Three Kings Face Off
Warship deck
"ROOM--!!!"
A blue light membrane, resembling a celestial canopy, burst open from the sky, instantly covering the entire warship.
Trafalgar Law appeared out of nowhere, his eyes gleaming with a cold and resolute light.
He charged straight to Zoro and Luffy's side, clasped his hands together, and the power of the Op-Op Fruit flowed through his body like a pulsation of light!
"ROOM - Emergency Healing!!"
Buzz!!
Energy surged between Luo's palms, and a blue light blade, refined to the cellular level, swept out, precisely Zoro and Luffy's chest cavities.
Luffy's collapsed sternum rapidly recovered, the internal bleeding was absorbed and reorganized, and the neural connections were reconnected!
In just a few seconds, the still stiff and tense body suddenly trembled slightly.
"Hmm..."
Luffy finally relaxed, all his strength dissipated, his eyelids closed heavily, and he completely lost consciousness.
"... He held on for too long," Luo murmured, "But... thankfully, he can still make it."
But on the other side--
Zoro, however, was on the verge of death.
The moment Luo lowered his head, his pupils suddenly contracted!
His abdominal cavity was almost burned through, his blood was boiling and burning, his internal organs were charred extensively, and his nervous system was on the verge of being disconnected!
"Damn it." Luo gritted his teeth, cold sweat quickly beading on his forehead.
"We must act now, otherwise... even God can't save them."
"Hemostasis -- Suturing -- Tendon Remodeling -- Nerve Reconnection --!"
Law gritted his teeth, fully activating the power of the Op-Op Fruit, beads of sweat forming on his forehead!
He rapidly recited the sequence of spells while precisely manipulating every inch of the organizational structure within the ROOM space!
The blue Scalpel dances nimbly, replacing the operating table to complete the reconstruction at the microscopic level.
The medic standing nearby looked horrified but dared not ask any questions, only quickly responding, "Activation Agent--!"
"Anti-inflammatory Injection No. 3 - Intravenous Line!"
Plasma injection, tissue assembly, nerve jump!
In the liminal space between life and death, Zoro's chest suddenly trembled violently—
"Cough--!"
A mouthful of stagnant blood gushed out, staining the deck red!
The next second, his fingertips trembled slightly, his brows furrowed, and his breathing finally became slow and regular!
"He... he's breathing again!!"
"Restore spontaneous heartbeat!!"
--The entire Warship seemed to be cleansed by the released tension at that moment!
Kuina froze for two seconds, then couldn't hold back any longer and pounced on Zoro!
She hugged him tightly, her voice trembling so much she could barely utter a complete sentence:
"You... idiot... why are you working so hard...?"
"You clearly said you would join me... to shatter the fate of this world...!"
Tears streamed down Zoro's face, soaking his shoulder.
She pressed her forehead against his chest, trying to feel his faint but real heartbeat.
--She finally stopped worrying and carried the vow to "survive" alone.
High in the sky, Roy, draped in a cloak, stood quietly.
Thunderclouds rolled and war drums boomed, but his thoughts remained fixed on the warship.
Sensing Luffy's peaceful sleep, Zoro's restored breathing, and Kuina's tearful yet joyful expression—
He gently closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"You're still alive... that's good."
Even now, he is about to face Whitebeard, Kaido, and countless other enemies.
But in that instant, the deepest weight in his heart was quietly lifted.
Before he could even turn around, a thunderous roar exploded from the other side of the sea!
On the other side of the sea - Moby Dick
Just as they caught their breath on the Warship—
"Boom--!"
A roar, as if struck by a thunderous drum, suddenly erupted from the other side of the distant sea!
Seabirds across the entire sea took flight in alarm, their fighting spirit surging like a tide!
"That damn Marine!! How dare he touch Captain Marco!!"
Jozu roared, his fists bulging with muscles and veins, and he stomped on the deck, shattering it!
"Bomb that Warship!!"
Vista's expression was cold and stern, his twin swords drawn, their cold gleam flashing.
Thatch's face was grim, and anger burned in his eyes!
"Full power!! Fire!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Dozens of massive cannons on the broadside of the Moby Dick roared simultaneously, their firelight illuminating half the sea and sky!
Hundreds of shells, trailing blazing Flame Line, rained down on the Warship like a comet shower!
It seemed they were about to annihilate Roy and the others in one fell swoop!
The air seemed to freeze, and a huge shadow covered the entire deck.
Kuina looked up at the sky, her eyes widened, and she cried out in alarm, "Cannonball--!?"
Enel.
"Exist!"
"Protect the Warships."
Enel immediately stepped forward, his form Lightning Transformation Thunder Snakes, coiled around him. "Understood!!"
The next second--
"Whoosh--!"
Roy raised his Right Hand slightly, his fingertips twirling, and an irregular, distorted array of light instantly spread out from him!
A tremendous sound shook the very air!
The entire Warship, along with Enel in the air, vanished without a trace in an instant!!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
The sea was instantly torn apart by the barrage of artillery fire, flames shot into the sky, and deep craters were blasted into the waves, forming huge columns of air!
But when the smoke cleared, the Marine warship that should have been sunk had vanished without a trace!
Calm waters several nautical miles away
Spatial Ripple.
The Warship reappeared steadily on the water, everything seemed normal, but everyone was still shaken.
The medic collapsed to the ground, Kuina gasped for breath, Enel half-squatted on the deck, and Thunder was compressed into his palm in a state of alert.
On the deck of the Moby Dick--
Everyone stood there, stunned.
"The entire Warship... was... moved away by him?!"
"A space-type ability user... Damn it!!"
Jozu gritted his teeth, Thatch glared angrily, Vista sneered, "Don't you dare run away!!"
However, high in the sky, the figure remained motionless, not even glancing back at them.
He stood in the sky where Thunderclouds met the rising sun, his gaze piercing through the smoke and waves, locking onto the very center of the Deserted Island war zone—
At this moment, Whitebeard knelt on the ground, supporting the heavily injured Marco with one hand, his gaze as cold as iron.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief upon noticing that Marco was still slowly recovering, but when he looked up, his eyes were filled with a cold glint. "A brat from the Navy... he's got some nerve."
In the distance, amidst the ruins, Kaido, covered in flames and charred ashes, emerged from the broken walls.
Dragon eyes, crimson, lock onto Roy in mid-air!
"Warorororo--! Roy!!"
"That little devil who'd been hiding his head and tail, finally dared to show himself?!"
The storm surged, its Haki as overwhelming as the waves!
But Roy simply descended slowly, standing in mid-air, his eyes eerily calm. "Whitebeard, Kaido..."
"You dared to attack the navy, you should know the consequences..."
--A single, indifferent sentence, yet it instantly froze the atmosphere on the Battlefield.
Whitebeard, enraged, laughed instead, and with a flick of his Naginata, created a burst of energy!
"Gurara~ Who do you think you're talking to, you little navy brat?!"
Kaido, enraged beyond measure, unleashed his Hassaikai, entwined with black lightning, and erupted into a furious attack!
"Arrogant!! Thunder Bagua --!""
The Hassaikai swept across the sky, the air pressure was like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting!
--But before the blow landed, Roy's right fist was already raised high.
A ring of black, Haki, like lightning, coiled around his fist, the Haki compressed to its extreme!
"Fist Bone - Conqueror's Coating - Collapse!!"
"Boom!!"
The black lightning exploded with a deafening metallic clang!
Iron Fist and Kanabo clash head-on!
Kaido's pupils dilated violently, and with a roar, he was knocked back by a punch, crashing into the ground along with his staff, creating a dust wave dozens of meters high!
The entire venue fell into dead silence.
The Whitebeard squinted, his expression unusually grave.
Roy slowly lowered his head, surveying the Battlefield, and uttered a chilling whisper:
"I'm doing this now--"
"I'm in a really bad mood."
