At Marineford, the salty sea wind whipped the waves against the rocks.
Brynndy World stood atop the cliffs, his eyes flickering with a mix of surprise and delight.
"That brat… his power is strange," he muttered, staring at the patrolling Marines in their crisp uniforms. The initial shock quickly faded, replaced by a wicked grin.
"I can't believe I've actually made it to Marineford! I have that brat to thank for this!" he cackled, the sharp laughter cutting through the sea air.
Byrnndi World's life had been driven by an almost obsessive desire for freedom. To him, freedom meant the unrestrained right to destroy anything in the world, to act without limits. The Marines and the World Government were chains that bound his soul, obstacles he had spent his life dreaming of smashing.
Countless nights, he had imagined obliterating Marineford, a lifelong ambition symbolizing the breaking of his chains.
Yet, Marineford was a fortress beyond imagination, defended by elite forces and intricate defenses. No matter how many attacks he launched or plans he devised, he could never even get close—until now. Fate seemed to smile upon him, opening a doorway to destruction.
"Die, you Marine scum! Witness the power to destroy the world!" Brynndy World's eyes blazed red, veins bulging, as he hoisted a massive cannon.
The barrel glowed with an eerie light as he aimed at the Marine Headquarters and pulled the trigger with all his strength.
BOOM!
The explosion was deafening. A colossal cannonball shot forward, warping the air and screaming through the sky.
Flags on the parade ground ignited instantly, turning to ash.
The execution platform collapsed under the shockwave, stones flying everywhere.
The training grounds were engulfed by fire, reduced to rubble in an instant.
Patrolling Marines and rookie trainees nearby didn't even have time to scream before they were incinerated in the blazing light. Their cries and panic echoed across Marineford.
Inside Marine Headquarters, the atmosphere was tense.
Fleet Admiral Kong, Admiral Sengoku, Chief of Staff Tsuru, Admiral Akainu, and Admiral Kizaru were gathered around a table, discussing urgent matters.
T/N: Hmm, they are admirals already?
The moment Byrnndi World entered Marineford, Kong and Sengoku's Observation Haki detected his presence.
Sengoku reacted immediately, shouting as golden light radiated from him. He transformed into his Golden Buddha form and smashed through the window, racing toward the incoming cannonball.
He unleashed a massive shockwave from his palms, colliding with the cannonball in a thunderous explosion. Flames and smoke erupted, shaking the very foundation of the building.
At that moment, Kong appeared beside Sengoku, black energy enveloping his body like indestructible armor.
"Iron Wall!" he roared, spreading his arms to absorb the cannonball's impact.
The two of them combined their strength: Kong absorbed most of the explosion, while Sengoku's Golden Buddha form took the remainder. Still, some residual energy smashed into the headquarters, shattering windows.
Thanks to their efforts, Marineford's main building held.
Kong spat blood, pale and weakened, falling like a kite cut from its string. Sengoku, injured, reverted to his human form.
Kong steadied himself and pointed toward Brynndy World, his voice full of authority:
"Sakazuki, Kizaru! Go deal with him!"
"Yes!" Akainu and Kizaru responded in unison, shooting off like arrows.
Kizaru appeared before Byrnndi World in an instant, his body a yellow flash of light.
Byrnndi World's eyes darkened with fury. The cannonball had failed to destroy Marineford. He slammed the massive cannon into the ground and grabbed a rifle from a panicking Marine.
"100x Gun!" he shouted, and the weapon grew a hundred times its size, its dark barrel aimed at Marineford once more.
Kizaru's lazy voice rang out:
"So, it's you, Byrnndi World. Your More More Fruit is truly terrifying!"
He puffed his cheeks, feigning fear, though his eyes twinkled with amusement.
"You little Marine brat! Move or die!" Brynndy World roared, ignoring the warning as he focused on aiming.
"Brynndy World… ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
Before he could react, Kizaru's leg became a blinding beam of yellow light, kicking straight for Byrnndi World's face.
Byrnndi World's Observation Haki saved him; he leaned back just enough to avoid the strike, but the massive rifle slipped from his grasp.
"You little Marine brat, how dare you ruin my fun!" he shouted, veins bulging as he swung his iron fists at Kizaru.
Kizaru smirked, dodging effortlessly.
"100x Speed!" Brynndy World roared, his aura skyrocketing, his body moving a hundred times faster, matching Kizaru's light-speed.
An intense battle erupted mid-air, fists clashing with beams of light, energy rippling outward. To all watching Marines, only two blurry figures darted across the sky.
"Step aside, Kizaru!" came Akainu's deep, murderous voice from behind.
The two were veterans from the same Marine officer academy, moving in perfect sync. Kizaru teleported aside, just as a massive red flame dog streaked toward Brynndy World—a devastating attack from Akainu: "Hellhound."
The air ignited in its wake, leaving a long, scorching trail.
