A dazzling white light exploded high above the sky.
Countless pieces of rubble from the shattered ruins rained down toward the sea and the pirate ships below.
All the pirates engaged in battle aboard the vessels couldn't help but raise their heads.
"H-Howā¦ how is this possible? Admiral Shiki's move was destroyed by Ayr's attack!!!"
"Admiral Shikiā¦ those ruins he painstakingly collected for years in the New World... wiped out by Ayr in an instant?!"
"Could Ayr's strength... actually surpass Admiral Shiki's?!"
Numerous pirates stared in disbelief at the endless debris falling from the sky.
The massive ruins, spanning thousands of meters, were completely annihilated by a single blow from Ayr!
This scene left them speechless, unable to recover their composure.
"And look! Admiral Shiki... he's injured!!!"
"Seven Six Seven!"
A pirate suddenly shouted, and following his reminder, all eyes shifted toward the Golden Lion.
They saw the Golden Lion nowāhis once-pristine clothes shredded, his body drenched in blood, looking utterly battered and embarrassed.
"You've gotta be kidding me! Ayr didn't just neutralize Admiral Shiki's grand moveā¦ he even wounded him!!!"
"Even if I don't want to admit itā¦ I can't help but feel Ayr's strength exceeds Admiral Shiki's!"
"Damn it! Is this monster... the strongest pirate in the entire New World?!"
Staring at the injured Golden Lion and feeling the awe-inspiring presence of Ayr towering above like an invincible mountainā
Every pirate, without exception, felt a seed of despair take root in their hearts.
The thought that Ayr was truly unbeatable haunted them.
Meanwhile, Roger, still engaged in his fierce aerial battle against Kaido, couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of Ayr's overwhelming might.
"Hahahaā¦ Truly incredible, Ayr!!!"
Even Roger, the Pirate King himself, was slightly shocked by the move Ayr had just unleashed.
Such terrifying destructive forceāobliterating ruins that stretched across thousands of metersāand even wounding Shiki in the process.
Even Roger wasn't confident he could replicate such devastation so casually!
Roger found himself unconsciously recalling the words Ayr had spoken back in DeRosta.
How Ayr had stormed the Holy Land of Mariejois, slain three of the Five Elders, and even clashed with Imu, the mysterious sovereign ruling from the shadows.
Originally, Roger had been skeptical of such outrageous claims.
But after witnessing Ayr's raw power firsthandā
He was now truly convinced.
On the battlefield, Kaido growled toward the battered Golden Lion.
"Shiki! If you fall here to Ayr, then your dream of dominating the world will be crushed!!!"
Kaido had only allied with the Golden Lion to create a balance of power against threats like Ayr, Whitebeard, and Roger.
Their plan was to ignite an unprecedented, all-encompassing war that would engulf the entire world in chaos.
But now, Kaido realized grimlyā
The current world would not move at his or Shiki's whim.
It would move according to Ayr's will!
After all, Ayr wasn't just the strongest pirate in the New Worldāhe had complicated ties to both Whitebeard and Roger as well!
With the might of these three forces united, Kaido alone couldn't hope to shake the world.
Only by joining forces with Shiki could he hope to unleash a world-shattering war!
Thus, Kaido didn't want to see the Golden Lion fall so easily.
Butā
"Rather than worrying about the battle over thereā¦ you should be focusing on me, Kaido!"
Roger roared as he slashed at Kaido with Ace, his supreme-grade sword.
"You think I'm scared of you, Roger?!" Kaido bellowed, charging directly at him with unstoppable momentum.
At the same time, Jhin, perched on Kaido's shoulder, transformed into a giant, black, toothless pterosaur and soared into the air, launching himself at Roger.
As for Queenāhe had already joined the Golden Lion's subordinate pirates in the lower battlefield when the war began.
Unable to fly, he couldn't participate in the midair combat.
Thus, Roger now faced both Kaido and Jhin alone.
Yet, there wasn't a hint of fear on his face.
On the contrary, Roger's blood boiled with excitement.
"Come, Kaido! Jhin!"
"Let's split the heavens apart!!!"
Roger leapt high into the air, using the Moonwalk techniqueāsimilar to the Six Powers' Geppo, honed through years of experience.
Clenching Ace with both hands, his blade erupted with Armament Haki and a thick surge of Conqueror's Haki, crackling around him like black lightning.
He swung his sword fiercelyā
A terrifying blast of sword energy shot out, instantly tearing through the sky.
The atmosphere itself split apart as if cleaved by a divine force.
Splitting the Sky wasn't a casual move like "Divine Departure" (Kamuyari).
In the original manga, Roger and Oden had clashed with Divine Departure casually as soon as they met.
This proved that Kamuyari, while powerful, was merely a standard high-level technique for Roger.
But Splitting the Skyā
It was a true ultimate move, channeling the full might of Roger's strength and supreme swordsmanship.
As the name implied, this strike could literally rend the heavens apart.
"Heat Breath!!!"
Kaido opened his massive maw.
A moment later, a torrent of searing energy condensed at the center of his throat.
The surrounding air boiled and shimmered from the unbearable heat.
In the next instant, Kaido unleashed a colossal shockwave of roaring flames, surging forward like a solar flare aimed directly at Roger.
"Fire Dragon King!!!"
Meanwhile, Jhin wrapped his katana in black Armament Haki and covered it with his signature scorching flames.
The blade radiated a terrifying magma-like heat, exuding murderous aura.
"Shh!!!"
Blue veins popped across Jhin's arms as he unleashed his full might, swinging his sword violently.
The sword aura transformed into a massive fire dragon, roaring ferociously as it charged at Roger.
"BOOM!!!"
Roger's Splitting the Sky collided with Kaido's Heat Breath and Jhin's Fire Dragon King slash.
The collision caused a cataclysmic explosion in midair, shaking the entire heavens and sea below.
The ocean violently surged, massive waves crashing in all directions.
The turbulence even created a vast, bottomless whirlpool on the sea surface.
Kaido's strength, though overwhelming, was still a notch below Roger's.
However, with Jhin's assistance, Kaido managed to barely hold his own against the Pirate King.
Meanwhileā
On another side of the battlefield.
Ayr faced the wounded Golden Lion.
"Youā¦ bastard!!!" Shiki spat blood, glaring at Ayr with eyes filled with fury.
He hadn't anticipated that Ayr's attack would be so utterly devastating.
One strikeā
The ruins he had painstakingly amassed over years were annihilated.
And worse yet, he was seriously injured in the process.
"As I said before... you're not my opponent, Shiki," Ayr stated calmly, his voice devoid of arrogance, merely stating a fact.
"Tch... Don't get ahead of yourself!!! This battle is far from over!!!"
Golden Lion roared, refusing to concede defeat.
