Moon, Infinite Land
On this satellite, given this name, there was an ancient civilization that had already been destroyed, along with murals describing ancient history.
On these murals, the ancient civilization of the Infinite Land was once extremely developed.
Their technology flourished, but until a certain catastrophe, the lunar civilization was destroyed, leaving only a large number of robots and factories.
And the surviving remnants of this civilization left their homeland and traveled to the planet in front of them.
These winged survivors fortunately landed on the white clouds of the Blue Sea, where they rebuilt a nation.
But after an unknown period, the great nation at the end of the Blue Sea vanished and declined, just like the once immensely huge 'D' nation on the sea.
History and the past were buried in the long river of time, completely losing the last person to remember it.
That civilization and everything from its past also died.
And on this cold lunar surface, a silver-white Gundam, named 'Balor,' stood quietly, gazing at the vast planet almost entirely composed of ocean.
In front of Balor was an already built beacon, a giant structure resembling an accelerated track, a precursor technology to a mass driver.
Its greatest function - was to calibrate coordinates.
"Soon, soon, the old monster hiding behind the scenes should come out."
Shin, sitting on Balor's shoulder, looked at the pocket watch in his hand, murmuring.
After more than a year of preparation and painstaking planning, he now had a total of 13 million virtual evaluation points in his account.
This infinitely magnified Marineford War brought him huge profits.
The world was indeed turned upside down in his hands.
But it wasn't enough, far from enough.
To truly change the world, everything achieved so far was still nothing.
The real change... ultimately had to touch the core of this world!
What was the core of the world? Was it the protagonist Straw Hat crew? No, it wasn't.
A dynamic world doesn't pay for the future.
The current Luffy was just a 'minor character.'
His true target had always been the most mysterious person in Pangaea Castle, the owner of the Empty Throne, the true ruler of the world.
If the old king wasn't killed, the new regime would have no possibility of rebuilding everything.
As long as they held that mysterious final Ancient Weapon, 'Uranus,' which was said to be able to reset the world, the World Government and Celestial Dragons' rule would not end easily.
At least until now, Shin hadn't received any notification about the end of Celestial Dragon rule.
"The final step." Shin crossed his hands, speaking softly.
"It's time for the Marineford War to reach its absolute peak!"
Holy Land Mary Geoise
The once glorious city in the clouds now burned in flames.
Koala's nuclear bomb exploded above Mary Geoise, destroying half of the magnificent city, and the subsequent fires spread wildly throughout Mary Geoise.
Never before, not even the utterly rebellious Fisher Tiger, had caused such a terrifying disaster, trampling the Celestial Dragons' faces into the dirt, and even truly threatening their rule.
Countless slaves escaped, seizing the opportunity presented by Mary Geoise's destruction.
Most of them had no idea where to go, but even jumping off the Red Line to meet death was better than living a life worse than death under the Celestial Dragons.
But more enraged slaves chose to follow behind the current Revolutionary Army's Fujitora, to hunt down the Celestial Dragons.
"It's best for everyone to leave here as soon as possible. If you continue to follow me, you will eventually die."
Fujitora looked at the slaves behind him, holding weapons and with grim faces, and said lightly.
The other Revolutionary Army members had already left Mary Geoise aboard crows.
This judgment was correct, because if they didn't leave soon, the returning Celestial Dragon's Shield would likely ensure they stayed there forever.
This had little to do with justice; it was merely a matter of doing as much as one was capable of.
And for Fujitora, he chose to stay because his abilities allowed him to do more.
"Please don't mind us, hero, we just want revenge on those Celestial Dragons!"
A male slave gripped his spear, roaring loudly.
"My wife was taken as a slave by those devils! The child in my wife's belly was dug out and played with like a toy! I want them to pay tenfold, no, a hundredfold the suffering!!!"
Fujitora fell silent.
Being blind was actually a good thing.
In this world full of sin and darkness, serene darkness was much better than reality.
Hatred, resentment, madness.
What surrounded this group of people was an extremely extreme and mad intention.
People who had experienced extreme pain and resentment, once they rose up, would become even more extreme devils.
This was normal.
Even if Fujitora didn't like such people, he didn't deny the rationality of their extremism.
Without experiencing another's suffering, what right does one have to persuade others to be magnanimous?
Fujitora once thought about joining the Marines to change the World Government from within, but after personally witnessing the Celestial Dragons' sins, Fujitora felt that his previous thoughts might have been too soft.
These trash and waste shouldn't even have the right to exist in this world.
As long as this city on the clouds existed for one day, it was an unlimited blasphemy against justice and fairness.
Thinking this, Fujitora gently drew his sword.
The Grav-Grav Fruit's ability activated, crushing a large section of the buildings in front of him!
"Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger!"
Under Fujitora's exquisite control of his ability, the shattered buildings largely maintained their internal integrity, meaning the lives of the family of Celestial Dragons inside were preserved.
The three lavishly dressed Celestial Dragons huddled together in terror, seemingly a family of three.
The one who appeared to be the father shakily stood up, shielding his wife and child behind him, and roared loudly.
"You lowly slaves, how dare you blaspheme against divine beings! You will soon face divine punishment and die miserably! Now get out of my Mjosgard Rosward's sight immediately, and I can forgive your blasphemy!"
Fujitora gently shook his head.
Even demons like the Celestial Dragons had a humane side, but this so-called humanity was only built upon their cruel pride.
Descendants of the nineteen heroes who created the world? Even if their ancestors were truly such great figures, passed down to today, they were just a bunch of trash.
Mjosgard Rosward's words seemed to trigger some instinctive fear in the slaves, but the Celestial Dragon son he protected behind him, snot running down his face, angrily yelled.
"Dad, I want all those slaves fed to dogs! All my collections are gone, all gone!!!"
Mjosgard Rosward's face showed a horrified expression.
As expected, the slaves' fear had completely vanished at his son's bold voice.
"Tear them to pieces!!!"
With the leading slave's roar, this group of slaves, who had been oppressed and tortured for an unknown period, rushed over.
Amidst the three Celestial Dragons' screams of terror, they began brutal and direct torture and retaliation.
The Celestial Dragons' flesh was bitten off, their blood drunk.
Every piece of their flesh was torn, every bone broken!
Fujitora quietly 'watched' all of this.
He constantly held a projection Den Den Mushi, transmitting this cruel act of revenge to the entire world.
He was showing the whole world that the so-called descendants of gods were merely a group of inbred incompetents, neither divine nor noble.
'Lowly' slaves could tear them to shreds.
Fujitora had always been puzzled by how the Celestial Dragons could consistently dominate the Marines.
But upon arriving at Mary Geoise, he seemed to understand why.
The great fire spreading through Mary Geoise had never reached the side of Pangaea Castle.
An invisible force emanated from Pangaea Castle, keeping all the flames out.
And that colossal city constantly gave Fujitora a strong sense of unease.
The cruel revenge and torture continued.
The red-eyed slaves devoured their flesh, slept in their skin, committing beastly atrocities, wailing like night owls.
But just then, several white figures suddenly descended from the sky!
They appeared in mid-air without warning, then plummeted down.
Four of these white figures attacked Fujitora, while one white figure landed among the slaves who were slaughtering the Celestial Dragons.
"Beasts who blaspheme the bloodline of gods, you deserve to die!"
The white CP0 appeared among the slaves, coldly unleashing a Rankyaku (Tempest Kick), tearing open a huge vacuum vortex that sucked the slaves in and shredded them into pieces.
Meanwhile, Fujitora was powerless to support them.
At the same time, he faced the encirclement of four top CP0 agents!
An invisible field interfered with Fujitora's martial arts and activated abilities.
One of the CP0 members seemed to possess a Devil Fruit ability that could create an interfering field.
As long as he was within the field, Fujitora's speed and abilities would be greatly reduced, accompanied by the danger of being swept into an invisible vortex and torn to pieces.
"Is it the Field-Field Fruit..."
Fujitora's expression darkened.
He had learned quite a bit about the top CP0 agents from the Revolutionary Army, as the Revolutionary Army had clashed with them many times.
CP0 lacked directly suppressive powerhouses like Marine Admirals, but that didn't mean they were weak.
The top six CP0 agents could simultaneously contend with the three Admirals and even gain a slight advantage.
Because they were not just strong without blind spots, with Haki, martial arts, and more importantly, seamless teamwork combined with Devil Fruit abilities, each one was like an arm to the others.
Fujitora was now experiencing this feeling of being flanked.
The opponent's Field-Field Fruit user precisely created interfering fields at every one of Fujitora's footfalls, while the other three's martial arts moves were all lethal, each attack aimed at a single fatal point for Fujitora.
Clean, decisive martial arts, not absolutely perfect but impeccable Armament Haki and Observation Haki; every CP0 agent was like a perfectly crafted killing machine.
After only a few exchanges, Fujitora was completely at a disadvantage.
If he delayed any longer, Fujitora would be surrounded and killed within ten moves!
Although Fujitora relied on his Devil Fruit ability, he was also a great swordsman on the sea, but against the encirclement of these CP0 agents, his swordsmanship was completely suppressed.
CP0 coldly carried out their work.
They had to speed up, clear out the invaders in Mary Geoise, and then immediately rush back to Marineford to deal with the pirates there!
"Although this old man no longer values his life, this crippled body still has other useful purposes."
After Fujitora barely repelled the CP0 agents with his Gravity Blade, he lowered his body, tensed all his muscles, and said in a deep voice.
"Since you are so eager to take this old man's life, it means the situation at Marineford must be grim - if so, then take this one strike from me!"
"Gravity Blade: Hell-Fire Sacrifice!"
Fujitora released the gravity around him, and the stones beneath his feet lifted him into the air.
He swung his blade, and the next moment, a booming sound echoed from the sky.
His power dragged five meteors circling beyond the planet's orbit, sending them crashing towards Pangaea Castle.
"Gravity Fruit, huh? A tricky one!"
A CP0 agent said in a low voice, but unhesitatingly pulled two people and started Moonwalking towards Pangaea Castle.
Fujitora then used a fierce Tiger strike to force back two CP0 agents, and without hesitation, controlled gravity to fly out of Mary Geoise.
Staying would undoubtedly be suicidal.
Most importantly, he had felt a gaze directed at him from the direction of Pangaea Castle!
Fujitora couldn't describe the chilling sensation that spread down his spine in that instant, as if his bloodline was frozen, a fear that emanated from the depths of his soul.
The CP0 agents did not pursue Fujitora; their job was merely to repel the intruders in Mary Geoise.
Chasing a Gravity Fruit user who was determined to escape would take too much time.
Just before Fujitora left Mary Geoise, he personally saw the meteor he had summoned disappear instantly the moment it was about to reach the sky above Pangaea Castle!
It was as if the surrounding space, along with the meteor, had been shifted by an invisible force, vanishing without a trace in an instant!
Fujitora slightly opened his blind eyes, looked up at the boundless white clouds, and said in a low voice.
"My technique didn't work. I wonder if yours... can."
