The ground split open with massive fissures, and the distant Mountain vanished from sight. The clouds in the sky were blasted apart.
Bob retracted his fist, gazing at the scene before him. Even he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
This was his first strike after sensing the changes within himself, and it was nothing short of earth-shattering.
However, he also knew that the punch he had just thrown was still far from reaching the level of Master Saitama.
After all, Bob hadn't delivered a "Serious Punch," nor had he perfectly inherited the physical attributes.
Thus, while the clouds in the sky were split apart by the immense force, it was only limited to the area around the God Valley.
Compared to Saitama ability to split the entire atmosphere, it still fell short.
Nevertheless, such power was more than enough to leave everyone in this world in awe.
On either side of the massive chasm, among the numerous corpses, some figures slowly began to rise.
Kong, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, and other powerful individuals.
It had to be said, the resilience of the people in this world was terrifying—their bodies harder than steel, yet they still survived.
However, each of them was in a sorry state, their wounds bleeding profusely, as if someone had poured buckets of red dye over them.
When they opened their eyes and saw the scene before them, their bloodshot eyes froze, and they stood there in stunned silence.
The ground was littered with the bodies of Marines and other powerful figures, hardly a single one intact.
In the middle of the corpses, a massive chasm stretched out, the distant Mountain nowhere to be seen, and the sky appeared as if it had been cleaved open by a blade.
After a long moment, they finally reacted, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
"One punch, splitting mountains and valleys!"
"Is this kind of power something that anyone in this world can possess?"
"What kind of person is he? His strength can no longer be described as monstrous!"
"We were wrong, all of us. In the Rocks Pirates, the most formidable wasn't Rocks, but Bob!"
"What has he gone through? How did he become so powerful?"
"..."
Those who had crawled out from the pile of corpses had completely lost the will to fight on.
In their dazed eyes, besides shock, there was also despair.
Yes, Bob strength had made them experience despair.
Especially the main combatants of the Marines—Kong, Zephyr, and Sengoku.
They felt it more deeply than anyone else.
These were the ones who had led the charge against Bob, their eyes locked on him the entire time.
When they were less than a hundred meters away, preparing to unleash their full power, they saw Bob slowly raise his fist and swing it toward them.
And in that instant, an overwhelming force surged forth, as if the heavens themselves had poured down an ocean upon them.
Even with all their might, they could still feel insignificant in the face of that power.
In a flash, they were knocked unconscious by the force, and when they opened their eyes, this was the scene that greeted them.
So while others might not know who was responsible, these few knew all too well.
"Cough, cough~ We've all been deceived. The strength of Bob is simply beyond our ability to contend with!" Kong coughed twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his entire body looking utterly drained.
His voice, once filled with vigor, now carried nothing but exhaustion.
In this battle at the God Valley, he had experienced an unprecedented sense of defeat, a feeling even more intense than when Rocks was around.
"Why? This can't be, it makes no sense!" Zephyr muttered to himself, staring blankly at the vanished Split Mountain.
He sat slumped on the ground, his eyes empty and lifeless.
Among them, he was the one who felt it the most deeply, because he had personally fought against Bob.
Back then, Bob didn't possess the power he had now. Although stronger, it was still within a reachable range.
But now, his strength was terrifying.
This meant that in just a few months, Bob had grown to this level.
Such an opponent left him feeling suffocated, a presence he could never catch up to, no matter what.
On the other side, Roger and Whitebeard, who had been fighting in the distance, had long since stopped.
The immense and terrifying force, even though they were far away, as the strongest in the world, they too could feel a hint of fear deep within.
Exchanging a glance, they leaped back to their respective crews.
Meanwhile, Shiki, Charlotte Linlin, Wang Zhi, John, Silver Axe, and others, who were about to flee, were all dumbfounded.
They didn't know what had happened, only that the sky had darkened for a moment, followed by a deafening roar, and then the entire God Valley had drastically changed.
Shiki, suspended in mid-air, looked grave, the cigar in his mouth completely extinguished, blown out by the shockwave.
Simultaneously, everyone stopped running, staring blankly in Bob direction.
At this moment, a possibility involuntarily surfaced in their minds.
Could all of this have been done by Bob?
Because the changes in the God Valley only appeared in front of Bob, and the massive rift valley also started from the Rocks' ship, extending all the way to the direction of the Mountain.
"Could this have been Bob doing?"
"I don't know, since we didn't see it with our own eyes."
"Holy shit! If it really was him, is he even human?"
The commanders spoke in horror, knowing their conjecture was likely true, but they still couldn't believe it for the moment.
After all, being capable of such a feat, it didn't belong to the realm of humans anymore.
All of them frowned deeply, their expressions quite unpleasant.
Because if this was Bob doing, then the death of Rocks would hold much less significance for them, as Bob strength was even more terrifying than Rocks'.
And if it wasn't Bob, then what kind of power existed in this world?
The unknown terror sometimes made people even more anxious than the visible.
Just as the commanders were puzzled, a cacophony of voices suddenly erupted.
"The seawater is surging up, the God Valley is being swallowed by the sea!"
"The God Valley is sinking!"
"..."
