Boiling hot steam shot out from the broken metal like an angry, roaring beast, filling the air with a thick mist.
"Damn ant!" Queen's mechanical dragon head twisted 180 degrees around.
The energy-gathering machine in his throat suddenly glowed with a dangerous red light.
That dark red glow looked like the eyes of a demon, giving off a scary feeling.
"Taste my special laser—Black Blaze!" Queen roared.
A dark red beam swept sideways from his throat.
Wherever the beam passed, the air seemed to catch on fire.
It twisted and burned up, creating a strange, blurry space.
However, to everyone's surprise, Who's-Who showed no sign of trying to dodge.
His glowing golden body stood totally still, letting the attack hit him.
Because his true form was made of light itself, a light-based attack was just like a gentle breeze blowing past him. It caused no harm at all!
In the audience, King's black wings folded in without him realizing it.
His eyes showed a bit of confusion and helplessness as he quietly muttered to himself:
"That idiot Queen... Is he out of his mind? Does he not know his opponent is a Glint-Glint Fruit user? To think he would try using a light-based attack..."
A sudden look of determination flashed in Who's-Who's eyes.
His body flickered like a ghost as he quickly darted up into the air.
In a flash, thousands of tiny light particles rushed toward his hand as if pulled by invisible strings.
They spun and grouped together in a beautiful rhythm, finally forming a three-meter-long, brightly shining sword of light.
The edge of the blade shined with a never-ending, flowing light.
Suddenly and without any warning, four exactly matched golden bodies appeared, looking like they stepped right out of thin air.
Their movements matched perfectly.
The Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi swords in their hands shined with a sharp, cold light.
They swung from four very difficult angles, striking with unstoppable force right toward Queen's huge and complicated mechanical core.
"Light Shadow Clone!" Who's-Who shouted in a low voice.
The sound created faint ripples in the air.
"Spark Queen—Full Power!" Queen's already huge and heavy body changed in that exact second into an exploding volcano.
Super-hot flames shot out from every tiny crack in his metal armor.
The burning heat twisted the air around him, trying to burn up everything in its path to ash.
Three of the light clones were caught in this cruel sea of fire.
They disappeared like snow under a hot sun, quickly turning to vapor and leaving behind only faint trails of steam.
Meanwhile, the real Who's-Who sensed the deadly danger and quickly backed away with fast footwork.
However, Queen's attack was far from over.
His thick mechanical tail suddenly popped off from his body, coming alive on its own.
"Brachiosaurus Launcher - Lock-On Mode!"
Queen's voice cut clearly through the loud noise.
The separated metal tail changed at blinding speed in mid-air, instantly turning into a tracking missile.
Not only that, but the outside of the missile was covered in a thick layer of Armament Haki.
Its engines spit out creepy blue flames like the fire of death, locking firmly onto Who's-Who.
Who's-Who's face turned very serious.
He used three light-speed moves in a row, leaving behind blurry afterimages in the air.
Yet the missile stuck to him like a shadow, guided by some mysterious power.
No matter how he dodged, he could not shake off this deadly chase.
In the end, Who's-Who had no choice but to turn around and block with his sword.
The moment the blade hit the missile, a massive crash happened.
The explosive shockwave rolled out like angry ocean waves, throwing him hundreds of meters away.
"Invisible Black - Germa Mode!"
Queen's giant body suddenly vanished without a trace from everyone's sight.
Only faint shaking from the ground gave away where he was.
Who's-Who's Observation Haki screamed loud warnings at this moment, pushing his nerves to their absolute limit.
But even so, he was still one step too slow!
A twenty-ton mechanical brachiosaurus launched a sneak attack from behind.
Its steel tail, wrapped in Armament Haki, slammed into his waist with earth-shattering power.
"Boom!"
The hit carried the heavy weight of thunder.
Who's-Who's body shot forward like a cannonball.
He crashed through three solid stone walls before getting stuck deep inside the fourth one.
Rocks fell away from the wall, kicking up big clouds of dust.
Struggling in pain, Who's-Who crawled out from the wall.
He was covered in dirt and cuts, with a little bit of blood dripping from his mouth.
Just as he caught his balance, dangerous electric sparks suddenly flashed across the broken metal parts under his feet.
"100,000 Volts - Electric Queen!" Queen's voice rang out again.
High-voltage electricity quickly traveled through the wet ground like giant blue snakes.
They lunged toward Who's-Who with a scary and deadly speed.
His body of light flickered wildly under the powerful electric shock, its bright glow going up and down.
The burning high heat cooked away his light particles, forcing Who's-Who to turn back into his normal physical body.
He fell to one knee.
Unable to hold it back, he spit out a mouthful of blood that splashed on the ground, forming a small puddle.
Queen's body slowly appeared from inside the flashing electric lights.
His six mechanical arms joined together in a complicated but neat way, instantly forming a giant energy cannon.
The glow at the end of the cannon grew brighter and brighter, gathering up power for a completely destructive blast.
"Ultimate Impact!" Queen's voice shattered the short moment of quiet.
Right at the most dangerous moment, just as the energy beam was about to fire, Who's-Who gritted his teeth hard.
His whole body exploded with bright light, turning him into a blinding beam that shot straight up into the sky.
He stopped thousands of meters up in the air, with fierce winds howling all around him.
Now, the light from his body pulled inward as tightly as possible, making him look like a sun about to burst wide open.
"Amaterasu-Omikami: Divine Punishment Light!" Who's-Who roared in fury.
A blinding white pillar of light, ten meters wide, shot down from the sky like a giant spear.
It completely swallowed Queen up, carrying a feeling of total destruction.
Wherever the pillar of light passed, the air was instantly super-heated.
It made a loud sizzling sound, as if the space around it was being ripped apart by this massive power.
The pillar of light lasted for a full five seconds—an amount of time that felt like an entire year to everyone watching.
As the bright light slowly faded away, a twenty-meter-deep pit of magma was left right in the center of the training ground.
Boiling hot lava bubbled and popped at the bottom.
Queen's burned, black body lay at the bottom of the pit.
His mechanical parts glowed red-hot from the extreme heat, looking like they were right on the edge of melting away.
The flesh that had once covered these metal parts was now completely gone!
