Chapter 111 Nuclear Bomb Sword Falls, Enies Lobby AnnihilatedSkill 2: Defense - Protective Shield. An absolute defense formed by the Sanctuary, it once withstood a full-force attack from the Blue King.
Character Reset Countdown: 4 days, 13 hours, and 48 minutes remaining.
Character Accuracy: 99%.
At this moment, the massive Sword of Damocles was teetering on the brink of collapse, its blade riddled with shocking cracks.
The CP members still stranded on the island looked up in terror, staring desperately at the sword hanging overhead.
What...what the hell is that?!
Since drawing this template, Luffy had kept it shelved, never using it once.
The reason was simple: the Sword of Damocles had a more common nickname—the Nuclear Sword.
The sword's capacity to bear power was limited; the stronger Luffy became, the faster the sword would crumble.
In the original story, Suoh Mikoto, the Red King, ultimately died willingly at the hands of others because his power completely spiraled out of control, causing the giant sword to fall.
With Luffy's current terrifying strength, the moment he randomly acquires this template, the resemblance is immediately maximized.
This means that as long as Luffy dares to activate the template, he constantly faces the catastrophic threat of the falling Sword of Damocles.
Luffy with the Code template might be able to resurrect infinitely, but his companions and the environment around him would instantly turn to ashes.
At this moment, Luffy is a human nuclear bomb that could detonate at any moment.
In the distance, before the Gates of Justice, Aokiji sat on his dilapidated bicycle, watching the fleeing Marines.
A rare, relieved smile appeared on his usually cold face.
He hadn't misjudged him; that old bastard Garp's grandson was indeed extraordinary.
When he was ordered to carry out the Buster Call on Ohara, the original plan was only to target the scholars on the island; ordinary civilians were to be evacuated on designated evacuation ships.
However, that madman Akainu unhesitatingly blasted the evacuation ships to smithereens. At that moment, Aokiji began to deeply doubt the justice he had upheld.
In his view, the scholars of Ohara knew perfectly well that exploring history was illegal, yet they remained obstinate, truly reaping what they sowed.
Justice, after all, always changes shape depending on one's stance, so he didn't regret carrying out that mission.
But Akainu's extreme approach of "better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free" completely shattered his sense of justice, which was the fundamental reason he later let Robin go.
Now, seeing Luffy destroy Enies Lobby while also deliberately letting innocent Marine soldiers go, Aokiji felt extremely gratified.
Just then, ten warships that had sailed out of the Gates of Justice adjusted their cannons and began a barrage of bombardment on Enies Lobby.
A deafening roar of artillery fire echoed through the sky, instantly engulfing Enies Lobby in flames.
This sacred site, a symbol of the World Government's absolute justice, was swiftly reduced to ruins by the fierce barrage.
Watching this cataclysmic scene unfold before them, Zoro and the others were visibly shocked.
Was this the legendary Buster Call?
Even aboard the safe warship, Robin trembled uncontrollably, gripped by a fear etched into her very bones.
Nami stepped forward, gently hugged Robin, and softly comforted her.
"It's alright, it's all over now. You're a Marine now, and Luffy is completely different from those cold-blooded bastards."
As she spoke, Nami pointed to the Marine soldiers who had fled Enies Lobby in a sorry state.
Seeing the survivors, a huge weight lifted from Robin's heart.
Meanwhile, Luffy had entered the final stage of unleashing his power.
Engulfed in crimson flames, he slowly rose into the sky, the cracks on the Sword of Damocles above his head spreading wildly.
He muttered incomprehensible, nonsensical words.
"How many floors do I have to carry a bag of rice up? Two floors... um... Mr. Aokiji, the rest of the mess is yours."
Luffy, completely absorbed in showing off, suddenly shouted at Aokiji in the distance.
Aokiji stared blankly at Luffy, who shone like the sun in the sky, completely bewildered, not understanding a word the kid was yelling about.
Suddenly, the Sword of Damocles hanging above Luffy's head seemed to lose all its restraints, plummeting straight towards Enies Lobby with an aura of annihilation.
An unprecedented sense of terrifying crisis exploded in Aokiji's heart.
"Holy crap!!"
The usually composed Aokiji could no longer contain himself and couldn't help but curse.
"Ice Age!!"
He plunged his hands into the seawater, and a burst of icy energy erupted instantly.
A wall of ice, so thick it was almost despairing, rose from the ground, completely enveloping Enies Lobby.
The Buster Call's barrage of projectiles struck the solid ice, leaving only faint white marks.
Clearly, Aokiji had even imbued this attack with a high level of Armament Haki.
Vice Admiral Onigumo and the others who participated in the Buster Call stared in disbelief at the massive ice sphere that had completely sealed Enies Lobby.
What was going on? Why did Admiral Aokiji suddenly intervene?
Was he trying to stop us from continuing the Buster Call?
The five vice admirals stared at the impenetrable ice wall, their minds filled with questions.
Just then, a violent tremor accompanied by a deafening roar erupted from within the ice sphere.
The ice sphere, which Aokiji had used at full power, began to tremble violently, then exploded like a lit firework.
BOOM!!
A deafening roar, accompanied by blinding white light, filled the entire world.
Enies Lobby, known as the Island That Never Sleeps, was now completely engulfed in a sea of white light; nothing could be seen.
It took an unknown amount of time for the group to recover from the intense ringing in their ears and the blindness.
All the marines looked around in panic, completely bewildered.
What on earth happened?!
Were we under attack?
A soldier slumped onto the deck, pointing in terror in the direction where Enies Lobby had been, his finger trembling like a leaf.
Vice Admiral Onigumo, seeing this, roared, "What kind of behavior is this! As elite marines, what is there to be afraid of?!"
He then looked in the direction the soldier was pointing, his eyes widening instantly, and he instinctively swore.
"Holy shit!"
The once magnificent Enies Lobby had vanished completely, replaced by a bottomless, gigantic meteorite crater.
Countless drops of seawater were frantically pouring into that black hole-like crater, forming a massive whirlpool.
Aokiji, witnessing the horrific scene before him, couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his brow.
Could this kid have actually created Pluto? The power to destroy an entire island in one strike—only an Ancient Weapon could achieve that.
