The Two Emperors Descend!
The timeline returns to the New World Ocean—the time when Sabo intercepted Big Mom's fleet.
Between the sea and the sky, smoke and Thunderclouds intertwined, and the waves rolled like dragons. Three enormous, egg-tart-shaped giant ships were teetering on the brink of collapse—the result of Sabo's relentless bombardment of the Floating Island's boulders.
The suspended island resembled the shattered skeleton of a giant beast, with rocks, broken towers, and collapsed bridges falling one after another, crashing into the sea and creating towering waves. Wood chips and ship planks mixed with blood flew up and down on the crests of the waves.
In the air, Charlotte Linlin stood on Zeus, but she could never catch up with Sabo's nimble, eagle-like figure, and her heart was filled with boiling frustration.
On the deck, Katakuri, Smoothie, and Cracker had already been forced to regroup from the three ships onto the Flagship, where the three stood back to back to defend against the attack that was coming from the sky.
"Mom! Kaido's side is about to collapse!!"
Katakuri's roar traveled through the Thunderclap and into the sky.
Upon hearing this, Linlin turned her head sharply. In the live broadcast's water screen, King's wings were severed and blood splattered everywhere. Kaido was punched into the ground by Kuzan, and frost and rubble submerged half of the Battlefield!
"This brat... is he here to stall us?!"
Her face was contorted in the lightning, burning with rage and murderous intent.
"Mamamama--!!!"
No longer entangled with Sabo, Linlin manipulated Zeus to suddenly rise into the air, pressing down directly above the Floating Island.
"Tenman Daijizaitenjin!!"
"Boom--!"
Zeus transformed into a towering Thundercloud, unleashing thousands upon thousands of lightning bolts. Each Inazuma possessed a spiritual quality, coiling around the island's supporting structure like mad serpents, blasting the entire island's foundation until it crumbled inch by inch.
High in the sky, Sabo saw the island shattering in his eyes. He took a deep breath, "Even if I can no longer stop you... I won't let you get away with this!"
He suddenly pressed down with both arms, unleashing the power of the Float-Float Fruit.
"Dragon's Might: The Grand Funeral of the Floating World!!"
The entire shattered Floating Island let out a dying roar, accompanied by towering winds and dust waves, and was violently hurled towards the Totto Land Fleet!
"You bastard!! Don't even think about it--!"
Linlin roared like thunder, turned around and swung Napoleon's longsword, which was infused with lightning and fire, and the tip of the blade was enveloped by the power of Zeus and Prometheus.
"Napoleon - Sky-Piercing Slash!!"
"Mochi-Mochi Impact!!"
"Squeeze and Slash the Waves!!"
"Biscuit Massive Collapse!!"
Four destructive forces intertwined in front of the Flagship, exploding into dazzling flames—the core of the Floating Island was shattered in mid-air!
However, the crowd was unable to attend to both sides!
"Boom--!"
The other two giant ships were completely undefended and were directly hit by the island debris. Their hulls were instantly shattered, their decks and hulls were torn apart by the tsunami, their burning masts were swallowed by the waves, and even their screams were drowned out by the giant waves!
The sea surged up, creating a wall of water hundreds of meters high that blocked out all view.
As the smoke and waves gradually dissipated, Linlin's Observation Haki was completely blank. Sabo's presence had vanished without a trace, leaving only floating wreckage and burning wood chips.
"That brat... he actually ran away?!"
"You bastard--!"
Her roar startled the seabirds into flight, and the Thunderclouds churned even more violently.
Katakuri gripped his Trident tightly and said in a deep voice, "Mother, we must support Kaido immediately!"
Linlin took a deep breath, her eyes as cold as knives. "Full speed ahead—target: Hachinosu!"
She turned and walked to the stern, behind her Zeus and Prometheus, their figures intertwined with thunder and fire, simultaneously surging.
"Maser Cannon!!"
The energy beam roared out, acting as a propulsion system at the stern. The Flagship accelerated rapidly, trailing towering water mist and flames, transforming into a behemoth enveloped in thunder and fire as it sped towards Hachinosu!
Back to Hachinosu--
The moment Big Mom appeared, Kaido roared and forced Kuzan back, his body falling back to the Harbor like a cannonball, blocking King and Jack's path.
The two "disasters" were already severely injured, their breaths so weak that they seemed ready to stop at any moment.
High in the sky, Zeus suspended Charlotte Linlin's enormous figure, the flames of Prometheus reflecting off her grotesque and twisted face, lightning and fire dancing around her.
"Hey Kaido! Are you getting old?! You've actually been driven to this state by the Marines?!"
Her voice was like thunder, causing the waves in the entire Harbor to explode.
"Shut up, you old hag!!"
Kaido's dragon eyes burned with raging fury, but a sinister grin spread across his lips. "Since you're here... don't just stand there and watch!!"
"Mamamama~!!"
Linlin laughed wildly, her longsword Napoleon, crackling with lightning. "Then let's crush these naval brats together!!"
"Boom!!"
The two Four Emperors stood side by side, their aura sweeping across the entire area like a storm, causing the sea to surge wildly.
On the other side of the Harbor, Yixiao finally had a free hand.
Having realized the advantage on the Battlefield, he had previously assisted Luo in rescuing soldiers whose lives were lost in the fighting.
With a heart full of righteousness, he was unwilling to make too many unnecessary sacrifices in this targeted war.
He walked slowly to Kuzan's side and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I just..."
"You didn't do anything wrong," Kuzan waved his hand, his tone still nonchalant, "It's just that that dragon... it's incredibly resilient."
Then, his eyes suddenly sharpened to the point of being icy. "Oh dear... this is really troublesome."
"Hmph, what are two old geezers?"
Enel's Golden Staff crackled with lightning, emitting a deafening crackling sound. "Just kill him!"
Frigid air, gravity, and lightning intertwined around the three, forming an invisible barrier that confronted the two Four Emperors of the Harbor from a distance.
At the same time, Ace and Luffy burst out from the billowing dust at the bottom of the mountain.
"Are you alright, Luffy?" Ace brushed the dust off his shoulder.
Luffy grinned, his dragon-scale-covered arms tightening slightly, his eyes still burning with fighting spirit.
"Not bad! But that old woman... she doesn't seem any weaker than Kaido!"
On the edge of the Battlefield, Sanji was covered in blood and breathing heavily.
"Hey, Usopp..."
Sanji lit a cigarette, squinted, and said, "A battle of this magnitude... can we even get involved?"
Usopp gripped his Sniper Rifle tightly, his arm trembling slightly, but his gaze was resolute. "Even if we can't win... we have to find a way to help!"
On the other side, Law heals Zoro's arm wound.
"Can you still fight, Moss Head?" Luo asked coldly.
Zoro's eyes were fixed on Kaido and Linlin in the sky, his three swords trembling simultaneously. "Nonsense... Of course!"
Kuina Wado Ichimonji flashed with blood-red light as Kuina said coldly, "Don't hold me back."
Zoro scoffed, "You're the one... Don't let me surpass you!"
"Boom!!"
Kaido's dragon eyes glowed blood-red, Haki swept across the entire area like a tsunami;
Linlin's Napoleon sword burst into flames, with lightning and fire rolling on its blade.
Two bursts of Conqueror's Haki erupted simultaneously, tearing the sky apart and creating towering waves on the sea!
Kaido roared, "Navy—today is your end!!"
Linlin laughed wildly, "Mamamama~! Hand over all your souls!!"
