Taking advantage of the state of fury that consumed him, Hashirama unleashed a ferocious attack with the full power of his chakra. His giant wooden fists shattered the countless white lasers raining down on the island of God Valley.
"How dare you resist!" roared Imu from his room in the Gorosei, surprised by the Senju's determination. His words revealed an unyielding murderous intent.
With a thunderous roar, the white lasers raining down on the island intensified, turning a deadly red that illuminated the entire sea area. The destructive power of Uranus increased exponentially.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the giant wooden fists breaking resonated in the air. One after another, the colossal arms of the Thousand-Handed Buddha succumbed to Uranus' relentless attack. The battle had reached its climax.
Hashirama, exhausted and on the brink of death, was engulfed by a vortex of brilliant red lightning. The island of God Valley trembled under the devastating force of the attack.
[Ding... Congratulations on completing the hidden mission, rewarded with 0.01% experience points]
[Ding... Congratulations to the host on completing the template (maximum state) of the First Hokage-Senju Hashirama at 100%!]
[Ding... Congratulations, you now have an opportunity to extract a character's template…]
The system notifications sounded in Hashirama's mind, a sound that had been lost for a long time. He couldn't believe it. At the moment of his imminent death, the system appeared once more.
[Extraction in progress...]
[Ding... Drawing...]
[Ding... Congratulations on obtaining the villain template of Homelander...]
[Ding... The template is loading...]
The system's indications continued, but Hashirama didn't hear them. His body, weakened and injured, was dragged by the enormous red beam of light into a bottomless abyss.
"Homelander...?" he murmured with an ironic smile on his face. In the last moment of his life, a thought crossed his mind: "Kaido... I hope you don't disappoint me."
Finally!
After ten minutes of battle, the brilliant red beam of light faded into the sky, leaving a deathly silence in its place.
Looking around, the members of the alliance could only see a clear sky, free of the dark clouds that had foreshadowed the battle. The scene was almost surreal, as if everything that had happened was an illusion.
However, the reality was harsh and undeniable. The island of God Valley had disappeared, leaving only a giant vortex in the sea as a reminder of the devastating battle that had taken place.
As they contemplated the shocking scene of God Valley's destruction, the distant observers were left stunned, their minds blank.
Among them, Silver Axe, John, and Ochoku gasped, visibly terrified and full of uncertainty.
The power that had exploded in the last moment was something unimaginable, something that far exceeded any concept of power they had known. It was something much greater, much more incomprehensible.
"Hmhp, with that, anyone could rule the world for a long time," murmured Xebec with a sigh, observing the vanished island.
After a long silence, Shiki took a deep breath, suppressing his pounding heart, and said solemnly, "Such a strong power..."
"Gulalala we'll see how it goes for us..." said Newgate with a laugh, as an idea took hold in his heart.
"Victory!" shouted Silver Axe, John, and Ochoku, who, coming to their senses, knelt on the deck. A vague sense of joy took hold of them.
"Good, excellent!" exclaimed Kong, clenching his fists enthusiastically. "After Hashirama's death, the sea can finally return to its former calm..."
However, deep down, Kong knew that calm was an illusion. As long as the Rocks Pirates and Roger Pirates existed, the sea would never be at peace.
After a moment of reflection, Kong felt embarrassed by his comment. He looked at Xebec, Roger, and the others cautiously.
If these two pirates joined forces, things would become difficult, even with the risk of one side being destroyed.
The atmosphere of the scene had changed. The tension was palpable. The Marines on one side, and the Rocks Pirates and Roger Pirates on the other.
If the two sides decided to join forces, the other would find itself in a very uncomfortable situation, even in danger of being exterminated.
