Chapter 361: Nothing But Two Pirates
Totto Land · Above Whole Cake Island
"ROAR—!!!"
A dragon's cry shattered the firmament, a roar that seemed to hail from the primordial dawn of time!
The massive form of Azure Dragon Kaido spanned the horizon, his scales shimmering with a chilling metallic luster. Violent dragon breath, thick with the scent of strong liquor and killing intent, poured down like a localized apocalypse.
The sheer weight of that pressure sent everyone on Whole Cake Island into a state of absolute terror, as if they had been plunged into a sub-zero abyss.
On the Plaza Below
The Vinsmoke Family, Sanji, Ace, Enel, and Law all looked up simultaneously, their faces draining of color.
"Kaido?!!"
"Big Mom actually managed to bring him here?!"
Even the usually hot-headed Ace felt his flames flicker and recede. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
High above, Charlotte Linlin burst into a maniacal laughter. The power of her Soru Soru no Mi churned, and a soul-wind howled through the air.
"MAMAMAMA—!! Roy!! Did you truly think I would test you without preparing for the worst-case scenario?!"
"Retreat now, and you might still walk away with your life!!!"
However, deep in her gaze, a trace of urgency and wariness flickered. She knew all too well that even with Kaido by her side, they might not have the strength to keep Roy here. If Roy insisted on a fight to the death, Whole Cake Island might truly be reduced to ash this very day.
Roy stood suspended in the high heavens, his Marine coat snapping in the gale. The space beneath his feet churned like a black tide, and a dangerous light sparked in his dark eyes.
"Two mere pirates... what is there to fear?"
"BOOM!!!"
The onlookers' eyes nearly bulged out of their heads. The emperors of the Underworld turned as pale as sheets, as if they had just heard the most absurd lunacy in history.
"Wh-What?! He wants to take on both of them... at once?!!"
"Madman! Those are two Emperors of the Sea!!!"
Even the circling dragon Kaido paused for a heartbeat, a flash of suspicion and shock crossing his draconic pupils. "It's only been two years... how has this brat's aura become so... profound?!"
Charlotte Linlin's face twisted into a snarl, her roar shaking the sky. "ROY!!! You've got too much nerve!!!"
"Even if you've improved... do you think we've been standing still?!!"
"RUMBLE—!!!"
In the next heartbeat, three streams of Conqueror's Haki erupted simultaneously!
Roy's darkness was like a bottomless abyss, crushing all things beneath it.
Linlin's Haki was like a volcano, burning with madness and greed.
Kaido's Haki was like a berserk tsunami, roaring with the power to shake the heavens.
The clash of Three Kings—one Emperor standing alone against two!
The sky was instantly torn into a tricolor vortex: black, purple, and red! Lightning coursed through the clouds without restraint, and fire fell to the earth like plummeting stars. The buildings of Whole Cake Island collapsed in swaths under the sheer pressure of the aftershocks.
Ground Battlefield
Everyone was forced to halt their movements. Their bodies shook uncontrollably as they stared in awe at the terrifying scene in the sky.
Usopp gritted his teeth, barely standing. "Is this... the duel of the absolute peak?!"
Sanji's expression was heavy. "Roy-san... is he really going to fight two at once?!"
Law's ROOM domain trembled slightly. "Big Brother Roy..."
Enel slammed his golden staff into the ground, wreathed in protective lightning. A manic grin spread across his face. "Interesting! Now this is a true 'God's Battlefield'!!!"
In the air, Kaido finally spoke, his roar sending waves back three thousand meters!
"Worororo—!!! Fascinating!!!"
"Roy!! It's been two years. Let me see... just how far you've actually grown, you bastard!!!"
"ROAR—!!!"
Kaido's cry tore the heavens apart. His massive dragon form abruptly shrank, shifting into his Hybrid Form! Blue scales covered his body, and his muscles rose like iron towers. His massive club, Hassaikai, crackled with black-red lightning from his Conqueror's Haki!
"RAIMEI HAKKE (THUNDER BAGUA)!!!"
A terrifying shockwave distorted space, aimed straight for Roy!
Simultaneously, on the other side, Big Mom raised her Emperor Sword, Napoleon. Her soul-fire burned manically as the blade unleashed a torrent of destructive energy!
"IKOKU SOVEREIGNTY!!!"
Two Yonko-level finishing moves arrived at once, crisscrossing like divine punishment from the heavens to seal off every possible escape route for Roy!
Below on the Field
Sanji, the Vinsmokes, Usopp, and Pudding felt their hearts stop. They could barely breathe.
"Roy-san...!!!"
At that critical threshold between life and death—
Roy pressed his hand downward, and a black spatial ripple surged out.
"SWISH—!!!"
Vision blurred for everyone. In the next heartbeat, the Vinsmoke family, Sanji, Usopp, and Pudding had been forcibly warped away, appearing on a Marine warship in the safe waters far in the distance!
At the same time, the voices of Ace, Enel, and Law rang with Roy's low-frequency transmission: "Go to the treasure room... bring back that item."
"Understood!"
The three of them transformed into streaks of fire and lightning, diving deep into the heart of Whole Cake Island!
Roy's arms snapped out, his fists coated in pitch-black Armament Haki. The space around his knuckles shattered like glass.
"FIST BONE: AIR TREMOR!!!"
"BOOM—!!!"
The trajectory of the Thunder Bagua was forcibly twisted!
His right fist met the shockwave of Ikoku Sovereignty head-on. A ring-shaped shockwave detonated, tearing through the firmament and making the entire ocean boil!
Kaido and Big Mom were both shaken back several hundred meters!
The two Emperors of the Sea had actually been forced onto the back foot in the first direct exchange!
"Wh—?!"
"He took our combined strike... with his bare hands?!"
"How thick is this guy's Haki... just how deep does it go?!!"
Roy shook out his wrist and gave a cold, indifferent smile. "It's been two years, yet it seems your strength... hasn't improved much at all."
...
Cracker and Smoothie, covered in blood, fought desperately to intercept Ace, Enel, and Law!
"Don't let them break through!!!"
"Biscuit Fortress: Absolute Defense!!!" Cracker screamed, manifesting dozens of layers of biscuit walls.
"Shizu Shizu: Tidal Slash!!!" Smoothie's giant blade came down like a deluge.
"Trash. Move," Enel sneered. Lightning instantly pierced through heaven and earth!
SPURT—!!!
Both were impaled by lightning spears. Cracker's breath left him on the spot, and Smoothie collapsed with a pained roar!
"Katakuri-niisan!!!"
The heavily injured Katakuri, charred black, struggled to rise from the ruins. His crimson eyes stared dead at the trio. "You... you bastards!!!"
"Be quiet." Enel flicked his staff, and several lightning spears pinned him to the ground!
STAB! STAB! STAB!!!
Katakuri's pupils faded. He no longer had the strength to resist.
Ace's flames burned the sky. "Where's the treasure room?!"
Law's ROOM expanded instantly. "Three hundred meters to the left... a massive concentration of life signatures is gathering there!"
The three of them charged into the deepest reaches of Whole Cake Island!
Roy finally cut loose, his Fist Bone tearing through space as he rained a meteor shower of strikes upon Kaido and Big Mom!
"FIST BONE: METEOR!!!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG—!!!
Every punch was accompanied by the sound of shattering space, forcibly driving the two Emperors back step after step!
Kaido roared, his scales exploding with power!
Big Mom raged, her soul-fire dancing manically!
Yet, no matter how frantically they counterattacked, Roy's silhouette remained an immovable demon-god—the strength of a single man, holding back two Emperors alone!
