"Lord Jack!"
The pirates of the Beasts Pirates watched in horror as the head of the giant mammoth was blown apart by the terrifying lightning explosion. A feeling of endless fear welled up in their hearts, and they felt cold all over.
Their All-Star, Jack the Drought, one of the three Calamities, with a bounty of over eight hundred million berries, and the ability of the Zoan Zou Zou no Mi, Ancient Model: Mammoth, was dead!
From the shattered neck of the mammoth's corpse, which was lying on the ground like a small mountain, a waterfall of blood was gushing out madly.
In just a few breaths, the ground was stained a crimson color.
"Rear Admiral… Rorschach."
Rakurak looked up at the Qilin beast that seemed to have walked out of a mythical legend. The shock in his heart was already beyond words.
This was Rorschach.
He was even more powerful than he had been on the sea outside Sabaody Archipelago last time!
"Roar!!"
The Qilin beast, which was as huge as a small mountain, suddenly lifted its massive head. It opened its mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, and let out a long roar that shook the sky.
The loud roar echoed like rolling thunder, shaking the hearts of countless people.
"Rumble!"
The giant beast began to move its four hooves, charging into the chaotic crowd of pirates.
The air within a few thousand meters compressed into dozens of ten-meter-long wind blades that whooshed out from the Qilin's body, slashing down at the pirates below.
As it moved its four pillar-like hooves, it stomped on and sent countless pirates who stood in its way flying.
Wherever it went, no one could stop it!
"Cannon fire! Cannon fire!" On the pirate ships outside the island, cannons aimed at the charging giant beast. They fired pitch-black cannonballs that slammed into the Qilin's body, exploding into bursts of flames and thick smoke.
But it was useless.
The giant beast's body was not only covered in thick, armor-like azure scales, but also a layer of deep-blue Haki that wrapped its entire body, which was enough to block the bombardment of these ordinary cannons.
"Follow him! Follow Rear Admiral Rorschach!"
The morale of the Marine officers was soaring. Like they had just been given a shot of adrenaline, they followed closely behind the Qilin beast, tearing through the terrified and chaotic pirates.
At the same time, on the vast sea behind G-1 Island, a series of green battleships with seagull flags flying high broke through the shattered floating ice, charging from both sides of the island like deep-sea beasts riding the wind and waves.
A few hundred meters away, the dense cannons on the battleships had already begun to roar.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The earth-shattering sound of cannon fire exploded on the sea, breaking the peace of the New World.
"Marines! The Marines are here!"
"Intercept them! Counterattack!"
On the ice in front of G-1, the pirates all ran back to their pirate ships, firing their cannons to counterattack.
But because of the falling Sky Island and the volcanic bombs, some of the pirate ships anchored on the sea had been damaged.
Even more ships had been swept away by the tsunami and were nowhere to be found.
The remaining pirate ships could only fire a few scattered cannons, which seemed a little ridiculous under the overwhelming cannon fire from the battleships.
A thousand meters high in the sky, Shiki, who was chewing on a cigar, his clothes tattered and his body covered in blood, looked down at the battleships below, which were as numerous as fish in a river, and the continuous cannon fire. He couldn't help but grin.
"Ze hahaha, this is great! This is it, war, a war that will sweep the world!"
In the midst of his laughter, Shiki raised his right hand over his head and pulled down hard.
"Ze hahahaha! Come on! Let's decide this once and for all, Sengoku!"
"Rumble!"
Tiny black dots appeared in the sky, causing Sengoku and the others, who were besieging Charlotte Linlin and Kaido on G-1 Island, to change their expressions.
"Damn it! We must kill Shiki first! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Sengoku shouted.
"That bastard's ability alone is enough to change the course of the war. The Fuwa Fuwa no Mi ability is too dangerous. We must kill him as soon as possible!"
Garp, whose face was covered in blood, also shouted.
"Borsalino! Don't be lazy! Hurry up and kill him!"
Kizaru's old face wrinkled into a knot. He said with a bitter expression, "You know it's not that easy, Fleet Admiral Sengoku. As long as he doesn't fight me head-on, I can't take him down in a short amount of time."
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and go!" Zephyr reprimanded.
"Okay, okay. It would be so much better if Sakazuki went to fight him." Kizaru sighed. His body turned into a beam of light and shot toward the sky, heading for Shiki.
However, a small island with a radius of a few kilometers came crashing down, covering Kizaru and forcing him back down.
At the bottom of that small island, there were also hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of seawater, which also fell down. Like a river pouring from the sky, it surged and roared, pouring onto the ground of G-1.
"It's seawater, Aokiji!"
Kizaru was so scared that he shivered. He quickly turned into a beam of light and dodged.
He wanted to call Aokiji to come and freeze the seawater, but Aokiji had already gone with Rorschach to support the front line on the right side.
Not only that, the seawater outside G-1 Island was also buzzing and roaring.
The sea surface for a dozen kilometers was raised as if by a giant beast lurking in the sea. It was rolled by an invisible force, turning into a surging, angry wave that slammed into the battleships.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Tens of thousands of tons of seawater went against the flow, gathering on the sea to form hundreds of meters tall heads of seawater lions. They opened their mouths and, under the horrified gazes of the soldiers on the battleships, took a bite.
On the huge battleships, masts shattered, sails were torn, decks were pierced, and hulls broke.
In an instant, four or five battleships were bitten in half, sending thousands of Marine soldiers into the sea. They were swept up by the churning tsunami and sank into the deep sea.
"Ze hahaha, ze hahahaha!"
"Come and stop me! Capture me and throw me into Impel Down, just like you did back then! Sengoku! Garp!"
Shiki spread his arms and laughed up at the sky, like a lunatic.
"This beast! We shouldn't have imprisoned him in Impel Down. If we had executed him, this wouldn't have happened!"
Sengoku and Garp's eyes were filled with rage. They clenched their fists so hard they cracked, wanting to smash Shiki's head with a single punch.
Nineteen years ago, when Shiki caused a ruckus in Marineford and was captured, the Marines had thought about publicly executing him like they did Roger.
But Shiki's Fuwa Fuwa no Mi ability was too terrifying, so the Marines did not dare to easily kill him and allow this terrifying Devil Fruit to re-enter the sea.
In a way, the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi also had the power to destroy the world. And its mobility and ability to save its user were far superior to Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi.
If Shiki had truly wanted to escape from Marineford back then, Sengoku and Garp would not have been able to stop him.
This was because he could easily fly tens of thousands of meters into the sky, which was something no martial art could achieve.
"Shiki! It's about time you die! Ama no Murakumo!"
A golden beam of light made a large circle in the sky, avoiding the pouring seawater, and rushed to Shiki's face, slashing at him with a single sword.
"Ze hahaha, you're still far from it, sparkling kid!"
Shiki grinned, revealing his bloody gums. He kicked out a hundred-meter-long sword slash with his right leg, which streaked toward the pouncing Kizaru.
"Wave Slash!"
Kizaru swung his light sword, frantically attacking Shiki.
But Shiki would just slash twice and then retreat in the air. He would beckon and summon a long river of seawater, which he would manipulate to entangle the approaching Kizaru, forcing Kizaru to retreat to avoid being wrapped in the seawater and losing his ability.
Kizaru was annoyed by this tactic. He could only shoot laser beams at Shiki from a distance of a few hundred meters, which pierced through the water curtain formed by the seawater and continuously slammed into Shiki's body.
However, his laser beams, which were powerful enough to pierce through a thousand meters of rock, only made Shiki cough up blood and constantly get sent flying. But he still wouldn't die.
To kill this legendary pirate in a short amount of time when he wasn't trying to fight, it would probably require at least two or more Marine Admirals to gang up on him.
But the others couldn't fly, so how could they catch up to Shiki, who had the ability to fly?
"That's right! Rorschach! Tell him to come and work with me."
Kizaru suddenly thought of Rorschach. He quickly looked down and saw a huge Qilin beast trampling and charging through the pirates on the island below. It was like a crazed shark entering the sea. Nothing could stop it. The pirate crowd was torn and pierced through, opening up channels where flesh and blood splattered.
In the sky around them, small islands with a radius of a thousand meters were falling down like meteors, crashing into the sea below.
This terrifying apocalyptic scene forced Garp and Sengoku to give up their pursuit of Charlotte Linlin and the others. They instead rushed toward the falling islands, trying to blast them apart in the air.
If they let these islands hit the Marine battleships, they didn't dare to imagine how many Marines would die instantly.
The terrifying force of millions of tons of islands falling was something that even a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral could not withstand.
Seeing Sengoku and Garp leave, Charlotte Linlin's knees gave out, and she fell to the ground with a thump.
"Mama! Are you alright?" The pale-faced Katakuri went forward and asked with concern.
Charlotte Linlin did not answer. Blood continuously flowed from her mouth, and she was breathing in large, painful gulps.
On her bloated body, her left chest, which had been raised, was shattered. Her clothes were torn, revealing a large area of bruises and hideous, sunken fist marks.
Her nasal bone had caved in, and her entire face was a mess.
As a dignified Four Emperor of the New World, the supreme queen of Totto Land's thirty-five islands, when had she ever suffered such an insult?
She had been pummeled by Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr, and she was also hit with all the pain that Kuma had transferred from Rorschach.
It could be said that if Charlotte Linlin herself didn't have a monster-level physical talent, she would have died long ago.
But even so, she was now in excruciating pain all over her body.
"Mother Carmel… Mother Carmel, I'm in so much pain, so much pain~"
Large tears gushed out from Charlotte Linlin's eyes and fell.
She cried and stretched out her large hand. A pitch-black shadow gushed out from it. She pressed it on her wounds.
As the pitch-black shadow touched her wounds, a miraculous scene occurred.
The hideous wounds, without any signs of healing, simply disappeared, instantly restoring to how they were before she was injured.
Her caved-in chest, collapsed nasal bone, and the wounds and fist marks all over her body were rapidly restored and healed by the healing of the pitch-black shadow gushing from her hand.
At the same time, her pink hair visibly turned gray and lost its luster.
Her body also shrank from its bloated and obese state, becoming withered.
Her cheekbones protruded, her eye sockets were sunken, and her face was covered in crisscrossing wrinkles.
"Soul Healing."
This was Charlotte Linlin consuming her own soul life to heal her wounds.
As long as she had enough soul life, no matter how serious her injuries were, she could heal them in a short amount of time.
Seeing that Charlotte Linlin had finished treating her wounds, Katakuri turned his head and glanced at the increasingly chaotic battlefield. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Mama, I think we should retreat."
"What did you say?"
When Charlotte Linlin heard this, it was as if she had been provoked. She suddenly widened her eyes.
Strands of blood spread in her eyes. A terrifying aura rose from her body, spreading out like a storm.
Flames and a thundercloud appeared at the same time and swelled on the ground. Charlotte Linlin jumped onto the flame cloud and held the long sword Napoleon, charging toward the chaotic battlefield.
"I won't retreat until all these damned Marines are dead!"
Watching Charlotte Linlin fly away without listening to his advice, Katakuri sighed. A Transponder Snail appeared in his palm, and he dialed it.
"Brulee, open a mirror channel and wait for my signal."
"Yes, Big Brother Katakuri!"
He looked at the sky above the battlefield with a tired expression. Over there, a dense black thundercloud was rapidly expanding and growing. In an instant, it had expanded over a thousand meters, casting a large shadow on the ground.
Charlotte Linlin, who was rushing on the flame cloud, saw this and was furious. She slashed at the thundercloud that was continuously expanding and rising in the sky.
"Zeus! How dare you!"
"Stop her!" The Marine officers on the battlefield shouted.
"We're your opponents! Charlotte Linlin! Soul Cleansing!"
A figure flashed below. Vice Admiral Tsuru's petite body flew into the sky using Geppo. She fearlessly met Charlotte Linlin, waving her hand and creating a large area of soap bubbles in the air in front of her, aiming for the flame cloud under Charlotte Linlin's feet.
The moment the soap bubbles in Vice Admiral Tsuru's hands washed over the flame cloud, the huge, raging fire went out quickly.
"Mama! Help me!" The flame cloud Prometheus screamed in fear. He felt that his soul and consciousness were being cleansed by this strange soapy water.
"It's you!"
Seeing Vice Admiral Tsuru charging toward her, a fierce glint appeared in Charlotte Linlin's eyes. She swung her sword and slashed.
Many years ago, Vice Admiral Tsuru had always been her opponent on the sea.
Although Vice Admiral Tsuru was small, she was an extremely powerful woman.
She was much older than Charlotte Linlin, a legendary Marine just like Garp and Sengoku.
On the other side, the massive Qilin beast stepped and rose into the sky, following the continuously expanding thundercloud to a height of several thousand meters.
"Hibari! Well done! This is our combined attack!"
The giant beast shrank, turning into its human-beast form. Rorschach raised his right hand high, as if he were holding up the entire sky with a single palm.
A terrifying lightning bloomed within the thundercloud above his head.
Rorschach's raised right hand came crashing down toward the vast battlefield below.
"Raigo!"
