ocean!AI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 247: Light Re-weaves the Sky, Iron FistShakes the Ocean!Above Alabasta, the atmospheric pressure was suffocatingly low.The lead-grey clouds were brutally torn apart, and several gigantic islands, engulfed in raging flames, were breaking through the atmosphere with destructive force, plummeting towards the capital, Alabasta.One yellow and one purple figure hovered directly beneath this apocalyptic disaster, their robes flapping wildly in the turbulent air currents."Tsk tsk, that old senior, even in death, he doesn't give anyone a moment's peace~"Kizaru Borsalino, hands in the pockets of his striped trousers, tilted his head to look at the sky, a habitually slightly frivolous smirk on his lips.But the gaze behind his lenses was, uncharacteristically, not lax in the slightest.Fujitora Issho remained silent, his perpetually closed eyes 'gazing' at the firmament, as if he could'see' every structure within the colossal objects on the verge of collapse.He could also see below, a fervent life force field, woven from hundreds of thousands of living beings, filled with fear and prayer.The weight of that life was far heavier than the islands above his head."If those were to fall, the entire Alabasta, along with its sleeping history, would 'bang' and disappear, wouldn't it?" Kizaru glanced at his colleague beside him."Therefore," Fujitora's deep voice resonated, overpowering the howling wind,"If you have a plan, please act quickly. If we delay, this old man's gravity might not be able to hold back the 'wrath' of the heavens.""The target is too big, and the kinetic energy is excessively high..."Kizaru clicked his tongue, seemingly complaining, yet countless brilliant golden light particles had already begun to emanate from his body."Forget it, there's no way to avoid it anyway."Before his words even finished."Whoosh——!"A supremely sharp golden light pierced through the gloom, shooting straight up against the descending torrent!In the instant it approached, the golden light burst forth.One became ten, ten became a hundred, a hundred became tens of millions!Innumerable light particles boiled, stretched, and reshaped, instantly forming countless 'Kizarus' that filled the sky.Each shone with a scorching brilliance like the core of the sun, reflecting the apocalyptic sky into a magnificent yet eerie golden ocean."Yata no Kagami: Thousand Glories."Countless voices, with the same intonation, merged into a magnificent chorus.Countless arms simultaneously spread open, countless fingers formed the iconic, yet at this moment incredibly solemn, 'orchid finger' starting pose.The next moment, a rain of light descended.It was a torrent of light, a pure energy current composed of billions of destructive light bullets.They converged into majestic rivers of light, carrying the scorching heat and sharpness that purified everything, precisely washing, cutting, and penetrating the massive island bedrock.Boom boom boom boom——!!!Loud crashes merged into an eternal roar.The massive rock formations evaporated and disintegrated in the light, forcibly breaking down from a single destructive giant island into a relatively 'gentle' rain of rubble.But even so, the scale of this 'rain' was still enough to pulverize Alabasta.Just then, below.Fujitora took a step forward, and the void beneath his feet seemed to ripple.He slowly drew his cane sword.His 'gaze' seemed to fall upon the earth, upon the tiny figures fleeing, crying, and kneeling in prayer.He could 'hear' that the fear of the good, and the fierce determination to protect their families, were heavier than rock."Even if the sky collapses..."He murmured, bringing his cane sword before him, its tip lightly touching the void."Let gravity be the sole reliance of the good."Clang——!Whoosh!One, ten, a hundred... deep purple gravity rings, like cosmic nebulae, suddenly expanded from him, swirling upwards into the sky.They rapidly expanded, each ring precisely enveloping an area about to be covered by rubble, interlocking and fitting together.Finally, above the sky of Alabasta, they formed an incredibly intricate and massive gravity network covering the entire capital."Secret Technique: Unlimited Void."Fujitora declared in a deep voice.A wondrous sight occurred.The rapidly falling rubble, of varying sizes, experienced an absolute disruption in their descent trajectories the moment they entered this purple gravity net.The entire sky above Alabasta transformed into an absolute domain, controlled by Fujitora's will, where the laws of gravity were completely chaotic.The deadly rain of rubble was wantonly kneaded, tamed, and dismantled within this 'Unlimited Void,' turning into a chaotic light and shadow show with thunderous roars but no actual harm.Occasionally, tiny pieces of rubble slipped through the network, but their kinetic energy had long been weakened layer by layer, only kicking up a small puff of dust upon landing.Above the sky, 'Light Ganoderma' was furiously disintegrating destruction.Below the sky, 'Gravity' was precisely reconstructing order.After a long while,The myriad golden lights Kizaru had transformed into gradually converged, returning to his lazy original form.He looked down at the quietly rotating purple nebula network covering the capital, and the countless pieces of rubble seemingly trapped in amber within it, raising an eyebrow."Truly... an exaggerated ability."He sighed, his tone unclear whether it was admiration or something else.Fujitora did not respond, but the slight beads of sweat on his forehead showed that maintaining an 'empty domain' of such scale and precision was by no means easy for him.He 'looked' at the lights of life, representing survival and gratitude, gradually brightening across the capital, and a subtle softening seemed to cross his stern face.Alabasta was saved.With two distinctly different, yet equally world-topping powers... the thousand sunny was steadily sailing towards Fish-Man Island, cutting through the shimmering waves.A lazy tranquility, unique to post-battle rest, permeated the deck, mingled with the faint scents of seawater, wood, and the tangerine grove."Fish-Man Island~~"Sanji transformed into a spinning heart, wriggling by the ship's rail, the cigarette smoke eerily outlining the silhouette of a mermaid. "I'll soon meet the dreamlike mermaid ladies! They are the pearls of the deep sea, beings that transcend the very words 'cute' and 'beautiful'!!""For this moment, even if my wounds reopen a hundred times, it's worth it!""Sanji! Stop right there!" Chopper, in his small reindeer form, anxiously pattered across the deck with his tiny hooves, chasing after him."Strenuous exercise will infect your wounds! And you, Zoro!"He suddenly turned to the Mosshead swordsman at the bow, who was trying to secretly pull out a wine bottle cork. "Doctor Chopper strictly warns that alcohol is absolutely forbidden until your wounds are fully healed!"Zoro's movements froze mid-air, his brows knitted together, and he clicked his tongue:"Less talk, these minor injuries heal faster with alcohol!"He tried to find a corner, but Chopper indignantly bit onto his pant leg."Hahaha! Sanji is an idiot! Zoro is being controlled by Chopper!"Luffy, holding his straw hat, watched his companions' daily commotion and laughed heartily, slapping the deck without reservation.His laughter was loud and infectious, making the sunshine seem even brighter.However, the next second—Luffy's smile seemed to freeze instantly, stuck on his rubbery cheeks.An extreme sense of crisis, originating from deep within his bloodline, forged through countless 'trials,' almost instinctive, poured over him like a bucket of ice water, making every hair on his body stand on end."Ha...?"Before anyone could react to the meaning of this change in expression.Boom——!!!A cannonball accurately landed on the coastal rocks not far in front of the thousand sunny.The enormous explosion shook the heavens and the earth, sending a pillar of water shooting skyward like an enraged Sea King, and even salty mist drifted onto the deck with the wind.Splash!Water droplets fell, hitting Luffy's rigid face.He suddenly jolted, as if waking from a nightmare, his rubber body 'whooshed' high into the air, eyes wide open."Fra——nky——!!!"He almost shrieked, his voice cracking from extreme fright."Super acceleration! Quick! Full throttle! Helm! Get away!! Now!!"This sudden, intense reaction, comparable to seeing a Four Emperors, instantly solidified the air on the deck.Everyone was stunned by his excessive terror, even Chopper forgot to continue biting Zoro's pants.Luffy was already darting around the deck like a headless chicken, finally crashing into the ship's rail, bouncing back, and clutching his head."It's my grandpa!! He's chasing us!!!"Instantly, the air on the deck went from solidified to explosive... "Hahahaha, Luffy! You brat, you run faster than a Sea King when you see your grandpa?!"A rough, bold roar, as if capable of scattering waves, slammed violently onto the thousand sunny's sails from a distant place.There was no trace of anger in the voice, but rather a kind of hunting, exhilarating excitement."Taste my long-cherished 'Iron Fist of Love'!!!"At the bow of the distant dog-headed warship, space suddenly collapsed inward for an instant.Immediately after, a figure as burly as a small mountain burst through the air, tore through light, and transformed into a supersonic physical cannonball, violently shooting towards the thousand sunny!Wherever he passed, the sea surface below was literally plowed open by the pure, extreme impact force!A straight gully, wider than the warship and deep enough to see the bottom, instantly formed, with solidified giant walls of seawater dozens of meters high rising on both sides!!Sizzle——Buzz——!!!Crimson-golden Conqueror's Haki wrapped around that massive fist, furiously compressed and condensed by an inconceivable brute force and will!They transformed into an intensely burning, constantly collapsing outer layer of destructive energy, whose extreme heat and energy distorted the light around the fist's edge."This punch,"Garp's figure rapidly magnified in everyone's retinas, his wide grin more chilling than any ferocious expression,"You old man, you'd better catch it well!!!"(Because of another volume error, the release time has been changed.)
