When Whitebeard unleashed his quake attacks on the monsters in Totto Land earlier, it caused the surrounding seas to tremble violently.
Now, he focused his quakes directly on the ocean surface.
The result was an incredibly high-frequency vibration rippling through the entire sea.
Not just the surface—even the deep ocean floor was quaking alongside it.
In that instant, countless massive waves surged upward.
"Hmph."
Whitebeard extended both arms, gripping the air as if holding onto something, then slowly pulled down.
With his movement, monstrous waves surged behind him, escalating into an apocalyptic tsunami.
"What is Whitebeard trying to do?!"
Aokiji cried out while staring at the screen.
"It's coming! That move… the power to destroy the world!"
Sengoku's expression shifted dramatically as he shouted in shock, a deep terror welling up from his heart.
He remembered well just how terrifying Whitebeard could be.
Even though Whitebeard seemed to be grabbing at empty air, it was as if something real was in his grasp—and he was yanking it down with tremendous force.
With each downward pull, the tsunami's frequency grew fiercer, and even the land beneath his feet trembled violently.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!
Several islands within the Totto Land archipelago began to rise inexplicably, as if pushed upward by the monstrous waves.
"AAAAAHHH!!"
Whitebeard let out a thunderous roar, black lightning erupting violently from his body and exploding around him.
Ace and Marco were forced to keep dodging—the lightning was from his Haoshoku Haki, and getting hit by it would be devastating even for them.
As Whitebeard powered up, the tsunami's scale expanded even further. Not only Totto Land, but islands in the far distance were affected as well—the sea level continued rising, submerging more and more land.
Under the force of the titanic waves, the raised islands kept rising higher.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
At that moment, a massive horde of monsters—ranging from several hundred to over a thousand meters tall—began advancing toward Whitebeard.
They had realized he was the one responsible for the earlier attack and now sought to eliminate him.
Trailing behind them was a fresh wave of monsters that had just emerged from the Blood Pool.
The monsters unleashed countless long-range attacks aimed at Whitebeard.
"You won't hurt Pops!"
Ace and Marco leapt in front of Whitebeard, erupting in flames and forming walls of fire to block the barrage of ranged attacks.
"Heh… you're here, huh? Good. I've got a gift for you. Don't underestimate this world!"
With a smirk, Whitebeard brought his arms down with full force.
In that instant, the lifted islands flipped over and came crashing down toward the monster horde and the Blood Pool.
"Get back!!"
Whitebeard roared.
Marco immediately transformed into his phoenix form, and Whitebeard leapt onto his back.
Ace's arms turned to wings of flame, and he took flight.
As they rose above the ground and ascended into the sky—
The falling islands smashed down onto the land and the monsters below.
One island is already unimaginably heavy.
Even the smallest is a terrifying mass.
Now imagine several of them combined.
The impact of crashing island upon island was incalculable.
The resulting shockwaves resounded for miles—any normal person hearing it would have their eardrums ruptured.
The tremors shook even the air above.
And the already turbulent sea erupted into even greater tsunamis!
Totto Land, already fractured from Whitebeard's previous quake attack, was now disintegrating completely. The once-whole archipelago splintered into countless pieces.
The horde of endless monsters was buried under the crashing islands.
Where once lay a prosperous Totto Land, now nothing remained but death.
Some of the islands had been flipped atop others—nothing below could be seen but jagged stone and ruin.
As for the remaining islands—even those not directly struck were devastated by the explosive shockwaves and drowned by massive waves.
With his own two hands, Whitebeard had not only slain hordes of monsters—he had destroyed an entire island chain.
Such was the power of the strongest man in the world.
"Huff… huff… it's been so long since I went all out like this…"
Whitebeard, utterly exhausted, crouched on Marco's back. His stamina and Haki were nearly depleted.
"Pops… this is your full strength? That's insane!"
Ace, seeing this technique for the first time, was stunned beyond belief.
Marco was the same. Despite having followed Whitebeard for years, this was his first time witnessing such full-power might.
"So… does this mean it's over?"
Marco swallowed hard and asked cautiously.
"Heh… if only it were that simple."
Whitebeard gave a wry smile.
...
Onboard the Thousand Sunny near Skull Island—
The Straw Hats were all dumbfounded by Whitebeard's power.
"So strong! He even used islands as weapons!"
Sanji was so shocked he couldn't keep his cigarette in his mouth.
"This is terrifying! This is the man second only to the Pirate King?!"
Usopp was shaking, his eyes soaked with tears.
"He didn't even use any rewards… that's just his raw power!"
Nami dropped to her knees, unable to stay standing.
"So strong… this is the strength of the man closest to becoming the Pirate King."
Luffy stared at Whitebeard, full of awe.
Maybe Whitebeard didn't look as flashy as Son Goku or the Ultramen…
But in the world of pirates, he was absolutely the undisputed strongest!
BUZZZZZZZZZ!!!
Suddenly, rumbling echoed once again across the shattered remains of Totto Land.
One of the massive islands that had fallen earlier began to rise again.
Looking closely, it was the thousand-meter-tall monster—the one with a head and arms that were all faces—the same one that devoured Big Mom. It was lifting the island.
And it wasn't alone.
Other monsters over 800 meters tall also began lifting or pushing islands aside.
They were the only ones who could endure Whitebeard's terrifying attacks unscathed.
As the islands were pushed aside and submerged into the sea, the Blood Pool came into view again—more monsters were still emerging from it.
"No way! They're this powerful?! Pops had to go all out just to throw islands… and they're lifting them like it's nothing?!"
Ace stared in disbelief, unable to accept what he was seeing.
Marco didn't say anything, but his wide-eyed expression betrayed his thoughts.
"As expected… my power alone isn't enough to deal with monsters on this level."
Whitebeard sighed in frustration. This outcome was within his expectations.
When he saw Big Mom reduced to food and devoured, he knew already—there was no way he could defeat these monsters.
