The So-Called Loyalty and Righteousness
A sudden jolt went through them. When Ace turned around, he was dressed in Black Cloak. Just by standing there, the world around them was completely distorted, making the two of them feel abandoned by the world.
In the void of heaven and earth, only those azure eyes looked down at the ants before them, their gazes filled with mockery.
God!
The word that Ace had always scorned, he now saw in the being behind him an aura that perfectly matched that word.
"Who are you? How did you get here..."
"Ace! Calm down, Uchiha Huayue. Mr. Dragon asked me to give you his regards."
Sabo removed his hat and gave a slight bow, his eyes lowered as he quietly awaited the other party's decision, his heart pounding with anxiety and unable to calm down.
For decades, the Four Emperors have stood on the sea, facing countless challengers, with many rising Supernovas in the New World challenging them.
Decades have passed, but the figures standing on the sea, apart from the newly crowned Red-Haired Shanks, are still those four who dominate.
Among them, the most mysterious and regarded by the Navy as the strongest enemy in history, Uchiha Huayue, is elusive and impossible to guard against.
Now, when he actually appeared before him, Sabo didn't know what to say.
To be precise, he didn't know if he could control his own life. It was as if the figure in front of him could vanish into thin air with a single glance.
"Don't be so nervous. When Garp took you away, I saw you from afar. The freckles on your face really look like your mother, Portgas D. Rouge."
In that instant, Ace was jolted, frozen in place, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"You..."
"I always keep my word. Back when Roger was in Impel Down, I made him a promise to save your life once. I will not lay a hand on you until I fulfill that promise."
"Wano Country is now in chaos. You and this kid are not part of Wano Country, so there's no need for you to get involved. Say goodbye properly."
During the conversation, a small figure rushed out of the bushes, covered in grass leaves. It was Tama, who had been adopted by Sky: Children of the Light Sukiyaki.
"Big brother! You're amazing! Big brother is so amazing!"
"Big brother?"
Sabo looked at Ace blankly, wondering when he and Luffy had gained another sister.
"I'm so glad you're alright..."
At this point, Ace hesitated, looking around blankly.
Yes, he never belonged here. He only broke into Onigashima to rescue Tama because of a moment of loyalty.
Now, Kaido faces an incredibly powerful opponent, and the people of Amiasa Village are cheering and encouraging as they watch the broadcast from the snail shell.
Without a doubt, this reformer is the one to whom they place their hopes for liberation. The ship is ready to set sail, and he has no reason to stay here any longer.
"Tama, calm down and listen to me. My brother and I are leaving Wano Country to continue sailing the seas. You're a samurai, right? Don't cry!"
Upon hearing this, Tama froze on the spot, but still nodded emphatically, her teary eyes gleaming with a unique light.
"Brother! I... I also want to go to sea with you. Can I board your ship now?"
"Well... it's a deal. Once you've grown into a stunning female ninja, you'll board my ship, hahahaha..."
Just as Ace lowered the boat, Huayue, who had been standing silently behind them, suddenly spoke up, looking at the two of them with a smile.
"No need for that trouble, I'll give you a ride."
Pop! Pop!
After a dizzying moment, when Ace and Sabo woke up again, Sabo shouted out before Ace could even exclaim.
"This is... White Soil Island!"
"Hey? Where's my brother? Where did he go?"
"Those two have already gone out to sea. Hurry up and go home, or we'll be caught in the crossfire of an enraged Azure Dragon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless emerald green wind blades surged forth, and the Tornado Demolition Wind rising from the sea ravaged everything in their path.
"Where did you two steal this move from? Oh... yes! It was him!"
With his blood rushing to his head and covered in wounds, Kaido lowered his head and once again descended into the air.
The blade pointed straight at the ground, and the strange turntable on his wrist spun rapidly, instantly causing Utakata to rise from one of the test tubes.
"What a troublesome fellow. The regenerative power of the Fish-Fish Fruit is just too strong. Combined with Kaido's physique, no wonder it was called a top-notch fruit by my brother."
"However, I've observed enough. I've even borrowed my brother's Azure Dragon to study it dozens of times. This time, I'm absolutely certain I won't make a mistake!"
Beneath the pale white palm, a typhoon-like vortex rapidly rose and clung to the Ame no Habakiri.
"ROOM: Slaughterhouse!"
The figures suddenly appeared, Kaido was slightly taken aback when faced with the sudden appearance of Yamato and Hiyori.
"K·ROOM· Airquake!"
The wheel spun again, and the nearly transparent spherical wave shook the heavens and earth, causing the atmosphere to tremble and shatter, tearing the air and the sea apart.
"This is! Newgate's ability, pfft!!!"
Extending from K-ROOM to Ame no Habakiri, it pierced Kaido's heart directly. The powerful Airquake, passing through the blade, continuously tore at Kaido's internal organs.
Puff!
Blood and foam flew everywhere, and blood gushed out of Kaido's mouth like a burst dam.
Before he could make a move, Yamato had already arrived in front of him and was spinning the roulette wheel in his hand.
"Overlord's Entanglement - Thunder Bagua - Airquake!"
Bang!
The Airquake that descended from the sky, carrying the Haki of the Conqueror, slammed straight down on Kaido's head. The long-awaited Hiyori switched back to normal, and pink bubbles suddenly spread.
"Mero Mero Mellow: Organ Petrification!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Its wings, sharp as knives, traced an elegant arc across the sky.
"Stop! Lord Kaido is Joy Boy, the one who will liberate the world! Don't even think about using numbers to bully us!"
"Guardian - Fire Dragon King!"
With his body engulfed in flames, King fearlessly dragged Kaido, who had reverted to human form, away and hastily fled towards Wano Country.
"Oh dear, I was saved by someone so loyal. Regardless of good or evil, there will always be people who will give their lives for what they follow. That's Loyalty and Righteousness, hehehe..."
"Don't even think about escaping! Ice Emperor Slash - Horse Illusion Blade!"
The ice-blue sword energy, wreathed in Conqueror's Haki, struck him squarely. Jin, who had deliberately transformed from flames to accelerate his speed, took the hit squarely and vanished completely into the distant coastline.
Beneath him, Sasaki, surrounded by enemies, transformed into Triceratops Form and flew off into the distance without looking back.
"Don't even think about escaping, Sasaki!"
Wano Country, Onigashima.
Sasaki, who had just reached the shore, was in a sorry state, surrounded and beaten by a group of Wano Country's top fighters, and he was also a little overwhelmed.
"What a mess, the sieve is full of Sasaki..."
Pfft!
To Sasaki's horrified gaze, a familiar, graceful figure stood coldly, a bright smile playing on her lips.
