[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]
Third Person POV
Mary Geoise, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Many miles from that meteor, as the sky was lit with that force descending with a huge tail of fire, leaving its trail in the sky while a thunderous sound was heard by everyone, no matter how distant and low it was.
Sengoku, who was leaving the meeting at this moment while heading to rest in his apartment in the same buildings, stopped in the middle of a window, after all, he saw the glare on the horizon. He didn't take long to identify what it was. "What is that? A meteor?" he asked, surprised and dazed.
"Is that going where I think it's going?!" He calculated the trajectory of the meteor and couldn't be more surprised, after all, it was going to the red mountain that separated the new world from paradise, but this only made him think that it was not something natural and seeing where it would fall, it was quite obvious that this was an attack going towards Mary Geoise.
"I have to see what's happening now!" He immediately exclaimed, running back to his office.
He was not the only one seeing the bright light in the sky; many sailors at Marine Ford were looking into the distance, stunned while pointing at the sky.
"Ziahahahaha! What is that?!" Teach asked, surprised, looking up at the sky.
"A meteor! I've never seen one!" Burgess exclaimed.
The event began to appear in various parts of that sea, in the Sabaody Archipelago, people were peacefully enjoying the night while some crime happened here and there with the amount of pirates on the island, however, the sky lit up for them more than for any other part except for the city of Mary Geoise itself.
Silvers Rayleigh stepped out of the bar at that moment along with Shakuyaku accompanying him, after all, the sky caught their attention while they were inside the bar.
"This..." Shakuyaku looked surprised at the sky.
"A meteor and it's heading for..." Rayleigh murmured, quite shaken by it.
"Mary Geoise... who could do this?!" She completed and asked alarmed, after all, this was not just anything.
"It reminds me of Shiki... Is he still alive, and has he gone completely mad?" The former first mate of Gol D. Roger said.
"This will be troublesome if it hits the city," Shakuyaku commented.
"Yes, but surely the World Government can deal with this..." He spoke, he himself could cut that meteor, but he would be quite tired due to his age. "However, I can't imagine how the government would retaliate against something like this..." Rayleigh said, never having expected to see something like this in his life, it was much more chaotic than what Fisher Tiger had done many years ago.
Hundreds of kilometers from the location, Black Pearl was stationed at sea while the sky was illuminated with the meteor.
"You brought a big one, Bepo." Luffy smiled at that.
"Captain!!! What have you made me do!" Bepo exclaimed, frightened, imagining what he would destroy with that.
"Relax... do you really think a small stone in the sky can do something to that city..." Luffy spoke with a small smile, still watching a beautiful show of lights cutting through the sky, passing through the night clouds while giving a spectacle to the eyes of all spectators as it continued flying towards the horizon.
"That!" Kuina exclaimed, stunned.
Just like all the Straw Hats looked at it, stunned, seeing the strip of fire descending.
Shirahoshi, who seemed more excited about it than everyone there, exclaimed, "Look, a shooting star! I've never seen one. I better make a wish!" She said, already crossing her hands as if praying.
"That's not a shooting star, that's a meteor," Nami exclaimed with a comic face.
"Is this a natural effect?" Zoro asked, frowning, wondering where it was falling.
"No, the one who did this was Luffy, there. He asked Bepo to throw a stone from the sky... it's going to a city called Mary Geoise..." Yamato commented after hearing the entire conversation with Luffy and the communicator from a distance, while eating a piece of meat without caring too much, although the light show was quite pleasant for her.

"Mary Geoise...? Where is it?" Chopper asked curiously.
A silent atmosphere had been created among the crew members thinking about what they heard, and it was Chopper who broke this atmosphere with an innocent question.
"Mary Geoise... you don't know where Mary Geoise is?! It's the World Government's city!" Usopp yelled at Chopper, crying.
"Luffy!!! What are you doing?!" Nami started to cry desperately.
"This is supeerrrrr problematic!" Franky spoke in desperation, but striking a pose.
"..." Reiju let her cigarette fall from her mouth as she looked dazed.
"He really did that...?" Hugo appeared paralyzed.
"Neee.... did he send a meteor to Mary Geoise!!??" Hachi seemed so scared that he turned white.
While Robin, Nojiko, Uta, Vivi, Kuina had their mouths open in shock, Lami, Zoro had their brows furrowed, and Shirahoshi, Baby 5, Yamato, and all the animals seemed oblivious to it.
The music had ended as had all the celebration, and everyone looked at Luffy in shock, then a specific group of crew members quickly started running towards Luffy who was surprised with a bunch of his group behind him begging him.
Chopper, Nami, Lami, Hachi, Uta, Vivi, Zoro, Kuina, Franky, Usopp began to speak in desperation with many crying tears in their eyes.
"Luffy, this is very serious. They will never forgive us for this!" Chopper, with tears in his eyes, completely terrified after discovering from Usopp what attacking that city meant.
"Do you know what it means to attack Mary Geoise, right? We're finished!" Nami, crying, holding Luffy by the shoulders, desperate.
"Luffy, this is insanity. Why would you do something like this?" Lami had white eyes and shark teeth, angry at Luffy.
"Captain, this was too much. Even for us!" Hachi, with a pure shock expression, all his hands trembling.
"This is crazy... You think it's going to be okay? Send the meteor back!" Uta, crying, her voice full of panic and fear.
"Luffy, please tell me you have a plan to get us out of this!" Vivi, sobbing, very worried about what would happen.
"What were you thinking, Luffy? This is going to bring us trouble like we've never seen before," Zoro, frowning, serious and concerned.
"I can't believe you did this, Luffy. Stop the meteor!" Kuina, with tears in her eyes, looking for some hope in Luffy's answer.
"This is not 'superrr' at all! It's a total disaster!" Franky, clearly shaken, hands on his head in despair.
"Luffy, this will draw every possible enemy against us!" Usopp, crying uncontrollably, already imagining the worst scenarios.
"Hm? What is this...? Don't bother me when I'm in the middle of a negotiation right now." Luffy looked at his companions a bit confused.
"HOW DO YOU CALL THIS A NEGOTIATION!?" Everyone screamed at the same time making faces.
Luffy sighed. "You're bothering me. I'll talk to you later." Luffy returned to speaking but his tone was quite serious, making everyone swallow hard seeing that their captain did not want conversations and they returned to the deck lost, after all, Luffy had not finished the conversation with the 5 elders.
He turned his attention to the sky after seeing his crew walking away while murmuring. "It really was worth seeing," Luffy commented, looking as the meteor cut the horizon, lighting up the entire sea towards its end, where Mary Geoise was. "Now, how will you deal with this, World Government?" Luffy commented with an arrogant smile.
The 5 elders looked at the meteor flying towards the city through the window, even with anger at that and frowning, none of them seemed really worried.
They also didn't care about 7 people appearing in the room of power, kneeling to all of them. These 7 people, all wearing astronaut suits, were not just Tenryuubitos but also known as the most powerful Sacred Knights, the hidden power to destroy the government's enemies and protect the holy land. All remained kneeling in silence before the 5 Elders who were still looking out the window.
"You see what's happening, don't you?" The voice of Topman Warcury cut through the silence, severe and calm, addressing the kneeling ones.
"Yes, Goroseis. An attack against the gods of this world. An act of defiance that we cannot ignore," replied the leader of the Sacred Knights, without raising his head, his voice full of restrained authority.
"This meteor... a direct provocation. Monkey D. Luffy has crossed all boundaries," commented Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro.
"You..." Shepherd Ju Peter turned to the 7 people, "Destroy it without waking our sovereign.
"As you wish!" They all spoke together and disappeared.
All the Sacred Knights watched the gigantic ball of light approaching the city as it loomed large; the city was in despair as the Tenryuubitos either ran or demanded their slaves to quicken their pace, trying to hide in their Bankers quickly.
"Who's going to get rid of it?" Saint Venus spoke with a bored voice.
"Saint Mars, take care of it and Saint Jupiter, assist him." The leader, Saint Uranus, spoke with a severe and slow tone.
"Yes." Saint Mars said, leaping into the air with such speed that no one with common eyes could follow.
An explosion occurred in the sky above Mary Geoise as Saint Mars blasted through the air with his high-speed geppo towards the bright meteor in front of him.
He quickly entered the flame field of the rock and seemed unfazed by it as he burst that part of the meteor by punching it at that moment. However, the meteor didn't explode as it would from any other Sacred Knight's punch, but an unexpected transformation occurred. The impact of the attack resulted in its sudden and surprising metamorphosis, the meteor began to disintegrate, not into pieces of rock or space dust, but into thousands of small cubes, shining with light as they detached from the main body as a whole, now forming fire cubes flying towards Mary Geoise with the power of his Akuma no Mi, without even needing to use Haki.
Saint Mars looked satisfied at that while appearing behind the flaming cubes the size of a house in equal sizes. "Reduced it enough for you to move it." He said while waiting for Saint Jupiter to do the rest.
As he watched, the feminine figure of Saint Jupiter placed her hand on her hip watching those cubes coming towards them. "Leaving the rest to me, as always," she complained, even as it was an order from their leader, her voice carried a slight tone of reproach, she observed the floating cubes with a critical gaze, before acting.
With a theatrical sigh, she raised an elegant finger, and the space around the cubes seemed to distort, as if the reality around them was being bent by her will. Her Akuma no Mi had a unique and mysterious ability, an ability that allowed her to manipulate the space around her in ways impossible for the common mind.
Under her command, the cubes that floated inertly in the sky began to move, forming a complex pattern. They distorted as if that physical field did the same, following the direction indicated by her finger as she lowered it, moving now like a current they bent and went towards the mountain's ground without losing speed, it was as if they were going in the same path, but the distortion in space made them follow the "front" changed by the power of that Akuma no Mi.
The thousands of cubes began to fall towards the sea, below the great Mountain, she just nodded satisfied while Saint Mars landed alongside all the Sacred Knights.
"What shall we do now?" Saint Jupiter asked after seeing the last cube disappearing among the clouds below, despite still seeing them lighting up the place as they caught fire.
"We will stay waiting for any other attacks until the 5 elders decide to give new orders." Saint Uranus spoke and everyone nodded, while the other Sacred Knights helped organize the chaos created in the city, as many Tenryuubitos wanted to know who sent that meteor.
"They dealt with it easily..." Marcus Mars spoke with a neutral tone, but a sharp look.
"But we still have to deal with this pirate..." Shepherd Ju Peter commented with some frustration at the audacity of it.
"Let's see what he wants, after proving that he is more dangerous than we thought." Jaygarcia Saturn spoke, returning to the communicator waiting for them, yet keeping the same smile.
