Haku looked at King, who had charged into the sea of fire, as if completely unaware, and exclaimed, "As expected of the Lunarian race! To be able to survive charging into flames exceeding 6,000 degrees, and adapt so quickly!"

As for Queen's Gatling attack, Haku simply chose to ignore it.

The flames around his body seemed to possess a consciousness of their own, automatically forming a barrier of fire! The incoming bullets were instantly reduced to flying ash the moment they touched the barrier, along with the biochemical virus contained within them!

Before long, King, transformed into a Pteranodon, burst out of the perimeter of the flames with his claws gripping a pitch-black body!

"Jack!"

Seeing the miserable state of Jack's body, Queen could not help crying out in alarm. As someone who loved modifying his own body, he naturally saw how severe Jack's injuries were!

King threw Jack's body to his subordinates, then rushed right back into the fiery battlefield without even looking back.

"Hey! How are Jack's injuries? Will he survive?"

Queen anxiously asked King, for among the Beasts Pirates, he was the one who cared the most about the injuries of this younger brother!

"Hey, hey, hey! You guys had better worry about yourselves instead, hadn't you?" Haku chimed in at that moment.

"This bastard!" Queen cursed angrily.

King spoke up then, "Stop chattering and let's deal with this brat first!"

"Flame Emperor!"

Using the mysterious flames on his body, King conjured fireballs from his hands and attacked Haku in the distance!

Haku shook his head helplessly and said, "I've already told you, fire attacks don't work on me!"

Countless fireballs streaked toward Haku, and for a moment his vision was actually blocked by the incoming projectiles!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, King and Queen split up and acted simultaneously.

By the time Haku easily batted away the fireball attacks, Queen had already reached his side!

"Brat! Go die for me!"

"Black Firelight!"

Queen fired a laser beam from his mouth, causing a massive explosion right at the spot where Haku stood!

Queen looked up toward the sky because, in his Observation Haki perception, Haku had already leaped into mid-air just moments ago to evade his attack.

"King! Grab the chance!" Queen shouted toward Haku's back.

Haku felt a shock in his chest as he stepped on Geppo and spun backward.

In his field of vision, King seemed to have been waiting behind him for a long time already!

Guardian Fire Dragon Emperor

King unleashed an even larger fire dragon through his gigantic samurai sword. This fire dragon was an enhanced version of the Fire Dragon Emperor, and the power it displayed was a massive upgrade compared to before!

"What a pain!" Haku looked dismissively at this enhanced version of the Fire Dragon Emperor. Facing this top-down attack, Haku extended his left hand and shouted sternly!

"Eighty Million Volts! Thunder Dragon!"

A thunder dragon, one that was by no means inferior to the enhanced Fire Dragon Emperor, was released from Haku's hand.

The two attacks collided mid-air, and countless sparks and flames rained down onto the battlefield!

"Did it work?" Queen stood on the ground and gazed intently into the sky.

Because Haku's figure had been blown away by the energy radiated by the two attacks, no one could locate him at that moment!

King, flying in the air, spotted Haku's figure first!

"Queen! He's behind you!"

Upon hearing King's warning while still searching for Haku's form, Queen felt the gaze of a beast fixed on the back of his head from behind!

At that moment, Haku's clothes were tattered, having been struck by the energy released by the two clashes since he had been closest to them earlier.

Consequently, Haku had indeed been hit by the power unleashed by both! Although he was completely free of any injuries,

he certainly did not look as radiant as before!

Haku was now stepping on Geppo, his body suspended entirely behind Queen! Ryujin Jakka in his hand rested right against Queen's sweating shoulders!

Gritting his teeth, Haku said to Queen, "Fatty! You've got some nerve, don't you! If you hadn't tricked me into the air just now, I wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state! Tell me, should I chop your head off right now or not!"

Hearing this, Queen found his body even more paralyzed, because Haku had once again used magnetism to directly control his form!

Meanwhile, seeing Queen in danger, King in the air charged blindly toward Haku without a second thought!

"Hmph! Last time I just used magnetism to repel you all the way back to Onigashima! This time I've changed my mind—I'm going to use you like a giant coin and shoot you straight out!"

With that, Haku's palm was already pressed against Queen!

Countless arcs of electricity erupted from his body! Queen felt as though his body no longer belonged to him.

His entire beast-transformed body floated up on its own, and was then launched directly in the direction of Udon using the propulsion principle of Haku's electromagnetic cannon.

As for whether Queen would die on the spot when he crashed into the mountains of Udon, that remained unknown, but Queen was definitely out of luck.

Seeing Queen treated like this by Haku, King felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He gripped his dual swords and slashed toward Haku's head!

"Almost forgot about you!" Haku looked up, casting an icy gaze at King!

"Torch!"

Haku countered directly with an upward Drawing Slash!

The blades in their hands collided in mid-air, emitting a harsh metallic clashing sound. King felt his arm go numb from the shock, yet Haku's attack failed to inflict any damage on him either.

"Hmph, as expected of the strongest Calamity among the three, your strength is indeed extraordinary." Haku gazed coldly at King as Ryujin Jakka in his hand swept out once more, sending a crimson flame hacking fiercely toward King.

King did not show weakness either, swinging the gigantic samurai sword in his hand to send a massive fiery Kamaitachi flying toward Haku. The two attacks collided in mid-air with a deafening roar, as if trying to tear the entire sky apart.

King and Queen—no, King and Haku separated once again, both knowing that the battle had now entered a heated phase!

Secretly, King felt a jolt of shock in his heart. Ever since they met,

he had long since acknowledged Haku's strength!

At the same time, he finally understood why Queen had been so easily defeated by the opponent at the start.

It was hard to imagine; the opponent clearly looked not even twenty years old yet possessed strength that probably reached the level of the Four Emperors!

King knew that to deal with such a formidable opponent, it was best for their boss to step in personally.

However! As the only man in the Beasts Pirates whose strength approached the quasi-Four-Emperors tier,

he was not about to concede defeat to Haku just like this!

Yet regardless of what the other party was thinking, Haku had no intention of showing mercy to his opponent!

Right now, he just wanted to bring the battle to a swift end!
