At Marineford, Sengoku watched the strongest clone fly toward them, then turned and shouted to all the Marines:
"This is the final trial! For justice! For peace! We must not let it destroy the sealing formation!"
"Yes!" All the Marines responded in unison, making ready to fight to the death.
Just as the four sealing nodes faced the deadly threat of the Void clones, Claire on Aurora Island opened her weakened eyes.
Her body had already grown exceedingly frail, and her thousand-year life was nearing its end. Yet through the crystal ball, she could clearly see the battles unfolding across the world. Luffy and Ace were burning their lives away on the Island of Beginnings, Zoro and Jinbe were fighting in blood-soaked desperation at Laugh Tale, Lin Ye and Kizaru were resisting desperately at Mary Geoise, while Sengoku and the others stood firm for justice at Marineford.
"Children... you have already done enough..." Claire's voice was like a whisper in the wind. "But... your strength alone is not enough..."
Trembling, she rose to her feet and walked to the center of the observation platform. There stood a massive formation made of countless starstones, the ultimate astrological ritual she had spent a thousand years constructing—All Beings' Prayer.
"This world... should not have only the Watchers fighting..." Claire placed both hands at the center of the formation and began pouring in her last remaining stellar energy. "Everyone living on this land... has the right and duty to protect it..."
The formation began to glow. But this was no ordinary astrology; it was a miraculous spell capable of connecting the hearts of all living beings. Through this formation, Claire would extend her consciousness to every corner of the world and awaken the light of hope sleeping within people's hearts.
"All Beings' Prayer... activate!"
