Robin, after following the suggestion of Gojo, immediately rushed to the other side of the Tower of Justice. Her footsteps echoed sharply against the fractured stone as urgency pushed her forward. Without wasting a second, she informed the Straw Hats about the impending doom of the Buster Call—that it was coming, and that this was something they absolutely had to take seriously.
The weight of her words settled heavily in the air.
But the Straw Hats didn't respond with fear first.
They responded with heart.
They gathered around her, they expressed their support for her that she is their crew mate. In that fragile moment, Robin's voice trembled as she confessed what she had been holding back all along—that she wanted to stay with them.
"I… I want to stay with you."
Her gaze dropped slightly.
She admitted she hadn't felt right when she chose to leave them. That decision had been made out of fear… out of selfishness… out of a belief she had convinced herself was correct.
I thought I was protecting them…
Her fingers tightened faintly.
She apologized—for everything. For the pain, for pushing them away, for leaving when she never truly wanted to.
And in that moment, with destruction looming ever closer, Robin stopped running.
She chose to stay.
…
And then, the Straw Hats were ready to escape.
They had come all the way to the Tower of Justice to take Robin back, and now there was no hesitation left. It was time to leave.
Just at that moment, Sanji's sharp eyes caught something in the distance—the Gate of Justice.
That humongous, towering gate was opening on the far side of Enies Lobby, its massive structure shifting with a deep, thunderous groan that rolled across the sea.
Sanji's gaze narrowed.
Without hesitation, he understood—there had to be a way to control that gate from inside Enies Lobby. A mechanism. A control room.
There's no way a gate that big doesn't have an internal control…
His mind moved quickly.
And then he moved.
Swift and precise, Sanji made his way to the control room, slipping through the chaos without wasting a single second. The air inside hummed faintly with machinery as he reached out—
And shut the Gates of Justice.
Far away, the colossal doors began to close, the sound echoing like a distant storm.
But by then, it had already become another matter.
All the ships of the Buster Call had already passed through.
He couldn't stop them from entering.
Still—
By closing the Gates of Justice, Sanji had done something else.
Something crucial.
The balance of the sea shifted.
The currents twisted unnaturally, forced to redirect as the gates sealed shut. The waters around Enies Lobby turned violent, massive whirlpools forming and spiraling outward. Waves clashed and surged, throwing the Marine ships into disarray.
The fleet began to lose stability.
Ships rocked violently, formations breaking apart as control slipped through the Marines' grasp.
And before all of this, one of the Vice Admirals had already given the order—
The moment they entered the vicinity of Enies Lobby, they were to begin firing.
So they did.
Cannons roared across the sea, one after another, launching a barrage directly toward Enies Lobby.
But the raging currents betrayed them.
Their aim faltered.
Cannonballs tore through the air, only to crash uselessly into the sea or vanish into the abyss, missing their targets entirely.
…
Above it all—
Gojo had already seen everything.
With his Observation Haki, he knew the Straw Hats had reunited with Robin and were leaving the Tower of Justice.
And he already knew what he had to do.
Disrupt the Buster Call.
Completely.
He walked forward across the ruined floor of the Tower of Justice, broken stone crunching faintly beneath his steps. There were no walls left—only open air, wind rushing freely through the destruction.
He reached the edge.
Beyond it lay the abyss—a vast, unnatural drop where the sea poured endlessly downward around Enies Lobby, the roar of falling water constant and overwhelming.
Gojo didn't stop.
He stepped forward.
And walked into the air.
His foot left the ground—but he didn't fall.
Step by step, he continued walking as if the sky itself were solid beneath him. Calm. Effortless. Untouched by gravity.
The wind brushed past him.
Right on time…
He raised his hand, extending his index and middle fingers upward.
"Blue."
At his fingertips, a point of energy formed.
A dense sphere of Blue began to take shape, pulling at everything around it. The air warped. Space bent inward as the sphere grew larger… and larger… and larger.
Its presence became suffocating.
Gojo's gaze locked onto the Buster Call fleet.
He chose his target.
The leftmost ship.
With a simple flick of his hand—
He released it.
…
The captain of the Marine ship on the far left was the first to see it.
That massive blue sphere was coming straight toward them.
The closer it got, the more unnatural it felt. The air twisted. Pressure built. Its size kept increasing, its presence growing heavier with every passing second.
"Fire on that thing! Now!" the captain shouted.
Cannons roared.
Across the fleet, the Vice Admirals echoed the command—fire at the blue sphere, stop its advance.
Shot after shot was launched.
But the sea was against them.
The violent waves threw off their aim. Most cannonballs missed entirely, plunging into the water or disappearing into the abyss.
But the few that struck—
Didn't explode.
They were caught.
The cannonballs began to orbit the Blue.
Like planets around a sun.
One after another, more were drawn in, spinning faster, pulled into its gravitational force. Collisions sparked explosions—
Boom. Boom.
Smoke and fire flickered briefly before being swallowed by the spiraling motion.
And still—
Blue advanced.
…
Then it struck.
The leftmost ship.
A chain of explosions erupted instantly.
Boom. Boom. BOOM.
The ship was annihilated.
The distortion of Blue tore through it, while the orbiting cannonballs slammed into it repeatedly, amplifying the destruction. It was like fuel thrown into fire—the power surged, intensified.
Debris joined the orbit.
Wood, iron, shattered remains—all spinning around Blue like a storm of destruction.
And then—
Gojo guided it.
The Blue shifted toward the next ship.
Impact.
Destroyed.
Then the next.
Destroyed.
Again.
And again.
(A/N: Image in the comments.)
One after another, all ten ships of the Buster Call were decimated. There was no pause, no resistance that mattered—only relentless destruction as the fleet collapsed piece by piece.
The Buster Call—
Was erased.
Only a few survived.
The Vice Admirals and a handful of elite Marines barely avoided its path, their instincts screaming at them to stay clear. Even then, they had no idea how to counter it.
What is this…?
The rest—
Thousands of Marines—
Were caught in its pull.
Their bodies were dragged into the orbit, spinning violently among debris and cannonballs. Impacts struck from all sides—bones shattered, bodies twisted—
And then they were flung away.
Thrown into the sea like they were nothing.
Below, the waters churned and swallowed them whole.
Still, Blue moved forward, unstoppable.
By the time it finished, nothing remained of the fleet but scattered wreckage.
The Vice Admirals hovered in the air using Moon Walk, silent, watching the destruction unfold beneath them.
Those marines who couldn't use it had no choice but to leap into the raging sea, struggling to survive.
Above it all—
The sky remained still.
And the Buster Call was no more.
