Ding ding ding ding!!!
The clanging of metal sounded like a percussion piece, constantly vibrating in Gawain's ears.
His hands were already starting to tire, but fortunately, the enemy opposite him looked even more exhausted.
Furthermore, that enemy was very impatient!
"Damn man, you took my child away, you robbed me of a part of my life and soul!"
No, it's two parts!!!
Boom!
The Shusui blocked Napoleon's attack, and the violent shockwave caused a new wave of mud to rise from the already subsided land!
"You damned devil! Your mother actually wanted you to be her husband? She misjudged you!"
And those damned Zeus and Prometheus, how dare they betray their mother! How could they betray their mother!
After I cut off your head, I'll continue hacking them all to death!!!
The sword held by the Big Mom was clearly no pushover either; as she slashed, she kept cursing and swearing!
Hearing the constant noise around him, Gawain wrinkled his nose in annoyance.
Indeed, talking weapons might be interesting when they're in your own hands, but they're absolutely disgusting when they're in the enemy's!
The game is scary enough, but the real world is a million times more disgusting!
With a frown, Gawain raised his Shusui wide. Above his head, thunderclouds gradually swirled into Uzumaki, with Gawain's figure gathering strength at the center.
Seeing Gawain's increased momentum, the Big Mom flicked her thick tongue and sneered.
"So they're about to unleash their true power, damn Celestial Dragon!"
Having said that, she lifted Napoleon with both hands and suddenly focused her gaze on the sky.
A moment later, she raised the knife high in her hand and roared.
"The Spear of Elbaf - Ikoku Sovereignty!!!"
"Heh, interesting, a giant's fighting technique?"
Gawain sneered, then subtly changed his posture. The thunderclouds in the sky quickly swayed, and Gawain's Conqueror's Haki was unleashed in a frenzied burst!
Swish swish swish!!!
An invisible shockwave emanated from Gawain, spreading outwards in all directions in waves.
Within a five-kilometer radius, all the refugees from Wano Country who were hiding in crevices or even underground collapsed to the ground.
The dust around was swept away in the blink of an eye, followed by the nearby sand and gravel.
Layer upon layer of soil surged into the distance like waves, instantly transforming the area where Gawain and the Big Mom were fighting into a deep basin.
Sensing Gawain's imposing aura, the Big Mom widened her eyes slightly.
"What a frenzied Conqueror's Haki! Hahahaha!"
He truly is the last man I chose!
Although you have done countless things that have angered me, I will forgive your mistakes and bestow upon you the reward of bearing children with me if you are willing to marry me!
But that's all for the future. For now, let's face this Ikoku Sovereignty!
Buzzing!!!
The Napoleon in the Big Mom's hand was enveloped in boundless Conqueror's Haki, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into the shape of a spear. The spear was getting closer and closer to Gawain!
Facing one of the Big Mom's signature moves, Gawain gripped Shusui tightly with his right hand, while his left hand quietly drew the Rokumei Kotetsu he always wore at his waist!
A moment later, Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki simultaneously covered the two blades. Gawain instantly drew his sword, and the trajectories of his two swords were completely different!
From a distance, the two strikes looked almost as if they were made by the same person, as if two powerful one-armed men had each slashed at them!
In the distance, watching Gawain's actions, the Big Mom's brows furrowed sharply!
Others might not know, but the Big Mom was all too familiar with Gawain's movements!
At this moment, Gawain's aura, following his two hands, split into two distinct streams. These two streams of aura swirled around Gawain, gradually becoming perfectly harmonious in the process!
At the same time, Gawain lunged forward, letting out a soft shout.
"Of course you'll recognize this move, and I think you should be looking forward to it!"
"Elbaph Spear - Nation Conqueror!!!"
"Damn it, where did you learn that move?!"
Clang!!!
Gawain's twin swords finally collided with Big Mom's blade, and like a resounding bell, the entire population of Wano Country was stunned for a moment.
Hearing this loud bang from afar, Kaido was being pinned to the ground and wildly whipping his tail by Mihawk, was jolted awake!
"Ikoku Sovereignty, huh? She actually used that trick! Is that bastard Gawain really that strong?!"
"Ha, you actually have the mind to pay attention to other battlefields while fighting me."
It seems I haven't put enough pressure on you!
Mihawk's expression remained unchanged, but his tone carried a hint of disgust. He easily dodged a tail whip attack, then suddenly unleashed his Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, wielding his Black Blade Yoru as he charged at Kaido's chest!
Mihawk glanced coldly at the X-shaped scar on Kaido's chest, pursed his lips, and slashed out with his sword.
He has never had any special moves named, and unlike romantic swordsmen like Zoro, he doesn't have the tedious habit of reciting poetry.
What appeared to be a simple swing of the knife was actually quite sophisticated.
In an instant, his figure slid from the neck of Kaido's dragon form all the way down to Kaido's chest and abdomen!
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Even Kaido let out a deafening scream at this moment, and now a huge scar over 120 meters long appeared on his body!
Although the blade of Black Blade Night is only about 1.7 meters long, the depth of Mihawk's slash far exceeds that distance.
At first glance, Kaido's chest was torn open, revealing a deep, canyon-like chasm. Even through the edge of this chasm, one could vaguely see Kaido's violently pounding heart!
Tread!
With a soft thud, Mihawk landed gracefully on the ground, shook his coat slightly, and then gently adjusted his hat.
For the strong, clothes are neither a burden nor merely a means to project an image of superiority.
The reason for using a small amount of extra Armament Haki to maintain appearances is precisely to prove that I have the strength and skill to completely suppress my opponent!
As the feathers on Mihawk's hat swayed gently, Kaido crashed to the ground with a thud.
Before his body could create more trenches in the ground, he had already abandoned the Azure Dragon's form and revealed his original shape!
In his human form, Kaido has a huge, straight wound on his chest that is over 220 centimeters long.
The wound even tore open Kaido's sternum, exposing his heart and lungs to the air!
Feeling the pain in his chest, a deathly intent appeared in Kaido's eyes, but it vanished completely in a moment, replaced by boundless excitement and confidence!
"This is so funny, haha, it's really hilarious!"
After so many years, I finally tasted the flavor of death!
The taste even frightened me for a moment, but it only made me more excited, because the only thing that could defeat me was the legendary Joy Boy!
As for you, haha!
Dracule Mihawk, you don't think you'll be the one to bear that title, do you?
So even though I am severely injured, I will ultimately prevail. I am already looking forward to the feeling of being on the verge of defeat, but ultimately turning the tide!
At this point, Kaido's body ignited with boundless Conqueror's Haki.
Amidst the raging flames, he turned to his left and grabbed all the gourds of wine he could find.
The battlefield had become much more dilapidated; only the various underground warehouses that had been destroyed could still be found with alcohol.
Kaido went to great lengths to search, and Mihawk didn't stop him, because Mihawk was still hoping that Kaido would deliver an even better answer!
After about a minute, Kaido finally gathered all the sake he wanted. He then sat down on the battlefield with an air of nonchalance and arrogantly poured the sake into his stomach.
Across from him, Mihawk, holding the Black Blade Yoru in one hand, looked at Kaido a cold smile.
"He's quite confident, huh."
Do you believe that the only person who could defeat you is a legendary figure from history... someone who has long since vanished into the annals of time?
The legend of Joy Boy has long faded; such a person no longer exists.
So, Kaido, what you said before was nothing more than your final promise to yourself!
"Haha, you saw right through me, Mihawk!!!"
Upon hearing Mihawk's words, Kaido drunk, stood up and leaned on his spiked club.
As he felt the growing numbness and pain in his chest, he pulled off his belt.
He casually wrapped the belt around his chest, tightening it tightly around his slightly flared wound.
Kaido held his breath, the muscles in his chest twitching rapidly before barely managing to come together.
Black mist lingered around the wound, preventing Kaido fully recovering. Clearly, even if Kaido survives, he will have a scar on his chest that is far more severe than the Oden left behind!
After doing all this, Kaido cold laugh and exclaimed in admiration.
"As expected of you, you truly are an opponent who can put pressure on me."
Those trash controlled by fate who hear my words will all think that I am manipulated by fate and destined to be defeated by a man named Joy Boy.
But for people like you and me who control their own destiny, after we hear our own conversation...
We understand better than anyone else that it's not that I believe I'm destined to be defeated by some Joy Boy!
Only those who defeat Lao Tzu can become mythical heroes like Joy Boy!
This is Lao Tzu's gift to the strongman who defeated me; he gave me the stimulation I wanted, and I give him the fame he deserves!
More importantly, hahaha!
By elevating... by elevating Lao Tzu's enemies, even after Lao Tzu's death, his name and his pursuits can continue to be passed down through new legends!
Moreover, Joy Boy is already dead, so... so...
"I am invincible!!!"
As he spoke, Kaido's eyes gradually became glazed over, and his body swayed slightly.
As he swayed, Kaido said one last thing.
"It's not that we are going to be defeated by fate, but that even fate is something we bestow upon us!"
The reason we become stronger is so that even in defeat, we can still have maximum control over our own destiny, you bastard!
The Drunken Dragon Bagua - Three Realms... May he summon that damn Naraku!!!
"Go to hell, take this fucking powerful spiked club!"
"Ha ha!!!"
Facing Kaido at this moment, Mihawk finally revealed a serious expression.
After being overwhelmed by two monsters working together, Kaido was still able to fight to this extent, demonstrating his true strength and earning Mihawk's respect.
He gripped the Black Blade in the night, his eyes growing increasingly sharp and fierce.
From a distance, Kaido's aura resembles a soaring dragon, while Mihawk's presence is like a swooping eagle!
No, not just eagles!
It's more like a roc that can lie still for 30,000 years, then soar to the ninth heaven in a single movement; when full, it drinks the waters of all four seasons; when hungry, it devours everything in the three realms!
And since Roc feeds on dragons, Kaido just happens to be Mihawk's prey right now!!!
Within Wano Country, as Kaido's Conqueror's Haki expanded in his desperate situation, a tragic atmosphere continued to spread.
In the distance, Jin, sensing this aura, suddenly widened his eyes.
"My older brother...?!?"
With a surprised exclamation, Jin suddenly broke free from his opponent!
In an attempt to break free from the Kuma's grasp, Jhin's wings were violently grabbed by the Kuma!
Crack!
With a sharp crack, Jin's wing snapped off at the root, and his blood spurted into the air, but that only accelerated his sprint.
A moment later, Jhin completely shook off the Kuma and rushed into the dust-covered ruins of Onigashima!
Watching Jin's retreating figure, Kuma paused for a moment, then suddenly chased after him.
As he chased, he threw away the two bleeding wings he was holding.
"I'd rather lose my wings than not break through, so what exactly are you going to do!"
Is there anything else that you think could change the current situation on the battlefield?
As soon as he finished speaking, the Kuma slammed heavily into the dust near the ashes.
With a gentle pat of his right hand, as the dust settled, Kuma glanced Miss Monday.
In his eyes, the Dark Bird Ship army on Wano Country was suffering repeated defeats. Faced with the combined forces of the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates, the Dark Bird Ship was overwhelmed and was almost reduced to guarding the main Dark Bird Ship.
But in the world of the strong...
Even Issho and Gion, who were still recovering from their injuries and guarding the ship, did not join the fight.
The combination of the Shichibukai Dark Bird Ship of the Sea, the Blackbird, and Gawain, Mihawk, and Rayleigh is already capable of perfectly withstanding the power of two Emperor-level pirate crews!
Thinking this, Kuma silently reached out his hand, glancing at Jin as he did so.
Jin's clothes were torn, and his mask was shattered. He had a face that resembled that of a Greek god, and he gave a bitter smile to the Kuma.
"Bartholomew, you are a guy who is greatly underestimated by the world."
I could even sense that you weren't using your full strength in our fight!
If a more suitable time were given, I would certainly be willing to maintain my form and give you one last challenge!
But now, I'm very sorry!
Even if I lose my own wings, I must give wings to Brother Kaido!
Only his dream deserves to soar to the heavens across the vast ocean, and I must help my elder brother fly higher and farther!!!
At this point, Jin suddenly pressed the button on the blood-soaked Den Den Mushi in his arms.
As he moved, a mirror suddenly bulged out from where he had stopped!
Having long considered that even the combined might not be able to defeat the King of the Dark Bird Ship, they secretly hid two mirrors on Onigashima that would not be easily destroyed by war.
As for his action of pressing the Den Den Mushi.
That naturally means calling for a special woman!
At the same time, on the other side, Kuma's expression suddenly tightened.
"One wasn't enough, so you made two; two still weren't enough, and now you want to team up with a third emperor?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kuma's right hand viciously grabbed at Jin's constantly falling body.
But just as the Kuma's hand was about to land on Ember...
A rapier was gently placed against the Kuma's Paw-Paw!
"Haha, looks like everyone's having a lot of fun."
Let me see... Wow, Gawain is really something. I'm afraid we're no match for you now, Bartholomew."
Before he arrived, his voice came first; Shanks' deep yet remarkably carefree voice echoed from the mirror.
While making a joke, he bent down slightly and then stepped out of the mirror.
Behind him, Lucky Roux made a sarcastic remark.
"Captain, this mirror is so big, you shouldn't need to bend over, right?"
"Haha, isn't that just showing respect for the special passage? I really envy Linlin for having such a useful strategic Devil Fruit!"
At this point, Shanks turned to Kuma and smiled gently.
With his laughter, an invisible Conqueror's Haki instantly expanded, covering a considerable area in the monster's battlefield in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, he looked at the silent, calm, and composed Kuma in front of him.
Shanks nodded politely.
"It seems that Kaido's pirate crew has been almost completely destroyed by you."
Having reached this point, shouldn't that be enough to achieve the publicity results Gawain wanted?
The power of the sea still needs a short period of balance. When I made the agreement with Gawain, I really didn't expect him to develop so quickly.
In any case, now that I've arrived on this battlefield...
"Then, for my sake, let this war end completely right now!!!"
