At that moment, Roja appeared silently beside Ain.

He gently placed his hand on her shoulder, the warmth of his touch immediately infusing her with a sense of calm and renewed strength. Ain turned to look at him, her eyes meeting his resolute gaze. In a soft voice, she murmured,

"Lord Roja..."

"You've done well. Leave the rest to me," Roja said, his tone steady and unwavering, as though the colossal threat of Noah's Ark was of no consequence to him.

"But..." Ain began, concern evident in her voice.

"No buts. This is an order," Roja interrupted firmly. Turning his attention to the rapidly descending Noah's Ark, he added, "Besides, it's just a ship."

On Fish-Man Island

After the chaos of the earlier battle, a brief calm had returned. But as the residents began cleaning up and assessing the damage, panic erupted once more.

Noah's Ark had begun to rise ominously into the sky.

One person noticed, then another, and soon the entire island was abuzz with fear and dread.

"Look! Over there! What's that?"

"It's... a ship?! But it's massive!"

"That's Noah's Ark! Why is it rising?"

"Is this Vander Decken IX's doing?"

"Is he trying to destroy Fish-Man Island?!"

"Madman! He's a madman!"

The fear rippled through the crowd. Their faces paled as they stared, frozen in terror, at the enormous vessel looming larger with every second.

King Neptune, standing with his advisors, had already seen the impending disaster. His heart sank like a stone, his thoughts spiraling into despair.

"This... this could destroy the entire island," he muttered, gripping his trident tightly. "Roja is our only hope now."

Beneath Noah's Ark

Just as the people were consumed by hopelessness, a brilliant white light erupted beneath Noah's Ark.

The light swirled, rising into the sky, and began to take form. It solidified into a towering, armored figure with broad wings and a commanding presence. The translucent white gave it an ethereal and holy aura, while its size and stature exuded overwhelming power.

The crowd was stunned.

"What is that?"

"Another monster? Is it going to destroy the island too?"

"No, wait! That's not an enemy..."

Roja's voice echoed from below, calm and composed:

"Phantom Fruit: Susanoo—White Dove!"

With a motion of his hand, Susanoo's ethereal armor darkened as it became enveloped in a layer of Armament Haki. The sheer scale and intensity of the Haki stunned even the most seasoned warriors watching from a distance.

Roja stood firmly in the center of Susanoo's forehead, his arms folded as he assessed the descending ark. With a single leap, Susanoo propelled itself upward, positioning directly beneath the massive ship.

"Finger Gun—Ten Fingers: Yellow Lotus!"

Susanoo's hands, radiating immense power, struck out repeatedly. Each blow pierced through the Ark's colossal frame like a hot knife through butter. Shards of wood and debris scattered as the once-mighty vessel crumbled under the relentless assault.

In the plaza below, awe spread like wildfire.

"Is this the power of Admiral Bai Ge?!"

"It's beyond anything I've ever seen!"

"With Admiral Bai Ge here, we're safe!"

Even King Neptune couldn't hide his astonishment. "This man... his strength surpasses imagination," he muttered, his grip on his trident loosening as hope returned to his heart.

Ain, watching from below, felt her admiration for Roja grow. Her eyes sparkled with a mix of awe and reverence.

"Master Roja... you're incredible," she whispered.

Despite Susanoo's overwhelming power, Noah's Ark was massive. Even after several minutes of relentless attacks, the ship was still intact. Realizing the need for a decisive move, Roja retreated slightly, inhaling deeply as his fists clenched tightly.

"Life Return—Ultimate Technique: Six Kings Spear!"

Susanoo's hands gathered an enormous shockwave, the energy radiating outward in an unstoppable force.

The shockwave burst forth, piercing through Noah's Ark like a drill. The ship exploded into countless fragments, the impact scattering debris far and wide.

The crowd below watched in stunned silence as the once-mighty Ark disintegrated into nothingness.

Roja stood amidst the remains, his expression calm as he surveyed the results of his attack.

System Notification

As the dust settled, a familiar voice echoed in Roja's mind:

[Ding! Noah's Ark has been completely destroyed by the host. As promised, the inheritance has been granted. New task issued: ensure the freedom of Fish-Men and merfolk on the mainland. Reward upon completion: The Ancient Weapon Uranus!]

Roja's eyes widened slightly at the mention of Uranus, one of the three Ancient Weapons.

"Uranus..." he muttered, the weight of the revelation sinking in.

With Pluton's blueprints likely still with Tom and Poseidon already within his grasp thanks to Shirahoshi, gaining Uranus would mean possessing all three Ancient Weapons.

At the Mermaid Cafe

Meanwhile, in the quiet Mermaid Cafe, a mysterious figure observed the events unfolding on a crystal ball.

The mermaid, her short black hair framing her pale face, exhaled slowly from her pipe. Her cold blue eyes narrowed as she gazed at the screen, her expression unreadable.

"Interesting... Very interesting," she murmured, her voice laced with intrigue.
