Scopper Gaban's End, the Fall of a Legend!

Scopper Gaban was clear-headed. After consuming all the Forbidden Medicine, his life was like a candle in the wind. His power was at its peak but was also constantly being lost. Before long, his power would decline to its original level. This process would not stop or be reversed. The moment his power was completely exhausted would be his death.

For him, death was nothing to fear; it might be a rebirth or a release. But that didn't mean he was willing to die meaninglessly like this, paying the price of his life yet still failing to harm the enemy in the slightest. This result undoubtedly made him somewhat disheartened.

"Senior Gaban, don't let his words affect you. I've recovered most of my strength now, and with the two of us combined, we might still have a chance of winning." Seeing that Scopper Gaban was feeling down, Red Hair encouraged him.

"Phew, you're right, we must never give up until the very last moment!" Scopper Gaban first reaffirmed his belief, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Looks like I really am getting old, I actually need you to remind me of something like this."

"Oh no, watch out!" Just as the Red Hair was about to say something, he keenly sensed that the spot where Roy had been was now empty. A deadly crisis loomed over him, and without thinking, he shoved Scopper Gaban aside while quickly moving his own body to the side.

In the next instant, a vast and magnificent sword light shot out from the space, lying between the two people, even the Cloud Layer were worn away, as if crushed into the smallest particles.

Seeing this, Scopper Gaban felt a chill run down his spine. If Red Hair hadn't noticed the enemy's movements at the last moment, they would have been vaporized by the powerful sword light.

Dodging the attack, the Red Hair man rushed towards Roy with Inazuma speed. The longsword Griffin, whose blade was wrapped in Armament Haki and whose Sword Heart was filled with Conqueror's Haki, attacked from the horizon like a griffin soaring in the sky, possessing the power to cut through everything.

Roy, having exited the space, calmly withdrew his aura and leaped back into the Virtualization space, causing Red Hair's attack to miss completely. In the next instant, he appeared behind Scopper Gaban, slashing down with his Seven Star Sword.

Having learned his lesson, Scopper Gaban naturally wouldn't ignore Roy's elusive abilities. He sensed the enemy appearing behind him the instant he did, and used all his strength to spin around and slash horizontally.

Boom!

The blades met in a cross shape, emitting a crisp, resonant sound. A raging aura burst forth, and in an instant Scopper Gaban was blasted away by an unstoppable force, his longsword nearly slipping from his hand.

"It's monstrous power! Even if I had time to react, I wouldn't be able to handle it!" Scopper Gaban discreetly shook his numb right hand, while looking at the fine nicks on the blade with a wry smile. If he hadn't constantly used Armament Haki to protect the sword, his weapon would probably have been cut in half by the incredibly powerful divine weapon in his opponent's hand.

"Senior Gaban, can you still hold on?" Red Hair asked with concern, while glancing warily at Roy, wary of his stealthy sneak attack.

"Don't worry, I won't die before my power completely fades. From now on, we should try not to split up and give him no chance to defeat us separately." Scopper Gaban took a deep breath and thought to himself, "The only chance is to wait until my power fades to a point where I can control it, and then join forces with Shanks to deliver the fatal blow!"

"Alright, Senior Gaban, let's go together then."

Scopper Gaban nodded, then transformed into a shimmering meteor and plummeted towards Roy's location alongside the Red Hair.

"It's really impressive that you two can attack together so seamlessly. Unfortunately, I won't let you have your way." Roy remained unmoved, and only when the two Red Hair men approached at lightning speed did he suddenly unleash a powerful mental shock, containing an unruly and domineering will.

With Red Hair overwhelmingly powerful Conqueror's Haki, Shanks was immune to most of Roy's mental attacks and continued to attack Roy without changing his expression. However, Scopper Gaban did not have this ability and froze, losing his focus.

"Damn it!" The moment Scopper Gaban failed to catch up, Red Hair knew something was wrong and forcibly changed direction to block Roy's path.

"Don't get in my way!" It was indeed impossible for Roy to defeat Red Hair in a short time, but it wouldn't be too difficult to just knock him away.

Before Red Hair could even get close, he was sent flying by an overwhelming force, forced to watch helplessly as Roy rapidly approached Scopper Gaban.

Boom!

In a critical moment, Red Hair had no choice but to unleash his Conqueror's Haki capable of changing the very fabric of the world, but his target was not Roy, but rather Scopper Gaban, who was in a daze.

Scopper Gaban, whose battlefield was being fought by two Conqueror's Haki, felt a splitting headache. He awoke from his daze and was soon confronted with a terrifying sight: the tip of a sword, radiating an aura of destruction, was almost within reach of him, seemingly about to strangle him.

Scopper Gaban gritted his teeth and shifted his body at the last moment. The sword that was supposed to pierce his heart only went into his chest, but the feeling of his flesh being devoured and his soul being roasted made him cry out in pain.

"Hiss... Is this the power of that ominous blade called the Seven Star Sword? What immense power! My life force is constantly draining away, everything in my body is being devoured." Scopper Gaban felt his mind becoming hazy. Already at his limit, he was completely crushed by this final "straw," and could only bitterly smile to himself, "It seems I won't be able to hold on until my power declines to a point where I can control it..."

"Wait... this might be my last chance!" Scopper Gaban's eyes cleared instantly as he forcibly restrained his increasingly distorted expression.

"Damn it, Gaban, wait for me, I'm coming to save you right now!" Red Hair's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed forward without thinking.

"Shanks, run!" Scopper Gaban roared with all his might, his voice even drowning out the thunder, causing the battlefield below to pause slightly and look up at the sky in unease.

However, it was this one glance that shocked them and left them speechless.

The third-ranking figure on the Pirate Kings's ship, the legendary pirate Scopper Gaban, has been impaled by a sharp blade and pinned to the void, seemingly on the verge of death.

Those who participated in the Battle of the Golden City felt that this scene was somewhat similar, as if the positions of the two sides were reversed.

However, they didn't believe that Scopper Gaban could survive like Nightmare had. Not everyone possesses the near-immortality of Kaido and Nightmare. Even a top-tier powerhouse like Scopper Gaban would have a hard time surviving a wound that almost pierced his heart, let alone Nightmare, who stood at the pinnacle of this sea. No matter how you looked at it, Scopper Gaban didn't seem to have any chance of survival.
