Chapter 369: What will they do with the second?

Klang! Klang!!!!

Weapons fell from the hands of many of the Marines.

Some people trembled, some had their limbs weakened, their feet were unsteady and they fell straight to the ground, sweating profusely, their eyes full of fear and disbelief staring at the sky.

"What the hell..."

"What the... What's wrong?!"

Not only the ordinary marines, but even Sengoku, Kong and the others felt terrified and broke out in a cold sweat as they stared at the huge meteorite falling from the sky.

Where did such a huge meteorite come from in the sky?!

Is this also the ability of the "Traveler"?

After a few seconds of shock and bewilderment, Kong finally came to his senses and shouted out loud, "Everyone below the rank of Vice Admiral, I order you to start evacuating to the shelters!!! Immediately!!!"

"Everyone in the shelter, hurry!!!"

Sengoku also came to his senses and roared loudly.

Hearing Sengoku and Kong's screams, the surrounding marines finally began to come to their senses and ran in panic towards the subway shelter.

There is a shelter built of kairoseki underneath the Marine Headquarters.

It is used as a shelter in case of a sudden crisis, when there is simply no time for a complete evacuation of the island.

Initially, this shelter did not exist.

But after Golden Lion Shiki attacked the headquarters and destroyed almost half of the Marine Headquarters, resulting in massive losses among the Marines, the decision was made to build a subway emergency shelter.

Since the size of the shelter should not be as large as the Marine Headquarters itself, it was built with the strongest material in the world: kairoseki, which also has the property of containing any devil fruit ability.

"Hurry!!!"

"Run to the shelter!"

Numerous marines ran towards the nearest entrances to the shelter.

The people living in the settlement at the rear of the Marine Headquarters had evacuated to the shelter at the beginning of the battle, but the numerous marines had only just begun to evacuate.

"Damn!"

"It can't just break. If it breaks, it will cause greater losses..."

In the middle of the square, only Sengoku, Kong, Garp, Aokiji and the other vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters remained.

At this moment, they all stared at the huge meteorite falling from the sky.

Too big!

Even a little bigger than the island where Navy Headquarters is located!

Not so scary, if it was just a huge rock sitting on the ground, many of those present could crush it, but should it fall from the sky, such a rich one had a terrifying momentum!

Stationary and falling islands are two completely different concepts!

Even if they could work together to crush such a large meteorite, they could never destroy all the fragments.

In this scenario, the Navy Headquarters and the ships in the harbor will not only be destroyed, but even the ships outside the harbor will suffer from the rising tsunami and many fragments of the meteorite.

At this point, there was no time to speculate on where Yeruashi had obtained such a large meteorite, it was much more important to immediately develop an effective method of counterattack!

"Ara-ra-ra-ra-ra, we have to stop it first."

Aokiji took a deep breath.

He stared at the approaching meteorite and placed his palm on the ground, "It was ice!"

Crack! Crack! Crack!!!!!

The entire area was instantly covered with ice, and then several huge icicles began to grow rapidly from the ice toward the falling meteorite.

But because the momentum of the falling meteorite was too great, Aokiji's huge icicles broke into small pieces upon collision with it.

Aokiji continued to relentlessly create huge icicles, but they broke one after another, unable to resist the momentum of the huge meteorite.

"Don't just stand there, do something!!!"

Kong exclaimed loudly and flew into the sky using geppo.

He quickly reached the meteorite and pressed against its underside with his arms covered with his armament will, doing his best to weaken the momentum.

At the same time.

Garp quickly soared into the sky and planted his hands on the meteorite next to Kong, while continuously using geppo with all his might.

If necessary, Garp and Kong could destroy a small island by doing everything possible.

Although his momentum was greatly weakened due to the fact that geppo had to be used as a foothold, the meteorite's fall clearly slowed down.

"... Hurry up, let's help!"

Seeing the obvious effect, the other vice admirals used geppo one by one and flew towards the falling meteorite.

Although these vice-admirals were much weaker than Kong and Garp, combined, they could play an important role, further slowing down the falling speed of the giant meteorite.

Crack! Crack!!!!

Aokiji's icicles continued to break, but it didn't happen as fast as in the beginning, only a small amount of fragments fell.

The giant meteorite continued to fall slowly.

The Buddha-shaped Sengoku jumped over the Marine Headquarters and stood on the edge of the solid fortress, severely damaging the large wooden building located at the top of the fortress.

The Admiral's huge golden palms moved in the direction of the falling meteorite.

Boom!!!

A golden shockwave erupted from his palms and slammed into the surface of the meteorite, causing it to shake violently.

The rate of fall slowed once again.

Thanks to the combined efforts of Garp, Kong, Sengoku and the rest of the marines, the terrifying momentum of the huge meteorite falling from the sky could finally be contained.

At this point.

Aokiji, who remained on the ground, pushed his devil fruit ability to the limit, starting to create ten huge icicles on the ground.

This time, the icicles were finally not crushed and rested against the base of the huge meteorite.

Then, ice spread out from the icicles and quickly enveloped the entire meteorite, finally stopping it in the sky just above Marine Headquarters.

The meteor came to a complete stop.

"They have some skills..."

Yeruashi, who was already cruising around the harbor in the boat with Robin, shook his head as he saw the giant meteorite was stopped by the combined efforts of Garp and the others, and then Aokiji froze it completely.

The meteorite was covered with an intricate ice pattern and was supported from below by a huge column of ice, seen from the outside, it looked very much like a soccer cup from Yeruashi's past life.

At this point.

Kong and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief as they saw that the meteorite was firmly held by the Aokiji ice, and then looked at the small ship speeding away from the Navy HQ.

"Don't even think about leaving here, you bastard!!!"

A flash of coldness flashed through Kong's eyes, "Aokiji!!!"

"I understand!"

Aokiji was covered in sweat and breathing heavily, but when he heard the Fleet Admiral's shout, he immediately ran to the harbor, intending to freeze the sea with "Ice Age" to prevent Yeruashi from escaping.

But at that moment.

Yeruashi, who was standing on the deck of the ship, calmly looked at Aokiji, Kong and the others, "You really have some power to accept my gift, but there's a little problem..."

"What will you do with the second one?"

Whether it was Aokiji, who was about to freeze the sea, or Kong and the rest of the marines, who were about to chase after him, everyone abruptly froze when they heard Yeruashi's calm words.

Immediately after.

They all paled and raised their heads, staring in disbelief at the sky obscured by the giant ice meteorite.

With the help of the will of observation, they could feel another meteorite of the same size falling on the giant frozen meteorite from above!

Boom!!!

Without waiting for Kong and the others to react, the second meteorite fell on the surface of the frozen meteorite.

Large cracks appeared on the top of the frozen meteorite, spreading rapidly downward.

The huge icicles holding the meteorite were almost instantly covered with many cracks and began to break into pieces!

"Not good!"

"Damn!!!"

Kong, Aokiji and the others were in shock.

Although they immediately rushed towards the sky, but this time the marines didn't have enough time and strength to stop the second meteorite from falling!

The two meteors fell rapidly, crushing Aokiji's huge icicles, and finally crashed into the Marine Headquarters with a terrifying roar.

...

The fifth year since the beginning of the Pirate Era.

Two huge meteorites fell from the sky, completely destroying the Navy Headquarters.

The island on which the Navy Headquarters was previously located has turned into a huge, strangely shaped mountain.

After this incident, the Navy HQ forces moved to the G-1 base located in the New World.

The G-1 base was rebuilt, becoming the new headquarters of the Navy.

Regarding this incident, it was rumored that the meteorite fall and the destruction of the headquarters were somehow instigated by the Traveler, whose bounty skyrocketed to 3 billion 248 million 200 thousand belli.

Although most people were extremely skeptical about these rumors, the news spread throughout the Grand Line.

Yeruashi's name once again echoed across the sea, stirring up another storm!
