The world stood in terrifying silence.
Everyone was anticipating the reaction of the god they had angered.
They killed his followers… destroyed his cities… they thought they had extinguished his flames.
But they did not understand yet…
They had ignited a hell that could never be quenched.
---
In a single moment, the sky changed its color.
In the East Blue… the West Blue… the North Blue… the South Blue…
And from areas in the New World…
Pillars of smoke exploded into the sky!
It was not ordinary smoke…
It was dense, ominous, majestic…
In the East Blue, villagers saw pure white smoke rising into the sky, as if angry spirits were screaming for vengeance.
In the West Blue, red smoke covered the sky, as if the sea itself had caught fire.
In the North Blue, the smoke was black as night, deep and impenetrable.
But in the South Blue, the greatest mixture emerged… white, red, and black swirling in the sky like a storm of fury.
The entire world became shrouded in smoke.
But what happened next…
Was something no one had ever imagined.
---
From the heart of that colossal smoke, terrifying shapes began to form.
At first, they were just dark, eerie shadows, as if something was emerging from the depths of hell itself.
Then… everyone saw them clearly.
Millions of gigantic swords!
Each sword was the size of an entire island!
Smoke swords, but stronger than any weapon the world had ever known.
These swords began to hover in the sky, as if preparing to strike their target.
Everyone in the world raised their heads, staring at the sky in fear.
The Navy… the Revolutionaries… the Pirates… the civilians… the governments…
Everyone, without exception, felt the same terror.
But those who were struck by absolute panic…
Were the Celestial Dragons!
In Mary Geoise, the holy nobles trembled in fear.
One of them collapsed to his knees, unable to breathe.
Another began to scream, his face pale as death.
Even the most powerful Celestial Dragons… could not hide their absolute fear.
But it was not over yet.
Because the sky was about to give birth to something even more terrifying.
---
From among those colossal swords, something greater began to emerge.
At first, it was just a massive black shadow, its features indistinguishable.
But soon…
The whole world saw it clearly.
A legendary dragon… made of smoke!
But this was no ordinary dragon…
It was larger than ten continents combined!
Its body was shrouded in black and red smoke, as if it was a mass of pure fury.
Its eyes blazed with crimson flames, staring down at the world like a harbinger of doom.
When people looked at the sky, they saw it stretching across the entire world.
Its head alone covered half the sky.
If any human raised their head, no matter where they were in the world…
They would see this monstrous entity looming above them.
It was as if it was declaring:
"I am here… and true justice is coming."
In the heart of Mary Geoise…
Fear had reached its peak.
---
"T-This… is impossible…"
One of the holy nobles stammered as he gazed at the sky.
"This… cannot be real!"
Another was weeping like a child, clutching his trembling robes.
Even the most powerful Celestial Dragons… could not conceal their absolute terror.
In the Gorosei's palace, the highest leaders of the world stared at the spectacle.
Even they… who had ruled the world for centuries…
Felt something they had never known before.
True fear.
"How can something like this exist?"
"He… is no longer human…"
"He is a monster… He is a divine catastrophe!"
But suddenly…
Everyone heard a voice echo across the horizon.
A voice that was not just a cry, but a decree, as if announcing the end of the world.
"MARRIJOA…!"
It was Smoker's voice.
And his words were a sentence of death.
---
In one single moment…
The colossal smoke swords moved!
They descended from the sky like divine lightning bolts, aimed at Mary Geoise, Sabaody, and the surrounding regions!
When the first sword struck the ground…
The continents themselves trembled!
The holy walls collapsed, the palaces of the Celestial Dragons crumbled, and stones flew like paper in a storm.
A deafening explosion echoed across the sky!
But there was no fire or flame…
The smoke itself burned everything it touched.
---
The End… or Just the Beginning?
The entire world stood stunned.
Mary Geoise, the city that had ruled the world for eight hundred years…
Was crumbling before everyone's eyes.
But the real question
was…
Is this just the beginning?
Or had Smoker not finished yet?
What would the undefeated god do next?
And could the world survive this black day?
What would happen next?
