"Yo! The welcome ceremony down there is quite grand!"
Operating the aircraft in his hands, Vegapunk had a smile on his face as he watched the various Ninjutsu thrown up by the Hidden Sand Ninja below as if he were watching fireworks.
Don't be fooled by the aircraft's crude appearance; the metal exterior actually utilized Vegapunk's magnetic field to strengthen the molecular bonds, making it a crude, knock-off version of Strong Magnetic Force Armor.
Few Hidden Sand Ninja could launch Ninjutsu to an altitude of several hundred meters, and not a single one could do so without losing power. When they hit the aircraft, the three didn't even feel a vibration.
"darling, do you want to show them what's what?" Hancock looked at the Hidden Sand Ninja on the ground, who looked like ants, and gave a mischievous smile. "I remember you installed some weapon systems on your aircraft, didn't you, darling?"
"Wait, no need! Leave this to me!" Pakura hurriedly tried to stop him, but Vegapunk had already directly operated the aircraft to activate its ultimate weapon.
A beam of light instantly shot out from the front of the aircraft, sweeping across the ground. Every building and patch of earth touched by the beam immediately began to shimmer with light.
Then, amidst a rumbling sound, a dazzling light and a terrifying airwave erupted. Even the people on the aircraft could feel a hot gust of wind.
"The effect of the Atomic Disintegration Cannon is quite good; it's on par with Dust Release." Vegapunk smiled as he saw the results below. Then he sighed, "It's a pity this ability can only be used while I'm inside this aircraft. Otherwise, if I built a dozen of these, there wouldn't even be a need for any Ninja Villages."
Atomic Disintegration Cannon: Weakens the interaction between electrons and nuclei, causing atoms to become unstable and directly destroying any object.
While the destructive damage to matter is terrifying, its immense lethality actually comes from the secondary damage caused by the massive energy released during decomposition—essentially a small-scale nuclear explosion.
This was a terrifying ability Vegapunk developed by extrapolating electromagnetic force to the microscopic level. However, his control was insufficient; he could only achieve atomic-level disintegration but not atomic-level reorganization, nor could he reach deep enough into the nucleus to trigger a direct fusion reaction.
If he were to use it himself, the atomic disintegration ability would also damage his own body, greatly reducing his power output and slowing down his execution speed. With the aircraft's assistance, he didn't have to worry about self-harm and could go all out.
As the smoke and light slowly faded, the three looked down from the aircraft to see the entire Hidden Sand Village split in two. The terrain, which was originally the Narrow Sky Canyon, had been turned into a cross shape.
The beam emitted by the Atomic Disintegration Cannon was only about the size of an apple, but the energy explosion from the split matter blasted out a canyon landscape no smaller than the Narrow Sky.
Wails of agony filled the Hidden Sand Village below. The Hidden Sand Ninja close to the Atomic Disintegration Beam had long been vaporized or decomposed; those who could still wail were only the ones further away.
However, what Vegapunk was truly satisfied with was the beam's lethality against matter. For any physical entity, this kind of destructive power meant there was no such thing as defense. Even the so-called Ōtsutsuki would surely die if they took a hit to the head.
Ōnoki's Dust Release was still developed based on Chakra abilities and could be countered by Truth-Seeking Orbs or Chakra absorption. The Atomic Disintegration Beam had no such weaknesses.
Pakura, who had just been trying to dissuade him, fell silent. Looking at the miserable state of the Hidden Sand Ninja, she showed a trace of pity.
Although Vegapunk's attack had only added a horizontal stroke across the Hidden Sand's Narrow Sky, causing no harm outside that area, the casualties still numbered no less than several hundred—one-fifth of all the Ninja left behind to guard the Village.
All the remaining Ninja had lost their will to fight. Had that Atomic Disintegration Cannon strike not cut across the Hidden Sand Village but instead blasted straight down the Narrow Sky, there probably wouldn't even be a Hidden Sand Village left.
Under such absolute violent suppression, no matter how resilient or strong-willed a Ninja was, only despair remained.
It was only then that Pakura began to truly understand what Vegapunk meant when he said destroying the Hidden Sand would be easy. She fully grasped how terrifying this youth's research was and was simultaneously shocked by his cold-hearted nature.
This Blond Youth, who remained calm while looking at the tragedy below, perhaps didn't care about the Ninjas of this world at all, and might not even view ordinary people as living beings!
Vegapunk had spent decades in the One Piece World, conducting all sorts of research and numerous human experiments. Even if he still had some boundaries, his heart could be described as hard as iron.
If the Village below were filled with ordinary people, Vegapunk wouldn't have gone as far as to carry out such a massacre, but for a hostile Ninja Village, he truly felt no mercy.
"Alright, let's head down now! I believe these Hidden Sand Ninja should be quite a bit more docile now!"
Vegapunk spoke indifferently, "I hope these guys have some sense. I don't want to test the effects of the Microwave Field here."
The so-called Microwave Field was the final move Vegapunk used on Egghead Island. Due to the lack of infrastructure in the Naruto World and various restrictions, Vegapunk couldn't manufacture the Microwave Generator from Egghead Island.
But microwaves, in the end, still belong to electromagnetic field effects. Relying on his Devil Fruit ability, Vegapunk could easily compensate for the lack of basic technology.
Compared to the Atomic Disintegration Beam, which has immense destructive power against matter, the Microwave Field seems to have no destructive force at all, but its lethality against living organisms is perversely strong.
Even those tanks in the One Piece World could have their heads steamed cooked by microwaves. In the Naruto World, if any Ninja Village were hit by a Microwave Field, everyone would be wiped out.
Pakura felt that Vegapunk was far too cruel, but in Vegapunk's eyes, his approach could be considered the one with the least amount of killing. Although many Hidden Sand Ninja died in this instant, it completely shattered their will to resist.
If he didn't beat these Hidden Sand Ninja into submission all at once, the killings caused by slowly suppressing and subduing them later would definitely be several times more than now.
