One Piece: Supreme Check-In System-Chapter 77: The Sea Trembles, The Sky Weeps — The Azure Ocean Awakens
Chapter 77 - The Sea Trembles, The Sky Weeps — The Azure Ocean Awakens
The seas of the New World had always been unpredictable — violent waves and monstrous storms were as common as the rise and fall of the tides. But on this day, even by those chaotic standards, something unnatural gripped the horizon.
A giant shockwave spread across the ocean, shaking the water like a huge ripple in a pond. Far away, at the Voidreign Kingdom — the home of the powerful Voidreign Pirates — the people felt the ground rumble under their feet. Big waves crashed against the shores, and it felt like something huge and scary was waking up deep under the sea.
On a towering cliff that looking out at the endless horizon.
Dracule Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman, his cold yellow eyes scanning the horizon beneath his wide-brimmed hat.
And beside him, with a cloak billowing in the wind and his eternal smirk, stood Crocodile, the sandman of the Grand Line.
"The sky... it darkens." Mihawk muttered, his gaze narrowing.
A crack of thunder split the heavens. Black clouds rolled across the sky, swallowing the light. And then, like some apocalyptic vision, the unmistakable image took shape — a giant, colossal fist descending from the heavens.
Miles away, yet so massive it was visible from Voidreign's coast.
Civilians and pirates alike poured into the streets, eyes turned to the heavens. Children clung to their mothers. Merchants abandoned their stalls. Even seasoned warriors of the Void Knights raised their brows in alarm.
"Wh-what is that...?!"
"Is the world ending?! A giant fist from the sky?!"
"It's a disaster! The gods are angry!"
Even Crocodile's normally smug expression shifted.
"That thing's gonna trigger a tsunami when it hits. A wave that size will flatten the kingdom."
But standing quietly in the center of the city, leaning casually against a massive marble column, was Jessie — the man known as the Fifth Emperor of the Sea. The New World's most dangerous territory. Jessie watched the chaos without a flicker of concern.
Mihawk glanced toward him. "You don't look worried."
Jessie didn't move, his gaze fixed on the horizon.
"I'm not."
In the middle of Voidreign Kingdom, there was a giant tree called the Azure Ocean Tree. Its huge trunk looked like a mountain, glowing with a soft blue light, and its branches reached up into the heavens,
As the sea started to rise, a giant wave began to grow toward the city. The people got scared, not knowing what would happen next.
Even Crocodile raised a hand, sand swirling at his fingertips as he prepared to create a barrier of glass.
"I'll turn the shore into a wasteland if I have to. I'm not dying to a wave."
But Jessie lifted a hand.
"Don't. Someone's already moving."
Crocodile paused, his instincts making him obey against his will.
Suddenly, the big tree, the Azure Ocean Tree, glowed with golden light. Its giant leaves sparkled, and from its base, a huge wave of water grew to stop the giant wave heading toward the island of voidreign kingdom.
Two titanic walls of water surged toward each other — one born of disaster, the other of divine protection.
The collision shook the earth. A burst of mist and spray shot miles into the sky, eclipsing the sun.
When the water finally settled, Voidreign Kingdom still stood. The people, dumbfounded, stared at the horizon, realizing they had been spared.
"The king... the king protected us!"
"Long live the god of the Voidreign Pirates!"
Even Mihawk's sharp gaze softened.
Crocodile exhaled, lowering his hand.
"Now I understand why I'm scared of that tree, That cursed tree... it's the enemy of anyone who has a Devil Fruit power."
And then — a second, even more powerful sound split the air. Like the explosion of a thousand warships detonating at once. The heavens shook. The ground buckled. Birds took flight in great panicked clouds.
Even ten kilometers away, the sound hit like a hammer.
BOOOOOM
A wave of heat and wind rushed over Voidreign Kingdom, windows rattling, ships rocking in the harbor.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
Crocodile scowled, staring toward the now-distant battlefield.
"That... was no ordinary impact."
A figure emerged from the mist — Big News Morgans, panting as he rushed toward the gathering of legendary figures. The ever-curious journalist's feathers were disheveled, his beak open in disbelief.
"Wh-what's going on?! I saw it with my own eyes! A fist fell from the sky like a god's hammer! And then... that blast! What is happening out there?!"
Jessie remained silent, still leaning against his column, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
It was Crocodile who spoke.
"The battle of emperors," he growled, his cigar twitching. "Voidreign Pirates... against the so-called immortals."
Morgans paled. "Immortals...?..."
Mihawk's eyes flickered, narrowing.
"Wait."
He turned his head slightly, the edge of his hand touching the hilt of his black sword Yoru. He took a slow breath.
"I sense... a familiar sword aura."
A current of tension swept the gathered figures.
Mihawk's voice became softer. "it feels familiar"
Jessie straightened at last, the wind shifting around him.
"The real battle is starting now."
Crocodile raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
Jessie's eyes glinted like storm-tossed seas.
"Meruem. And one of the World Government second strongest Commander."
