Chapter 435: Fist Bone Meteor + Bomb Rock!
"This should buy us some time, right?"
"Yes, that Little Giant they bombed to death was an important member among them; they won't be coming over anytime soon."
"We can proceed with the next step now. I hope it's useful."
"You and I both know it's impossible. Ultimately, we're still going to lose. You will die, and I will continue to be imprisoned here, working for them. It's just a matter of time."
"I know, but hey, we can only do our best to delay that day's arrival, not just for you and me, but so everyone else can enjoy one more day of freedom."

Sea Star Mainland.
The death of Byrnndi World was a heavy blow to the World Government, shattering the pride and complacency they had built from conquering two worlds!
Whether it was the Five Elders, the Marshals of the Three Forces (Army, Navy, and Air Force), or the Admirals, they fully realized... Otherworld Conquest really does kill people. Even an Admiral can die!
The war with the Other World and the various conflicts and battles within the World were, one could say, completely different matters.
The latter, no matter how they fought, was within everyone's familiar Scope. But as for what Abilities the former possessed and what Means they would use, it could only be described as ever-changing and bizarre.
Inside the Command Department's Meeting Room.
Kong 'The Iron Fist', as the Minister, sat at the head seat.
On either side sat Marshal Raimon, who was both Army Marshal and Fleet Admiral of the Air Force, and Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral of the Marines.
Following them were Marine Admiral Garp 'The Fist', Army General Akainu Sakazuki, Air Force Admiral 'Kizaru' Borsalino, and Air Force Admiral 'Green Dragon' Kaido.
Also present, holding the Admiral Rank, were Zephyr 'Black Arm', the Minister of the Military and Political Department, and Tsuru, the Minister of the Staff Department, as well as Whitebeard Newgate and BIG MOM Charlotte Linlin, who had been granted the Honorary Admiral Rank.
One could say, this room alone was worthy of being called the World Government's 'Summit Meeting'!
It was just a pity for Aokiji Kuzan, who was still a Navy Admiral Candidate and didn't have the qualifications to sit in a chair here, alas...
"Counterattack! We must counterattack!"
Marshal Raimon slammed the table in a fit of Anger and shouted, "They've gone completely against the heavens! If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll really think we're afraid of them!"
He was truly enraged.
It wasn't that he had a good relationship with Byrnndi World; it was purely that he felt disgraced, filled with shame and indignation.
From the first Star Gate until now, the first Admiral to die in Combat was actually someone from his own Army!
Originally, being demoted from the position of Marshal of the Three Forces to Army Marshal was already quite dissatisfying. Now, he couldn't even do a good job as an Army Marshal. How would Kong and Sengoku look at him?
How embarrassing!
"This Old Man also thinks we should fight back. If needed, I can go into Combat!" Edward Newgate's Expression was incredibly cold, because Jozu was still lying on a Hospital Bed.
If they bombed his Son into severe injury, then this World of Star Gate Number Three must Pay the price!
He wasn't a Pirate anymore, but his Pirate temper hadn't disappeared at all. Back then, Roger could destroy a nation's Army because his Crewmate was insulted. What did 'Whitebeard' have to be afraid of?
"I think we should first figure out exactly what they used to bomb Byrnndi World and the others to death, and whether the opponent has even Stronger Means than this?"
Kong 'The Iron Fist' could feel the Anger in everyone's Hearts, but he still maintained basic composure.
"But we can't even get through the gate, how can we gather information? Relying on Brook alone to wander around with his Soul? How long will that take?" Kaido asked impatiently in a deep voice.
"Indeed, the main issue is that inside the Star Gate, it's difficult to observe the Mid-air and the rear. We must gain a foothold on the other side of the Star Gate and establish a Position first!"
Sengoku nodded and offered his Opinion. Immediately after, Garp crossed his arms over his Chest and snorted coldly.
"Hmph, This Old Man doesn't believe that kind of high-Power attack from the opponent appeared out of thin air. There must be a process of release or attack. Once we Understand the principle, we can figure out a way to deal with it!"
Hearing this, Kong 'The Iron Fist' asked expressionlessly, "Then, who will go and take one more hit?"
"..."
The Meeting Room fell silent. Garp and Newgate exchanged glances. Just as the two were about to volunteer for the Mission, the Meeting Room Door was gently knocked upon.
"Come in."
"Minister, this is a Report sent from above. It says it contains a general introduction to 'Nuclear Weapons'." An Army Colonel walked in holding a File Bag and said respectfully.
"Place it down."
"Yes!"
Marshal Raimon asked doubtfully, "What is a Nuclear Weapon?"
He voiced what everyone present was thinking.
But Kong 'The Iron Fist' didn't know either, so he could only wait until he finished reading the Document's Content. A moment later, Kong placed the Document in front of a Visual Den Den Mushi, allowing it to project the images and text onto the Meeting Table in Mid-air.
"Everyone, take a look."
Five minutes later, these Admirals of the World had a basic Understanding of Nuclear Weapons. Garp muttered, "To put it simply, isn't it just a big Bomb?"
"Low Power, medium Power, high Power... Looking at the description here of the Explosion of a ten-thousand-ton TNT Yield Atomic Bomb, it seems similar in performance to a single Bomb Rock."
Sengoku thought to himself, wondering what the Yield of the Bomb that killed Ward was.
"Mamama~~ So that means the opponent might have a lot of these Nuclear Weapons, huh? That's really scary~~" Charlotte Linlin chuckled and grinned, but her Smile looked terrifying no matter how you saw it.
Marshal Raimon said, "This thing can be mass-produced, so theoretically there should be many of them. However, This Old Man noticed it says here that Nuclear Weapons have some kind of Radiation. But this time, the Biochemical Research Institute didn't detect Nuclear Radiation. Also, can we defend against this Nuclear Radiation?"
Regarding this question.
Im received a clear answer from Vegapunk.
His Report stated that if Nuclear Radiation was indeed a type of Radiation, then Experimental Proof from other types of Radiation showed that Armament Haki could resist it.
But without Armament Haki, it would inevitably cause significant changes to Cells.
However, it would be useless against someone like Muzan Kibutsuji, who has Body Control Ability down to the cellular level. Or rather, it would only cause beneficial changes according to his Will, because everything is within his Control.
As for ordinary Sea Star People, because the Life Force of Sea Star People is Stronger than that of Otherworlders, the extent of Nuclear Radiation's Effect on Sea Star People is unclear before Experiments are conducted.
The next day.
After obtaining the consent of the Five Elders, the Otherworld Strategy Committee allowed the Army Headquarters to launch a retaliatory counterattack against the Star Gate Number Three World.
Immediately after, the Army Headquarters applied for ten Bomb Rocks, and then had the Academy of Science help stick them together and install them inside a Cannonball.
Yes, they were preparing to give the other side a 'nuclear strike' as well!
Isn't it just a head-on bombardment?
Bring it on!
This process took three days, mainly because Bomb Rock has always been a Confidential matter of the World Government, and due to its danger, it's not located on the Red Line at all. Therefore, Flying Warships from the Air Force had to be dispatched to handle the Transport.
If it were in the past, relying on the Marines' Warships, it would have taken at least a week or more...
The sixth day.
Garp arrived at the newly built Biochemical Safety Station. In front of him was the Star Gate emitting a faint Radiance. Beside him was a spherical Cannonball with a Diameter of one and a half meters.
Because the spherical shape made it convenient for him to throw it by hand!
Behind him sat Brook, cross-legged on the ground. At this moment, his Soul had already left his Body. Next, he was responsible for observing the Explosion's Effect on the other side of the World, and also Moria, who was watching from the side.
"Er ha ha ha ha, you little brats from the Otherworld, taste This Old Man's Fist Bone Meteor—!"
Garp was seen laughing heartily with his head tilted back. Amidst the unrestrained laughter, he fiercely threw the large Cannonball containing ten Bomb Rocks like a baseball. The Air in front of him even instantly exploded into a circle of white Air Current.
[Whoosh——————]
A Distance of dozens of kilometers was rapidly crossed in just a few minutes, and then a bright purple Radiance appeared on the Horizon at the other end of the Line of Sight.
After waiting a few more minutes, the Shockwave finally swept over, pushing forward rolling Smoke and Dust...
So, what was the result?
