The heavy oak gates of the palace weren't simply smashed open; rather, they were shattered into countless fragments by a gigantic, armored fist, along with the surrounding walls. As the rubble rained down, a figure strode in with thunderous steps.

It was so tall, almost touching the dome of the palace hall. Beneath its rough, green skin were bulging muscles, and its intense aura stirred up a blood-stained wind. Its scarlet eyes, like burning embers, were fixed on Crocodile. Its mere presence made the elites of Baroque Works feel breathless.

"WAAAGH!!!"

The battle cry wasn't uttered by a single person, but rather a tangible sonic wave formed by the combined roar of the surging green-skinned army behind it and Crocodile itself. Crocodile felt the ground beneath its feet tremble and the air shake.

"A monster who doesn't know its own mortality." Crocodile suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and his right arm instantly turned into sand. "Desert Diamond Blade!"

A sand blade, sharp enough to cleave rock, whistled as it slashed towards the massive green-skinned captain. However, the green-skinned creature didn't even attempt to block. When the sand blade was still a meter away from its body, a dense, almost tangible, green force field appeared out of thin air. The sand blade struck it, and like waves crashing against a cliff, it instantly disintegrated into harmless sand grains that fell down in a soft rustling sound.

"What?!" Crocodile's calm mask shattered for the first time.

The green-skinned captain, whose stature resembled a giant, grinned, revealing dagger-like fangs: "Sand? Boring! But... it's mine!"

With a single, massive stride, it covered dozens of meters in an instant, its speed completely disproportionate to its size, as its massive, armor-clad claws came slashing straight at you.

Crocodile immediately elementalized, his body turning into sand and attempting to disperse. But the next moment, he felt an unprecedented stagnation! The green force field was not only incredibly defensive, but it also seemed to imprison space, making his Logia-type elementalization ability extremely difficult!

"Pfft!" The sharp claws tore apart part of the body that was not yet completely sandy, bringing out a large clump of blood and a small piece of flesh.

Crocodile crashed through several walls, a sharp pain shooting through his waist. He looked down in disbelief and saw a deep wound.

"You little sand shrimp, you've got some skills!" The green-skinned captain was slightly surprised; the other party was stronger than he had anticipated.

"Boss!" Mr. 1 exclaimed, his bladed arm slashing at another charging green-skinned elite. The elite neither dodged nor evaded, using his thick arm covered in a green force field to meet the blade head-on!

Clang! Sparks fly!

Mr. 1 felt as if he had struck the hardest steel in the world; the recoil made his arm go numb. The green-skinned elite, however, only had a white mark on his arm and excitedly grabbed Mr. 1's blade: "Iron block? Fun! It's mine!"

The other claw roughly tore off Mr. 1's arm, taking away a piece of flesh and a blood sample, and stuffing it into the device at his waist.

Chaos! Utter chaos!

The ballet troupe's blades couldn't penetrate the rough force field of the lowest-ranking green-skinned boy; the transvestite's punches were like tickling; and the thorns could only stir up insignificant ripples in the force field.

Meanwhile, the greenskins efficiently and cruelly tore apart each ability user, plundering their flesh and blood, forcibly incorporating their bloodline factors into the WAAAGH force field network, and rapidly expressing them.

Their strength, speed, and even size increased at an illogical rate during battles and roars! The WAAAGH force field grew stronger with their excitement and victories, creating a devastating positive feedback loop.

This is not a fight.

Meanwhile, outside Albana, the Straw Hat Pirates had just arrived and were speechless with shock at the sight before them.

The once magnificent city walls have been reduced to ruins, and a green tide has submerged everything.

The enormous, over fifteen-meter-tall "Ancient Green Skins" were like mobile fortresses; each swing could flatten a block. Their roar was like thunder, leading the entire WAAAGH! wave. A mind-numbing buzz and battle cries filled the air.

"What...what is that?!" Usopp's teeth chattered, and his body trembled so much that he could barely stand.

Chopper was so frightened that he curled up in his beast form and whimpered.

Zoro had already drawn his three swords, but cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his beast-like instincts were frantically warning him: He couldn't fight them head-on! He would die!

Sanji's hand trembled slightly as he lit his cigarette: "Are you kidding me... this monster..."

Nami and Vivi were deathly pale, barely able to think.

"Hey! You big green guys!" Luffy pulled his straw hat down low, his face devoid of its usual playful smile, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and anger. "Did you guys destroy this place?!"

His roar attracted the attention of a small squad of greenskins.

"Oh? A newbie! Looks like he's got some potential!" A green-skinned kid carrying a huge, crude gun excitedly turned the muzzle around.

It wasn't a bullet, but a distorted ball of energy moving at incredible speed!

Luffy dodged using his fighting instincts, and the ground where he was standing was blasted into a molten crater.

"Gum-Gum-Pistol!" Luffy's arm suddenly stretched out, and his fist slammed towards the green-skinned archer.

The fist landed squarely. But the green-skinned boy only jerked his neck back, spat out a mouthful of green saliva, and had only a slight red mark on his neck.

"What the hell? Are you trying to tickle me?" the green-skinned kid mocked, raising his gun again.

"Three-Sword Style: Demon Slash!" Zoro instantly arrived, his three swords flashing with cold light, his target another green-skinned creature lunging at Nami.

Sparks flew! The green-skinned man had withstood Zoro's slash with a rough iron rod! The force field shimmered on the iron rod.

"A knife? I can use one too!" The green-skinned man grinned maliciously, drawing a huge, serrated cleaver from behind his back with his other hand. Although his technique was completely haphazard, his terrifying strength and speed, along with the suffocating green force field, forced Zoro back with a powerful slash, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack inch by inch!

Sanji's kick landed on a green-skinned man, feeling like he'd hit a battering ram. The man didn't budge, and then threw a punch back, the resulting gust of wind making Sanji's skin sting!

"Bloom!" Nico Robin, who had somehow ended up with the Straw Hat Pirates, tried to restrain a green-skinned creature, but her arm, which had just formed, instantly collapsed and dissipated under the intense WAAAGH force field! The force field was strongly repelling and disintegrating her abilities!

"My abilities... are almost ineffective!"

Complete despair.

All of the Straw Hat crew's attacks, whether physical or supernatural, couldn't budge these green war machines in the slightest. And the enemy hadn't even used the Devil Fruit powers they had just stolen.

A green-skinned elite noticed Luffy's unique rubber ability, and a greedy glint flashed in his scarlet eyes: "That can stretch! Fun! For the boss!"

It charged at Luffy with incredible speed, leaving afterimages as its claws aimed straight for Luffy's chest, intending to tear flesh from his body!

Luffy jumped backward with all his might, but the sharp claws still tore through his armor, leaving three bloody gashes on his chest!

"Luffy!" Chopper exclaimed.

Zoro and Sanji desperately tried to return to help, but they were entangled by more Greenskins and could hardly protect themselves. In an instant, both of them were injured.

The footsteps of the ancient green-skinned figure approached like an earthquake, casting a shadow that enveloped the entire Straw Hat crew. The warlord, having finished dealing with the resistance within the palace, dragged Crocodile, who looked like a dead dog, out and tossed the Shichibukai to the ground like trash, his gaze fixed on Luffy.

"Rubber? Interesting! This ability is WAAAGH at first glance!"

Faced with an absolute disparity in power, any courage and will seem pale in comparison.

Nami looked at Luffy, covered in blood and still trying to get up, at Zoro and Sanji struggling to stay afloat, and at Usopp and Chopper, who were terrified to the extreme. She cried out in despair, "Run! Luffy! Everyone, run! We'll die!"

This time, there was no miracle.

Faced with the all-consuming WAAAGH, the future Pirate King and his crew suffered the most utter defeat of their lives. The only way to survive was to flee.

Chapter 212 One Piece 40K: The Defeat of the Straw Hat Crew

Nami's desperate cries were like a leaf thrown into a storm, instantly swallowed up by the deafening roar of WAAAGH.

Escape is merely a theoretical fantasy.

"Gum-Gum—Battle Axe!" Luffy leaped up with his last bit of strength, slamming his leg into the approaching green-skinned ankle. This was a strike imbued with all his anger and resentment.

After the muffled thud, the ancient green-skinned creature didn't even falter for a moment; its ankles, covered in force fields and metal, didn't even leave a scratch. The enormous creature didn't even glance down, simply raising its other foot and stomping it down on Luffy as if crushing an ant!

"Luffy!" Zoro's eyes widened in fury as he tried to rush forward, but a green-skinned boy used brute force far exceeding his strength to hold him down. When his blade struck the boy's skin, which was covered by a force field, it could only scatter weak sparks.

Sanji's kick was blocked by another green-skinned elite with one hand. With a backhand squeeze, a piercing sound of bones cracking rang out, and Sanji screamed as his lower leg twisted unnaturally.

A massive shadow completely enveloped Luffy. He tried to dodge, but the speed and range of the stomping foot were beyond his imagination.

The earth trembled violently, and sand and stones flew everywhere. That foot landed firmly on the ground.

"No!!!" The remaining members of the Straw Hat crew screamed in anguish.

The foot lifted, leaving only a deep footprint and a blurry mass of flesh and blood that no longer possessed any rubbery properties on the ground.

Straw Hat Luffy is dead.

There wasn't even time to leave a final word.

"Hahaha! You fragile shrimp!" Gu Lüpi roared with deafening laughter.

"Luffy...Luffy..." Chopper's tears flowed uncontrollably, the immense grief even temporarily overshadowing his fear. He swallowed a Rumble Ball, "Monster! I'll fight you to the death! Arm Strengthen!"

It transformed into a gigantic monster and lunged at the Ancient Greenskin. However, the Ancient Greenskin merely swung its arm, which was as large as a giant tree, casually.

Like smashing a toy. Chopper's monster form was twisted and deformed in mid-air, spitting blood, before crashing heavily to the ground, reverting to his reindeer form, motionless, his life force rapidly fading away.

"Chopper!!!" Usopp cried out in terror, trembling as he fired a gunpowder star, "You monsters!"

The spark extinguished on the green-skinned man's leg. The green-skinned man didn't even look at him; a green-skinned boy next to him rushed over excitedly, his huge hand grabbing Usopp's upper body.

"Found a weird long-nosed thing! Let's take it apart and see what's fun!"

"Let me go! Help..." Usopp's cries for help came to an abrupt end.

The sickening sound of bones cracking filled the air. The green-skinned boy casually tossed the limp corpse aside and curiously picked up his slingshot.

"Three-Sword Style: Three Thousand Worlds!" Zoro unleashed his final frenzy, forcefully breaking free of his restraints and slashing at the War Boss with the burning passion of his life!

This is the strongest slash he can unleash right now!

The war boss grinned, neither dodging nor flinching. Its giant claw, which had just plundered the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit and was covered in sand and a green force field, suddenly reached out and precisely grabbed Zoro's three swords!

The force field flickers, and sand grains erode.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With three crisp cracks, Zoro's three swords, which he cherished as his lifeblood, were crushed to pieces!

Zoro's pupils contracted sharply as he stared at the hilt of the sword he held in his hand.

The next moment, the war boss's other claw pierced through his chest.

"A swordsman? Not bad. He's mine now." The warlord withdrew his claws, the light in Zoro's eyes dimmed, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Green Moss Head!" Sanji roared, dragging his broken leg, and jumped up on one foot in a final desperate attempt.

"Leg technique? Let's take a look at that too!" Another green-skinned elite grinned as he charged forward, his massive fist striking Sanji's chest before he could react.

Sanji's chest visibly caved in, blood gushed from his mouth, and his body flew out like a tattered sack, crashing into the ruins and falling silent.

"Bloom! Eighty-round flowers, four trees, twist and break!" Robin tried to put up a final resistance, his arm growing away from the green skin, wanting to twist the war boss's neck.

But the moment her arm touched the dense WAAAGH force field, it melted and collapsed like ice and snow under the sun! The force field's suppression of her abilities was absolute!

"Annoying flies." The war leader didn't even turn around. With a casual wave of his hand, a sandstorm mixed with a green energy shockwave swept out, completely engulfing and crushing the ruins where Robin was hiding. When the dust settled, there was no trace left.

"No...no!" Nami collapsed to the ground, tears blurring her vision. Princess Vivi held her tightly, her face ashen, too weak even to despair.

"Two little female shrimps?" A green-skinned boy walked over and looked at them curiously.

Nami raised the Clima-Tact in vain, only to be slapped away.

"Looks like nothing special." The green-skinned boy lost interest and waved his hand dismissively.

In just a few minutes, the once hopeful and vibrant Straw Hat Pirates were completely wiped out. Their dreams, friendship, and adventures were crushed to dust in the face of absolute power and a cruel desire for plunder, without even causing a ripple.

The war boss walked up to Luffy's mangled corpse, picked up some blood and flesh with his thick fingers, and stuffed it into the metal can at his waist.

The device hummed violently and flashed green light wildly.

"Hmm... Rubber... Interesting feeling!" The War Boss let out a satisfied growl as it felt the power flowing into the WAAAGH field. It then walked over to the corpses of Zoro and Sanji and collected samples there as well.

"Swordsmanship...leg techniques...weak, but good stuff!" it roared. "Minions! Tear down everything still useful! This city, this country, now belong to WAAAGH! Next, the whole world!"

"WAAAGH!!!" The roar of the greens was deafening, and the green tide completely engulfed Albana and spread throughout the entire Alabasta.

The naval fleet ceased its attack. They had witnessed everything that was happening below: the destruction of the Straw Hat Pirates, the crushing defeat of the Seven Warlords, and the incomprehensible methods of plunder.

"Report...The Straw Hat Pirates...confirmed wiped out." The communications soldier's voice trembled with disbelief.

Fleet Commander-in-Chief, Navy Captain Tina, was ashen-faced, her back soaked with cold sweat. She saw destruction far exceeding the Buster Call, and a power capable of overturning the world order.

"Retreat," she ordered with difficulty. "Report everything here to Marineford and Mary Geoise immediately, with top priority! This is beyond our control! We need a general! We need a marshal! We even need…"

She didn't dare to say anything more.

Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

Like a barrage of bullets, the cannonballs, accelerated by the WAAAGH force field, transformed into green meteors and hurtled towards the naval fleet. The giant, ancient green-skinned captain hurled the cannonballs captured from Alabasta with his bare hands, unleashing firepower comparable to the Buster Call single-handedly.

"WAAAGH!!!"

"Wow, boss, that's awesome! Wow!"

Under the barrage of fire from the greenskins, the naval fleet hastily turned and retreated. Their retreat was not merely tactical; it was a flight driven by a fear of an unknown natural disaster.

Alabasta was completely engulfed in a green ocean. The Straw Hat Pirates' traces were completely erased. Their abilities and traits were transformed into part of the green-skinned WAAAGH force field, becoming a tiny ripple in this destructive wave.

The green plague sweeping across the East Blue, having devoured the hopes of the Supernovas and the ambitions of the Seven Warlords, has grown even larger and more ravenous. Its gaze has now turned to the depths of the Grand Line, to the New World, and to the emperors who sit atop its peaks.

The world, faced with WAAAGH, began to groan in unbearable agony. And this catastrophe had only just begun.
