# Fire Changes the Temperature of the Entire Grand Line!

".....Bankai!"

As soon as Bai Ye spoke, the seemingly endless orange-red flames in Mariejois suddenly paused.

In the next moment, the scene at Mariejois, the 'Holy Land,' became even more astonishing. The pillar of flames reaching the sky, the endless fire burning Mariejois, and the high-temperature flames unleashed by Ryūjin Jakka—all of them disappeared instantly.

All that remained was a Taidao in Bai Ye's hand, appearing scorched and as if it might turn to ashes at any second.

"Fire, the flames are gone?!"

"The flames on Mariejois are gone!"

"Did that man choose to give up after witnessing the power of 'God'?!"

Seeing this, countless people were stunned and couldn't help but guess.

Meanwhile, in a small town near the Grand Line:

"That man really seems to be giving up. With a monster like that in the World Government, almost equivalent to a 'god,' it's impossible to win, right?"

While a pirate was talking, he picked up his wine glass to drink, but frowned when he found it half-empty. He angrily smashed his fist on the table.

"Hey! Where's my drink!" he shouted towards the bar counter, annoyed.

"Do you think you can mess with me? I'm a pirate with a bounty of more than 20 million Baileys! You want trouble?"

"No...not at all...!"

The staff behind the bar counter shook their heads quickly, trying to avoid a confrontation. They hurriedly prepared to pour another glass of wine for the pirate. But when they placed the glass at the barrel's outlet, nothing came out. The staff froze in place.

"What, what's going on? There was wine in the barrel just now..."

Suddenly, they noticed the liquid in the next glass was disappearing. Eyes wide with shock, the staff looked outside and felt a terrifying temperature descending on the Grand Line. The wine continued to vanish, and plants in a nearby vase were dying from the loss of water.

In that moment, the bar staff squatted down, trembling.

"No... it can't be...!"

"What is this...?!"

Just then, another pirate burst into the bar in a panic.

"Hey! Captain!" he shouted. "It's no good! I don't think we can leave!"

"What?!" the brawny pirate about to leave frowned.

"Our ship! The sea in the entire port is boiling! Our ship can't sail in these conditions!" the frightened pirate yelled.

The voice made the other pirates in the bar freeze for a moment and then panic.

Meanwhile, with Bai Ye's "Bankai" on Ryūjin Jakka, it wasn't just the unnamed town near the Grand Line that felt the change. Towns, islands, and even the New World on the Grand Line sensed the temperature shift.

"What happened?!"

"The temperature has never been this high!"

"It's so hot, I can feel the water in my body evaporating."

"Wait a minute... isn't this place an island covered in snow all year round?!_

"What's causing this unusual temperature?!"

At Naval Headquarters.

"...all the flames are gone?"

Sengoku stared at the change in Mariejois. Could that man be planning to surrender? He wondered. But then he noticed a sea of white steam outside Naval Headquarters Marineford.

Sengoku was horrified.

"No, what is happening here! Why does Marineford feel...?"

Suddenly, disbelief flashed in his eyes as he saw warship canvases catching fire one after another.

Witnessing the soaring flames, Sengoku snapped back to his senses and urgently looked at Aokiji, shouting:

"Kuzan! Put out the fire!"

Aokiji raised his hand, but he didn't make a move. Sengoku couldn't help but say, "What happened, Kuzan?" Marine Admiral Aokiji fell silent, his face showing an indescribable shock.

Sengoku's expression changed. "No... no, Sengoku, it's my power," Aokiji said, horrified. He wanted to activate his Frozen Fruit ability but found no response. He felt the cold enough to freeze the sea had been evaporated by the heat at Naval Headquarters today. His Logia Freeze Devil Fruit ability couldn't be released at all.

"Could it be...?" Aokiji suddenly looked up at the figure of the man on the Mariejois projection screen and murmured in shock, "Is it all because of that man?"

At the same time, below Mariejois, a support warship from Impel Down approached, led by Magellan, the prison warden with the ability to manipulate poison. Magellan saw Mariejois being invaded for the first time and knew the Naval Headquarters couldn't support the World Government. So, he decided to use the power of Impel Down and Enies Lobby CP9. Without hesitation, Magellan led his men and more than half of the prison guards towards Mariejois. However, as they neared Mariejois, a panicked jailer ran into the cabin. " Director Magellan! Our boat... can't move!"

Magellan looked uneasy. "Can't move?! What are you kidding! Don't you know the emergency?! The World Government is being invaded by sinners!" Magellan pushed open the door, gritting his teeth, and came to the deck. His face changed wildly when he saw the area near Mariejois steaming with white vapor. The warship under his feet was melting. 

Magellan stared at the figure of the man above Mariejois on the projection screen. Cold sweat rolled down his face. "What is this...? Haven't all the flames on Mariejois gone?! But why is the temperature rising?!" Magellan questioned whether the man was truly human.

On Mariejois, the Five Elders with fluffy beards spoke first. "What is that thing?! Are you kidding? That kind of 'sword' is the 'confidence' of a sinner like you?! It's ridiculous!" Originally, he thought the man was bluffing but realized it was more.

Bai Ye felt the power of Ryūjin Jakka in his hand, realizing its truly terrifying temperature. Ignoring the Five Elders with fluffy beards, he looked at Im. "It seems you feel it too. Experience what real hell is," Bai Ye said, raising the 'Remnant Fire Sword'. Im's red pupils froze slightly. The 'Remnant Fire Sword' fell from Bai Ye's hand. No flames gushed out, but when the tip of the sword touched the air, the entire Mariejois trembled. 

Just like Im's previous shot, the whole Mariejois split from the outside world and stopped everything. Then, boom! In a sight the Five Elders would never forget, the Red Line where Mariejois stood began to sag. An abyss, a scorching kilometer-long pit appeared! The entire hard-earthed Red Line's surface disappeared like tofu. 

The World Government was completely gone. All surviving members of the CPO and Celestial Dragons disappeared completely, leaving no trace of their existence.
