It was somewhat funny to say.
Among the three Great Ancient Weapons, Uma knew the locations of both Pluton and Poseidon.
Only Uranus was not mentioned in the original story, and he only had guesses about it.
But he never expected that the first Ancient Weapon he truly saw would actually be Uranus.
And now, what the Fruit Encyclopedia displayed was exactly the essence of this Ancient Weapon.
Wishes, faith — whatever you want to call it.
The world's wish to deify the sky created the existence of Uranus.
"It's similar to the concept of the birth of Devil Fruits, but there are also differences."
"The birth of Devil Fruits is the natural result of the Genesis Pillar receiving people's cognition towards things, but the three Great Ancient Weapons are clearly not necessarily so."
"Judging from the situation of Pluton, the Ancient Weapons were highly likely 'born' under people's intentional guidance or creation."
Roy figured out many things.
In the long past history, the number of people who knew of the existence of the Genesis Pillar was definitely not small.
Could it be that for all these years, Davy Jones was the only person who had attempted to obtain the power of that divine tree?
Of course not.
In the more ancient past, there were definitely other attempters.
And the Ancient Weapons were highly likely born at that time.
"The Giant race represents the strongest race on the earth. From the situation in the original story, Giants themselves are mobile disasters on the sea, and have been feared by various countries since ancient times."
"So the Giant race could accommodate that wish and become the race that births Uranus."
"The Fish-Man race naturally represents the sea, so they are the race that births Poseidon."
This was also enough to explain why, on the murals of the Abyss, only the Fish-Man race and the Giant race appeared so special — and why they were even bestowed with the branches of the Genesis Pillar, Treasure Tree Adam and Sunlight Tree Eve, by Davy Jones.
That wasn't just because of the power they possessed, but also because the Giant race and the Fish-Man race themselves were the races bearing the Ancient Weapons.
"Able to communicate with non-personal entities like the surrounding heaven, earth, and nature."
Uma could even understand the principles of how the power of Uranus operated.
According to the original story, since Loki's birth, the climate of the entirety of Elbaf had fallen into anomaly — it was said that in that year, Elbaf simultaneously experienced heavy rain, snow disasters, storms, and earthquakes.
Looking at it now, this was clearly due to the characteristics of Uranus.
"Just like when Princess Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island awakened her power, all the giant Sea Kings in the nearby sea area would come to pay their respects to their King."
"When Loki was born, the abnormal astronomical phenomena throughout the Country of Giants were highly likely because the heaven and earth sensed his birth."
But this was still not all.
"It's not just communicating with Uranus, but also the combination of the Nidhogg Fruit and Lightning — the former collects Source Energy of Lineage Factor, while the latter can send the Source Energy of Lineage Factor into the bodies of things to enhance them."
If an ordinary person ate the Nidhogg Fruit, then this enhancement would inevitably be limited to living creatures or objects.
But for Loki, who could communicate with astronomical phenomena, he could even bestow the power of Lightning and Source Energy of Lineage Factor upon the entire surrounding heaven, earth, and natural environment.
That was exactly the power Teach displayed at this moment.
The nearby sky and all natural phenomena had gained consciousness, and due to the bestowal of Source Energy of Lineage Factor, they possessed unbelievable power.
"It truly is an Ancient Weapon..."
Uma could almost imagine — this power was indeed great enough to destroy any army or country, and even sufficient to destroy the world.
To put it more bluntly, for the current Roy, he didn't actually have a good method to deal with Uranus — especially a Uranus that had already devoured the vast majority of the Source Energy of Lineage Factor of Treasure Tree Adam.
But right now, he didn't panic.
Because from the very beginning of this battle, he had been testing one thing.
And until now, he was almost certain his guess was right.
Therefore—
Rumble!
As the flickering lightning of Uranus crashed down once again, the starlight surrounding the Phantasm World beside Uma finally completely dimmed.
The entire starlight began to visibly totter, and even the Book of the Stars in Uma's hand began to show distinct cracks.
"Zehahaha!"
Upon seeing this, an excited light flashed in Teach's eyes.
"Can't hold on anymore? As expected — the so-called Zodiac is only at this level!"
But his words hadn't finished before he heard Uma speak.
"Mr. Mountain, let's begin!"
He said this.
"Hm?"
As Uma's words fell, Teach was stunned — begin? Begin what?
But in a split second, he reacted. His gaze immediately turned towards Gaban, who was currently leading the Heroic Spirits liberated by Uma in fighting the unliberated undead.
"What are they... trying to do?"
It was only at this moment that Teach realized a problem.
He had previously focused wholeheartedly on dealing with Uma, and simultaneously — being wary of his ability — had cautiously chosen not to step into the Phantasm World or the center of the battlefield himself.
So it wasn't until now that he discovered: at some unknown point, the place where the Heroic Spirit and undead armies were fighting was already located between the center of the Phantasm World and the Kingdom of the Dead.
That is — around the giant crater where the previously shattered deep well had been.
And because the Heroic Spirits present were all renowned warriors and powerhouses from the past, the intensity of their battle was naturally extreme — so much so that right now, even though they were still some distance away, the earth beneath their feet had already faintly cracked.
If they continued fighting without intervention, the battlefield they were on would highly likely plunge into that deep crater as well.
And right now—
"Hey, Jorul — is that brat called Gaban trustworthy? And that masked guy..."
A Giant warrior from hundreds of years ago asked Jorul this.
"Senior Hamica, I'm also not sure if they are trustworthy. But since Dorry, Brogy, and Saul all chose to trust them, then they must be comrades."
Jorul similarly laughed heartily — he didn't recognize Gaban, nor did he know of The Zodiac, but he at least recognized Dorry and Brogy.
"But I truly didn't expect that in the end, we would actually have to do it ourselves... mm, even a guy like me feels it's very heavy."
"Gagagagaga, what are you afraid of? Warriors are meant to forge ahead courageously!"
Jorul said this.
And simultaneously—
"Alright, stop discussing — time is precious!"
Gaban sent the Giant before him flying with a swing of his axe, turning around to look at those liberated Heroic Spirits he had 'greeted' long ago.
"As far as I know, The Zodiac can still be considered trustworthy guys."
"Moreover, even without us, that guy called Teach would ultimately cause that outcome anyway."
"Since that's the case, it's better if we personally do it..."
As he spoke, the Conqueror's Haki wrapping the twin axes he held in his hands intensified to the extreme.
Then, amidst Teach's horrified gaze, he raised the twin axes high.
And the place where his Haki urged destruction was precisely right beneath his feet.
The next moment—
BOOM!
The earth shattered.
The figures of Gaban and his opponent, a legendary Giant Heroic Spirit, plummeted downward along with the shattered earth.
The axes in Gaban's hands were still raised high.
His gaze looked at that profoundly deep and massive crater — and the root system of Treasure Tree Adam within it, already on the verge of death.
Undoubtedly, at this height, even with his strength, he would definitely fall to his death... oh wait, he was already dead to begin with.
But in any case, Gaban at this moment was entirely without fear.
He merely continued to fall, then aimed at those massive roots.
"If doing this can bring hope—"
"Elbaf will be destroyed by our own hands!"
As the words fell, he hurled the twin axes from his hands.
