One Piece: I Awakened King Ghidorah At the Start

Chapter 149 149: The End is Also the Beginning (END)

The earth-shattering tremors were like the sky collapsing, shattering the three colossal mecha into pieces.

"Th-that strength… so strong! This is Whitebeard?"

"No wonder they call him the strongest man in the world!"

The terrifying power of the Gura Gura no Mi left the onlookers frozen in fear, their hearts trembling.

But alongside their shock, waves of relief and cheers burst forth.

"W-what kind of people are these…?"

Aboard the Ark, Enel's eyes bulged as he stared down at the battlefield. He could hardly believe what he was seeing.

These Blue Sea dwellers—how could they be so terrifying?

At that moment, the self-proclaimed god of Skypiea even felt a fleeting urge to return to Bikan. The world below was simply too monstrous.

But before that thought could settle, a sound even more dreadful shook the skies.

Boom! Boom!

From the massive warship in the distance, a coarse, violent beam of blue energy erupted outward.

The unstable, frenzied hum that followed was like a deafening ultrasonic wave, stabbing into everyone's eardrums.

The masses below had to clutch their ears in pain as their gazes fixed on the blazing torrent.

"W-what… what is that…?"

Horror filled every pair of eyes. The energy was like a massive laser cannon unleashed from the heavens.

Before anyone could process what was happening, a roar rolled across the skies like the wail of a demon crawling out of hell.

"Ghidorah…"

The suffocating bellow echoed endlessly through the firmament. Then they saw it—

On that massive vessel… a towering, black behemoth rose to its full height.

Gasps and stupefied silence gripped the battlefield.

What… what the hell is that thing?!

A dinosaur?

No one could believe it. Yet there it stood—a hundred-meter tall black leviathan, its jagged back lined with blades like volcanic rock.

Those blades glowed with searing blue luminescence, dazzling like rows of sapphire gemstones.

Vmm… vmmm… vmmm…

The air vibrated as the glow intensified, building like a charging engine.

BOOM!

The titanic creature's maw burst open, unleashing a colossal blue energy beam that tore across the land.

The worldview of everyone present shattered in that instant.

"This… this can't be… G-Godzilla?!"

Unlike the others, Enel on the Ark instantly recognized the monster's form. His eyes nearly popped from their sockets.

To have witnessed Ghidorah was already fortune beyond measure—yet to also behold this nightmare incarnate, Godzilla itself? His mind was breaking.

Rumble!

The azure beam slammed into the shores of Wano, consuming half the island in an eruption of fire and annihilation.

Exhausted, Ghidorah flapped up into the skies, narrowly avoiding the blast.

But while he evaded, the unfortunate Twenty Kings still trapped below were engulfed by the roaring inferno.

When the flames finally dissipated, a voice broke the silence.

"Imu… what do you think you're doing?"

The red-haired man stood amidst the ruins, his eyes like iron as he glared at the leviathan.

"Do you even realize what you've unleashed?"

"Ha ha ha… of course I do."

Now in his Godzilla form, Imu's monstrous jaws opened, his voice filled with icy malice.

"For a thousand years… I've endured you all. A thousand years of waiting."

"Bastard…"

"You mean… you've been pretending this entire time?"

The red-haired man's expression twisted in shock.

"Ha ha! And only now you realize? Too late!"

Imu's laughter shook the heavens.

Then—another voice rang from the skyship.

A figure stepped forward, standing at the edge, gazing coldly at the red-haired man.

"To think I'd ever get to see that expression on your face… priceless."

"You… it's you!!"

The red-haired man's body trembled violently the moment he recognized the figure.

"Impossible! You were dead—your power had already reincarnated into another Devil Fruit!"

"Oh? Who told you that once a Devil Fruit reforms, the user must die?"

The figure sneered, and with a thunderous roar, his body erupted into flames, his form soaring upward.

The fire coalesced and expanded—becoming a monstrous winged beast, shrouded in fire and smoke.

"R-Rodan?!"

The sight struck the red-haired man like a dagger of realization. His fury exploded as he turned to Imu.

"You bastard! From the very beginning—you were working with them?!"

"Heh… seems you've figured it out a little late, my dear prince."

"That's right—how could I ever betray my own uncle? You fools really thought you sealed him away back then?"

Imu's mocking laughter only deepened.

"Why? Why?! Tell me why!" the red-haired man howled, his voice breaking.

"Why?"

"You really don't remember? You greedy parasites stole our technology, imprisoned our scientists… All that, I could tolerate.

But when you set your sights on my mother—that was unforgivable.

Compared to us, you are the true blight of this world. But I don't care about that anymore. My only goal… is to annihilate every last one of your kind."

Imu's cold fury erupted into unrestrained carnage. Empowered beyond measure, he unleashed devastation upon the islands.

Rodan dove through the skies, tearing apart the last of the colossal mecha.

Ghidorah unleashed his full wrath, mercilessly crushing the remaining remnants of the Twenty Kings.

Three kaiju—monsters of legend—laid waste to everything in sight. The tidal waves of power rolled outward, sweeping even those watching from the icy plains in dread.

In moments, the entire island of Wano was erased.

On the scarred glaciers, no trace remained of the red-haired man or his comrades.

With his death, the Twenty Kings were utterly vanquished.

The shadowy master of the world government was dead, and even Imu himself had turned against them.

The world… had fallen back under Ghidorah's dominion.

He absorbed what remained of the world government and expelled every allied nation from its fold.

The nations left outside the circle of power quaked in fear, uncertain of what fate awaited them.

Yet no further destruction came.

Instead, the world government was replaced by a new order.

A movement calling itself True Pacifism.

The New Marines were unveiled as its vanguard, their roster sending shockwaves across the seas.

Every pirate who still clung to hope quickly vanished into obscurity.

Only the most powerful remained, true adventurers at heart.

And Ghidorah decreed that the New Marines would not interfere with them.

The seas were vast; some islands needed guardians, and perhaps some pirates could yet redeem themselves.

As for the Straw Hat crew—the story's original heroes—they resumed their voyage after the war, continuing their quest to gather the Red Poneglyphs… and chasing Luffy's unshakable dream of becoming Pirate King.
