A slow, arrogant smile, one that looked down upon the world and regarded all things as worthless, slowly curved the corners of his mouth.

It was the indifference of a higher life form looking down on a lower world, the excitement of a conqueror stepping into a new hunting ground.

He slowly raised one hand, his five fingers spread, pointing it at the naval headquarters fortress below, which symbolized the world government's strongest military force, and the battlefield that brought together the world's top combat power.

His voice wasn't loud, yet it resonated like thunder from the heavens, clearly striking the depths of the souls of everyone still conscious, carrying an unquestionable, absolute will that reigns over all worlds:

"This realm shall be the territory of the Great Luo Heavenly Court. You mere ants..."

(Terrifying energy begins to gather in Madara's palm, and the space itself groans in agony as it struggles to cope!)

"Submit, or be destroyed!"

Chapter 263, Marineford War: After Divine Punishment

Madara Uchiha's declaration, as powerful as a thunderclap from the heavens—"Submit, or be destroyed!"—

Like the coldest flame, it instantly ignited the fuse between the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, a fuse lit by the concepts of "dignity" and "absolute justice."

"Utterly absurd!!!"

A furious roar erupted like thunder.

Sakazuki, the Red Dog, was violently spewing molten lava from his body. The crimson magma resembled boiling blood. His eyes were bloodshot with extreme anger and humiliation as he stared intently at the deep blue figure high in the sky.

"The World Government is the cornerstone of world order! The Navy's justice cannot be desecrated! How dare these mere otherworldly madmen presume to conquer?!"

"A massive fireball!!!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Akainu unleashed all the pent-up anger from Ace's escape and his hatred for "heretics" into this attack!

A colossal molten fist, blotting out the sky and carrying terrifyingly high temperatures that could incinerate everything and devastating impact, slammed into Uchiha Madara in the air!

The target is not only Madara, but also the divine tree passage behind him that connects to another world!

"Kuralalala! I don't know who you are, but if you want to dominate this sea, you'll have to ask my fists first!"

Whitebeard Newgate was also wary of these uninvited guests, but Akainu's attacks also included the Sky Rift, which made him unable to stand idly by.

His arms were bulging with muscles, and the Murakumo Cutter was wrapped in the aura of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. He swung it out violently to the air on both sides!

"Airquake!!!"

Om-! ! !

Two terrifying shockwaves, powerful enough to tear space apart, one a giant lava fist aimed at Akainu, and the other like an invisible giant hammer, slammed into Madara Uchiha and the spatial passage behind him!

This "world's strongest man" has chosen this moment to demonstrate his power to both sides simultaneously!

Ice Age!

Kuzan Aokiji reacted extremely quickly, his body exploding with extreme coldness, his target not in the air, but on the sea below!

He intended to freeze the entire bay amidst the chaos, cutting off the Whitebeard Pirates' retreat and limiting any unknown threats that might arise from the sea. The frigid ice spread rapidly at a visible pace.

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

Kizaru Borsalino's body transformed into countless photons, instantly appearing high in the sky. With his hands crossed, countless dazzling light bullets rained down like a storm, aimed directly at Uchiha Madara and the Senju Hashirama and others beside him!

Speed ​​is power; he intends to test his opponent's strength with a strike at the speed of light.

"Attack! Annihilate these invaders! For justice!!"

The golden Buddha statue of the Warring States Marshal roared with majesty and anger, its sound shaking the entire arena.

His enormous Buddha palm was gathering terrifying shockwaves, but he didn't unleash them immediately; he was waiting for the best opportunity and the most threatening target.

Hawkeye Mihawk's black sword "Night" was finally fully drawn, and his sharp gaze locked onto Hashirama Senju—the man who exuded a powerful life force and gave him the feeling of being as steady and heavy as a mountain.

A green sword aura, condensed to its fullest extent, tore through the sky and slashed towards Hashirama!

This is a test and a challenge from the world's greatest swordsman.

Doflamingo laughed maniacally, his fingers dancing wildly: "Fluffflufffluff! What a grand opening! Five-colored threads! String snap!!"

Countless sharp threads and ultra-high-speed projectiles shot towards Tsunade and Obito Uchiha, who had just landed, with a mixture of mockery and cruelty.

Although Empress Hancock was worried about Luffy, as a Shichibukai, she had to make a statement at this moment.

"The Captive's Arrow!"

The pink, petrified arrows shot towards Kikyo, who looked the most "delicate".

On the Marine Headquarters fortress, all the heavy cannons turned their muzzles, and the dense barrage of fire, like a steel torrent, covered the area where Uchiha Madara and his party landed and the space near the passage behind them!

The lieutenant generals, such as Onigumo, Doberman, and Strawberry, roared and charged toward Tobirama Senju, Itachi Uchiha, Ujiyasu Hojo, and others who had landed, their blades gleaming with a cold light and imbued with domineering aura.

The entire Marine Headquarters, along with some of the Shichibukai who were forced into involvement, regarded Uchiha Madara and his group as a "world-class threat" that was more important and more dangerous than the Whitebeard Pirates, and launched a devastating attack that was as loud as a tsunami!

Lava, shockwaves, ice, lasers, sword energy, threads, cannonballs, and domineering slashes... all sorts of powerful forces intertwine to form an apocalyptic scene capable of completely wiping out any individual or even an island!

"Hehehe, the struggle of ants only brings laughter!"

Faced with this concentrated attack that could destroy a country, Madara Uchiha merely let out a disdainful snort.

He didn't even make any defensive or evasive movements.

Just as Akainu's magma fist and Whitebeard's shockwave were about to touch his body—

hum! ! !

A pale purple, semi-transparent diamond-shaped light shield appeared out of thin air, steadily enveloping Uchiha Madara and the spatial passage entrance behind him that was not yet completely closed.

"Shinra Tensei".

Two words, spoken with a calmness bordering on indifference, came from Ban's mouth.

Boom-! ! ! !

An indescribable, terrifying repulsive force erupted indiscriminately in all directions from the center of Uchiha Madara in a spherical shape!

This is not an impact of air, but a repulsion of space itself at the level of its rules!

Akainu's devastating "Great Fire-Eating" magma fist was like tofu hitting an iron wall under this repulsive force, instantly exploding and rolling back, with magma raining down!

The shockwave of Whitebeard's "Airquake," powerful enough to tear space apart, collapsed like it had hit an invisible wall of sighs, less than ten meters from the light shield, without even causing a ripple!

The "Yasakani no Magatama" light bullets that Kizaru unleashed vanished silently upon contact with the repulsive field, just like soap bubbles in the sunlight!

Hawkeye's slashing sword energy, Doflamingo's silk thread bullets, Boa Hancock's prisoner arrows, and the overwhelming torrent of cannonballs... all attacks, whether energy or physical, whether high-speed or immense force, were completely decomposed, repelled, and annihilated the moment they came into contact with that pale purple repulsive field, as if they had been thrown into the sea by a mud ox!

The entire Marineford seemed to have been slammed down by an invisible giant hand!

The ground shook violently, and the ice and sea near the center of the attack were pressed into a huge circular dent!

"Wh...what?!"

Akainu's pupils dilated in shock as he watched in disbelief as his strongest attack was so easily neutralized.

"Even vibrations... are being rejected?!"

Whitebeard gripped the Murakumogiri tightly, his eyes filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

"Wow~ This ability... it's terrifying..."

Kizaru instantly transformed into his elemental form and flashed back to his original spot, the flippant tone completely disappearing.

Sengoku's heart sank to the bottom: This was beyond mere strength; it was absolute control over the very essence of power!

Madara Uchiha didn't even lift his eyelids. The terrifying energy in his palm, which made the space groan, didn't dissipate; instead, it was aimed at the Marine Headquarters fortress below, the symbol of the World Government's highest military stronghold!

"An eyesore."

laugh--! ! !

A purplish-black beam of light, more than ten meters in diameter and composed entirely of destructive energy, silently burst forth from Ban's palm!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the sharp shriek of space being scorched and torn apart by extreme energy!

Wherever the beam of light passes, the air, dust, and even the light itself are instantly evaporated!

Like a spear of death from hell, it disregarded distance, instantly traversed space, and accurately struck the magnificent and sturdy central main building of the Naval Headquarters fortress, a symbol of eight hundred years of authority!

Silent annihilation!

There was no explosion, no flash. The area directly struck by the purplish-black beam of light—whether it was the sturdy alloy walls, the thick rock foundation, or the marines and weapons that hadn't had time to evacuate…

The moment they came into contact with the beam of light, they were completely decomposed and disappeared, like pencil marks erased by an eraser!

A huge hole, tens of meters in diameter and with smooth, mirror-like edges, appeared instantly in the center of the fortress!

Sunlight streamed through the hole, illuminating the faces of the stunned naval officers behind them!

One strike! Just one strike!

The seemingly impregnable Marine Headquarters fortress, the heart of the World Government's absolute military power, was breached!

The defenses are as flimsy as paper!

"..."

The entire battlefield fell into an even deeper silence than before.

Fear, like a cold, venomous snake, coiled around the heart of everyone who witnessed this scene.

Madara Uchiha slowly lowered his hand, and the energy in his palm dissipated.

His crimson Rinnegan swept indifferently across the devastated battlefield below, where everyone's faces were filled with horror and despair. It swept over the Marine Admirals and Shichibukai who were on high alert, as well as the wounded but still determined Whitebeard.

There was no joy of victory in his eyes, only a deep-seated weariness and indifference towards lower beings.

"Hashirama."

Ban's voice was calm and even, yet it clearly reached the ears of every companion below.

"Clear away these... obstacles that don't even qualify as a warm-up."

"Let the warriors of the Doubu move! The creatures of this realm need to witness the majesty of the Heavenly Court. Let their blood and fire hone the sharpness of my Heavenly Army."

His figure slowly rose, eventually hovering beneath the phantom of the divine tree, high in the sky, guarding the passage between the two realms.

With his arms crossed and his black hair dancing in the turbulent air, his Rinnegan, like a cold star, overlooked the entire battlefield of Marineford.

That posture was like a god watching a gladiatorial contest on earth.

He no longer bothered to make a move.
