No matter the angle, the light curtain in the sky was clearly visible. Right now, only the huge numbers of the countdown were constantly ticking down.
Yuichi stared at the decreasing numbers.
The fusion of all worlds. The world of Ninja and the world of Pirate will merge into one. Failure means total erasure...
What is going on? How could such a thing appear so inexplicably?
"Quickly! Contact the Marine branches in the Four Blues and ask them if they can also see the light curtain in the sky!" Sengoku's voice suddenly boomed.
The Marine soldiers, who had been staring at the sky in shock, reacted to Sengoku's voice and hastily rushed to carry out the order.
"Notify all Naval Headquarters Vice Admirals and above to gather in the conference room as quickly as possible!" Sengoku glanced at Yuichi. "Yuichi, go get Aokiji!"
Yuichi nodded. He jumped directly from the Naval Headquarters building, his figure disappearing in a flash.
Sengoku raised his head slowly and looked at the huge light curtain again.
The fusion of all worlds... Ninja World? What is that place? And does 'Pirate World' refer to our world? Why is it called the Pirate World? Just because there are so many pirates? But there are also a lot of Marines; why is it not called the Marine World?
Meanwhile, all around the globe, everyone could see the dazzling screen. Whether they were commoners, merchants, nobles, or pirates, they could clearly read the text.
Countless people were frightened out of their wits. However, although many were initially surprised, they soon calmed down. The first thing they did was confirm if this phenomenon was visible to the whole world.
In the New World, on the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard, connected to his medical IVs, stared at the sky with a grave expression.
Suddenly, Marco stepped up behind him. "Pops! It's been confirmed. I'm afraid this thing really can be seen everywhere!"
Everywhere?
Even Whitebeard, who had weathered many storms, couldn't remain calm.
Although the light curtain was huge, logically, it shouldn't be visible to the entire planet simultaneously. Yet, everyone on his ship claimed that when they looked at it, they felt like they were standing directly in front of its center.
Whitebeard saw himself in the center of the projection, and Marco, standing next to him, saw it from a slightly different perspective perfectly aligned to him. It defied physics.
If only their area could see it, it might have been an illusion or a mirage created by a Devil Fruit user. But Marco had contacted crews elsewhere, and they saw it too. It was impossible for a mirage to affect two places across half the ocean simultaneously. If such a user existed, their power was too perverse.
'All creatures will fight for their own world... The evolution of the world... What is this!'
Whitebeard lowered his head, a deep look in his eyes.
At this moment, Kaido in Wano Country, Charlotte Linlin on Whole Cake Island, and Shanks at a banquet on a remote island were all awed by the screen.
.....
Naval Headquarters, Marineford. Conference Room.
Five Naval Headquarters Vice Admirals, including Yuichi, were present. Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru were also in attendance.
Sengoku looked at everyone with a serious expression.
"Just now, the old man asked someone to contact the Marine Bases of the Four Blues to confirm. This thing that suddenly appeared... it seems the whole world can truly see it! This kind of thing cannot be a prank!"
What kind of prank could affect the entire world?
However, Sengoku was still unwilling to believe that there were other worlds besides this one. But the most pressing issue was the countdown. Once it ended, would people from another world really invade Marineford? Who were they? How strong were they?
If the enemy defeated the Marines, what would the consequences be?
There were too many questions. Although Sengoku couldn't believe 100% of what was written on the screen, the fact that the whole world could see it made him believe at least 30%.
"Regardless of what it is, or if another world truly exists," Sengoku announced, "if any enemies do appear after the countdown ends and invade Marineford, I want you to capture them all. Naval Headquarters is absolutely not allowed to be invaded by anyone! Everyone must mobilize urgently and defend the Headquarters closely!"
Suddenly, a Marine soldier broke into the meeting room. "Report to the Fleet Admiral! An emergency contact from the Five Elders!"
Hearing this, Sengoku waved at the crowd. "Deploy the defense first. If nothing happens, treat it as a drill!"
The call from the Five Elders meant Sengoku couldn't delay. He left immediately.
Everyone, even Aokiji and Kizaru, was confused. There were too many questions. The fusion of all worlds?
Whether people from another world were coming to invade Naval Headquarters would be revealed when the countdown ended.
The Marines in the headquarters began to take action. They started to deploy defenses, though they were unsure how to defend. Where would the enemy attack from?
However, the ten-minute countdown was nearing its end.
[01:00]
[00:59]
During the last minute, even Yuichi felt nervous. Standing in the plaza of Marineford, he stared intently at the numbers in the sky.
The moment the countdown reached zero, everyone held their breath.
[Invasion Begins]
[Defender: Pirate World — Naval Headquarters All Creatures]
[Winning conditions: Within ten minutes, ensure that your Marine flag is not captured to win]
Suddenly, a golden light fell from the sky, and a golden Marine flag appeared on the top of the Naval Headquarters building. This caused all the residents of Marineford to exclaim in shock.
[Because the Pirate World is weaker than the Ninja World as a whole, the first World War will balance the overall power of both worlds]
[Pirate World Power Enhancement]
[Ninja World Power Weakened]
All of a sudden, Yuichi felt his strength increase. If converted into raw power, it had increased by about 50 percent!
However, to Yuichi's great surprise...
His System panel popped up.
[Congratulations to the host. Character template awakening has broken through 50%]
[Enable character ability: Zanpakutō Senbonzakura — Bankai]
[Reiatsu enhanced to Captain level]
Breakthrough...
The bottleneck that has been stuck for a whole decade has been broken...
