On the Deserted Island arena, as the last smoke dissipated, the ravaged ground bore witness to the cruelty and glory of this Martial Arts Tournament.

After three rounds of intense competition, only three people remained standing on the field.

"Chaton" Tokikake

"Momousagi" Gion

"Science Unit" Sentomaru

The naval soldiers in the stands were in high spirits, their cheers rising in waves!

In the center of the arena, Law and Roy appeared together, their spatial Teleportation combined with the power of the Op-Op Fruit, instantly healing all six injured Vice Admirals.

Blood, bruises, and fractures vanished in mere seconds, leaving only a body brimming with fighting spirit and the aura of war.

Sentomaru, carrying his Giant Axe, glanced at Tokikake and Gion, grinned, and said, "I surrender!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

"Sentomaru Vice Admiral?! Just give up?!"

"Are you kidding me? He's Sentomaru!!"

Sentomaru curled his lip, looking indifferent. "I'm completely convinced Tokikake the strength of Uncle Kake and Gion!"

I don't want to go up there and just get beaten up. I'll eat the fruit and become stronger before I fight back!

As he jumped off the ring, carrying his axe, he waved to the two men, saying, "Next time, I won't admit defeat!"

On stage, Kizaru, seeing this, said with a cheeky grin, "Oh dear~ Who did you imitate so much...?"

The other six people silently stared at Kizaru, causing his old face to turn slightly red and he to fall silent.

On the arena, Tokikake and Gion stood facing each other. The surrounding noise gradually subsided, leaving only the two of them staring at each other.

Gion, Tokikake his usual carefree attitude, said in a cheeky tone, "Gion ~ even if you accept my confession this time, I won't give up on that fruit!"

Gion's red lips curved slightly, and she slowly drew her Kompira, its blade gleaming coldly in the setting sun. "How long has it been since we... had a Headliners?"

Tokikake's smile slowly faded, his narrowed eyes gradually widening to reveal a sharp edge. "Yes... let me see just how strong 'Momousagi' really is now."

Gion's eyes also burned with fighting spirit, her sword pointed diagonally at the ground, her aura rising like Moonlight.

In the stands, the naval soldiers almost held their breath.

On the referee's stand, Sengoku, Zephyr, Garp leaned forward slightly, their eyes more serious than ever before.

These are the two Vice Admiral, besides those two monsters, whose strength is closest to that of Admiral!

--The final battle of the martial arts tournament: Tokikake vs. Gion!

"Clang--!"

The final bell tolled, the wind on the arena suddenly froze, and the next second—

"Whoosh!!"

Gion's figure vanished suddenly, leaving only a crack in the ground. Kompira, with its stunningly cold light, pierced the night like a new moon, aiming straight for Tokikake's throat!

"Call--"

Tokikake Ji's eyes narrowed, and his hands, as black as ink, instantly crossed in front of his neck!

"Shigan - Underworld Crossing!"

"Clang--!"

The clang of metal against metal was like thunder. The sword and the Shigan collided, creating a violent shockwave that sent the surrounding rocks flying several meters away!

Gion's sword strike was forcefully blocked, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Oh? Shigan can block my slash head-on?!"

Jia Ji's lips Tokikake a slight smile. "This is just the beginning; the surprises are yet to come..."

Gion did not respond. With a flick of her toes, her swordplay suddenly changed, and her figure floated like a phantom under the moonlight.

"One Sword Style · Hazy Moon!"

"Swish! Swish! Swish!!"

Several hazy sword energies intertwined on the arena, like silver Moonlight scattering in all directions, their angles unpredictable and elusive.

Tokikake a fierce counterattack and retreated, combining Six Powers in succession, leaving numerous afterimages as he dodged the sword energy like a ghost! Even so, a sword energy still managed to slash his cheek, drawing blood.

"Tsk... the swordsmanship is as deadly as ever."

He wiped away the blood, then suddenly lunged forward.

"Shave - Instant Shadow!"

"Bang--!"

Tokikake's figure suddenly split into more than ten afterimages, intersecting on the arena as Shigan rained down from all angles!

Gion's eyes shone like stars, Kompira in her hand transformed into a halo of light.

"Round Dance - Mirror Moon!"

"Ding--!"

Dozens of Shigan clashed wildly with the sword, sparks flying and air waves exploding. The soldiers in the stands could only see streaks of light and shadow, and hear the continuous booming of metal clashing!

"Life Returns - Hundred-Crack Palm!!"

With Tokikake furious roar, Jiaji slammed his palms together, his Armament Haki surging, the power of Life Return flowing through his body, and his aura instantly soaring!

"Boom--!"

Hundreds of palm shadows overlapped and erupted, crashing head-on into Gion's sword aura like a raging torrent, causing the blade of the Kompira sword to deflect slightly!

Gion leaped backward, her long black hair billowing, her eyes burning with fighting spirit. "Finally willing to use your true abilities?"

Tokikake grinned and chuckled, "After all, your opponent is you!"

The next moment, Gion took a deep breath, her fingertips trembling slightly, and the Kompira in her hand slowly returned to its sheath.

At that moment, her aura suddenly became extremely restrained, as if the world had fallen silent, leaving only her steady and deep breathing echoing on the arena.

On the referee's stand, Zephyr's expression hardened. "That move was..."

Tokikake's face darkened, he abruptly planted his legs firmly, crossed his arms in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Is it coming...?"

Gion's eyes suddenly snapped open, golden light bursting forth like thunder, her entire aura seemingly breaking free of its shackles, transforming into a roaring, soaring golden dragon!

"The One Sword Style Style--"

"Dragon Radiance Sky-Splitting Flash!!"

"Whoosh--!"

Gion's figure transformed into a golden Inazuma, and the sound of her sword suddenly exploded in the void, like the roar of ten thousand dragons!

That sword light, violent to the extreme, condensed into a golden dragon phantom, its head held high, whiskers flying, carrying a furious intent that could tear the heavens and earth apart, and crashed down on Tokikake!

"Boom--!"

A devastating Shockwave erupted from the center of the arena, cracking the ground inch by inch. Stone slabs within dozens of meters were blown away, and the violent sword energy transformed into a golden storm that swept in all directions.

The entire coastline of the island was whipped up by a tsunami tens of meters high by the shockwave, and a straight sword mark pierced the sky, as if the sky had been cleaved in two!

The naval soldiers watching from afar had their pupils contract, their hearts felt as if they had been pierced by an invisible sword, and they held their breath for a moment.

Smoke billowed, blurring visibility, but the audience could still hear the rapid, heavy breathing from the ring.

When the smoke cleared, Jiaji was Tokikake kneeling on one knee, his body covered in blood, but his hands were still tightly gripping the blade of Kompira!

A slight smile played on his lips, a smile tinged with stubbornness and resentment. "I almost... lost."

Gion breathed heavily, her breath carrying the stench of blood, her eyes gleaming with fighting spirit. "Are you going to admit defeat? Tokikake?"

Tokikake slowly shook his head, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp as blades. He caught the white blade with his two fingers together, and the Haki within him Impact wildly through the surrounding air like a boiling volcano, causing the stone slabs of the arena beneath his feet to crack and collapse!

The deep voice echoed like the tolling of a hellish bell:

"The Rokushiki Ogi - Final Form--"

"Underworld Funeral!!"

"Boom!!"

With a roar, the Shigan erupted violently, unleashing a Haki beam of light that resembled Meteor Fall!

The air was instantly scorched, leaving charred marks. The entire arena trembled violently, and a violent Shockwave sent countless fragments flying, hurtling straight towards Gion's heart!

Gion's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly drew her Kompira and slashed horizontally, unleashing her Armament Haki to forcefully block the devastating attack!

"Clang!! Rumble--!"

The Impact between the sword and the Shigan produced a Thunderclap Impact, and the terrifying recoil sent Gion flying dozens of meters away!

Upon landing, his clothes were completely Quake-Split, and blood splattered like a red lotus, causing his breathing to become erratic.

"Puff!"

She knelt on one knee, spitting out a mouthful of blood, yet still gripped the Kompira tightly, her eyes burning like flames. "Very well... Unfortunately, I haven't fallen yet."

Tokikake's figure swayed precariously, blood dripping from his fingertips, yet his smile remained arrogant, "Gion... this is a rare, extreme deathmatch!"

The two charged again, almost instinctively!

Swords and Shigan intertwined to create a storm of light and shadow, Haki Shockwave across the entire arena, Cut and scattering every stone slab. The Deserted Island trembled violently!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Gion's Kompira technique grew increasingly swift, like a raging dragon emerging from the abyss;

Tokikake's Shigan erupted with a metallic roar, its violent Haki tearing through the air and shocking the entire audience!

"Boom!!"

Two figures leaped high into the air, clashing head-on in mid-air!

Gion roared, "The final strike!!"

With Tokikake, Jia Ji shouted, "This is the moment to strike!!"

The sword and the Shigan collided in mid-air, and the instantaneous Impact was like a meteorite falling. The Haki intertwined to form visible Spatial Ripples, as if the entire island was about to be torn apart!

Just as Gion's swordplay was about to break through Tokikake's final defense and strike his vital point—

"Whoosh!!"

Roy appeared out of thin air, firmly striking Gion's sword with his palm. The void trembled, and the sword energy instantly dissipated!
