117. Ball Explodes!!

Amidst the chaos of battle,

Akainu let out a piercing scream that echoed across the battlefield. He found himself pinned to the ground by numerous arms coated in armament haki, rendering him immobile.

"Damn you! What do you think you're doing!" Akainu's furious voice was laced with fear.

As everyone watched on, could he possibly become a laughingstock for generations to come? This couldn't be happening...

No, he refused!

"Stop it you bloody bastard, I'm Marine Admiral, how can..." Akainu's voice trailed off as he clenched his teeth and strained with all his might, attempting to break free.

But the more he struggled, the tighter the grip became, with arms wrapping around him from all sides, leaving Akainu no chance of escape!

Meanwhile, in a peculiar building near the waterfront of the capital city...

Franky's two female companions, with hair resembling fly swatters, gasped in terror at the sight, covering their mouths and letting out a chilling scream.

"It's gonna be squashed!"

"Like picking grapes...!"

"It's gonna be squashed!"

"Like picking apples...!"

For some reason...

Their words echoed in the minds of people all over the world: images of grape-picking and apple-picking.

"Grapes...apples?"

"Why am I thinking about that kind of thing...?"

"What? Did that image pop into your head?"

This strange occurrence is happening all around the world!

However, just then!

A peculiar image of a cracked egg inexplicably appeared in their minds...

That sound seemed to echo in their ears.

And the eerie sensation of the "egg" pierced straight through the sky!

Above Marineford, Shanks, who was locked in combat with Kong, couldn't help but smirk.

"Oh? Cracked eggs in the air? This woman can actually manifest the traits of Ryou into its ultimate form..."

"Kong, seeing your underlings make such a spectacle while you stand helpless, that must sting, Dahahaha..."

"Bastard! Red-haired Shanks!"

Enraged by Shanks' taunts, Kong's tiger-like form trembled, letting out a roar filled with fury!

But before Kong could respond...

A mischievous laughter suddenly rang out above them.

"A dog with a lonely ball, what a chilling nickname, hahahaha."

Tom blinked, casting a glance at Al on the deck with a cute expression.

Then, he pointed at Akainu, lying on the ground with a pale face, and chuckled in a very human-like manner.

"A dog with a single testicle, hahahahaha~"

At this moment!

All eyes on the battlefield turned to Akainu, still pinned to the ground, with a mix of curiosity and uproar.

"Broken... seriously broken?"

Garp pushed back Diamond Jozu, his eyes widening as he stared at Akainu.

A chilling sensation crept up from the depths of his heart.

Redfield's expression darkened upon hearing Al's and Tom's mockery of "the single dog."

The disdainful and mocking gazes directed at Akainu were undeniable.

You see, Redfield's moniker is "Red the Aloof," but the reason for his solitude is because he is an orphan. (T/N: I don't know if it is true or not)

"Kid, if you're clueless about naming things, better not just pick one randomly!"

In the face of Redfield's enraged words, Tom didn't hesitate. He swiftly grabbed a loudspeaker with his backhand and shouted, "Orphaned dog!"

Instantly, the entire battlefield reverberated with Tom's sarcastic proclamation.

"A Orphaned dog!"

"A Orphaned dog!"

Looping the loudspeaker playback, Tom casually took out a cigarette from behind his backhand, took a couple of puffs, and raised an eyebrow.

Catching a glimpse of Tom from the corner of his eye, Redfield smirked wickedly and redirected his focus to Kong.

"So, Kong, what do you think of this little gift I've prepared for you?"

"You bastard!"

In the midst of the battlefield, with the mocking sound echoing endlessly, Akainu's resolve shattered completely.

"No, I refuse!"

With a roar of fury, Akainu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to contain his rage any longer.

Who is he?

The pinnacle of Marine's fighting force, the man who commands respect throughout the organization!

But now...

An orphaned dog?

To bear such a humiliating title before the eyes of the entire world?

The most infuriating part is...

Is that cursed phrase still on repeat?

"I'll kill every last one of you!"

Akainu clenched his teeth and bellowed in rage, his eyes gradually turning scarlet...

Seeing Akainu's determination to keep fighting, Robin swiftly summoned more arms coated in Armament Haki, firmly restraining him.

While keeping him pinned, she delivered a barrage of punches, releasing the pent-up hatred.

Watching Akainu in the midst of the battlefield being pummeled with relentless blows, Aokiji couldn't help but furrow his brow, his gaze towards Robin becoming increasingly nuanced...

"Did I make a mistake when I handed you over to them?"

"Never mind... just survive... just!"

Meanwhile...

At Sabaody Archipelago,

Observing Akainu's humiliating predicament,

Eustass Kid, who was spectating the scene, couldn't help but shiver slightly!

Even though several seconds had elapsed, the sharp cracking sound continued to replay in his mind.

This eerie sensation felt as if he were right there, experiencing it firsthand. Robin's power is terrifying!

"What a formidable woman. If I ever cross paths with her in the future, I'll do my best to avoid provoking her. I wouldn't want to..."

Before Kira could finish speaking, a slight twitch appeared at the corner of Kid's mouth as he gazed at the image on the screen, hesitating to respond...

"Kira...you..."

"Never mind, I'll overlook your attempt to provoke the enemy..."

On a nearby tree trunk, Capone Bege's cigar slipped from his mouth, the sound of an egg cracking echoing in his mind.

"It's truly... a devil..."

As Capone Bege's words trailed off, the surrounding supernovas lurking in the crowd simultaneously heard a voice in their minds.

"If you can avoid provocation, steer clear of that woman!"

Even if you might not die yourself...

It's hard to guarantee the same for society!!!

This ability is truly troublesome!

Clearly, today's events have left an indelible mark on their hearts...

Becoming an unforgettable shadow for a lifetime!

This scene not only left an enduring impression on the hearts of these supernovas...

Even the legendary pirate, Rayleigh, after witnessing the scene before him and hearing the cracking sound in his mind...

He couldn't help but pause for a moment, taking several sips of wine before slowly speaking:

"What a group of little monsters. I wonder what kind of changes they'll bring to the world..."

"Roger... Our era is truly coming to an end...

[Marine Admiral Akainu, reduced to an orphaned dog? Is this a distortion of humanity or a loss of morality?]

[The woman one must not provoke, the devil Nico Robin]

[The sorrow of the egg, how much do you understand? Tune in to the live broadcast and witness the sorrow of the Marine Admiral turned orphaned dog!]

[...]

In no time, countless reporters were feverishly spreading rumors about Akainu!

Simultaneously, on an island traversed atop a colossal sea turtle,

Gran Tesoro!

True to its name, it's a city glistening with gold.

As the city's ruler, Gild Tesoro,

He was initially reveling in the acquisition of Celestial Dragons, but now he was overcome with tears of joy...

After witnessing Akainu's downfall,

Tom's haunting words echoed incessantly in his mind, almost as if he had been hypnotized,

And his expression gradually stiffened.

"Should I... should I go to them and express gratitude, considering they dispatched that cursed Celestial Dragon..."

"But... encountering them so unexpectedly..."

Gild Tesoro sucked in a sharp breath, feeling goosebumps ripple across his body.

"This is indeed a question worth pondering!"

Meanwhile,

At Whole Cake Island,

The Sea Emperor, Charlotte Linlin, couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing Akainu's shattered image.

This might mark the first time in Marine history that an Admiral has completely lost their reputation as a Marine Admiral, not a single one of them!

Not only was it the peculiar taste of the Sea King revealed before, but now the shattered image...

"A dog with an single testicle, it's utterly absurd..."

"That man truly has a knack for naming things..."

Amidst the commotion on Cake Island,

"Apologies, Captain Al instructed me to detain him; you can't kill him just yet!"

The situation of the Summit War was further stirred by the appearance of a peculiar canine!

Unlike the imposing figures of the past, this dog didn't possess the slightest hint of physical prowess.

It appeared just like an ordinary dog!

Yet, how could such an unassuming dog dare to spout nonsense in front of the strongest individual in the world?

The entire world fell into stunned silence at the sight of Droopy's arrival!

Droopy was not seen with Al Pirates when they appeared.

As a result, no one mistook him for a member of the Al Pirates.

Furthermore, Droopy voice naturally carried a low pitch.

Amidst the chaos of the battlefield and beneath the din of Tom's loudspeaker, it was impossible to discern what Droopy was saying.

Seemingly aware of this issue, Droopy casually produced a larger loudspeaker from behind.

Clicking the switch, a booming voice immediately engulfed the entire battlefield.

"Everything must go! It's a clearance sale, folks! Take your pick, grab whatever you want, unbeatable bargains..."

"Click..."

Noticing Droopy mistake with the megaphone, he exchanged it with a blank expression from behind.

Shortly after, the cheery voice resumed.

"Apologies, but the captain tasked me with patrolling the mountain... Click... The captain instructed me to detain him, so you can't kill him, sir. If you do, it'll cause me quite the predicament, sir..."

With the roar of a loudspeaker, a furious Whitebeard bellowed:

"I don't care who you are, get out of here!"

"Teach, you've broken the most sacred rule on this ship. No matter who's shielding you today, you'll still meet your end here!"

"Die!!!"

Accompanied by Whitebeard's raging voice, two orbs of light condensed in his hands!

A terrifying aura of death engulfed the entire battlefield like a tidal wave!

Sengoku, in the form of a giant Buddha, furrowed his brow and raised his voice:

"Whitebeard, I won't allow you to destroy Marineford!"

However, in his rage, Whitebeard paid no heed to Sengoku; after all, there was still a considerable distance between them.

Moreover, Whitebeard's attack wasn't aimed in Sengoku's direction. If this strike landed, it would obliterate all of Marineford!

Confronted with such a devastating blow from Whitebeard, Blackbeard staggered and collapsed to the ground, howling in agony!

Meanwhile, Droopy remained unfazed, his expression calm as he issued another warning.

"Sir, you're not within my target range. I have no intention of harming you."

"Are you kidding me!"

As Whitebeard's voice echoed, countless cracks suddenly fractured the entire sky!
