"Heh heh heh, the most pitiful are the ignorant, who don't even realize they're about to die!" Tian Qi sneered, activating his Heavenly Dao ability. With the manipulation of Yin and Yang power, he slightly opened his hands, and a small black ball emitting a dark light appeared in his palms.
"He said we're about to die, could he be planning to use that little ball to attack us?"
"A little ball? Hahahaha... This is probably a toy of those three girls. This guy must have been scared out of his wits by having his toy taken out!"
...
Seeing Tianqi suddenly produce a small black ball, the more than 20,000 people immediately burst into laughter, saying all sorts of things.
However, Whitebeard frowned slightly as he looked at the black ball in Tian Qi's hand. Unlike those rabble, he could sense the terrifying energy contained in the black ball, and its power and destructive force would be considerable once it was unleashed.
"Laugh, laugh, this is your happy time. Next, you will face the judgment of the Supreme God!" Tian Qi glanced at the 20,000 people, then gently raised his right hand, and the black ball flew into the air. Everyone stared intently at the black ball.
"Planetary Explosion!" After the black sphere flew high into the sky, Tian Qi clapped his hands together, and a huge gravitational force was activated, causing the entire Coral Hill to tremble.
"Boom..."
As the black sphere's gravity activated, the massive tremor of Coral Hill caught many pirates and marines off guard. As the ground began to crack, many people fell flat on their faces, while only a few were able to remain standing.
"What's going on? Why is the island suddenly shaking?"
While everyone was still in a daze, the ground began to crack open on a large scale, and many reefs and corals began to disintegrate and float away from the ground, then slowly flew into the sky.
"Ah! What's going on? Why am I flying up out of control? Help! Help!"
As the gravity of the planet Earth-Shattering Star began to take effect, rocks and people alike were pulled by gravity and began to fly towards the black sphere in the sky. Large reefs were broken into pieces and flew upwards, while groups of pirates and marines flew uncontrollably into the sky.
At this moment, Tianqi also activated his repulsive force, enveloping himself within a ten-meter radius. This created a repulsive force opposite to the gravitational pull of the Earth Explosion Star in the sky, protecting Shanks and the others in the surrounding area.
"What kind of ability is this that can unleash such powerful gravity!" Whitebeard exclaimed as he watched a small black ball unleash such immense gravity, forcibly altering the terrain of Coral Hill. This ability was no less powerful than his Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
"Who exactly is this young man? I've never heard of him before. Conquering a pirate crew... Hmm, interesting!" After his initial shock, Whitebeard also showed great interest. It seemed that from this day forward, a powerful pirate crew would rise to prominence.
Fishman Island stared wide-eyed as they watched the stone slowly forming in the sky. Could such power really be achieved by humans?
Many junior pirates and marines were killed by the rocks while floating. Some slightly stronger individuals managed to dodge the rock attacks, but they still couldn't resist the suction force. Once they were sucked onto the rock ball and unable to move, they were still hit by flying rocks and lost their lives.
As the hundreds-of-meters-long Earth-Exploding Star took shape, the lives of more than 20,000 people were completely ended. The crater that appeared on the ground after Shanshanqiu was sucked away was quickly filled with seawater, forming a small lake, oh no... a sea.
Five navy men and five navy men were wandering around among them. These were the men Tianqi had deliberately left behind. He needed someone to spread the word about what happened today, otherwise everything he had done today would have been meaningless.
"Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Guidance!" Tian Qi looked at the few people frantically fleeing in the sea and used the Heavenly Dao's suction force to freeze them in place. Then he slowly walked over, stepping on the sea surface and walking step by step.
"He can actually walk on water?! How is that possible?!" The white-bearded group in the distance were also astonished to see Tian Qi walking on water. They knew that those who ate the Vicious Fruit would lose their ability to swim, let alone walk on water, while gaining magical powers.
Regardless of what Whitebeard and his crew thought, they couldn't understand how Tianqi could walk on water. They believed that Tianqi had eaten a Devil Fruit, and that someone who ate a Devil Fruit could walk on water—this ability was just as powerful as the impact of the giant rock in the sky.
"Monster, monster... Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
"This is definitely a monster! This is definitely a monster! Help!"
As Tianqi walked towards them, the pirates and marines screamed frantically, trying to escape. They paddled wildly with their hands and feet, but instead of escaping, they were drawn closer and closer to Tianqi by the pull of the Universal Heaven.
“Ignorant ants, I’ll let you off this time. Once you get off this island, tell everyone outside that Fishman Island is the territory of my conquered pirate crew. If anyone dares to cause trouble on my territory, the 20,000 people who died in the sky will suffer the same fate. Do you understand?” Tian Qi said coldly, his Rinnegan staring at the ten terrified people.
"Yes, yes, yes, we promise to pass on your message after we get out!" They nodded quickly to show they understood when Tianqi said he would let them go.
"Get out of here!" Tianqi shouted, immediately releasing the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Guidance and letting the group go. The ten pirates and marines immediately paddled ashore and fled without looking back.
"captain!"
At this moment, Shanks, Beckman, and Hancock all looked at Tianqi with admiration. With such a powerful captain, conquering the pirate crew might really mean conquering the entire sea. They were now completely convinced of their captain's abilities and had become his loyal fans.
However, just as Tianqi arrived in front of Shanks and the others, dozens of fishmen soldiers stormed in and surrounded them.
"You despicable pirates dare to cause trouble on Fishman Island! Today we're going to capture you all!" Seeing that there was no one else around, the fishman soldiers surrounded Tian Qi and his group, treating them as troublemaking pirates.
"Wait a minute!" A righteous voice suddenly rang out, and dozens more fishmen walked over. The leader was Jinbe, the knight of the sea, who would later become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Upon arriving in front of Tianqi and his group, Jinbe glanced at them a few times before fixing his gaze on Tianqi, clearly their leader. He asked casually, "Are you the pirates who caused trouble on Fishman Island?"
When Jinbe asked this question, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the huge stone sphere in the sky. He really didn't want these people in front of him to be the ones causing trouble. If this power was created by these people, Fishman Island wouldn't be able to resist it at all with its current strength. So he really didn't want these people to be the ones causing trouble.
Upon hearing Shanks' question, Shanks adjusted his straw hat. Beckman, Hancock, and the others remained silent; this was the captain's business, and it wasn't their place to speak yet.
"Boss Jinbe, wait a minute! Things aren't as you think. Let us explain!" The mermaids who had been rescued by Tianqi and his group swam over quickly and explained to Jinbe how Tianqi had saved them and eliminated the 20,000 rioters.
When Jinbe and his group of fish-man soldiers heard that Tianqi had wiped out tens of thousands of pirates and marines with a single move, they were stunned and stood frozen in place. Their gazes toward Tianqi changed, and some fish-men even took a few steps back in fear.
However, just as Jinbe and the others were at a loss, a blonde mermaid slowly walked over.
"Queen Otohime!" The fish-man soldiers made way for her, their faces full of respect. Indeed, this was Queen Otohime of the Dragon Palace, and the most loyal initiator of peaceful coexistence between fish-men, mermaids, and humans.
"Hello, I am Queen Otohime of the Dragon Palace of Fishman Island. First of all, I am very grateful for saving my people. I heard that you want to protect Fishman Island. Is that true?" After expressing her gratitude, Queen Otohime looked at Tianqi with anticipation.
She has always been advocating for peaceful coexistence between humans and fish-people, but humans have never been able to achieve this. However, today a group of humans who rescued the fish-people and were willing to coexist with them finally appeared. At this moment, Otohime is happier than anyone else.
