Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

The black and red lightning bolts on Shen Jue's chest suddenly condensed!

The Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, compressed to their absolute limit, swirled and merged on Shen Jue's chest!

Waves of air emanated from him, causing the frosted earth below to crack and the glass of distant buildings to shatter!

boom!!!

A black and red beam of light burst forth from his chest!

That wasn't just a simple shockwave; it was a materialized attack formed by the fusion of Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki to their limits!

A thick, black and red beam of light, tens of meters long, shot upwards and slammed directly into Charlotte Linlin!

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Charlotte Linlin let out a beast-like roar!

Her arms were crossed in front of her chest, her Armament Haki hardened to its limit, and her Conqueror's Haki swirled wildly around her, causing her steel-balloon-like body to expand to its limit!

She's struggling!

She's resisting!

She is one of the Four Emperors! She is the Empress of the Seas! She is a monster who destroyed a giant village at the age of five!

"I can't just die here!!"

She roared!

Then, she began to shatter, like porcelain being struck by a hammer.

Armament Haki hardened skin cracks, muscles rip, and bones shatter!

The black and red beam of light swept across her arms, her chest, and every inch of the flesh and blood in her massive body, which was known as a steel balloon!

"No!!!"

That was Katakuri's hoarse shout.

He saw it!

He had already foreseen this scene using his Observation Haki, which allows him to see into the future!

But he can't move!

His legs felt like they were made of lead, and his body trembled instinctively!

That man! That monstrous man rendered him completely immobile!

Shen Jue's Phantom Breath Technique - Gravity Manipulation controlled everyone present!

Charlotte Linlin's body began to disintegrate within the pillar of light.

Burning skin!

Muscle vaporization!

The bones turned to dust!

Her enormous, invincible physique, which had ruled this sea area for decades, completely collapsed within the black and red pillar of light.

Like ice cream melted by the sun's core!

"Mom!!" Cracker knelt down.

Charlotte Linlin's last figure struggled for a moment within the pillar of light.

Then she vanished into thin air.

Boom!!!

The beam of light continued its momentum even after piercing Charlotte Linlin!

It blasted through the thick thunderclouds above Whole Cake Island!

It blasted through the troposphere!

It blasted through the stratosphere!

The entire sky was torn apart!

The thick clouds at an altitude of 10,000 meters were split open, revealing a straight and wide azure crack!

Sunlight streamed through the cracks, illuminating the cake island!

The clouds in the One Piece world were styled into a middle part by Shen Jue!

Everyone in the surrounding thousands of miles of sea witnessed this scene!

The black and red pillar of light that pierced the sky slowly dissipated.

What remains is a torn sky and a gap in the clouds that is slowly closing.

The sunlight shone down.

The light shone on Shen Jue.

He hovered in mid-air, looking down at his free hand.

There, only a few strands of Charlotte Linlin's hair remained.

"ah."

Shen Jue frowned.

"The force seemed a little too strong."

He let go.

Those few strands of hair drifted in the wind and fell onto the shattered ground below.

silence.

The entire Cake Island was deathly silent.

Not far from Shen Jue's feet, Smoker's cigar fell to the ground, but he didn't notice.

Hina's hand rested on the hilt of the sword, her whole body trembling.

That was the instinctive reaction of a strong person after encountering unimaginable power.

Drake's Adam's apple bobbed.

They knew Shen Jue was very strong; they had always known.

But they never imagined that Shen Jue would be this strong!

It was stronger than anyone could have imagined!

Could even the ancient sea gods really do such a thing?

"Isn't this a bit... outrageous?" Smoker finally found his voice and said hoarsely.

"Brother Shen Jue, if this continues, we useless guys will..."

"How can I help you?" Drake murmured to himself, his face filled with shock.

No one answered him.

Because everyone is still processing what they just witnessed.

Shen Jue slowly descended.

He landed on the remaining ground of Cake Island, where the frosted ground beneath his feet had completely melted and hardened back into solid blocks after the battle.

Katakuri stood twenty meters in front of him.

This pirate, the leader of the three generals and with a bounty of over one billion, now stood like a stone statue.

He saw the future.

He saw countless possible futures.

In every possible future, Shen Jue crushed them all like an ant.

There is no chance of winning.

The chances of the Big Mom Pirates defeating Shen Jue are not just slim, they are absolutely zero.

Zero was absolutely, utterly despairing to the point that Katakuri didn't even have a shred of thought to resist.

Katakuri's knees bent.

He knelt down again.

The scarf did not conceal his face, nor did it muffle the words that escaped his throat: "We really surrender."

"I only ask that you forgive my siblings; they were never pirates."

Cracker slumped to the side, his eyes vacant.

Katakuri lowered his head.

His forehead pressed against the melted and then hardened, charred ground.

"Please spare my younger siblings."

His voice was trembling.

Katakuri was terrified, but he had to say those words.

Shen Jue glanced at him.

Then look around.

A shattered island, kneeling pirates, a torn sky, and warships still rocking on the distant sea.

Shen Jue lifted his foot and stepped on a piece of charred gravel.

"From this day forward, all nations cease to exist."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried throughout the entire island.

"Members of the Whole Cake Island Pirates must be tried, and their fate, depending on the severity of their crimes, will be decided whether they will be assigned to labor camps."

"Those who are unwilling to surrender or want to resist."

"I still have time to destroy your bodies and souls."

No one moved.

Not a single pirate dared to make a move.

Katakuri's forehead remained pressed against the ground.

"Thank you for your kindness."

His voice was muffled, as if it were in the earth.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the torn clouds, illuminating this territory that once belonged to the Four Emperors.

The light also shone on Shen Jue's tall and straight back.

Bai Xing stood in the distance, supporting her massive body with her hands, tears glistening in her eyes.

Shen Jue looked up at the cloud crack that was slowly closing.

"The power is indeed a bit too great," Shen Jue muttered to himself.

"I really need to be more careful next time."

"If they get carried away playing..."

"If that shot hit the ground, that would be terrible."

Hina, standing behind him, finally couldn't help but ask, "So, Brother Shen Jue, you weren't even using your full strength just now?"

Shen Jue turned and glanced at her, his expression one of complete nonchalance: "You're still here, so I have to take your presence into account."

"If I go all out, this sea area of ​​the New World will be in danger."

Hina shut her mouth.

Smoker swallowed hard.

Upon hearing this, Cracker, who was some distance away, finally succumbed to the immense pressure and fainted completely.

Katakuri knelt on the ground and closed his eyes.
