One Piece: Hashirama Template

"So... so big!"

"That size is just too exaggerated!"

"A top-tier Logia? Can the Forest-Forest Fruit really do something to this extent?"

"..."

Gazing at the Wood Golem that had become the most dazzling figure on the field, the Marines on the plaza were almost scared into collapsing on the ground.

Even the Whitebeard Pirates and their allied crews, who were fighting and retreating on the ice field, stopped in their tracks. Gazing at the mountain-like Wood Golem, they all felt the dimensional gap in power.

This was also the first reaction of people in the world of Naruto when they saw Uchiha Madara's Perfect Susanoo.

The Perfect Susanoo was called the power of a god, a symbol of destruction! It was said of it: "To see it once is to inevitably die!"

However, the stronger Uchiha Madara's Perfect Susanoo was, the more it highlighted Senju Hashirama's strength.

This was because Uchiha Madara's Perfect Susanoo had never defeated Senju Hashirama's Wood Golem. Even when aided by the captured Nine-Tails, he still couldn't win against Senju Hashirama.

Because the Wood Golem also had a helper!

Link, standing on the Golem's head, shouted again, "Sage Art... Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"

"ROAR..."

A deafening roar spread across the entire battlefield and the world.

From the abyss in the earth, a hundred-meter-long wood dragon flew out. After circling in the air a few times, it suddenly coiled around the body of the Wood Golem.

With the wood dragon wrapped around it, the Wood Golem began to move.

It raised a massive hand that blotted out the sun, formed a fist, and smashed down toward Whitebeard below.

The fist fell like a meteor, its friction with the atmosphere generating flames. The terrifying pressure was such that even Garp and Sengoku chose to retreat.

It wasn't that they couldn't block the punch, but a direct confrontation would consume unnecessary stamina and Haki.

Marineford was already in ruins; there was no need to continue defending it.

Link's target was Whitebeard, so there was even less reason for them to get involved.

Not only did Sengoku and Garp choose to retreat, but the three Admirals did as well.

Akainu, having successfully and gravely wounded Whitebeard and confirmed his inevitable death, directly pursued Ace, who was being pulled away by Marco and the others on the other side of the chasm.

As long as he killed the Pirate King's son, it would be a complete victory for the Marines.

Voom... Crackle!

Watching the descending fist, Whitebeard's brow furrowed. He gripped his Murakumogiri with both hands, condensing a transparent white wave of light onto the blade, and swung a blow that shattered the very atmosphere at the fist above.

A terrifying shockwave surged skyward.

However, the expected scene of the fist shattering did not occur.

The shockwave crashed against the fist, but because it couldn't penetrate inside, it only managed to crack the entire wooden hand. The shockwave could only form a hemispherical, transparent white shield to resist the giant fist's descent.

Unfortunately, the struggle didn't last long. The transparent white shield shattered, turning into endless wind blades that left marks of varying sizes on the wooden hand.

These cracks quickly healed on their own, and the meteor-like giant fist continued to fall.

A look of determination flashed in Whitebeard's eyes. He clenched his fist again, condensing the transparent white wave of light, but this time, dark red lightning crackled around his fist.

Voom... CRACKLE!

He punched toward the sky, and the atmosphere shattered once more. The terrifying shockwave again formed a hemispherical, transparent white shield.

However, this time, the giant fist did not touch the transparent white shield; it froze in mid-air.

It was as if an invisible substance between the giant fist and the transparent shield was holding it back.

Seizing this opportunity, the tremor force continuously slammed into the giant fist, penetrating deeper and deeper into the wooden hand, finally blasting the pillar-like arm to smithereens.

One must know, the Wood Golem's defensive power was such that it could catch the blade of a Perfect Susanoo—a blade that could slice through several mountains with a single swing—barehanded. It was an existence that could easily catch a Tailed Beast Bomb.

From this, one could see just how astonishing the power of Whitebeard's punch was.

But a punch infused with Conqueror's Haki from the strongest Mythical Zoan user—it would be strange if it didn't have such a showing. Unfortunately, the wooden arm that Whitebeard had expended almost all his energy to destroy quickly grew back.

Link lacked many things now, but chakra was not one of them!

After the wooden hand grew back, it immediately slapped down toward Whitebeard.

The flames generated by friction with the atmosphere once again wreathed the Golem's palm, looking just like the sky itself was falling!

"ROAR..."

This time, the wood dragon coiled around the Wood Golem also roared. It stared down at Whitebeard from the air, ready to dive down and swallow him if it saw him escape the palm's attack range, rapidly draining his energy.

Gazing at the hand that blotted out the sun, Whitebeard, having thrown his strongest punch in his current state, had white steam rising from his entire body. His stamina and the Haki that had become increasingly difficult to use over the years were both at their limit.

The massive hole in his chest was also rapidly draining his life force.

This man, the strongest in the world, no longer had the ability to throw a second punch.

And so, this man—who had dominated the seas for decades, who had lived through the era of Rocks, the Golden Age, and the Great Age of Pirates, a major figure in all three eras, even becoming the uncrowned king of the Great Age of Pirates—chose to stand and await his death.

He did not look back at his sons, for fear that he would become attached and endanger his beloved, foolish children.

Unfortunately, the wooden hand fell too quickly. The World's Strongest Man only had time to recall his past rivals and friends; he didn't have the chance, as in the original story, to utter the final words that would usher in a new era.

BOOM————

The Golem's hand, wreathed in flames, slammed heavily onto the ground.

A deafening roar echoed throughout the world.

A hurricane-like shockwave sent everyone on the plaza flying.

Whether they were Marines or the pirates fleeing toward the ice field, their feet left the ground as they were thrown into the air.

Even the powerful had to raise their hands to shield their eyes or use Haki to withstand the outrageous shockwave.

The entire Marineford plaza was almost instantly turned to rubble.

Even the main building, already covered in cracks, collapsed in an instant.

A thick cloud of dust formed a giant mushroom cloud and rose into the sky.

Whitebeard, who had taken the palm head-on, should have been turned into a pile of meat paste.

But when the mushroom cloud dissipated and the Wood Golem retracted its giant hand, it was discovered that Whitebeard had not been turned into a pile of meat paste. He was only lying at the bottom of the handprint crater, which was still emitting steam, completely lifeless.

This was even more terrifying!

The ultimate destruction, yet able to kill a person while perfectly controlling the force, not smashing the body into paste.

This was the power of Senju Hashirama, who pacified the chaotic world and won people over with virtue!

Letting you know just how strong I am, while being able to control my power so as not to casually crush you while I'm redrawing the map
