Ayr, now widely hailed as the most terrifying force in the New World, had begun to eclipse even the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, in both reputation and strength. After a fierce clash that sent shockwaves through the sea and split the clouds above, Roger had been temporarily knocked unconsciousâan unthinkable feat until now. Despite his enormous power, Ayr could still suppress his body growth at will, controlling the effects of the Sun God's Physique he had inherited from Ace Kano. The aura surrounding him was so vast that even giants paled in comparison, and the surrounding pirates watched in breathless awe, struck dumb by the sheer pressure exuding from the battlefield.
"This guy⊠he could truly become the next Pirate King! If anyone can dominate this era of pirates, it's Ayr!" they whispered in disbelief. As Roger regained consciousness, Ayr stood before himâcalm, composed, and devastatingly powerful. Before this fight began, most believed Roger and Ayr were evenly matched, but now, as Ayr's sword aura twisted space itself, those assumptions crumbled. Roger's instincts screamed danger, cold sweat trickling down his back.
"Look closely, Bullet," Rayleigh said solemnly, placing a hand on Douglas Bullet's shoulder. "This is the strength of the man even Roger respects as the strongest." Ayr hadn't moved from his spot, yet the battlefield had already shifted in his favor. To Roger, it was clearâAyr was a true monster. He could feel it in his bones: if Ayr truly went all-out, even he might not survive. Both men stood as legends atop the sea, but Ayr had crossed into a realm beyond logic. His control over the Zhanshen blade, paired with his Sun-born strength and the Will of D, made him a force that bent fate itself.
Roger's eyes narrowed as he recalled Ayr's words from their last encounter: "I'm not aiming to be Pirate King. I aim to become something greater." Now, Roger believed it. From his own lips, Bullet learned the truthâAyr was the strongest pirate alive. Ayr's body now towered over even Akainu, Sengoku, and other Marine legends, his voice booming like judgment from the heavens as he asked, "You still want to continue, Roger?" Roger smirked, blood running from the corner of his mouth. "You bastard... you're still the same damn monster."
The young Bullet clenched his fists. Even after joining the Roger Pirates, he'd always dreamed of surpassing Roger, but now, after seeing Ayr firsthand, that dream had changed. The power difference was glaring, yet he didn't feel despair; instead, he etched Ayr's strength into his soul and vowed that one day, he would catch up and defeat him. The sky cracked again as Ayr revealed more of his true might. Roger realized in that instantâAyr hadn't even used his full strength earlier. Despite his injuries, Roger stood tall. He had evolved tremendously since the Battle of Atvor, but so had Ayr.
After inheriting the Ace Kano bloodline and Sun God Physique, Ayr's power had grown even more monstrous, his divine pressure becoming unbearable when he increased his size. "Ayr⊠You've surpassed even legends," Rayleigh murmured, arms folded tightly across his chest, his Observation Haki scanning the battlefield as cold sweat beaded his brow. Bullet's eyes glowed with fierce intent. "He really is stronger than RogerâŠ" Roger steadied himself, blade clanging against the ground. "Is that your full power now?" he asked. "No," Ayr replied, looking up. "The time⊠it's almost noon."
Above, the clouds swirled and parted to reveal the sun, whose golden light shimmered down, intensifying Ayr's divine aura. Bullet stared in aweâthis was the true power of the man who had defeated Rocks and clashed with Garp and Sengoku. Though shaken, he wasn't broken, and the reason he'd joined Roger's crewâto surpass himânow seemed like a stepping stone toward a higher goal. "You're insane, Ayr⊠but one day, I'll surpass you." Ayr smiled faintly. "You always say that. But by the time you catch up, I'll already be gone."
Roger laughed, still holding his side. "You're something else. But the battle isn't over." He drew his saber again, determination igniting in his eyes. Ayr stood poised, his hand glowing with solar power as he poured magic and Haki into Zhanshen. The blade erupted with radiant flames, its edge gleaming like a solar flare. "Godfall⊠Mote Slash!!!" The slash carved a blinding arc through the air, splitting the battlefield and unleashing golden sword light that rushed toward Roger like a tidal wave of destruction.
Roger raised his blade just in time, the impact shaking the air and knocking pirates across the island. Even though the technique didn't strike him directly, the sheer pressure forced him several meters back, carving trenches beneath his feet. Bullet trembledânot from fear, but from excitement. "Hahaha!!! Of course, I'll continue, Ayr!!! The battle's just getting started!" Jabba grinned beside him. "He's hooked nowâŠ"
Ever since the Battle of Atvor, where Ayr had defeated the Golden Lion, his legend had only grown. Bullet hadn't seen that battle himself, having joined later, but the tales painted Ayr as a demon wrapped in divine power. Now, witnessing him firsthand, Bullet understood why. Ayr's height had risen to nearly four meters, his presence towering like a deity born of the sun, his will unshakable. His golden gaze locked on Roger, whose grip tightened around his blade. "You're not bad, Roger. But now you understand," Ayr said calmly. "Strength and willâwhen alignedâchange destiny."
Even Roger, the man who had long stood at the pinnacle of the seas, found himself pushed to his limits, yet he still laughed. The Will of D would not bend. In an instant, Roger vanished, reappearing in front of Ayr with Observation Haki guiding his strike. His blade met Ayr's in a blinding clash, light and shadow exploding outward like divine judgment. The world seemed to hold its breath as the two titans collided. Even Rayleighâa man who had once stood side-by-side with Roger through countless battlesâhad to admit it now: Ayr had surpassed them all.
