Bab 223: Chapter 221 : Reaction!
Boom!!!
At this very moment, as the live broadcast concluded entirely!
Shiki was officially defeated by Luffy, stunning the entire world!
Though many had foreseen this when Luffy unleashed the Giant's Thunder Axe.
Perhaps the scales had already tipped in Luffy's favor in this battle...
However, when the verdict was finally announced, the shock reverberated through everyone's hearts.
From countless spectators to numerous sea pirates, kingdoms, and factions.
The array of expressions on their faces was nothing short of remarkable!
Never had they imagined such an outcome for this battle? Despite witnessing Luffy's progression from his tenth peak to his current fourth peak, they had observed his continual growth.
They had witnessed him defy the odds time and time again, forging miracles and ascending in strength!
Simultaneously, they acknowledged him as an extraordinary supernova of the sea, the fifth emperor ruling over a territory!
He stood among the world's mightiest, reigning supreme!
Yet, they were all too aware that Shiki was a legendary pirate, once renowned alongside Roger and Whitebeard.
His legacy and the dominion he once wielded over the seas and the world inspired fear in all who knew of him.
And yet, he, this formidable legend among the strongest, had fallen to Luffy!
This outcome was simply inconceivable, profoundly shocking!
Whitebeard Pirates!
At this juncture, the entire crew of the Whitebeard Pirates was similarly shaken.
Countless members of the crew gazed upon the spectacle in the skies, their expressions a tapestry of complexity.
Whitebeard himself shared in their astonishment.
His gaze fixed skyward, disbelief etched across his features.
"That Shiki... actually lost?"
He found it incredulous. After all, who knew Shiki better than he did?
Apart from Roger, who has passed away, he is perhaps the only one in the world who truly understands him. Even for someone who knows him so well, daring to claim victory against him seems unfathomable.
Yet now, he has truly been defeated, and by none other than Ace's younger brother, The Straw Hat boy. Whitebeard finds himself engulfed in a deep sense of astonishment.
Time seems to blur as the shocked expression on his face gradually fades away.
What replaces it is a smile, and eventually, he bursts into laughter.
"Well done, Ace. Your brother is quite something!"
"Straw Hat, he's growing on me more and more!"
"It appears he has ascended to an extraordinary level!"
"We veterans from the old era are growing old; now it's the era of these youngsters!"
When Ace hears these words, he remains silent.
But a radiant smile spreads across his face.
Witnessing Luffy once again defy expectations, he feels a joy surpassing any other.
It seems his younger brother has truly come into his own, perhaps even surpassing his elder sibling...
The Red-Haired Pirates!
"Just kidding, huh?"
As Shiki falls to a single blow, Shanks jumps to his feet.
His expression is one of exaggerated surprise!
It's not that he doubted Luffy's ability to defeat Shiki; rather, he never even entertained the notion. Such a possibility had never crossed his mind!
After all, Shiki's power surpasses the imagination of most.
Considering Luffy's growth thus far, facing off against such a formidable foe seemed implausible.
Yet, the outcome defies all expectations, leaving not just Shanks, but every member of the Red-Haired Pirates in a state of incredulity.
Their expressions are stretched to the extreme!
For a long while, they simply gaze dumbfoundedly at the sky, unable to fully process what has just occurred...
Totto Land!
Compared to Whitebeard and Shanks, the shock emanating from the duo was palpable. But even Big Mom, a fellow Emperor, found herself in a state of disbelief.
Her gaze fixated on the sky, her eyes widened in astonishment. In the glare of the moment, her mouth hung agape.
Frankly speaking, Big Mom began to question whether she was witnessing a fabricated live broadcast.
Did the Straw Hat boy truly defeat Shiki?
Such a notion seemed utterly inconceivable!
Meanwhile, ministers like Ka Er from various nations stood witness to the celestial spectacle, equally dumbfounded.
Revolutionary Army Headquarters!
"Luffy... emerged victorious?"
The reaction mirrored that of other prominent figures!
Within the confines of the Revolutionary Army headquarters, the commanders of the five major armies led by Dragon, Sabo, and others found themselves bewildered to the extreme in the initial moments.
They even entertained doubts regarding the authenticity of what they were witnessing.
After rubbing their eyes several times and exchanging confirmations, they finally acknowledged that Luffy had indeed vanquished Shiki!
This realization sparked immense shock and astonishment in everyone present!
Sabo and some of the revolutionary troops jubilantly leaped into the air, overcome with excitement!
Even the five army commanders who had previously harbored suspicions toward Luffy and his comrades were taken aback and couldn't contain their amazement!
As for Dragon, known for his reticence, a rare expression of relief graced his features. He smiled.
Onigashima!
"Impossible! This is absolutely preposterous, it must be a hoax!"
"How could he have lost?"
"With the Straw Hat's prowess, it's simply inconceivable!"
Kaido erupted in profound fury!
His fury stemmed from his past affiliation with the Rocks Pirates, just like Shiki.
They were once considered allies.
He had a fair understanding of Shiki's strength. How could someone of such caliber lose to the Straw Hat boy?
"Damn it, I refuse to believe he possesses such formidable potential! Sooner or later, I will eradicate him!"
Consumed by immense anger, Kaido's heart brimmed with relentless murderous intent. He was determined to locate Luffy and eliminate any threat to his future status.
Navy Headquarters!
"Luffy won! He actually won!"
"Hahaha, I'm overjoyed!"
"Pretty impressive, I must say. Exceptional!"
Garp laughed heartily, his excitement palpable.
His expression was one of utmost pride.
After all, Luffy was his grandson.
Witnessing his triumph over such a formidable foe, no one could be more thrilled than him.
Meanwhile, Sengoku stood by, visibly stunned, his eyes reflecting a myriad of emotions.
"Garp, you've got quite the grandson there! What an extraordinary feat!"
"Even Shiki fell to him. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, even if I were beaten to death."
"I suppose back then, we managed to defeat Shiki because we exhausted so much energy."
"But now, your grandson has defeated him single-handedly. The new generation surpasses the old."
