Chapter 340: The Monster Attacks! This is the World’s Strongest!

High-rise Building — The Dictator’s Perch

Tendo Kikunojo gripped the railing, his knuckles white. He looked down at the Gastrea army surging like a tide, the smile on his face becoming increasingly morbid and insane. He was losing control, and in his desperation, he embraced the chaos.

"Do you see this, lowly monster?"

"This is the price of betraying ’humanity’!"

"Taste it well—this feast of despair you invited with your own hands! Die with your sins!"

He pronounced judgment from high above, posturing as if he were a god controlling everything.

However, Whitebeard didn’t even give him a glance. To an Emperor of the Sea, Tendo was less than a bug. Those cold eagle eyes, boiling with endless killing intent, were fixed dead on the black wave of death rushing toward them.

"Pops, let me handle it!" Marco’s body flared with blue flames again, ready to transform into a Phoenix and rush into the enemy formation to burn a path.

"Count me in!" Jozu’s diamond fists cracked as he clenched them, his body already turning partially distinct.

"For our little sisters!" Vista’s twin swords were already unsheathed, flower petals drifting in the wind around him.

"Stand down."

Whitebeard’s hoarse voice cut through their eagerness. It carried an undeniable majesty.

He stepped forward alone, slowly. His footsteps were heavy, rhythmic. His burly body was like an insurmountable Wall of Sighs, standing before everyone and every monster!

Right at this moment!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!!

A terrifying vibration, a hundred times more violent than any before, came from the far horizon! The coffee in cups miles away rippled. Glass windows shattered from the frequency. It was as if some ancient beast was awakening from its slumber beneath the crust of the earth!

"W-What is that?!"

In the tavern at Foosha Village, Luffy watched the holographic projection, his eyes widening to saucers, and let out a terrified scream.

At the end of the image, behind the endless army of Gastrea, the earth bulged and burst. A shadow so massive it blocked out the sun slowly rose from beneath the earth, shaking off tons of soil and rock like dust!

It was indescribable—a giant scorpion composed entirely of pitch-black carapace, larger than a mountain!

Its two pincers were like giant guillotines capable of snapping mountain ranges in half! At the end of its high-arched tail, a stinger flashing with crimson light seemed ready to pierce the very sky!

Stage V Gastrea — [Scorpio]!

Hiss—!!!

Scorpio let out a piercing hiss that seemed to tear at the soul! It ignored its low-level kin that scurried like ants around its massive legs. Its massive eyes, composed of countless compound lenses reflecting a thousand fractured images of the city, locked dead onto the only remaining structure in the Tokyo Area standing hundreds of meters tall—the Monolith!

That was the symbol of humanity’s last hope! And Scorpio hated it.

In the next second, the stinger on Scorpio’s tail, flashing with ominous red light, suddenly lit up!

Hum—!

The sound was a deep bass thrum that vibrated in everyone’s chest. A crimson beam of light over ten meters in diameter, condensing destructive energy, shot toward the Monolith like a spear of the gods!

"Not good!"

In the dungeon world, Marco’s face changed drastically! He could feel that the energy contained in that beam was enough to evaporate this city instantly!

However, it was too late. And too fast!

BOOM—!!!!!!!!

Under the despairing gazes of the city’s survivors and everyone in the tavern, the crimson beam of destruction struck the center of the Monolith with pinpoint accuracy!

There was no earth-shattering explosion. Only a moment of deathly silence as the beam bored through the metal.

Then.

Crack... Crack, crack...

Visible cracks spread madly like a spiderweb across the indestructible body of the Monolith! The black metal groaned, a sound like a dying whale.

Finally, it shattered!

The monument of hope that had guarded humanity for ten years collapsed. It turned into dust and massive chunks of debris filling the sky in an instant!

The barrier was gone.

Countless black masses of Gastrea poured through the breach, breaking through the final restraint, surging toward the city center like a flood bursting a dam!

"Aaaaaah—!!!"

"It’s over! It’s all over!"

"The Guardian God... is broken..."

The citizens behind the barrier completely collapsed! The blood drained from their faces instantly, leaving only endless dullness and despair! Countless Self-Defense Force soldiers, upon seeing the mythical beast-like Scorpio towering over the skyline, lost even the courage to fire their guns. They threw down their weapons, stripped off their helmets, and turned to run!

But they couldn’t outrun those bloodthirsty monsters! Sounds of tearing flesh, screams, and cries rose and fell in waves! The city was instantly reduced to a living hell!

"Haha... Hahahahahaha!"

On the high-rise, Tendo Kikunojo laughed until tears streamed down his face as he watched this apocalyptic scene!

"Destroy it! Destroy it all!"

"This is purification! The most perfect purification!"

He was dancing on the edge of the abyss, completely consumed by madness!

Amidst the ruins, the children who had just seen a glimmer of hope were once again swallowed by immense fear. The shadow of the giant scorpion loomed over them. Their small hands gripped Whitebeard’s pant legs tightly, their tiny bodies shaking like leaves in the wind.

"Father... Lord..."

Aihara Enju looked up, her ruby-like eyes filled with tears and helplessness. "It’s too big..."

However, what greeted her was not comfort.

It was a roar of laughter so heroic, so defiant, and so deafening it seemed ready to overturn the sky!

"Gurararara—!!!"

Whitebeard laughed toward the heavens, the earth trembling violently with his voice! He didn’t look at the monster with fear; he looked at it with contempt. He slowly looked down at his daughters, who were like frightened little animals at his feet. Those eagle-like eyes were filled with a pride that looked down upon the world!

"Is this despair already?"

"Gurararara... Brats, open your eyes wide for me!"

"Watch closely!"

"This... is what true ’Power’ looks like!!!"

As his voice fell, Whitebeard suddenly took a step forward!

He didn’t swing Murakumogiri. Instead, he dropped the weapon and clenched his right hand. He raised that massive fist, capable of crushing islands, high into the air!

Hum—!

The air distorted. A layer of dazzling, white, glass-like halos instantly wrapped around his fist! It was a sphere of concentrated vibration, a bubble of pure kinetic energy. It was the symbol of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit’s power being pushed to the extreme!

"Gurararara..."

"Let this rotten earth tremble under my rage!"

He punched out violently toward the endless wave of monsters and the towering Scorpio ahead! He punched the very air itself!

BOOM—!!!!

There was no sound!

The entire world seemed to hit the mute button at that moment!

Centering on Whitebeard’s fist, the atmosphere shattered! The space in front of him cracked like a mirror being struck by a sledgehammer!

A pure white, destructive spherical shockwave expanded madly forward at a speed surpassing light! The air compressed and detonated!

Wherever it passed!

Whether it was the hideous monsters or the sturdy buildings! Whether it was the fleeing crowd or the laughing Tendo!

Everything, absolutely everything, was silently... decomposed and annihilated within that pure white light! The very fabric of the world seemed to be rewritten by the vibration!

—————

Foosha Village — Partys Bar

The screen of the holographic projection was completely drowned out by a blinding white light the moment Whitebeard threw his punch! The projection flickered and hissed, unable to render the sheer magnitude of the energy.

Zzzzt... Zzzzt...

The entire tavern was dead silent. Mouths hung open. Everyone was so shaken by the world-destroying power contained in that punch that their scalps went numb, unable to speak!

Only the crunch of a senbei being chewed could still be heard.

However, in the next second, the crunching stopped too.

In the Marine camp, Garp slowly lowered the bag of senbei he had eaten halfway through. The playfulness and amusement on his face vanished without a trace. His eyes narrowed, sharp and dangerous. Replacing the goofy grandfather was the "Hero of the Marines."

He looked at the snow-white screen and spoke slowly, his voice hoarse.

"That guy Newgate..."

"He’s getting serious."
