All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

On the nautical chart, the location of Marineford is covered by a huge symbol representing the sacred tree.

"Based on the latest intelligence and Sabo's reconnaissance,"

The dragon pointed to the sea chart, his voice low and solemn.

"The roots of the divine tree have penetrated deep into the Red Earth Continent, and the area covered by its canopy is constantly expanding, forming a powerful energy field."

Conventional methods are almost ineffective in getting close to the core. Madara Uchiha himself is stationed at the treetop, and the range of his perception is immeasurable.

The main force of the Heavenly Court's Fighting Division, along with the subsequent governing legions, were stationed in a heavily fortified camp within the ruins protected by the divine tree's energy field.

"We only have one chance."

Shanks replied, his fingertip tracing an arc on the nautical chart.

"At dawn, the fog is thickest and visibility is lowest. It is also the time when the energy field of the divine tree may produce a slight fluctuation during the transition from day to night."

"We, a few of our top fighters, will form a 'spearhead' to forcefully tear open the energy field and head straight for the main trunk of the divine tree! This will create an opportunity for the main force to follow!"

"The remaining naval gunboats and Devil Fruit users with long-range abilities,"

A former naval vice admiral with a scar on his face said in a deep voice,

"They will be responsible for suppressing the Heavenly Court's garrison at the outer camps with firepower, and restraining their fighting forces."

"The Revolutionary Army's infiltration forces and some individuals skilled in stealth,"

Sabo (General Staff of the Revolutionary Army) added,

"We will simultaneously infiltrate and disrupt their command centers and logistical supplies, creating chaos!"

"The remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates..."

Marco's voice was filled with sorrow and resolve.

"We will be responsible for intercepting any potential high-level enemy reinforcements! Buying time for 'Spearhead'!"

Garp stood with his arms crossed in the shadows, silent as a rock.

He stared at the sacred tree symbol on the nautical chart, his white beard trembling slightly.

He lost his beloved grandson Ace (as he thought), and now he has to watch another grandson, Luffy, charge towards an enemy even more terrifying than the Navy... while he himself, as a hero of the Navy, stands on the side of the rebels.

Complex emotions surged within him, eventually transforming into a heavy sigh that dissipated into the thick fog.

"This battle,"

The dragon's gaze swept across every face present. These faces, once opposed to each other, even fighting to the death, were now united by the same world-ending crisis.

"Not for revenge, not for power, but for survival! To prevent our world from being drained of its last breath by otherworldly demons! For the future... so that people can still set sail and pursue their own 'ONE PIECE'!"

He clenched his fist tightly: "For freedom! For our world! At dawn—attack!"

The command, like invisible ripples, spread throughout the vast Combined Fleet via encrypted Den Den Mushi. Countless eyes shone through the thick fog, bloodshot and burning with a death wish.

The cannons silently adjusted their direction in the darkness, the ability users silently gathered their power, and the warriors gripped their weapons tightly.

The air was taut to the extreme, with only the sound of waves gently lapping against the ship's side, like the world's last breath before it trembled.

……

Marineford, at the heart of the ruins.

The towering tree emitted a dark purple light in the night, its enormous canopy blocking out the sky and the moon, like a cold and massive canopy.

Countless thick roots, like dark purple pythons, burrowed deep into the red earth continent, greedily sucking up nutrients.

Visible to the naked eye, the pale blue energy flow, like a slender stream, was forcibly extracted from the land and even the air from all directions, flowing into the writhing root system and finally being transported to the divine tree itself.

The entire giant tree thus emitted an eerie yet powerful pulse, each pulse causing the surrounding ruins to tremble slightly and the air to emit a low hum.

At the top of the tree canopy, Madara Uchiha sat cross-legged in the void.

His black hair was swept back by the breeze formed by the energy of the divine tree, revealing his cold, sculpted profile.

The crimson Rinnegan gazed indifferently down below.

The former battlefield ruins are now covered by a nascent, cold "nest".

Centered on the sacred tree, countless white buildings with uniform style and sharp lines spread out like a fungal carpet, replacing the broken walls and ruins.

The streets are laid out in a straight line, like a chessboard, devoid of any life.

On the towering watchtower, a huge crystal emitted a beam of eerie blue light, coldly sweeping over the surrounding sea and sky.

Clad in black armor, the puppet soldiers moved stiffly and uniformly, like ghosts, silently patrolling the streets and police lines.

The celestial officials, dressed in uniform robes, hurried through the brightly lit government hall, processing the documents and data that poured in like a river from the islands that had submitted to them from all over the world.

The entire camp was efficient, cold, and strictly ordered, exuding an inhuman, machine-like aura.

Ban's gaze pierced through the night, landing on the distant, boundless sea shrouded in thick fog.

His senses, like an invisible spiderweb, had already captured the intense malice, fear, anger, and...determination emanating from countless souls deep within that sea, like a volcano about to erupt.

"The gathering of ants...a futile struggle."

Ban's lips moved slightly, uttering cold words that could only be heard by himself in the silent treetop.

He didn't even have the slightest interest in making a move.

Below, in the Heavenly Court's Battle Division, those "whetstones" that have fused the power of two worlds, and the divine tree itself that is rapidly analyzing the rules of this world, are enough to crush any reckless resistance.

His gaze returned to the divine tree itself. At the very core of the canopy, at the node where countless energy veins converged, a strange light was quietly being conceived and growing stronger.

That was the prototype of a "fruit"!

It is not hanging from the branches, but is formed by pure energy condensing at the core node inside the canopy.

At this moment, it was just a fist-sized, constantly twisting and changing ball of light, its form extremely unstable. Sometimes it resembled a burning flame (Flame-Flame Fruit?), sometimes it transformed into flowing lava (Magma-Magma Fruit?), sometimes it became flashing lightning (Rumble-Rumble Fruit?), and occasionally it even conjured tiny, struggling humanoid phantoms (Soul-Soul Fruit?)...

Countless fragments of light and shadow, representing the unique rules of the One Piece world—the origin of Devil Fruits—flickered, collided, and attempted to merge within that ball of light, only to be forcibly dismantled, devoured, and reconstructed by the higher-level analytical power of the Divine Tree!

The ball of light emitted an indescribable, chaotic yet powerful fluctuation of rules.

It greedily absorbed the world's primordial power gathered from countless roots below, absorbed the fragments of domineering mysteries analyzed by the divine tree, and also absorbed... the "devil" marks left in the world after the fall of those once powerful Devil Fruit users on this battlefield!

This fruit, which is still growing, is the fruit of plunder!

It is the product of the core rules of this world being violently dismantled and forcibly merged!

This is the most direct and cruel manifestation of the Uchiha clan's philosophy of "analyzing all worlds and making them their own" in this world!

In Madara's Rinnegan, the distorted and ever-changing fruit's nascent form was reflected, revealing a cold light that was almost "appreciative".

He could clearly "see" that among the energy and rule fragments that formed the prototype of this fruit, there was the violent and destructive will of that lava man (Akainu), the immense power fragments of that space-shaking old man (Whitebeard), the traces of the speed law of that flashing man (Kizaru)... and even a trace of the life essence of that straw hat boy (Luffy), as tough and elastic as rubber!

Once this fruit matures, the power of its rules will far surpass any single Devil Fruit in this world!

It will be the key for the Great Luo Heavenly Court to completely control and use the power of this realm's origin to nourish itself!

The night wind blew through the huge leaves of the sacred tree, producing a low hum like metal scraping together.

The cold, celestial camp below continued to operate efficiently, while in the distance, the rebel fleet gathered its last ounce of fury in the thick fog.

At the very top of the treetop, the nascent Devil Fruit, forcibly fused and twisted by countless plundered fragments of rules, throbbed silently in the dim purple light, like a strange and evil heart formed from the blood of the world and the tears of all living beings.

Dawn was approaching, and the fog was as thick as ink.

Where the sea meets the sky, a barely perceptible sliver of dawn is struggling to tear through the thick darkness that shrouds the world.

Chapter 268, The Resurgence of the World's Will

The thick fog before dawn was ignited by boiling murderous intent.

"For freedom—!!!"

The deafening roar, like a tsunami, tore through the deathly silence above the ruins of Marineford.

The thick fog was forcibly torn apart by countless cannon fire, slashes, flames, ice, lasers, and the energy torrents bursting forth from burning life!

Like a desperate beast breaking free from its cage, the combined fleet, driven by a madness that would destroy itself rather than let the enemy be destroyed, launched a desperate charge toward the towering divine tree that emitted a ghostly purple light!

"Fire!!!"

The surviving vice admiral roared with bloodshot eyes.

The broken warships spewed their last fury from their cannons, carrying with them the desperate will of the marines, forming a torrent of steel and fire that crashed into the cold, imposing white camp and the patrolling puppet soldiers on the outskirts of the Divine Tree!

"Rubber, rubber—Giant Elephant Gun!!!"

Luffy's figure swelled to its limit at the bow of the Thousand Sunny, and his giant fist, wrapped in black flowing cherry blossoms and boiling Conqueror's Haki, smashed into the dark purple trunk of the Divine Tree as thick as a mountain range like a meteor!

Ace's "Emperor Flame Ring" followed closely behind, a giant ball of fire that burned everything, carrying with it the resolute determination of brothers united in heart!

Sabo's Dragon Claw Fist tore through the air, its target aimed directly at the roots of the Divine Tree!

"Gods, beware!"

Shanks' Griffin is drawn!

A dark red, domineering slash, condensed to its extreme, seemed to cleave space itself apart. It struck later but arrived faster than Luffy's giant fist, directly cleaving the crown of the Divine Tree!

He wants to sever that malignant tumor that is draining the world!

"Phoenix Seal!"

Marco transformed into a giant blue phoenix, carrying flames that burned away the soul, and pounced on Uchiha Madara, who was faintly visible beneath the tree canopy!

Joz roared, and his diamond body, covered in corrosion marks, burst forth with its last light, crashing into the roots of the divine tree like a dazzling comet!

Vista's broken sword unleashed the most dazzling "Cherry Blossom Falling" of his life, with sword energy surging like a tide!

The revolutionary army's assault teams, like phantoms, stormed into the edge of the camp under the cover of artillery fire, with the light of explosive talismans flashing everywhere!

At this moment, the strongest remaining force in the One Piece world abandoned all stances and hatred, burning their life, will, dreams, and rage into a world-destroying torrent, vowing to bury that blood-sucking demonic tree along with the icy heavenly court atop it!

Faced with this ultimate impact that could wipe any island on the Grand Line off the map, Madara Uchiha, hovering atop the Divine Tree, didn't even lift his eyelids.

"A cornered beast's struggle, noisy and disruptive."

The cold voice, though not loud, clearly drowned out all the noise of the battlefield, like ice piercing the soul of every charging soldier.

Just as Shanks's "God's Evasion" slash was about to touch the treetop, Luffy's giant fist was less than a hundred meters from the trunk, and Marco's blue flames were already scorching Madara's hair—

"Buzz!"
