I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

A vast, blazing white beam of light descended from the sky, like a dazzling giant sword over ten thousand meters long, piercing straight into the human world from the depths of the heavens.

Even the dense darkness surrounding Sig melted away rapidly in the face of this extremely hot pillar of light, like snow melting in spring.

"Is this the fate of those who possess the Dark-Dark Fruit?"

Such a thought flashed through Sieg's mind.

Although he had wanted to die for a long time, this ending...

He doesn't want it.

The beam of light before them was extremely powerful and covered a vast area. As far as the eye could see, there was endless light, almost like the sun, making it nearly impossible to open one's eyes.

In Sig’s estimation, such a powerful attack could potentially destroy the entire island.

The planet Chibaku Tensei is very large, but it may not be able to save Roger and Garp, who are already seriously injured.

Even the navy and pirates who have already escaped the Valley of the Gods and reached the outskirts of the island may not be able to escape this level of impact.

"Isn't Rocks' power enough?"

"Then, let's add Wang Xige's power as well."

Sig looked up and squinted at the sky, while I raised my hands high. The darkness surrounding us, thick as ink at that moment, then parted to the left and right.

To the right lies the deepest, densest darkness, where a vortex unleashes an immense suction force.

On the left is a chuunibyou flame born from fantasy, burning fiercely in pitch-black flames.

Dark Flame Master, Stage Two!

During his previous battle with Roger, Sigurd used Rocks' abilities almost the entire time.

The chuunibyou energy was almost unused, remaining at full capacity.

But now, both the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the flames born from chuunibyou energy are being unleashed without reservation.

One on the left and one on the right, they merged into two deep, black torrents that surged into the sky!

"Will the most powerful demon king, Rocks, who sought to seize the world and utterly destroy God Valley, save God Valley?"

Sig narrowed his eyes.

In his vision, light and darkness collided and intersected in the air.

There was no loud roaring sound.

The deep black hole on the right seems to suck in endless light and sound.

The pitch-black flames on the left melted away along with the descending pillar of light.

.........

A dazzling pillar of light descended from the sky, like a divine sword piercing the earth from the deepest part of the clouds.

At this moment, the navy and pirates who had already escaped to the edge of the island all changed their expressions drastically, their eyes almost blinded by the light.

Sengoku in the Navy and Rayleigh in the pirate group changed their expressions. They quickly went against the current and rushed towards the center of the light pillar's descent.

Where the beam of light landed, a dazzling, enormous fireball suddenly expanded and erupted violently.

The massive, mountain-sized planet was instantly vaporized amidst the boundless light and heat, turning into dust.

A giant column of dust shot into the sky from the center of the Valley of the Gods, followed by a tsunami-like wave of smoke and dust that swept in all directions, causing the entire island to tremble violently!

Roger and Garp, who were seriously injured, were hit by the weakened shockwave and were sent flying.

"Airquake!"

Whitebeard planted his naginata in the ground, his arm muscles bulged, and he slammed his fist into the air in front of him. A terrifying seismic wave spread rapidly through the air and collided head-on with the shockwave caused by the beam of light.

"Whitebeard is still so naive..."

The golden lion floated in the air and flew away at an extremely fast speed.

In the air beside him, Kaido transformed into a dragon and rode the clouds, Big Mom rode on thunderclouds and Zeus flew away at high speed, and no one could hear the footsteps like Whitebeard.

Whether they were pirates or marines, after a series of fierce battles, most of them had little strength left. Apart from a very few who stepped in to resist the shockwaves, the rest were all fleeing at full speed.

Rumble!

The terrifying shockwaves spread rapidly across the island, causing the ocean surrounding God Valley to churn violently, with towering waves crashing and shattering against each other.

After the dust and waves have settled.

The pirates, who had already boarded the pirate ship, looked back and saw a scene they would never forget.

The original God Valley Island has almost completely disappeared, leaving only a ring of earthen hills surrounding the island, with a bottomless abyss in the middle.

........

Beneath the abyss.

Sig raised his head, panting, his heart pounding, echoing in the hundreds of meters of abyss.

His entire body was covered in burn marks, and his life force had dwindled to rock bottom. He was using the power of the Dark Fruit to forcibly close his wounds.

"A technique that even Rocks himself didn't develop, it's really useful..."

"I survived, but it really hurt..."

"It's the last minute..."

Sig looked exhausted and muttered to himself.

He opened his inventory and, in that final minute, placed Lox's body in the abyss.

"By the way, Lox's wound is also a problem."

On the nameless island, Rocks suffered two major wounds.

First, the sword and wine given to him by Vegapunk nearly cut his body in two.

One was a piercing wound from Dracula's Noble Phantasm, the Spear of Death, which pierced through his abdomen.

Sigurd raised his head and used the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to forcibly close up the wounds on Rocks' corpse.

As his consciousness began to fade, Sig used up his last remaining strength, and his aura weakened to the extreme.

"It's finally over."

Sig closed his eyes, but a dry laugh tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"hehe."

"From this moment on, let your true self feel this pain."

When Rocks' power completely faded.

Pong!

His body turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the abyss.

.........

The edge of the abyss.

Panting, Garp and Roger stood up again.

The two men, covered in blood, looked at each other, a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Did we win?

The aura of Lox has completely vanished.

They won the battle by working together.

But no one felt any excitement of victory or joy of surviving a calamity.

"Garp!"

Roger!

Sengoku and Rayleigh came from two different directions.

"Lox is dead."

Further away, Whitebeard stood watching Garp and Roger from a distance, without approaching.

At this moment, he felt complicated as he looked at the abyss-like giant pit before him.

That attack that just came down from the sky was incredibly powerful. If Rocks hadn't blocked some of the force, it probably would have destroyed the entire island. Not to mention the heavily injured Roger and Garp, even Whitebeard wouldn't have been 100% sure he'd survive.

Even now... this island is not far from collapse.

"You, who wanted to destroy God Valley and kidnap the Celestial Dragons, actually saved us?"

"This is really unlike you, Rocks," Whitebeard muttered to himself.

"Or rather, are you unwilling to be annihilated by such a force without any resistance?"

But after saying that, he suddenly turned around and looked at the person next to him with a look of surprise.

From the moment he started, Dracula's whole body trembled violently, his face turned pale, and he was almost unable to stand up, as if he were having a serious attack.

Dracula did not appear out of nowhere.

While Rocks was engaged in a fierce battle with Roger Garp, using Conqueror's Haki to clear the area, Dracula appeared beside Whitebeard.

Because Whitebeard was fighting Rayleigh at the time, he was surprised by Dracula's appearance but didn't have the energy to ask any more questions.

"Dracula, are you alright?" Whitebeard asked in surprise.

After learning of Rocks' death, Dracula acted strangely...

Is it because he has avenged his great enemy and is excited to see the person who killed Wang Xige dead?

"It's nothing... I'm just hungry and want to eat meat."

Sig answered with narrowed eyes.

Previously, he was worried about the possession card of Rocks and was still suffering from a wound in his anus, so he planned to have a shadow clone test the waters.

He himself, disguised as Dracula, infiltrated God Valley, the safest place—near Whitebeard.

After the shadow clone disappeared, Sig quickly reviewed the pain the shadow clone had experienced throughout the entire battle...

Before the shadow clone was created, it could still use its superb acting skills to endure the excruciating pain and keep its expression normal.
