Chapter 305 - Goodbye, Ochoku Pirates!

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. During the battle against the Ochoku Pirates, you frequently used your Devil Fruit abilities, developing the Arms-Arms Fruit to a higher level. Through self-visualization and combining the abilities of the Arms-Arms Fruit, you comprehended your exclusive skill: Daiguren Hyōrinmaru (Complete Bankai).]

[Daiguren Hyōrinmaru (Exclusive Skill): Your extraordinary comprehension, derived from visualizing Hitsugaya Toshiro unleashing his Zanpakutō, allows you to comprehend the complete Bankai of the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō. It can unleash extreme cold that freezes everything; upon contact with the blade, any element within four steps will be completely frozen.]

...

After reviewing the information that flooded his mind, Rosen's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"It's finally here."

"The Bankai of the first and strongest Zanpakutō."

Whether it's a Bankai Zanpakutō or the strongest Zanpakutō in a series, Rosen has handcrafted many of them.

The Zanpakutō of the Bankai.

There is Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.

There is Sakanade.

There is Kamishini no Yari.

And the strongest Zanpakutō in the series.

There is also the strongest fire-type move, Ryūjin Jakka.

There is also Hyōrinmaru, the strongest of the ice and snow types.

However, if we're talking about the strongest Zanpakutō, and one that has fully Bankai, then Daiguren Hyōrinmaru is the first Zanpakutō that Rosen created by hand that holds the title of the strongest and can use Bankai.

It might just be a coincidence.

In the past, the first and strongest Zanpakutō he forged by hand was the ice-type Hyōrinmaru.

Now, the first and strongest Zanpakutō he has forged by hand has reached its Bankai form, the ice-type Daiguren Hyōrinmaru.

"Thank you."

"Ochoku".

"Thanks to you, I not only received Zephyr-sensei's birthday present as I wished, but I also obtained the Bankai of this strongest Zanpakutō in the world of ice and snow."

Rosen walked up to the Hundred Flowers Ice Pillar and looked at Ochoku, who was frozen inside:

"Unfortunately, you are already dead."

"If you weren't one of the Four Emperors of this caliber, I'd really like to show you."

"The complete Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru."

He stretched out his palm and touched the icicle with his fingertips.

Click

The surface of the Hundred Flowers Ice Pillar cracked open, and then Rosen took out a cube of ice from inside the pillar.

Despite losing some of the ice, the Hundred Flowers Ice Pillar did not collapse, and Ochoku's body remained frozen inside the pillar, except that his head was nowhere to be found.

Obviously.

What Rosen took out from inside the Hundred Flowers Ice Pillar was not just a block of ice, but a block of ice containing Ochoku's head.

From the moment he arrived at Hachinosu and met Ochoku for the first time, he made his purpose clear.

I'll borrow the head from one of the Four Emperors.

This was a birthday gift he had specially prepared for Zefa, so naturally he wouldn't forget it.

Sizzle

After removing Ochoku's head, Rosen raised his left hand and gently tapped the air beside him with his fingertips.

A black line first extended outwards, and then, centered on the black line, a Garganta resembling the mouth of a giant sea monster suddenly opened.

He carried the ice block that had frozen Ochoku's head and stepped into the black cavity.

"Bye now."

"Ochoku Pirates".

Rosen stood at the entrance of the Garganta, turned his head slightly, and glanced out of the corner of his eye at Ochoku's corpse in the Hundred Flower Ice Pillar, as well as the frozen Hachinosu outside the Garganta. Then he withdrew his gaze, looked into the Garganta, and stepped into the depths.

Pfft

Just as Rosen turned his head and took his first step into the depths of the black cavity, the black cavity began to slowly close.

Then.

The Hundred Flowers Ice Pillar stands majestically like a mountain peak.

Ten thousand pirate skeletons frozen in ice.

as well as.

Under the power of Hyōrinmaru, Hachinosu was transformed into a frozen wasteland, with all houses, trees, rivers, mountains, and the ground frozen solid.

Everything frozen by the ice shattered instantly the moment Rosen stepped into the Garganta.

It shattered more thoroughly than a mirror that had been smashed to the ground.

On Hachinosu, the icebergs, glaciers, igloos, and towering ice pillars that stretched into the sky all turned into ice shards in an instant.

Some of them danced in the wind, weaving into rainbows of ice and snow in the sky, creating a beautiful ice and snow painting.

Some of them lay dormant on the ground, gradually melting away over time and turning into water, nourishing Hachinosu, a land ravaged by pirates.

In conclusion,

The moment the black cavity completely closed, everything on Hachinosu, whether corpses or people, as long as they were frozen, shattered along with the ice and turned into dust-like ice fragments, dissipating into the world.

The former pirate paradise.

In the past, it was a restricted area for Marine use.

Hachinosu, which has existed since the time of Rocks.

At this moment, after the great battle between Rosen and the Ochoku Pirates, only a barren, yet damp, flat piece of land remained.

As for the pirates, houses, trees, and the rising mountains and rivers on the island, they have all disappeared.

Perhaps in another year or two, nourished by the water and the shattered corpses of pirates, the land will regrow lawns and trees, and the riverbeds will be re-formed.

However, the Ochoku Pirates, who are entrenched on Hachinosu, will never reappear.

It's forever!

...

...

At the Marine academy.

The square was already filled with students, teachers, and many Marine personnel who had come from headquarters after hearing the news.

Through the giant screen standing in the center of the square, they witnessed the entire process of the Ochoku Pirates going from being an invincible, world-dominating Yonko to being reduced to nothing, not even a speck of dust remaining.

From reigning like an emperor over a new world to turning into ice shards.

They witnessed the whole thing.

This moment.

The vast Marine plaza fell silent, so quiet that only the breathing of the navy could be heard.

The Ochoku Pirates have come to an end.

Among the Four Emperors, there will no longer be a figure like Ochoku.

But none of them, from the admiral to the Marine commander, to the Navy Admiral, to the cadet, were willing to move an inch and leave the cadet square.

Because of the live video stream, everyone saw Rosen carrying the heads of the Four Emperors as he walked into the Garganta.

Therefore, they all knew that the legendary Marine who graduated early from the Marine Academy and single-handedly stormed Hachinosu and crushed the Ochoku Pirates in just one year was returning to Marine Headquarters.

Although the distance between Hachinosu in the New World and the Marine Headquarters in Paradise is more than ten thousand miles, they know that the man will be back soon.

Arrived at Marineford.

With such thoughts in mind, no one was willing to leave.

No one wanted to miss this historic moment, nor did they want to miss the opportunity to witness and participate in history.

In this absolute silence, time ticked by, second by second.

As time went on, the number of Marine personnel gathered in the square increased so much that it almost filled the entire Marine academy.

The Marine personnel, students, and even Fleet Admiral and admirals who stood in the school all did the exact same thing.

He remained silent.

Look up and gaze upwards.

Wait quietly.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Sudden.

Sengoku, Borsalino, and Kuzan, the three strongest Marine heroes, all had a red glint flash in their eyes almost simultaneously.

Immediately afterwards.

Sizzle

Upon hearing the sound of the sky being torn apart, everyone shuddered, then widened their eyes and stared intently at the black line that slowly extended across the sky above the Marine Headquarters.

Then.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, the sky tore open, and the Garganta opened.

A towering figure, holding a block of ice representing the head of the Frozen King, traversed thousands of miles from the New World, slowly emerging from the depths of the Garganta, descending upon the sky above Marine Headquarters, and coming into view of all the Marines.

at this time.

Time at Marine Headquarters seemed to have stopped flowing and instead stood still.

The moment was frozen in time because of the opening of the black cavity and the arrival of the figure in the sky.
