[Prisoner Mine]
The place of confinement that held hundreds of Wano's residents is now a wreck, the mines where they spent hours upon hours working in is buried in the earth, guards and a few unfortunate inmates suffered the same fate, lost in rubble.
Ramos stood on top of a boulder, vapour rising from his body, the concentration of haki was taking a toll on him, small muscle tears occurring every time he moved and his blood wouldn't clot. A power price.
Woosh
He dashes over to Queen, the Yonko commander gained consciousness just after he helped free the prisoners. Old man Hyogoro reluctantly left his side, berating the young man for risking his life, but despite his anger, he had hope in his eyes.
Queen turns into his Brachiosaurus form, opening his lizard mouth, a shot laser beams at Ramos.
The Marine dodges every projectile, dancing around the attacks, and he gets closer to Queen.
"Hold still." Queen growls, the zoan user swings his massive tail at his enemy, slashing the wind as is collided against Ramos, the latter blocks the tail whip with his forearm.
Crack.
Bone-shattering at the impact, gritting his teeth, Ramos uses Geppo to leap at Queen's head, using his good arm, generating crimson lightning around it.
Baam
Ramos connects his fist across Queen's face.
"Argghh–" Queen groans.
Ramos follows the strike with a high knee to his throat, the Brachiosaurus-man's neck bent to a sickening 30° angle, blood escaping his mouth. Queen's eyes nearly rolled to the back of his head but the stubborn Scientist wouldn't stay down, inhaling a painful breath, he whips his head to Ramos, sending the man flying to the warden's tower, destroying the structure in the process.
"Y-You bastard..." Queen speaks out, morphing into his hybrid form, his tail extending to reveal robotic parts where the connective bone is supposed to be, the tail's tip replaced by clamps, the same for his ponytail end and his robotic left arm, glinting in the light. A sword manifested in his right hand, the cyborg-dinosaur-man is taking him seriously.
"Get up brat, I'm going to use your head as an ashtray. " Queen promises.
Ramos got out of the watch tower, whipping debris off his body, his right arm still mangled up, ignoring the searing pain across his body, he looked at Queen with indifference.
Woosh
Slash
Queen slashes his sword, nearly cutting Ramos's head off, Ramos went for a leg sweep, Queen caught the leg with the tail clamps.
"Ouff–" Ramos lets out.
Queen spins Ramos around, thrashing him like a rag doll before slamming him down, face-first.
Wham
Ramos's head slams onto the ground, his brain meeting his skull as his mind went black.
"I'm not done with you." The Yonko commander swings Ramos over his head and slams him back down to the ground again. Queen was relentless with the way he bashes Ramos like a pest, his robotic clamps holding onto the man, blood is pouring down from his head, the Vice-Admiral is responsive, not caring if he's alive, and swings Ramos down to the ground.
Ramos lay there, mangled up, body grotesque, a puddle of blood under him as the Vice-Admiral was dead.
"Too bad, that was getting fun." Queen clicks his tongue.
xxxxxxx
Back at the flower capital-
Angelica and Hiyori were faced with their own challenge as Jack is attacking them, in his mammoth form, he charges at the pirate as Hiyori is holding a pink-haired little girl with a smile on her face, holding onto the daughter of Kouzuki Oden, Toko is completely frightened by what's happening,
The cursed smile plastered on her face even as tears flowed down.
Hiyori holds her close, maintaining a safe distance from Angelica and Jack's battle.
Booom
Slash
Jack rams into another building, completely destroying the structure, shaking off the material on his fur, Jack is snarling out of his trunk, and the mammoth-man charges at Angelica.
Click
The black-haired pirate snaps her fingers.
×××
Ulti is trying her best to avoid hitting her father, the zombie pirate is slashing at them, groaning like a mindless beast, Page One nudges Hanafuda with his head, minimising the impact.
"Pay-Pay, don't get too close, daddy will cut you!" Ulti shrieks.
Before zombie Hanafuda could slash at Page One with his scythe, he burst into smoke. Leaving his children shook.
"Wh-where did he go?" Ulti blurts out, whipping her head around in hopes of catching him.
Hanafuda materialises in front of Jack, cutting him with his scythe.
"Hanafuda!" He snaps.
A gash is flowing at the side of his face, Jack's eyes turn red, anger consuming him as he cares not for how Hanafuda appeared or if he is even still alive, all that matters is killing him for the audacious attack.
Jack charges again, the behemoth steps causing rumbling.
"Stand still Hanafuda." Angelica orders.
The zombie man freezes like a statue as Jack pierces him with his tusk, lifting him up to the ground as the tusk impales deeper into the former Tobiroppo's body. Black blood trickling down onto the tusk, the stench of death hits Jack's nose, causing him to shriek in disgust.
Angelica leaps into the sky, channeling violet energy around her sword, reaching out for Hanafuda's scythe, the zombie lets go of his weapon as it's levitating towards Angelica.
"Thank you~" She hums, grasping the scythe, she channels Calypso's voodoo and her own Jinn abilities.
"Raqsat alzili." Angelica chants, Hanafuda's shadow appears behind, syncing his attack with her own.
Slash.
Her attack decapitates Jack's head, blood painting the ground as the fish-man's eyes roll back, turning back to his normal form before he falls down.
"Pathetic." Angelica chuckles, turning to the zombie Hanafuda, she channels emerald flames reaching her undead servant.
"You have served your purpose."
Click.
She snaps her fingers, watching Hanafuda howl in pain as the emerald flame feasts on his dead flesh, consuming what is left of the pirate.
"S-Spare my children..." Hanafuda pleads out,the last of his will is used to ask for mercy on his kin.
"Your wish is my command. " Angelica purrs.
The dead Warlord, crumbling into ash, Yamato took his place, the Ogre Princess looked perplexed, her eyes landing on Angelica.
"How am I here?" Yamato questions.
Angelica rolls her eyes, taking the larger girl's hand in hers, she leads her over to Hiyori and Toko, " I need you to watch over them as I hunt a snake." She giggles.
"ANGELICA, YOU BEAT HIM!" Toko excitedly shouts, stars flashing in her eyes.
Hiyori held her tighter, looking at Angelica with a worried gaze, "Your powers–"
"Don't ask unless you want to make a deal– mind you some oaths can be broken. " Angelica sauntered over to Orochi.
The Shogun is crawling away, cuts all over his body from the crab attack, some of the crustaceans still clinging to him, the purple-haired tyrant is groaning, clawing his way from them.
"Once Kaido comes, he will kill all of you."
Angelica stomped on his back, trapping him under her feet, her blade, shining in the sunlight of the flower capital, golden rays, highlighting the blood-stained blade.
"You can call for in hell." Angelica chuckles.
"Angelica, wait!"
Stab
The blade pierces the back of Orochi's head, peeking put of his forehead, life dying out of his eyes, facial expression frozen in shock. His last sight is the ruined pleasure district, a place he found the most joy, and pieces now his final resting place.
Thud
"Good riddance. " Angelica spits out, turning to her companion, she saw fear in Yamato's eyes, the horned girl is looking into the sky.
"What's wrong Yama?" Teach turns around and drops her blade.
"Fuck..." She mutters as her jaw drops.
The once blue skies are now grey, dark clouds hovering over Wano as in the sky a giant blue dragon is slithering in the air, looking down upon them as the mythical beast roars into the heavens, shaking the Earth itself.
"Kaido!" Toko cries out, burying her face in Hiyori's neck, urging her guardian to escape.
Yamato freezes like a deer under headlights, her confidence completely drained out,
"Why? Just as things are getting good." She whispers.
Angelica is aware of Kaido's reputation, the one dubbed the strongest creature in the world, feared by pirates and marines alike, one of the 4 Emperors of the sea.
"King, go find Queen, I'll take care of these pests. " Kaido orders as a black figure soars into the sky, moving at blinding speed.
King, Kaido's right hand and the last Lunarian in the world, also the wielder of the ancient zoan fruit, Pteradon, flames coating his back as he soars off, looking for Queen.
Kaido looks at Yamato's party, eyes glaring at the mess they caused.
"You killed Orochi?" Kaido's thunderous voice echoes. "Yamato." He calls out his son(daughter)
Yamato balls her fist," Father. " She clenches her teeth.
"I'll deal with you later, for now I'll kill your friends." He channels fire in his dark throat, the flame growing in the dragon's cavern, waiting to be released.
"RUN!" Angelica screams, snapping her fingers, her flames burn out, her powers blocked by Kaido's immense power.
'This is bad.' Angelica thinks to herself, mind racing for ways to escape.
"Ramos," Yamato calls out.
××××
Queen drags Ramos's dead body across the ground. " You're quite heavy brat." He complains, still in his hybrid form, he moves with Ramos across the destroyed mine, hoping to extract whatever is left of his body for his experiments.
"I hope your D anatomy is worth the trouble." He snickers.
"It's time to wake up Ramos."
