Chapter 329: Super Buster Call
Heaven and earth roared; the island teetered on the brink of collapse.
The battle between Roy and Rocks raged on. Every collision seemed to tear the world apart, the aftershocks sweeping across the entire island!
A heavily injured Charlotte Linlin had already fled wretchedly under Kaido's escort.
Seeing that their momentum was gone, the other commanders of the Rocks Pirates also dispersed and fled in their own directions.
High in the sky, Shiki the Golden Lion hovered using his Float-Float powers, looking down at the two demon-god-like figures in the center of the battlefield.
His blond hair danced wildly in the fierce wind. His expression fluctuated rapidly, a flash of unwillingness passing through his eyes: "Rocks... was actually pushed to this extent?!"
He gritted his teeth fiercely and let out a cold snort: "Hmph! I have no intention of going down with the ship!"
Before his voice even faded, his figure abruptly pulled higher, and he turned to fly far away.
On the western battlefield, Roger finally found a dying Shakky. She leaned against Rayleigh's embrace, her face as pale as paper. Her breathing was so weak she was practically on the brink of death.
"SHAKKY!!!"
Roger instantly lost all his usual composure, frantically checking her injuries: "Hold on!! You have to hold on!!!"
Rayleigh's brow was furrowed tightly, his voice deep: "Captain... we must retreat immediately! Under this level of Conqueror's Haki tremors, she won't last!"
Roger's entire body trembled. He abruptly looked up, his gaze piercing through the battlefield toward Roy and Rocks, who were still slaughtering each other in the distance.
His eyes were complex, but there was no time to hesitate. He scooped Shakky up into his arms and roared loudly: "Roger Pirates—Full Retreat!!!"
"ROGER—!!!" Behind him, an angry roar shattered the air.
Garp had pursued them. His iron fist, wreathed in terrifying Armament Haki, smashed down like a falling meteor!
"BOOM!!!"
Rayleigh's pupils shrank. He instantly drew his sword to meet the attack, the blade wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, forcibly blocking that punch!
"CLANG!!!"
An explosive impact blasted the earth apart. Rayleigh was sent flying dozens of meters, a trace of blood spilling from his mouth!
Roger looked back at Garp and grinned: "Garp!! I'll play with you next time!!!"
With that, holding Shakky tightly, he led his crew in a frantic breakout!
Garp's eyes turned cold, his feet moving to give chase, but the next moment, a devastating aftershock transmitted from the distance. A berserk aura washed over his face, forcing him to a sudden halt!
He stared dead at the center of the battlefield, his fists trembling as he gnashed his teeth and whispered: "That brat Roy... to actually be able to fight Rocks to this extent?!!"
He then violently turned around, looking toward the panicking Marine soldiers, and roared: "Full support for the Marines' evacuation!!!"
On the peak of a certain mountain, half of St. Figarland Garling's face was still swollen high, his eyes burning with humiliation and sinister fury.
He stared dead at the fierce battle in the center, a low, hoarse growl escaping his throat. From the Golden Den Den Mushi in his hand came a cold voice: "Is it confirmed?!"
Garling's expression was gloomy, his voice as low and cold as freezing iron: "Confirmed! The surviving Celestial Dragons have all been evacuated—"
"Initiate immediately—the Super Buster Call!!!"
"Wipe this island from existence completely!!!"
Bzzzt—
The secret order was transmitted instantly.
Meanwhile, far away at Marine Headquarters, Admiral Kong stood up abruptly, his expression changing drastically: "What?! A Super Buster Call?!!"
"Who gave the order?!!"
However, the only response he received was silence and static. Ten seconds later, a fleet of a hundred warships—ten times the scale of a normal Buster Call—set sail simultaneously!
Their cannons turned in unison, locking onto God Valley! The sea churned as the shadow of death pressed down upon this battlefield!
...
The earth groaned, and the firmament looked like shattered stained glass, cracking with pitch-black fissures.
In the center of the battlefield, filled with gunpowder smoke and dust, the two figures still stood tall, though they had long lost their previous fierce and peerless bearing.
Roy was half-kneeling on one knee. A hideous gash ran straight from his left shoulder to his abdomen, the flesh rolled outward, deep enough to expose bone.
Blood soaked his tattered robes, dripping steadily onto the scorched earth. Every breath he took carried a heavy, hoarse rattle.
Rocks, opposite him, was equally miserable. His entire right arm hung down, unnaturally twisted. A section of his chest was visibly caved in, and the blood continuously spilling from the corner of his mouth dyed his mouth full of sharp teeth crimson.
The Haki surrounding both men was still violently clashing and tearing at each other, but it was no longer as overwhelming as before. Like candles in the wind, it flickered unsteadily, yet stubbornly refused to extinguish.
Just amidst this tragic standoff—
"VROOM—!!!"
A fluctuation that was far colder, far more massive, and carried an aura of pure destructive will than their residual Haki abruptly descended!
Roy's Observation Haki screamed a frantic warning with unprecedented intensity. He abruptly looked up, his gaze piercing through the permeating dust to look toward the distant horizon.
He saw over a hundred steel giant ships, like a school of bloodthirsty sharks, densely rolling across the sea surface, forming an irresistible array of death.
The gun turrets of all the warships rotated synchronously. Thousands of pitch-black cannon muzzles opened menacingly, taking aim at this already devastated island.
It was a moving shadow representing absolute destruction, seemingly swallowing even the light itself.
Roy's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpricks. Through gritted teeth, he squeezed out a low growl mixed with bloody foam: "A Buster Call?! And on this scale..."
Almost at the exact same time he growled, Rocks also sensed this all-crushing threat. His pupils shrank first, and then an extreme madness replaced that momentary shock.
"HAHAHAHA!!!"
He violently threw his head back and erupted into a maniacal laughter that tore through the clouds. It shook his wounds until they split open, but he didn't care in the slightest about the dripping blood.
"Those maggots hiding in the cesspool of Mary Geoise... have they finally let out their most loyal mad dogs?!"
He split his mouth into a savage grin, sticking out his tongue to almost enjoyably lick the thick blood mixed with dust and the taste of rust from his lips. The ferocity in his eyes didn't wane due to the desperate situation; instead, like a dying ancient beast, it burned with its final, most terrifying light.
Roy exerted force beneath his feet, shaking off the surrounding rubble, and once again pulled some distance away from Rocks, his eyes locked dead onto his opponent:
"Rocks, this island... is about to disappear from the map..."
His residual Haki began to condense once more, squeezing out the last ounces of power within his body.
"One final move... let's end this completely!"
Hearing this, Rocks's laughter grew even more berserk: "HAHAHA!!!"
"Bring it on! Exactly what I wanted!!!"
He raised his longsword high. The blade ignited with pitch-black flames, and his Conqueror's Haki erupted like a tsunami, shooting into the sky and shaking heaven and earth until they crumbled!
"Before that, you bastard brat! State your name!!!"
Roy's fists clenched tight. Darkness and the power of space-time intertwined on his knuckles, black-red lightning shooting out!
His gaze was like a blade, his voice deep: "Marine—Roy!"
"God's End: DARK ANNIHILATION SLASH!!!"
Rocks roared. The blade carried monstrous darkness, as if intent on extinguishing the entire world!
"Fist Bone: UNIVERSAL IMPACT!!!"
Roy blasted out with both fists. Darkness and the power of space-time condensed into a destructive galaxy, his Haki rushing forth like collapsing stars!
"BOOM!!!"
The two ultimate powers collided in the center of the battlefield!
Black-red lightning and pitch-black impact intertwined, erupting into a storm capable of destroying everything!
The entire sky was torn apart. The rifts spread like spiderwebs, swallowing the light and enveloping all of God Valley!
The earth instantly crumbled, seawater poured in madly, and between heaven and earth, only an apocalyptic booming sound remained!
At the same time, the artillery fire of the Super Buster Call poured down! A hundred warships fired in unison, the blazing firelight covering the entire island like a torrential downpour!
Countless massive cannonballs howled as they fell, merging with the Conqueror's Haki impact in the center, completely detonating God Valley!
Garp forcibly led the remaining Marines to evacuate. His face was ashen, his voice a low roar: "Fall back! Fall back quickly!!"
The Roger Pirates were also desperately breaking out. Rayleigh firmly protected the dying Shakky as everyone fled madly.
In the center of the battlefield, Rocks was bathed in blood. His body was disintegrating, yet his laughter grew increasingly savage: "Roy... you brat... HAHAHAHA!!"
"This sea... is truly quite wonderful with you in it!!!"
Roy's fists were held high, his aura also gradually weakening. Looking at Rocks's figure, he said, "What a pity."
"My place of belonging... is not this sea..."
"BOOM!!!"
The next moment, the artillery fire and the ultimate collision of Conqueror's Haki completely submerged everything!
Rocks's body was thoroughly annihilated in the berserk energy, and Roy's figure also vanished without a trace along with it.
Under this destructive artillery fire, God Valley was completely reduced to the dust of history.
...
The artillery fire of the Super Buster Call wiped the entire island away. Between heaven and earth, only the blood-red afterglow and rolling sea waves remained.
"God Valley"—this once incomparably prosperous island, completely disappeared from the map from then on.
Shortly after, the World Government swiftly locked down the news.
The Five Elders issued the strictest orders: "To the public, declare that in this battle, Marine Vice Admiral Garp single-handedly held off the Rocks Pirates and protected the safety of the Celestial Dragons."
"Erase all traces regarding Rocks."
"God Valley... never existed."
And so, official history was rewritten.
The newspapers were filled with massive headlines: "Marine Vice Admiral Garp, With a Fearless Body, Halts the Advance of the Evil Army, Turns the Tide, and Saves the Celestial Dragons!"
After this battle, Garp was hailed by the entire world as—the Hero of the Marines!
However, looking at the newspaper, Garp himself let out a cold snort, crumpled it into a ball, and casually tossed it into the trash can.
He never detailed the Battle of God Valley to the public, and even scoffed at the word "Hero."
Because he knew clearly in his heart that the truth was not like that.
The Government had deliberately concealed Roy's existence, erasing the fact that he and Rocks had mutually destroyed each other;
They had also erased the scene in that moment where Marines and pirates fought shoulder-to-shoulder for survival.
Replacing it all was a clean, glamorous narrative of a "Sole Hero."
...
After the artillery bombardment ended and everyone had evacuated, Garp had returned to that sea surface all alone.
He used Geppo to hover above the sea, looking at the endlessly churning waves before him—
An entire island had completely vanished from the surface of the sea, not even a single shattered rock left behind.
He remained silent for a long time, his fists clenched tight.
Just as he turned to leave, a whisper suddenly reached his ears. It was as light as the sea breeze, yet clearly burrowed into the depths of his heart.
Hearing this, Garp froze. The next instant, he threw his head back and laughed heartily, the sound of his laughter exploding over the sea surface like rolling thunder.
"HAHAHAHA!!! You damn brat..."
The laughter gradually dispersed. Garp turned back around, his silhouette stretching long under the afterglow of the setting sun.
