It turned out that during the entire incident, Haruki had been watching from above Aria’s mansion aboard Vimana, accompanied by Kurome, Gin, and Chelsea. They only descended when Kurome urged him to do so just as the Night Raid members were preparing to leave.
Haruki had originally intended to bring only Kurome and Gin, but Chelsea insisted on coming along, saying, “How could I miss out on something this exciting?” Haruki was helpless against her fondness for getting involved in a...

Cirucci followed Aizen’s gaze.
A figure, roughly the size of one and a half sheep, was charging toward them.
Why one and a half?
Because it was a person riding atop a half-human, half-goat creature.
No…
To be more precise—
The ruler of Hueco Mundo was riding on the back of a Vasto Lorde!
The moth-like Adjuchas trembled instinctively. The impact of a Vasto Lorde-class Resurrección Arrancar was something she, still an untransformed Adjuchas, had ...

For a long time afterward, Masatsuki Aozaki continued his monotonous and uneventful routine.
Each day was the same—either overseeing the Arrancar transformation process for the Menos of Hueco Mundo or indulging in leisurely affairs with the female Arrancar.
Life was repetitive, dull to the extreme.
In truth, there was little that required his attention.
With Aizen, Kaname Tōsen, and the Arrancar maintaining order, Hueco Mundo was practically at peace.

“So brutal... I never knew bees could eat people.”
“Isn’t that something only ants can do...?”
Kazuyama had just learned something new. He’d seen plenty of horror movies in his past life, and only bugs like ants could strip a body to the bone.
But today, bees proved they could do it too. Tsk, the more you know.

As news of Tsunade’s abdication spread through Konoha, the debate over who would become the new Hokage grew more intense.
Two days later, the election officially began.

At dawn, people began gathering in front of the stage that had been set up for the event.

On a rooftop not far from Eight-Tails Gyūki...
Reiji squatted down, seriously picking his nose as he studied the raging beast.
“Hey, Neko, think the two of us could take him?”
A snarky, proud voice rang out in his head. “That dumb ox? Please. I could scratch his face into a mess with one swipe!”
Reiji gave a half-hearted thumbs up, muttering to himself.
Heh... as if. You’re just a little brat. You’d get smashed flat by that jacked-up meathead.

In Kumogakure, the battle had become a deadlock.
Gyūki, restrained by the Wind and Thunder Chains, was numb and drained of most of his strength.
But this wasn’t some soft, cuddly Two-Tails kitten—this was a mountain of muscle and a true juggernaut.
Even with dozens of ninja pulling in unison, Gyūki continued to roar and thrash violently.
On Kumogakure’s side, over a dozen ninja clung to a single, massive chain, faces red and necks bulging as they pulled with ev...

Kumogakure, Raikage Building.
The earth trembled violently as the Eight-Tails, Gyūki, unleashed its fury.
Compared to the other Tailed Beasts, this one was clearly a notch above. Its menacing horns, massive arms, and eight enormous tails made it look like a monstrous embodiment of raw power and violence.
Screams echoed through the village. Countless villagers fled their homes in panic, forming a massive tide of people surging toward the village outskirts.

The witch studied tirelessly, and the young man who called himself a sage spared no effort in teaching her everything he knew.
Magecraft, martial arts, tactics, political strategy... the sage held nothing back.

The very thought sent chills down the spines of all the Marine officers present.
No one knew better than the Marines just how insane Shiki could be.
This pirate, whom Admiral Sengoku had openly called a “legend,” was so terrifying and dangerous that, in many ways, he surpassed even Roger and Whitebeard—let alone Kaidou and Big Mom.
He treated human lives like weeds, stopping at nothing to achieve his goals. Cruel and decisive in his killings, he saw his subordinates as...

One day later.
Grand Line, first half — Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
A warship docked.
“That’s... Commodore Tokikake’s warship!”
“Salute!”
As the orderly shouted, all the Marines patrolling the massive oval-shaped harbor halted what they were doing and saluted in unison.
The gangway was lowered.
Tokikake strolled down the ramp with his hands in his pockets, glancing at the rows of Marines eagerly awaiting at the dock. Playing the par...

North Blue.
Rubeck Island.

The Den Den Mushi in front of him slowly went to sleep.
Doflamingo leaned back into the soft leather sofa. A cold glint flickered beneath his sunglasses, and a twisted smile crept onto his face, lingering there like a shadow.
“What happened!?”
“Doffy!?”
“Why did your Conqueror’s Haki suddenly erupt!?”

A flurry of tense, hurried footsteps echoed from the shoreline, drawing closer.
At that moment, Tokikake’s warship finally arrived.
Hundreds of Marines stormed forward with wary expressions, rifles in hand as they formed an assault formation, all weapons aimed squarely at Crocodile.
But as they took in the sight before them, every single one of them froze on the spot.
Wasn’t this the target said to be incredibly powerful—capable of annih...

"Donquixote Doflamingo?"
At the mention of the name, a sharp glint flickered in the eyes of the Five Elders on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
A defiant, blond brat came to mind.
They remembered that scene vividly.
Wearing sunglasses, the boy had climbed the Celestial Stairway step by step, carrying a bloody head. When he reached them, he tossed it at their feet.
"This is my father's head. I want to become a Celestial Dragon again."

The heart burst in Daren’s hand, spraying blood in all directions.
Behind the CP0 mask, the agent’s pupils quickly lost their light. Blood gushed from the hole in his chest, soaking the pristine white silk robe in crimson.
With a dull thud, the body hit the ground, blood pooling rapidly beneath it.
Silence.
Not a single sound.
Crocodile stared at Daren, completely shaken by the sudden attack. His pupils shrank and trembled violently.

At those words, Crocodile’s pupils contracted sharply, as if thunder had crashed through his mind. He stared ahead, stunned.
Seeing his expression shift, Daren sneered inwardly.
This guy had bulldozed through the first half of the Grand Line and stormed into the New World, probably without facing many real threats. After all, most of the big-name powerhouses had already been “offended” by Daren himself—who had the time to mess with a newcomer like Crocodile?

The Vice Admiral’s uniform was shredded by the blast of yellow sand, revealing a scar-covered, muscular frame beneath.
A cold, almost imperceptible gleam shimmered across his skin.
Crocodile’s eyes widened in disbelief.
His attack… hadn’t even left a scratch!
“This... how is that possible?!”
Crocodile’s voice was hoarse, his expression stunned.
Tokikake stared at Daren, jaw practically hitting the floor.

The sudden voice made Crocodile instinctively pause.
Before he could react, a figure came crashing down from the sky like a cannonball, slamming into the ground.

A massive cloud of dust erupted outward, and a huge crater suddenly formed, riddled with cracks.
At the center of the pit, the upper half of a person was completely embedded in the earth, with only two hairy legs twitching in midair.
