"Garp Vice Admiral!!!"

Three against two—no matter how they analyzed it—Marine officers were convinced they still had a fighting chance. Yet, as the central section of Naval Headquarters shattered under divine pressure, countless Marine soldiers stared in terror.

Their fear wasn't irrational—it stemmed from one name: Ayr.

"Today… let this Naval Headquarters become a coral graveyard—dragged to the depths!" Ayr's voice was calm but thunderous, echoing across the battlefield.

The moment Ayr had arrived, the meteorites summoned via Tengai Shinsei ravaged Marineford's core. Hope now lay not in victory but in survival—and in the slim chance that Ayr would leave without total annihilation.

Even with Kong and Sengoku joining forces, they could not guarantee the island's safety. Sengoku, while grappling with the rampaging Golden Lion, caught sight of the destruction and gasped, his pupils constricting in disbelief.

After unleashing Tengai Shinsei, Ayr calmly retreated with Vegapunk in tow. He showed no intention to continue battling the scattered Marine elites. His goal had been achieved—force through, take the man, and depart.

Suddenly, a Marine soldier shrieked.

"Garp's combat strength… it's already higher than one of the Five Elders! And he still lost?!"

"How can one man have so many techniques of utter despair?"

"You've got Vegapunk—so the battle is over, Ayr!"

But they knew better. The second summoning of Tengai Shinsei was even more devastating. The meteorite hurtling down now was several times larger than the first!

No one imagined Garp would fall so soon. Even Kong hadn't expected it.

Just moments ago, Marines had been preparing to let Ayr go in exchange for peace. But now?

He was the one pressing them.

With each summoning, the scale of Ayr's meteorites grew exponentially. Panic spread among the ranks as they stared skyward, where a flaming inferno eclipsed the sun.

In front of monstrous beings like Ayr, Kaido, and the Golden Lion, ordinary soldiers were utterly meaningless.

For Vegapunk's sake alone, Ayr had come. His actions were ruthless—but always calculated.

No one predicted that the Tailed Beast Bomb launched by Ayr via the Gedo Statue would punch a crater through Marineford's foundation.

Ayr clasped his hands with a dull thud, murmuring the jutsu again.

Even the disintegrating fragments of this meteorite could obliterate Marine Headquarters!

He wasn't here for the glory. He didn't want this war—but if they dragged it out, he'd end it his way.

And even the mighty Garp… couldn't stop him.

With the massive meteorite now impossible to counter, Sengoku's golden Buddha form cracked under pressure.

"Damn it!!! That meteorite… there's no way to stop it!!!"

Their earlier confidence, their bravado—it crumbled in an instant.

Ayr had faced arrest without flinching—but now, the moment he returned, they saw why.

Upon entering Marineford, he had launched Tengai Shinsei immediately.

"Jie ha ha ha ha… Garp's down! Marines are screwed!" the Golden Lion bellowed with mad delight.

Even Marine strategists knew: if the battle continued, it would end in their ruin.

"You can't stop me," Ayr said coldly. "You've already lost."

Shivers ran down countless spines. Marines collapsed from shock.

Marineford looked like a raft being torn apart by a maelstrom.

"Damn it… even with current Garp at his peak, is he no match for Ayr?" Kong gritted his teeth, fists clenched.

"Garp Vice Admiral's strength is one of our highest—but he still couldn't stop him?!"

Above them, an unimaginably huge meteorite descended, flames rippling like a god's fury.

Ayr had been at Marineford before. The soldiers remembered all too well what he'd done.

Now he approached again—this time, walking toward Vegapunk, who stood calmly as Marines shielded him.

Whether Ayr next turned to aid Kaido or the Golden Lion, it was over.

A monstrous roar echoed from the heavens.

"You… what are you planning to do?!"

Looking up, countless Marines gave up resisting, some fainting, others praying.

Now that Garp was defeated, only Kong and Sengoku remained at the top.

Meanwhile, Vegapunk—hidden in the base these past days—finally appeared from the depths.

As news of his presence spread, Marines looked over and saw him stepping forward from the shadows.

Even Kaido and Golden Lion, upon seeing the looming meteorite, paused.

"Garp lost that quickly?!"

"Ayr—we brought you the man you wanted!" a Vice Admiral cried out.

Beneath that apocalyptic meteorite, the earth trembled.

"Boom!!!"

"Leave Vegapunk to me," Ayr said as he walked forward.

"If you had handed him over at the start, I would've left. But now?" He smirked. "You think I'll just walk away after this much blood has been spilled?"

Though rough and battle-scarred, Ayr's mastery over Conqueror's Haki radiated through the air like a crushing sea.

Two days earlier, Akainu and his group had brought Vegapunk back secretly. Now, it was all unraveling.

"This guy isn't a man… or even a monster… but a demon," a Marine whispered hoarsely.

The meteorite finally hit.

A loud, crushing impact shook the sea, sending shockwaves that spawned a thousand-meter-high tsunami.

Ayr had refused compromise because he knew they couldn't stop him—not even combined with Golden Lion and Kaido.

It had always been his victory to claim.

Had they surrendered Vegapunk earlier, perhaps they could have saved Marineford.

But now?

The entire fortress of justice was about to vanish beneath the sea.

Kong and Sengoku could only watch in cold dread.

"Garp!!"

"How could Vice Admiral Garp lose?!"

With no options left, the Marines had finally brought Vegapunk out.

But it was too late.

"It's not that simple…" Kaido laughed deeply.

Vegapunk stepped forward.

"I knew you'd come, Mr. Ayr," he said, smiling calmly despite the chaos.

Across the battlefield—

"Tengai Shinsei!!!"

The technique triggered again—shaking heaven and sea.

Kaido, no match for Kong alone, had already been pushed back in earlier clashes.

Now, the new meteorite was dozens of times the size of Marineford.

Unless a Marine possessed some mythical Devil Fruit that could reverse time or rewrite reality—nothing could stop this.

Even Kong's relentless strikes couldn't break Ayr's defenses.

Now, with Garp defeated and Ayr still unscathed, this battle was over.

He raised his hand.

"Let it all be buried beneath the sea…"

A trembling Vice Admiral whimpered: "H-he really intends to… sink us all…"

Vegapunk watched Ayr in silence—knowing well how terrifying his strength truly was.
