Chapter 405 - Chapter 405: Come at me, Shiki!

After a period of study and reflection on the lightning that Rorschach unleashed, Hibari finally sharpened her skills on this chaotic battlefield and came to understand how to quickly create a super-large-scale thundercloud weather.

As a Logia Gumo Gumo no Mi user, Hibari could not only freely turn her body into clouds, but she could also create a continuous stream of clouds and mist, just as Akainu could create magma and Aokiji could create ice.

These clouds and mists could be given various forms depending on her understanding.

For example, thunderclouds, flame clouds, rain clouds, poison clouds, and mirage clouds, from which she could release lightning, fire, rain, and poison mist attacks.

Zeus, the soul homie from Charlotte Linlin, was like an amplifier in her hands. It could amplify her Gumo Gumo no Mi ability before she was fully grown.

In addition, the extreme cold and extreme heat climates created by Akainu and Aokiji's abilities on G-1 Island naturally caused a large number of thunderclouds to form in the sky where the hot and cold air met.

This was why she was able to create this giant thundercloud with a diameter of several thousand meters that covered the sky in a short amount of time.

In fact, the powerful technique 'Raigo,' which was strong enough to erase an entire island, could not be directly performed by Enel himself, a Goro Goro no Mi user, without spending time to draw in the endless lightning power of the natural world. This shows how incredibly powerful it was. It could definitely be considered the peak of the pirate world.

The reason he was so obsessed with building the Ark Maxim was not only because he wanted to use the ark to go to the endless land he yearned for, but also because the Ark Maxim could create a large number of thunderclouds in a short amount of time, thereby becoming an amplifier for his Goro Goro no Mi ability.

At this moment, Hibari was in charge of creating the thunderclouds, and Rorschach would become the guide of the lightning accumulated within the endless thunderclouds.

As he raised his right hand, which was flashing with electric light, it was as if he was holding up the entire pitch-black sky of thunderclouds.

Thick pillars of lightning, as massive as ancient trees, emerged from the thunderclouds and converged on his palm.

Under the shocked gazes of countless people below, endless lightning gathered at Rorschach's location, as if all the lightning in the world was coming to him.

At this moment, he, who was shining with world-ending lightning, was the god who wielded lightning!

The God of Thunder!

Looking at the countless terrified pirates on the battlefield below, Rorschach opened his mouth wide, revealing his ferocious fangs. He waved his right hand, which was controlling countless leaping lightning dragons, downward.

"Raigo!! Divine Judgment!"

"Rumble!"

The sky of the New World was lit up and became transparent by the endless lightning. A series of kilometer-long lightning dragons followed Rorschach's wave of his hand, crashing down from a height of several thousand meters. Under the precise lock-on of his ultra-wide-range Observation Haki, they slammed into the densest areas of the pirates.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavens and earth shattered, the world roared, and the sound of lightning explosions tore through the sky, echoing throughout the entire New World.

This terrifying bang even reached Mariejois, crossed the Red Line, and entered the Paradise sea.

In this instant, endless lightning tore through the sky and earth, engulfing the ground below Rorschach.

Large numbers of pirates were swallowed by the terrifying lightning and instantly turned into ashes. They didn't even have the right to be turned into charcoal.

The sea surface for dozens of kilometers became a sea of dazzling lightning. Pirate ships exploded, evaporated, and were destroyed in the lightning, along with the pirates who were crammed on them.

The world flickered between light and dark. The sound of the explosions made people's ears buzz. They couldn't hear anything but noise.

At this moment, countless pirates were so scared that they lost their wits. They stood dumbfounded on their pirate ships, on the floating ice, and on the island, having forgotten how to escape.

"Surrender! I surrender!"

Suddenly, a pirate had a mental breakdown. He cried and knelt down, throwing away the bloody long sword in his hand. Tears continuously gushed from his frightened eyes.

"Just throw me into Impel Down! I don't want to die! I surrender!"

More pirates threw away their weapons and knelt down.

Fear spread like a virus among the gradually thinning crowd.

Large groups of pirates completely broke down because of this unstoppable, god-like power. They all knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.

They looked up at the burly figure surrounded by scorching white lightning, as if begging for a god's forgiveness.

But the god who controlled the lightning in the sky chose to ignore them.

"Your idea is a good one, but… I refuse!"

Rorschach opened his hand and held a lightning ball with a diameter of five to six hundred meters. He then slammed it down toward the sea in front of G-1 Island.

"All pirates, die!!"

"No! No!"

The pirates' eyes widened. Tears gushed from their eyes uncontrollably.

At this moment, endless regret filled their hearts.

They regretted why they had come to participate in this war. They regretted why they had joined the pirate alliance invited by Shiki. They regretted why they had become pirates in the first place!

But that no longer mattered.

Because their doomsday had already arrived!

As the lightning ball, which was like a miniature sun, fell into the sea, endless light and heat exploded on the sea in front of G-1.

The violent energy fluctuation could be felt even on islands hundreds of kilometers away.

It was as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped into the sea. The exploding waves shot up a thousand meters high.

One after another, pirate ships exploded, evaporated, and were destroyed in the lightning.

One attack! It sent over forty thousand pirates to their deaths!

If they hadn't been dispersed to meet the charging battleships, this single Raigo attack would have probably wiped out all the remaining hundred thousand pirates.

Under this terrifying, world-ending lightning explosion, the entire world seemed to have been paused. The cannon fire stopped for a moment, and the world was silent.

Regardless of whether they were friends or foes, countless people looked at the figure surrounded by lightning in the sky with reverence and fear.

Rorschach opened his hand. A crackling sound rang out in the sky. A heavy black halberd shot up from the ground, whistling as it flew, and landed in his hand.

He took a deep breath, and then with a sudden roar, his voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

"Shiki! Come and fight!"

A single roar echoed for a hundred miles!

"Rear Admiral… Rorschach."

On the ground and on the sea below, Marine soldiers looked up at the sky in a daze, clenching their fists in excitement.

"Rear Admiral Rorschach!" On a battleship, Pommel and Beppo couldn't help but raise their hands and let out a heaven-shattering roar.

"Rear Admiral Rorschach!"

Earth-shattering cheers and roars connected in a single line on G-1 and the sea outside the island.

"That kid…" Sengoku, Zephyr, and Garp, who were clearing the small islands falling from the sky, were all deeply shaken. They couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Rorschach, who was holding the halberd and stepping into the air, charging straight toward Shiki.

Zephyr suddenly smiled. The heavy mechanical arm in his hand roared, piercing through the small island in front of him and blasting it into pieces.

"Sengoku, it's time to prepare a suitable title."

"A title?" Sengoku's golden Buddha's palm slammed down. The brilliant shockwave shattered the island in front of him. He was stunned for a moment before he laughed in amazement. "You're right. It is time to think of a suitable title. After a dozen years, the third Admiral candidate should appear."

"Huhahaha! Why can't he be the fourth Marine Admiral?" Garp used Geppo to charge through the air. Black lightning shot out from his fist. He blasted the island in front of him into pieces with a single punch, laughing as he rushed toward the island falling from higher up.

"He's still a little short, but I think that day will come soon."

"Is it okay to leave Shiki to him?" Sengoku shouted to Zephyr.

"It's okay! This era will eventually be led by someone! Everyone in the last era said that Roger started it. So in this era, it should be our turn, the Marines!"

At this moment, Zephyr seemed to have been reborn. His entire body was glowing, and the smile on his face was exceptionally bright.

On the sea in the distance, on the Moby Dick, which had already retreated a dozen kilometers away, Whitebeard and Shanks looked at the sky with grave expressions.

They couldn't actually see that far. They could only sense everything that was happening over there because their Observation Haki had an extremely wide range.

At this moment, the appearance and name of Rorschach had been deeply etched into their minds.

"That Marine kid named Rorschach will definitely become our biggest opponent in the future." Shanks said in a deep voice.

"The future?" Whitebeard shook his head slightly. "He already is."

Shanks had arrived two days later than him, so he hadn't seen the entire war that had taken place on G-1 Island.

But Whitebeard had been standing here since two days ago, and he had seen the entire process of the war from the beginning to now.

It could be said that in this war, besides the famous figures like Shiki, Kaido, Garp, and Akainu, the most dazzling person was the young Marine named Rorschach.

In terms of single-target combat power, he was already no weaker than Katakuri and King.

In addition, there was a terrifying power on that young man that shook even Whitebeard.

That was the power of cohesion!

Every word and every action he made could influence the morale of all his allies on the entire battlefield.

This kind of terrifying power, which was feared by everyone on the sea, was precisely the Conqueror's Haki that an outstanding leader must possess.

And it was not just any ordinary Conqueror's Haki. It was the top-tier kind, just like the Haki on Sengoku and him, a great presence that could influence people's hearts!

Shanks's eyes flickered. He stared intently in Rorschach's direction.

He had truly not expected that in this chaotic Great Pirate Era, the Marines would actually produce such a dazzling Supernova.

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the little boy in Foosha Village in the East Blue, to whom he had entrusted Captain Roger's straw hat and the great Devil Fruit.

"Luffy, in the future, you might have a terrifying opponent waiting for you on your path."

Hearing Whitebeard and Shanks's words, Marco and Ace were both deeply shaken.

"That Marine's growth rate is truly too exaggerated. Am I witnessing the birth of a legend?" Marco shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

He had always thought he had overestimated Rorschach, but Rorschach's feats had broken his predictions time and time again.

Now, he was even more shocking, becoming the most dazzling new-generation Marine in this cruel war.

This situation, which repeatedly broke his expectations, gave him the illusion that he was witnessing the rise of a legend.

There was no need to mention Ace. Rorschach's terror had already left a deep impression on him in Mock Town and Skypiea.

"I have to get stronger! Otherwise, if I meet him in the future, I will definitely suffer a crushing defeat again." Ace gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Boom!"

The sky trembled. A series of vapor trails exploded under Rorschach's feet, propelling him through the air.

Wind and lightning swirled around his body, causing his speed to continuously increase and accelerate.

At this moment, in his eyes, there was only the blonde figure in front of him, who had left Kizaru behind and was also charging toward him with a ferocious grin.

"Shiki! Are you ready to go meet Roger?"

A hundred meters apart, Rorschach had already raised the Sky Dragon Halberd in his hand high and slashed at Shiki from a distance.

"Swish!"

A huge crescent slash, several hundred meters long, tore through the sky and whistled toward him.

"Ze hahahaha! Come on if you can, Marine kid!"

"Wave Slash!"

The great sword Sakura Ten slashed down from above with a roar. A thousand-meter-long slash crashed down, like a brilliant aurora, covering Rorschach's vision.

"Boom!"

The two slashes collided in a cross shape and exploded in the air. A massive shockwave rippled out, crazily vibrating in all directions.

However, the two figures, one gold and one silver, were like two incredibly sharp arrows. They ignored the rolling impact in front of them, went straight through, and then collided with a bang!

"Clang!"

The heavy Sky Dragon Halberd slashed onto the Sakura Ten sword embedded in Shiki's right leg. The majestic force from Rorschach's hand pressed down, making Shiki grunt and his right leg bend back little by little.

"You're quite strong. You're even stronger than Kaido back then, ze hahaha!"

Shiki grinned. He lifted his left leg, which had the great sword Deadwood embedded in it, and slashed. The blade, which was wrapped in advanced Armament Haki, tore through the air and cut toward Rorschach's chest.

Rorschach did not say anything. The lightning power in his body surged out, turning into a thick beam of light that shot toward Shiki.

"Boom!"

The lightning beam that shot out was struck by the Deadwood long sword. The huge explosion sent the two of them, who had been in a stalemate, flying.

Rorschach retreated dozens of meters. He made a grab at the empty space in front of him. Endless air currents were compressed and gathered, turning into compressed wind blades that whooshed toward the retreating Shiki.

Shiki's body was retreating, but his two legs were continuously swinging, unleashing dozens of hundred-meter-long flying slashes toward him.

"Lion's Might! Thousand Valley Slashes!"

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sharp slashes easily cut through the wind blades Rorschach had condensed, but Rorschach's body had already shot up from his original position, dodging the overwhelming flying slashes, and rising into the air.

Seeing this, Shiki grinned. He pulled his large hand toward the sky.

"Lion's Might! Palace Ground Roll!"

"Whoosh!"

A large amount of seawater, which was suspended in the sky in the distance, quickly surged over under the traction of an invisible force. It turned into a seawater lion's head that connected the sky and the ground, biting down at the rising Rorschach.

Seeing his body about to be covered by the millions of tons of seawater, Rorschach made a grab with his large hand. An invisible air wall formed from the air outside his body. He slammed it at the seawater lion's head that was biting down on him.

"Air Control! Air Barrier!"

The invisible air barrier slammed out with a bang, crashing into the biting lion's head. It instantly blasted the huge lion's head, which was formed from seawater, into pieces in the air, turning it into endless splashing seawater.

The splashing seawater scattered in all directions, but it was once again gathered by an invisible force, forming a new lion's head that bit at Rorschach.

Looking at the endless seawater creations, Rorschach suddenly pulled on the air currents within a radius of several thousand meters. The howling air currents quickly formed a spinning tornado in the empty space in front of him.

The spinning tornado pillar rotated rapidly, giving off a strong suction force. It rushed into the seawater. It spun faster and faster, stirring up the endless seawater, turning it into a magnificent scene like a dragon sucking water, and it spun at this height of a thousand meters.

Shiki was stunned. He reached out with his large hand, wanting to control the seawater, but he found that the seawater in the sky had been pulled by another force, making it impossible for him to control it in a short amount of time.

"Ze hahaha, this is interesting. You actually broke my ability."

He put his right hand over his head and pulled down hard again.

"Then try this!"

"Rumble!"

A shadow that blocked out the sky fell down, making Rorschach feel a pain in his head. He then slashed his halberd at Shiki.

"How many islands did you put in the sky, you son of a b*tch?!"
