Who's-Who's voice roared like a demon's, filled with bloodthirsty ecstasy and mad provocation.
As he spun around with cyclonic speed, a whip-like kick sent the charging Jack flying through the air.
The once-renowned "Drought" Jack was nothing more than a reckless brute in his eyes now.
Jack's body tumbled through the air like a tattered kite before crashing heavily to the ground, sending dirt flying in all directions.
High above, Kaido let out a heaven-shaking roar that seemed capable of tearing the very sky asunder.
However, Who's-Who no longer cared.
He threw his head back and laughed wildly, his smile filled with disdain for fate and contempt for his enemies.
He abruptly reached out and tore the Beasts Pirates emblem from his chest, shredding it to pieces in his hand that scattered with the wind.
He let the lightning-shaped scar remain exposed to the air, as if it were a symbol of his rebellion, a mark of his breaking free from bondage.
"From this day forward, I'm Who's-Who, the 'Light Calamity' of the Eternal Divine Kingdom!"
These words, like a declaration of war, echoed throughout Onigashima!
Each syllable hammered against everyone's eardrums like a heavy mallet, striking fear into their hearts.
The once cautious "Fourth Calamity" had now unleashed his true nature, like a ferocious beast breaking free from its cage, baring its sharp fangs.
The smoke of the battlefield seemed to freeze for a moment, as if time itself had stopped.
Everyone was stunned by Who's-Who's madness, and for a moment, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
"Hey now, this show is way more exciting than expected."
Diamond Jozu stood with his arms crossed, a playful smile on his rugged face.
The diamonds covering his body refracted colorful light under the sun, yet even such dazzling brilliance couldn't compare to the spectacle of this internal conflict unfolding before them.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Who's-Who's figure while privately speculating about how this farce would unfold.
Marco lounged lazily on a broken section of wall, his Azure Flames wings gently flapping as his gaze followed that purple lightning-like figure, a trace of surprise and admiration in his eyes.
"Yah~ Looks like we won't need to lift a finger~" he murmured, his voice tinged with amusement.
Watching Who's-Who charging across the battlefield, he couldn't help but marvel at the man's madness and strength.
Vista twirled his upturned mustache, his twin swords vibrating excitedly in their sheaths, feeling the battle fever boiling in his blood.
"Tsk tsk, what a magnificent pledge of allegiance! I like it!" he shouted loudly, his voice filled with heroic spirit and approval.
The cigar in Crocodile's mouth nearly fell as he squinted, watching Who's-Who's mad dog-like slaughter performance before letting out a hoarse chuckle.
"Interesting... damn interesting..."
An unreadable light flickered in his eyes, whether he was appreciating the battle or plotting something remained unclear.
Just as everyone was commenting, Who's-Who's figure suddenly transformed into a golden stream of light - the ultimate speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit!
His speed was so fast it dazzled the eyes, as if the entire world had accelerated beneath his feet.
One moment he was locked in combat with Queen, the next he had appeared before Drake.
"You...!" Drake's pupils constricted sharply, his face filled with shock and terror.
His dragon claws had just begun to rise, not yet able to make any response,
"Thud!" A sword wrapped in high-frequency vibrating Haki had already pierced through his chest.
Only when the blade tip emerged from his back did Drake feel the excruciating pain.
The agony felt like countless blades cutting through his body, making him unable to suppress a scream.
Even more terrifying, Who's-Who's military boots had already been covered in a blinding golden light.
"Lightspeed Fatal Kick." Who's-Who said coldly, his voice filled with killing intent.
"BOOM!!!"
Drake's body flew backward like shattered rock, crashing through four rock walls before finally stopping, leaving deep imprints in the walls as if struck by a giant's fist.
Blood drew a tragically beautiful arc through the air, ultimately blooming into a blood flower amidst the ruins.
That blood flower appeared particularly striking in the smoke-filled battlefield.
The entire area fell silent, everyone stunned by this scene.
They watched Who's-Who's retreating figure, their hearts filled with awe.
This man once regarded as the "Fourth Calamity" had now become a terrifying presence on the battlefield.
Who's-Who flicked the blood droplets off his blade and turned to kneel on one knee toward the direction of the Eternal Divine Kingdom.
"Is this proof of loyalty satisfactory?" His voice carried a deranged laughter, metallic fangs still dripping with Drake's flesh and blood.
Marco whistled. "This guy... is serious."
Crocodile finally found his voice, letting out a hoarse laugh. "Welcome aboard, you madman!" He waved his hand, summoning a sandstorm.
"Now, let's clean up these remnants!"
Jozu rubbed his gleaming diamond forehead, looking at the others with confusion.
"Um... is it really good to let this guy join us?" he rumbled, his eyes warily examining the blood-soaked Who's-Who.
Marco lazily yawned, his Azure Flames wings gently fluttering. "Yah~ Jozu bro, have you forgotten our Divine Kingdom's greatest invention?"
A cluster of blue flames suddenly ignited at his fingertip, tracing the silhouette of a towering tree in the air.
"The Contract Tree, the Contract Tree~" Marco hummed, the flame-conjured leaves rustling.
"Once you sign your name, your soul will be eternally bound by the contract." His gaze suddenly turned dangerous.
"Traitors will rot from their organs, until even their bones are burned to ashes by the contract flames~"
"Hisss—" Jozu sucked in a cold breath.
This definitely settled it.
"Hahaha! Then what are we waiting for!"
In a flash, he appeared beside Who's-Who, vigorously patting the new companion's back hard enough to nearly drive him into the ground.
"Welcome aboard, brother!"
Who's-Who staggered from the impact, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but he quickly steadied himself, his eyes gleaming with madness.
"Then..." He turned to face his former comrades, lightning and golden light intertwining on his spiked club.
"Can we clean up these eyesores now?"
Vista's dual blades were already drawn, cold light flowing along the edges. "Been waiting for this! I'm going to test my blades on that horned one!"
Crocodile blew out a smoke ring, sandstorms swirling around him.
"Hurry up. I've got victory drinks to get to."
Marco spread his Azure Flames wings, his lazy expression vanishing.
"All units, commence annihilation!"
With that command, the newly joined Who's-Who was the first to charge forward.
