One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable, pure white energy shockwave spread out from the two of them!

Wherever the shockwave passed, the earth, buildings, and everything tangible was instantly leveled to the ground by the pure force of the collision!

On the distant battlefield, Aokiji, Kizaru, Akainu, and the others who were "cleaning up" the grunts subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked at the two monsters fighting over "food" with a "I knew it" look.

Aokiji Kuzan was yawning listlessly when he casually waved his hand, freezing dozens of Arrancar who rushed up, along with their Cero, into crystal-clear ice sculptures.

"Oh dear, here we go again. Honestly, Lingling has no idea how to share at all."

Kizaru Borsalino, while conjuring the "Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi" with his fingers and piercing through the formidable Adjuchas-class Hollows one by one like a skewer of candied hawthorns, lazily remarked in his signature lewd tone:

"Oh my, how scary! Old man with the white beard seems really angry. But, Big Mom's obsession with sweets, fighting with her companions, is what's truly terrifying."

Only after Akainu Sakazuki used "Meteor Volcano" to turn a large area of ​​the sky into a lava hell, burning countless members of the Gilgamesh Security Forces to ashes, did he let out a cold snort.

"Two bored lunatics."

His body, healed by the Senzu Bean and even stronger than before, was boiling with an obsession with "justice," and... absolute awe and loyalty to the little demon king who had pulled him back from the brink of death and granted him even greater power.

At the heart of this catastrophe-level internal strife, Halibel, who had narrowly escaped death, was thrown to an unknown distance by the residual force of the terrifying shockwave.

She crashed heavily into the ruins, her bones feeling like they were about to fall apart. She could no longer maintain her Resurrección form and reverted to her original appearance.

She lay amidst the cold rubble, staring blankly at the two monsters in the sky, their battle for her causing the heavens and earth to shatter. At that moment, her proud heart, belonging to the queen, was completely filled with an unprecedented sense of absurdity.

original……

Don't I even deserve to be seriously killed as an enemy?

What they saw as a battle they risked their lives for was nothing more than a pointless argument over the ownership of dessert.

puff.

A mouthful of blood spurted from Heribel's mouth.

That wasn't an injury, but... pride shattered by utter absurdity and humiliation.

Her vision began to blur.

Consciousness, too, began to sink into endless darkness.

Maybe... it wouldn't be so bad if it ended like this.

At least, I no longer have to face this absurd world that has completely collapsed.

However, at the very last moment before her consciousness completely dissipated.

An aura.

An indescribable, decaying, deathly, and icy aura, seemingly capable of making time itself weep and the very concept of life wither, a terrifying aura of absolute dominance, slowly emanated from the "Black Cavity," the pitch-black rift that had never been closed, connecting Hueco Mundo and the mortal world.

That aura appeared the moment it appeared.

In the sky, the two monsters that were fighting fiercely suddenly stopped moving.

On the ground, the lazy, lewd, and cold expressions on the faces of the three naval admirals, who were each displaying their divine power like gods descending to earth, froze instantly.

Amidst the ruins, as Heribel was about to fall into a coma, her unfocused pupils suddenly contracted. An absolute submission and awe, originating from the deepest part of her blood, forced her to maintain the last shred of clarity.
