Maser Cannon!
At the Hachinosu Harbor Battlefield, the flames of war and the smoke of gunpowder intertwined, and the stench of blood permeated the salty sea breeze, as if even the air itself had solidified into lead.
Jack Drought, who had been driven to the brink of death by Luffy and Ace, was no longer the massive Mammoth Form he once was. His eight-meter-tall body knelt on the broken Harbor floor.
The ivory was broken, the steel sheet was charred, and the dense fist marks and burn marks crisscrossed, as if each one was a mark etched by the Grim Reaper.
His chest heaved violently, each breath as labored as a broken bellows. His consciousness was so blurred it was almost extinguished, yet he still gripped the broken serrated dagger tightly, his knuckles white and the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
"I can't... give up..."
"The Beasts... cannot end here..."
Ace's footsteps pounded on the gravel, the firelight reflecting his cold gaze, his fists blazing with intense flames, the heat distorting the surrounding air.
"It's over, the Drought."
"Fire Fist!!"
The flames transformed into a roaring fire dragon, carrying an aura of destruction that could incinerate everything, and lunged at Jack's head!
"Don't even think about it!!"
The sky was suddenly cleaved in two by another crimson flame, and Jin transformed into Pteranodon, swooping down from the sky, its single wing flapping wildly, creating a whistling gale and Shockwave.
"The Pteranodon Imperial Flame!!"
"Shuashua--!"
Dozens of fire bullets infused with Armament Haki rained down like a storm, forcefully shattering Ace's Fire Fist in mid-air!
"Bang! Bang! Bang--!"
The explosion illuminated half the Harbor, and Ember's pterosaur body landed heavily, kneeling slightly to Jack.
Blood dripped from the severed wing, running down the scales and splashing onto the scorching rocks with a sizzling sound. His eyes no longer held composure; instead, they held a chilling resolve.
"Jack... hang in there!!"
This hoarse roar had long lost its former composure and pride, and was filled with suppressed anxiety and anger.
Flash blood, Kuina emerged from the shadows of the ruins, her crimson Wado Ichimonji gleaming coldly. "Wildfire... you can't escape."
On the other side, Luffy had already taken to the air, his fist covered in pink dragon scales poised to strike;
Ace's palm condensed into a ball of blazing white fire, the heat wave like a scorching sun devouring the air.
The three formed a triangular encirclement, completely trapping King and Jack amidst the Harbor ruins, their killing intent pressing down like a mountain!
Jin's pupils contracted sharply, the flames on his single wing expanded wildly, and his breathing became so rapid that he almost lost control.
In the distance, Kaido were bloodshot with rage, but he was firmly trapped by Kuzan's Frozen Domain.
Frost spread from the earth and air, completely locking down his range of movement, while attacks from his Fist Bone, each carrying icicles, forced him to defend himself time and again.
"Kaido... you're dead." Kuzan's voice was as cold as the deep sea.
"Fart!!"
Kaido's roar shattered the clouds, "I am... the World's Strongest Creature!!"
However, thunder suddenly roared in the sky! Enel's lightning fell from the heavens, like countless chains encircling Kaido's dragon body, the arcs of electricity scorching and curling the scales.
Kaido's heart sank, and he abruptly looked towards the Execution Platform—
Bound by Seastone chains, Hanafuda, tears streaming down her face, cried out hoarsely, "Brother... don't worry about me!!"
"Retreat!"
Execution Platform, the remains of the Flying Six lay scattered on the ground.
Ulti was forced back into human form, a gruesome wound splitting open on her forehead, blood blurring her vision, yet she still murmured hoarsely, "Father..."
Page One's Spinosaurus spine was broken. Kneeling amidst the rubble, his hands gripping the ground, he growled through gritted teeth, "Sister... I... can still fight..."
Foz-Foe, Sasaki, and Maria were already unconscious, while Drake lay in the shadows, blood trickling from his mouth, his breath faint...
Ace, Luffy, Kuina pounced on the heavily wounded King like hawks locking onto their prey. In just a few rounds, King was stabbed in the chest again, and blood splattered on the broken stone slabs.
Even so, he gritted his teeth, brandishing his sword, and stood guard in front of Jack, refusing to retreat an inch.
"Dragon Bone - Meteor!!"
Luffy seized the opening, and his Iron Fist, covered in pink dragon scales, slammed into King's chest with earth-shattering force!
"Puff!!"
Jhin's body was sent flying by the blow, and the flames burning on his single wing were suddenly extinguished.
With his last ounce of strength, Jack roared and leaped up to catch Ember's body.
"Boom!!"
The two, along with the rubble, fell into the pit below with a heavy thud, accompanied by a gush of blood. Both King and Jack's strength rapidly waned, and they were at their last gasp.
"Let's end this!"
Ace and Kuina Flash and appeared above the pit almost simultaneously, their killing intent pressing down like a tangible force.
Flames ignited in Ace's fist, and Kuina's Blood Moon blade shone like a venomous snake devouring souls.
"Fire Pillar!!"
"Blood Moon Style - Heart Piercer!!"
The torrent of fire and blood poured down, enough to turn the crater into Scorched Earth!
At this critical moment—
"Maser Cannon!!"
Maser Cannon that strikes a teammate
A deafening roar exploded from the sea outside the Harbor!
"Whoosh!!"
A high-density beam of light pierced the sky, accompanied by the crackling of lightning and the blazing heat of flames. The sword light condensed in the energy ring, like a divine Heavenly Punishment piercing through the sky!
"Boom!!"
The laser precisely intercepted the Combined Strike of the two, and the Shockwave of the explosion overturned half of the Harbor! Its momentum undiminished, the beam aimed straight for Ace's chest!
"What?!" Ace's pupils shrank dramatically.
Kuina slashed horizontally and retreated, a jolt running through her. "This power... could it be?!"
"Ace--!"
Luffy's figure flashed in front of Ace, his pink dragon scale-covered arms crossed to block!
"Bang!!"
The terrifying Impact instantly sent the two brothers flying, slamming them into the distant mountainside, sending debris and dust billowing into the sky!
On the sea, a Tart Ships is cutting through the waves!
The ship was wrecked, and the deck was covered with scorch marks and impact damage. Of the original three giant ships, only this one was still able to sail!
Above the ship, Charlotte Linlin stood atop Zeus, Napoleon's sword crackling with lightning, and Prometheus burning with intense flames that surged around her!
"Mamamama--!" Her laughter seemed to carry both anger and arrogance.
"You bastard Kaido, do you know how much I sacrificed to get here?!"
At the bow, Katakuri's arms transformed into glutinous spears, pointing straight ahead; Smoothie held a long sword; and Cracker's Biscuit warriors stood in groups on the deck!
A flicker of surprise flashed in Kaido's dragon eyes, which quickly transformed into overwhelming battle intent. "Perfect timing!!"
Kuzan's expression turned slightly cold as he exhaled a puff of white mist. "Oh dear... this is really troublesome."
Enel's golden staff crackled with lightning, and he sneered, "She's just an old woman... I might as well kill her too."
