliffs collapsing.
Inside, the aroma of tea drifted through the air, accompanied by the warm laughter of Rock and Irene.
High above in the sky somewhere, Roy stood suspended in the void. The intel transmitted through his secure channel made a weight lift from his chest.
"With Instructor Zephyr and the Old Man protecting my parents... they'll be fine," he murmured. His gaze instantly sharpened, his killing intent igniting like a wildfire.
In the next heartbeat, his silhouette seemed to be erased by space itself, vanishing from the sky.
Wano Country, A Land Intertwined with Thunder and Fire.
The clouds were violently torn apart, and a heaven-shaking dragon's roar echoed through the firmament!
The massive form of the Azure Dragon broke through the thunderclouds. His scales gleamed with a cold light as he roared, diving straight toward the battlefield!
ZAAAP—!!!
Countless bolts of lightning detonated across the sky. Enel spread his arms with a savage grin, the thunder drums on his back booming as his eyes burned with fanaticism.
"I've been waiting for you, Kaido!!!"
He transformed into a streak of lightning and shot upward. Thunder and dragon's roar clashed violently in the high heavens!
Seeing this, Issho lightly tapped his cane sword against the ground. The earth fractured violently, and dozens of massive boulders were lifted into the air by an invisible force!
"Ace, I leave the ground command to you."
With that, the boulders soared into the sky, weaving through Enel's lightning like a meteor shower, raining down directly toward Kaido!
The Center of the Battlefield.
Blade-light and flames intertwined. Zoro roared as he cleaved through King's black wings, the sword intent and scorching fire tearing heaven and earth asunder!
On the other side, Kuina's sword shadows were like falling snow, freezing and precise, forcing Queen to roar continuously as his massive iron arms smashed the earth to pieces!
Blood clashed with fire! Steel screamed against blades!
Ace, wreathed in flames, led the Marine elites, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with Drake against the Beast Pirates' elite forces led by the four Tobi Roppo!
The two armies collided like two raging torrents, their war cries shaking the world!
The battle grew increasingly fierce. The thunder and dragon roars in the sky, the fire and blood tides on the ground—the entire Wano battlefield was pushed into an absolute purgatory!
And all of this was being broadcast live to the entire world through the Visual Den Den Mushi of the World Economic Journal!
Marineford · Execution Plaza.
BONG—! BONG—!
The heavy toll of the bell echoed through the heavens, overpowering the wind, the waves, and the racing hearts of everyone present.
Sengoku, draped in his Justice cloak, stood high upon the platform. His gaze was as cold as a blade. He threw his hand down violently, his voice piercing the entire plaza:
"PREPARE THE EXECUTION!!!"
The roar shook the world!
The eyes of the entire globe were now converged upon this very moment!
