"Gawain!!!"
The Shiki roared Gawain's name, then suddenly pressed down hard on the Kogarashi Rokumei Kotetsu!
Feeling the pressure from the Shiki, Gawain gripped his sword with both hands and used all his strength to forcefully push the blade up.
Because the Shiki was using his legs to generate power, even though Gawain was giving it his all, the two remained evenly matched for a long time!
About three seconds later, Gawain and his longsword transformed into lightning, slicing directly across the Shiki's body!
Sizzle!!!
After a sharp sound, Gawain appeared behind the Shiki in the blink of an eye, while the Shiki stomped his foot hard without turning his head!
At the same time, Gawain swiftly thrust his sword forward, aiming straight for the Shiki's shoulder blade!
In an instant, a surge of mud and sand swept up from the ground beside Gawain, instantly blocking the Shiki's path.
Looking at the wall that suddenly appeared in front of him, Gawain curled his lip, then suddenly raised his sword and slashed upwards.
Instantly, boundless sword energy surged from Gawain's hand, cleaving the sand and stone barrier in front of him in two!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Shiki turned around quickly and kicked out his right leg horizontally at the same time.
With a sharp glint of the Great Grade Swords Oto, Shiki grinned.
"Celestial Dragon, hahaha!!!"
Clang!!!
Their swords clashed again. This time, Gawain, who was poised to strike, used all his strength to push and shove the Shiki's sword and himself away into the distance!
While repelling the Shiki, Gawain responded coldly.
"So what if Celestial Dragon? What are you trying to say?!"
"Tch... Hahahaha!!!"
Upon hearing Gawain's words, the Shiki used the Kogarashi to push off the ground, stopping his retreat.
Then he laughed loudly and said...
"It's not like I haven't seen Celestial Dragon before!"
But you...
This guy calls himself Celestial Dragon???
Hahahaha!!!
Amidst the loud laughter, the Shiki suddenly leaped up, his right foot braced against Oto 'Gawain blade, while his left Kogarashi spun wildly in the air!
He suddenly made a downward chopping motion like a battle axe, then shouted in a cold voice.
"Chop Wave!"
Wow!!!
As he spoke, his left foot traced a crescent-shaped path, unleashing an extremely powerful surge of sword energy!
Seeing the sword energy so close at hand, Gawain didn't move an inch, and his body split in two!
A moment later, the Shiki's Chop Wave sword energy passed through the gap in Gawain's body that was still crackling with wisps of lightning!
A moment later, a massive fissure more than three kilometers long suddenly appeared on the ground beneath and behind Gawain!
The thick soil, like butter being cut by a hot knife, was pushed to both sides in the blink of an eye!
Looking at the cracked ground beneath him, Gawain spread his legs and stepped onto the edge of the crack.
With his legs slightly apart, Gawain shook his head.
"What a pity, tsk tsk, just by watching those two sword strikes, I can imagine just how excellent a swordsman you must have been in the past!"
But, haha, although you still have the hand to wield the sword, you no longer have the heart to do so!
"Snort!!!"
As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Shiki shook his head dismissively.
"Where the sword is, there the swordsman is. Even Impel Down, where no one has ever escaped in a thousand years, cannot imprison my men!"
As for my legs, haha, do you think that by stepping on my legs with these two swords, I will lose the heart of a swordsman?!
The moment the words left his mouth, the Shiki's twin swords stomped on the ground, then rose into the air.
He gathered his strength in mid-air, and then his legs, along with his longsword, kicked toward Gawain in a chaotic yet rhythmic motion!
While kicking and swinging the sword on his leg, the Shiki roared at Gawain.
"Lion Thousand-Cut Valley!!!"
The instant he finished speaking, hundreds of sharp sword energies pierced the air and rushed towards Gawain!
Faced with the sword energy kicked by the Shiki, Gawain smiled first, then gently shook his head.
"Too slow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain leisurely took a step to the right, dodging the first sword strike.
Then, Rokumei Kotetsu upside down in his right hand, he leisurely strolled towards the direction of the Shiki, facing Thousand-Cut Valley.
Wow!
A Chop Wave swept across Gawain's cheek, and Gawain simply turned slightly to the side, letting the sword energy pass right in front of his straight nose.
Clang!
Another muffled thud, and three sword energies combined to form a net, which was difficult to dodge. So Gawain casually raised the Rokumei Kotetsu, first gently pushed it, and then casually blocked it.
Ding ding ding!!!
Countless sparks bloomed around Gawain, and with each flash of the sparks, Gawain collided with the unavoidable sword energy.
As for how he dodged the other hundreds of sword energies, it was as if a drunken, dashing young master was about to wander under the rising sun with a drunken gait, ready to recite the masterpiece he had just written!
To countless viewers, Gawain's movements were incredibly casual, unrestrained, and carefree.
But at this moment, only a very small number of people could focus their attention on Gawain.
Because right behind Gawain, every time the Shiki's Thousand-Cut Valley Sword Qi landed, it would create a giant rift at least two kilometers long.
Just as Gawain seemed to be strolling forward without hesitation, the land behind him was being split into countless pieces amidst the magnificent sword energy!
As for the Shiki, even he couldn't help but show a look of amazement at Gawain after he unleashed his final sword strike!
"Hahaha, what a freak like you is among the Celestial Dragon!"
"Damn it, take my Lion: Sky Splitter!!!"
With a roar, the Shiki leaped high into the air, then suddenly slashed down with its leg.
His Great Grade Swords, Oto, slammed down on Gawain like an axe splitting Gawain Mount Hua.
Facing the Shiki falling towards him from above, Gawain raised his right hand and blocked the last Thousand-Cut Valley sword energy.
Then, he gripped the sword with both hands and thrust it upwards sharply, while whispering a shout.
"Looks like you're really keen on showing off."
Since that's the case, how about we discuss it?
At this point, a powerful Armament Haki emanated from Gawain's wrist, instantly covering every part of Rokumei Kotetsu.
Immediately afterwards, Gawain grinned and roared.
"Right here, just you and me. If you are no match for me, then I will make sure all the islands you control, which are floating in the air, land safely around Loguetown."
Shiki!!!
Boom!!!
As soon as Gawain finished speaking, a loud bang, like a raging wave suddenly collapsing, suddenly appeared beside him.
Immediately afterwards, Gawain's pupils rapidly dilated into rings, and an invisible aura emanated from between his brows!
The first to change was Gawain's sword. In a short moment, the already black-glowing Rokumei Kotetsu was covered with a layer of black-gold light that looked like it was burning fiercely!
Following closely behind was the land surrounding Gawain. In an instant, a terrifying collapse suddenly occurred in the area where Gawain stepped and in the surrounding land with a diameter of about five kilometers!
This phenomenon bypassed every living being, but it completely turned even the buildings and mountains that the Shiki hadn't had time to destroy into dust!
Even Smoker, who was controlled by the Shiki and buried in the ground, and all the other civilians controlled near the square.
In that instant, the mud ball encasing them shattered completely, and they themselves fell to the ground one after another like dumplings being dropped into a pot!
As soon as he landed, Smoker struggled to his feet. He wanted to say something to Gawain, or perhaps he impulsively and recklessly joined forces with Gawain to fight the Shiki.
But the moment he stood up, before he could even take any action...
Buzz buzz buzz!!!
Suddenly, a chaotic yet resonant voice echoed in Smoker's mind!
A moment later, Smoker rolled his Byakugan decisively, then collapsed heavily onto the rapidly compacted soil with a thud.
At the same time, all the civilians who had just gained their freedom around them, just like Smoker, instantly lost consciousness one after another!
Just like the common people, there were also Den Den Mushi) Shiki. In just a moment, 99% of Den Den Mushi released by Shiki had lost consciousness and were no longer able to broadcast!
In every corner of the world, faced with the sudden interruption of the live broadcast, countless viewers unanimously cursed the Shiki's mother.
However, just a moment after the broadcast was interrupted, a new signal appeared again.
This time, however, the live stream's perspective changed from the battlefield near the Shiki to a commanding viewpoint overlooking the entire Loguetown!
On Onigashima Wano Country, Kaido's eyes widened in shock as he watched the broadcast!
"Hahaha, this must have been filmed on that old Shiki's Sky Island!"
So, that Celestial Dragon trash's Conqueror's Haki actually covered the entire Loguetown and its millions of civilians?!
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido excitedly took a big gulp of sake. After drinking it, he immediately called out to King beside him.
"Jin, bring that Yamato up here and let him see what a fight like this is all about!"
Lest that ignorant fool of his keeps talking about some trash like Oden as a hero!
At this point, even though he was drunk, Kaido instinctively showed a displeased expression.
Dissatisfied, Kaido muttered drunkenly.
"Oden, ha, what kind of hero is a piece of trash like him?"
Heroes... this world doesn't need any more heroes!!!
Hearing Kaido's drunken ramblings, King shook his head helplessly.
Then, Jhin turned his head to the side and said casually.
"Queen, bring His Highness from the prison."
"Hehe, I got it, um, Jack!"
Queen responded while calling out to the distance.
"I'm talking to you, Jack. If you want to be the All-Stars, you'd better do more work!"
"This task is entrusted to you. Bring that kid Yamato up here and let him broaden his horizons!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Queen glared at Jack with his chubby face. Seeing this, Jack could only nod dejectedly.
"I also want to see the Celestial Dragon Shiki fight!"
Ugh, really... I can't exactly go to Flying Six, can I...?
Frustrated, Jack ultimately obeyed the order to push one after another, and Luffy towards the prison!
Just as Jack left, the Visual Den Den Mushi Kaido was watching suddenly Air Spin!
In the footage he recorded, a surge of black and gold Conqueror's Haki swept across the entire Loguetown like a tsunami.
Immediately following, in the center of the Conqueror's Haki tsunami, Gawain forcefully raised his sword and thrust it upwards. The area around him seemed to be like a fountain tens of thousands of meters high, carrying an incomparably heavy Conqueror's Haki towards the Shiki falling from the sky!
Faced with such a powerful attack, the Shiki glared fiercely!
"This move, hahahahaha!"
This move is finally starting to look decent, Celestial Dragon brat!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Shiki's right leg, which had been slamming down, suddenly tensed up. A moment later, black and blue Conqueror's Haki rushed up to the longsword embedded in his leg!
In an instant, amidst the black and gold tsunami unleashed by Gawain, a Conqueror's Haki surged forth like a tranquil spring!
As for Shiki, he didn't care that his Conqueror's Haki had been completely suppressed by Gawain. He continued his unstoppable charge towards Gawain, stomping on Oto beneath his feet, his excitement reaching its peak!
On Onigashima, Jack the Drought transformed into a hurricane, bursting through the walls and returning to his room.
He left the bewildered Yamato behind and excitedly looked at the broadcast screen.
With just one glance, Jack roared to the sky with immense satisfaction!
"Luckily, I'm fast! Hahaha, I made it! I made it!!!"
At the same time, just as the bewildered Yamato instinctively looked at the screen...
In his eyes, the dark blue glimmer collided violently with the towering black and gold waves!
Immediately afterwards, between the dark blue and dark gold lights, a pure, indescribable black sphere of light, seemingly capable of devouring everything, spun continuously between the two pitch-black swords.
And after this Haki, balloon-shaped rotation lasted only a few moments...
Wow!!!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!!
Crackling sound!!!
Neither the Loguetown the sky above it.
The heavens and earth seemed to be torn apart by those two confronting figures!!!
Seeing this unbelievable scene, Yamato stared wide-eyed in disbelief!
"What is that... what is that?!"
Even if I were Oden, I've never seen anything like this... Wait, I have!!!
Suddenly, Yamato's eyes lit up with immense joy, and she quickly muttered to herself!
"Oden's Journal, Volume 4, Page 102, the one that records the Battle of Edd War!"
That was the war between the dashing golden-haired Emperor of the Sea, Shiki, and my Oden, the Pirate King Roger!!!
That's right, it was this battle. That old man with blond hair may have a ship's wheel on his head, but he is indeed the Shiki!
And the one fighting against the Shiki right now, the one who can unleash such a kingly aura, must be my captain, Oden's captain, the legendary Pirate King Roger!!!
As soon as she finished speaking, Yamato knelt on the ground, her hands on her knees, leaning forward, greedily watching every detail of the Den Den Mushi being relayed!
While watching, Yamato resolutely kept repeating it!
"I, Oden... have finally seen my captain again!!!"
Kaido old scoundrel, let me go! I need to find my captain, I need to find Roger!!!
"Get this damn Seastone chain off my hands, you bastard!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yamato stood up abruptly and glared menacingly at Kaido.
Kaido, after briefly pressing his aching chest with his left hand, gritted his teeth, grabbed his spiked Hassaikai, and slowly walked towards Yamato!
As he walked, Kaido growled in a sinister tone, fueled by alcohol.
"Oden... Oden, even after witnessing firsthand the strongest Conqueror's Haki user in the World's Strongest, you still... keep calling me Oden!!!"
At this point, Kaido suddenly raised the Hassaikai, and immediately, endless lightning, Haki, and Haki converged on his spiked club.
The next moment, Kaido frowned and muttered a prayer.
"Raimei Hakke!!!"
Boom!!!
Yamato only stayed for a moment before Kaido swept her from Onigashima all the way to Kabukicho in Wano Country with a single blow...
Meanwhile, in Loguetown, the standoff between Gawain and the Shiki lasted for a full half minute.
And beneath their feet, the entire Loguetown suddenly seemed to shrink by three stories!
Then, crackling sounds!
To the delight of Den Den Mushi and all the viewers, a rift suddenly appeared out of nowhere, splitting open and running through the entire island of Loguetown!
As Gawain and the Shiki's standoff continued, the crack spread wider and wider...
During the standoff, the Shiki pressed his legs down tightly while coldly surveying the surrounding land.
"Wow, the strength of young people is truly enviable!"
"Snort!"
Upon hearing this, Gawain gave a light snort, then quickly surveyed the surrounding battlefield.
As his battle with the Shiki continued, the people of Loguetown who were lucky enough to survive were almost overwhelmed!
Seeing this, Gawain abruptly withdrew his longsword, Rokumei Kotetsu immediately clashed solidly with Oto, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.
Immediately afterwards, Gawain's body transformed into a bolt of lightning, and his giant hand made of lightning gripped the Shiki's neck tightly!
Sensing the tightness around his neck, the Shiki gritted his teeth and his legs began to spin wildly.
Watching the Shiki's chaotic sword strikes imbued with heavy Armament Haki, Gawain let out a low snort, then forcefully hurled the Shiki into the sky!
Whoosh!
The Shiki broke the sound barrier in the blink of an eye as it flew backwards, rapidly adjusting its posture as it did so!
At the same time, Gawain, though behind, struck first, landing punch after punch on the arm that Shiki was using to block.
After three or five punches, the Shiki flew backwards for more than ten kilometers before crashing heavily into the bottom of the island he controlled!
As the Shiki's body disappeared into the thick mud, Gawain was relentless. He transformed into lightning, passed through the mud, grabbed the Shiki by the neck, and pushed him all the way through the floating Sky Island, fighting his way from below the Sky Island to above it!
Boom!!!
After breaking through the ground, the Shiki quickly opened his eyes. When he saw the familiar island terrain under his control, he grabbed Gawain's wrists with both hands and roared at Gawain wildly.
"Hahaha, is this the start of a new round!"
I love this kind of battle! I haven't fought such an exhilarating battle in nineteen years!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, he violently tore at Gawain's right hand, forcing Gawain to let go of him.
Just as he was about to grab Gawain's arm and swing him around, Gawain completely dissipated into lightning and disappeared from beside the Shiki in the blink of an eye!
Meanwhile, high above the floating Sky Island in the distance, Shiki swiftly took control of its body and began to float in the air.
With a flick of his right hand, Gawain's coat instantly flew off, and the buttons and ornaments on his coat quickly disintegrated and gathered back into Gawain hand!
Gently raising his right arm, the fluttering metal gradually took shape in Gawain's palm, then began to spin at an indescribable speed.
At the same time, Gawain extended his right hand toward the Shiki and smiled.
"Di Jiang."
In that instant, Gawain's right hand suddenly transformed into the shape of a pistol, while the rapidly spinning metal came to a frantic halt in front of Gawain's index finger.
After aiming at the Shiki from afar, Gawain gently flicked his thumb, and the rapidly spinning metal instantly became like a wild horse, tearing through time and space while stirring up endless air currents and Inazuma, rushing towards the Shiki whose eyes were slightly wide open!
Facing Gawain's attack, Shiki glared and put his hands in front of him.
"Lion's Might - Imperial Palace Grounds...!!!"
Pfft!!!
Before the Shiki could finish speaking, a shattering sound came from his chest!
At that moment, blood gushed from the Shiki's mouth. As he coughed up blood, he quickly regained control of his body.
Right before Gawain's eyes, the Shiki's hair rapidly faded, replaced by the rapid healing of the bloody hole in its chest!
At the same time, the Shiki clenched his fists and finally shouted out his words.
"Shishiwei·Gosho Scroll!!!"
The instant he finished speaking, the enormous floating Sky Island behind him and beneath him, comparable to Loguetown, was suddenly torn apart by a dazzling bolt of lightning into dozens of fragments that flew away in all directions!
Just as it was collapsing, the shattered island hadn't flown very far before it was summoned back by the power of the Float-Float Fruit, and then transformed into dozens of enormous lions!
Those lions, each far taller than the mountains and averaging over a thousand meters in height, charged towards Gawain in unison!
Looking at the roaring lion so close at hand, Gawain frowned and chuckled softly.
"Haven't you ever fought a speedster before, Shiki?"
How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? Your moves are too slow. They're really too slow...?!
Suddenly, Gawain stopped talking, then couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly!
In the distance, the Shiki revealed a satisfied, blood-stained smile, and then made a fist gesture towards Gawain!
As the Shiki moved, a dozen or so smaller lions, each only about four hundred meters tall, suddenly rushed out from among the giant sand lions surrounding Gawain.
The lion cubs themselves are nothing special, but what's important is that these lion cubs are entirely made of seawater!
At this very moment, these small lions made of seawater have spread out and completely surrounded Gawain Pirates!
Even with Gawain's Observation Haki, he couldn't find any gaps in the encirclement of those seawater!
The seawater was filled with Seastone Factor, so even if it was conductive, Gawain couldn't possibly break through the encirclement head-on.
So Gawain calmly drew the Rokumei Kotetsu his waist, raised the sword with both hands and slashed down fiercely. The unparalleled sword energy immediately rushed towards the seawater, tearing a huge hole in the seawater!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gawain drew his sword and rushed through the empty window towards the sinister-looking Shiki.
Seeing Gawain attack imminent, Shiki sneered and forcefully pulled his clenched fist into his chest!
Instantly, the surging seawater transformed back into lions, chasing after Gawain and charging towards the Shiki himself.
Gawain was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, he reached the sea before it could Rokumei Kotetsu the Shiki and slashed at it on the shoulder.
But after achieving his goal with a single strike, the Shiki gripped the sword tightly with his muscles, determined to get injured so that the seawater would chase after Gawain!
Seeing the Shiki's resolute determination, Gawain drew his sword back fiercely with both hands, his blade even rubbing against the Shiki's bones, creating dazzling sparks.
After drawing his longsword, Gawain retreated more than 800 meters in the blink of an eye, while the Shiki was completely surrounded by the thick seawater!
Of course, the Shiki himself wouldn't sink into the seawater; he simply used the seawater to create a protective barrier for himself after his attack proved ineffective!
Within this device, Gawain, also Devil Fruit User, would find it difficult to use Rumble-Rumble Fruit's extreme speed to break through to the Shiki.
Seeing this, Gawain frowned slightly, then raised his sword and unleashed a cross slash!
After the Shiki blocked the cross-shaped sword energy with his twin swords, the two of them seemed to have flipped a switch, releasing overwhelming sword energy at each other from a distance of more than 800 meters!
Not only sword energy, Gawain also manipulated lightning and metal, repeatedly charging at the Shiki across the sea.
As for Shiki, he's already doing quite well to be able to protect himself in front of Gawain. He just keeps parrying and letting Gawain unleash his attacks.
Time passed by, second by second. In the Den Den Mushi's view, the floating islands in the sky seemed to flutter and swirl like ink splashed by an artist.
The clanging sound of their swords clashing was the only sound the audience could clearly hear.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes.
More than two hours later, the clashing sword energies in the air did not stop colliding!
Just then, a golden light flashed across the sky at the edge of the battlefield!
The golden light stopped in the distance between Gawain and Shiki in the blink of an eye. Watching the two fighting tooth and nail with their sword energy, Kizaru emerged from the golden light and then smiled lazily.
"How terrifying! Have you been competing like this all along?"
"In that case, let me break the balance of this battle!"
At this point, Kizaru suddenly crossed his arms, and millions of golden blades appeared out of thin air in front of him.
As for Kizaru, he simply said in a soft voice.
"If you want to test your physical strength, then let me kick him too."
After all, even someone like me, a Marine, can't forget the disaster you inflicted on Marineford nineteen years ago, Shiki!!!
The moment the words left his mouth, Kizaru spread his arms wide and roared fiercely.
"The Yasakani no Magatama!!!"
"Yellow Masira!"
"Borsalino!!!"
The instant Kizaru joined the battle, Shiki and Gawain simultaneously roared at Kizaru.
At the same time, Shiki swung his hands fiercely, and countless giant lions charged towards Kizaru!
Immediately afterwards, Gawain also clenched his fist, and then slammed it into the air, while the sky was instantly obscured by thick dark clouds.
Then, countless bolts of lightning descended from the thunderclouds, striking Kizaru's Yasakani no Magatama one by one. The endless lightning and the magatama shattered one after another amidst a deafening noise!
Seeing this, Kizaru's eyebrows furrowed in a lewd manner.
"Well, Saint Gawain doesn't want me to participate in the war either. It seems that the battle with the Shiki has brought Your Highness enough joy, tsk tsk."
At this point, Kizaru shrugged indifferently, then smirked and smiled.
"In that case, I'll go check on the common people of Loguetown, after all..."
"Navy!!!"
Suddenly, the Shiki, who had been locked in a stalemate with Gawain for a long time, seemed to remember something.
Suddenly, he pressed his hands down hard.
As he made this gesture, Shiki roared at Kizaru, each word distinct and heavy with breath.
"I almost forgot, hehehehe, I came here to bring you enough pain!"
I almost forgot the most important thing!!!
As Shiki said this, the remaining intact floating Sky Island behind him—those undamaged by his battle with Gawain —suddenly crashed towards Loguetown!
The floating Sky Island descended at an extremely fast speed; in a short moment, the bottoms of more than a dozen floating Sky Island were already ablaze!
Looking at the countless islands that had suddenly appeared, Gawain gritted his teeth and then shouted at Kizaru.
"Damn it, your arrival has broken the unspoken agreement between me and the Shiki!"
The thing I least wanted to happen has finally happened!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain stretched out his arms wide, and behind him, an infinitely huge image of Gawain made of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky behind him.
Although this giant appears somewhat hollow, it is exceptionally large; in terms of height alone, this giant is probably around ten thousand meters tall!
Immediately afterward, Gawain, enduring the soreness and fatigue between his eyebrows, roared at Kizaru.
"By now, the battle is meaningless; the Shiki is already at his last gasp."
The most important thing now is how to safely rescue the remaining civilians in Loguetown as the floating Sky Island crashes down!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain stretched out his right hand, and behind him, the towering lightning giant stretched out his hands and caught a floating Sky Island in his hands!
At the same time, Gawain continued speaking, his eyes bloodshot.
"It's really unfortunate that I'm still a little short of that level. If I were to fully Awakening, I might be able to use electromagnetic force to keep all the islands suspended in the air."
But now, a mere island has already made me..."
"Wait, sir!"
Looking at the Thunder Giant struggling to support the entire island behind Gawain, Kizaru smiled lewdly, then gently opened his arms.
"My esteemed Gawain, before I even arrive, on behalf of the Navy and the World Government, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your protection of Loguetown."
But once I arrive, tsk tsk, if there are any further losses here, it will all be on my shoulders!
At this point, Kizaru suddenly transformed into a flash of light, appearing gracefully beneath the remaining floating Sky Island that Gawain could no longer control.
Watching the island hurtling down overhead, Kizaru gave a helpless smirk.
"My small frame can't handle such a big responsibility. Even if I gave up all my future wages, it wouldn't be enough."
So... hehe.
Kizaru, hands in his pockets, glanced disdainfully at the falling island, then uttered a soft shout.
"Glitter Devil Fruit Awakening: Amaterasu's Glory!!!"
The instant he finished speaking, Kizaru stomped on the air and charged towards the dozen or so islands.
Immediately afterwards, Kizaru assumed a kicking stance, then transformed into a streak of light, slamming his leg into the base of the nearest island!
In just a moment, his flying kick, along with his beam of light, pierced through one island and then crashed into another!
After Kizaru passed through all the floating Sky Island, he stood high in the sky, arms outstretched, and said with a smile.
"Gawain, although what I uphold is a kind of ambiguous justice that many people may not like."
But do you know what ambiguity means?
Ambiguity means that something can be done whenever the situation truly requires it.
"Then even I can transform into the sun!!!"
As Borsalino spoke, the islands beneath him, which he had just kicked through, suddenly emitted a dazzling light from the inside out, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at them!
Facing the blinding light, Gawain clearly saw that the islands that should have been a major problem, including the one he was holding in his Thunder Avatar, were all rapidly turning into light particles!
It seems like a fleeting moment, or perhaps an eternity.
In short, just after Gawain blinked briefly, the dozen or so islands controlled by the Shiki completely collapsed into scattered points of light, which slowly fell towards Loguetown below!
Meanwhile, at the top of the sky, Kizaru gave a weary grin.
"Wow, it's been so long since I've been this serious."
As expected of the Shiki, wow, how terrifying!
Just as Kizaru finished speaking, Gawain suddenly noticed something and roared at Kizaru.
"Wait, Borsalino, there are also a considerable number of civilians on the floating Sky Island controlled by the Shiki!"
That's right, at the very moment Gawain shouted, hundreds of thousands of people who originally lived on the floating islands were now falling to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot!
Looking at the figures around him, Kizaru, who had been feeling quite pleased with himself, was slightly taken aback, and then his expression tightened.
"What?!?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sarutobi transformed into light particles, desperately trying to catch the falling people, but even he couldn't save too many!
Then, a moment later, Gawain raised his hand and reached for the sky.
At the same time, everyone who was falling felt a sharp pain in their body, and then they suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Meanwhile, Gawain, who was desperately trying to stop the people by using the extremely weak bioelectricity in each of their bodies, lost almost ninety percent of his strength in a very short moment.
Looking at the person floating in the air, Gawain roared coldly.
"Get down there!!!"
As he spoke, hundreds of thousands of civilians in the surrounding air plummeted at a speed far exceeding what they had just experienced.
Just as the civilians were about half a meter from the ground, they suddenly stopped again, then completely lost control, falling from a height of half a meter onto the desolate Loguetown.
Gawain quickly raised his sleeve and wiped away the blood flowing from his nose.
Then he coldly glanced at the Shiki lying on the first broken floating island in the distance, desperately panting and trying to regain his strength.
Seemingly noticing Gawain's gaze, the Shiki wearily sat up, then stood up again, waving his hand at Gawain one last time.
"Lion's Might - Heaven's Palace!!!"
Just after he finished speaking, he was completely surrounded by the last torrent of floating islands that he had been controlling.
Immediately afterwards, he and the floating islands surrounding him slammed together in Gawain's direction!
Looking at the Heavenly Palace flying towards him, which resembled a great river.
Gawain raised his leg with a cold face!
Behind him, the ten-thousand-meter-tall thunder giant suddenly dissipated, and then endless lightning coalesced into a blurry leg shape, which kicked towards the overwhelming floating palace!
Boom!!!
A moment later, the thunderous giant foot slammed down and shattered the Heavenly Palace, exposing the Shiki protected by the palace to the air.
At the same time, Gawain lightly stepped on the air with his left foot and instantly flashed above the Shiki!
Facing the Shiki, who wore a maniacal grin and spread his arms wide, exposing his chest.
Gawain's right leg tightened, and he uttered a soft shout.
"Kui Niu!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Gawain suddenly executed an Eagle Stomp, appearing in front of the Shiki in the blink of an eye, his right foot firmly planted in the center of the Shiki's chest!
Strangely, at that moment, Gawain and Shiki seemed to have stopped in time, and they remained suspended in the air for a fleeting instant.
Until the very next instant, high in the sky, the giant thunder foot that had just shattered the Heavenly Palace suddenly transformed into a hoof shape and stomped down heavily from the thunderclouds once more!
At that very moment, in the next instant, that enormous thunderous hoof finally descended upon the spot where Gawain's right foot had been waiting for so long!
Without making a sound, and without anyone seeing any trace of them, even Kizaru only saw that Gawain and Shiki had vanished completely in an instant!
Immediately afterward, the poor Visual Den Den Mushi, which was still in the air and hadn't even landed yet, and with no one to rescue it, miraculously managed to capture the last frame!
At this very moment, everyone around the world who is still watching the live stream sees it with crystal clarity.
After the last streak of lightning disappeared from the sky...
A gigantic mushroom cloud suddenly rose from the ruins of Loguetown!!!
Just as the mushroom cloud refused to dissipate for a long time, the Den Den Mushi was completely stunned by the subsequent vibrations.
Whether it's Kaido, Whitebeard, or even Big Mom and Red-Haired Shanks.
They all let out a sigh of despair.
Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise, watching the final live broadcast, the Five Elders couldn't help but exchange glances, and then the Elder of Economy was the first to applaud with satisfaction.
The Elder of Economy clapped and smiled.
"Truly worthy of being our descendants, truly worthy of being children of Mary Geoise!"
Regarding Gawain in this battle, I can only offer one comment.
Well done!!!
