The so-called Will of the World...
Is exactly like a unilateral program setting running perfectly in the background.
Without a distinct soul or true wisdom of its own, it does not interfere with the natural fate of living beings or the changing of eras.
When Mirai acts normally within the world's bounds, it will not actively stop him.
However, it will absolutely attack during a forceful intrusion, and it will also aggressively attack when he seizes a piece of the world's origin (the Tremor-Tremor Fruit).
With this crucial confirmation in his heart, Mirai's Rinnegan pupils looked up directly at that vast, boundless cosmic sea of lightning.
Actively canceling part of the repulsive force's invisible enhancement, Mirai reached out his bare palm to physically touch the apocalyptic lightning with his physical body!
BOOM!
His flesh violently exploded, only to miraculously recover in a single instant.
Whether it was the enhancement of the Six Paths Power or the Reverse Cursed Technique from the Jujutsu Kaisen World...
Even if Mirai completely dropped his defenses and didn't defend himself...
His physical body was much closer to a true 'immortal' body than Kinji Hakari's temporary state after expanding his Domain!
Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki.
Flesh was brutally destroyed and seamlessly reshaped time and time again by the heavenly strikes.
The high-level concepts of the Haki contained entirely within the world's physical rules were perfectly broken down, understood, and mastered by Mirai!
Since the Will has no wisdom, it can be perfectly utilized!
Instead of a punishment, this was actively becoming a brutal training method that completely helped Mirai become even stronger!
Unfortunately...
It seemed that all the other people in the Pirate World could not adapt to this terrifying shortcut.
—RUMBLE!
Marineford.
This massive naval fortress, universally symbolizing Absolute Justice, completely sank violently into the churning sea at this exact moment!
Endless, destructive black lightning covered ten thousand meters, and an extreme, apocalyptic aura of cosmic destruction completely filled the sky and earth!
Mirai floated calmly in mid-air, completely bathed in the violent center of the lightning, with a bottomless, spinning deep-sea vortex directly beneath his feet!
The millions of gallons of seawater that had just rushed in from ten thousand meters away was instantly, violently evaporated by the intense aftershocks of the lightning splashes!
The massive Sea Kings dwelling peacefully beneath the bedrock of Marineford had their thousand-meter bodies instantly blown into a thick, boiling blood mist!
Sea Kings: '???'
A complete dead zone for all living things, a terrifying forbidden area where simply approaching meant death!
...
Long before the massive island finally sank, countless pirate ships and Marine warships had already desperately fled the harbor.
Just the ambient aftershocks spreading from that lightning forbidden zone caused the surrounding sea to violently rage.
All the ships that had recently escaped were now facing extreme maritime weather even worse than the chaotic latter half of the Grand Line.
In the vast and boundless deep blue ocean, waves rose violently higher and higher!
The heavily swaying and violently overturning turbulent waves sprayed massive amounts of white foam, letting out deafening roars that seemed to physically rend heaven and earth!
"Ice Age!"
The towering, tsunami-like waves about to violently crash down on both sides of the lead Marine warship were completely frozen by Admiral Aokiji into two leaning icebergs!
"Great Eruption!"
The massive waves violently crashing down directly in front of the ships were completely evaporated by scorching, volcanic lava from Admiral Akainu!
Even with two combatants of Admiral level actively clearing the way ahead...
The hundreds of massive warships were exactly like fallen leaves tumbling helplessly in a hurricane wind, in a constant, terrifying state of swaying and potential capsizing.
Half an hour later.
The ships finally sailed out of the exceptionally dangerous waters, and the dark sky turned perfectly clear once again.
"We... we escaped!"
"We're still alive!"
Looking far back at that dark, apocalyptic patch of sky and sea, countless Marines showed heavy expressions of relief after escaping death.
Sengoku, Garp, and the Three Admirals stood heavily at the front bow, their faces completely full of extreme solemnity!
With tightly furrowed brows, they all silently thought of one single word!
'Monster!!!'
Even though they were incredibly far away and their eyes could not clearly see the figure submerged in the sea of lightning...
Their advanced Observation Haki could still clearly, perfectly perceive it!
In the center of that lightning-filled forbidden zone, there was a vigorous, overwhelmingly powerful life force completely opposite to the surrounding power of destruction!
The only reason their Observation Haki couldn't perceive his presence before was that Mirai had been actively using his Kamui Intangibility.
Now that Mirai was using his physical body to withstand and absorb the rules, Sengoku and the others instantly captured that incredibly exuberant life force!
It was exactly like a brilliant, burning sun shining in the center of the pitch-black lightning!
...
Fleet Admiral Sengoku heavily rubbed his throbbing temples with a deep headache, and a few strands of his black hair under his seagull hat seemed to have visibly turned white from stress.
The Three Admirals were physically preserved, but the entire Headquarters was gone.
Fire Fist Ace, whose public execution had been proudly announced to the whole world, and the cursed bloodline of the Pirate King had also successfully escaped.
In that kind of apocalyptic maritime environment just now...
Forget about effectively capturing the fleeing remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates; being able to actively evacuate safely was already a good enough outcome.
However, the Five Elders of the World Government would absolutely not listen to these rational excuses.
They were a group of cold bastards who only cared about the final results.
Most importantly... that monster who had suddenly appeared completely out of nowhere.
He was a terrifying, uncontrollable bomb that could easily blow up the entire world.
Thinking of this...
Sengoku had an incredibly grim face as he looked directly back at the strange group of people surrounded by dozens of armed Marines on the central deck of the warship.
Seeing Sengoku slowly approach, Panda, who was nervously in the middle of the encirclement, broke into a cold sweat and swung his fluffy fists awkwardly in the air.
"Don't attack!"
Kusakabe quickly spoke up, taking the proactive lead to heavily sheathe the long sword in his hand. "We are not your enemies."
"Hmph!"
Akainu gave a cold, terrifying snort, his eyes full of pure killing intent fixed on the group, and the air instantly filled with a scorching, volcanic heat!
Clang!
A highly serious-looking Yuta Okkotsu actively drew his sword and stood firmly in front of everyone, fearlessly facing the enraged Admiral Akainu.
Kinji Hakari looked at his junior who was completely ready to fight for his life, shook his head helplessly, and stepped forward to join him.
Seeing that the tense situation wasn't right...
Panda immediately pushed Maki Zenin, who was standing beside him, firmly to the front, and said loudly with borrowed authority: "Wait, wait!"
"This is Zenin Mirai's sister! If you dare lay a hand on her, that guy will definitely not forgive you!"
Akainu's blazing killing intent did not diminish!
The pink-haired Yuji Itadori immediately pointed urgently back to the distant lightning forbidden zone, reminding them, "Zenin Mirai is exactly that guy!"
Akainu's killing intent paused completely.
Even the large group of Marines surrounding Itadori and the others immediately, nervously shifted their weapons entirely away from Maki's position.
Then, they all uniformly pointed their guns at the one who looked exactly like a pet... Panda.
A long moment later—
"So what?!"
Mentioning the terrifying monster who had so severely injured him earlier, a flash of deep shame and anger appeared on Akainu's face!
His chest and mouth still had two terrifying, bleeding puncture wounds that throbbed violently with pain!
—Sizzle!
Lava violently dripping from his clenched fist burned a small, smoking hole completely through the wooden deck!
"Sakazuki, wait!"
Sengoku stepped firmly in front of Akainu first, looking at the strange group with a highly serious face. "That mon— guy is actually called Zenin Mirai?"
Panda, actively pointed at by countless Marine weapons, clung tightly to Maki's side and nodded his fluffy head so fast it left afterimages.
Now that White Zetsu wasn't around to back them up, the few of them genuinely were at risk of being slaughtered at any moment.
They were all completely unfamiliar faces he had never actively seen before, and they were all part of the mysterious group that fell from the sky.
Sengoku frowned deeply. "What is your exact origin, and what exactly is your purpose here?!"
"That question is quite complicated."
Kusakabe nervously sheathed his sword again and stepped forward, explaining smoothly, "Just consider us as having come from a very remote, isolated corner of the world to suddenly appear on this sea."
"Although the monster you're all incredibly wary of is technically from the exact same place as us, our ultimate purposes are completely different."
Glimpsing the furious Akainu behind Sengoku out of the corner of his eye, Kusakabe leaned slightly backward toward Maki.
"Simply put, we want to temporarily join your Navy organization for combat training."
"Compared to mixing with those wicked, lawless pirates... you are a much better choice for us."
The massive ships escaping from that doomed island belonged strictly to two completely different factions.
White Zetsu had specifically asked them before he vanished, but the group from Jujutsu High chose the side that seemed much more like 'Justice'.
"Hmph! You still want to join the Navy?!"
Akainu's distorted face, horribly accentuated by the fresh puncture scar on his mouth, was even more utterly terrifying!
"BWA-HAHAHAHA!"
"Don't be so damn tense, Sakazuki, Sengoku!"
Garp stepped forward with large, relaxed strides, smiling widely as he patted Itadori's shoulder.
"This strong guy looks quite suitable to become a Marine to me!"
His physical fitness was incredibly good, and he had bizarre martial arts skills that were completely different from Armament Haki.
Especially... when Garp was briefly fighting Itadori, he frequently saw the look of unbearable pity Itadori cast toward the bloody casualties on the battlefield.
Regardless of whether they were Marine or pirate, that was absolutely an eye that purely valued the fundamental preciousness of life.
This strange group of people and that monster called Zenin Mirai were definitely not the exact same kind of people.
This one crucial point, Garp could completely confirm!
"What an absolute joke! I will not agree to this!"
Akainu glared furiously at Garp, burning lava dripping steadily and hitting the floor!
The Navy's dignity had been completely swept away, and the grand headquarters had sunk into the sea.
The only reason Garp could still laugh happily was because his two criminal grandsons were still completely alive and well.
As for the upcoming, brutal accountability from the World Government... he would just leave it all to Sengoku.
After all, he was just an ordinary... hands-off Marine Vice Admiral.
