Chapter 184: Chapter 184: The Thunderous Fireworks That Shook the World!
New World, Dressrosa!
At this moment, in mid-air.
Navy Fleet Admiral Akainu, was knocked back by Shiro, the Supreme Commander of the Central Authority, with a single punch, looking utterly defeated.
In the next instant, as the sound of rolling thunder filled the air, Shiro's cold voice echoed throughout the kingdom of Dressrosa.
In a deliberate move, Shiro ensured that this battle, destined to upend the world, was broadcast live to the entire ocean through a Visual Den Den Mushi.
All over the Kingdom of Dressrosa,
The citizens were watching this grand scene unfold before their eyes. They witnessed the once-unstoppable forces of the World Government being defeated step by step by the army of the Central Authority.
Even Akainu, who had sworn to uphold absolute justice, was beaten back by Shiro, the young man who created the Central Authority, in a single exchange.
The powerful World Government army continued to fall back under the relentless onslaught of Shiro's forces.
These powerful and vivid images sent shockwaves through the hearts of millions.
"Could it be that the World Government is not invincible after all?"
"Is it possible to take down even the Celestial Dragons if you are strong enough?!"
"Has this sea finally reached the dawn of a new era!?"
"You arrogant brat, don't get too excited, Shiro! In the end, you're just a kid! You have no idea how powerful the Celestial Dragons are! No one can defy the gods in this world!"
At this moment, Kong, the Commander-in-Chief of the World Government forces, glared at Shiro, his face twisted in fury, his eyes filled with both shock and a hint of fear.
There was no doubt about it. Shiro, the young man who single-handedly established the Central Authority, was the most formidable enemy the World Government had ever faced. Not even the Pirate King Gol D. Roger or Rocks D. Xebec posed such a threat!
But despite the fear creeping into his heart, Kong showed no signs of panic. He knew that the World Government still had untapped power, and even now, the Five Elders had yet to make a move.
The Celestial Dragons dared to call themselves the gods of this world, not because of some meaningless titles!
"Oh? Even in this situation, you still have faith in the Celestial Dragons? You really are loyal to the World Government."
High above the battlefield, Shiro stood strong, suppressing the entire World Government army with his overwhelming presence. Even the mighty Four Emperors could only stand aside.
Whitebeard, now returned to his peak strength, stood behind Shiro, wielding his supreme-grade sword, Murakumogiri, with a smile on his face.
At that moment, the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock and Nico Robin looked at Shiro's powerful figure, their eyes misty with tears.
Not long ago, Shiro was just a Navy Rear Admiral, hunted for killing a Celestial Dragon.
But now, in the world of pirates, who could stand as Shiro's equal?
"You arrogant kid, I see through your plan! The World Government and the Celestial Dragons are not as easy to overthrow as you think! You'd better retreat while you can, or your Central Authority will be utterly destroyed!"
After Kong was pushed back by Shiro, Sengoku, stepped forward once more, though his expression had changed.
As a seasoned Navy soldier, Sengoku had never once considered that the World Government could fall to any force.
Even the Revolutionary Army was allowed to exist due to the complex reasons tied to the World Government's schemes.
But now, for the first time, he could see the glimmer of a new dawn on the horizon. He trusted in Shiro's sense of justice but knew it was still too early.
With time, Shiro's strength would only grow, and when the legendary Sun God returned, that would truly mark the dawn of a new era!
"Ha ha ha! Sengoku, Garp, I respect you both as battle-hardened soldiers, but you fear the World Government too much!"
Shiro's voice boomed across the sea, his words resonating with all who heard them.
He had slain Celestial Dragons, disrupted the Marineford War, and nearly single-handedly created the Central Authority, becoming the greatest threat to the World Government in centuries.
"But in reality, what you truly fear isn't the World Government—it's the Celestial Dragons! Everyone in this world views them as untouchable deities!"
"But the truth is, these so-called gods, these Celestial Dragons, are nothing more than self-important garbage!"
"Now, let me, on behalf of the Central Authority, break this world's chains of fear surrounding the Celestial Dragons!"
At that moment, Shiro stood tall in the sky, his formidable presence lighting up the world.
"What are you going to do, Shiro!?" Kong roared in anger, a terrible premonition gripping him as he tried to rush forward, only to be stopped by Kuzan, a top officer of the Central Authority.
"Enel!"
With a thunderous rumble, as soon as Shiro called his name, Enel, the God of Thunder, vanished from sight.
The next moment, billions of lightning bolts descended upon Mary Geoise, the so-called Holy Land of the Celestial Dragons.
Holding the Thunder Staff, forged by Enel himself, Shiro seemed like a god incarnate.
"You've collected the Heavenly Tribute for years, Celestial Dragons. Now it's time for you to pay the price!"
Shiro's eyes blazed with cold thunder as he recalled how, in the past ten days, most of the Heavenly Tribute had been replaced with special gifts he had prepared for Mary Geoise.
A firework display like the world had never seen before!
As the billions of lightning bolts exploded across Mary Geoise, the fear that the world held for the Celestial Dragons began to crumble.
Soon, under the eyes of the entire world, Shiro raised his Thunder Staff high.
As Kong and Akainu watched in terror, the Thunder Staff fell.
A colossal explosion of lightning struck the summit of the Red Line.
In that instant, the entire sea trembled.
The Holy Land of Mary Geoise, home of the Celestial Dragons, was engulfed in a storm of thunder and lightning.
Every soul, whether pirate, Navy, or civilian, was shaken to their core.
On this day, the fireworks of Mary Geoise's destruction illuminated the entire ocean.
And with that, the fear of the Celestial Dragons that had gripped the world for centuries was finally broken!
