Heavenfall
"Boom--!"
"Navy!! How dare you--!"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's roar was like a thunderclap, shattering the entire sea of clouds, and a fierce wind swept upwards.
However, before the words had even finished—
Roy raised his hand, and the space in his palm suddenly collapsed, the air compressed to the point of almost exploding.
"Hmph... Here's a little something for you to start with."
The space between heaven and earth suddenly twisted.
The next second, it was as if the sky had been cleaved open by Razor--
A rift of light and wind tore open from the sky, followed by Thunderclap roar.
A massive shadow slowly emerged from the spatial rift—
That was a gigantic floating island!
The entire island stretched across the sky, surrounded by fierce winds, and at its highest point, a figure stood proudly.
His Blond Hair was like flames, his black cloak Hunting Roar, and his eyes burned with the fire of war.
--It was none other than Sabo, the Chief of Staff the Revolutionary Army!
The island beneath his feet was supported by the power of the "Float-Float Fruit," and the entire island slowly floated and tilted under his will.
"Haha--Here comes Roy!!"
Sabo's laughter boomed through the storm, filled with boundless pride and fighting spirit!
"Sabo--!"
Ace and Luffy shouted at the same time, their voices filled with surprise and excitement.
Sabo's laughter echoed through the sky as he slammed his hands down, his voice accompanied by a roar:
"The Heavenfall!!"
"Boom--!"
The airflow from the Float-Float Fruit reversed, and a massive air Impact, equivalent to billions of tons, poured down. The entire island accelerated violently under Sabo's power, like a burning red Meteor Fall to earth!
At the same time, Roy clasped his hands together, and the immense pressure of space was superimposed on his falling trajectory.
The spatial collapse and the force of levitation and fall are perfectly combined to create a devastating Impact!
The blazing flames tore through the clouds, the air was compressed into high-temperature plasma, and light and wind intertwined in the trajectory of the falling object to form a fiery red meteorite that illuminated the entire world.
"Roar--!"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter roared to the sky, while the giant Sandworm struggled frantically, its body shimmering with golden patterns, spewing forth brilliant golden energy pillars from its mouth.
But in the shadow of that island that Heavenfall —all light seemed small and hopeless.
"Boom--!"
At that moment, the world collapsed.
A deafening roar swallowed all other sounds as the island collided head-on with Pangaea Castle, the energy waves sweeping across the sky like a tsunami.
The roar of the Sandworm behemoth was instantly engulfed by the flames, and the figures of Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and Pangaea Castle were completely submerged in the explosion of light.
Flames and rubble shot into the sky, the light piercing the heavens. At that moment, heaven and earth seemed to merge into one, and even the world itself trembled.
Dust swirled, flames raged, and the once high plateau of Mary Geoise had long since turned into Scorched Earth.
The massive island that Sabo and Roy manipulated together and Heavenfall —now lies silently embedded in the crater, which spans tens of kilometers in diameter.
It completely buried the former Holy Land, like a tombstone standing across world history.
On the scorched earth, flames still burned dimly, and distorted heat waves filled the air.
As the storm subsided, Sabo flew down from the sky and landed steadily in mid-air, facing Ace and Luffy. The three smiled at each other, and their fists collided at the same time.
"It's been so long since we fought side by side--"
Ace spoke with a smile, his voice warm and familiar.
"Haha! That attack was so cool!" Luffy laughed excitedly.
Sabo coughed lightly and replied with a smile, "Alright, alright, don't shout my name so loudly next time. You've spoiled the plot before I even appear on screen."
However, their smiles lasted only a moment.
When the three brothers turned their heads at the same time, they saw Roy and Garp floating in mid-air—both with serious expressions.
Ace frowned, his voice slightly tense. "Grandpa, Roy... what's wrong?"
"Could it be that they can still survive such an attack?"
Before the words were even finished, the ground suddenly began to tremble.
"Buzz--!"
A deep resonance emanated from the center of the island, as if some kind of seal had been torn apart.
Then—a blinding black light flashed across the entire island!
Dark energy swirled in the sky, forming a massive Pentagram Array, with runes twisting and surging, writhing like living things.
The air currents of the entire world were pulled apart by that force, even the sunlight was swallowed up, and the surroundings were shrouded in an eerie dark red hue.
"--Here he comes."
The next moment, the center of the Pentagram Array suddenly exploded, and four enormous black shadows roared out from the dark cracks!
"Roar--!"
The first to charge out was a half-human, half-skeleton horse—that was Saint Nusjuro's Human-Beast Form!
He is about six meters tall, with the lower body being the limbs of a skeletal horse covered in a bony shell, while the upper body retains a human form. He is dressed in a white kimono, and his eyes gleam with a cold, eerie blue light.
He drew the legendary Famous Sword, the First Generation Kitetsu, with his Right Hand.
The blade was as black as ink, with a thick layer of white, cold mist condensing on its edge. The air around it froze, making crackling sounds.
"Die!"
Saint Nusjuro roared and suddenly swung his sword!
Iai Slash
In that instant, the world changed color—
The blade Sky Splitter, transforming into an ice-blue slash hundreds of meters wide, carrying terrifying cold that could freeze the air instantly, heading straight for Roy, Garp, and the others in mid-air!
"So fast--!" Sabo's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise.
The speed of that slash was so fast that the air didn't even have time to groan; with just a flash of light, it seemed as if the heavens and earth had been cleaved in two.
But Roy and Garp, high in the sky, remained calm.
"Boom--!"
Two figures simultaneously emerged from behind Roy and Garp, accompanied by intense heat and violent air currents!
"Leave it to us!"
Ace ignited his hands with raging flames, which swirled and gathered between his arms, transforming into a massive flaming blade that illuminated the entire sky.
He roared loudly, charging towards the icy blue sword energy with a surging heat wave!
"Flame Slash--!"
Almost simultaneously, Luffy's half- Dragonization body trembled violently, his scales shimmering with a golden-red light in the sunlight, his chest bulged, and a booming sound came from his throat!
"Dragon Breath--!"
With a roar, a blazing white, high-temperature Dragon Breath erupted from Luffy's mouth, the flames and Shockwave merging into a devastating fire dragon storm in the air!
"--boom!!"
Flames and frost collided violently in mid-air, the explosion illuminating the entire sky and tearing the clouds apart with the Shockwave.
The forces of intense heat and extreme cold devoured each other, and firelight and ice crystal fragments fell like rain, igniting the ruins below.
Ace and Luffy's Combined Strike shattered the ice slash in mid-air, and the explosive shockwave compressed the surrounding air into a sound barrier!
"What was that thing just now?!" Luffy steadied himself against the wind pressure, his dragon eyes fixed intently on the ground below.
"This aura... there's more than one," Ace murmured.
The next moment--
The Pentagram Array burst forth with blinding black light, and one after another, tall figures slowly stepped out from the teleportation array.
An ancient aura spread out, and a sense of oppression enveloped the world.
Saint Garling, Saint Shamrock, Saint Killingham... and -- that splash of red carried by the wind.
He slowly removed his hood, revealing a head of familiar and dazzling Red-Hair.
A fierce wind swept by, and his cloak billowed between light and dust.
That's -- Shanks.
He looked down at Mary Geoise, which had long since turned to Scorched Earth, and then looked up at Roy was coldly looking down from the sky.
A gust of wind swept between the two, carrying with it a stream of flames and ashes. His Red-Hair fluttered gently, and light flickered in his eyes, yet he could not conceal a complex emotion.
"How..."
He murmured, his voice almost drowned out by the wind, yet everyone could hear him clearly.
"It suddenly developed into this situation, didn't it— Roy?"
The wind has stopped.
The crackling of flames, the falling ice crystals, the whistling of wind breaking—
At this moment, everything stood still.
