Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Sakura Dragon, you bastard..."

Crocodile's roar suddenly resounded, and a raging torrent of sand surged into the sky from within the Hades's giant ship. Crocodile's figure appeared at the very forefront of the sand wave, his eyes fixed on Yann with eyes so full of rage they were almost bleeding.

"You actually destroyed Hades, you damned bastard, die!"

However, before Crocodile could reach Yann, Mihawk, Kuma, Moria, and Gion attacked together.

"boom!!!"

In the ocean environment, the Sand-Sand Fruit has lost its greatest advantage of terrain, not to mention that Crocodile is facing four strong individuals whose combat power is in no way inferior to his, and even much stronger than him.

Crocodile barely held on for a few breaths before being pierced through the chest by Gion Shunran's sword.

"Bastard... bastard..."

Until the very last moment, Crocodile's eyes slowly turned, then stared intently at Yann, who seemed within reach above him, at the man who had utterly destroyed his dream that was within his grasp.

Throughout the entire process, Yann's gaze remained calm, and he did not make the slightest move, as if he were a weak person who was too exhausted to fight back, or as an observer watching the clown's final farce.

"That... look..."

Just as Crocodile felt his consciousness fading, he suddenly recalled another pair of eyes that were just as calm at the same time, the eyes of the swordsman Yasuo, whom he remembered as both foolish and fearless in the face of death.

Then, the two pairs of eyes slowly merged in Crocodile's mind.

Consistent?!

Crocodile's eyelids, which had been drooping, widened instantly, and his last bit of consciousness keenly perceived the truth.

Yasuo... that bastard Sakura Dragon...

This guy's purpose in appearing in the Kingdom of Alabasta is definitely not that simple.

Hades?

Enel?

Has Lao Tzu been manipulated by him all along?

"puff……"

As Gion pulled the "Kinpira" sword from behind Crocodile's chest, it seemed to drain all of Crocodile's remaining strength in one go, and darkness enveloped Crocodile's consciousness from all directions.

Even so, Crocodile's blood-stained mouth suddenly opened, attempting to retaliate against Yann, and roared.

"You bastard, you're such a..."

In that very instant!

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, engulfing Crocodile. The deafening thunder drowned out any sounds behind Crocodile and completely extinguished his last vestiges of life.

As the electric arc slowly dissipated, Enel's figure appeared in the sky, his dead fish eyes looking down at everyone below with incomparably arrogant eyes.

Gion immediately became alert, and the other powerful figures, such as Mihawk, Kuma, and Moria, also showed some seriousness.

After all, the power of that lightning bolt was extremely exaggerated. Crocodile's body withstood the attack, and his entire body was almost completely charred.

Gion, who had personally fought Enel, was very clear about how terrifying this man who called himself "God" was.

That was a terrifying man with combat power close to, or even equal to, that of an admiral, the "strongest fighting force in the navy."

"You bastard, do you want to continue the war with the Navy?"

Having fought to this point and nearing her limit, Gion shouted sharply while secretly moving towards Aon, wary of Enel attacking the now exhausted Aon.

Enel glanced at Gion, his lightning crackling slightly, and spoke.

"Those who offend the gods must be punished by the gods in the end."

[Chapter 363 is finished...]

"so……"

The next moment, Enel raised his hand again, and terrifying lightning suddenly erupted, completely blasting Crocodile's corpse into ashes.

Seeing this scene, not only Gion and the others, but even Aon was somewhat taken aback.

How could someone be so vengeful?

Although Enel's appearance was arranged by Yann, Yann didn't believe that Enel's behavior towards Crocodile was not mixed with personal grudges.

Immediately, Enel, with an arrogant expression, ignored everyone else and stared at the Ancient Weapon Hades with obvious annoyance in his eyes.

"And this damned warship, how dare it harm my body."

Thunder began to surge in a wide area centered on Enel.

"What is this madman trying to do?" Gion asked, frowning as she looked at the increasingly dazzling lightning in the sky.

"Oh no, that seems to be an indiscriminate attack, dodge..."

Just as Yann's warning sounded, countless bolts of lightning erupted from Enel's body, wildly and chaotically bursting out in all directions, with a large amount of lightning falling into the sea.

The terrifying voltage conducted through the sea surface, almost instantly decomposing a large amount of seawater into oxygen and hydrogen, producing a series of flashes and explosions.

In just a few breaths, a huge whirlpool filled with fire and lightning appeared on the sea surface centered on the Hades ship under the full force of Enel's thunder.

Even with the sheer size of the Hades ship, it gradually began to tilt under the influence of this whirlpool, causing a large amount of seawater to flood into the hole that Arn had previously blasted open.

This colossal warship, known for its ability to destroy the world, began to...sink.

"Run! This guy really is a madman..."

Gion said something, then leaped up, ignoring the countless bolts of lightning that continuously erupted around Enel, grabbing Aon in mid-air, and then using "Moonwalk" to retreat towards the naval warship not far away.

While dodging the relentless bolts of lightning, Mihawk and Moria couldn't help but complain a little.

"What a boring ending. Hades was ruined just like that."

"I originally wanted to use Crocodile's corpse to make a zombie, but I didn't expect it to be blasted into ashes in an instant."

Mihawk then put the "Supreme Grade Swords Twelve - Black Blade Night" back on his back, his gaze fixed on Arn with a hint of fighting spirit.

"That last strike was truly exquisite, but this guy seems completely exhausted. Let's challenge him to a duel later..."

Then, Mihawk withdrew his burning gaze and said, "Alright, Bear, send me away. Also, don't forget the deal you agreed to."

"it is good."

The bear nodded and, using the power of the "Paw-Paw Fruit," directly sent Mihawk to this area of ​​the sea.

"Hehehe, well then I'm off too, otherwise these marines might turn on me later," Moria said.

Finally, after sending Moria away from the area, the bear patted himself and disappeared from the spot as well.

Enel showed no intention of stopping Gion, Aon, and the rest of Mihawk from leaving; he simply continued to bombard the Hades behemoth with absolutely violent lightning.

As Gion helped Aon back to the nearest naval warship, the enormous Hades ship had already sunk by half.

At this point, the sinking of the Pluto ship is an irreversible fact. Unless Kuzan, the user of the "Ice-Ice Fruit," appears here and forcibly freezes the sea, this Pluto ship will forever remain at the bottom of the sea.

"it's over……"

A hint of weariness appeared on his face as he murmured to himself.

Gion turned her gaze to the man she was supporting beside her, took a deep breath, and said with a touch of emotion.

"Yes, it's over."

At this moment, these words were not only spoken by Yann and Gion, but also by countless people who witnessed the sinking of the Hades ship.

That disaster, which could have claimed countless lives and ravaged vast oceans, ended prematurely, and that Pluto's colossal ship, which could have threatened the world, will now lie in eternal slumber.

"it's over……"

Meanwhile, within the Pluto's colossal ship surrounded by countless bolts of lightning, the previously unnoticed King Cobra appeared, gazing at the surrounding lightning and muttering a phrase, also awaiting his final fate.

"Perhaps this is the ultimate fate of the Nefertari family, to be completely buried in the sea along with Hades."

"The promise made by our ancestors eight hundred years ago has ultimately failed to be fulfilled."

"But this is for the best. The heavy mission of protecting Hades has finally come to an end..."

The seawater, surging with flames and flashing with electric arcs, gradually spread from all directions.

King Cobra, however, showed no intention of making a move, quietly waiting for the final moment to arrive.

However, at that moment...

A large shadow suddenly enveloped King Cobra, instantly covering him completely as he contemplated life, and then transformed into a sphere several meters tall.

The next moment, the Hades ship sank completely, and the sphere also fell into the sea.

Meanwhile, beneath the sea, in a place untouched by the lightning, a strangely shaped small boat floated, with two distinctly different fish-men, one red and one blue, seemingly waiting for something.

"What a spectacular sight, Tiger, Boss." Jinbe, the "whale shark man" with blue skin, looked up at the terrifying phenomenon above and exclaimed in amazement.

Tiger, with his striking red skin, pounded his chest and said, "Of course, without this level of skill, how could we possibly attract the attention of Hueco Mundo?"

Upon hearing this, Jinbe asked in surprise, "Boss Tiger, was this mission personally ordered by the legendary Lord of Hueco Mundo?"

"Of course...no."

Tiger spoke with a rather self-righteous tone.

"However, this was a task that Mr. Corazon personally contacted me for, claiming that if I could complete it successfully, the day when I officially joined Hueco Mundo should not be far off."

"So, does that mean Tiger will also be able to possess that terrifying power bestowed by the Lord of Hueco Mundo?" Jinbe asked with a fiery glint in his eyes.

"Ah, yes, then perhaps I will have enough power to protect the entire fish-man race, and I won't have to keep leading you all to hide and run away. Instead, I can live openly as a king like Mr. Corazon."

Tiger's voice was full of anticipation for the future.

[Chapter 364 The King of the Underworld's 'Brain']

On the sea surface, the aftershocks of the Pluto behemoth, comparable in size to an island, sinking into the ocean were quite astonishing, even causing the whirlpool to continue expanding, frantically swallowing up anything that came near.

"Quickly, back up..."

Under Gion's command, the naval warships retreated another ten miles before the terrifying pulling force gradually disappeared.

However, from then on, the Pluto behemoth's pitch-black hull, which had once terrified countless naval personnel, completely disappeared from the sea.

All that remains is the unique blue of the ocean.

"The war really did end in this way."
