Marineford, inside the Fleet Admiral's Office.
After the great war a few years earlier, the Marines had undergone tremendous changes!
The previous Fleet Admiral, Buddha Sengoku, had voluntarily resigned, ready to enjoy a brand-new life in retirement!
After all, most pirates had already been wiped out, and the Marines no longer needed such a large force.
Sakazuki had successfully taken over as the Marines' new Fleet Admiral.
Since the World Government had been overthrown, Aokiji had never left the Marines.
The Marines had not recruited any new Admirals, either.
Under the New World Government's rule, public safety around the world had become hundreds of times better than before.
The number of pirates had also plummeted to less than a tenth of what it had been.
The Marines' forces were therefore more than sufficient.
But... just a few seconds earlier, the entire Marine Base had been shaken to its core!
"Reporting to Fleet Admiral Sakazuki! An unidentified object has been spotted descending from the sky!"
"According to our calculations, if the unidentified object lands, at least 90% of all living creatures worldwide will be destroyed!"
The Marine delivering the report was extremely nervous.
"What?"
The cigar fell from Sakazuki's mouth to the floor, disbelief written across his face.
He strode to his office window and looked up at the sky!
To his shock, the entire sky seemed to have darkened, and the sun was completely blocked out.
All that remained was an unidentified mass hurtling downward!
The unidentified mass brimmed with surging energy, descending steadily like a miniature sun!
Even looking at it with the naked eye was enough to feel the terrifying pressure it radiated!
Sakazuki even had a feeling deep inside.
Even he might not survive the instant he came into contact with that unidentified object!
