Above the deserted island.
The battle was in full swing.
Meanwhile, deep within Leviathan Base, a facility carved out of solid rock.
Massive cracks spread across the walls. Perhaps because this was the most critical area, Ryokugyu's vines and roots had not reached this place.
At that moment, purple Poison Gas filled the tunnels and chambers.
"Urgh, urgh!! Help! Requesting reinforcements! An enemy has invaded Core Warehouse No. 6!"
The tunnel filled with purple gas was littered with corpses.
As the last Marine soldier clutched his throat and struggled to call for help outside.
Crack!!!
A large foot crushed the Den Den Mushi before him, its face similarly twisted in panic.
"Shurororororo, trying to call for reinforcements? You really are the Navy's elite! Even when you're about to die, you're still thinking about your mission.
But, little brother, I can't let news of this place get out. In recognition of your courage, I'll give you a quick death."
"Poison Gas Impact."
A vast cloud of purple gas spread from Caesar Clown's body. The highly toxic fumes instantly sent the still-struggling Marine soldier to meet the Pirate King.
Caesar Clown's distinctive laughter echoed through the empty corridor.
Boom!!
The entire base suddenly tilted and shook once more.
The cracks along the empty corridor widened and became even more pronounced amid the violent upheaval.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the Navy and World Government's strongest fighters. To force old man Whitebeard and Roy to use power on this level... it looks like this base won't hold out much longer! I need to move the goods out quickly."
Caesar Clown looked up at the sparse dust and tiny fragments of rock falling from the ceiling.
Without hesitation, Caesar Clown immediately transformed into his elemental form.
Purple Poison Gas spread throughout Core Warehouse No.
