The King Descends from the Sky

Totto Land Whole Cake Island

The sky suddenly churned, as if some invisible force had forcibly torn the dark clouds apart!

A sharp figure slowly emerged from the shattered sky and hovered in mid-air.

He wore a snow-white Marine Vice Admiral's coat, the hem Hunting Roar in the wind, the word "Justice" on the back seeming as glaring as if stained with blood.

Beneath his short, jet-black hair, his eyes were as dark as an abyss, seemingly capable of swallowing all light.

A lazy yet dangerous smile played on his lips, like Shura demon mocking death.

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

--Suddenly, a storm arose!

Charlotte Linlin abruptly stood up, her massive body crushing the Cotton Candy Throne, her pupils shrinking to pinpoints. "Roy...!!"

Katakuri's expression changed drastically, and his entire body was instantly covered in mochi armor, but his Observation Haki went completely out of control!

"Impossible...!! Why is he completely absent from the future I see?!"

Smoothie drew her longsword with a "whoosh," the power of the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit surging forth, cold sweat trickling down her cheeks:

"This sense of oppression... is even more terrifying than it was two years ago!"

Big News Morgans flapped his wings, cameras flashed wildly, and he was so excited he was almost incoherent:

"Big News Morgans! Big News Morgans!! That man is back!!"

Sanji looked up, his eyes widening instantly. "Vice Admiral Roy!!"

That shout was like a spark thrown into an oil drum, igniting panic throughout the venue! The wedding hall erupted in chaos!

"Vice Admiral Roy?! Impossible!! Wasn't he missing for two years?!"

"It's over... it's over!! Shura is back!!"

The wine glass in "Shipping King" Umit's hand shattered with a "crack," his hands trembling uncontrollably. "How... how could he be here?!"

"Loan Shark King" Du Feld cowered under the table, his teeth chattering. "Run!! This is Shura!!"

The shock of the crowd instantly turned into a tsunami of cheers.

Charlotte Linlin suppressed her trembling, her scarlet lips parted in a wild laugh, "MAMAMAMA~!"

"Wow, Roy actually came out!!"

Yet her massive body was trembling slightly, uncontrollably.

--Roy looked down, his dark gaze sweeping across the entire room, finally settling on the wedding stage, where Pudding was pointing her pistol at Sanji.

"Oh dear... what a perfect farce!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and tossed it away!

"Boom!!"

A massive, charred body was slammed onto the red carpet at Big Mom's feet!

Everyone stared intently, and immediately gasped in shock.

That's Big Mom's third son—Minister Charlotte Daifuku!

His body was charred black, and his body lay sprawled out like a tattered sack; he had already lost consciousness!

Roy squinted, his voice low and casual, yet it struck everyone like thunder:

"Linlin... it's no fun bullying the younger generation~"

"Clang!"

Pudding's pistol fell to the ground, shattering the deathly silence of the wedding.

The Third Eye widened instinctively with fear, its gaze filled with nothing but horror. "This is... the man even Mom feared?!"

Sanji seized the opportunity to take a step back, his chest heaving, and a renewed flame of hope rekindled in his eyes. "Mr. Roy...!!"

Roy met his gaze, nodded slightly, and then turned to Big Mom.

That languid smile carried a sharp edge, "You invited my subordinates to your Tea Party..."

"But you didn't send me an invitation?"

"That's so unfair, Linlin!!"

Charlotte Linlin's pupils suddenly contracted, her mind racing. "Damn it! I originally only planned to use the wedding to seize Germa's technology and combat suits, and then test the Navy's reaction."

"At most, we'll lose a major; the Navy won't turn against us..."

"But who could have imagined that this god of death would be drawn out directly?!"

Cold sweat broke out on her back, but her dignity as one of the Four Emperors prevented her from backing down.

She jerked her head back and roared, her voice echoing throughout the hall. "Roy!! This is my territory!! Don't think you can—"

Before the words were even finished!

"Boom--!"

A golden bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, illuminating the hall as if it were daytime!

Enel hovered in mid-air, his Golden Staff coiled with lightning, and sneered mockingly, "Old hag~ Who said he was alone?"

"Whoosh!!"

Flames fell like meteors, and a blazing white sea of fire rose instantly!

Ace, hands in his pockets, flames roaring and howling around him, grinned. "Dare to touch any of our Marines... you'll have to ask my flames first!!"

"ROOM!"

Space suddenly distorted, and Law and Usopp appeared beside Roy!

Law's hand rested on his longsword, his voice icy. "The Germa incident involves the safety of naval personnel..."

"The Navy has the right to intervene directly."

Despite his trembling legs, Usopp still held up his Sniper Rifle and shouted, "Let... let Sanji!!"

--The four men stood on either side of Roy, their imposing presence overwhelming!

The Underworld emperors were utterly speechless. "They're all here?!"

"Are we going to start a war with the Four Emperors here?!"

Charlotte's children were on high alert! And Linlin, who sat high on the Throne, finally turned completely grim.

"You... do you really intend to start a full-scale war on my territory?!"

Roy merely chuckled softly, a spatial ripple spreading from beneath his feet. "It's not war..."

"It's suppression."

"Boom!!"

Linlin could no longer suppress her anger!

Her body suddenly swelled, her hat "Napoleon" transformed into a giant sword, the Thundercloud "Zeus" turned into a surging black thunderball, and the flames "Prometheus" roared up!

"Roy!! You're too arrogant!!"

Charlotte Linlin roared, shaking the heavens, and suddenly soared into the air with the giant sword "Napoleon" in her hand, accompanied by the twin souls of thunder and fire, like a demon god devouring the sky.

Roy threw his head back and laughed, his black hair flying wildly, his eyes burning with overwhelming fighting spirit. "Come on, Linlin!!"

"Boom!!"

Two destructive forces collided violently in mid-air!

A blast of air, like a hurricane, swept through the entire wedding hall, and intense lightning and Impact tore through the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Guests screamed and scattered in all directions, the Underworld emperors panicked, and noblewomen and Pirates trampled over tables and chairs in their gowns—the scene was utter chaos!

In the center of the wedding hall, Pudding stood frozen in place, her three eyes wide open, her body stiff, unable to recover from the shock.

"H-How could this be...?!"

The next second, a deafening Shockwave overturned a ten-meter-tall giant cake sculpture inside the hall!

The colossal object tilted violently, crashing down on Pudding's head with a deafening cracking sound!

Pudding whirled around, her three eyes narrowing sharply, fear gripping her face. "No!!"

In that very instant!

A white figure swept in like the wind, suit jacket billowing and formal Hunting Roar in the blast!

"Pudding--!"

"Whoosh!"

Sanji reached out and, just as the giant cake crashed to the ground, scooped Pudding into his arms Pudding. With a Teleportation movement, he teleported away with her.

"Boom--!"

The giant cake shattered, splattering cream and frosting everywhere, creating a chaotic mess.

Pudding fell into Sanji's arms, her heart pounding, her three eyes wide with shock and confusion.

She looked up at the curly-browed man before her, her voice trembling, almost a murmur:

"Why... why did you save me?!"

Sanji, a cigarette dangling from his lips, had a calm and resolute gaze, yet his embrace around her was incredibly tender.

His voice was deep, yet it resonated clearly in Pudding's ears:

"Because...

A real man is one who can forgive a woman's lies!
