Deserted Island Battlefield, On the Ruins
The sky was dark, magma and mist intertwined, and the scorching sea breeze howled like a beast.
BOOM—!
With a tremendous sound, rubble flew. Kaido slowly stood up from the deep crater, his body covered in dense wounds. But as a green light shone from the dragon scales on his body, the wounds all over his body slowly healed under the terrifying regenerative power of the Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Fruit. At his broken dragon horn, flesh and blood writhed, and green scales grew layer by layer from the wound. Even though such an injury would have been fatal to an ordinary person, Kaido seemed to be just "warming up."
"Worororo...!" he laughed wildly, grabbing "Hassaikai" and shouldering it, his presence like a reviving giant mountain monster. "Kid, are you ready for round two?!"
Opposite him, Roy stood quietly on a shattered cliff, his cape fluttering in the fierce wind. His face was calm, but his slightly furrowed brow revealed that his current state was not as relaxed as it seemed. That last punch, although it had overwhelmed Kaido in terms of presence, Kaido's Haki impact was not to be underestimated. Although he had no obvious external injuries, after that earth-shattering clash, his internal organs were still churning, the Haki rushing through his blood vessels, as if countless needles were writhing deep within his organs.
"I can't drag this on for too long..." He took a deep breath, a glint in his eyes—
"Teleport: Surgery!"
This was a powerful move developed over many years, inspired by Law's Op-Op Fruit. Space trembled slightly. An invisible spatial blade cut across Roy's body. His internal injuries, internal bleeding, torn fascia, and even the residual corrosive power of Haki were all "teleported" out into the void in an instant.
BOOM—!
Roy's body was pure again, his presence instantly returning to its peak.
"What?!" Kaido's eyes sharpened. His Observation Haki had long since covered the entire field, but he couldn't track the trajectory of this "teleportation" power at all. "I clearly sensed that he was internally injured just now... how did he recover in an instant?!" For the first time, a hint of doubt and caution appeared in Kaido's heart.
"Although this move can instantly transfer injuries, the stamina consumption is enormous..." Theoretically, he and Kaido were not much different in terms of injury, but now he looked completely unscathed, which he had exchanged for a large amount of stamina. "I have to end this quickly."
Roy opened his eyes again, his gaze like a blade cutting through the mist. His muscles bulged, and Haki wrapped around every inch of his flesh. The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch. He slowly raised his fist, and the familiar star pattern appeared on it.
Kaido had already stepped forward, thunder roaring on his iron club, a savage curve on his lips. "Hahahaha!! You kid really know how to surprise me!!"
"Since you're not planning to run, then don't blame me for breaking all your bones!!!"
Their gazes met high in the air, their Haki clashing in the void with a sharp ringing sound, their fighting spirit boiling.
BOOM!!
The rock formations shattered, and the two figures almost simultaneously became afterimages, shooting towards each other. Before the air could react, the two forces, powerful enough to destroy mountains and seas, had already torn apart the tranquility of the entire battlefield in the instant before they were about to clash again.
At this time, above the deserted island, at the edge of the battle zone.
The high-altitude battlefield, where flames and sword energy intertwined, which had been briefly frozen by the clash of Roy and Kaido's Haki, was now suddenly boiling again.
"Swish!"
Gion used Moonwalk, her figure like lightning as she shuttled through the air, her Konpira cutting through the long sky, creating a pale golden sword energy. "Storm: Flying Swallow!" The sword energy cut through the long sky, its cold light pressing.
King flapped his wings, flames surrounding his body. He spun lightly to dodge and countered with a wave of his hand. "Fire Dragon Emperor!" A flame tornado roared into the sky, the temperature soaring, the flames like a meteor streaking across the sky.
Gion flashed to dodge but keenly sensed—"That's not right, this fire... he's not using his full power!" Her gaze sharpened, and she looked straight up. King was not pursuing but was transforming into his pterodactyl form and rapidly ascending.
A thunderclap exploded in Gion's heart. "He's forcing me to retreat! His goal is... to disengage?!"
"Shave!"
A golden light suddenly appeared. She accelerated with all her might, forcefully pursuing. The two of them rapidly ascended to a high altitude, gradually leaving the main battle zone. The battlefield below was still raging: Roy and Kaido's fighting spirit soared again, their Haki clash causing the heavens and the earth to resonate. The island shattered, and thunder echoed. Gion forced herself to look away and focused only on King.
At this moment, King's expression was as cold as ever, but his heart was already in turmoil. "Brother Kaido is caught up in the fight. This is not Wano Country. We can't fight for long."
"Marine reinforcements could appear at any moment. Jack... I have to get him out."
He quietly pulled out a small piece of a scroll from his chest—Jack's Vivre Card. The paper trembled slightly, the direction it pointed to clear: just dozens of miles behind the island, hidden, was that Marine warship.
King suddenly opened his eyes, his Observation Haki exploding, and he locked onto the warship's position. At the same time, Gion also suddenly sensed a guiding presence on him—a Vivre Card. "His target is the warship!!"
King no longer hesitated. He flapped his wings, and the flames roared. "Fire Dragon Emperor: Flame Slash!" A long-charged, scorching flame slash tore through the sky, heading straight for Gion.
Seeing this, Gion was not to be outdone, and her sword energy surged. "Flowing Shadow Slash!" A golden slash of energy met it.
BOOM—!!
The two moves collided in mid-air. Flames and golden light exploded and intertwined, the shockwave sending both of them flying back. But Gion's face suddenly changed. She saw that King had already retreated rapidly under the cover of the explosion, his figure becoming a stream of black flame as he sped towards the warship.
"His target is Jack!!!" Gion roared and quickly pursued. But aerial combat was not her strong suit after all. The continuous high-altitude combat using Moonwalk and Shave multiple times had already caused her stamina to be severely depleted. "You bastard, stop!"
In mid-air, Gion swung her sword and sent out several slashes of sword energy, but they were all precisely dodged by the pterodactyl-form King with his flying agility. King looked back and sneered, the flames on his wings condensing, his speed increasing again. "You can't catch me."
"Fire Dragon Sky Pierce!"
The scorching flames lit up the sky, becoming a meteor as it fell straight towards the warship. At the same time, the Marine warship's alarm blared through the sky. "High-energy lifeform approaching! It's approaching at super-high speed!!!"
"Target locked on our ship's deck!!"
The captain roared, "All hands to battle stations, protect the target—the transport bay for Jack and Doflamingo!!"
But the next moment, a furious flame slash fell from the sky.
BOOM—!!
The deck was instantly blasted open, steel deforming, wood splinters flying. Although several officers and NCOs desperately blocked, King's charge was already upon them.
Gion's pupils constricted. "Slashing Wave: Horizon!" She forcefully erupted her Armament Haki and sent out a slash of sword light that crossed the sky and the sea. The sword energy accurately aimed for King's charging direction, trying to obstruct his flying attack route. But King's figure flipped and dodged. Although he was slightly disturbed, he was not thrown off course. "Naive."
At the same time, on the deserted island battlefield.
Roy, who was fiercely exchanging blows with Kaido, suddenly trembled. He turned his head abruptly, his Observation Haki instantly locking onto the direction of the distant warship, capturing that falling stream of black flame. His pupils constricted, and he roared, "King... you dare?!?!"
Kaido's roar came instantly. "You little brat! Getting distracted in a fight will get you killed!!!"
"Roaring Thunder Bagua!!"
"BANG—!!"
Lightning tore through space. The Conqueror's Haki-wrapped spiked club became a tornado as it swept over. Roy instantly came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and forcefully used "Instant Flash." His figure became a blur and vanished, but he was still sent flying dozens of meters by the aftershock of the Conqueror's Haki, a mist of blood exploding from his shoulder. He gritted his teeth and turned, his eyes fixed on the distant, diving King. "I can't let him succeed."
Gion was desperately pursuing high in the sky, the warship was in crisis, and the rhythm of the battlefield suddenly became tense.
