The Terrifying Star of Ruin

The immense gravity devoured everything, turning everything into nothingness. Teach watched this scene silently.

Gilman and Nickt, who had fled into the distance, also died, killed by Teach's attack, swallowed up and crushed.

Unexpectedly, their deaths occurred in this way: they died while on the run, a somewhat humiliating but also inevitable end.

However, Teach had unknowingly taken back their Devil Fruit abilities. The compression wasn't infinite; it was just much smaller than the large-scale gravitational field that would eventually form.

Finally, everything will be absorbed in an instant, heading towards the very center. The weaker ones will be crushed into mincemeat in an instant, while the stronger ones will hardly survive.

Under such immense pressure, few can withstand it.

Although the entire move was not under Teach's control, nor did Teach want to, he could only control the magnitude of the final power by gathering his strength.

These forces, pulled and squeezed towards the center by gravity, eventually disappear into thin air, their energy transmitted to other spaces through the gravitational distortion of space.

However, the space it teleported to was the Darkness Space inside Teach's body. Perhaps due to the fruit's power, "Star of Ruin" represents both the light sphere that Teach initially created and the infinitely compressed sphere that was ultimately formed, condensed and squeezed together from all the objects that were devoured and attracted.

No one can survive on that.

Therefore, the entire compressed sphere, along with Nickt and the others' Devil Fruit abilities, were sucked into the Darkness Space within Teach's body.

Devil Fruit powers cannot escape the Darkness Space unless Teach connected the Darkness Space to the outside world when he used his power.

But now, in Teach's perception, the two Devil Fruits have been reborn. In Teach's space, there are sturdy boxes specifically for storing things, capable of resisting Teach's dark pressure.

There was a rather large box filled with all sorts of fruits. This was prepared to steal the abilities of Devil Fruit. Two of the fruits inside had already been successfully transformed into Devil Fruit.

After all, these are two powerful abilities, and Teach doesn't want to let them go so easily. His ability to plunder Devil Fruit abilities will eventually be exposed and spread to others, but for now, he has no intention of revealing it.

Everyone was stunned, watching this scene unfold—the final manifestation of a power that destroyed everything.

Morgans quickly realized what was happening and began adjusting his movements. In that brief moment, it was impossible to see exactly what the move was like.

Then, an image slowed down twenty times, representing the current technological limit, was presented to everyone again. Even at twenty times slower, it was still fast, but much better than before when it was blurry.

In less than a second, before everyone's eyes, the entire gravitational field was compressed infinitely, shrinking towards the center while simultaneously pulling on countless things within it.

The entire gravitational field rapidly shrank, eventually reaching a diameter of several kilometers. This gravitational field, which had devoured and attracted countless things, was compressed, eventually becoming a sphere about thirty meters in diameter, resembling a loess mound. It floated in mid-air, and then, with a distorted space and a flash of fluctuation, the entire sphere was swallowed up and disappeared. Immediately afterward, space became calm.

This makes it clear how terrifying Teach's move is.

However, it is not without a solution. Some powerful beings, when caught by gravity, can use the same objects in the gravitational field to resist gravity with their immense strength and escape outside the gravitational field before it contracts. But very few people can do this.

It's important to know that Teach's gravitational field is quite strong.

That powerful gravity will leave your body unable to resist, unable to even move on its own, and even if you want to fight against it, you will be powerless.

This scene, whether captured on video or witnessed on-site by people both inside and outside the island, has been seen by many, leaving some speechless.

The atmosphere at Marine Headquarters became unusually heavy. They had no idea how to stop this move. If Teach were to use it at Marine Headquarters, the entire Navy would be destroyed.

Knowing the power of this move is not scary; what is scary is having no way to counter it and being forced into a passive position.

"Can we destroy this sphere before it explodes?" a navy officer couldn't help but ask.

"Impossible!" Crane shook his head. "That outer black shell is extremely hard, just like Teach's Dark Jade technique. How can it be destroyed?"

"More importantly, the energy contained within is terrifying, even the Dark Jade cannot withstand it. If the outer shell were destroyed, it would only cause the attack to erupt prematurely. Now that it has erupted at close range, there is simply no way to escape."

"It's practically impossible to stop the energy burst from erupting inside without damaging the outer shell."

Even Garp wouldn't dare to explode at such close range. He wouldn't dare to touch that powerful gravity. Inside, the gravity would definitely get stronger and stronger, and he might not even be able to break free.

"Then we can only be on guard. We can't let him use this move so easily." Garp clenched his fist. If he used this move at Marine Headquarters, the entire Marine Headquarters would be destroyed, and the final casualties would be extremely heavy, with most of them being wiped out.

Such a powerful gravitational pull was something even Gilman and his men couldn't escape, let alone the ordinary, weaker marines.

"Knock knock!" A knock came from the door.

"Come in, what's the important matter?" Sengoku asked, turning his head.

This is an important naval meeting, so sending a message here must be something important.

"Yes, Admiral. Although you all probably already know, I still want to inform you." The messenger said earnestly, "Just now, the Vivre Card of Vice Admiral Gilman and Nickt were completely burned out, but Vice Admiral Atchison did not die, and there is still a little bit of his Vivre Card remaining. The Staff Department thinks this is a bit strange, so they sent me to inform you."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback, somewhat surprised. Atchison wasn't dead?

I've been watching the replays. According to the story, Atchison died later, after Gilman and Nickt. He would have been killed by Rediat after that attack, so Rediat had no reason to keep Atchison alive.

"He's probably trying to get some important naval intelligence. Rediat is a smart man; if he can get the intelligence, he certainly won't let it go. But before, Rediat seemed to be planning to kill Vice Admiral Atchison. It's impossible that he's given up on that idea. Plus, given the previous threats, Vice Admiral Atchison wouldn't reveal any naval intelligence. This is a bit contradictory. What exactly is Rediat up to?" A Marine General frowned and couldn't help but ask.

The others were also puzzled. According to the timeline, someone who should have died was still alive. Everyone present was intelligent and noticed that something was amiss with me, but they didn't know what the Night Pirates were planning.

Meanwhile, the other major powers and Great Pirate on the sea fell silent. They imagined how they should respond to this attack, but there was no doubt that its power was destructive, just like Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit technique.

However, Whitebeard's attack had a wider range, was more destructive, and had greater destructive power, while Teach's attack was even more lethal.

In this endless pressure, very few people can survive. Unable to escape, they are then swallowed by space and sent somewhere unknown.

What is unknown is terrifying.

However, even for Teach, this move would require a lot of stamina, and he would rarely use it in future battles, unless it was an indiscriminate attack against a specific force. At his current level, combined with his abilities, his combat system was basically complete.

Back to reality, a warship filled with naval vessels slowly sailed out to sea. When it arrived, there were fifteen warships—how magnificent! Now, leaving, only one warship remained—how pathetic! It had no morale whatsoever, and a desolate atmosphere permeated the air.

This war undoubtedly greatly enhanced the navy's prestige, but at the same time, it also caused the navy heavy losses.

Leaving aside the three powerful Marine Vice Admiral, who are important combat forces in the navy, and the officers and colonels who can be considered the high command of the navy, they are the foundation and core of the navy. Apart from the top-level strongmen and the lower-level marines, most of the navy relies on these middle and upper-level marines.

Commodore and Rear Admiral are high-ranking officers in the navy, commanding one or even several warships.

Top-tier combat forces cannot be easily mobilized; maintaining stability at sea largely depends on naval forces at these levels.

The victory of the Night Pirates was beyond doubt. After seeing the marines leave, Borsalino turned into a golden light and left. He didn't want to continue fighting with the Night Pirates' officers. The fight was too painful, and he had also suffered serious injuries, both mental and physical.

There are also 12,000 marines. That's a lot, especially the marines on the Grand Line, who are somewhat different in strength from the marines of the other seas.

In the end, the Navy survivors were released by the Night Pirates.

This battle had a profound impact on him. After hiding for a year, the Night Pirates set sail again, trampling the Navy and making a name for themselves on the sea once more.

Discussions about the Night Pirates have never stopped around the world. This battle, along with some other key issues, is destined to be more than just a simple disturbance.

The Night Pirates possess formidable overall strength, and their officers are equally powerful, having grown significantly. Their formidable first mate, Rediat, easily defeated Atchison, Logia Devil Fruit User, Teach's immense strength allowed him to easily defeat two opponents simultaneously.

The Dark-Dark Fruit's new techniques, the Dark Jade (claimed to be an absolute defense) and the Star of Ruin possessing extreme gravitational attack), shine brightly.

He easily withstood all the attacks from the two powerful figures, making Teach invincible.

A terrifyingly powerful, wide-range attack has left indelible scars on this land, creating a massive crater that may soon transform into a giant lake.

Because of its immense power, the crater reached a depth of several hundred meters. Since it was located on an island, some seawater had already seeped into the crater through some cracks.

There are also some hidden but explosive topics: the decline of the Navy, the secret of Ohara, and the general situation of the lost century. These are all hot topics. It can be seen that in the days to come, the world will not lack content that will generate discussion or headlines. This storm has only just begun and is not over yet.

Forces around the world have been mobilized to search for traces of the Poneglyph, which contain damaging information about the World Government. Ambitious individuals, some even seeking to overthrow the World Government, find this information essential. They know that the Void Century, forbidden by the World Government, holds immense secrets.

Some people have already begun searching for the whereabouts of Nico Robin, the "Child of the Devil." As the last known archaeologist capable of deciphering the Poneglyph, her existence has undoubtedly become highly sought after. Even if they cannot recruit her, inviting her to decipher the Poneglyph is still an option.

Nico Robin certainly wouldn't refuse something like the Poneglyph; it could be considered a mutually beneficial deal.

However, they also knew that Nico Robin could not be captured by the World Government or the Navy. Therefore, they had an unspoken agreement to protect Nico Robin in secret and provide her with some assistance. They knew that as an archaeologist who could decipher the Poneglyph, Nico Robin would definitely be a very key figure in the future.

Some people have already sensed the approaching storm; it's a sign that a major storm is brewing.

The World Government has ruled this world for so many years, and it is extremely corrupt internally. There are certainly many forces that are dissatisfied with the World Government's rule. In a chaotic world, there is no shortage of ambitious people.

However, they are all hidden in the shadows.

Now, a force has emerged: the Revolutionary Army. In a country in the South China Sea, they launched a revolution and changed the country's regime. Although it only lasted a short time, it was quickly stopped by the World Government, which noticed the revolution.

However, the Revolutionary Army's defection immediately made them a thorn in the side of the World Government, and Revolutionary Army leader, Monkey D. Dragon, became the world's most dangerous criminal.

The World Government is the leader and collective of the world's Affiliated Nation, and also represents the interests of the world's aristocracy and rulers.

The Revolutionary Army's ideology is too dangerous. Although it is still very weak, the World Government will not allow its existence. The Revolutionary Army wants to overthrow the World Government and also the aristocratic system, which is the mainstream feudal system in this world. This directly infringes on the interests of all nobles and kings.

Although the Revolutionary Army overthrew only a small country, some of its inner workings were exposed. The country's nobles and king were all publicly executed, their assets were divided among the people, and their heads were hung on the city gates.
