The battle on the floating islands has reached a fever pitch.
Blood flowed along the cracks in the island's rocks, forming tiny rivers of blood on the uneven ground of the floating Sky Island.
Corpses were piled up everywhere, some still in the posture of struggling before death, others trampled beyond recognition.
The shouts of battle, screams of agony, and the clash of weapons mingled together, making one's ears ring.
The members of the Roy Pirates, like sharp knives, ruthlessly reaped the lives of the people.
Bullet punched more than a dozen pirates, sending them flying like rag dolls, crashing to the ground and the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible.
He stood amidst the pile of corpses, covered in blood, grinning. "Come on! Who else?!"
The surrounding pirates retreated in terror, wishing they could get as far away from this monster as possible.
Hawk Eyes stood on the high ground, barely even drawing his Black Blade, yet the sheer aura emanating from it kept everyone within a three-zhang radius from approaching.
The Red Count strolled leisurely through the crowd, tapping someone with his cane and knocking them down.
One tap, one drop. As elegant as dancing a waltz.
Tesoro went even further, transforming into lightning and darting across the sky, striking wherever there were many people with a single bolt of Raigo, causing the pirates to cry out in agony.
Where Crocodile's sandstorms passed, pirates were sucked dry and turned into dried corpses, so much so that anyone who came after would run away at the sight of sand.
On the other side, Yamato, brandishing a spiked club, charged into the crowd, laughing wildly.
Wherever the Thunder Bagua passed, people and horses fell to the ground; no one could withstand a single move from her.
Savi, Enel, Charon, and Pea worked together seamlessly. Savi engaged in direct combat, Charon provided support, and Enel and Pea controlled the battlefield, reaping the rewards from one enemy after another.
The Zombie Army unleashed by Moria became entangled with the enemy.
Those zombies feel no pain, no fatigue; they will keep fighting as long as they are not completely destroyed.
The bear remained silent, swatting away one enemy after another.
Those pirates who were sent flying will take several days to fly back from who-knows-where.
The team of Lucci, Kaku, Blueno, Jabra moved through the crowd, targeting the most capable officers.
The Six Powers, combined with Devil Fruit abilities, rendered the officers utterly helpless.
Lafitte's hypnotic techniques caused many pirates to collapse without even realizing it. They died without understanding how they had lost.
Van Augur sniped from afar, each shot hitting the enemy with pinpoint accuracy. Those pirates he targeted often didn't even have time to react before their heads were blown apart.
Jesus Burgess's terrifying strength meant he could smash a small boat with a single punch.
He was like a ferocious beast, rampaging through the crowd, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
This isn't a battle.
This is nothing short of a massacre.
Those ordinary pirates were no different from paper in front of the core members of the Roy Pirates.
As for the members of the Beasts Pirates, there's no need to say more; each of them has a fighting style similar to Kaido's.
As Zoan Fruit users, and having undergone a perfect Bloodline Transplantation surgery, they transformed into ferocious beasts, charging back and forth fearlessly in the arena.
The entire battlefield was thrown into chaos.
Whitebeard stood not far away, watching this scene, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
"Gurararara... That kid Roy, his men are definitely not simple."
Marco landed beside him, frowning, and said, " Pops, if this continues, our losses will be too great. Those ordinary pirates are no match for them."
Whitebeard nodded, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield.
On the Golden Lion's side, the losses were equally heavy. His old subordinates, who had followed him for many years, fell one after another in pools of blood.
Big Mom was so angry her face contorted. Her children, though powerful, were no match for monsters like Bullet and Hawk Eyes.
"Mama mama mama!!!" Big Mom screamed, "Damn Roy! Damn Kaido!"
She stared at the figure at the bow of the Ark of Ark Maxim, her eyes filled with resentment.
Roy just sat there, toying with the Pure Gold in his hand, the golden light flowing between his fingertips.
He wore a faint smile, an expression of anticipation for a good show.
That expression infuriated Big Mom.
The Golden Lion also had a gloomy expression.
He floated in mid-air, looking at his fallen men and then at Roy's leisurely demeanor, and felt incredibly angry.
" Roy, you brat!" he gritted his teeth, "You're too arrogant!"
The gazes of the three emperors met in mid-air.
At that moment, they understood each other's thoughts.
No one can steal the Pure Gold from the Roy Pirates by acting alone.
Bullet, Hawk Eyes, and Kaido —those three monsters are all incredibly difficult to deal with. Add to that Red Count and Tesoro, and in a one-on-one fight, they have absolutely no chance of winning.
But what if they join forces?
Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Big Mom—three emperors joining forces.
Even if the Roy Pirates are strong, they'll have to think twice.
The three of them moved almost simultaneously.
Whitebeard stomped his feet, his massive body leaping into the air, his naginata pointing directly at the Ark Maxim!
With a wave of his hands, the Golden Lion Oto and Kogarashi flew out, and he charged towards Roy like a shooting star!
Big Mom leaps aboard Zeus the Thundercloud, Napoleon's greatsword in hand, and screams, " Pure Gold is Mom's!!!"
Three emperors attacked Roy simultaneously from three directions!
The entire venue erupted in cheers!
" Pops's made his move!"
" The Golden Lion is on the field too!"
"Three emperors have joined forces! Roy is doomed!"
The pirates, who had been suppressed, suddenly became excited and roared wildly, as if they had been injected with stimulants.
On the Ark Maxim, Roy remained seated at the bow, without moving an inch.
He merely curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
Three figures appeared instantly before the three emperors!
Bullet!
Hawk Eyes!
Kaido!
" Whitebeard!!!" Bullet roared, throwing a punch, "Your opponent is me!"
boom--!!!
The force of the fist collided with the naginata, and a terrifying shockwave instantly spread out, sending the pirates who had no time to dodge flying!
Whitebeard's pupils contracted slightly, and he chuckled, " Bullet! Looks like you're determined to fight to the death today!"
Bullet grinned. "Enough talk! I've been waiting for this day for ages!"
Hawk Eyes drew his Black Blade Yoru, and a green slash shot out, aiming straight for Golden Lion!
Golden Lion's expression changed, and Oto Kogarashi blocked the attack with a cross-shaped block, but was still knocked back dozens of meters!
He steadied himself, staring at Hawk Eyes with apprehension in his eyes.
" Hawk Eyes... your knife is getting sharper and sharper."
Hawk Eyes didn't speak, he just stared at him silently. His gaze was like that of someone looking at prey waiting to be slaughtered.
In the sky, the Azure Dragon coiled down, its enormous claw aimed straight at Big Mom!
" Linlin!!!" Kaido's maniacal laughter shook the heavens and earth, "Let me see if you've gotten weaker all these years!"
Big Mom brandished Napoleon's greatsword, slashing fiercely at the dragon's claw. " Kaido! You traitor!"
