Clash

In the air.

Just as Ah Yin was trying to find the source of the sound, a whip kick slammed into his face.

"Bang!"

In an instant, he was kicked from the air and flew back the way he came, smashing dozens of his men in the process, leaving them with bloodied heads.

"Was that... Mr. Gin?"

Some people turned back in disbelief, looking at the figure that had seemingly flown away to who-knows-where.

"How is that possible? Mr. Gintoki is Super Great Pirate with Bounty of nearly 1 billion. It's impossible for him to be sent flying with a single blow..."

Some of them still have a lucky mentality.

"You're probably not mistaken, that in the sky is... the legendary 'Thor' Enel?!"

The sharp-eyed pirates immediately recognized the upper-body man in the sky and grabbed all sorts of weapons from the side.

"Yay~ Hahahaha~ Fools, are you ready to face God punishment?"

Enel laughed loudly, sitting in the void as if he were in an invisible chair.

"Our Cross Guild is an organization that targets the Navy. We should be allies with Las Noches!"

A pirate shouted, trembling, trying to bridge the gap between the two.

"Stop patting yourselves on the back! What kind of crooked Cross Guild does it think it can stand with the adults of Las Noches!"

Enel didn't say anything, but Mr. 3's subordinates on the ship couldn't take it anymore.

They've only managed to get a tiny bit of influence from Las Noches, how could they possibly tolerate being trampled on by an organization formed by just two Shichibukai?

"Superior!"

The people on the ship rushed off, brandishing their weapons and charging toward the island.

"Hateful..."

The battle between the two sides then began, and blood splattered everywhere, with flesh and blood flying all over the place.

"Are you kidding me... It was just one strike, and I almost lost consciousness just now?!"

Ah Yin finally crawled out of a pile of rubble, shaking her head, her vision still seemingly filled with stars.

He couldn't believe that the difference in strength was so great.

"Although they are not my top subordinates, it's better to minimize their casualties."

Enel held Thunder God's Staff in one hand, while the fingers of his other hand twitched, a smile playing on his lips as if he were toying with ants.

"Wait? What are you doing!"

"Run! I can't control my body!"

To the astonishment of Mr. 3's men, the members of the Cross Guild began to kill each other one by one.

"As expected of Lord Enel! He can manipulate his comrades to fight each other with just a flick of his finger!"

"Yay! Hahahaha! This is God!"

Enel raised his arms high, and his powerful Conqueror's Haki began to surge forth like a tide.

People who were already forced to retreat by mutual slaughter fell one after another, losing their ability to resist.

"A bunch of useless trash, they're never of any use when it matters!"

Ah Yin gathered her strength, drew her long sword from her waist, and charged again, her target the person in the sky.

"Clang!"

He leaped into the air with incredible speed, his feet stomping as he flew through the air, continuously wielding his swift blade and striking Thunder God's Staff again and again.

"Black Winged Great Demon's second-in-command, take your head and send it to the Hive. He'll be furious when he sees it! Hahahaha!"

Agin's sword swung faster and faster, while Enel simply kept parrying. On the surface, it seemed as if the former was completely suppressing the latter.

"In these three years, I have been constantly honing my skills, and I have trained myself to the point where I can rival that Black Winged Great Demon!"

Ah Yin's face grew increasingly crazed, her knife already leaving afterimages in the air, her eyes filled with killing intent, as if victory was already assured.

"As expected of Mr. Gintoki!"

The Cross Guild below had just begun to cheer when something unexpected happened.

There was a loud "bang".

Enel's hands were wrapped in hard Armament Haki. He grabbed his opponent's long sword and held it firmly in his hand. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge it an inch.

"How is that possible... I'm the 'Slaughter Hunter' Ah Yin!"

Ah Yin's forehead was covered in cold sweat, the veins on his arms were bulging, and his whole body was trembling. You could even see the twitching of his blood vessels.

He kept increasing his strength, his muscles bulging, trying to cut off Enel's entire hand.

"Who told you that with such mediocre skills you could be compared to Captain of the Gods?"

Enel swung his other hand, Thunder God's Staff slammed heavily into his face.

The intense pain forced Ah Yin to let go, and she was knocked down from the air, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust before being deeply embedded in the earth.

"Call out!"

Enel casually tossed the longsword he had snatched downwards, which produced a series of whooshing sounds as it flew through the air.

"Boom!"

Just as the long sword was about to pierce Ah Yin's body, the ground collapsed instantly, and the figure flashed through the rubble, barely dodging the attack.

"Impossible... I am so much stronger than I was three years ago, even that Black Winged Great Demon couldn't..."

Under the sunlight, Ah Yin's disheveled appearance was revealed to everyone. He was covered in blood, his eyes were half open, which seemed out of place with the harsh words he had uttered.

Since becoming Shichibukai, he has never been so completely overwhelmed in front of others as he is now.

"We can't win at all... Even that Ah Yin was beaten to a pulp, what can we do... I surrender!"

Some people decisively threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground and raised their hands, while the rest either followed suit or hesitated.

"Don't be afraid! Mr. Crocodile hasn't made a move yet!"

A few who were determined to fight to the end shouted, as if trying to give themselves a glimmer of hope.

"Bang!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a massive sandstorm burst through the huge tent behind them, accompanied by a loud bang.

A white body flew out from the middle and crashed at Enel's feet.

"Hohohoho~ You're doomed, Crocodile!"

Mr. 3 struggled to his feet, but with this slight movement, all his candle armor shattered and broke apart.

Although he spat out a mouthful of blood, he burst into laughter.

"What's so funny about holding your own against me for a few moves? It will only hasten your death."

After the dust settled, Crocodile walked out with a gloomy face, his gleaming hooks shining even brighter in the sunlight.

And on his face, there was a burn mark.

"I am no match for you, that's obvious. I'm just trying to break your fear!"

The whole trip was originally intended for Enel to eliminate the Cross Guild; Mr. 3 was simply asking him to let him make the first move.

Even if he was beaten badly, the scar on the other person's face was enough for Mr. 3 to be proud of.

"Hehehe~ Long time no see, you bastard 'Thor' Enel."

Crocodile gritted his teeth, but then burst into laughter.

"Hey~ Hahaha~ Isn't this the little crocodile that was beaten by the God and doesn't dare to fight back? If you kneel down now, maybe we can consider sparing your life."

Enel narrowed his already small eyes and teased his opponent, who was on the verge of exploding with rage, without any restraint.

"This guy is tough to deal with; perhaps we should put aside our prejudices for now."

SilverAsh dragged his injured body to Crocodile's side, wanting to fight alongside him.

"Useless brat, just behave yourself and become my underling!"

The latter did not respond immediately, but the meaning he expressed was the same as his.

"Yay~ Hahaha~ Interesting, interesting! If you can do it, give it a try!"

"Defeat me, Your Strongest under the King!"
