Chapter 148 - Chapter 148: Target the World Government!

Sabaody Archipelago, inside the cabin of the Uchiha.

Heart-pounding energy fluctuations filled the air.

Tobirama looked at the stunning women before him—each utterly devoted—while more than a dozen mysterious orbs emitting three-colored light hovered in his hand.

"Open your mouths," Tobirama commanded indifferently.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hancock, Robin, Nami, Vivi… all of them parted their lips in unison, their eyes brimming with trust and fanatic resolve.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

More than a dozen top-tier seeds of the three forms of Haki shot forward like meteors, entering their mouths and instantly transforming into a warm current that surged through their limbs and into the depths of their souls!

Boom!!

In the very next second, ferocious auras erupted throughout the cabin!

Nami, once the weakest among them, snapped her eyes open. A streak of dark-red lightning flashed through her azure pupils.

Conqueror's Haki—awakened!

The surrounding tables and chairs shattered instantly under the pressure.

"This… this is Haki?"

Nami clenched her fists, feeling pitch-black Armament Haki coat her skin—harder than steel itself.

"I feel like I could blow everything away with one punch!"

On the other side, the black blade Yoru in Kuina's hand let out an excited hum.

She swung casually.

Shua!

Pitch-black Ryuo Haki wrapped around the blade, tearing open the air ahead and creating a vacuum without even making contact.

"Internal destruction… is this the Ryuo Master spoke of?"

Battle intent burned in Kuina's eyes. "With this, I could even cut down an Admiral!"

Even Kaya and Stella—who had once been ordinary people—now radiated the oppressive presence of true powerhouses, making it impossible to meet their gaze directly.

Observation Haki fully active, glimpsing the future.

Armament Haki hardened, rendering them nearly invulnerable.

Conqueror's Haki infused, dominating the entire scene!

In a single instant, the combat strength aboard the ship leaped from mortal to monstrous.

This was a Valkyrie Legion—every member wielding top-tier Haki of all three types, along with the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

"Very good."

Tobirama nodded in satisfaction as he surveyed the scene.

"This is the authority granted to me by the system."

"In this world, whoever I say is strong… is strong."

"I'll give you three days."

He rose and walked toward the captain's quarters.

"Familiarize yourselves with this power."

"In three days, I want to see you on the battlefield—slaughtering those so-called Marine elites until not a single one remains."

"Yes! Your Majesty!!"

The women answered in unison, their voices filled with a hunger for war.

It was confidence born of power—and even more so, unwavering loyalty to their King.

Three days later.

Grand Line, Tarai Current region.

This special sea zone connected Marine Headquarters, Impel Down, and Enies Lobby. Vast whirlpool currents functioned like a perpetual engine, propelling ships rapidly between the three strongholds.

Today was the day Tobirama declared the final war.

Contrary to the world's expectations, the Uchiha did not sail directly toward Marineford.

Instead, it hovered at the very center of the massive triangular whirlpool.

"Your Majesty, the Gate of Justice lies ahead," Robin reported from the bow, pointing toward the colossal gates in three directions.

"To the left is Impel Down, to the right Marineford, and behind us Enies Lobby."

"Are we heading straight to headquarters?"

Lightning crackled faintly around Robin as she spoke, her gaze sharp, long freed from her former gloom.

Tobirama stood on the deck as the sea wind howled around him, eyes fixed on the churning whirlpool and the three closed Gates of Justice.

"Go directly to headquarters?"

He shook his head, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"That would be far too boring."

"Since this is a war, we might as well be thorough."

"The so-called three major institutions of the World Government…"

Tobirama extended his hand and pressed downward toward the sea below.

"If I destroy only one, wouldn't that make me seem petty?"

Sage Art: Water Release—Current Control!

Boom!!

The torrents powerful enough to devour giant sea beasts…

Stopped.

As if time itself had been paused.

Hundreds of millions of tons of seawater were forcibly flattened, transforming the raging whirlpool into a mirror-smooth Dead Sea.

"This…"

Even the women—now vastly empowered—were left stunned.

The might of nature itself… forcibly halted by a single man?

"Let's go."

Tobirama pointed toward the island bathed in eternal daylight—Enies Lobby.

"We'll burn that fig leaf first."

"It's on the way."

Buzz!

The Uchiha carved a white streak across the sea, veering away from Marineford and charging toward Enies Lobby like an arrow loosed from the bow!

Enies Lobby, Enies Hall.

The façade of the World Government—the symbol of absolute judicial authority.

The main island was heavily fortified, with over ten thousand soldiers stationed throughout.

Inside, remaining officials and soldiers watched the giant screens nervously. Today marked the final battle, but with Marineford as the designated battlefield, most believed themselves mere spectators.

"Hahaha! That Uchiha Tobirama is as good as dead!"

"With the three Admirals assembled and the Five Elders overseeing it, he's walking straight to his grave!"

"Thankfully he didn't come here, otherwise—"

Boom!!!

An earth-shattering explosion obliterated the defenses at Enies Lobby's main gate!

The massive iron doors flew inward like scraps of paper, crushing dozens of soldiers in an instant.

"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!"

"What's going on? Where did that bombardment come from?!"

The alarms screamed.

Guards rushed to the walls in panic—

—and froze.

A scene burned itself into their memories forever.

A colossal warship, wreathed in blue lightning, wasn't sailing on the sea at all—it had smashed straight through the first Gate of Justice and flown inside!

At its bow stood a silver-haired, red-eyed man in a Hokage cloak, gazing down coldly upon this so-called holy land of justice.

"That… that's—"

"Uchiha Tobirama!"

"Why is he here?! Shouldn't he be at Marineford?!"

The remaining officer nearly collapsed in terror, his uniform instantly soaked.

"Quick! Contact headquarters! The devil has attacked!!"

But it was already too late.

Tobirama stood at the bow, giving them no chance to cry for help.

He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Begin the live broadcast."

Buzz!

The same method.

The same ruthless efficiency.

Screens across the entire world were forcibly hijacked once again.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, Kizaru, and the Seven Warlords who had just assembled—Hawkeye, Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, Jinbe, Kuma, and the rest—stood fully prepared for battle.

One hundred thousand elite Marines and fifty warships sealed off Crescent Moon Bay.

"It's noon," Sengoku said, staring at his pocket watch as cold sweat dripped down his face.

"Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

At that moment—

The massive screen in the plaza lit up.

But what appeared wasn't Marineford's sea.

It was—

Enies Lobby, engulfed in flames.

"What?!"

Sengoku's pupils constricted violently.

"He went to Enies Lobby…!"

On the live broadcast, the background was the burning Tower of Justice and soldiers screaming in despair.

Tobirama stood atop the highest courthouse in Enies Lobby.

Beneath his feet—

The flag that symbolized the World Government.
