One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Zefa,

The former admiral stood on the ice, looking up at the raging thunderclouds overhead, a cold glint in his eyes.

With the Six Styles of Martial Body activated, his arms were covered with a thick layer of Armament Haki, turning his entire arms into a deep black.

"Child's play."

Zefa stomped his foot and soared into the sky.

He gathered power behind his back, condensing Armament Haki to its limit on his fists, and then punched the thunderclouds above.

"Armed Crushing Fist—!!!"

A visible shockwave shot out from Zephyr's fist and crashed violently into the thundercloud.

Where the shockwave passed, the thunderclouds were torn apart, revealing a crack nearly a hundred meters long and more than ten meters wide.

The clouds at the edge of the crack were still trying to close up under Enel's control.

However, the residual power of Armament Haki clung to the edge of the crack, preventing the clouds from coalescing.

Below, capable naval commanders, seeing this, all followed suit.

A naval vice admiral drew his long sword, Armament Haki coiling around the blade, and a massive slash shot into the sky, cutting a gash tens of meters long through the thunderclouds overhead.

Another naval admiral gathered energy in his hands, and a shockwave blasted upwards, shattering a small patch of thunderclouds.

Several giant generals simultaneously swung their giant axes, creating a continuous gust of wind that shattered a large area of ​​thunderclouds.

Slashes, shockwaves, Devil Fruit abilities, artillery barrages—attacks rose from the ground and blasted towards the still raging thunderclouds in the sky.

The massive thundercloud that had covered the entire Marineford was blasted to pieces by the combined attack of the entire navy.

At that moment, one figure attracted more attention than anyone else.

Karp.

This naval hero has been sitting motionless on the ruins of the execution platform since the start of the war, arms crossed.

He watched Luffy punch him, watched himself get knocked away, watched the execution platform collapse, and watched Ace be rescued.

He never actually made a move because he couldn't bring himself to kill his two grandsons.

But it's different now.

The attack on Beehive Island was indiscriminate, and the one who fell was a junior naval officer he had protected for decades.

Some of the young soldiers who perished in the thunderstorm were children he had watched grow up.

Some were trained by him personally, while others were people he knew from his time at the East China Sea branch.

They are not Ace, not Luffy, not the family members he needs to agonize over.

Garp rose from the ruins.

He stood at the edge of the ruins, looking down at the battlefield strewn with corpses and at the remaining thunderclouds in the sky that were still releasing lightning.

His face was expressionless, but his fists were clenched.

Armament Haki condensed on his fist, its color as deep as a black hole.

Then Conqueror's Haki enveloped it as well—

Dark red arcs of electricity danced on the Armament Haki, intertwining with the black of the Armament Haki to form a strange black and red pattern.

The space around the fist began to distort and deform due to the fusion of these two forces.

"Galactic Impact—!!!"

Garp unleashed a punch.

That punch was far more powerful than Zephyr's Iron Fist.

A massive shockwave shot out from Garp's fist, carrying arcs of black and red electricity crackling with Conqueror's Haki, hurtling towards the sky with earth-shattering force.

Wherever the shockwave passed, the remaining thunderclouds were directly evaporated, leaving not a trace of cloud behind.

The shockwave continued upward, penetrating layers of air and blasting a huge hole hundreds of meters in diameter in the sky.

The thunderclouds that enveloped Marineford were torn in two by this punch.

"Feeding—this is way too much!"

Tesoro, who had merged into the thundercloud, sensed the shockwave carrying the power of the swaying dragon hurtling toward him, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Although he transformed into lightning and was immune to ordinary attacks, even when those naval officers used Armament Haki in their attacks...

He can also use his superior Observation Haki to evade attacks in advance.

But Garp's punch was different.

That was a wide-range attack entangled with Conqueror's Haki, covering an area so large that his lightning elemental form couldn't dodge it at all.

Conqueror's Haki has a natural restraining effect on Logia-type Devil Fruit users, and when combined with Armament Haki...

If that punch lands, given his current elemental state, he'll be badly injured, if not seriously hurt.

Just before the shockwave was about to hit the thundercloud, a golden bolt of lightning shot out from it.

Instantly, we returned to the deck of the Ark's Proverbs.

Lightning coalesced into a human form, and Tesoro reappeared.

"Boss, that old man is too fierce, I can't handle him."

Roy glanced at him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"That's enough. You've done enough."

With Tesoro's retreat, the thunderclouds in the sky completely spiraled out of control.

After Garp's punch tore apart the largest thundercloud, the remaining Marine admirals continued their attack, blasting away the remaining thunderclouds one by one.

The sunlight, which had been obscured by thunderclouds for so long, finally shone again on Marineford Square.

The sun was warm, but the scene in the square silenced everyone.

Marineford is completely unrecognizable.

The once majestic Naval Headquarters building is now riddled with cracks and scorch marks, and the plaza in front of it is filled with charred bomb craters and shattered ice fissures.

The wreckage of the warships floated in the harbor; some were still burning, while others had sunk halfway, with only the masts visible above the water.

Countless corpses lay scattered across the ice, the white uniforms of the navy and the mottled clothes of the pirates mixed together, creating a mottled pattern on the scorched ice.

The surviving naval soldiers emerged from under the ice shield, crawled out of the building ruins, and climbed out of the ice crevices.

They looked at the headquarters that had been destroyed beyond recognition, some with angry expressions, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Some wept uncontrollably, kneeling beside their companions' corpses and wailing.

Some stood there blankly, as if their souls had been emptied.

This is the Naval Headquarters, a symbol of justice.

It has never been damaged to this extent since it was built.

And all of this is just the opening act for Beehive Island's debut.

.................................................................................

As the thunderclouds were dispersed, the marine encirclement surrounding Luffy and Ace was also broken up.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the thunderbolts, the group finally managed to escape from the massive encirclement.

Although Luffy was exhausted, he still grinned when he saw the large ship in the sky and said to Ace:

"It's Roy!"

Ace nodded; he could sense a powerful and familiar aura emanating from that direction.

On the hill behind Windmill Village, there lives the man who told him and Luffy about the outside world and taught them the basics of Haki.

The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates reacted quickly as well.

They had been trying to break through the defensive line organized by Zefa on the outside.

But with Sengoku's orders issued and the terrifying thunderstorm sweeping the land, Zephyr had no time to attend to them.
