Immediately afterward, countless beastly roars echoed from the Floating Island. The deafening sound seemed ready to tear the entire sky apart.
Mu Chen, standing on the ground, heard the beasts roaring. He knew how terrifying Golden Lion's ICO Drug was and could not allow these beasts to rush down and harm civilians.
Borsalino, use your abilities to get up there. Don't let those beasts come down!
Mu Chen shouted anxiously at Borsalino behind him.
Tokikake and Qi Yuan were both stunned. They had never seen Mu Chen so tense before. The usually carefree, unruffled Mu Chen seemed like a completely different person now.
Borsalino kept his hands in his pockets and asked with a puzzled look.
Hmm?
Mu Chen, what's going on?
Seeing Borsalino's indifferent appearance, Mu Chen felt both anxious and angry.
Borsalino, Vice Admiral, if I'm not mistaken, that Floating Island is full of enormous beasts. They're extremely powerful. We can't let them come down.
Enormous beasts?
Oh, how terrifying.
Then I'll go take a look!
As soon as Borsalino finished speaking, his body instantly transformed into flickering golden points of light, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Almost at that same instant, Borsalino's tall figure appeared in midair. His feet stood steadily atop invisible currents of air, his coat tails snapping wildly in the gale as he looked down upon the entire Floating Island.
When his gaze fell upon the scene on the Floating Island, his previously calm expression instantly darkened like the sky before a storm.
On the Floating Island, countless gigantic beasts seemed to have been set ablaze. They roared madly and rampaged everywhere. Dinosaurs as massive as mountains swung their thick tails recklessly, every sweep like a heavy hammer striking the air with a dull, heart-pounding boom.
Elephants and rhinos, beasts that normally appeared gentle, now seemed possessed by demons. They charged into one another wildly, their deafening crashes seeming ready to shatter the world's peace completely.
These behemoths were hideous and terrifying, their bodies unimaginably huge.
Borsalino took a deep breath. He knew he absolutely could not let these horrifying monsters rush down, or Marineford's back streets would become a living hell.
Yasakani no Magatama! He raised both arms and swiftly crossed them before his chest. In an instant, golden light burst from his body like a surging tide, followed by countless light bullets shooting from his hands.
They swept toward the Floating Island like a swarm of high-speed hornets.
A series of deafening explosions instantly erupted across the Floating Island. Fire and smoke intertwined, engulfing the entire island.
Every explosion was like the earth's roar, kicking up clouds of dust. The beasts were blasted into disorientation and fled in every direction.
Yet despite the ferocity of Borsalino's attack, he still could not stop the beasts from falling.
Like enormous balls of flesh gone out of control, they began dropping from the Floating Island one after another.
A massive Tyrannosaurus was the first to fall. Its huge body traced an arc through the air as it hurtled toward the ground.
Watching this scene from below, Mu Chen furrowed his brows tightly. The veins on his forehead bulged slightly from tension and fury.
Qi Yuan and Tokikake were also frightened pale by the terrifying behemoths overhead, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Without hesitation, Mu Chen took the lead. He explosively pushed off with both feet and used Geppo to fly into the air.
Tokikake stood with his mouth wide open and eyes bulging as he stared blankly at the beasts, his voice filled with terror.
How could there be beasts this huge?!
Damn it, let's do this!
Tokikake gritted his teeth, a surge of hot blood rising within him.
He used Geppo as well, closely following behind Mu Chen.
Qi Yuan frowned deeply, a trace of determination in her eyes.
She swiftly drew the military saber at her waist. The blade gleamed coldly beneath the sunlight, and then she leaped into the air.
Mu Chen had now opened the Third Gate of the Eight Gates, his body enveloped in powerful green energy like raging flames.
When Mu Chen drew close to the behemoths, he realized in alarm that their bodies were covered in pustules of all sizes, making them both horrifying and revolting.
Mu Chen pondered silently, The development of this ICO Drug must have gone badly. These behemoths are probably all test subjects.
Mu Chen raised his right leg high, then kicked a beast in the abdomen like a fired cannonball, carrying the force of an army. That kick seemed to gather the power of heaven and earth itself, warping the air. The beast flew away like a kite with its string cut, blasted a thousand meters through the air before crashing into the sea with a splash that sent up towering waves.
Take a look at Tokikake's achievement!
Tokikake also gathered his courage. With a shout, his Armament Haki erupted instantly, coiling around his legs like black flames.
Armament Haki Rankyaku!
He unleashed a powerful kick. A massive blue slash shot out like lightning, carrying fierce momentum as it instantly cleaved a beast in two.
The beast's blood burst forth like a crimson fountain, staining half the sky red. Qi Yuan refused to be outdone, gripping her military saber tightly in both hands, cold killing intent shining in her eyes.
She rapidly swung her saber through the air, and two enormous slashes flew from her blade like white dragons, instantly killing two beasts.
Mu Chen and the other two fought desperately in the sky, yet the falling beasts remained as dense as raindrops. Before long, more than thirty behemoths crashed down onto the ground like heavy bombs.
Dust immediately billowed across the ground as though it had been struck by a giant bomb. The once-sturdy houses were smashed to pieces beneath the impact of the behemoths.
