Chapter 860 Conclusion of the 1st Part of Attack on Titan S4!
_________________
The first thing the Art Store screen displayed was heavy rain pouring down… marking the start of episode 75 of the thrilling anime Attack on Titan. The viewers were already on the edge of their seats, holding their breaths in anticipation.
A flash of roaring thunder drew the attention of the Survey Corps, who were under Hanji's command at the time.
After a few moments, gasps erupted from the audience as Zeke's half-mangled body appeared on screen, clearly having suffered greatly at the hands of Levi. The shocking scene, in which a Titan tore open its own bloody stomach to place Zeke's half-body inside, left many viewers feeling nauseous.
Some immediately forfeited their viewing rights and left voluntarily! Their hearts were not strong enough to endure the intense visuals.
"Tsk, a bunch of cowards…"
Doflamingo dismissed those leaving the Art Store at that moment, focusing back on the inner store's screen.
The opening theme song began.
"Oh my, every time I hear this song, I feel an overwhelming urge to join a world war! Fufu~"
Doffy laughed, suppressing the mounting excitement in his heart.The same was true for his companions nearby—Enel and his brother Rosinante.
Not far from them, Issho and Mihawk sat together as usual, joined by Brook, Saul, Vegapunk, Professor Clover, and many others. None of them were willing to miss the episodes of this phenomenal anime. After all, the weekly episodes carried a breathtaking plot progression so far.
Anyone who watched AOT was eager to find out how this chaos would end. Even those repelled by the gut-wrenching gore found ways to secretly catch up on the episodes later.
"It seems the political situation in Paradise has deteriorated to such an extent… Even Commander Pyxis is in a pitiful state—threatened in his own land, among his own people."
Professor Clover commented after the opening song ended, as Yelena, the leader of Zeke's supporting faction, appeared on screen. She was seated at the dining table, speaking with Commander Pyxis, who was entirely under her control at the moment.
"He has no choice. After all, they are practically waiting for death. Look at Commander Pyxis's response—the spinal fluid they ingested through the wine can turn them into mindless Titans at any moment. It's a death sentence."
Vegapunk, deeply interested in the transformation process of the Eldians into Titans, spoke with fascination.
Vegapunk was convinced there was a direct cause behind all of this.
"In such life-threatening circumstances, it's natural for allies to turn on one another," Brook lamented after witnessing Commander Pyxis's words.
"This rumbling business is no simple matter… This conversation between Yelena and Commander Pyxis must be much deeper than it appears," Issho remarked with a curious expression after hearing the dialogue between the two characters.
"Zeke is the god who will save the world, you say? Haha, that's amusing,"
Mihawk chuckled at Yelena's nonsense, clearly mocking her belief.
"Well, by that logic, Levi would be considered a god-slayer."
Mihawk, an avid admirer of Levi's swordsmanship, believed that if Levi existed in this world, he'd be a swordsman formidable enough to rival him for the title of the best swordsman.
"Euthanasia… That's Zeke's plan?"
"What is Zeke intending to do? And is Eren involved in this plan as well?"
"Euthanasia… Who's being killed? And how is that different from plain murder?"
"This anime never ceases to amaze me!"
"Yelena's design is fantastic. Look! She killed an ally without hesitation, simply because he insulted the Eldians by calling them devils. She's ruthless!"
"If she were in our world, she'd be a famous pirate with such a spirit!"
"I still can't get over what Eren said to Mikasa and Armin… My god, how did Eren change this much!?"
"This isn't about saving Paradis or Marley anymore. It seems there's an enormous secret behind the rumbling…"
The audience continued to discuss the unfolding events as the episode progressed, both inside the Art Store in Ohara and in every Art Store scattered across the world.
In Ohara, the viewers remained immersed in the episode's events, all under Rob's watchful eyes.
From the background, Rob observed the emotions on everyone's faces while keeping track of the Art Coins piling up, which had completely dried up since he completed the creation of the game world—One Piece.
To create a new game world, he needed to collect at least one billion Art Coins! It was a long road ahead.
Creating the One Piece world cost him a trillion Art Coins due to its massive scale, intricate plot, and numerous elements. For a simpler world, a billion coins would suffice, provided it wasn't as complex as One Piece.
Hence, to gather more precious coins, Rob needed to increase the number of new shows—especially anime, which consistently generated abundant Art Coins.
"Enjoy Attack on Titan, because there might not be another anime of its caliber in the future,"
Rob thought to himself, observing the complex emotions of viewers inside and outside the Art Store.
...
Marineford:
Since the One Piece manga was currently on hiatus, the only source of entertainment for the dedicated Marine soldiers was anime shows—especially the extraordinary Attack on Titan series.
As there was no official Art Store at the Marine headquarters, they relied on Video Den Den Mushi to transmit visuals and sound directly from Marigoa, much like the live broadcast of the Summit War in the Sabaody Archipelago.
This was how they watched weekly episodes. Today happened to be the day of the final episode of the first part of season four. However, Rob refrained from splitting season four, as he already had it completed. For the inhabitants of this world, this was episode 16 of season four.
"Is Pieck telling the truth…? Will she really side with Eren?"
Sengoku pondered over the unexpected turn of events.
"It doesn't matter. I'm more impressed by how unaffected Eren was, even with a gun pointed at his head,"
Zephyr replied with a smile.
"I think Marley has completely brainwashed these trained Eldians from a young age. From Gabi's reaction, I believe Pieck is lying. It's clear she's trying to lure Eren into a pre-set trap,"
Tsuru remarked confidently.
"Arara… That's possible too. But what's going to happen to Zeke?"
Aokiji expressed curiosity about the fate of the Beast Titan holder, as Zeke was Eren's brother and unlikely to die easily.
"Euthanasia… ending the Eldian bloodline? Tsk, isn't that just cowardice and surrender?"
Akainu sneered disdainfully at Zeke's plan.
"At this point, I'm dying to see what Eren is truly planning," Kizaru added.

"Show me where the enemy is now." Eren stood on the rooftop, one hand behind his back, ready to transform into a Titan at any moment.
"There," Pieck turned and pointed to him.
As Eren expected, within moments, the Jaw Titan attacked from below the building, tearing at his legs. If he hadn't jumped, he would've been devoured.
The next moment, Eren transformed into the Attack Titan.
...
"What's that?" Connie and the others, imprisoned in the dungeon, were shocked.
"It has begun…" Armin commented nervously.
"The Titans have started moving…"
...
"Mr. Galliard!" Gabi was startled to see the Jaw Titan shielding them from the aftermath of Eren's transformation.
"I feared it wouldn't be that simple," Pieck remarked.
"Pieck!? So, you're not a traitor!?" Gabi felt relief at this unexpected turn of events.
"Did you really think I would betray my comrades, Gabi?"
"But you said we had no future even if we served Marley!"
"Look up." Words weren't enough to explain.
What Gabi saw at that moment filled her with overwhelming joy.
At that moment, five massive war blimps appeared in Paradis's skies.
"I don't trust Marley. But I definitely trust those who fought alongside me," Pieck declared confidently.
...
"The signal flare sent. Pieck and Galliard have revealed the traitor's location!"
"It's the Founding Titan!" shouted the Marleyan commander aboard one of the blimps.
At that moment, Reiner stared directly at Eren.
"It's time to avenge Liberio."
"We'll take him down here!" declared Theo Magath as he glared at the Titan below.
...
"Come to me…" From within the Attack Titan, Eren's expression was defiant.
"Reiner," he muttered, locking eyes with his opponent.
[To Be Continued…]

"Oh my god, that was incredible!"
"I enjoyed this episode so much! I can't wait to see Reiner get crushed again!"
"Titan battles are breathtaking!"
"Reiner is clearly going to lose again!"
"Could this day mark the beginning of a new era in this world?"
"This is amazing… but why did the episode end so quickly!?"
"Ugh! As expected, Pieck was lying! Damn her!"
"Where is Zeke in all of this!?"
"Oh my god, these war blimps look terrifying!"
"I can't wait to see the next episode! Please let it come out already!"
These were the viewers' last comments before returning to their busy lives.
