The Golden Lion's roar came from the distant sky, shaking the clouds.
Roy's lips curled into a cold smile, and he suddenly unleashed his Telekinesis.
He forcefully froze the three floating rocks in mid-air, bringing their forward momentum to an abrupt halt.
The rock mass trembled violently in mid-air, fine cracks began to appear on its surface, and gravel fell down in a rustling sound.
Golden Lion was forced to distract himself from Roy's Telekinesis.
The floating Sky Island beneath his feet swayed slightly, and the movement of his twin swords slowed by a fraction of a second.
Kaido would never let this opportunity slip by.
The Azure Dragon's tail swept across the Golden Lion with immense force, sending him flying dozens of meters away.
The Golden Lion somersaulted several times in the air before regaining its balance, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of its mouth.
" Kaido! You took advantage of my vulnerability!" Golden Lion cursed.
"Hehehehe! Who talks about fairness on the battlefield!"
Kaido opened his mouth wide, and blue dragon breath was brewing again deep in his throat.
But in the instant Roy was distracted while controlling the floating rock, Linlin's attack arrived.
The Napoleon in her hand had swelled to nearly twice its original size, and flames and Inazuma crackled simultaneously on its blade.
Prometheus's flames and Zeus's Lightning were simultaneously poured into the blade, and the three forces intertwined and fused wildly on the blade.
The flames turned the blade crimson, lightning crackled and danced within the flames, and Conqueror's Haki transformed into a purplish-black halo that enveloped the three powers, forcibly fusing them into one.
" Emperor Sword - Break!!!"
Linlin raised Napoleon high with both hands and brought it down fiercely on Roy.
A purple-black slash wave, formed by the fusion of fire, Lightning, and Conqueror's Haki's Haki, hurtled towards Roy with an aura of annihilation.
Roy's eyes narrowed.
Charlotte Linlin's attack was so powerful that it was too late for her to dodge.
Roy had to withdraw the portion of his mind that had been diverted and concentrate all his Telekinesis on building a defense in front of him.
The Telekinesis: Barrier instantly strengthened to its limit, and visible semi-transparent ripples appeared on its surface. At the same time, Roy's own Armament Haki Hardening and covered his entire body.
boom--!!!
The Emperor Sword the Telekinesis: Barrier, causing the entire barrier to tremble violently, with cracks spreading wildly outward from the point of impact.
Flames and lightning exploded on the surface of the barrier, sending sparks flying hundreds of meters away, burning holes in the ice.
The sea beneath Roy's feet could not withstand the impact, and a crater tens of meters in diameter collapsed downwards from him.
Roy was knocked back dozens of meters by the blow, his feet carving two deep furrows in the water.
The exploding water and the water falling from the sky all landed on the barrier.
But his expression didn't change at all; although the Telekinesis: Barrier showed cracks, it ultimately didn't break.
"Mama! Is it blocking the way?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Linlin's eyes.
Her Emperor Sword was the strongest attack combining three attributes, something even Kaido would have to take seriously, yet Roy actually caught it head-on.
"Not bad."
Roy's figure floated back into the air.
"The wind-up animation is too long."
But in the few breaths that Roy withdrew his Telekinesis, the situation on Golden Lion's side changed.
Without Roy's Telekinesis suppression, Golden Lion immediately regained control of the three floating rocks.
Not only that,
Taking advantage of a lull in Kaido's attack, he also created even more floating rocks, accelerating their advance towards Onigashima.
Like a group of sharks smelling blood, the floating Sky Island bypassed Kaido's defenses from all sides and surrounded Onigashima.
"Hahahaha!"
The Golden Lion's maniacal laughter echoed through the sky.
" Roy! You're a hundred years too early to stop me!"
Kaido, that stupid dragon, can't stop me by himself!
Before he finished speaking, the officers of the Flying Pirates under Golden Lion's command also jumped down from the floating rock.
They stepped on the rubble manipulated by Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit powers, rushing towards Onigashima as if they were on levitation platforms.
The leading cadres,
A Fish-Man controlling jellyfish, a swordsman with bladed arms, and a burly fat man, the fastest of all, had already crossed the coastline.
Meanwhile, the Totto Land fleet had already bypassed the main battlefield.
Perospero stood at the bow of the ship, licking a lollipop, his eyes filled with determination.
On the deck behind him, Smoothie, Cracker, Cinnamon, Brownie, and all his children were fully equipped and ready to go; the deck was packed with combatants.
Roy steadied himself and scanned the entire battlefield with his Observation Haki.
The Golden Lion's floating Sky Island are approaching Onigashima, the Totto Land Island fleet is circling around, the Flying Pirates ' executives have landed, and Big Mom is still blocking his way.
Kaido lost too many floating Sky Island to Golden Lion, leaving him unable to manage them all. Although his dragon breath could destroy some of the floating rocks, Golden Lion kept creating new ones, making it impossible to clear them all.
Further away, those naval presences remained motionless in place.
But Roy knew they weren't standing still; they were waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
"Trying to steal Pluton?"
Roy's voice turned cold, and a long-suppressed anger flashed in his eyes.
"It all depends on whether you have the luck."
Roy's gaze swept towards Onigashima.
According to his Observation Haki, Onigashima had already set up a defensive line, and Jin's black wings hovered above Pluton.
Queen's Gatling gun array was set up, Jack's troops blocked the port entrance, and the Tobiroppo took their positions.
Although the defense line has not yet been tested in actual combat, the framework has already been established.
The most troublesome thing right now isn't Linlin in front of us, nor the Sky Island of the Golden Lion, but the presence of those few naval figures in the distance.
Garp, Zephyr, and the Three Admirals —the Navy has committed all its high-end combat power, but it hasn't brought the main fleet.
The purpose is self-evident.
They didn't come to wage a full-scale war; they came to take advantage of the chaos to destroy Pluton.
As soon as Pluton is destroyed, the Navy will immediately retreat.
Roy considered the situation for a moment, then suddenly used his Telekinesis to connect with Kaido was chasing the Golden Lion in the distant sky.
His voice entered Kaido's mind directly, as clear as if it were speaking right next to his ear.
" Kaido, change the fighter."
You deal with Linlin, I'll go fight the Golden Lion.
Kaido's dragon head turned around, a hint of doubt flashing in his large, bell-like eyes.
"Why? I'm having a great time fighting!"
" Golden Lion's floating Sky Island can launch a surprise attack on Onigashima. My Telekinesis can compete with him for control. I am more agile than him in the air."
Linlin's attack methods are not as agile as mine in the air, but she is tough and resilient, so your brute force is more suitable for dealing with her head-on.
and--"
Roy paused, a hint of coldness creeping into his voice.
"The navy is still watching from a distance; we need to resolve the immediate problem as soon as possible."
Kaido remained silent for a moment.
He may be reckless, but he's not stupid.
Every reason Roy gave was valid— Telekinesis could counter the Float-Float Fruit, and his Azure Dragon Form had an advantage in a direct confrontation with Linlin's Iron Balloon.
"Alright!" Kaido nodded, refusing to waste any more words.
