The two Five Elders appeared on either side of Ayr simultaneously, their Armament and Conqueror's Haki flaring to life, wrapping around fists and blades in perfect sync as they surged toward him with lethal intent. But Ayr, calm amidst the pressure, activated the Rinnegan without hesitation.
"Shinra Tensei."
As the technique triggered, a devastating repulsive force erupted from Ayr's body, centered on his will, blasting outward in a violent wave that flung both elders backward with staggering force. The air tore open; gravel and loose soil exploded away from him as the sheer magnitude of the blast swept through the battlefield. Even Garp and the nearby CP0 agents were thrown far back, struggling to stabilize against the overwhelming pressure.
The moveāonce famously used by Madaraāwas as peerless and overwhelming as ever. CP agents, stunned, pulled themselves up and stared at Ayr with disbelief.
"That abilityā¦ it sent the Five Elders flying!"
"I've read all the classified briefings. Ayr never used this beforeā¦ Has his Devil Fruit evolved again? Or is this something else entirely?"
"It's impossible... he's pushing beyond every known limit. His abilities just keep changing."
Since joining the Rocks Pirates, Ayr's clashes with the Marines had defied every expectation. Each battle unveiled a new ability, a new trick, a new layer to his power. Devil Fruits typically adhered to a core principleāeven when awakened. But Ayr's didn't follow any rule. He was rewriting them.
Across the fractured battlefield, the blade-wielding elderāstanding near his blond counterpartākept a wary eye on Ayr. That moment of pressure earlier, the pure repulsion that had forced them back, had shaken even him. Getting close to Ayr was proving near impossible.
"Don't kill him yet," the blond elder said, voice laced with ambition as his gaze fixed on their opponent. "If we can extract the secret of his powerāif we can transplant that Devil Fruitāthen the World Government could potentially raise another monster like him. One that actually obeys."
The idea lingered with sinister intent. Ayr's power wasn't just dangerousāit was untethered, evolving, and impossible to classify. If they could break it down, decode the source, and recreate it in a controllable host, they could build the next phase of military dominance.
The blade-wielding elder nodded grimly. Their original mission had been simple: kill Ayr in Mariejois. But that plan had already shifted. Now, extraction and preservation took priority.
With that silent understanding, both elders slammed their feet into the ground, the impact shattering tiles and forming twin craters beneath them. They vanished in the next instant, moving like hurricanes as they surged toward Ayr once more.
But Ayr was already one step ahead.
"Universal Pull."
The moment the Rinnegan activated again, gravitational polarity shifted. Where Shinra Tensei repelled, this new force drew everything inward. Ayr locked eyes on the blond elder and immediately became the center of gravity. The effect was instantaneousāirresistible.
The elder's body twisted in midair, forcefully dragged toward Ayr before being violently flung a full hundred meters backward. He had no control, no resistanceājust raw disorientation.
"What is this?!" the elder shouted, pupils constricting as his balance and movement were stolen from him. One moment he was charging forwardāthe next, gone, thrown like a ragdoll across the battlefield.
"Now then," Ayr murmured, drawing his slasher and infusing it with surging Haki. Armament and Conqueror's will intertwined along the blade's edge as he closed the gap toward the remaining elder.
Alone, Ayr could face one of the Five Elders without hesitation. But both together? Even he had to admit that would overwhelm him. That was why he separated themāmanipulating the battlefield through gravity itself.
"Come on then."
The blade-wielding elder didn't hesitate. He charged forward, fearless, his cursed swordāthe First Generation Kitetsuāalready drawn and burning with dark energy. Their figures blurred as they clashed.
Steel screamed against steel as an explosive shockwave detonated across Mariejois, rattling the heavens. Neither combatant held back. This was a clash of full strength, each blow threatening to shatter the very ground beneath them.
The elder's swordsmanship was monstrous, refined to a terrifying degree. With Kitetsu in hand, he fought like a demon, every stroke aimed to kill. Had Ayr not trained endlessly over the past arcs, this battle would have ended swiftly. In raw swordsmanship, the elder had no equalāhe was likely the greatest swordsman alive.
But brute strengthāwhen layered with relentless technique and amplified by the Rinneganāwas enough to turn the tide. Slowly but surely, Ayr pushed the elder back, his overwhelming force cracking defense after defense. Then, with a thunderous blow, Ayr sent him flying across the battlefield.
No time to rest.
The blond elder, finally recovering from the earlier gravitational assault, surged forward again with burning rage. His voice thundered through the sky as his fist, clad in Haki and fury, drove toward Ayr like a meteor. The blade-wielder regrouped and joined the charge, and once again, Ayr was caught between the two titans.
But he didn't falter.
"Zhen ShenāCliff Splitter."
Veins bulged along his forearm as he gripped Zanjin tightly, pouring his full Haki into the weapon. With a savage roar, he swung.
The air cracked.
Light erupted from the collision point.
A blinding white burst of force detonated across the sky, obliterating the clouds above and shaking the heavens. The energy wave ripped outward from the epicenter, forcing nearby combatants to shield their eyes as the terrain below fractured violently.
When the dust and light finally faded, what remained was staggering.
A crater several meters deep stretched in all directions, its fractured edges splintering across the shattered battlefield. The terrain had been completely alteredādevastated by the force of their clash.
"He blocked itā¦"
"That madmanā¦ Ayr actually blocked a combined strike from two of the Five Elders!"
"This isn't possible! The Five Elders are the peak of the World Government's military might!"
"And heā¦ withstood both of them?!"
"He's surpassed everyone. His strengthā¦ it's insane."
