Power smoking

The entire world was anticipating this war, but no one expected it to turn into something legendary, unprecedented in history.

In a single moment, as Whitebeard's earthquake clashed with the storm of black and white smoke, the very sky itself changed.

This was no mere naval battle—it was akin to a cosmic catastrophe threatening to reshape the natural order of the world.

The spreading smoke was not ordinary; it expanded at an insane speed, reaching all directions, surpassing Marineford's boundaries and penetrating the layers of the atmosphere.

Far from the battlefield, people began to sense something strange… The air grew heavier, and the sky gradually lost its blue hue.

Scientists in the Red Line started noticing an unnatural disturbance in the ozone layer, as if atmospheric pressure itself had changed due to this terrifying clash.

In Mary Geoise, where the Celestial Dragons resided in their luxurious palaces, they felt shortness of breath for the first time in their lives.

"What is happening?! Why has the air… become heavier?!"

But this… was only the beginning.

Whitebeard's Last Stand

Amidst the chaos, Whitebeard stood firm, though his body began to feel an unfamiliar weight.

"This is not normal…" he muttered under his breath.

The power of the smoke was not just affecting the environment—it was affecting bodies themselves.

The air was now filled with invisible particles of compressed smoke, making breathing difficult. Even the strongest pirates started to feel like their breath was being pulled away.

Marco, long considered the strongest after Whitebeard, fell to his knees suddenly, his chest rising and falling with difficulty.

"Impossible… Why… can't I… breathe?!"

Even Jozu, known for his unyielding toughness, felt his movement slow, as if the air itself had turned into a solid force restraining him.

As for Vista, renowned for his speed and swordsmanship, he found himself unable to move as swiftly as before.

But the decisive moment… had yet to come.

Suddenly, the smoke dragon formed by Smoker moved.

It extended one of its colossal hands toward Whitebeard, a hand as massive as an entire continent.

And before anyone could react… it crushed Whitebeard's body entirely!

The sound of bones breaking echoed across the battlefield. Blood gushed like waterfalls. But the most terrifying thing…

Was the silence that followed.

Every pirate, every marine, every spectator from afar—they all froze in place.

"…This… is impossible…"

"Whitebeard… was taken down… this easily?!"

Marco, who always relied on his Phoenix abilities, tried to move, but before he could, another gigantic smoky hand crushed him too!

In just a single moment…

Two of the world's strongest pirates had been completely neutralized.

Total Collapse – The End of the Whitebeard Pirates

With Whitebeard and Marco down, there was no longer any hope for the pirates.

Another giant hand formed—this time, carrying thousands of smoke-forged swords, each one larger than entire warships.

And then…

The swords rained down.

Every ship, every pirate, every person who stood against the Navy—was obliterated in a single strike.

Blood flooded the sea, and the sky became entirely shrouded in the black-and-white smoke clouds, making sunlight vanish completely.

In just five minutes…

The Whitebeard Pirates ceased to exist.

The Effects of the Smoke Fruit – A World in Chaos

Far from the battlefield, the effects of the legendary Smoke Fruit began manifesting in the environment.

In Sabaody Archipelago, people felt suffocated, and black rain began to fall from the sky.

In Impel Down, prisoners watched from their tiny windows, but even they noticed the air had changed.

The death toll began to rise—over 5,000 prisoners and jailers alike perished due to asphyxiation.

Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise, the Nobles of the World gathered in their palaces, their faces pale with terror.

"What kind of madness is this?!"

"Even here… even we… can feel the power of that battle?!"

But the biggest shock came when a notification appeared before Smoker.

Even the three Admirals standing beside Smoker could not hide their astonishment.

Kizaru smirked, saying: "Wow… what a terrifying display…"

But this time, his tone was genuine—for the first time in his life, he felt fear.

Akainu crossed his arms and muttered: "Looks like I need to reevaluate this man…"

Aokiji remained silent, but his cold and calculating gaze was fixated on Smoker, as if realizing that something new had begun.

The Birth of a New Era

With the Whitebeard Pirates completely annihilated, and with the deadly smoke expanding across the globe, everyone understood one thing…

"This is the new era."

There was no longer a place for the great pirates.

There was no longer anyone who could challenge the Navy.

Smoker stood atop the Marineford execution platform, gazing down upon the world from above, with the colossal smoke dragon still looming behind him, covering the sky completely.

Then, in a voice calm ye

t more powerful than any storm, he declared:

"Justice… has won."

And on that day…

The Great Pirate Era came to an end.
