Zunesha drew closer, its colossal form nearly matching the height of Wano itself. Those standing on Wano could see its eyes clearly.
Its vast, hollow eyes, now up close, revealed deep blue pupils. Everyone gazed upon the Zunesha's eyes.
A fear of gigantic creatures is innate in all living beings, the sight of a monster far larger than oneself evokes primal terror, especially when facing a mber of one's own kind.
Imagine a person standing 1.7 ters tall facing soone 1.9 ters tall, locking eyes, wouldn't they feel pressure?
In any world, among any race, size and weight are advantages.
It might take ten punches to break through soone's defenses, while the other only needs one to knock them out.
Such a vast disparity in size inevitably instills fear in those who are smaller.
As Zunesha approached Wano, the complex waters surrounding the country and the towering walls built around it seed minuscule in comparison.
"Please issue your command!!"
The Zunesha's voice reverberated. Momonosuke, Roy, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin all sensed it.
Those with Conqueror's Haki rarely have weak Observation Haki. They all heard the Zunesha's voice, though Momonosuke and Roy heard it most clearly, the others only perceived noise.
Zunesha was communicating with Momonosuke, while Roy eavesdropped like tapping into a Den Den Mushi.
According to ancient texts, humans in prehistoric tis didn't need speech to communicate.
Ancient humans possessed a highly advanced civilization and communicated through thought alone, without language.
Many scholars dismissed this as impossible, re myth.
So even treated these ancient texts as folklore.
But Roy had traveled across the world, studying countless ancient texts and ruins. Using his Observation Haki, he heard voices emanating from those ruins.
The ruins contained traces of ancient humans communicating through thought, even across the world.
He concluded that the Fish-Man Tribe and the Kozuki Family must have descended from ancient bloodlines. Only those with such ancestry occasionally exhibited ancient ancestal traits.
They could communicate with all things through heart-to-heart connection, without uttering a word.
This ability wasn't universal, only the kings of various races possessed it, a natural leadership trait.
Momonosuke issued his command, shouting to the Zunesha:
"Zunesha, open the borders!"
"As you wish!"
Without another word, the Zunesha swung its massive trunk. In the next mont, everyone felt an overwhelming force.
Even battle maniacs like Kaido and Whitebeard felt powerless against the Zunesha.
Roy narrowed his eyes. He sensed that, even if he faced it head-on, the Zunesha could likely crush him with a single blow.
Size is power. Weight is power. Being punched by soone weighing 50 kilograms is entirely different from being hit by soone weighing 100 kilograms.
And the Zunesha's weight was comparable to an island. Imagine being struck by an island, what would that feel like?
As the Zunesha's trunk swung toward them, everyone instinctively closed their eyes. Jack, in particular, broke into a cold sweat, recalling sothing.
Boom!
The trunk struck the outer walls of Wano. The massive walls, constructed by unknown ans, cracked under the impact.
With a single blow, the walls split. The Zunesha took two steps forward, adjusted its stance, and swung again.
The Minks living on the Zunesha's back felt violent tremors.
They resided on the Zunesha's body, and any attack or severe shaking caused earthquakes in their country. Fortunately, they were accustod to it, otherwise, such violent tremors would have destroyed everything.
Crash!
Another strike, and Wano's outer walls finally shattered completely. The entire country experienced two massive earthquakes before, with a deafening roar, the walls collapsed.
Freshwater burst through the broken barriers, pushing the debris out into the surrounding sea.
In an instant, Wano's geography changed. The once perilous waters cald, and Wano itself now stood as a towering mountain, revealing ancient ruins beneath.
Those standing on the shore stared in awe at the ancient land of Wano now unveiled before them.
Many wept tears of joy. After eight hundred years, Wano's borders were finally open.
Ignoring the emotional outpouring of the people, Roy imdiately headed to Pluton's location. With the seawater receding, Pluton was revealed to the world.
The massive Pluton, akin to the Ship of Promise Noah, was perfectly suited for soone like Charlotte Linlin.
"This couldn't be a ship for the Giants, could it?" Charlotte Linlin drooled at the sight of Pluton.
The legendary Pluton, unfortunately, it wasn't an offensive weapon.
Roy had already inspected Pluton. Made of Adam Wood and protected by bubbles, it should still be functional.
"Check the ship's condition," Roy ordered, raising his hand.
"Leave it to us," Queen, Caesar, and Vinsmoke Judge began studying Pluton eagerly. How could Roy let these experts go?
When the Whitebeard Pirates attacked Totto Land to rescue Ace, they also brought back the Vinsmoke Family and Caesar.
Now, tasked with researching Pluton, they couldn't wait to get started.
The forr MADS colleagues reunited, except for Vegapunk.
The three still had their skills. Roy watched them work. After bringing back the Mother Fla, they were full of praise for Vegapunk, admitting their inferiority, a rare sight.
After their research, they confird one thing: Pluton could launch an "egg" capable of creating an island.
Similar to Nami's Weather Eggs that generate storm clouds instantly, Pluton could compress and launch an egg into the sky, where it would expand into a sky island.
"An egg?"
Roy narrowed his eyes, thoughtful. He decided an experint was necessary, the best way was to fire Pluton once.
For him, opening Wano's borders was a minor matter. The people were already relocating to their original holand.
Roy's goal was Pluton. Now that he had it, testing it was essential to ensure it still worked.
Installing the Mother Fla into Pluton, the ancient ship roared to life with the provided energy. The machinery humd, absorbing seawater and gathering imnse power.
"Let's see if it's true. If it is, then that 'egg' is actually…" Roy stared intently at Pluton, he needed an answer.
