The Power Of Uranus

After Finn was obliterated by Im's attack, Ke Kedi's ability activated, rewinding time by one minute. Hidden in the shadow world, Finn began observing Im, taking note of a small, tangible orb floating behind him. The orb emitted an aura of immense power, resembling the Truth-Seeking Balls wielded by Six Paths Madara from Naruto. It was this orb that had unleashed the devastating incandescent beam that had struck Finn before he could react.

Finn, now cloaked in shadows, positioned himself directly beneath Im. From this concealed vantage point, he noted Im's momentary lack of awareness, presenting an ideal opportunity for a decisive strike. Without hesitation, Finn infused his blade, Enma, with his strongest Armament Haki and launched himself from the shadows. His strike was precise and fierce, aiming to end the battle in one blow.

"Look! It's the Marshal!"

"Master Finn is alive! He's back to finish this!"

The Marines erupted in cheers, their spirits lifted.

Im, sensing the threat too late, trembled in panic. His face twisted with fear as Finn's blade neared. Yet, just as the sword was about to strike, the orb behind Im emitted an intense white-purple light. A beam shot out with blinding speed, once again reducing Finn to dust before he could land his attack.

Silence fell over the battlefield.

The Marines, who had moments earlier celebrated Finn's apparent return, now stood in stunned disbelief.

"How could this happen?"

"Marshal Finn… Is this the end?"

Even Finn himself was momentarily shocked. His carefully timed ambush, executed with near-perfect conditions, had failed because of the orb's reaction speed. Im, visibly shaken, quickly masked his fear, regaining his composure.

"Your Marine Marshal is indeed surprising," Im declared, his voice calm yet cutting. "No wonder you were willing to rebel under his command. But it matters not—before me, all outcomes are the same."

The Marines' eyes turned to the orb, now identified as Uranus, one of the three legendary ancient weapons alongside Poseidon and Pluton. Unlike Pluton's devastating warship or Poseidon's control over the Sea Kings, Uranus had taken the form of this unassuming yet overwhelmingly powerful orb.

Finn, back in the shadow world, pieced together the orb's mechanics. Im's initial panic indicated that his strength alone was not formidable—his dominance stemmed from Uranus. Furthermore, the orb's attacks appeared automated, targeting Finn the moment he emerged from the shadows, regardless of his intent or proximity to Im.

Testing this theory, Finn reappeared, this time at a distance. As expected, the orb unleashed another beam, erasing Finn instantly. But Finn was prepared. He repeated this process, each time leaving behind fragments—an arm here, a leg there—before re-entering the shadow world.

The Marines watched in disbelief as Finn appeared and was obliterated repeatedly, each time leaving some trace of himself behind.

"What is the Marshal doing?"

"He's dying over and over again!"

Im, though outwardly composed, began to frown. Despite Uranus's relentless efficiency, Finn's repeated returns unsettled him. Was this infinite resurrection? Or was Finn pursuing some elusive strategy?

Hours passed. Finn's appearances and deaths continued in an unrelenting cycle. The Marines, once stunned, now sat on the ground, their expressions a mix of awe and exhaustion, as if watching a surreal play unfold.

Finally, Finn reappeared—this time, something was different. As the orb unleashed its devastating beam, Finn dodged at the last moment, vanishing before the attack could connect.

"What?! Did the Marshal just dodge Uranus?"

All eyes widened in shock and hope. For the first time, it seemed that Finn had found a way to overcome the relentless power of Uranus.
