In his estimation, the Three Ancient Weapons created back then had likely been meant to deal with some extremely powerful "visitors from beyond the stars."
And among them, [Uranus] was the first line of defense beyond this planet.
A space defense line!
In other words, this planet's satellite—the moon!
They had used Devil Fruit abilities to successfully reach the moon, transforming it into a massive space fortress. The cannons mounted on it could destroy an island in a single strike inward, or shatter the spacecraft of those visitors from beyond the stars in a single blow outward.
