One Piece: Collective Viewing of the Future, Starting from God Valley

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Raising a Fist Against the “Gods”—Garp Couldn’t Hold Back Anymore!

...

Before Saint Shepherd Ju Peter could finish speaking, the sandworm’s massive body suddenly contracted, then sprang forward like a released spring. With even more violent momentum, it crashed straight toward Harald!

This time, it no longer targeted ordinary giant warriors—its goal was clearly to kill the Giant King!

”Truly... rotten luck!”

Harald gritted his teeth; the last trace of hesitation vanished from his eyes.

”BOOM!!!”

Two colossal beings collided with earth-shaking force! Harald’s giant sword smashed head-on against the sandworm’s armored, shell-covered head. The shockwave spread outward, causing yet more large-scale collapse and fracturing across the already devastated ground of God Valley.

Harald’s furious roar intertwined with the sandworm’s hissing. A battle belonging to titans—the most primal and violent form of contest—unfolded in all its shocking intensity.

”You all deserve to die!!!”

Saint Saturn saw Harald join the fray and engage fiercely with Saint Shepherd Ju Peter. He wanted to help but had no way to do so.

Under the relentless combined assault from Roger and Rocks, new horrifying wounds kept appearing across Saint Saturn’s body. Rage completely devoured his reason.

The writhing tentacles on his body suddenly changed color, turning into a heart-palpitating state that glowed with ominous purple-black light. They began whipping and piercing indiscriminately!

”Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!”

The tentacles moved at lightning speed, their poison ferociously potent. Whether pirates or nearby Marine soldiers—

Once even slightly pierced or grazed by these purple-black tentacles, victims instantly turned black in the face, foaming at the mouth, and died in extreme agony!

”Damn it! This bastard doesn’t even spare his own side?!”

Garp cursed aloud. Haki boiled around his iron fists as he shattered one poisonous tentacle after another that lashed toward the Marine formation.

But there were simply too many tentacles, and their attacks too cunning—plenty of Marine soldiers still screamed and fell.

”Garp! Calm down!”

Sengoku’s Great Buddha form slapped away several tentacles and urgently shouted.

He could see Garp’s emotions had reached the breaking point.

”To hell with calm!!”

Garp’s roar drowned out Sengoku’s voice.

He watched young Marines die painfully before his eyes. He watched Saint Saturn’s frenzied posture that treated all life with utter contempt!

The long-accumulated dissatisfaction and fury in Garp’s heart toward the Celestial Dragons and certain dark aspects of the World Government finally snapped the final string in his mind called ”the system.”

”Protecting subordinates is a superior officer’s duty! No matter who the bastard is who slaughters the innocent... I’ll smash him regardless!!!”

Before the roar even finished, Garp’s figure had already turned into a black blur.

Ignoring Sengoku and Tsuru’s shocked cries, ignoring the stunned gazes of Marines across the battlefield, he charged without hesitation straight toward Saint Saturn, who was still wildly unleashing poisonous tentacles!

And almost at the exact same moment, Roger—who shared a subtle rapport with Garp—along with Rocks, seized the opening Saint Saturn exposed in his rage!

”Divine Departure!”

Roger’s blade light, wrapped in the utmost extreme of Conqueror’s Haki, became an intangible yet undeniably real slash aimed straight at Saint Saturn’s chest!

”Abyssal Curse!”

Rocks gripped his sword in both hands. Extreme Haki condensed at this instant, the attack brimming with thick killing intent!

Right as the two launched their strikes, Garp—charging at maximum speed—poured all his rage, his love for his subordinates, and his most genuine commitment to justice into his right fist!

No fancy name—just the purest power and will!

”Fist Bone · Collision!!!”

Three top-tier forces, from three different directions, struck Saint Saturn’s Ox Demon form solidly in virtually the same millisecond!

Time froze for an instant.

Then...

”Pfft!!!”

Saint Saturn’s colossal body stiffened violently. All the purple-black tentacles went limp and drooped powerlessly.

Immediately afterward, unimaginable destructive power erupted simultaneously from within him!

First, countless spiderweb-like cracks spread across his surface. Purple-black blood gushed out like fountains from the fissures.

Then his body began disintegrating from the inside—tearing apart. The muffled sounds of shattering bones rang endlessly; massive chunks of flesh and tissue were directly annihilated or blasted away by the violent energy!

”Urrraaaaahhh!!!”

Saint Saturn let out an unprecedented scream—mingled with pain, fury, and utter disbelief.

His near-immortal regenerative ability appeared utterly pale and powerless against this triple world-ending assault!

His body was like a smashed porcelain vase, or rags torn apart by a storm—collapsing and shattering at terrifying speed!

”Garp!!!!”

Sengoku, Zephyr, and Tsuru all shouted in disbelief at the same time, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Behind them, countless Marine officers and soldiers froze in place, jaws dropped, staring in stunned silence at their beloved hero—the pillar of the Marines, Monkey D. Garp—who had just...

Who had just launched such a decisive, lethal attack against one of the Five Elders, the highest authority in the world!

After a brief, deathly silence.

”Sniff...”

”Vice Admiral Garp...”

”For us...”

It started with someone unknown, but soon low sobs spread through the Marine ranks like wildfire.

Tears blurred the faces of countless young Marines. They saw it—Vice Admiral Garp had acted to protect them, to avenge their fallen comrades. He had dared to defy authority and raise his fist against those lofty ”gods.”

This most straightforward, unadorned justice and protective heart—one that risked his own future and even his life—shook souls more deeply than any slogan and ignited blood more fiercely!

After the initial shock came indescribable emotion and a boiling surge of loyalty.

Many Marines gripped their weapons tightly.

They looked toward that figure in the dust—slowly retracting his fist, yet standing tall as a mountain—and their gazes turned utterly resolute.

For the rest of their lives, they would follow him!
