Stussy's Objective! Conflict Erupts! A Sudden Attack!

Although she was getting older and her strength had declined significantly, and she no longer had the ability to take action herself, she could only stand on the sidelines and watch. But as long as Weevil was present, the outcome of this match was already predetermined in her eyes.

On the battlefield, the suppression continues.

Every swing of Weevil's knife and every punch he threw generated terrifying wind pressure and shockwaves.

The entire beach was constantly cracking and collapsing, and sandstorms obscured the view.

Luffy unleashed his rubber-gum technique several times, his punches landing on his opponent's body, but he could only shake him and couldn't inflict any effective damage.

Zoro unleashed a series of slashes, striking Weevil's powerful body. Most of them were blocked by his taut muscles and faint Haki, making it difficult to break through his defenses.

In the opening moves, the Straw Hat Pirates was completely suppressed and confined to a defensive zone, forced to dodge, block, and pull, their rhythm entirely dictated by the opponent's brute force.

But no one panicked, and no one backed down.

In the back-and-forth of offense and defense, everyone's state was subtly changing.

The initial casual attitude towards the challenge was completely abandoned, and everyone calmed down and took this tough battle seriously.

Zoro's breathing gradually calmed, and the sharpness in his eyes grew even more intense.

He no longer rushed into a direct attack, but fully unleashed his Observation Haki, precisely capturing every flaw in Weevil's every move. The slight deviation of his opponent's left foot when it landed, the minor hesitation in his shoulder when he swung his sword—all of these were firmly etched in his mind.

"His brute strength is indeed top-notch, but his movements are too rigid."

Zoro gave a low, cold shout, his wrist holding the sword slightly twisting, the aura of the Three-Sword Style quietly rising, and the chilling pressure of the sword gradually locking onto the battlefield.

On the other side, Sanji patted the dust off his shoulder, a fierce smile curving his lips.

The flames around him grew even more intense. He no longer charged blindly. His footwork was agile and elusive. He would deliberately time his attacks to strike the weak points in Weevil's old ankle injury during the gaps between his attacks. Every kick was precise and tricky, targeting the opponent's weak points to apply pressure.

Luffy also completely abandoned his playful attitude.

He planted his feet firmly on the sand, a slight pressure rippled around him, and quietly shifted into Gear Second, his skin flushing slightly.

The previously casual moves became swift and fierce, with rubber punches and rubber spring kicks striking in succession. Instead of brute force, the moves relied on extreme speed to constantly close in, harass, and restrain the opponent, tightly binding Weevil's rhythm.

The true encirclement had begun.

At the ship's side, Robin stood with calm eyes and his arms crossed over his chest.

Countless blue flower branches burst from the ground, spreading rapidly along the sand, quietly wrapping around Weevil's limbs and the hilt of his sword, attempting to restrict his giant weapon and massive body, and disrupt his tyrannical offensive rhythm.

Franky, at the stern, had finished charging. The blue light from his shoulder cannon surged, and a blazing ball of energy shot out, precisely striking Weevil's blind spot. This forced the Titan to raise his hand to block and interrupt his attack.

Usopp followed closely with long-range distraction, his specially made sniper bullets piercing the air one after another, precisely targeting Weevil's old scar on the back of his neck. He didn't aim to inflict serious damage, but rather to constantly disrupt and pressure the opponent, preventing him from exerting his full power.

The offensive and defensive situation quietly reversed.

Just minutes before, Weevil had been dominating the entire arena with his unparalleled strength, and no one could stop him. But gradually, he began to feel unprecedented constraints and pressure.

Every time he swung his sword, Luffy's incredible speed disrupted his rhythm;

Every close-range attack is met with a surprise attack from Sanji his weaknesses;

Each time he landed and exerted force, a slight stinging pain would come from the old injury in his left foot, causing his body to momentarily sway.

A flurry of flower branches entangled and bound him, while long-range artillery fire relentlessly suppressed and harassed him. Zoro's fierce slashes advanced layer by layer, closing in ever closer.

Weevil was still formidable, his brute strength still terrifying, but his attacks became increasingly sluggish, and his movements increasingly restrained.

The previously overwhelming and ferocious rhythm was completely disrupted, leaving them only able to passively defend and no longer able to actively suppress the Straw Hat Pirates.

The smile on Stussy's face, as he stood at the edge of the beach, gradually froze.

She watched helplessly as her strongest fighting force, which she relied on, went from being completely overwhelmed to gradually falling into a passive position, being surrounded and suppressed by this group of young pirates.

She couldn't understand how a monstrous giant with Whitebeard's bloodline, capable of overwhelming a fleet, could be so easily contained by a bunch of kids in such a short time.

In the center of the battlefield, Zoro's eyes were sharp, and his three long swords were poised to strike, their blades crisscrossing the entire beach.

That's enough.

A chilling shout echoed across the battlefield, definitively announcing the end of Weevil's winning streak.

In the center of the battlefield, Zoro's sword aura had reached its peak, the sharpness of his three swords intertwining into a cold light, and the next strike was about to crash down.

But at this critical moment, a muffled roar suddenly exploded above the horizon in the distant ocean.

Boom!!

A massive rock, nearly a hundred meters tall, was lifted into the air by some unknown force, accompanied by howling winds, and crashed straight towards the Thousand Sunny like a falling mountain.

The impact landed right on the deck; Nami, Usopp, and Franky were all still on the ship and had no time to evacuate completely.

"Watch out!" Luffy's pupils shrank, and he shouted at the top of his lungs.

With the situation urgent, Zoro had no time to worry about the long-awaited attack before him.

He twisted his wrist sharply, abandoning his fatal blow aimed at Weevil, and redirected all the sword energy around him. He then pushed off the sand with both feet and leaped into the air.

"Three-Sword Style, One Great Style, Three Thousand Great Worlds!!"

A dazzling silver slash Space Rend the air, the blade spreading into a giant crescent moon that slammed into the oncoming boulder.

Clang!

The deafening impact shook the entire deserted island, sending countless fragments of rock and debris flying like a torrential rain, and dust obscuring half the sky.

The hundred-meter-tall boulder was split in two by this strike, and the two massive rock halves rolled off the hull of the Thousand Sunny ship, crashing heavily into the nearshore sea and creating towering waves tens of meters high.

The crisis was barely averted.

At the very instant the boulder shattered, a wild, arrogant laugh, filled with undisguised arrogance, echoed down from the sky, resounding across the entire beach.

"Hahaha--! That was a fantastic fight!!"

Everyone looked up in unison at the source of the sound.

Beneath the distant clouds, a massive pirate ship broke free from the horizon and floated completely in mid-air.

The ship was massive and heavy, with more than a dozen cannons lined up on both sides of the hull. The pirate flag, which was flying high, fluttered in the wind. It was a replica of the lion head flag of Golden Lion Shiki, with a double sword pattern crossed below the lion head.
