Black Wolf's Roar

Sirius felt pain all over his body, especially in his chest; his bones and internal organs must have been smashed to pieces.

Just how powerful is this guy's Haki?!

Her Haki was practically as fragile as paper in front of him.

"Sirius! Are you alright, Sirius?!"

Yamato, who had rolled around with Sirius Yamato, hurriedly got up, carefully supporting Sirius's shoulder and frantically calling his name.

Sirius struggled to open his eyes, but all he could see was a double image, and he could barely make out Yamato's face.

His mouth opened and closed twice, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

The lungs were so severely damaged that the patient could no longer use airflow to propel the vocal cords and produce sound.

"Sirius!"

Tears welled up in Yamato's eyes instantly. She carefully tried to touch Sirius's wound, but after seeing it clearly, she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

"My injuries are so bad... No, will Sirius die? No, I don't want Sirius to die... We promised to be together forever... Don't leave me... Sirius..."

She was becoming somewhat incoherent, wanting to hold the person in her arms tightly, but also afraid of pressing on his wound.

"What should we do? What should we do now?"

Sirius felt his head buzzing.

Did he make a foolish mistake at a crucial moment?

At this point, all you need to do is flip me over and let me chew on more stones, and everything will be fine, right?

Imu slowly walked over. "Let's stop here."

"..."

Yamato pursed his lips.

She carefully turned Sirius over so that he could lie face down on the ground.

"Sirius, you need to recover well!"

She stood up and blocked Imu's path. "I'll buy you some time!"

How much time can you buy?

"Imu said calmly."

"Ten seconds, five seconds, even one second doesn't matter!"

Yamato gripped his Spiked Club tightly with both hands and said seriously, "As long as I'm not dead, I will never let you get a single step closer to Sirius!"

"..."

Imu paused for a moment, then said, "I'll say it again, what a touching friendship."

"If I could, I would really like to talk to you more, but unfortunately..."

He took a step.

Yamato is on high alert.

In any case, she had to buy time for Sirius.

Sizzle!

At that very moment, beams of light shot down from above, hurtling directly toward Imu.

Imu simply raised his left hand, and an invisible barrier blocked all the beams of light.

The violent explosion did nothing to deter him.

"Damn it!! What's wrong with this guy?!"

Standing on the ship's railing Page One shouted defiantly, "No, I have to go down and help my brothers!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Jack grabbed him. "Sirius couldn't defeat his opponent, are you going down there to die?!"

Are we just going to stand by and watch?!

Ulti gritted her teeth and roared, "Watch Sirius and Yamato die?"

"How long do you think Yamato can last, ten seconds or five seconds?"

"..."

Jack's shoulders were trembling, his fists clenched, and then he finally said, "Lo! Let's go down together!"

"I'll hold him off with everything I have! Maybe I can only hold him off for a second!"

"But that should be enough for you. Bring Sirius and Yamato back to the ship, and if possible, try to bring Mr. Dragon and the others along too!"

"Then Black, go full speed ahead, don't hesitate, get out of here!"

"I can go with you—" Hiyori said.

But Jack immediately interrupted, "Shut up! I'm enough on my own!"

"..."

Below, on the ground.

Sirius struggled to even open his eyes, but he knew that Yamato was now standing in front of Imu.

His ears were buzzing, but he could vaguely hear the voice emanating from Black's core.

"... Captain, this is Jack's decision. Please be prepared."

Sirius found out.

After Yamato, Jack will also have to come down and die.

Idiot, how could you possibly be a match for that guy?

Sirius!!

You idiot!

That's incredibly arrogant!

Why the rush?

Why didn't you listen to Shanks and wait until the time was right?

Has your smooth sailing all along made you start to despise this ocean?

Shouldn't we have thought of this sooner?

The final boss in a shonen manga is naturally several times stronger than the bosses in the previous stages.

It's too late, there's no time to try and chew on the rocks!

Get moving!

Get moving, my body!!

If someone has to die, then I should be the first one to die!

Yamato, you idiot, get out of there and hide in the back!

Jack, you idiot, get back to the safe zone!

Why can't I move my body?

Are we really powerless to help with such a minor injury?

Since the neuromuscular and skeletal system has been damaged, let's use other methods!

I can still have my Seimei Kikan, and I can still control my body!

Get moving!!

It roared silently.

The already formidable willpower was amplified by the emotions, and at this moment it surged forth like a landslide and a tsunami.

The will surged wildly to every corner of the body, then merged into it, penetrating deep into the very core of the body.

Aww!!

Sirius suddenly heard a tremendous roar, deafening and seemingly echoing across the heavens.

Before my eyes, a huge black shadow gathered and gradually took on a familiar shape.

"This is--"

Sirius lost consciousness.

"Aurora Eight Trigrams!!"

Yamato and launched himself forward, his White Mace attacking mercilessly.

"Meaningless."

Imu simply raised his left hand and easily blocked Yamato's Spiked Club a meter away; no matter how strong the chilling aura was, it couldn't get close to him at all.

"Kindness?"

Imu, who was about to kill Yamato, suddenly looked up, and Jack fell from the sky.

"Fish-Man Karate!! Secret Technique!! Buraikan!!"

Using the gravitational potential energy of his fall, Jack roared and slammed down with a punch.

"Jack!!"

Yamato almost screamed.

What are you doing down here, you idiot?!

Imu remained calm; he simply raised his arm.

A guy of this caliber could be crushed with a mere flick of the wrist.

On the Sirius, Luo gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and a huge transparent sphere opened up, enveloping everyone on the ground.

"Kindness?"

Imu looked up in surprise. "Right, the Op-Op Fruit... let's take care of you guys first."

He leaped into the air like Inazuma, and in the next instant, he was already alongside the Sirius.

Imu raised his fist, an invisible wave swirling around it.

Oh no!!

Luo's expression changed drastically.

It's too late!!

We're doomed!!

"Everyone!!"

Yamato was almost in despair.

Someone please come and save us!

"Roar!!!"

A roar soared into the sky, even scattering the clouds above.

The sound waves transformed into a raging wind, sweeping away everything on the island's surface.

"What?"

Imu lowered his head in astonishment. "This is—"

In the center of the island, a black shadow roared to the sky.

Yamato paused for a moment, then slowly turned around.

Immediately, a tear slid down her cheek.

"Sirius-- "
