One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 233: The End of the New World!

"Who...does he really think that detonating a few volcanoes can completely destroy the world?"

The white-bearded man stared intently at Chen Ye; he needed an explanation.

A reason that can convince him.

Even if a few volcanoes are destroyed, no matter how large the scale, it can be completely prevented by powerful individuals like them if they take precautions in advance.

It's harmless.

Chen Ye shook his head.

This interrupted Whitebeard's speculation!

"No."

Chen Ye's voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

"He certainly has the means to completely destroy the entire New World by destroying a few volcanoes."

For an instant.

Dead silence.

The entire room fell into dead silence.

Marco, Jozu, Vista, and the others stared in disbelief. Destroy the New World? How could anyone utter such a madman? Even Ancient Weapons only possess the "power to destroy the world," not something a madman would actually dare to do.

The white-bearded man's pupils shrank to pinpoints.

He wanted to find even the slightest trace of a joke on Chen Ye's face.

But he didn't.

Chen Ye's face was terrifyingly calm.

Those dark eyes held a serious expression.

Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of the crowd, Chen Ye stood up and walked to the enormous wooden table covered with a map of the new world. The flickering lamplight cast shadows on his face.

His finger landed on the nautical chart.

There are three hidden marks drawn in bright red ink on it.

Three points, distributed at the three extremes of the New World seas.

They are not far apart.

They were connected by an invisible thread.

Why are the climate and magnetic field of the New World so chaotic?

"Because of its geological structure, it is inherently unstable."

Chen Ye's voice was deep, as if he were telling an ancient secret.

"What holds this sea together and prevents it from falling apart are the three supervolcanoes at the deepest part of the seabed, which are connected to the Earth's core."

He paused, then uttered a word that none of the people present had ever heard before.

"They are referred to as end points by the Navy."

"End point?"

Marco repeated it, his voice tinged with doubt.

"That's right."

Chen Ye's finger touched the three red marks in turn.

"These three places are actually supervolcanoes, and they all contain huge lava lakes!"

He abruptly changed the subject, his voice taking on a metallic coldness.

"But what if Zephyr detonates these three locations from the inside simultaneously using 'Explosive Rock'..."

Chen Ye's voice stopped.

In the captain's cabin, only the increasingly heavy heartbeat and the terrifying waves outside the window remained.

Everyone is waiting.

Waiting for that most terrifying answer.

Chen Ye raised his eyes and swept them over the distorted faces.

He gave the answer.

"...The balance of the Earth's crust will be disrupted, and the entire New World's tectonic plates will collapse in a chain reaction. The lava eruptions from the three terminal volcanoes will raise sea levels by hundreds of meters, submerging all the islands of the New World."

His voice wasn't loud.

But it stirred up a huge wave in everyone's mind.

"This ocean we know so well will never exist again."

"It will become a boiling inferno, shrouded in scorching steam and with magma flowing everywhere!"

boom.

Whitebeard's brain exploded.

This sea emperor, who was used to seeing the world collapse and could personally unleash tsunamis, felt his soul grow cold at this moment.

He got it.

I fucking understand now.

Zephyr's plan was pure madness.

This is not war.

It wasn't a conspiracy.

This is a mutual destruction.

Indiscriminate purging of the entire era.

Zephyr is not just burying pirates, but the entire ocean.

"I see……"

Diamond Joz muttered to himself in a daze!

"A madman...that old guy is a complete madman!"

Bista's hand gripping the sword hilt trembled violently.

Therefore, the World Government and the Navy have been trying their best to cover up the existence of End Point, fearing that some crazy pirates and criminals might use these three places to disrupt the world and even threaten the rule of the World Government!

But neither the Navy nor the World Government anticipated that the person who would ultimately exploit the Endpoint would be someone within the Navy!

Then Chen Ye's cold voice rang out again.

"The recent volcanic eruption in the territory of the Four Emperors is not a primary concern at all."

His tone was mocking.

"Those were all his final tests, to verify the power of 'Explosive Rock.' And incidentally, to draw everyone's attention, including the Navy and the World Government, to these disturbances."

"He's using small-scale disasters to cover up his real goal."

Chen Ye's finger landed heavily on the last red marker on the nautical chart.

That spot was in a remote, sparsely populated sea area.

"Now, if I'm not mistaken..."

"The other two endpoints have already been detonated by him."

"And he should be on his way to detonate the last end point right now!"

The moment those words were spoken...

Captain's cabin!

All that remained was a suffocating tension and deathly silence.

The countdown to the end of the new world has begun.

Boom!

A loud bang.

Whitebeard stood up.

Marko Joz and Vista were pale and could barely stand.

The white-bearded man's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Chen Ye, each word squeezed out from between his teeth.

"That!"

"us!"

"What do you want?!"

"Stop him?!"

The moment the last word was uttered, the entire Moby Dick shook violently, as if trembling at the wrath of this sea emperor.

However, Chen Ye's expression remained unchanged in the face of this overwhelming aura that could shatter space itself.

He stood quietly in the center of the storm of Conqueror's Haki, without even the hem of his clothes moving.

That domineering aura, enough to make ordinary people faint instantly and to terrify even the strong, was to him like a gentle breeze.

That Conqueror's Haki, powerful enough to shatter space, was nothing more than a breeze to him.

His eyes were as still as a deep well.

Whether it's the end of the world or a crisis of mutual destruction, it doesn't matter.

Everything was within his calculations.

Everything is under control.

All eyes, whether angry, terrified, or desperate, were now fixed on Chen Ye.

Because everyone present knew.

Chen Ye must have a way to resolve this crisis!
