"Are you going to fight? Your strength is different now than before! But... don't forget who the Rocks are." If anyone wished to command Rocks D. Xebec, mere talent would never be enough. Ayr's power was undeniable, his rise to the top swift and overwhelming—few in the world could even hope to rival him—but Rocks was another kind of monster entirely, a legend born from ambition and chaos.
"Ayr, with your power, you must already stand at the peak of the world. But..." The Marines nearby exchanged uneasy glances, dread creeping across their faces as they began to retreat. None of them dared approach the two men standing before them. Every instinct screamed at them to flee. The very idea that Rocks, the tyrant of an old era, had been resurrected, sent tremors through their resolve. The balance of the world was tilting, and they could feel it.
If the combined might of Ayr and Rocks truly stood united, then even the full power of the World Government—its admirals, its fleets, its Cipher Pol agents—might not be enough to stand against them. The resurrection of Rocks D. Xebec was no mere rumor or illusion. It was real. It was happening. The seas themselves seemed to quiver in acknowledgment of this impossible event. "No problem at all," one Marine tried to mutter bravely, but his voice cracked under the weight of his own fear.
The isolated Marine base nearby was the only open space capable of containing such monsters, yet even that felt inadequate. Urgent messages were already being sent across the den den mushi lines. Reports would soon reach Marine Headquarters. Marshal Kong had to know. "Such a thing... can it really be?" one Marine captain whispered, hand trembling as he stared at the resurrected Rocks. "Rocks... back from the dead?"
Those resurrected by Ayr retained not only their strength and memories but their will. Their presence alone was enough to drive fear into the hearts of even the most disciplined soldiers. The last time Rocks had walked these seas, his ambition alone had nearly brought the world to ruin. To see him alive again—this was no less than a nightmare reborn.
On a distant battleship, Marine soldiers stood frozen, eyes wide with disbelief. "Is this a joke? Rocks, alive? How could that even be possible?" Yet the evidence stood before them, undeniable. Ayr's expression was calm, unreadable, his aura heavy enough to distort the very air. His power alone was enough to rival the greatest beings of this age, but the Rocks standing before him seemed to radiate something even more terrifying—an ancient supremacy that transcended time itself. The world would never be the same again.
"Boom!" The atmosphere trembled, the sea rippling violently under the collision of two monstrous auras. The ship creaked and groaned, straining against the overwhelming pressure. Rocks D. Xebec stood with his arms crossed, a dangerous smile curving across his face as his conqueror's Haki flickered faintly in the air like distant thunder. "So, you're the one who resurrected me? What's your plan, Ayr? Are we going to fight, or stand around talking all day?" His tone was laced with challenge and arrogance—the voice of a king who had never bowed to anyone.
The weight of their combined presence made the very air feel heavy, crushing even for those who only watched from afar. Ayr's calm eyes reflected quiet calculation. He hadn't resurrected Rocks to hide him from the world; he had done so to witness his strength firsthand, to test whether the legend of the past could still stand tall in this new age. Rocks was the embodiment of chaos, ambition, and domination. This was the perfect chance to see how far that fire could still burn.
In the distance, the Marine battleship now seemed like a mere speck on the horizon, trembling under the tension between these two giants. Ayr turned his gaze toward the sea and spoke in a quiet yet commanding tone. "Take us to the Marine Base. There's no time to waste." His words were calm, but they carried absolute authority, leaving the Marines no choice but to obey. They could only watch in horror as the two figures—symbols of unrestrained power—stood side by side, their very existence warping the air around them.
"Rocks... resurrected!" The whisper spread across the waves, racing from ship to ship, island to island, until it became a storm of panic and disbelief that swept through the world. The seas, already turbulent, began to boil with rumors. The return of Rocks D. Xebec was no longer a myth—it was a terrifying truth. And with Ayr's mysterious power to control life and death, the age of balance was coming to an end.
As the Marines scrambled to maintain control, it was clear that the top forces of the world would soon be summoned. The Admirals, the Gorosei, perhaps even Im-sama himself—someone would have to face this unimaginable threat. But could anyone truly stand against them? Ayr waved his hand dismissively toward the Marines. "This island is too small for us to unleash our full power. Take us somewhere vast—somewhere worthy of battle."
Rocks' grin widened into a dark, feral smile. "You think we can't show our full strength here? Hmph. Fine. Lead the way." His laugh rolled like thunder, echoing across the sea, sharp and wild, the laughter of a man who had defied death itself. The ship beneath them shook violently, waves splitting open as the sheer pressure of their combined power pushed outward like a storm. The Marines fell to their knees, unable to stand against the force of it.
As the two figures stepped forward—one a reborn legend, the other a man who commanded life and death—the world seemed to hold its breath. The era of Rocks had once ended in blood and betrayal, but now, standing beside Ayr, that legacy was about to be rewritten. The sea trembled beneath them, the sky dimmed above them, and far beyond the horizon, the world's greatest powers began to stir once more.
The age of monsters had returned. And this time—no one knew who would survive it.
