This was all too strange.
Makima herself was in Alabasta's capital, and only had some prisoners that didn't really matter, yet she had still hurt Aatrox in that instant.
This was the first time Aatrox had been hurt in this fight!
If they hadn't seen it happen, they wouldn't have believed it.
Aatrox's power had seemed so strong before, but now Makima hurt him from so far away. Did that mean she could do the same to them if she wanted to?
This was terrifying...
The people at the heart of the battlefield, in Yuba, were also shocked. They saw Aatrox, who had been unleashing strong attacks, suddenly get hurt, with a lot of his flesh torn away.
"What... happened?!"
Roger was stunned.
"You don't need to guess, it was that woman's doing. Those four sisters love to plot and scheme," Aatrox said, his voice full of scorn. "But it doesn't matter. Plots are for the weak."
He swung his huge sword hard. This swing wasn't aimed at Roger, or anyone in Yuba.
This attack, swung with the huge sword, went straight towards the northeast, towards Alabasta's capital, Alabana.
Boom!
In an instant, even the sky was cut open. The thick clouds were like land that had been plowed. The huge power rushed into the distance, full of wild destruction.
The people in Alabana felt a strong pressure. Even before the power got close, they couldn't help but kneel on the ground, as if they were carrying a huge weight. Some even had blood coming from their noses.
"What... what's happening?!"
Even the king was almost unable to breathe under the pressure. In all of Alabana, perhaps only Makima could stand safely.
Makima didn't answer the king's question. At this moment, she was giving it her all.
A ring of flesh appeared above her head. Inside the flesh ring, it seemed like something was there. Countless chains stretched out from her navel, reaching into the flesh ring.
From that ring came the sun and thunderclouds, and a long sword appeared. It was Makima's versions of Prometheus, Zeus, and Napoleon. She put her power into them, and the three powers merged.

Boom!
She swung the sword down with all her strength, releasing a powerful force. At this time, the sword energy released by Aatrox had reached outside Alabana, and people could see the clouds being cut open.
At that moment, the two forces collided outside Alabana. There was a loud bang, and a huge mushroom cloud rose up. Before, the clouds had only been cut open, but now they were blasted apart!
Cosmic rays reached the surface of the world, and the sunlight shone on the land, making the dark world clear. The huge power collision made the whole of Alabana shake as if there was a major earthquake.
People ran away in panic. After Makima released her power, the pressure on them was much lighter, so they could fully show their fear and helplessness.
Then, the power collision was over.
Aatrox was strong, but it was clear that over such a long distance, probably hundreds of kilometers, even the strongest power would weaken a lot.
After Makima blocked this attack, she suddenly disappeared again.
In Yuba...
Roger didn't react when Aatrox released his attack. By the time he realized what Aatrox had done, it was too late. Aatrox had already swung the sword.
What was in that place?
He didn't know, but he couldn't let the enemy easily do what they wanted.
Roger was about to attack Aatrox, but then many strange things happened again.
Many mice suddenly ran out from around the pyramid. The mice piled up, as if forming a human shape. The next moment, Makima appeared inside them!
!
Everyone there stared in disbelief at the suddenly appearing Makima.
How did she get here?
Was she the target of Aatrox's attack?
"At this final moment, won't you show yourself?"
Makima stood in front of the pyramid, looking at Aatrox with his back to the pyramid, and said softly, "If a demon leader destroys this place, it shouldn't be good for you, right?"
?!
Who...
Who was she talking to?
Roger frowned and spread out his Observation Haki. At that moment, he was suddenly stunned, because he saw something suddenly appear in his hand.
It was a green pyramid?!
? What was this?
The moment this question appeared, the answer also came to mind.
The function of this green pyramid was captured by his Observation Haki. His pupils shrank, and he looked at Makima.
Makima didn't change her expression. She also saw the green pyramid in Roger's hand.
"Are you putting your hope on a seriously injured person?"
She suddenly laughed softly, "Well then, if this is your choice... I'm happy to see it happen."
After saying that, she suddenly disappeared again?!
Suddenly appearing and suddenly disappearing, Makima's actions were confusing. Aatrox seemed to know her, but didn't say anything to her when she arrived, and Makima didn't say anything to Aatrox either.
It was as if Makima wasn't here to deal with Aatrox, but to talk to that unknown person.
Clearly, that person didn't give the green pyramid to Makima, but instead sent it to Roger's hand.
Roger didn't know who that was, but Dragon, Garp, and Tsuru knew. It was the gatekeeper of hell, Kuchiki Byakuya. Did Makima seem to know him?
The things that happened thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago were confusing, but in any case, Roger now knew what he had to do.
He looked at Aatrox, and Aatrox was also looking at him.
"Key to Hell... I see," Aatrox said softly at this time. "Is this your plan? To seal me in the gap between worlds? Not a bad idea. This must be the idea of that 'Control' woman, right?"
"I don't know who Control is, but this is the method Makima came up with," Roger said coldly.
"Come on, this is the final battle!"
