The Three Join Forces to Annihilate the Beast Tide
"Hehehehe...!!"
The Golden Lion's maniacal laughter echoed in the sky at an altitude of ten thousand meters, filled with an atmosphere of despair and madness.
However, his smile suddenly froze the next second.
Because Roy remained calmly suspended in the air, his face showing no sign of panic; in fact, his indifferent eyes even hinted at a trace of... pity?
"I know you're getting old..."
Roy's tone was detached, tinged with a slight sigh, "But I never imagined you'd have aged so much..."
The Golden Lion's face stiffened, his pupils trembled involuntarily, and his chest heaved violently, rendering him speechless for a moment.
Roy tilted his head slightly, looking down at the raging horde of giant beasts, and continued calmly:
Do you really think these so-called Rampaging Behemoths pose a threat to you and me?
Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion froze instantly, his lips trembling slightly. A bitter, self-mocking thought suddenly welled up from the depths of his heart:
"That's right... what do these so-called behemoth hordes mean to the strong?"
"I used to be able to destroy the world with a casual wave of my hand. These so-called monsters were nothing more than ant toys that I could crush with a flick of my wrist..."
"But now, I actually dare to think I can use them... to deal with this brat in front of me?!"
The Golden Lion's expression somber as he surveyed the horrific Battlefield beneath the island.
Indigo and Scarlet lay dead in pools of blood, ultimately unable to stop the white "Grim Reaper," their bodies torn apart by the raging horde of beasts.
The unleashed Rampaging Behemoths charged and trampled indiscriminately, failing to turn the tide of battle. They even trampled the remaining crew members of the Flying Pirates underfoot, leaving blood splattered and flesh flying everywhere.
Meanwhile, the New Generation of naval personnel at the Warship headquarters had already stabilized the situation.
Sanji's kicking technique is precise and swift;
Usopp, wielding Sniper Rifle, precisely targets and eliminates the giant beast's path;
Zoro and Kuina's sword energy crisscrossed, forming an unbreakable wall of steel that firmly kept the beast tide at bay!
The Battlefield was a scene of utter carnage, clearly demonstrating that the Flying Pirates' defeat was inevitable!
The light in the Golden Lion's eyes gradually dimmed, his face filled with bitterness and self-mockery.
"Once upon a time... I was also a man standing at the pinnacle of an era..."
Memories of the past flooded my mind like a tidal wave.
He recalled the world-shaking Battle of Edd War, where he single-handedly manipulated the heavens, unleashing a devastating storm to clash fiercely with the Pirate King Roger!
He recalled Roger's Marineford Haki when he single-handedly stormed Marine Headquarters after Roger surrendered!
He roared as he charged at Garp and Sengoku, his feet stomping through the sky, his sword cleaving through the clouds, reducing half of the Marine Headquarters to ruins!
Back then, he was full of vigor and looked down on the world!
And now...
What am I even doing...?
Shiki's gaze gradually became unfocused, and the old wound on the ship's rudder above his head throbbed with pain, as if mercilessly mocking his depravity and old age.
Times have changed, and this once-unrivaled Pirate legend, unaware of his surroundings, has gradually fallen into the abyss...
Warship Battlefield
"Boom--!"
A violent white plume of smoke roared in, carrying a violent shockwave that swept across the entire Battlefield before abruptly stopping at the forefront of the Warship's deck.
As the smoke cleared, Smoker stood upright, the Cigar in his mouth glowing with orange embers, wisps of smoke rising and scattering in the wind.
He coldly surveyed the ever-surging tide of beasts, his gaze as icy as ice.
"Rear Admiral Smoker!"
Beside her, Kuina's expression was grave, but her gaze was sharp as a knife. "Can you gather all these giant beasts together?"
Smoker paused for a moment, then a confident and arrogant smile spread across his face as he exhaled a smoke ring that dissipated instantly in the wind, "Of course!"
He took a sudden step forward, his arms suddenly spread open, and the Smoke around him surged and erupted like a monstrous wave!
"Smoke - Vortex Death Squad!!"
Rumble--!
The billowing Smoke quickly condensed into a huge Spiral with a diameter of over 100 meters, which began to spin wildly at an astonishing speed!
The ultra-high-speed airflow instantly generated a terrifying suction force that was so powerful that it was impossible to resist, dragging the surging horde of beasts into it!
"Roar--!"
"Awoo--!"
The Rampaging Behemoths struggled and roared frantically, but they could not break free from the terrifying rotating force. They were forcibly gathered and firmly locked in the center of the Spiral, forming a huge and twisted spherical "smoke cage"!
Zoro and Kuina exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other's intentions. They then stepped forward together, their blades flashing with dazzling light!
"Three-Sword Style: 1080 Pound Phoenix!!"
Zoro swung his three swords simultaneously, the sword light surging like a raging torrent, transforming into an overwhelming blue storm, like countless sharp blades slashing fiercely at the smoke cage!
"Shimotsuki Style · Thousand-Crane Snow Dance!!"
Kuina's Wado Ichimonji unleashed countless sword energies that fluttered like snow cranes, the sky filled with a dazzling array of silvery-white sword light, sharp and deadly!
The two sword techniques intertwined and overlapped, forming a terrifying offensive that could destroy the heavens and the earth, Impact on the giant beasts trapped in the cage!
At that moment, Smoker's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he clenched his fist abruptly.
"Burst!!"
The next moment--
Rumble--!
The massive smoke cage suddenly collapsed rapidly towards its center, compressing the high-density Smoke to its limit in an instant, triggering a deafening and violent explosion!
The Shockwave from the explosion intertwined and merged with the violent storm formed by the two sword energies, instantly Strangulation and tearing apart all the giant beasts trapped within!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, scales and armor splattered, and severed limbs exploded out like a storm, only to be shredded into dust by the subsequent surging sword energy and completely annihilated at the center of the explosion!
As the smoke cleared, the stench of blood was swept away by the strong sea breeze.
The once overwhelming and rampaging army of giant beasts is now reduced to a pile of charred remains, silently covering the island's ground.
On the Warship, all the naval soldiers stared in disbelief at the scene before them. After a brief silence, they suddenly erupted into Thunderclap, deafening cheer!
"Rear Admiral Smoker!!"
"Colonel Zoro!!"
"Colonel Kuina!!"
Usopp slumped onto the watchtower, his body going limp. He wiped the cold sweat from his brow and stammered, his voice trembling:
"This is... this is outrageous... Is this their true strength?!"
Sanji's lips twitched slightly as he smoked a cigarette. Unusually, he didn't mock Zoro, but instead muttered to himself, "These guys, they're all like monsters..."
As the smoke dissipated, Smoker slowly gathered the billowing Smoke and calmly exhaled a breath of stale air. "All done."
Zoro sheathed his sword with a relaxed expression, a satisfied smile playing on his lips, "Hmm... not bad."
Kuina flicked her blade lightly, her clear, icy gaze returning to the sky thousands of meters above.
