"Then allow me to show you... the true power, Rocks."

Only a few Marines truly knew what transpired during the Holy Land Mariejois battle.

"Hey, hey... Are you serious? Are you saying Ayr and Edward Newgate actually invaded Mariejois and killed three of the Five Elders?"

Now, Ayr wasn't just holding back. He was about to unleash the entire power of the Ten Tails—no restraint.

Many thought what they were seeing now was the same power Ayr used during that legendary confrontation.

But in truth... Ayr had grown even stronger since then.

As the crowd reeled from the overwhelming pressure, they recalled how Ayr had once fought four Five Elders alone—and killed three of them.

(This chapter includes illustrations. Tap the "Illustration" icon at the bottom-right corner to view.)

But there was no time to dwell.

The Six Paths Tin Staff, wielded by the original Sage of Six Paths, was now in Ayr's hands—one of the most formidable weapons in shinobi history.

Many within Marine Headquarters once dismissed the battle of Mariejois as pure myth.

But Ayr... Ayr had been there.

Back then, due to the efforts of Commander-in-Chief Kong and others, the full truth was hidden.

Most Marines had no idea.

Kong knew Ayr would never have challenged Rocks without absolute confidence in his ability to win—through sheer force.

But this time, Ayr wasn't using just fragments of the Ten Tails' chakra.

The fully awakened Ten Tails flooded its power directly into Ayr's body—without limit.

Calmly, Ayr returned his blade to its sheath, his sharp gaze locked on Rocks.

Seeing this, Kizaru involuntarily took a step back—his face pale with shock.

The Ayr standing here now looked vastly different from the one who appeared in Mariejois.

That battle, the Battle of the Holy Land, had left a deep impression on everyone present.

They could feel the energy pouring out of him—swirling, divine, suffocating.

With the Ten Tails' might flowing through him, Ayr's presence blurred the line between man and god.

It felt unreal—like a dream.

Rocks, for a moment, was stunned. But then, a wide grin stretched across his face.

"Ten Tails?!"

"What... you're saying Ayr is stronger now than he was then?"

But the world has no secrets that remain buried forever.

The battle at Mariejois had caused shockwaves across the seas—ripples that couldn't be fully erased.

And now, it was clear: the rumors were all true.

The Truth-Seeking Balls, floating behind Ayr, weren't just for defense—they held world-shattering destructive power.

"He... he was the one who fought four of the Five Elders alone and killed three! Was this the power he used back then?" Tea Dolphin whispered, sweat trailing down his back.

Hearing this, Momousagi's face turned pale with horror.

Ayr was now fully clad in the Sage of Six Paths robes—a true reflection of the man from legends.

This... this was no imposter.

This was the real Sage of Six Paths.

The same one who once razed the Holy Land.

"You... you're joking, right? Vice Admiral Borsalino... you're saying he was the one who killed the Elders back then? And he's stronger now?! What level of power are we talking about here?!"

The World Government had tried to bury the truth—to deny it even happened.

Back then, Ayr hadn't even summoned the Truth-Seeking Balls or wielded the Six Paths Staff. He hadn't even donned the Six Paths robes.

But many curious Marines later conducted quiet investigations.

Now, red steam—ominous and unnatural—coiled around Ayr like a phantom.

It was a clear signal: his aura had reached terrifying new heights.

Behind him, multiple Truth-Seeking Balls hovered.

This was proof that the power Ayr now displayed was the true force behind the battle at Mariejois.

In that confrontation, Ayr had fought four Elders and cut down three.

With a solemn tone, Kizaru muttered, "His current state... it feels even more powerful than before."

"What... what?!"

The aftermath of that battle did reach Marine Headquarters eventually.

The truth was that Ayr and Whitebeard had indeed broken into the Holy Land.

"No," Kizaru added, narrowing his eyes, "it's similar to that battle... but look carefully. It's different. It's stronger. More refined."

Many believed the legends had been exaggerated—tales of impossible feats.

But now, Ayr wielded the Six Paths Tin Staff, confirming it all.

The truth about the Holy Land was finally undeniable.

But none of them—none—had ever fought the Five Elders before.

Let alone killed them.

So why would someone resurrect such a dangerous individual like Rocks?

The aura Ayr now gave off distorted even space itself.

Kizaru knew it: this power went beyond what he saw in the past.

This wasn't like defeating Big Mom or Kaido.

This was the real, complete Sage of Six Paths.

Ayr exhaled lightly—zha—and awakened the sleeping Ten Tails within.

At Kizaru's next words, the surrounding officers—Chagu, Ghost Spider, Huo Shaoyun, Mole, Momousagi—all trembled.

Kizaru had seen Ayr up close in Mariejois. He knew what he was talking about.

This kind of power... it could level mountains, split seas, and tear the sky asunder.

"There's no way we Marines can fight against something like that," Kizaru said grimly, after a long silence.

Behind Ayr, the Truth-Seeking Balls floated ominously.

Even standing still, Ayr's aura alone weighed down on everyone like gravity from another world.

At the time, Marshal Kong had publicly denied the rumors.

But these black orbs—capable of nullifying ninjutsu, Haki, and devil fruit abilities—could no longer be hidden.

The pressure Ayr radiated swelled instantly, suffocating everyone who felt it.

These spheres—made of yin, yang, and the five elements—could erase anything in their path.

Now, the world could finally witness the real power that Ayr had used in Mariejois—and even more beyond it.

This staff—held by the original Sage of Six Paths—had returned to battle.

A weapon of divine judgment capable of world erasure.

Back then, Ayr's overwhelming power had been so far beyond comprehension that most dismissed it as fiction.

The World Government, fearing panic, suppressed all news.

But here stood Ayr once more—wearing the robes of the Sage, holding the Six Paths staff, with Truth-Seeking Balls floating like silent gods of destruction.

Kong had once claimed it was all rumor.

But now, there could be no doubt.

The power of the Ten Tails surged endlessly into Ayr's body.

"Oh? So you were hiding this much strength all along?" Rocks asked with a smirk.

Today, Kizaru—who had once followed Kong into Mariejois—finally admitted the truth to those around him.

The others exhaled in shared relief and terror.

This was the first time Ayr had fully unleashed his Sage of Six Paths form since arriving in this world.

His bounty wasn't just about killing Celestial Dragons.

It was about the threat he posed to the entire world.
