Before he knew it, Jack had circled around to Haku's back, transforming into an ancient mammoth as he charged straight at Haku's spine with two extremely sharp tusks!

"Tch!"

Haku let out a disdainful sound. He knew that if he kept stalemating with King like this, his body would definitely get hit by Jack!

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, he completely turned his entire body into elemental form. While dodging King's attack, he also evaded the tusks Jack had rammed at him!

"Marine brat! Take a taste of this lord's Ice Demon!"

With that, Queen—who had already released his body's transformation—raised the launcher in his hands and attacked Haku, who had just ended his elementalization!

Haku frowned slightly, because the timing of the opponent's attack was truly immaculate!

As for the biological weapon Queen had just fired at him, he remembered it from the memories of his past life. He knew it was an artificial virus that Queen called his masterpiece; anyone infected by this virus would feel a chill.

The coldness would gradually spread from the wound across the entire body, and the parts covered by the chill would turn as ghastly as a demon's. If the antidote wasn't administered after an hour, death would follow. Those infected by the virus would lose control, attacking others indiscriminately, and anyone they touched would be infected instantly.

The infected would burn through all their physical strength and stamina to fight, acting just like zombies.

Struck by the bullet, Haku felt a trace of a chilling sensation that rapidly invaded his entire body!

It made Haku feel extremely uncomfortable! Even a patch of freezing began to appear right where he had been shot!

"Hahahahaha! Marine brat, now you know this lord's power! Let's see how you get poisoned to death by the supreme masterpiece I developed an hour from now!"

Haku speechlessly looked at the inexplicably arrogant Queen across from him. If someone else caught this trick and needed an antidote, he really couldn't be sure, but as for himself, he was completely immune to these kinds of biological viruses.

Haku raised the Zanpakuto in his hand and pointed it at the Calamities. "All things in the universe, turn to ash, Ryujin Jakka!"

Endless flames instantly exploded from Haku's body and the Zanpakuto!

In a split second, the entire battlefield between the Calamities and Haku was instantly surrounded by this sudden, raging fire!

"What!"

Queen's two small eyes instantly popped out from behind his glasses, because in his field of vision, he saw Haku's body—which had been frozen by the Ice Demon—return to its original state!

And King, the strongest among the Calamities, was also extremely on guard against Haku at this moment!

Because he could sense that the Haku to come was going to become exceptionally troublesome to deal with!

As for the battlefield, the one whose state of mind changed the least was none other than Jack himself. Because up until now, he was still considering how to ambush Haku after his two big brothers made their moves!

After releasing his Zanpakuto, Haku cast his gaze toward King.

Among the people present, only this quasi-Yonko Commander-level powerhouse could exchange a couple of moves with him.

As for Jack and Queen, he hadn't taken them seriously at all! One was just a reckless brash brute; as long as he found an opening, Haku could use the released Ryujin Jakka at any time to beat the other guy until he lost his combat capability!

As for the other one, Queen! That went without saying; that entirely modified body of his was utterly countered and dead-locked by the magnetic control and Rumble-Rumble Fruit abilities!

"You're King, right? You'd better put in some effort. If you keep hiding your strength from here on out, I'll have no choice but to trudge right over you to fight Kaido!" Haku said arrogantly.

"Smelly brat!" King faintly felt his anger bubbling up uncontrollably.

However, after feeling the momentum radiating from Haku, he also deeply understood that if he didn't get serious now, the opponent really might go find his boss to fight.

King stopped maintaining his full beast transformation, and at the same time, he pulled out the giant samurai sword strapped to his waist. The desolate aura on his body was fully revealed, faintly matching Haku's present strength blow for blow.

Haku looked with great interest at this man called Kaido's right hand, the head of the Three Disasters, nicknamed the Calamity of Flames, King!

The aura displayed by the opponent had already ignited Haku's fighting spirit!

Far away on Onigashima, Kaido was drinking when he too felt the momentum coming from afar over at Byakubi!

Immediately, he smashed the wine jar in his hand, picked up the spiked club resting beside him, and staggered toward the direction of Byakubi!

"Fire Dragon Emperor!"

Facing an opponent as powerful as Haku, he took the initiative to launch an attack!

The flames on King's body wrapped around the samurai sword in his hand, and then shot out an Eastern dragon-shaped stream of fire through the blade!

The scorching flames were like magma, flying right up in front of Haku in the blink of an eye!

"Huh? You actually dare to play with fire in front of me?"

Facing this ferocious strike, Haku's expression didn't change in the slightest!

"Scorching Hell!"

The Ryujin Jakka in his hand swung out in a smooth motion, and dozens of heaven-reaching pillars of fire soared into the sky, directly scattering the Fire Dragon Emperor unleashed by King!

"Damn it!" King cursed under his breath upon seeing that this blow had no effect.

"This kid's displayed abilities are a bit weird, let's go together in a moment!" Queen stepped up beside King and whispered in a low voice!

King glanced sideways at Queen without any extra words.

Meanwhile, Jack transformed completely into his beast form once again, turning into an ancient mammoth as he charged toward Haku!

Jack still had a very clear positioning of himself; with his current strength, unless Haku exposed a colossal opening, there was simply no way he could harm the opponent!

Therefore, he wanted to rely on his thick-skinned and fleshy physique to pin Haku down.

Facing the massive charging mammoth ahead, the corners of Haku's mouth curled into a cold sneer!

"Castle Burn!"

Haku waved the Ryujin Jakka in his hand forward, and the flames released from the blade turned into a giant palm, instantly enveloping Jack inside.

"Oh no! Jack, you can't withstand that attack!" King, who also possessed fire abilities, saw that Haku's move was extraordinary!

Unfortunately! Even if he shouted out to stop Jack, it was already too late.

Haku laughed and said, "Isn't it a bit too late to warn him now? Do you suppose this fellow will be roasted into a lump of charcoal by the high temperature inside?"

"Dammit! This brat!" King cursed out loud again.

"Queen, help me block for a moment. I'll rescue Jack first!"

With that, King transformed into his Pteranodon form and charged straight into the sea of fire, directly ignoring the terrifying flames carrying that intense heat.

"Hey! But I can't blo—" Queen understood that he was completely countered and dead-locked by Haku's abilities!

However, thinking of his little brother Jack in grave danger, he gritted his teeth!

Once again, he raised his left hand, holding a Gatling gun loaded with plague bullets, and fired toward Haku!
