Instantly, the winds and clouds above began to shift violently under Fujitora's power.
The sunlight seemed to dim at this moment, as a terrifying pressure filled the sky.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
From behind the veil of clouds came a series of roaring sounds, as though something horrifying was about to descend and reveal itself before the people.
On the Red Line, the World Government agents, the Revolutionary Army and the pirates all heard the noise from the sky and looked up.
The next moment.
Their expressions froze as if they had witnessed something unimaginable.
In their line of sight, high above the Red Line, a massive meteor was hurtling downward, tearing through the white clouds with unstoppable momentum.
Judging by its size, if it were to strike, it would be enough to obliterate any island.
"A m-meteor!"
"It looks like it's heading straight for us!"
"..."
The Revolutionary Army and the pirates stared dumbfounded at the enormous meteor in the sky, their voices trembling.
This meteor, wreathed in boundless flames and sending shockwaves rippling through the air, was plummeting directly toward their position.
Without a doubt, if this meteor were to crash down, it would send them all tumbling from the summit of the ten-thousand-meter-high Red Line.
Falling from such a height, even if they weren't crushed by the meteor, they would surely die from the impact.
Even among them, figures like Whitebeard and Shiki wore grave expressions.
This was nothing like Shiki's technique of assembling rocks and earth to mimic a meteor.
This was Fujitora, using the power of the Gravity and directly altering the trajectory of an actual meteor to bring it crashing down towards the earth.
Its destructive force was hundreds of times greater than Shiki's.
"Seems like we'll have to step in!" Shiki's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he muttered.
"No need." Kaido, standing beside him, remained expressionless as he spoke calmly.
As his words faded.
Suddenly, from a distant mountain peak, a figure leaped at blinding speed, appearing before the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Without pause, the figure shot towards the massive meteor at incredible speed.
Fierce winds howled around Bob as his robes flapped wildly.
"Don't... land near my friends!"
Bob's arm tensed, his fist clenched, his elbow bent—then, in an instant, he struck the colossal meteor.
A simple sequence of movements, yet the force behind it was immeasurable.
"BOOM!!"
A deafening explosion rang out as the meteor, under Bob's overwhelming strength, shattered like fragile tofu at its peak.
The boundless flames surrounding the meteor erupted in a blinding flash, sending a fiery shockwave rippling outward in all directions.
Yet, the meteor did not meet its end with just that single punch.
The immense power unleashed from Bob's fist continued to surge inward from the point of impact.
"CRACK! CRACK!!"
The meteor, capable of sinking an island in an instant, fractured under the force, spiderweb-like fissures spreading rapidly towards its rear.
Bob's body shot straight through the meteor, piercing it from the center.
In the next moment.
With another earth-shaking explosion, the meteor behind him burst apart mid-air.
Like a massive firework blooming, the shattered meteor fragments rained down in all directions.
"Watch out for the falling fragments!"
Almost simultaneously with the meteor's explosion, commanders from both the Revolutionary Army and World Government shouted in unison.
The soldiers still stunned by the previous spectacle immediately snapped back to reality.
Under their commanders' protection, they dodged the countless meteor fragments raining down.
Meanwhile, Bob's body plummeted straight downward.
At that moment, the green figure standing near Fujitora moved, his aura erupting violently.
His palm pointed towards the sky before suddenly clenching.
"Wood World: Restraint!!"
As the words fell.
The ground beneath Bob's falling trajectory began convulsing violently, the earth itself trembling.
Then, patches of emerald green emerged across the crimson soil.
In an instant.
Thick vines and towering trees erupted from the ground, swelling instantly under nourishing green radiance.
They lashed upward towards Bob's rapidly descending form.
Within moments, a lush forest materialized below, its grasping branches and vines.
Upon contacting Bob's body, immediately wrapped around him like a spider ensnaring prey.
Within several breaths, a massive botanical sphere formed mid-air, its external vines and trees connected to the forest below.
Countless layers of entanglement.
Yet moments later, the colossal plant sphere began shuddering violently, cracking sounds erupting from within.
"Perfect opportunity!"
Seizing the moment, Kong's eyes flashed with intensity as he monitored the battle's progression.
His muscles bulged violently, aura skyrocketing to its peak.
His white goatee quivered as his fists suddenly enlarged.
Whoosh!!
Instantly, his arms turned pitch black.
"BOOM!"
Kong's foot stamped towards the grounds, destroying the ground beneath.
Simultaneously, his body shot into the skies, fists drawn together.
"Sunset: Hundred Strikes!"
As the words fell.
Mid-air, black sheen rippled across Kong's muscles as arm strength concentrated into his fists.
This strike would hold nothing back.
A blinding glow erupted around Kong's fists, tyrannical energy distorting space itself.
Meanwhile.
The cracking sounds from Bob's botanical prison grew increasingly violent.
Finally unable to contain the internal pressure, it exploded with a thunderous bang.
Green wood fragments scattered as the vegetation below withered instantly.
Freshly freed, Bob saw Kong's approaching figure - already within striking range.
"BOOM!!"
The impact connected squarely, sending Bob rocketing through airborne debris.
Yet contrary to expectations, no secondary explosion followed as Bob abruptly halted mid-air.
"An old guy like you should just sit still in retirement home!"
Bob gazed at Kong's figure, then abruptly tapped his toes in the air with a muffled thud.
He swiftly darted towards Kong's position
