The King of the Beasts Brought Down with One Punch!
Wano Country: Above the Thunderclouds
Thunderclouds rolled, and Thunderclap and dragon's cry mingled.
Just as the battle began in Marineford, Roy had already arrived at the Wano Country Battlefield, hovering above the Thunderclouds and looking down at the Purgatory Battlefield below.
Enel's Thunder God form roared, and tens of millions of volts of lightning transformed into a thunder dragon, tearing at the sky alongside Kaido's Azure Dragon Flame Cloud!
With a laugh, his hair and beard flew wildly, he raised his Cane Sword, and the gravity was like the sea, causing meteors to fall one after another, forcefully suppressing Kaido's fiery cloud!
Zoro wields Enma, his black and red Haki severing Jin's black wings, the demon sword emitting a bloodthirsty hum!
Kuina's sword flashed like a crimson Inazuma, precisely slicing through Queen's mechanical arm, scattering steel debris everywhere!
Ace, engulfed in flames, stood shoulder to shoulder with Drake's Dragon Claw, leading the Navy Elite to hold back the Beasts Pirates' onslaught while desperately protecting the last chance of survival for the civilians!
This Battlefield has long since turned into hell!
Roy looked down, his gaze sweeping across the Projection Den Den Mushi in his hand—on the other end, the image of Marineford was also filled with carnage!
When he saw Buggy use the Chop-Chop Fruit to clash head-on with Luffy's Mythical Zoan Form, he raised an eyebrow slightly:
"Conqueror's Haki's Haki? Ha, so you've been hiding it all along."
His gaze swept over Kizaru and Redfield's aerial maneuvering, and he chuckled, "Uncle Kizaru's still slacking off... Oh well, consider it a backup plan."
When he saw Shanks and Sakazuki locked in a fierce battle, his eyes suddenly turned cold:
"Shanks... Is Roger's will truly worth risking everything for?"
"Since you dare to come again, then don't even think about going back."
Roy slowly raised his Right Hand, and the Death Omen Star appeared in his palm.
The pitch-black gun barrel was like an abyss that swallowed light, its cold muzzle pointed at Marineford, thousands of miles away.
"The mark on the Mark-Mark Fruit... I haven't removed it yet."
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang--!"
Twenty consecutive gunshots ripped through the sky, the Death Omen Star emptied its magazine instantly, and the Thunderclouds were shattered into cracks!
Twenty bullets, wrapped in a dark red and Conqueror's Haki, burst from the barrel, their trajectories slicing through the void!
However, the bullet vanished the instant it flew out, swallowed by Spatial Ripples, as if it had evaporated into thin air!
"I hope you like this gift from overseas."
The gunshot from Death Omen Star Quake-Split the sky, even drowning out the Thunderclap!
The rhythm of Enel and Issho's battle against Kaido froze instantly, and the lightning and meteors in the sky flickered as if in a daze.
The next moment--
A roar that shattered the heavens!
Kaido's eyes widened in fury, and his massive Azure Dragon Form suddenly shrank back, transforming into Human-Beast Form!
Azure Dragon scales covered its entire body, its bones cracking and popping. The "Hassaikai" flashed with black and red lightning, and it charged straight at Roy with the force of a cataclysmic event!
"Roy!!"
"Thunder Bagua!!"
The Kanabo ripped through the clouds like a shooting star, and the air seemed to groan in despair!
Roy's gaze was cold, but a slight smile played at the corners of his lips.
The Death Omen Star disappeared silently into the Spatial Ripples.
He slowly pulled his right arm back, compressing his Haki wildly. Black and red electric arcs and the devouring vortex of the Dark-Dark Fruit converged around his fist to form a dazzling cross-shaped Cross-shaped Star!
Space was violently distorted, as if even the sky was about to be torn apart by this punch!
"Kaido... don't rush."
"Dark Star: Universal Impact!!"
"Boom--!"
The moment the fist collided with the Kanabo, the sky exploded completely!
Black and red Conqueror's Haki spread like a spider web, and Inazuma and Shockwaves swept across the heavens and earth!
A ring-shaped Shockwave exploded from high above, instantly clearing the clouds over the entire Wano Country, and the blazing sun shone directly on the Battlefield!
"Buzz--!"
A terrifying, Haki pressure descended like a mountain!
On the Battlefield, tens of thousands of Beasts Pirates members collapsed, their eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth!
Even as the Navy Elites fell one after another, only a few managed to kneel on one knee, cold sweat beading on their foreheads, gritting their teeth and holding on!
Flames burned behind Ace as he desperately protected Tama beside him.
The little girl peeked out, trembling, and looked up at the sky through the gaps in the flames.
Roy's Iron Fist shattered Kaido's Thunder Bagua with overwhelming force, slamming into his chest!
"Snap--!"
The sound of the sternum shattering was deafening!
Before Kaido utter his roar, he spewed out a cloud of blood mist and was blasted down onto Onigashima like a meteor!
"Boom--!"
The distant main peak of Onigashima was pierced through in an instant, the mountains collapsed, and smoke and dust rose into the sky!
The entire Battlefield fell into dead silence.
Tama's eyes widened, her little hands gripping Ace's clothes tightly, her voice trembling as she murmured, "That person... sent Kaido flying with a single punch?!"
Ace gazed at the sky, flames churning deep within his pupils, yet a broad, joyful smile spread across his lips, "Ah... that's our Brother Roy."
"The Navy's strongest monster!!"
The sky was deathly silent; even the Thunderclap seemed to have been shattered.
King, whose wing was severed by Zoro, and Queen, whose mechanical arm was destroyed by Kuina, Beasts both stunned, their pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
They couldn't believe it— Kaido, that invincible monster, had Onigashima shattered by Roy's single punch!
"This... this is impossible..." Queen's apple bobbed, cold sweat streamed down his face, and his complexion turned deathly pale.
Jin gritted his teeth, his tattered black wings trembling, fear rising in his heart. "Is this... Roy's power?"
At that very moment--
"Snap!!"
A dazzling bolt of lightning exploded on the distant horizon!
Immediately following, a roar like a tsunami thundered in, "Indra!!"
Dark lightning coalesced into a divine whip, traversing the sky and striking directly at Roy!
Roy remained unmoved, merely turning his head slightly and waving his hand.
"Smack!"
The lightning was shattered like glass, turning into countless fragments of light that scattered into the void.
He turned his head indifferently, gazing into the distance, where sea mist rose—
Dozens of Pirate ships are cutting through the waves, their black flags fluttering, and lightning and flames clashing between the fleet!
Roy's eyes sharpened, a cold smile playing on his lips, "So you're all here. Saves me the trouble of searching for you one by one..."
At the bow of the fleet, Charlotte Linlin, standing atop Zeus, her long hair whipping wildly, roared with thunderous laughter, "Kaido!! You've been defeated just like that?!"
As soon as the words fell—
"Boom--!"
The ruins of Onigashima exploded with a deafening roar, sending plumes of smoke and dust billowing into the sky like a mushroom cloud!
A burly figure staggered out, deep fist wounds still visible on his chest, blood still wet!
Kaido roared to the sky, carrying a giant wine jar in his hand and taking large gulps of wine, which spilled onto the ground along his fangs and beard!
"You damned old hag... stop yelling!"
"Gurgle--burp!!"
The wine jar shattered on the ground, splashing strong liquor everywhere!
Kaido's chest heaved violently, his Azure Dragon scales gleaming with a dark red light! His eyes, in his Human-Beast Form, were blood-red, a mixture of drunkenness and Haki, making him seem like a walking calamity!
"Drunken Dragon Bagua - Berserk Form!!"
Kaido roared, and the shockwave swept away the ruins like a hurricane!
Seeing this, Linlin laughed wildly, and Zeus transformed into Thundercloud, carrying her straight upwards. "MAMAMAMAMA--!"
"Kaido! Let's take down Roy together! This world will be ours!!"
Kaido roared and swung his Kanabo, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Roy: "Roy--!"
In the next instant, the auras of the Two Emperors intertwined with a deafening roar, and black lightning and crimson flames converged into a destructive tornado that hurtled straight up into the sky!
Deep within the ruins, Yamato, covered in dust, struggled to his feet from the rubble.
She looked up and saw her father and Linlin's Combined Strike, powerful enough to make an army despair, tearing through the sky!
However, that man—
Yet he still stood alone amidst the Thunderclouds, his back as cold and aloof as a mountain.
Yamato's breathing quickened, his eyes trembled, and he murmured softly:
"This is... Roy?!"
