"ROOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRR!!!"
That terrifying beastly roar echoed throughout the entire seabed, causing every corner of the deep ocean to quake in fear.
Within hundreds of thousands of miles, the ocean's surface was endlessly stirred up into towering tsunamis.
And all the islands within this range were shaking violently, producing devastating earthquakes.
For some islands, splitting apart was already fortunate – the most terrifying were those being completely submerged, disappearing beneath the sea.
Even the Red Line was affected. Its indestructible surface was cracking, trembling ever so slightly.
"What is happening! This hellish roar… are we going to die?!"
Usopp was so terrified by this horrifying scene that he froze, utterly despairing. Tears streamed from his eyes as he clutched his head and fell to his knees, losing all will to fight in an instant.
"RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!!!"
At that moment, almost simultaneously, from every direction – land and sea alike – massive tentacles extended out.
With the naked eye, one could see endless dense black tentacles.
It looked like a vast, dense forest of writhing limbs!
If one looked closely, they would see countless sea creatures, including Sea Kings, being caught by these tentacles' fanged maws, unable to escape no matter how hard they struggled – only to be devoured in the end.
Even the monsters of Skull Island were seized by these tentacles and eaten as mere food.
Everywhere was filled with these tentacles, as dense as a forest of giant pillars reaching to the heavens.
All living beings were petrified with fear.
No one could remain calm.
Let alone think of fighting back.
"Is this hell… what the hell is happening…."
Law knelt down with a face full of terror.
He always believed that after crawling out from piles of corpses, nothing could ever scare him again.
Yet now, this scene forced fear upon his very soul.
"If all these things attacked at once… everything would be silenced."
Kid murmured, unable to stay calm.
But no one could answer that question.
...
Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters.
"What's going on, why are so many tentacles suddenly appearing! And that roar just now, was it from Entity 3?!"
Sengoku shouted in shock as he saw the countless tentacles spreading everywhere.
On the sea, on land – everywhere was covered by Entity 3's tentacles, without end in sight.
One could only imagine just how massive Entity 3's body was to spread so far!
"Was it Garp? Didn't he go inside…."
Vice Admiral Tsuru couldn't help but guess.
"Garp!"
Upon hearing Garp's name, Sengoku's face immediately tensed.
"BOOM!!"
Just then, a tentacle suddenly exploded, and a figure was blasted out.
"Garp!"
With his extraordinary eyesight, Sengoku instantly saw it was Garp.
He rushed forward to catch him.
Right now, Garp's condition was terrible.
His entire body was covered in corrosive wounds, not a single patch of skin intact, his body utterly weakened.
"Hahaha, damn it… I thought I could finish it with my Kong Gorilla Punch, but I almost got myself killed instead… this really isn't funny at all."
As Garp spoke, he coughed violently, each cough tearing through his body, making him spit blood continuously, leaving him in unbearable pain.
"Garp, what the hell did you do in there, what happened?!"
Sengoku never imagined Garp would end up like this.
In his mind, Garp was the strongest man in the entire Navy!
With the Bull Talisman multiplying his strength by hundreds of times, plus his powerful Kong Gorilla Punch…
Such a Garp should be unbeatable.
He'd even seen Garp fly into space recently, shattering meteorites before returning to casually discuss with him what space looked like.
Sengoku racked his brain. Only Luffy with the Green Lantern Ring, or Dragon with his Vector Manipulation that could supposedly reflect anything, could possibly match Garp.
Nothing should be able to harm him.
Yet reality slapped him in the face so quickly!
"That monster is too strong… even my Kong Gorilla Punch couldn't kill it. Its flesh is incredibly tough, none of our world's weapons can hurt it."
Despite his severe injuries, Garp forced himself to continue explaining what he encountered inside Entity 3.
"There are countless monsters within its body, truly uncountable. And I could feel… there are even more terrifying creatures deeper inside it, within its womb. Far scarier than Entity 3 itself. If left alone… even more terrifying monsters will emerge!"
"COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH!!!"
Holding his breath to finish speaking, Garp coughed even harder, blood covering him entirely.
As he spoke, both his eyes and expression were filled with sheer terror.
Seeing him like this shocked Sengoku deeply – and made him feel as if he no longer recognized his old friend.
In his memories, whether it was before knowing about the SCPs or after, Garp had never shown fear.
He was always the one to charge forward without hesitation.
But now, this Garp was utterly terrified.
Sengoku could barely imagine what Garp had seen inside Entity 3.
"Vice Admiral Garp!"
Koby, Helmeppo, and the rest of Garp's subordinates ran over, sobbing at the sight of him like this.
All of them were confused, lost, and helpless.
Everywhere they looked, they saw countless gigantic tentacles. Who could possibly know what to do in this situation?
"Don't panic, everyone… justice will prevail…"
Seeing his juniors like this, Garp forced himself to encourage them.
He didn't want them to give up hope.
"Hm?"
At that moment, Sengoku noticed something on the ocean surface.
He saw some of the tentacles being frozen.
Others were being pierced through by laser beams.
Some were even being attacked by magma.
The three Admirals had returned.
"They made it back… but will Akainu's plan still work?"
Sengoku spoke worriedly.
Garp had completely enraged Entity 3. Would sacrifices still appease it now?
"Hey, this is a real mess… with so many tentacles everywhere, it's hard to navigate."
Aokiji looked at the countless tentacles surrounding them and spoke.
To stop the tentacles from attacking, he continuously froze them, using his absolute zero freezing air to keep them at bay.
Meanwhile, Kizaru kept firing laser beams formed from Specium energy, blasting holes through the tentacle forest.
But with so many around them, no matter how hard they tried, it was like a drop in the ocean.
"Oi, Akainu, at this point… do sacrifices even work anymore?!"
Aokiji shouted with slight annoyance toward Akainu.
He strongly opposed such inhumane methods, even if the sacrifices were pirates.
It wasn't just about morality – he simply refused to bow down to a monster.
