Rumble!
The earth roared, and an immense impact descended like Mount Tai crushing from above, abruptly suppressing the already chaotic battlefield.
The pirates and Marines who had been fighting wildly—even more so, some of them were crushed flat against the ground.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure of gravity, many people who had been busy dodging attacks finally gained a brief chance to catch their breath.
They looked at Fujitora with a trace of delight in their eyes.
Amid such a sudden upheaval, everyone had been caught completely off guard.

Marco immediately grew anxious. Pushing his Devil Fruit power to the limit, he transformed into his Phoenix form to resist the immense gravity pressing down on him.

Now, they had become enemies drawing their blades against them.
It was difficult for them to accept all of this.
"Roar!"
Buffalo Atmos let out a pained roar, his expression twisting grotesquely.
His already massive, tower-like body emitted a series of crisp cracking sounds.
The exposed muscles all over his body writhed, as though they were about to burst apart.
Patches of blue scales rapidly grew across his skin.
The sudden development made Marco and the others' expressions change drastically.
If ordinary pirates transformed into demons, they were confident they could suppress them
