Somehow there was a complete silence when the pitch black sphere rose up in the air slowly. There was no talks, no shots from cannon and even the blatant shouts of Spandam had stopped. Every one looked at the sphere in awe and fear mixed together.
The black sphere stopped after rising up high in the air.
"What is this?"
"Some kind of decoration?"
"Why do I feel fear just looking at it? It is as if it will suck everything away."
Those small murmurs were going around. At first nobody felt anything, but soon people around started to feel a pull in their body. A pull that was not pointed downwards but towards the small sphere. It was not much at the beginning, but the pull started to rise at a very fast pace.
At first it was the water but soon everyone realized that it was a gravitational pull. A massive gravitational force emanated from the sphere, causing the very ground beneath the ships to tremble. The sea itself seemed to recoil as the waves surged and crashed against each other in a desperate attempt to escape the impending catastrophe.
"Shoot.."
"Shoot this thing down."
"Oh god.. What is this?"
Water, ground segments and parts of ship had already started to break off and rising towards the black sphere with incredible speed and were growing in size every second. The men were holding on to their ships while the Vice Admirals, who were closer to Ken, were using moonwalking to escape from the pull, but it was slowly getting harder by the second.
Seeing this, not only the CP agents had their eyes wide looking at Ken, but even the Straw Hats didn't anticipate such a move, but they were proud and happy.
It grew in size, swallowing the ships one by one into its all-consuming darkness. The Buster Call fleet's cannons fired in vain, but their attacks dissipated against the impenetrable shield of the Planetary Devastation.
"We need to take down Punisher Kenny if we ever want to stop this menace." One of the vice admirals shouted.
"Right."
"Let's go."
All of the vice admirals put everything on their moonwalk and approached Ken at a fast speed, though it was marred a lot by the pull. It could be seen that even the vice admirals were finding it hard. But with determination, they reached Ken, who was just standing on water and looking at the chaos around him.
"It's over, Punisher Kenny."
"Now die."
Every Vice-Admiral performed their strongest attack on Ken, and he just looked with Rinnegan's eyes towards these people. For some reason, looking at the gray ring-like eyes
"That's a whole lot of assumptions you made in a few seconds." Ken said.
"Shinra Tensei." (Almighty Push)
All of the Vice Admirals, including their attacks, stopped right before Ken, and in the next second, everyone got pushed away at extreme speed in the same direction they came from. Ken had used the attack on multiple people, and thus the effect wasn't as good as on Aokiji. It had to be remembered that it was only recently that he had gained access to Rinnegan, and he still didn't have full control over his powers.
The vice admirals were thrown several meters before stopping in the air. They were bruised all over and were almost on the verge of drowning. It was good that they had Rokushiki with them, or else it would have been disastrous. These Vice-Admirals were not like Vergo, who could coat their full bodies with Haki.
Only Tekkai was helpful, and it somehow made them survive the sudden violent push. It had to be remembered that these people were approaching Ken at a super-fast speed, so the momentum was doubled.
"Shit."
"What the hell was that?"
"Admiral Aokiji spoke of this. Even with Haki, it is unavoidable."
Meanwhile, the ships around them were getting wrecked. As the ships were pulled into the swirling void, screams of terror echoed across the sea. The destruction was swift and merciless, as the vessels were crushed under the overwhelming gravitational forces. Splintering wood, shattering glass, and anguished cries filled the air as the once-mighty fleet was reduced to nothing more than debris.
The Vice Admirals wanted to go and stop Ken, but it was already too late. They were being sucked in with huge force.
"Momonga. We need to stop the technique. And fast or else people will die."
"How do you suggest we stop it, Onigumo?"
"Why don't we use our strongest technique with the strongest Haki on the black sphere and see if it is possible to stop it?"
"Let's do it. There is nothing to lose anyway." Doberman said.
With those thoughts in mind, they rode on the broken ships that were getting pulled towards the huge black sphere that seemed to be making a small ball-sized planet over it filled with water, land, and broken ships, including the human beings struck in the crevices.
They coated their hands with haki, and those who had Devil Fruit power used it too and attacked the ball with all their strength and went straight to the black ball of sphere. Just because it was Haki, the combined attack on the black sphere was successful and destroyed the collected piece of wet land on it.
But the combined attack of the Vice-Admirals didn't stop; after making a hole in the land as part of the planetary devastation, the attack reached the black sphere. At first, there was no response, but suddenly they heard a crack.
Everyone heard it, and after a few seconds, the things that had been pulled into the sphere slowly started falling off into the ocean. The gravitational pull had already disappeared, and the people who were sucking were also falling, albeit bloody, but alive nonetheless. The vice admirals had blood flowing from their hands and other parts of their bodies.
They were tired, heavily injured, and bloody all over after committing all of their energy to that one attack. The CP agents and the Straw Hats were still standing opposite each other, not moving, and looking at the horror from afar.
"You did a good job stopping the planetary devastation. But what about the second one?"
