Chapter 461: The Hot-Tempered Guys Are Coming
"RUMBLE—!!!"
Amidst the deafening roar, dust and firelight intertwined, and the entire hidden assembly hall was completely transformed into a battlefield.
The ground cracked open, shattered stones flew in all directions, and a massive airwave hurled broken tiles high into the sky.
The head-on collision between Chinjao and Drake was like a roaring thunderbolt and an erupting volcano occurring at the exact same instant!
Blazing flames, waves of dust, and the residual shockwaves of Armament Haki churned into a storm, making even the air whimper.
"Waaaahhh—!!!"
Exclamations of shock came from the flank as an even more ferocious force tore up the ground!
"Hahaha—!! Who dares to touch my people?!!"
Bartolomeo chewed on a candy, a provocative smirk plastered on his face as he crossed his middle and index fingers—
"Barrier!!!"
"BAM—!!!"
An emerald-green transparent barrier instantly expanded like a glowing shield wall, rebounding all the bullets, crushed stones, and wood splinters!
Immediately following, Sai let out a furious roar, the floor tiles beneath his feet abruptly exploding.
His legs, enveloped in pitch-black Armament Haki, gleamed like iron pillars as he spun into a fierce kick—
"Hasshoken: Bugakato (Martial Heel)!!!"
As that kick lashed out, the air instantly collapsed!
The shockwave roared like a giant cannon, heading straight for Sanji.
"—BANG!!!"
The ground was blasted into a long trench, rubble shooting into the sky.
Engaged in a fierce melee with Cavendish, Sanji frowned. Reacting instantly, he tapped his toe, and his entire body turned into an afterimage—
"Soru!!"
Using the Rokushiki footwork, he narrowly evaded the attack. Brushing past the edge of the shockwave, he leaped into the air. The corner of his clothes was torn, and the reflection of the flames flickered in his icy gaze.
"What an endless bunch of pests..." Sanji muttered, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
On the other side, Ideo crossed his arms. His metal joints let out mechanical scraping sounds, and electric light flowed between his boxing gloves.
"Destruction Cannon!!!"
Energy gathered in his arms, his shoulder muscles bulging as he roared and charged forward!
The lightning whipped up by his fist wind carved a semicircular trajectory of electricity across the ground!
"BOOM—!!!"
The ground was torn open, an entire row of ruins blasted away, and rubble rained down.
Kujaku was forced back three steps, her whip dragging a scorch mark across the floor, her eyes turning sharp.
"Whether you're SWORD or the Marines, in front of a giant—you are all scum!!!"
The giant Hajrudin immediately roared as he charged from behind, landing in the center with a thunderous boom. The entire battlefield was nearly cracked open by his foot stomp!
"BOOM!!!"
The entire ground caved in, shockwaves rippling outward like a tsunami, instantly collapsing the remaining ruined walls of the building!
Amidst the dust and smoke, Orlumbus raised his longsword high. His voice roared like thunder, carrying the furious cry of his Yonta Maria Grand Fleet:
"Form up the battle formation—!! Attack Mode!!!"
"YES, SIR!!!"
Dozens of Yonta Maria warriors charged from all sides, their footsteps as orderly as a military formation, firing their cannons in unison.
The concentrated firepower plunged the entire port area into a fiery purgatory!
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—!!!"
Broken tiles flew wildly, and flames swallowed the earth. The five members of SWORD were forced to scatter.
"Damn it... this lineup is way more exaggerated than we expected."
Usopp crouched on a high platform in the rear, rapidly reloading his bullets, cold sweat dripping down his temples.
"Cavendish, Bartolomeo, Hajrudin, Orlumbus... they're actually all here!"
Hibari gripped her sniper rifle tightly, biting her lip: "To think they all answered Chinjao's summons..."
Kujaku's voice drifted back from the frontlines, carrying the howling crack of a whip and pure fury—
"Cover me!!"
"—Roger!!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
Sniper bullets fitted with explosive rounds carved a chain of fiery lines through the air!
Three shots accurately hit the center of the enemy formation. The exploding firelight illuminated Kujaku's figure as she cracked her whip.
Her footsteps were as light as a dance. The steel whip swept across the ground, kicking up rubble and iron shards.
"Whip-Whip: Earth Vein Tremor!!!"
"Crack—!!!"
The instant the whip's shadow struck the ground, the earth twisted violently as if awakened. Layers of rubble bulged upward, transforming into rolling waves of stone that directly sent a group of grunts flying!
"Aaaaaahhh—!!!"
Screams echoed one after another.
Kujaku flicked her whip, her eyes as coldly alluring as a blade: "These little bugs are so noisy."
At this moment, the most ferocious collision in the main combat zone was still ongoing.
Two massive figures continuously clashed in the center of the ruins, the erupting shockwaves cracking the ground inch by inch.
Chinjao let out a furious roar, his veins popping. Airwaves rolled beneath his feet as his entire body shot into the air like a cannonball!
"Hasshoken: Butou Kaiten (Martial Head Rotation)!!!"
He clasped his hands together, flipped upside down, and suddenly began to spin in mid-air!
His speed was so fast it seemed as if he had turned into a burning meteor. Using his head as the axis, he spun at high velocity—
The air was torn apart, leaving fiery trails in his wake. The surrounding wreckage disintegrated one after another in the vibrating airwaves!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
That wasn't the sound of the wind, but the wail of the air being crushed.
Chinjao's aura surged straight into the clouds, his voice shaking the sky: "Bring it on!—Marines!!!"
"ROAR—!!!"
Answering him was Drake's enraged roar!
Scales flashing with a silver-red light in the firelight, the Allosaurus suddenly dove, using its dragon head to meet that spinning head of steel head-on!
"——BOOM!!!"
The instant they collided, the entire ground caved in, and a dust cloud rolled into the sky!
Fissures spread like a spiderweb for dozens of meters. Rubble, flames, and blood mist intertwined into an absolute purgatory!
The surrounding adventure fleet members were all shaken into retreating continuously, unable to even stand steady.
Drake's twin claws firmly blocked Chinjao's cone-shaped head, his scales sending sparks flying from the friction!
"Damn it... this power—!"
Chinjao spun even faster, the Haki on his head condensing into a pitch-black vortex. The scorching airwave threatened to tear apart the scales on Drake's arms!
"Hahahaha! This old man's head isn't just for show—!!!"
Chinjao roared, his voice kicking up airwaves. As his cone head spun, it actually forced Drake to retreat continuously!
A deep trench was forcibly scraped into the ground. Stone chips flew wildly, the fragments acting like blades.
"A mere five Marine brats—dare to try and teach us a lesson?!!"
The fierce light in Drake's dragon pupils surged. He suddenly swung his tail, the scales sweeping out like sharp blades, tearing up the ground!
"ROAR—!!!"
Accompanied by a violent roar, Drake concentrated all the strength in his body into his neck and shoved fiercely!
"THUD!!!"
His massive head acted like a hammer, slamming ruthlessly and sending Chinjao flying backward!
"BOOM—!!"
Chinjao crashed through a broken wall, rubble tumbling and sparks flying!
He landed heavily, rolled a few times, and propped himself up with both arms to steady his stance, revealing a ferocious grin: "Heh... now that's more like it, brat."
Drake panted heavily. With a leap, his scales gradually faded, and he reverted to his human form.
Upon landing, he stood shielding Sanji and Kujaku, his gaze as cold as frigid iron.
Chinjao took a deep breath, slowly stepping out of the dust and smoke.
Behind him, Bartolomeo, Sai, Ideo, Orlumbus, and Hajrudin gathered one after another.
Firelight churned behind them, their silhouettes pressing forward like mountains.
"With just you few brats?!!"
Chinjao roared, his voice shattering the gunpowder smoke in the air!
Facing this oppressive pressure, Drake merely lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly.
"Heh..."
He looked up, his right hand reaching into his coat to pull out a squirming Den Den Mushi.
"The moment I confirmed that you all—truly still wanted to go back to being pirates," Drake's tone was low and cold, laced with a hint of mockery, "I had already contacted... certain very hot-tempered individuals."
As his words fell, the scene fell into a sudden, deathly silence.
Chinjao and the others' expressions changed.
In their minds, almost instinctively, two figures surfaced—
Two "hot-tempered monsters" capable of making the entire New World fall silent.
The air suddenly grew scorching hot.
The sky behind Drake began to be dyed with a dual-colored radiance of deep crimson and purplish-blue from a distance.
Lightning flashed, covering the firmament like a spiderweb. Deep crimson flames, mixed with berserk lightning, rapidly closed in from the horizon—
The rumbling grew closer and closer, like thunder and a volcano awakening simultaneously.
