Makima’s power of control, the key to hell

All of this is too bizarre.

Machvise herself is in Alubarna, bringing only a few prisoners, yet in that moment, she inflicted a wound on Aatrox, the first time he has been injured in this battle!

If they hadn't witnessed it happening right in front of them, they wouldn't have believed it.

Aatrox' power was displayed too dominantly before, but now Machvise, from such a distant location, attempted an assassination. Doesn't this mean that, if she wishes, she can use such a method on them too?

This is terrifying...

Equally shocked are the people at the core of the battlefield in Juba. They watched Aatrox, who had displayed immense power earlier, suddenly suffer a traumatic blow. Large amounts of flesh were torn apart in that moment.

"What's going on here?!"

Even Roger was stunned.

"There's no need to think, it's that woman's doing. The Four Sisters like playing these kinds of conspiracies." Aatrox' words carried a strong mockery. "But it doesn't matter; conspiracies are the privilege of the weak."

He swung his sword forcefully. The strike wasn't aimed at Roger or anyone on Juba.

With a swing of the massive sword, the attack went directly northeast, towards the direction of Alabasta's capital, Alubarna.

Boom!

In an instant, even the sky was split open. The thick clouds seemed plowed like cultivated land. A massive force thundered towards the distance, carrying endless brutality and destruction.

In Alubarna, people felt a sudden powerful oppression. Even before that force approached, they involuntarily knelt on the ground, as if bearing tremendous pressure. Some even had blood flowing from their noses.

"What... what's going on?!"

The king himself was almost breathless from the pressure. Perhaps only Machvise, standing unharmed in Alubarna, could withstand it.

Machvise didn't answer the king's question. At this moment, she went all out.

Above her, a halo made of flesh appeared, seemingly containing something inside. Countless chains extended from her navel into the flesh halo.

From that halo emerged a sun, thunderclouds, and a sword. It was Machvise's version of Prometheus, Zeus, and Napoleon. At this moment, she infused her power into them, and the three forces instantly merged.

Boom!

With a powerful sword swing, she released a tremendous force. Meanwhile, Aatrox' sword energy had already reached beyond Alabasta. People could see the previously split clouds from there.

At this moment, the collision of two forces occurred outside Alubarna. There was a deafening roar, and a huge mushroom cloud rose from that direction. Previously, the clouds were just split, but now they were directly dispersed!

The cosmic rays reached the surface of the world, and sunlight illuminated the previously gloomy world. The entire Alubarna, under the shock of the collision, trembled like an earthquake.

People panicked and fled. After Machvise unleashed her power, the pressure on them eased significantly. That allowed them to express their panic more vividly.

Afterward, the collision of forces concluded.

Although Aatrox was powerful, it was evident that even such a formidable force, crossing such a vast distance—perhaps hundreds of kilometers—would be considerably weakened.

After Machvise blocked this attack, her figure suddenly disappeared.

In Juba...

Roger, at the first moment of Aatrox' attack, didn't react in time. By the time he realized what Aatrox had done, it was too late; Aatrox had already swung the sword.

What was in that direction?

He didn't know, but whatever the enemy wanted to do, he couldn't let it happen easily.

Roger was about to seize the opportunity to attack Aatrox, but at this moment, many anomalies suddenly occurred.

Many rats suddenly ran out from around that pyramid. The rats piled up, forming a humanoid shape. In the next moment, Machvise's figure appeared within it!

Everyone present was stunned, looking at Machvise, who had suddenly appeared.

How did she arrive?

Wasn't Aatrox attacking her earlier?

"At the last moment, you still won't appear?"

Machvise stood in front of the pyramid, looking at Aatrox with his back turned to the pyramid. She spoke softly, "If a Demon Lord wants to destroy this place, it wouldn't be beneficial for you, right?"

She is...

Speaking to whom?

Roger frowned. He spread his Observation Haki, and at this moment, he suddenly froze. He saw something appearing in his hand.

It was a green pyramid?!

What is this?

This question appeared in his mind at the same time as the answer.

The functionality of this green pyramid was captured by his Observation Haki. His eyes widened as he looked at Machvise.

Machvise remained composed. She also saw the green pyramid in Roger's hand.

"Do you put your hope in someone severely injured?"

She suddenly chuckled, "Well, if that's your choice... I'll be happy to oblige."

After saying that, her figure suddenly disappeared again?!

Appearing suddenly and disappearing just as abruptly, Machvise's actions were puzzling. Aatrox seemed to recognize her, but after her arrival, Aatrox didn't say anything to her, and she didn't say anything to Aatrox.

It's as if Machvise didn't come to deal with Aatrox but specifically to talk to the unidentified person.

Clearly, that person didn't hand the green pyramid to Machvise but transmitted it to Roger's hand.

Roger didn't know who that was, but Dragon, Cap, and Crane did. It was the gatekeeper of Hell, Sōsuke Aizen. Did Machvise have some acquaintance with him?

The events that happened thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago were confusing, but regardless, Roger now knew what he had to do.

He looked at Aatrox, and Aatrox looked at him.

"The Key to Hell... so that's it." Aatrox said softly at this moment. "Is this your plan? To seal me within the Boundary? It seems like a good idea. This should be the idea of that woman 'Manipulator,' right?"

"I don't know who Manipulator is, but this is Machvise's idea." Roger said coldly.

"Come on, this is the final battle!"
