One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

The black hull of the Hades warship was fully above the water, reflecting a cold metallic luster in the midday sun.

Roy stood on the deck, his Observation Haki spread out to its limit.

The Golden Lion's floating fleet was less than ten nautical miles away, and the floating islands stood out starkly against the dark clouds.

Further away,

Big Mom's international fleet is cutting through the waves at full speed, with the figurehead of its flagship, the Queen Mother, appearing and disappearing amidst the spray.

And the navy.

The warship stopped further away, its presence deliberately concealed.

But in Roy's perception, the life strength of Garp, Zephyr, and the three admirals was like a lighthouse in the dark, impossible to hide.

Kaido was still looking up at the main cannon, his eyes, as big as copper bells, wide open.

He kept muttering things like "good stuff" and "I've hit the jackpot," completely oblivious to his surroundings.

"Kaido."

Roy's voice wasn't loud, but the urgency in his tone made Kaido instantly stop smiling.

"The Golden Lion will arrive in less than fifteen minutes."

Big Mom is about the same.

And the navy.

Roy pointed to several blurry black dots on the distant horizon.

They are all rushing this way.

No one may be allowed near Hades.

Kaido's face no longer displayed his usual maniacal laughter; instead, it was filled with suppressed rage.

He gripped the spiked club tightly, his knuckles cracking.

"How do you plan to fight?"

"We split into two groups."

Roy speaks very fast.

"Go and stop Shiki the Golden Lion, keep him outside Wano Country's mainland, and don't let the battlefield spill over into Onigashima's interior."

"I'm taking Hades back to Onigashima, and Jhin is coming with me."

"Upon arriving at Onigashima, have Jin immediately gather all your officers. The battle must take place on the outskirts of Onigashima, not inland."

Kaido paused for a moment, then grinned.

There was no excitement in that smile, only pure killing intent.

"Leave it to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido kicked the Pluton deck with both legs.

Kaido shot into the sky like a cannonball, leaving a straight trail of air in his wake.

Roy looked up at the figure that was flying higher and higher.

In mid-air, blue scales surged out from under Kaido's skin.

His hands transformed into sharp claws, his legs into a dragon's tail, his spine extended into a long dragon body, and his body rapidly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, a giant blue dragon, over a thousand meters long, coiled in the sky, its head held high and its whiskers dancing wildly in the sea breeze.

Kaido twisted his dragon body and crashed fiercely into the dark, floating islands in the distance.

The dragon's roar shook the heavens, its sound echoing across the entire sea.

"Hehehehe~ You old lion!! I'll have to test my skills on you!!"

Roy withdrew his gaze and turned to Jhin beside him.

"Let's go. Back to Ghost Island."

Telekinesis surged from within his body, enveloping the Hades warship completely like an invisible giant hand.

The black behemoth, hundreds of meters long, slowly rose into the air, seawater pouring down its hull and splashing large white sprays on the sea below.

Jin stood beside Roy, his hand on the hilt of his sword, and glanced back at the distant sky.

The golden mane of the Golden Lion was dazzling in the sunlight. He stood on the edge of the largest floating island, with Sakura and the withered tree crossed in front of him.

Kaido's azure dragon body lunged at him, its dragon claws, imbued with crimson Conqueror's Haki, tearing towards Shiki's face.

The golden lion grinned, its twin swords slashing out in a golden wave of energy.

The two forces exploded in mid-air.

The shockwave tore the surrounding clouds to shreds, and a ten-meter-high wave rose from the sea below.

The floating island beneath the golden lion's feet trembled violently, and a large amount of rubble collapsed from its edges and fell into the sea.

"Hehehehe!"

Kaido!

You stinking snake, even Hades can't swallow you all by himself!

"Whether I can swallow it or not, you try and see!!"

Kaido's dragon tail swept across, striking the twin swords that Shiki had raised, sending him flying dozens of meters along with his swords.

The golden lion flipped in the air to dissipate the force, and the floating rocks beneath its feet gathered again to support its body, its smile becoming even more ferocious.

The battle between the two became intense from the very beginning.

Roy didn't watch any further.

He steered Hades at full speed toward Ghost Island, the massive black ship cutting through the clouds, its hull leaving a long trail as it skimmed across the sea of ​​clouds.

The outline of Ghost Island gradually became clear on the horizon.

Jin suddenly spoke,

"Golden Lion's fleet isn't just his; the Flying Pirates also have quite a few officers."

Roy nodded.

"Therefore, we need your Beasts Pirates to hold them off. Pluto is too big to hide; we can only defend it."

Jin remained silent for a moment: "Understood."

The Pluto warship landed on the cliff edge of Ghost Island.

The ship's hull was longer than the sides of the Skull Palace, and its ridiculously large main cannon was pointed directly at the distant sea.

Even when still, it exudes a sense of oppression that sends chills down your spine.

Roy jumped off the deck, and after landing on his feet, he looked back at the behemoth with a slight frown.

too big.

It can be seen from any direction at sea; there is absolutely no possibility of hiding.

"Stop here for now. We'll talk after we're done fighting."

Jin stopped wasting words. The Pteranodon's wings spread from its back, its black feathers gleaming with a dark red luster in the setting sun.

He leaped off the cliff and plunged into the heart of Ghost Island.

The next second, a deep horn sounded throughout Ghost Island.

That was the highest-level rallying order.

Throughout Onigashima, members of the Beasts Pirates stopped what they were doing.

Quinn put down the dessert plate and rubbed his greasy fingers on his pants.

Jack rushed out of the training field, still carrying that giant iron bar in his hand.

Now all five members of the Flying Five stood up, and Forsford's eyes flashed beneath his mask.

In the sky,

As Jin's figure swept past, his short, powerful voice echoed throughout the entire Ghost Island.

"Everyone—! Assemble in the square."

Roy stood on the deck of Pluto, hands in his pockets, watching the flags of the international fleets gradually approaching on the distant sea.

Dozens of pirate flags fluttered in the sea breeze, and the design of Big Mom's pirate flag, with her hat and crossed scimitars, was particularly dazzling in the setting sun.

Roy tapped the hilt of the knife lightly with his fingers.

Golden Lion, Big Mom, Navy.

Three forces, one goal.

Come on.

Let's see who can snatch Pluto—or rather, let's see who can leave this sea alive.

The sound of horns still echoed over the ghost island.

Members of the Beasts Pirates poured into the plaza in front of the Skull Palace from all directions.

Bloodline soldiers, mechanized units, and ordinary combatants stood in densely packed rows.

The sounds of footsteps and the clanging of weapons mingled together, enveloping the entire square in a chilling atmosphere.

Ember spread its wings and hovered above the plaza, delivering commands in a short, powerful voice.

"Everyone—assemble in the square!"

Quinn arrived first.

His obese body swayed as he rushed to the center of the square, still chewing on a dessert he hadn't swallowed, and he mumbled incoherently.

"Brother Jin!"

What's going on?

Enemy attack?

Jack, who was promoted to head of the company, followed closely behind.

With a giant training iron bar slung over his shoulder, his stern and rigid face was filled with fighting spirit as he stood silently next to Quinn.

His arm muscles were taut, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

All five members of the Fei family were present.

Forzford was the fastest, his eyes under the mask scanning the surroundings, pausing on Jhin for half a second before moving away.

Sasaki and Black Maria walked side by side, and Runti impatiently urged Pageman to hurry up by pulling his arm.

The other cadres, including Holdem, Speed, and Babanuki, also took their places and stood in formation in the square.
