"Such a dangerous existence…"
"Must be taken down as soon as possible!"
His gaze sharpened, Sakazuki spoke in a low, heavy voice.
A plan spanning four thousand years…
Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
If such a plan were to fully unfold—
Even the peak of the World Governnt might not be able to withstand it!
Only by killing—
Or capturing—
The Ancient King before them…
Could they hope to prevent it all!
Their eyes t.
Borsalino and Kuzan both nodded solemnly.
As Admirals of Marine Headquarters—
They might act lazily at tis…
Make minor mistakes that didn't matter…
But when it ca to the balance of the seas—
To the future of the World Governnt and the Marines—
They would not allow even the slightest carelessness!
"Buzz—!"
Golden light erupted.
Freezing air surged.
Magma roared.
The three Admirals cast aside their Justice cloaks—
Their expressions resolute—
As they unleashed their full power!
Three overwhelming forces intertwined—
Rolling and surging violently—
Even the surrounding space began to crack under the strain!
On the other side—
Standing high above them in the sky—
Kazama Haruto looked down upon the three distinct yet converging auras below.
Within his crimson, sovereign eyes—
There was only impatience.
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—!"
A series of golden flashes flickered.
The endless Noble Phantasms surrounding him—
All vanished at once.
Even the halberd, Durandal, and the Chain of Heaven—
Were all withdrawn—
Returned to the Golden Capital.
Below—
The three Admirals froze in surprise.
What…?
Was the Ancient King preparing to negotiate?
Or surrender?
Why withdraw all those divine weapons?
But clearly—
That was nothing more than wishful thinking.
As all the Noble Phantasms disappeared—
The gate to the Golden Capital behind Kazama Haruto slowly closed.
Then—
A golden key appeared silently before him.
Reaching out—
He grasped the radiant key forged of pure gold.
His voice was calm—
Almost bored.
"I have grown tired of this."
"You mongrels… may now leave my sight."
"But before that…"
"You should feel fortunate…"
"To witness a Noble Phantasm that once split heaven and earth…"
"And has slain gods."
Split heaven and earth?
Slain gods?
Kazama Haruto's words—
Once again sent shockwaves through the minds of Dracule Mihawk, Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino.
Gods—
Weren't those rely myths?
Fictional beings?
How could there exist a weapon that had slain gods?
And sothing capable of splitting heaven and earth—
What kind of power would that even be?
Enough to overturn the entire ocean?
Before this—
They would have dismissed such words without hesitation.
But now—
After witnessing Kazama Haruto's overwhelming power—
After beginning to believe he truly was the Ancient King from four thousand years ago—
They found themselves…
Unable to entirely reject it.
"What kind of joke is this?"
"Slaying gods? Splitting heaven and earth? That's beyond a monster…"
Borsalino clicked his tongue, his eyes wide with exaggerated disbelief.
"Gods are nothing more than fabricated legends…"
"Ancient King… there's no need to use such claims to intimidate us."
Kuzan shook his head calmly, unconvinced.
"Insignificant mongrels…"
"How could you possibly understand the true nature of this world…"
Kazama Haruto scoffed, brushing aside a strand of hair from his forehead.
Within his crimson eyes—
A trace of mory flickered.
Along with it—
A hint of anger.
"If not for this king…"
"How could creatures like you live upon this sea?"
"Four thousand years ago…"
"When countless races stood side by side…"
"When war raged endlessly between all factions…"
"It was this king—who established the Uruk Empire—"
"And carved out a path of survival for humanity!"
"If not for the grievous wounds I suffered in that war…"
"Why would I have slumbered for four thousand years?"
"Why would the Uruk Empire have fallen?!"
"And now…"
"You mongrels show no gratitude…"
"Instead, you repay kindness with hostility—challenging again and again!"
"The descendants of Salas… the so-called Celestial lineage…"
"It seems… your wings have grown too strong…"
A chilling light flashed in his eyes.
"Very well…"
"It is ti you mongrels witnessed it."
"The Star that split heaven and earth…"
"The power that once slew the gods!"
His voice rose—
Resounding across the heavens.
"So that you may understand…"
"That even after four thousand years…"
"I remain—"
"The eternal…"
"Ancient King!"
