The storm howled wildly as black and red lightning tore across the sky.
Above Marineford, Shiki the Golden Lion stood in midair, laughing madly like a demon god.
The battlefield below was shrouded in smoke and fire. Corpses piled like mountains, with severed limbs and shattered bodies buried throughout the ruins.
Marines and civilians in the distant residential zone stared up at the figure in horror, frozen in place, trembling as a deep, indescribable despair began to take r...

A scorching beam approached from behind at light speed, its overwhelming force tearing the air into spiraling white shockwaves.
“What a sneaky little brat...”
A vicious grin curled at the corner of Shiki’s mouth as he suddenly tilted his head to the left.
Borsalino’s white leather shoe brushed past his hair, the searing beam of light narrowly missing and plunging into the ground.
Boom!!
A nearby military fortress erupted in a fiery explosion, black smoke ...

“Die for me!!”
A sleazy figure flipped rapidly through the air and landed squarely on the head of a 20-meter-tall fortress monster.
The monster—once a military stronghold—froze for a moment, clearly baffled by the tiny figure perched atop it.
“Don't underestimate me!!”
Tokikake gritted his teeth, locking his hairy legs tightly around the monster’s head. His fists, wrapped in black Armament Haki, came crashing down like a storm.

Boom...
One by one, buildings and gun emplacements, infused with shrieking souls, began to awaken—transforming into towering monstrosities several meters, even tens of meters tall. Wailing as they came to life, they charged straight at the Marine defensive lines.
A building extended massive arms of stone, fists clenched tight, sweeping a dozen Marines into the air with a single horizontal strike. Debris scattered in all directions.
A military fortress, utilizing the cannon...

Amid thunderous battle cries and the sound of charging feet, more Marines from Marine Headquarters arrived, swarming in from all directions. Forming dense defensive lines, they closed in rapidly.
“Open fire!!”
“Cannons, now!!”

The Marines launched their assault—musket fire blazed in volleys, while distant artillery roared as cannons bombarded the three Great Pirates without mercy.
“How naive.”
Shiki grinned with disdain as he shot into the...

No one paid any attention to Tokikake, who was crouched on the ground, weeping like a lunatic.
The whole scene had fallen into dead silence.
Everyone stood frozen, eyes blank, as if they’d been struck by lightning—unable to believe what they had just heard.
They looked at the towering Great Pirate Big Mom, who stood there hungrily eyeing Daren with a massive broadsword on her back, then turned to the righteously stoic Marine Commodore beside her. Their mouths twitched un...

"Zephyr-sensei."
Daren descended from the sky behind them, his figure drifting down gracefully.
He had already sent Toki to safety. Under the escort of other Marines, she and the civilians were being led to shelter. After all, Toki lacked any combat ability—if she stayed, he'd have to split his attention to protect her. With a major battle looming, Daren couldn’t afford any distractions.
At that moment, Sakazuki and Borsalino also reappeared at the scene.

“I...” Kuzan’s face flushed red as he opened his mouth to speak.
“Shut up.”
Sakazuki and Daren cut him off coldly, in unison.
Kuzan looked genuinely aggrieved and pointed indignantly at Daren.
“What does this have to do with me?! Didn’t you hear them? They’re all here for you!”
Daren: “...”
He had no comeback for that.
But before he could say anything, Kuzan suddenly froze, realization dawning as he trembled slightly.

The city was in flames, thick black smoke billowing into the sky.
Cries for help and sobs echoed from every corner of Marine Headquarters. From the direction of the civilian district came the desperate weeping of the people. Marines had quickly formed into small squads, rushing to organize evacuation efforts.
“This is getting way out of hand...”
In the churning, bubbling magma, Sakazuki’s form reemerged.
Molten lava dripped from his cheeks as he adjusted his mili...

A savage, maniacal laugh echoed across the thunder-filled skies, like the whisper of a demon heralding the apocalypse. The sound sent a chill straight to the bone.
Wave after wave of overwhelming killing intent surged toward the military port, instantly draining the color from the Marines’ faces. It was as if they’d been plunged into an icy abyss.
“Is that...”
“Damn it... how is this possible...”

The closer they got to the family compound, the fewer people there were along the way.
The once-bustling commercial street now stood eerily silent. Storefronts were shuttered tight, and some street stalls had been left out in the open, still steaming from recent use, giving the place a bleak, abandoned feel.
Daren’s brow furrowed deeper with every step.
The unease in his chest was growing more intense, and his mind began racing.
Fleet Admiral Kong had gone to sea to ...

Abandoned military port.
The afterglow of the setting sun had turned into a crimson haze, gradually tinting the distant horizon and casting its glow over the earth.
By now, the entire port had become a frozen landscape—crystal-clear ice shards jutted from the ground, and a faint white mist drifted through the air.
With a dull bang, Daren and Kuzan’s fists slammed into each other’s faces at the same time. Blood sprayed, and both staggered back before falling flat onto t...

The moment that thunderous name left Garp's mouth, both Daren and Kuzan froze in place, their pupils narrowing sharply.
Patrick Redfield!
Known as “Red the Aloof” and “Red Count,” he was one of the legendary Great Pirates, a man so powerful it was said he could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Roger and Whitebeard on his own!
That reputation, though it came from Sengoku—who had a habit of exaggerating the strength of his opponents—was still enough to confirm just ...

Tsuru let out a quiet sigh in her heart.
She had watched Tokikake grow up. Though the boy wasn’t exactly handsome, he was, overall, a decent man.
As for Gion’s choice, she knew better than to interfere. She bore no resentment or judgment.
Everyone has their youth.
Compared to someone like that Marine “monster”—powerful, brilliant, charming, and dazzling—Tokikake, while a genius in his own right, simply didn’t measure up.
It was only natural to be dr...

By the time Daren returned to Marine Headquarters from the North Blue, it was already deep into the night.
With his familiarity with the sentry posts and patrol routes, he easily avoided the watchtower spotlights and patrol ships, bypassed the Marine security units, and slipped into Marineford without a sound.
It wasn’t that he was sneaking around for anything shady—he was just too lazy to deal with the hassle.
While riding his metal skateboard toward the residential qua...

After finishing his “training” of Doflamingo, Daren returned to the North Blue 321 Branch.
As soon as he walked into the Base Commander’s office, Momonga, who was buried in paperwork, looked up with a helpless expression.
“You again?”
Daren flopped onto the soft leather sofa like he owned the place, lit a cigarette, and grinned.
“What, not happy to see me?”
Momonga’s mouth twitched.
He hadn’t even enjoyed a few peaceful days before Daren s...

The strength of a Yonkō-class fighter ranks among the absolute peak of these seas. Only those who truly reach this level can be considered “gold-class contenders.”
It’s the line that separates the truly strong from the rest. Some people struggle their entire lives and never make it past this threshold, while others, with monstrous talent, walk into that grand palace with ease.
