The moment the words left his mouth, the once-clear blue sky abruptly went blank—empty, colorless—leaving only the solitary figure of Deva Path Pain suspended in the void.
Boom!!!
A catastrophic repulsive force erupted beneath him, exploding outward like a nuclear detonation. The deafening roar rattled minds and senses alike.
The ground convulsed violently. Rocks, sand, sparse vegetation—everything in the Gobi Desert—was obliterated in an instant, erased without leaving behind even fragments.
"What?!"
For the first time, panic flashed across Garp's face.
He kicked off the air with Moonwalk, but it was useless. The sheer force of the Super Shinra Tensei hurled him backward for thousands of meters, his body completely overwhelmed.
After what felt like an eternity, the repulsion finally ceased.
As the dust settled, a chilling silence spread through the battlefield. Fear seeped into every corner of the watching worlds.
The Gobi Desert was gone.
In its place lay a lifeless wasteland—nothing but barren, cracked earth stretching endlessly in every direction.
Naruto World
Pain's power left everyone trembling.
No one had imagined a single technique could be this destructive.
Even Tobirama swallowed hard.
"If that attack had struck Konoha," he said quietly, "the village would have been reduced to ruins instantly."
Naruto clenched his fists, his voice shaking.
"Is… is Old Man Garp dead?"
The lingering terror from that attack hadn't faded. Even though Garp belonged to another world, he was still a hero—someone who protected civilians.
Kakashi sighed heavily.
"As strong as he is… surviving an attack like that with just physical strength is unlikely."
No one present dared claim they could endure such power. Naturally, they had little hope for Garp.
Dragon Ball World
Vegeta shook his head.
"What a shame. That attack is terrifying—already close to Nappa's two-finger blast."
Assassin Seven World
Ah Qi froze mid-haircut. His scissors slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.
"Dabao… if that attack landed on Chicken Island, wouldn't we all be wiped out?"
His trembling voice made the customer panic as well.
Dabao forced a calm expression.
"Relax. That's impossible."
Across the countless worlds, a shared sense of regret spread.
The Marine hero had simply encountered an opponent too monstrous.
Whoosh—
From beneath a mound of shattered rock and sand, a blood-soaked arm emerged.
Moments later, Garp shoved aside the debris pinning him down and stood up.
Pain's eyes widened violently.
Then, a sharp, dangerous glint appeared.
"To withstand my Super Shinra Tensei…"
Pirate World
Cheers erupted instantly.
"I knew it! Grandpa, I knew you'd survive!" Luffy roared.
At Marineford, Sengoku finally released a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding.
"As expected of you, Garp."
Even Kaido—renowned for his unmatched physical strength—watched with awe. He knew that if he had taken that attack head-on, he wouldn't have escaped without severe injuries.
Meanwhile, within the Akatsuki, Nagato slumped forward, his body trembling. Using Super Shinra Tensei had pushed him to the brink—he looked like a candle flickering in the wind.
"If that's how it is…" he rasped, "then I'll use that."
Konan's pupils shrank in alarm.
She knew what he meant.
That technique would drain everything—and destroy his body in the process.
But the thought of reviving Yahiko swallowed the words she wanted to speak.
"That attack hurt," Garp said, stepping forward steadily. "I've never taken a hit like that in all my years as a Marine."
Pain's face twisted grotesquely, his expression no longer human.
"My pain is far greater than yours!"
"Chō Shinra Tensei!"
Hand seals formed rapidly. Pain unleashed his strongest technique—staking everything on this final blow.
Across all worlds, scalps tingled with dread.
The calm, composed Pain had vanished. What remained looked dangerously unhinged.
A black sphere formed before him and shot into the sky.
The barren battlefield began to tremble again.
"What is that…?"
Garp watched as enormous chunks of earth ripped themselves free from the ground across an area spanning thousands of meters, all dragged toward the sphere by an overwhelming gravitational pull.
Countless craters scarred the land.
The sphere continued to grow—larger and larger—until it nearly blocked out the sun itself.
Fear seized every observer.
No one believed they could face such an attack and survive.
Pain ascended higher, gazing down at Garp like an ant beneath a god.
His end seemed inevitable.
Attack on Titan World
Eren's breathing turned ragged.
"If even the Colossal Titan were hit by that… it wouldn't survive."
Douluo Dalu World
Tang San felt his heart tighten.
"Compared to that… my techniques are nothing more than parlor tricks."
Pirate World
Even Kaido's expression darkened.
If he could barely endure the previous attack, then this one would annihilate him completely—leaving not even a corpse behind.
Battlefield
Garp clenched his teeth.
He had believed Super Shinra Tensei was Pain's final card.
He was wrong.
The fully formed Chō Shinra Tensei descended like a falling meteor, igniting flames as it tore through the air.
"HAA!"
Black Armament Haki coated Garp's fists once more.
His eyes burned with resolve.
If he couldn't stop this—he would lose.
His punch tore through the air, flames igniting around his fist as compressed energy screamed past.
Nagato collapsed the moment the technique was released.
Everything—his body, his hope—had been placed into this single attack.
Boom!!!
An earth-shattering explosion erupted.
Garp's fist slammed into the Chō Shinra Tensei, unleashing a shockwave that swept across the battlefield.
His arm screamed in agony under the crushing pressure, bones threatening to shatter.
"AAAAAH!"
With a roar, Garp unleashed every ounce of Armament Haki he had left.
Cracks spread across the massive sphere.
But it wasn't enough.
The Chō Shinra Tensei pressed down mercilessly.
At last, Garp's strength gave out.
Bang.
The battlefield fell silent.
The colossal sphere stood embedded in the earth—immovable, absolute.
