Bloom, Sirius

Hiss hiss hiss hiss!

Beams of laser light shot into the sea, triggering wave after wave of violent explosions.

However, the figure targeted by the laser darted through the water like a fish, dodging the attack while occasionally unleashing two sharp slashes towards the laser's launcher.

Teacher Queen deflected the incoming slash with several consecutive laser beams.

Vista surfaced from the water, looking impatient, and said, "Queen, you bastard, fighting you is so boring!"

Shouldn't a real man be considerate and then, after getting close, engage in a fierce and satisfying battle?

All this fat pig can do is fire lasers from a distance!

He hated this guy's fighting style, but in the current situation, he was the only one who could hold him off and prevent him from getting close to the Moby Dick. This guy was known as the Plague!

"Hahahaha! I'm not stupid enough to fight a guy like you in close combat!"

Teacher Queen burst into laughter.

Swordsmen are incredibly powerful, let alone a great swordsman like Vista.

To fight such an opponent, he needs to make the most of his strengths, which are the various weapons mounted on his body.

He was a scientist first, and a fighter second.

Hand-to-hand combat is always the second choice.

"But Queen, what did that kid go about?"

Vista even seemed somewhat relaxed, defending and counterattacking simultaneously while smiling.

He said he wanted to end this fight.

Queen grinned, firing laser cannons incessantly; he alone possessed an astonishing firepower, like an entire army.

Vista was somewhat surprised. "That's quite an ambitious young man."

"But unfortunately, Thatch and Namur are already gone. Those two brats are indeed strong, but the attack just now also severely depleted their strength, right?"

"Hahaha, who knows?" Teacher Queen just laughed.

On Sirius's side.

Thatch stared wide-eyed in astonishment. "What did you do, kid?"

He could even clearly hear the thumping sounds coming from the little brat in front of him.

It sounded like a heartbeat.

What exactly happened?

Sirius a slow sigh of relief. The hot breath he exhaled flew far away like a sharp sword before dissipating, and the black mist surrounding him seemed to thicken.

"Yamato, that big mouth is yours now."

Sirius stared intently at Thatch.

"Yes, I'll buy time for Sirius!"

Yamato charged straight ahead, unleashing "Divine Speed - White Serpent Drive!"

Frost wrapped around his legs, and with Yamato took, the sea, which was not yet frozen in the distance, began to freeze over.

Namur was not afraid and threw a punch, "Fish-Man Karate-- "

As Yamato launched his attack, Sirius exerted force with both legs, shattering the ice beneath his feet. His body seemed to vanish into thin air, and in the blink of an eye, he had overtaken Yamato and pounced on Thatch.

"So fast!"

Thatch was startled and almost instinctively raised his twin swords.

When!

A black line flashed down, like a thunderbolt striking from a clear sky.

Thatch felt a numbness in his hands, and his twin swords seemed completely unable to withstand the attack, sinking downwards.

Then--

"Ooh!"

Thatch cried out in pain as the azure greatsword struck his shoulder, leaving a deep wound that almost reached the bone.

What exactly happened?

Thatch was completely baffled.

Why did this kid's speed and strength both increase to a new level in the blink of an eye?!

Before Thatch could retaliate, Sirius crouched low with ghostly speed, then launched himself forward, deflecting the attack and appearing directly behind Thatch, slashing horizontally with his greatsword.

Thatch quickly turned to defend himself.

Then, a terrifying force sent him flying.

Thatch staggered, finally regaining his footing, but then black flames rushed towards him.

He quickly jumped aside to avoid it, but the greatsword just happened to fall from the sky.

When!

With a loud bang, Thatch was sent flying again, landing awkwardly on his backside on the ice.

"This power is outrageous!"

Thatch exclaimed in surprise, "This kid hasn't even used Haki yet!"

He had just gotten up when Sirius attacked again, his greatsword swung around like a windmill.

Thatch struggled to hold on.

His Haki gave him the advantage, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

Every clash of swords seemed to shake the sword from his hand.

"Thatch!"

Namur noticed Thatch's predicament and wanted to help him, but—

"Don't even think about disturbing Sirius, Ice Sever!!"

Since Haki isn't enough, then let's not be Haki!

The Spiked Club, wreathed in pale, freezing air, crashed down with a deafening roar.

"Karakusa Tile Fist!"

With Namur unleashed a punch that sent shockwaves through the air. He needed to quickly defeat the little girl and then go to support his friends.

However, how should I put it, Fish-Man Karate and Fish-Man Judo are techniques for manipulating water.

And Yamato is ice!

The shockwave vanished instantly after a brief moment of tremor, turning into scattered frost.

Then, the hard Spiked Club slammed into Namur's fist.

Wow!

Even with Armament Haki as a defense, taking this blow still made Namur cry out in pain, and his fist even deformed.

Meanwhile, Thatch was still struggling to withstand Sirius's ferocious offensive.

What's wrong with this kid?

Thatch gritted his teeth; at this rate, he couldn't hold on much longer!

Sirius was also helpless.

This guy is way too strong!

Even so, they were still able to withstand their own attacks!

I've used every trick in the book!

Sirius then entered a strange state.

A surge of adrenaline causes the heart to beat at its maximum, and the blood flow is like being on a highway.

This resulted in a significant increase in his physical abilities.

It's like the Gear Second of Straw Hat.

All of this is thanks to the bite he took of himself earlier.

For the past few years, he has consistently been taking chemistry lessons with Teacher Queen.

He created a very special kind of Venom.

This Venom is relatively weaker, but it can stimulate bodily functions, causing people to unleash astonishing power as if in a final burst of energy.

However, of course, there are also side effects.

It is still a toxin, after all.

Once used on oneself, the body will be like a car with the accelerator fully pressed and the brakes removed, accelerating continuously until the car crashes and the person dies.

It can be described as a low-end version of the Eight Inner Gates.

But even in his condition, how could this guy still hold on?

Sirius gritted his teeth.

So, you really can't do without Haki?

Relying solely on strength is too inefficient.

Then let's just stop trying to save money!

Sirius gripped the sword with both hands, channeling all his Armament Haki into the Azure Greatsword, making the blue fluctuations on it almost tangible.

"Emperor Sword - Water Wave!"

The greatsword slashed diagonally, blue waves spreading across the sky, then suddenly coalescing into a line that fell swiftly.

Thatch's pupils constricted as he parried with both swords.

When!!

The ice beneath Thatch's feet shattered instantly.

He could no longer hold onto the two swords, and they flew into the sky.

Then at the same time, a gash suddenly burst from Thatch's chest, extending from his shoulder to his opposite abdomen.

"Ooh!"

He couldn't help but exclaim.

But it's not over yet.

Thatch has not lost consciousness yet.

Without pausing, Sirius sprang forward, grabbed Thatch's arm, pulled him back, and bit down on his shoulder with his wide mouth.

This is the real end.

Sirius casually tossed Thatch into the sea.

The Venom has been injected; this guy is probably beyond saving.

Meanwhile, Yamato was still locked in fierce combat with Namur.

Just then, Sirius saw Yamato and sent flying.

She has now exhausted her Haki.

Sirius lunged forward, yelling, "Yamato, step back!"

The greatsword, trailing a blue glow like surging water, reached Namur almost instantly with the speed boost from Sirius.

Namur gritted his teeth, "Four Thousand Tile Fist!"

He clenched his fist.

Boom!

The ice surface shattered instantly.

Amidst a flash of blue light, Namur was sent flying, plunging headfirst into the sea amidst splattered blood.

Sirius also took a few steps back, feeling the hilt of his sword vibrate painfully in his hand.

That attack wasn't imbued with any Haki; it simply relied on brute force to repel Namur. At most, that guy was only slightly injured, definitely not to the point of losing his fighting ability.

However, Sirius used his Observation Haki to investigate and found that the guy hadn't returned; instead, he had gone to the sea to retrieve Thatch.

In that case, there will truly be no obstacles ahead.

Sirius stood on a broken ice floe, turned and shouted, "Yamato, keep going!"

Soon, Yamato transformed back into its wolf form and, carrying Sirius, rapidly approached the Moby Dick.

They had reached the coastal fire zone. Sirius brandished his sword to fend off friendly fire; the Moby Dick was now almost in sight.

"Yamato, wait for me here!"

Sirius leaped off Yamato's back, soaring dozens of meters into the air, now above the Whitebeard Pirates' deck, where he could clearly see the densely packed pirates.

They were busy defending against attacks from the coast, repairing ships, and putting out fires.

Now, the moment to decide the outcome is here!

Sirius reached into his robes.

But at that very moment, the wind howled and something came crashing down.

Sirius suddenly turned his head—it was a cannon! Someone had thrown a huge cannon at him!

Sirius had already clearly seen the man through the cannon.

Diamond Jozu, who's been sitting on the deck the whole time!

Sirius his sword. Although he was not skilled in swordsmanship and did not possess the ability to Iron Cutting, he still managed to cleave the cannon in two with his strength and the sharpness of his blade.

Then he opened his mouth and spat.

The black flames shot directly toward a certain spot on the deck.

Just as Jozu was about to throw another cannon, he frowned, abandoned his attack on Sirius, and headed towards the flames. He swung the huge cannon with all his might, and the resulting gale actually managed to disperse Sirius's flames.

Just how incredible is this guy's strength?

But it didn't matter; the black flames still splashed onto the deck and spread instantly.

Whitebeard's pirates began hastily putting out the fire again.

Sirius seized the opportunity, gripping the object in his arms tightly; the hard texture made him feel as if he had grasped victory.

Then, Sirius met a pair of eyes—the eyes of the Whitebeard who had just leaped off the deck!

Sirius as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Oops!

"Kid, Air Shock!"

Whitebeard casually punched through the air, and the surging shockwave rushed straight towards Sirius.

"Teacher Kaido!"

Sirius up to the sky and shouted.

What are you doing?! Control your opponent!

Don't you know that the unspoken rule in the world of One Piece is King vs King, General vs General?

Now we're completely finished?

A massive black shadow descended from the sky, spreading its wings and blocking Sirius's path.

Boom!

The shockwave struck him directly.

Sirius was so moved he almost cried, "Teacher King!"

This guy is way more reliable than Teacher Kaido! No wonder he's the most reliable man in the Beasts Pirates!

His emotion lasted only a moment.

"Hey, hey, hey, so, does this kid have some secret?"

With Teacher King's arrival, his rival naturally followed suit.

A large bird wreathed in blue flames circled in the air, bypassed Teacher King, and headed towards Sirius.

Teacher King, quickly use your invincible invincibility to think of a solution!

However, Teacher King was already struggling to withstand Whitebeard's shockwave, and clearly couldn't spare any time to help Sirius.

Marco is very close.

"Bolo Breath!!"

The blazing flames coalesced into a pillar of light that descended from the sky, engulfing Marco completely before crashing down onto the sea.

Sirius looked up in surprise, while Teacher Kaido, as if he hadn't done anything, charged towards Spiked Club with his Whitebeard, yelling, "Ugh! Thunder Bagua!!"

Boom!!!

The Spiked Club clashed with the naginata, and a sudden gust of wind arose.

Now is the time!

Sirius took out what he had hidden in his bosom.

It was a cannonball with a very abstract wolf's head engraved on it.

Sirius's arm muscles bulged as he used all his strength to throw the cannonball against the gale.

Because Teacher Kaido and Whitebeard were fighting, the shockwave greatly slowed down the speed of the cannonballs.

However, Sirius was very strong at this point, and he managed to make the shell land straight on the deck of the Moby Dick, deliberately aiming at areas with many people.

Then, at the same time that Whitebeard and Teacher Kaido parted ways.

"Bang!"

White smoke billowed into the sky, condensing into an illusory wolf's head above the deck.

Bloom, Sirius!

Sirius began to fall.
