Chapter 48 - Chapter 45: The Deaf Captain's Orders & The Strategic Swap

Not long after Kaido arrived, Whitebeard stepped through the dust. He carried Murakumogiri effortlessly, his eyes scanning the monstrosities before him.

"York," Whitebeard rumbled. "What are we looking at?"

York pointed at the four Titans.

"Those are the Five Elders. The Gorosei. The public face of the World Government."

"Public face?" Whitebeard narrowed his eyes, catching the implication immediately.

York pointed up at the sky, where the Possessed Woman hovered, her body still split into four severed segments that refused to heal.

"That thing possessing the woman... is the true King of the World. The one hidden in the shadows."

Whitebeard's grip on his bisento tightened.

"Is that who Rocks wants to kill?"

"Yes."

Rocks D. Xebec walked over to them.

He looked terrible. Blood trickled from his ears. Bloody tear tracks stained his cheeks. But his Haki was blazing like a dying star.

"It's surprising," Rocks shouted—his voice too loud, unable to regulate his volume due to deafness. "I didn't think you three would help me!"

"Hmph," York scoffed. "We're just here to watch you die, old man."

Rocks didn't react. He couldn't hear the insult.

He grinned, a feral, broken expression.

"WAHAHAHA! Four of us against five of them! We have a chance!!"

Rocks pointed his sword at the enemies, assigning targets.

"That Worm (Ju Peter) is the weakest! Kaido, you take him!"

"That Bird (Mars) is crippled! York, finish him off!"

"That Horse (Nusjuro) is strong! Newgate, handle him!"

"The Boar (Warcury) and the Woman (Imu)... ARE MINE!!"

"KILL THEM ALL!! THE WORLD IS OURS!!"

The three subordinates exchanged glances. None of them objected aloud. There was no point talking to a deaf man.

But in their minds, they immediately revised the plan.

The World Government forces were in disarray.

* Ju Peter (Sandworm): Writhing on the ground, incapacitated by York's 50x Pleasure injection.

* Mars (Itsumade): Half-crippled by Rocks' previous slash.

* Imu (Avatar): Split into quarters, unable to heal due to Rocks' "Space-Tearing" Haki.

* Warcury & Nusjuro: Intact and fresh.

They looked like a collection of the old, weak, and disabled. But their eyes remained arrogant.

They were Immortal.

Time was on their side. Once Rocks' Haki faded from their wounds, they would heal instantly. Rocks' stamina would run out. Theirs would not.

It was a race against time.

A breeze blew across the shattered island.

WHOOSH.

Suddenly, everyone moved.

But they didn't follow Rocks' orders.

Kaido ignored the Worm. He transformed into his Azure Dragon form and shot into the sky.

"WORORORO! I want the sky!!"

He targeted Saint Marcus Mars (The Monstrous Bird).

ROAR!

Kaido unleashed a Blast Breath. Mars shrieked and spewed his own hellfire. Two suns collided in the sky, exploding into a massive fireball.

Whitebeard charged.

He targeted Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro (The Skeletal Horse).

CLANG.

Murakumogiri (Quake) met Shodai Kitetsu (Ice). The air cracked. Whitebeard's vibration held back the freezing slash of the Elder.

Rocks didn't care that his orders were ignored. He only saw the strongest enemy.

He charged at Saint Topman Warcury (The Boar).

BOOM!

Rocks' black blade slammed into Warcury's tusks. The Boar stumbled back, his indestructible hide groaning under the pressure of the Pirate King's Haki.

That left York.

He ignored the Bird. He charged straight for the Sandworm (Ju Peter).

"Strike while the iron is hot," York muttered. "Cripple the weak one permanently."

Ju Peter was still twitching on the ground, his mind lost in the euphoria of the previous attack. He was defenseless.

York leaped high into the air. He cocked his fist, channeling maximum Haki.

"Fist Bone: Galaxy Crush!!"

SMASH!

York punched the giant worm in the midsection. The impact was devastating. The worm was blasted into two clean halves.

But York wasn't done.

He dove inside the hollow, severed upper half of the worm's body.

"Wake up? Not a chance."

"ORA ORA ORA ORA!!"

York unleashed a barrage of rapid-fire punches against the inner flesh of the worm.

Application #4: Pleasure Stacking.

* Punch 1: 50x (Already active)

* Punch 2: +3x

* Punch 10: +30x

* Punch 50: +150x

"ENJOY ETERNITY!"

In seconds, York stacked the pleasure multiplier into the hundreds.

Ju Peter's body convulsed violently, foaming at the mouth. Even as his immortal body began to stitch itself back together, his mind was completely shattered. He was trapped in a vegetative state of pure ecstasy.

Saint Shepherd Ju Peter was neutralized.

York jumped out of the worm's carcass, wiping slime from his coat.

He looked up at the sky.

Imu (The Possessed Woman) was still floating there, her body separated into four floating chunks.

York's eyes narrowed with curiosity.

'If I use my ability on the Avatar... does the pleasure transmit to the main body in Mary Geoise?'

'If it does...'

A twisted grin spread across York's face.

'That would be interesting.'

High above, one of Imu's floating eyes swiveled down to look at him.

"Atlas D. York," the hollow voice echoed from the severed head.

"A newly born Devil Fruit ability. Never recorded in history."

"Worth collecting."
