...

"Hmm!" Fujitora was slightly surprised. How had Ian so easily guessed his ability?

But then he remembered he'd used it at the Sabaody Archipelago casino. There were only a handful of gravity-based Devil Fruits, and after careful elimination, the answer was perhaps obvious.

Hummm!! Sengoku, watching the island hurtling downwards, raised a giant Buddha palm. A visible light pulsed from it as he struck upwards.

The air freezed for an instant, then a fluorescent light burst forth, centered on Sengoku's palm, and shot skyward.

Crash!!

The thousand-meter-wide island, under Sengoku's single blow, shattered into fragments.

The sea churned violently. After shattering several more falling islands and warships, Sengoku landed beside them.

He crashed heavily onto the shore. In his giant Buddha form, Sengoku stood twenty to thirty meters tall, a titan radiating a golden aura. His presence was as intimidating as Enel's thunder god form.

"Damn it, we can't just shatter them. That will cause even more damage..."

Only Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, and Ian remained on the plaza, along with other high-ranking Marine officers. They watched the growing black dots in the sky, their faces tense. There were too many.

Their combined mass was greater than the entire Marine Headquarters island. If they were simply large rocks resting on the island, they wouldn't be so scared. Many here could destroy them. But falling from the sky, carrying immense momentum, they became a catastrophic threat.

A falling island and a stationary island were two entirely different concepts.

Even if they combined their efforts to shatter these massive meteorites, they couldn't guarantee complete annihilation. Fragments would inevitably scatter, devastating Marine Headquarters and the surrounding warships in the harbor.

They weren't incapable of shattering the debris, but ensuring the safety of Marine Headquarters was the real challenge. Meanwhile, Ian continued his jovial conversation with Fujitora.

This immediately infuriated Sengoku and Garp. "Ian, you damn Kid! Marine Headquarters is about to be destroyed, and you're still chatting? You could lessen the damage! Get moving!" they roared.

"We have to intercept them. I'll use Ryusei Kazan!" Akainu declared grimly. Watching the approaching islands and warships, he gritted his teeth, his hands radiating intense heat.

Red smoke billowed, but Sengoku stopped him. Akainu's attack might rival Golden Lion Shiki's power, but what then? They would still have to deal with the aftermath, perhaps even more devastating given Akainu's contribution to the chaos.

"Can we only wait for them to fall?" Garp, a warrior god, asked as he landed beside them after depositing several warships on the ground. His physical prowess was undeniably at the peak of human potential.

They were running out of time.

"Marine Headquarters Admirals..."

"Sengoku the Buddha..."

"Garp the Hero..."

"Jihahahaha... What's the matter? Are you all too old to handle the terror of my return?"

A raspy laugh echoed through the sky. As the Marines watched in horrified fascination, Golden Lion Shiki descended from the clouds.

Ignoring Shiki's taunts, Fujitora chuckled softly. At Ian's signal, he stepped forward, drawing his shikomizue a half-inch.
