Sakazuki was filled with disbelief regarding the events at Mary Geoise.
A massacre among the Celestial Dragons?
What was going on?
Were they all wiped out by their own kind?
"What exactly happened?!" Sakazuki demanded, his voice trembling with agitation.
"I don't know the details… but you can hear it from their mouths," Issho said, gesturing to the Marine soldiers he had brought down on the bubble lift.
"Speak. What happened?" Sakazuki barked.
"F-Fleet Admiral, we're not sure either. The Celestial Dragons were gathered, and then a person named Imu appeared, accompanied by nineteen guards. They were all very powerful. Then Imu gave the order to kill all the other Celestial Dragons."
"The ground ran red with their blood. Mariejois… no longer has a single Celestial Dragon left alive," the soldier reported.
"This..." Sakazuki was dumbfounded. None of it made sense.
Not only he, but everyone present was confused. Why would the Celestial Dragons massacre each other?
"I suggest we should stop the fighting for now. The fate of the world isn't in our hands. The Revolutionary Army's goal was the Celestial Dragons on Mary Geoise. Now that the Celestial Dragons are dead, the one who can decide the world's fate is that Imu," Kuzan said.
"Where is Imu now?" Sakazuki asked.
"Most likely at Lodestar," Kuzan replied.
The battle between the two sides ceased; there was no intention to continue fighting.
As Kuzan said, the decision no longer lay with them, but with Imu and the Whitebeard Pirates.
It was laughable. The fate of the world was actually being handed over to a group of pirates.
....
Meanwhile, near Wano Country, Whitebeard was kneeling on one knee.
"It seems my journey ends here... That guy Roy hasn't returned yet..." Whitebeard clutched his chest.
He had several wounds. Kaido and Charlotte Linlin nearby weren't much better off; all three were covered in injuries.
"Worororo! What a thrill! This is the kind of war I wanted! The Celestial Dragons, the World Government... they've ruled this world for far too long. It's time for a change," Kaido laughed manically, even as blood streamed and patches of scales had been ripped from his flesh. His ferocity never wavered, he still wanted to fight.
"That was Rock's intention back then too, to oppose the world. Mamamama... But that guy lost to Roger and Garp. I never thought we would actually succeed," Charlotte Linlin laughed loudly, her blind eye staring ahead.
"The war isn't over. The enemy still stands," Whitebeard growled, forcing himself upright.
Before them, the God's Knights remained, led by Shamrock and others. Their situation wasn't much better; the swords in their hands broken, only Shamrocks blade remained.
The war continued. Both sides had suffered countless casualties. They had originally intended to deal with the Red Hair Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates, but never expected to encounter the Whitebeard Pirates.
Nor did they anticipate the Whitebeard Pirates' strength to be so formidable. With so many ability users, they had fought them to a stalemate.
The Five Elders had already been killed. Roy used the teleportation ability to find Imu.
There was no use in them worrying; they could only fight the Whitebeard Pirates to the bitter end.
"Lord Momonosuke," Kin'emon came to Momonosuke's side.
"I'm fine. Zunesha is coming," Momonosuke looked up with difficulty. A massive shadow appeared.
Seeing Zunesha's appearance, this gigantic ancient creature, who had missed the war 900 years ago, was now here to make up for it.
Under Momonosuke's orders, Zunesha attacked Uranus. Its sole purpose was to destroy Uranus.
BOOM!
Countless Sea Kings emerged from the ocean, biting firmly onto Uranus, tearing apart its hard exterior.
The sudden change shocked everyone. How could so many Sea Kings appear so suddenly?
"Newgate, we're here to help you."
An ancient giant ship emerged from the sea. The large bubble coating burst, revealing hundreds of thousands of Fish-Man soldiers on board, led by King Neptune of the Fish-Man Kingdom and Princess Shirahoshi.
"Sea King Poseidon!!"
Seeing Princess Shirahoshi, Shamrock, and the others felt greatly alarmed.
900 years ago, Joy Boy's greatest desire was to destroy Uranus. It was because of Uranus' activation that the world became like this, flooded everywhere.
Now that Uranus had landed on the sea, wasn't it giving them an opportunity? The Sea Kings, summoned by Princess Shirahoshi, joined the battle, aiming to destroy Uranus just like Zunesha.
BOOM!
Uranus shook violently. The operators inside used their final measure, an annihilation beam that lanced into the sea itself.
"Use the impact force to return Uranus to the sky! Otherwise, it will be destroyed!"
BOOM!
The ocean floor buckled under the colossal blast, propelling Uranus upward. But the Sea Kings refused to release it, clamping down tighter.
Zunesha's trunk smashed down upon Uranus's crown
BOOOOM!
Everyone aboard was thrown off balance, scattering to avoid Zunesha's strike.
Humans seemed so insignificant before the titanic beast. This was a showdown between Ancient Weapons.
Long ago, when the moon people descended, such battles had once shaken the earth.
The Fish-Men had fled to the sea then, hiding beneath the Red Line to escape Uranus's wrath. At ten thousand meters below, in Fish-Man Island, they had found safety, yet they still longed for the sun.
"Everyone, don't give up!"
Shirahoshi pressed her hands to her chest, her voice reaching the ears of every Sea King. From the depths they swarmed in, more and more, joining the attack.
Inside Uranus, its operators panicked yet continued to fire relentlessly, their beams hammering the planet itself.
Seawater evaporated in an instant, gouging out a colossal crater. Shockwaves rippled outward from the blast, spreading across the world.
The Red Line began to crack due to the earthquakes. The most powerful destruction in the world was seismic upheaval.
When Uranus' energy penetrated underground, disturbing the magma flows, the entire world began to move.
This energy grew larger and more terrifying as it propagated.
CRACK!
Sakazuki and the others at the Red Port witnessed a scene they would never forget.
The Red Line split apart. Above Fish-Man Island, 10,000 meters below the sea, a huge chasm appeared.
The world faced a cataclysmic transformation.
The land was rising.
The seas were retreating!!
