Brothers United, the Two Brothers Battle Second Golden Lion
Stussy stood atop the reef, his gaze fixed on Luffy, calmly issuing commands and guiding Weevil to shift the focus of his attacks toward the Straw Hat Boy.
Zoro faced Rutneus alone, continuing to use his pulling and deflecting techniques to maneuver around him.
The three longswords clashed repeatedly with the opponent's jet-black Armament Haki- infused longsword, sparks flying everywhere.
Lute Ness unleashed his full power, his 1.7 billion bounty wielded with increasingly fierce and rapid strikes. Zoro could only rely on the force of his opponent's attacks to constantly dodge and weave, his arm already bearing several small cuts from the gusts of wind from the blades, gradually falling into a passive position.
Sanji ran back and forth, trying to stop the other Flying Pirates officers while constantly guarding against Weevil's indiscriminate wide-range attacks. He kept kicking with his feet, but he was still stretched thin.
The pressure on the defensive line of the Thousand Sunny at the rear increased sharply. Rock fragments flying everywhere and stray bullets exploding in the distance kept hitting the ship.
Franky activated his full-body defense system, Nami used all her strength to summon thunderclouds to bombard the charging enemies, Brook wielded his ice sword and darted back and forth, constantly slaying pirates who broke through the defenses, Usopp kept firing sniper bullets, Chopper went back and forth to rescue his wounded companions. Everyone was gritting their teeth and holding on.
The entire deserted island was shrouded in billowing smoke, and the nearshore waters were turbulent, with broken rocks and shattered ship fragments floating on the surface.
High in the white mist, Ace let out a low shout, and a huge pillar of fire shot into the sky, forcefully breaking through layers of rock.
Sabo seized the fleeting opening, shattering the flying rocks beneath his feet, and charged straight towards the Second Golden Lion like a black Inazuma.
Just as Sabo was about to get Setsuna, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Second Golden Lion, and the broken remains of the main peak of the entire island suddenly changed direction, pressing down on Ace and Sabo with immense force.
"Now—let's see where you can hide!"
A massive black shadow obscured the entire sky, and everyone on the ground instinctively looked up, a suffocating sense of oppression enveloping the entire area.
The violent roars rose one after another, the land on the island cracked open, and the sea near the shore churned endlessly. The earth-shattering sounds of the battle were not obstructed, and spread in all directions through the wind and waves.
Dozens of nautical miles from the deserted island, several passing pirate ships stopped their course.
On the deck of a large pirate ship, "the Mad Monk" Urouge stood with his arms crossed, looking up at the distant horizon where the sea and sky met, shrouded in bright light and black smoke, his brows furrowed tightly.
Beside her, "Glutton" Joelle Bonney leaned against the ship's railing, squinting at the trembling sky, her fingertips unconsciously twirling a piece of jerky.
The "Big Eater's" face rarely showed any trace of his usual cynicism.
On the other side, the Kid Pirates ' steel behemoth was also anchored in the distance. Kid, holding his metal prosthetic arm, stared intently at the direction of the deserted island with his crimson eyes. Killer stood beside him, his expression solemn beneath his hood.
The ships under the command of the Supernovae were all stationed far away, not daring to approach the sea area stirred up by the aftershocks of the battle.
With their naked eyes, they could only see the flashing Kakkō in the distant sky and the billowing smoke and dust kicked up by the collapsing rocks; they could not make out the faces of the fighters on the island.
The overwhelming Observation Haki spread out, and the immense pressure that swept over everyone sent chills down their spines.
"A clash Admiral-Emperor Level ... and not just one." Urouge muttered to himself.
The lookouts of each pirate crew quickly spun their Den Den Mushi), transmitting information about the earth-shattering battle that had erupted in this sea to all corners of the ocean.
The news spread rapidly through the intelligence network among pirates, and in a short time, many islands in the New World had received this explosive rumor.
At the same time, several naval reconnaissance ships quietly arrived in the outer waters, stopping at a great distance, not daring to enter the area affected by the battlefield.
Chaton Tokikake stood on the bridge of the main ship, dressed in a naval officer's uniform, with a serious expression.
Before setting sail, he had already dispatched a communications ship to relay news of the major battle taking place here back to the New Marine Headquarters, awaiting further instructions from headquarters.
Looking through the telescope toward the deserted island, the view was completely obstructed by smoke, mist, and floating boulders, making it impossible to distinguish the two sides in the battle.
The overwhelming Haki of several top experts, combined, pressed down across the vast ocean as if it were a tangible force, causing even this candidate Admiral to grimace.
"The scale is beyond our expectations. Multiple powerful forces are engaged in a chaotic battle on the deserted island. Do not rush in rashly. Maintain distance and continue monitoring." Jiaji Tokikake a deep voice, "Record all observed anomalies completely and continue to report the situation live to headquarters."
The Navy Soldier on the reconnaissance ship got busy, constantly sending messages Den Den Mushi).
On the distant sea, more pirate ships, having heard the news, gradually appeared, densely scattered across the surrounding waters, all only daring to observe from afar.
Meanwhile, in the heart of the deserted island, the life-or-death struggle continues.
The massive, towering debris of the main peak, carrying immense force, crashed down upon Ace and Sabo, suffocating the entire earth.
"Great Flame Commandment - Flame Emperor!"
Ace roared, and flames erupted all over his body.
Endless flames were drawn from the ground and the sea, swirling and coiling, and in an instant, they condensed into a blazing giant fireball with a diameter of nearly 100 meters, the crimson Kakkō illuminating half the sky in a fiery red.
The enormous fireball crashed head-on into the falling debris from the mountain.
Boom!
The earth-shattering collision resounded throughout the heavens and the earth.
Rocks melted, Blaze exploded, and blinding light shot into the sky.
Pirates and marines watching from dozens of nautical miles away all clearly saw the Kakkō that illuminated the sea of clouds. The bright light made many people instinctively raise their hands to shield their eyes.
The scorching heatwave still hit us from several kilometers away, and large plumes of white mist rose from the sea.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the collision between the fireball and the main peak's debris, Sabo used his feet to crush the flying rock fragments and suddenly rose into the air. His entire body was covered in Armament Haki, and his Dragon Claw Fist Space Rend, transforming into a black Inazuma that rushed straight at the Second Golden Lion was suspended in mid-air!
"Don't even think about controlling your abilities peacefully!"
Second Golden Lion's pupils shrank sharply. He hadn't expected Ace's outburst to tear apart his crushing attack. He quickly moved several giant rocks floating beside him to block in front of him.
Bang bang bang bang!!
Sabo's Dragon Claw Fist punches pounded the rock surface repeatedly, and boulders weighing hundreds of tons crumbled inch by inch under the fierce force of his punches.
On the beach below, everyone was stunned by the clash of powerful attacks from high above.
Even while Weevil Luffy Gear Fourth mode, he was still holding onto Weevil tightly, and when he heard the deafening roar above him, he couldn't help but glance up at the sky.
