"Hahhh~~?!"
Queen's mouth gaped open as he bellowed dramatically:
"You're a pirate, aren't you?! Huh?! A vicious, cold-blooded pirate! The same pirate who dug out a hundred pirate hearts! And now you're telling me you want to do good deeds?!"
"I'm gonna puke!"
"And my Plague Bombs aren't something just anyone can counter!"
"Guess we'll find out—after I take you down," Law replied, drawing his blade.
One hand gripped his sword, the other reached forward—
"ROOM: Slaughterhouse!"
Swish—swish—swish—
A dazzling flurry of slashes followed. Law moved like the wind, slipping past armed pirates in a blur. Screams rang out as they were severed into pieces—some in halves, others in quarters. Even their guns were sliced cleanly into fragments.
It was a scene straight out of a nightmare.
"The Mink Tribe are my crewmate's people. They treated me with kindness here... No way I'm letting you tear through this place unchecked."
Pulling down the brim of his hat, Law ignored the cries of the wounded pirates and hooked a finger at Queen.
"You've got two choices: back off now, or I knock you down."
"Muhahahaha! You little punk! A mere Warlord of the Sea…"
A vein bulged on Queen's forehead. He'd heard of Law's powers, but witnessing this grisly carnage firsthand gave even a Lead Performer pause.
"Just a bunch of weaklings… Your powers can't even kill! You think you'll scare me off with that?! You're still way outta your league!"
"ROARRR—!"
Queen's round body expanded into the massive frame of a brachiosaurus. His enormous tail came crashing down with earth-shattering force:
"DIE, DAMN YOU!"
BOOM!
Law's sword, Kikoku, crackled with Armament Haki as he swung to block—but was hurled away like a ragdoll from the sheer impact.
"ROOM: Slaughterhouse!"
In a flash, Law teleported onto Queen's back. A bullseye-like mark appeared between Queen's shoulder blades. Law gripped his sword in a reverse grip and plunged it downward.
"Injection Shot!"
Bang!
The blast from the technique slammed Queen flat onto the ground.
"RAAARGH!"
Queen let out a howl of pain as his enormous body crashed, kicking up clouds of dust. But he quickly rolled over and got back to his feet.
"Little bastard! That's not gonna cut it! My defense isn't something your—"
"Cardiac Shock!"
In the blink of an eye, Law reappeared in front of Queen. His sword was gone. He pressed both thumbs into Queen's chest as a blinding flash exploded forth—a violent surge of high-frequency electricity shot straight through Queen's flesh and deep into his organs.
Zzzzt—BOOM!
Law was swatted into the ground by one of Queen's massive claws, blood spurting from his mouth.
"How the hell?!"
"Muhahaha! Boy, do you really think a puny electric shock can shake a Brachiosaurus's heart?!" Queen sneered. "Die already!!"
SHINK!
Law vanished once more, and Queen's stomp struck only air. He let out a frustrated grunt.
"Damn fly!"
"Huff…"
Law exhaled slowly. With a flick of his finger, his long sword flew back into his hand from somewhere unseen. He eyed Queen's enormous body with irritation.
"Zoan-types... what a pain. Especially the Ancient Zoans."
"But no matter how tough the outside is, the inside's still vulnerable."
"Heart too sturdy for shocks? Then I'll just use something else."
"ROOM!"
Reappearing in front of Queen, Law slashed hard:
"High-Frequency Scalpel!"
BANG!
The sword struck Queen's thick neck. Sparks burst from the clash of Haki. Queen's advanced Armament Haki kept Law's surgery-style slashes from cutting through his flesh.
"Slaughterhouse!"
"Control Baton!"
Law vanished again. Meanwhile, Kikoku—as if controlled by an invisible puppeteer—struck Queen repeatedly, drawing his attention.
Appearing behind Queen's neck, Law's hands crackled with light as he conjured a strange, glowing blade made of pure energy. With precision and power, he drove it into Queen's back:
"Gamma Knife!"
Szzzzzzap—!!
"AAARRGGHHH!!"
Queen shrieked. The Gamma Knife's ray-piercing power—infused with high energy—tore through tissue, damaged organs, and shredded cells. Even a Zoan's famed regeneration couldn't keep up with this level of internal destruction.
Blood burst from Queen's mouth. The blade had pierced straight through him, wreaking havoc on his innards.
"YOU BASTARD!"
Queen's long neck whipped around, and his massive head crashed toward Law in a brutal attempt to crush him.
"You think this much damage'll stop me just 'cause it's inside?!"
Law dodged again with a teleport. His eyes flicked toward the edge of the battlefield—where Duke Inuarashi and the Mink warriors were fighting to hold back the infected.
A flicker of urgency crossed his face.
This has to end fast. If I drag this out, those infected won't make it!
Only after I beat Queen can I use Wright-san's Purification Crystal!
Resolved, Law raised his wrist, revealing a platinum-gold watch glowing faintly.
"Change Mode!"
With a rather over-the-top command, the watch burst into golden light. Law's long coat flared up.
SHOOSH—SHOOSH—SHOOSH—
The wave of gold enveloped him like a tide, concealing his form. Queen gaped.
"Hahhh~~?!"
Something about this transformation felt... oddly familiar.
A flash of radiant gold—and Law reappeared in a brand-new look.
White cape with golden trim, a bold "L" emblazoned on the back, a full-body combat suit with gold-lined edges, black belt, black scarf, black shades, and black boots with golden trim…
Somehow, it all looked surprisingly natural on the normally stoic, spotted-hat-wearing surgeon.
"Eh?! GERMA?!!"
Though the design differed slightly, the vibe was unmistakable. That flashy transformation and memory alloy-enhanced armor—this was definitely Germa tech!
"You've got a Germa battle suit transformation?!"
"What's your connection to Vinsmoke Judge?!"
"I said, it's called a 'change mode'!"
Floating in midair, visibly annoyed, Law felt his stamina quickly recovering thanks to the Radiant Gold suit. A smirk tugged at his lips.
"You know Judge? Then I guess I'll have to hold back a bit…"
With the Radiant Gold battle suit, Law could ignore stamina limits and unleash the full power of the Ope Ope no Mi. His strength, speed, and defense were all amplified across the board.
"Let's go."
In the next instant, Law vanished—and Queen's massive frame was blasted into the air!
"What the hell?!"
"ROOM!"
This time, Law's ROOM expanded to an unbelievable scale—stretching across the forest, extending from Zunesha's back all the way to the air above the ocean.
"Super Surgery: Lineage Factor – Carcinogenesis!"
Law's grin turned vicious. This "Super Surgery" technique combined cutting-edge medical technology into devastating abilities. The only catch was its massive energy cost—usable only with the suit's support.
The "Lineage Factor" series was so powerful it was borderline unfair. Even Wright had been stunned into silence when he first witnessed it—this was genetic surgery.
Law could use it to cure congenital diseases… or—
"Trigger incurable ones."
His ominous voice sent a chill through Queen's massive frame.
"As a scientist, you know what the Lineage Factor is…"
"Better rush back for treatment... There might still be hope. Otherwise, enjoy watching tumors sprout inside you. The stronger your vitality, the faster they'll grow!"
"You know the symptoms. Don't let those endlessly multiplying cancer cells eat you alive, got it?"
Stretching out his hand, Law lifted his fingers.
"Slaughterhouse!"
SHING—!
Queen's enormous body—and the mangled pirates around him—vanished in an instant, reappearing a thousand meters above the sea, beyond the back of Zunesha.
"LAW!! YOU BASTARD!!"
As they plummeted toward the sea, Queen's roar of rage and the pirates' screams faded into the distance.
