Looking up at the colossal meteorite descending from the heavens, countless elite Marines found themselves gripped by dread.
It hadn't even struck yet, and already they could feel an overwhelming pressure crashing down upon them—as if the sky itself had grown heavy and was pressing against their skulls.
The suffocating aura stilled the breath in their lungs and awakened a primal fear in their hearts.
"Is this… your ability, Ayr?" Whitebeard asked in astonishment.
He stared at the descending meteorite, eyes wide with disbelief. Though he had fought alongside Ayr before, this was the first time he'd seen this particular power unleashed.
Ayr had always held hidden depths—but to summon a celestial body?
"Yes," Ayr replied with a simple nod.
Since unlocking the Fairy Eyes—an evolved form of the Sage Eye—he had gained access to two devastating abilities:
The Full-Body Susanoo, a titanic avatar of chakra, and Tengai Shinsei—a technique rooted in divine power that pulled meteorites from the stratosphere to obliterate his foes.
"You… can control meteorites?!" Golden Lion muttered, sweat forming along his brow.
Even he, one of the most arrogant among the Rocks Pirates, felt a wave of pressure looking at the sheer scale of destruction hovering above them.
"Mamamama… you always surprise us with something strange before every major fight," Charlotte Linlin cackled, though her expression betrayed unease.
In the first battle against Roger's crew, Ayr had revealed the powers of Kurama's Chakra Mode.
In the second—on Hive Island—he tapped into the overwhelming force of the Sage of Six Paths.
And now, here at the Valley of the Gods, the battlefield of fates, Ayr once again unveiled a new force.
The ability to summon massive meteorites from the sky—a divine calamity that dwarfed even most Devil Fruits.
"Hahaha… Spectacular, Ayr! You never disappoint me!" Rocks D. Xebec shouted from the prow of his ship, teeth gleaming in approval.
This kind of power unleashed before the battle even began was clear.
Ayr had resolved to go all out for the sake of their cause.
It pleased Rocks immensely.
"He's the most monstrous talent of the Rocks Pirates," one crewmember whispered with pride.
"With Captain Rocks and Ayr on our side, there's no way we'll lose!"
"Even if the Marines brought their top brass—and Roger and Wald show up—we've got two monsters leading us! We're invincible!"
"This is one of the rare times the full Rocks Pirates have assembled. With the weapon Uranus rumored to be here at the Valley of the Gods… this is our moment to dominate the world!"
Excitement surged among the Rocks crew as the meteorite loomed larger.
The more power Ayr revealed, the more unshakable their faith in victory became.
But on the opposite side of the battlefield, the Marines looked far less confident.
"I didn't think Ayr… would have something like this in his arsenal," Tsuru muttered, her voice sharp with concern.
"He didn't use this on Hive Island," Zephyr observed. "Which means he either held it back—or developed it recently."
"What Devil Fruit even does this?" Sengoku asked, frowning deeply.
The Marines had spent years analyzing the Rocks Pirates.
They knew their members' personalities, power sets, Devil Fruit abilities, and weaknesses.
But Ayr remained a mystery.
No matter how much intelligence they gathered, they couldn't pinpoint what fruit he had consumed—or whether it was a Devil Fruit at all.
They had scoured the entire world's catalog of known fruits and had found nothing resembling Ayr's powers.
"Rocks's crew is nothing short of a nightmare," Kong said, crossing his arms. "We can't afford to relax—not for a second."
Brownie stepped forward, face grim as he looked to the heavens. "That meteorite… it's at least a kilometer across. If it lands, it'll annihilate everything. We have to destroy it before impact!"
He didn't exaggerate.
If something of that size fell, the destruction would be unimaginable.
Their ships would be wiped out, the island would be cratered, and the Celestial Dragons watching from afar would perish without question.
"ALL UNITS—ENGAGE!" Brownie roared.
Without hesitation, the Marines' strongest warriors sprang into action.
Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, Deros, Kong, Zhenwu, and Heibat all launched into the sky.
Their bodies surged with Armament Haki—some even laced it with advanced emission forms, allowing their strikes to reach and shatter matter before making contact.
They weren't worried about themselves.
They could survive a meteor.
But the elite soldiers on the warships, and the nobles observing from the Valley's cliffs?
They wouldn't.
"BOOOOOOM!!!"
Their Haki-infused fists met the meteorite with a thunderous explosion.
A deafening boom echoed across the Valley of the Gods. Winds whipped outward in violent gales, sweeping through the land like a stormfront and toppling trees hundreds of meters away.
"KRAK-KRAK-KRAK!!!"
Cracks splintered across the meteorite's surface. Under the combined might of the world's greatest fighters, the meteor finally gave way.
It shattered into thousands of burning fragments.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Those fragments rained down, crashing into warships and the land below like fiery artillery.
Several Marine ships were struck, their decks splintered, and sails set ablaze by the flaming debris.
The Marines on board did their best to fight off the chaos—but the sheer volume of falling fragments overwhelmed even them.
Eventually, they had no choice but to abandon their damaged vessels and flee to the shoreline.
"Damn it… we managed to break it up—but the fallout still hit us hard!" Brownie cursed, landing amid the shattered terrain.
He surveyed the ruins of over a dozen Marine battleships, his jaw clenched.
"Given the alternative… this is the best outcome we could've hoped for," Kong said beside him, brushing soot from his uniform.
If the meteorite had hit the ground intact?
It would've wiped out the entire bay in a single, apocalyptic blast.
This way, though costly, had spared them a catastrophe.
"Still, over a dozen ships… gone," Sengoku said, his voice grave.
"But casualties are minimal," Zephyr added. "That's what matters."
After all, the Marines deployed here weren't average soldiers.
They were hand-picked elites, hardened through fire and blood.
Each one knew the risks of this mission—and each one was prepared for the war to come.
The opening move had been made.
And now, the real battle was about to begin.
