"What is this?!"
Pica watched in shock as the black sphere merged into the half of the giant stone statue where he was hiding.
Just as confusion clouded Pica's mind, a terrifying force suddenly erupted from within the shattered statue.
"What's going on? This sudden gravitational pull...?"
The broken half of the giant stone statue, which had been falling, strangely stopped mid-air!
At the same time, a powerful gravitational field exploded from within it, pulling in all the surrounding materials—stone, wood, metal—everything was being sucked in and drawn toward the suspended remains of the golem!
Seeing this bizarre sight unfold before him, Pica's instincts screamed that something was terribly wrong.
He immediately tried to cancel his assimilation with the stone, hoping to escape from the gravitational center before it was too late.
But the moment he unmerged from the rocks, he realized—to his horror—that he couldn't move!
This gravitational force didn't just pull objects; it locked onto him directly!
Pica, now separated from the stone, tried to fly away.
But in that instant, the overwhelming force yanked him back into the collapsing remains of the stone golem!
He was immobilized, completely suppressed, as more and more matter gathered around him!
"Urghhh! Damn it! Why... can't I break free?!"
In just a few breaths, under Pica's shrill howls, a colossal sphere of earth and debris had formed, floating eerily in the air like a miniature moon.
Seeing this terrifying scene, the remaining members and officers of the Donquixote Family were frozen in place.
"Is this... really something a human can do?"
"The Kamui Pirates... every single one of them is a monster!"
But it wasn't over yet.
Pica was currently trapped within the sphere, and although he wasn't dead—thanks to his Stone-Stone Fruit ability—he was completely restrained.
However, Uchiha Madara had no intention of letting him live.
Inside his towering blue Susanoo, Madara calmly formed three complex hand seals, his fingers weaving through the signs like a dance.
"Tengai Shinsei!" he intoned coldly.
At that moment, from the dark sky above, there came a low, distant sound—like wind tearing across the heavens.
Watching the scene from nearby, Kronos, who had been enjoying the show while eating, suddenly stood up in alarm.
"Madara! Be careful not to destroy the entire island!" he shouted, realizing what was coming next.
After all, Kronos had already witnessed the might of Madara's destructive ninjutsu before.
But Madara just chuckled inside his Susanoo, barely glancing back.
"Captain Kronos, there's no need for concern. I know what I'm doing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the horrified eyes of the Doflamingo Family cadres widened further...
Because in the sky—piercing the clouds—a massive meteorite appeared, descending slowly but with unstoppable force.
Its target?
The giant sphere formed by Planetary Devastation—where Pica was trapped.
Down on the ground, the officers and foot soldiers of the Donquixote Family were already trembling and collapsed, their legs too weak to hold them up.
All they could do was stare in terror, hopelessness rising in their chests like a flood.
"No... this is the end...!"
Under the stunned and despairing gazes of everyone present...
The blazing meteor crashed straight into the gravitational sphere—right where Pica was sealed.
For an instant, there was a flash of pure white light.
Then, a violent explosion erupted—followed by a scorching shockwave that blasted across the battlefield like a divine punishment.
