Under Fujitora's gravity control, the space warships were like being seized by a huge, invisible hand, crashing down on Planet Blue's sky defense system.
As the warships fell at high speed, their outer shells rubbed against the atmosphere, bursting into flames, like falling stars.
"What... what power is this?!" The man in black armor steadied himself in the command module, his face changing drastically.
He had never seen such terrifying gravity control, which even their most advanced tech could not stop.
"Commander, we're losing control of the warships! All systems are failing!" The adjutant's voice was filled with despair.
"Start the emergency escape program!" The man ordered through gritted teeth, but it was too late.
The warships could not break free from the pull of gravity and crashed hard into the energy shield of the sky defense system.
However, the shield was not broken. Instead, at the moment of impact, the warships were wrapped in a strange spatial power and then disappeared.
"The warships... disappeared?!" The man stared wide-eyed, hardly believing what he saw on the screen.
At the same time, in the lab on Egghead Island, countless streams of data flashed on Vegapunk's control panel.
Using the spatial folding tech of the sky defense system, he had moved all the falling warships to another dimension.
"Success!" Vegapunk clenched his fist in excitement. "Ryuen, Fujitora, well done!"
Ryuen stood in the air, watching the space warships gradually disappear in space, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He said to Vegapunk through a Den Den Mushi, "Next, it's up to you. The tech of these warships might give us more ways to defend ourselves."
"Don't worry, I'll figure out their tech as soon as possible." Vegapunk's voice was full of confidence.
However, the battle was not completely over. In space, a few warships were still struggling, trying to escape Fujitora's gravity control.
The main gun of one of the warships suddenly lit up with a blinding red light, clearly preparing for a final attack.
"Not good, they want to use a planet-destroying cannon!" Sengoku's pupils shrank, and he immediately shouted to Fujitora, "Mr. Smile, destroy that warship first!"
Fujitora nodded, and with a fierce swing of his cane sword, the gravity field instantly focused on that warship.
The outer shell of the warship began to twist under the terrible gravity, and the charging of the main gun was forcibly stopped.
"Break!" Fujitora shouted, and the warship completely fell apart under the pressure of gravity, turning into countless pieces that fell into the shield of the sky defense system and were then moved to another dimension.
"It's over..." Vice Admiral Tsuru breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes sweeping across the sky.
The threat of the space warships was temporarily removed, but their enemies had not completely disappeared.
"Ryuen, what should we do next?" Kizaru's voice came from the side, with a hint of seriousness in his tone.
Ryuen thought for a moment and said slowly, "The space pirates won't give up easily. They'll be back. We must improve our strength as soon as possible, and at the same time use their tech to improve the sky defense system."
"That's right." Vegapunk's voice came from the Den Den Mushi. "We've already got their warships, now we just need to figure out and use the tech. Ryuen, don't worry, I'll take care of the tech side, and my clones will keep studying energy."
"I'm counting on you." Ryuen nodded, looking at the sky with a firm gaze. "I hope you come soon, I'll give you a good welcome..."

At the same time, deep in space, inside a huge mothership.
"Report, the advance team was completely wiped out. Planet Blue's defense system is far beyond our expectations." A man in silver armor knelt on the ground, reporting to the figure on the high seat.
The figure on the high seat slowly raised his head, revealing a cold face.
His eyes flashed with dangerous light, and his voice was low and full of authority. "Planet Blue... it's not simple. It seems we need to use greater power."
"Commander, do you mean..." The silver-armored man asked carefully.
"Start the 'black hole engine', and prepare for a space jump." The man on the high seat said coldly. "This time, I'll go to Planet Blue myself and see what they're capable of!"
"Yes!" The silver-armored man immediately got up and turned to leave the command module.
The man on the high seat stood up, walked to the porthole, and looked deeply at the distant starry sky. "Planet Blue... your resistance will only make me more excited."

One day later.
Planet Blue, Egghead Island.
Ryuen had already arrived here, standing in the lab, watching Vegapunk analyze the tech of the space warships.
Enel was still working hard to provide energy for the sky defense system, but a hint of tiredness had appeared on his face.
"Ryuen, the tech of these warships is really advanced, especially their energy system and weapon systems." Vegapunk said, pointing to the data on the screen, "If we can add this tech to the sky defense system, our defense capability will increase several times."
"How long will it take?" Ryuen asked.
"At least a month." Vegapunk pushed up his glasses. "Also, we need more energy support. Even though Enel's power is strong, it's too much of a burden for him to keep the sky defense system running for a long time."
Ryuen nodded and turned to Enel. "Thanks for your hard work, Enel. You can rest when Vegapunk's research is done."
Enel snorted. Though tired, his tone was still arrogant. "Don't underestimate the power of a god, mortal. This small amount of energy use is nothing to me."
Little Lord, there are more chapters behind, please click the next page to continue reading, the following is more exciting!
Ryuen smiled and didn't say much. He knew that while Enel's words were harsh, he had already accepted them inside.
Just then, the Den Den Mushi rang.
Ryuen answered, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku's voice came through. "Ryuen, we just got word that the space pirates' mothership is getting closer to Planet Blue. Their goal is probably to completely destroy our defense system."
All the space pirates who were still alive were locked up in Impel Down. These space pirates had no backbone, so Sadi-chan could easily get them to talk.
"They're here pretty fast..." Ryuen said calmly.
"We have to be ready." Sengoku's voice was serious. "This time, their power may be far beyond our imagination."
"Don't worry, with the shield in place this time, I won't give them a chance to attack." Ryuen took a deep breath, looking at the sky with a firm gaze.
Just then, Vegapunk said, "Ryuen, if you can, don't destroy their space warships directly. Also, if possible, capture some of the technicians alive. We can use their space-jump ability!"
Ryuen looked at Vegapunk and thought for a moment before replying, "I can only do my best, because their planet-destroying cannon is very powerful, and the sky defense system might not be able to stop it."
"Just do what you can. I think everyone wants to strike back against these space pirates as soon as possible!" Vegapunk said quietly.
"Alright, I got it. I'm leaving now. I'm going to go take a look in outer space..." After saying that, Ryuen turned into his full beast form and left Egghead Island, flying towards outer space.
His Fire-Bird Fruit had completely awakened, and its flames could burn everything, including space!
If it hadn't been for getting the space pirates' tech in the first place, he wouldn't have given the space pirates any chance to attack!
