In order to quickly eliminate the troublesome enemy, Golden Lion, Sengoku activated his Devil Fruit ability and entered his Buddha form. As golden light erupted from his body, the dazzling radiance condensed into a massive figure until, before everyone's eyes, a towering golden Buddha stood at the center of Naval Headquarters. Sengoku's years of training had not been limited to martial discipline alone; his Mythical Zoan–type Devil Fruit, the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu, had been developed continuously, and after entering his Great Buddha form, his overall combat strength surged dramatically.
With a roar of "Big Buddha Shockwave!" Sengoku released compressed currents of air from his enormous palms, the pressure forming visible shockwaves that burst outward. He slammed his hands forward, hurling a colossal shockwave toward Golden Lion. In response, Golden Lion bellowed, "Lion Majesty: Earth Coiling!" and unleashed the full might of his Fuwa Fuwa no Mi. The terrain beneath him floated, twisted, and compressed into enormous airborne lion heads, each the size of a warship and nearly matching the Buddha in scale. Their combined roar shook the battlefield as they lunged at Sengoku in a synchronized assault.
In the sky above Naval Headquarters, the clash between Buddha's shockwave and the airborne lions erupted violently. Yet Sengoku's refined mastery of his Devil Fruit prevailed—his amplified shockwaves tore through the lion heads like paper, obliterating them in bursts of light and sound before continuing forward toward Golden Lion himself. A cataclysmic explosion followed, dust and debris rising high as a thick smoke cloud veiled the battlefield. When it cleared, Golden Lion stood bleeding and battered. Despite his years of hard training and mastery of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi, he had walked a lonely path of strength, while Sengoku had been groomed directly by the World Government, honing elite martial disciplines and secret enhancements. In raw progression, Sengoku had clearly surpassed him.
Golden Lion cursed bitterly and charged once more, unwilling to concede, but Sengoku responded without hesitation, determined to crush his enemy with overwhelming force.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Naval Headquarters, another earth-shattering battle raged—Ayr versus Garp. Though Garp's body bore the deep marks of Ayr's earlier Lightning Style strikes and his stamina was heavily taxed, he continued trading blows with monstrous endurance, refusing to falter. Ayr was astonished; even wielding the power of the Rinnegan, the Gedo Statue, and the Ten Tails' chakra, he found himself pressed by Garp's iron will. Clearly, since the Valley of the Gods, Garp had undergone extraordinary enhancement, personally trained by the Five Elders within Mariejois, and now his strength rivaled and even surpassed most Yonko, placing him just beneath the Five Elders themselves.
Every punch he threw carried crushing might, and even against both Ayr and the Gedo Statue, Garp had yet to fall significantly behind. Ayr muttered with genuine admiration, "You're far more tenacious than I expected, Garp." The old Marine smirked through bloodied lips, "Hmph! Out of tricks already, Ayr?" He knew Ayr's abilities were vast, but if all he relied on was controlling the Gedo Statue with the Ten Tails, then this battle could still be won. Sengoku and Kaido still fought fiercely, Golden Lion had already sustained severe damage, and if the tide shifted, they could combine forces to bring Ayr down.
But Ayr's gaze hardened. "…Then I'll show you something you can't withstand, Garp." Drawing in a deep breath, he channeled a vast torrent of Ten Tails chakra into the Gedo Statue, not merely summoning its husk but infusing it with origin-level power. A dreadful aura spread across the battlefield, heavy and suffocating. The Gedo Statue opened its colossal jaws as Ayr declared, "Tailed Beast Bomb!" Black and purple chakra spiraled together into a swelling orb that pulsed violently, radiating destructive energy beyond anything seen before. Unlike the earlier blast at Mariejois, fueled by only a fraction of the Ten Tails' chakra, this one was charged with nearly its full might. The result was catastrophic—an orb of annihilation so immense that even Garp's hair bristled with the chill of death.
"AYR!!!" Garp roared, hurling himself forward with explosive speed, desperate to stop it before it struck the headquarters. But Ayr's cold reply cut through the chaos: "You're too late." At the instant Garp closed in, the Gedo Statue's roar shook the world, and the massive Tailed Beast Bomb was released. The heavens tore apart as the blast shot forward, shattering the dark clouds and forming a spiraling hole in the atmosphere. A hurricane-like ripple engulfed Naval Headquarters, vaporizing the few surviving structures. The very symbol of Marine justice crumbled into ruins as red-hot debris and thick smoke filled the sky.
The detonation pierced the island itself, tearing open a crater so vast it split into the seafloor. Seawater rushed in, flooding the shattered remains of the headquarters, mixing with molten stone and broken steel. Silence fell across the battlefield, broken only by the tearing groan of the sea itself. With a single attack, Ayr's Tailed Beast Bomb had completely penetrated Naval Headquarters, annihilating what had stood as the Marine's ultimate bastion of power.
This was no mere victory—it was a declaration. Ayr's strength had reached a level where even the symbol of Marine dominance could be destroyed in one devastating blow.
