Aokiji’s Ice Age flash-froze the tsunami and the surrounding sea, but in the next instant, the ice shattered.
The Moby Dick crashed through the frozen debris, charging toward Marineford.
"Gurararara! Ace, Pops is here to save you!"
Whitebeard gripped Murakumogiri, his naginata, and swung it toward Marineford. The single slash tore the ocean apart, the waters parting so completely that the seabed itself was visible for long, harrowing moments.

With the Hell Witch’s departure—
Instantly, The space beneath the Manhattan Bridge was plunged back into darkness.
But whether for Hawk or for Peter, the darkness was irrelevant. They could both still see as clearly as if it were day.
Peter stared at the spot where the witch had vanished, his mouth slightly agape.
“She’s gone?”
“Apparently, yes.”
“So...”
"Leave it," Hawk cut in. "It's Osborn family business."
"Right..." Peter t...

If the Osborn family’s genetic disease wasn’t a disease at all, but a demonic curse... then it all made perfect sense.
Harry had used Peter blood to cure himself.
The demon lurking in the shadows wasn’t having it. That very night, it renewed the curse, leaving no room for error, and took Harry off the board for good.
The more Gwen thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Hawk.
“So, what’s next?”
“Next...”

Inside a large office building purchased by the Bounty Hunters' Guild.
Jin and Crocodile met.
"Everything went smoothly?" Jin asked.
"Capone Bege is a valuable bargaining chip," Crocodile said. "He knows a lot of secrets. He's been throwing his weight around the West Blue for years and has made plenty of enemies. They were more than happy to see him fall. He tried to escape a few times, but failed. He's in a warehouse at the docks now, under Mr. 1's personal...

The Red-Haired Pirates, a crew destined to one day be known throughout the world, was born in obscurity on some nameless island in the West Blue.
When elites gather for a common cause, their potential is bound to be unparalleled.
Of all this, Arthur, far away on the Sabaody Archipelago, knew nothing. He had likely even forgotten the challenge he had once issued to Shanks.
A man's life is meaningless if he doesn't strive for the things he desires.
And the thing Arthur d...

Scene shift—the familiar bedroom.
Bokue lay on his apartment bedroom's large bed, gazing up at the ceiling he hadn't seen in ages as he breathed a gentle sigh.
"Feels like it's been forever since I last lay in my own bed."
"Of course it has,"
The moment he finished speaking, a pair of black cat ears perked up on his chest, followed by a shapely girl in a black kimono rising slightly with a hum.
"After all, for over a month now you've basically ...

Just as Kotori was about to continue her rant, Reine stepped in to smooth things over.
“According to the intel we’ve gathered,” she said in her usual calm tone, “nearly all of DEM’s facilities have been destroyed, and most of their key personnel are dead. There’s one other piece of news… DEM’s executive director, Isaac Westcott, was also killed in the attack.”
‘So that’s how it is…’

In the Japanese-style dining room of the Asagami residence.
The atmosphere was exceptionally oppressive, almost suffocating.
But that was just Masako Asagami’s illusion.
“Fujino, it’s not good to be a picky eater,” Haru said, glancing at her from the head of the table.
“…Mm.” Fujino, who was currently picking the green peppers out of the dish before her, wrinkled her delicate, cute nose.
“Fujino,” Mrs. Asakami’s voice was a gentle reprimand.

Of course, it didn't really matter if Rayleigh decided to stay out of it. A Whitebeard in his prime was more than enough to stir up a storm.

Hawk stood at the edge of the Times Square building’s rooftop, his hands in his pockets, and spoke calmly as he looked at Spider-Man.
Peter figured Hawk was just showing off.
But—
On second thought, he immediately understood the real reason Hawk had intervened.
And it wasn’t just Peter.
Later, after Peter and Mary Jane had reunited and headed for the subway, Hawk was driving Gwen home when she, too, figured out why he had suddenly decided to get involved.

With a gasp from Gwen and a cry from Mary Jane, the two women felt their vision blur as a wave of weightlessness washed over them.
The next second, the massive screen torn from the face of the Times Square tower slammed into the plaza below, obliterating itself in a shower of glass and electronics.
Miraculously, it didn't hit anyone.

Jin watched as the 600 million Berries were transferred to his account. He immediately converted it into 600 million Berries' worth of goods and specialties from the Kano Country.
One more flip, and he was looking at a profit of at least tenfold. Of course, there would be overhead costs—storage, unsold inventory—but the massive profit margin was due to the simple fact that the Red Line and the Grand Line cut off the Four Blues from the rest of the world, creating a transportation mo...

Every pirate who enters the New World dreams of reaching the top.
But with insurmountable mountains blocking their path, they are forced to band together, relying on the strength of others. The most common path is an alliance—a temporary truce to achieve a shared victory, after which each takes what they desire.
It was the same path a future generation—Luffy and Law, Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo—would one day take.
They were the most lawless of men, but after witnessing the ...

Like a small animal desperately struggling after being lifted off the ground, the petite blonde Bokue had caught from the storage room was now frantically kicking her legs wrapped in black stockings beneath her school uniform skirt.
Not that it did any good—she was too short, about the same height as Nagisa, so when Bokue held her up, no matter how hard she kicked, her legs just flailed uselessly in the air.

I was awakened by the vibration of my phone on the nightstand.
In my arms, Mayuri stirred, murmuring softly as she burrowed deeper under the covers. Without opening my eyes, I fumbled for the phone, its usually pleasant ringtone now a grating annoyance.
“Hello?? Who is this…” I mumbled, my voice thick with sleep.

Logically, even with its existence revealed to the world, Wakanda should have been able to stand its ground. With an arsenal of Vibranium tanks and jets, they should have been more than a match for any "peacekeeping" force the Five Great Powers could muster.
But not this time.
The Demon Hulk had torn through their country, and the full might of the Wakandan army had been powerless to stop it.
They had suffered catastrophic losses, and the entire River Tribe's district had be...

After a brief stop for coating, the vessel submerged, then shot ...
