Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"what?"

Sanji was a little annoyed by Katakuri's inexplicable words. What did he mean by "not bad enough"?

We haven't even met the marriage partner yet!

There wasn't much to say when facing a common enemy, so he simply vented his anger on the forest dweller in front of him.

"Demon Wind Kick!"

Sanji roared and kicked Aramaki from the sky, the flames turning into a huge shockwave in the air.

If Kuzan joins in now, he'll definitely teach this guy with the Forest Fruit a lesson about what it means to be a forest fire and ice man.

Although Aramaki was powerful, he was unable to break through the simultaneous attacks of these two Yonko-level executives for a time.

"hateful!"

Wildgrass growled irritably, and his tree-trunk-like hands plunged into the ground. In an instant, the ground of the entire Isle of Eregia began to tremble violently, and countless thick tree roots emerged from the ground, dancing wildly like pythons.

"Get out of my way!"

Sanji and Katakuri leaped up at the same time, dodging the tree roots that suddenly emerged from beneath their feet, but the tree roots seemed to be alive, twisting and continuing their pursuit in the air.

"Demon God's Wind Kick!"

Sanji's feet began to glow with azure flames, spinning continuously in the air, his legs creating countless afterimages as he kicked and shattered the pursuing tree roots one by one.

It's so hot!

What's with this fire attribute? Everyone on the high seas has it.

The forest was instantly burned down, followed by a powerful impact that rushed directly towards his body.

That wasn't the end of it. On the other side, Katakuri was even more direct. His mochi-like body twisted and deformed in the air, dodging the tree roots while his trident stabbed fiercely at Aramaki's main body.

"Will this ever end?"

Huang Mu snorted coldly, his tree-trunk-like arms crossed to block, the trident only leaving a shallow mark on them.

Ah!

Totemjika let out a sharp wail.

He was already being forced to retreat by Luffy.

"Isn't it some ancient demon?"

Huang Mu curled his lip, cursing inwardly.

He knew time was running out, and if he couldn't deal with Uta quickly, things would become even more complicated once the rest of the Straw Hat crew came out of the Song World.

But these two guys in front of me are really not easy to deal with.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of Fujitora not far away out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey, Fujitora! What are you standing there for?! Get moving!"

Fujitora did not move.

He stood there quietly, his blind eyes gazing toward the battlefield.

"Fujitora!"

Huang Mu shouted again, his tone clearly annoyed.

With two generals here, no one can stop them except Luffy!

Fujitora said, "I heard you, but I won't do anything."

"what?!"

Huang Mu's eyes widened. "Are you crazy?! This is an order from the Five Elders!"

"I know."

Fujitora slowly raised his head, his blind eyes gazing at the sky. "But I also have my own sense of justice. Those civilians are still alive, just asleep. If we kill Uta now, they'll never wake up again. That's not justice, that's slaughter."

Foolish!

Huang Mu was so angry he couldn't speak.

Just then, a figure slowly walked up to Fujitora.

It's Zoro.

"Hey, blind man."

He said, "Since you're so conflicted, then come and stop me."

Fujitora was slightly taken aback.

Zoro continued, "If you do nothing here, you won't be able to explain yourself when you go back. I've been itching to test my sword on someone tough guy lately."

The tip of the blade pointed at Fujitora. "Is that a Supreme Grade Sword in your hand? What's its name?"

Fujitora remained silent for a moment, then slowly drew his cane sword, which contained a straight-bladed sword with a straight blade and a cleaving edge.

"This sword is Gambler's Blade, one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords."

Zoro's fighting spirit intensified.

"very good,"

He took a deep breath, twirling three knives in his hands. "Then I won't hold back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot.

In the next instant, three sharp blades appeared simultaneously in front of Fujitora.

Although Fujitora has no eyes, his Observation Haki is incredibly powerful. He slightly turned his body and slashed horizontally with his staff, accurately blocking Zoro's three-sword combo.

clang!

Swords clashed, producing a crisp metallic clang. Shockwaves spread outwards, kicking up clouds of dust.

Zoro's eyes narrowed.

The guy who became a general is indeed extraordinary.

Fujitora took a half step back and slashed down with his staff sword. A purple light of gravity spread out from the tip of the sword, and Zoro felt his body sink as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

"Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!"

Fujitora let out a low shout, slashing horizontally with his staff and sword. The purple gravity wave transformed into the shape of a fierce tiger, roaring towards Zoro.

Zoro gritted his teeth and slashed forward with all three swords at the same time.

"Three-Sword Style: Ultimate Tiger Hunt!"

The three sword lights collided with the purple tiger, unleashing an astonishing shockwave that violently shook the surrounding air and cracked the ground inch by inch.

Although the fight between the two was intense, they both deliberately controlled the scope of the battle to avoid harming the sleeping civilians nearby.

Zoro took a few steps back to steady himself, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"interesting."

He licked his lips. "Again!"

Fujitora remained silent, only gripping the cane-sword in his hand tightly.

"Everyone has something to do,"

Just as Zoro and Fujitora were fighting, Kuzan stood lazily to the side and yawned.

He looked around at the battle situation and scratched his head.

Meanwhile, Luffy and Totem Gika were engaged in a fierce battle in the distance, Sanji and Katakuri joined forces to stop Aramaki, and Zoro and Fujitora were locked in a fierce fight.

"Looks like I'm the only one with a lot of free time?"

Kuzan muttered to himself, then looked at Totemjika in the distance, "Let's deal with this guy first."

He flexed his wrists, and ice began to form beneath his feet. However, just as he was about to make his move, his Observation Haki suddenly detected something, and he abruptly turned his head to look towards the horizon.

"That Akainu guy!"

Kuzan gritted his teeth, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

There, dozens of naval warships are cutting through the waves.

He saw two people he knew all too well standing on the flagships of those warships.

A man wearing a red suit.

Admiral Sakazuki.

Standing next to him was a man wearing a yellow striped suit.

Navy Admiral Kizaru.

Then the outlines of a large number of warships appeared.

Kuzan's face instantly darkened. "Even you guys came?"

"Attention everyone!"

Akainu's voice echoed throughout the fleet via a megaphone Den Den Mushi: "The target is the Sing-Sing Fruit user on Eregia Island. Anyone who gets in our way is our enemy, and will be killed without mercy!"

"Does that include the civilians?" a young officer couldn't help but ask.

Akainu glanced at him, his icy gaze sending a chill down his spine. "Those civilians have been controlled by the ability users. They are no longer civilians, but enemies."

He withdrew his gaze, his tone eerily calm, "Fire."

Just then, the warships in the distance suddenly opened fire.

Countless shells rained down on Eregia Island like a storm, their target the stage area on the island.

Kuzan's face darkened, and he suddenly raised his hand, his palm flashing with cold light.

Ice Age!

In an instant, endless ice erupted from his palm, condensing into a massive ice wall in the air. The ice wall stretched between the cannonballs and the island, intercepting all the cannonballs.

boom!

Bang bang bang!
