A dozen or so vice admirals, dozens of rear admirals and commodores, and nearly 1.5 naval soldiers including those from Enies Lobby...

With such a massive military force, destroying even a small country would be a piece of cake.

But now, they have been completely wiped out by the mere few members of the Straw Hat crew!

Although there's still a considerable gap between them and the level of the Four Emperors...

But now the Straw Hat crew can be considered the strongest under the Four Emperors!

The evidence is...

"Rubber Rubber - Thunder Elephant Gun!!!"

"Three-Sword Style Secret Technique: Dragon Swarm - Return to Nest!!!"

"Extreme Demon God's Wind Kick - Spicy Hot Pot!!!"

boom!!!

At the height of their struggle on the island of hesitation, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, who were barely holding on, unleashed a terrifying aura that stirred up the clouds in the sky.

The waves surged and roared incessantly, as if drumming up support for this battle!

After nearly half an hour of fierce fighting, Luffy and his two companions finally seized an opportunity, forming a triangular encirclement to intercept Kizaru, who had no way to avoid the attack, in the center of the battlefield.

Damn it!

Upon seeing this, Kizaru's expression suddenly changed, and his body quickly began to enter an elemental state.

However, the next second...

boom!!!

Having already anticipated Kizaru's move, Sanji instantly activated his Devil Fruit ability, his body suddenly transforming into a blazing flame that slammed into Kizaru's body.

However, due to the repeated use of his Devil Fruit ability, coupled with his eagerness to unleash it this time, his power was almost depleted, and even the force of this attack was not as strong as he had imagined.

Fortunately, Sanji's goal from beginning to end was not to harm Kizaru!

tread!

The jet-black leather shoes, enveloped in Armament Haki, suddenly stomped on Kizaru's abdomen, instantly kicking him out of his elemental state.

This also deprived Kizaru of his only chance to escape the pincer attack!

"Aww!!!"

In an instant!

The deafening roar of the dragon suddenly faded away behind him.

Zoro was enveloped in a thick aura of hell, and his three long swords gleamed with a bright metallic luster under the influence of Armament Haki.

Flames scorched the air, and lightning crackled around the longsword.

The power of the wind accompanies Zoro, and the brilliance of the ice guides him forward...

Swish! ! !

Without a sound, Zoro's figure suddenly flashed past Kizaru.

A strike imbued with Zoro's profound understanding of swordsmanship and Pokémon energy suddenly descended upon Kizaru's body.

The sharp slashes brought by the steel-attribute energy directly cut several wounds on Kizaru's back.

Blood gushed out, staining the air with a pool of crimson.

Before Kizaru could even realize the wound on his back, the power of various elemental attributes, such as wind, fire, and lightning, entered his body through the wound and continued to ravage his body.

Strange energies such as evil and ghosts began to relentlessly invade his brain, slowing his thinking.

Zoro's attack truly unleashed the full power of his body.

Like Sanji, having single-handedly withstood attacks from Marine Admirals, he was unable to unleash a second slash of such power.

Judging from the results, Zoro was undoubtedly a success!

Because he managed to inflict significant injuries on veteran Admiral Kizaru with such "meager" strength, which could even affect his future battles.

but……

That's all!

With Zoro's current strength, it would be wishful thinking to think he could defeat Kizaru.

While this might be a bit of a disappointment for Zoro and Sanji, who have been working so hard, they aren't the main focus today!

"Well done, Zoro and Sanji!!!"

Boom!!!

In his Gear Fourth God form, Luffy grinned widely, making his face, covered in flame runes, look exceptionally imposing.

He suddenly stretched his arm towards the sky!

There, Nami had just used the thunderclouds she had gathered to bombard the naval warships.

Although the remaining lightning energy within is minimal, it remains a perfect environment for the nurturing of lightning!

A bright blue electric light burst forth from Luffy's clenched fist.

Triple attack!

A Normal-type move that few people pay attention to in Pokémon games...

In the real world, however, it has become an important channel for the Straw Hat crew and even the members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet to control Pokémon energy!

In an instant, endless lightning burst forth on Luffy's arm, and under the influence of the thunderclouds, its power became even more terrifying.

Seeing that Zoro and Sanji's attacks were having an effect on Kizaru, Luffy seized the opportunity and directly transformed his arm into a giant form out of thin air.

next moment……

Luffy's fist, like a mammoth rushing out of a dark cave, suddenly flew out from the thunderclouds, carrying unparalleled thunderous power, and smashed fiercely towards Kizaru!

boom!!!

Kizaru, caught off guard by Zoro and Sanji's attacks, was completely caught off guard and struck directly by Luffy's terrifying thunderous punch!

"what--!!!!"

Luffy's face contorted in a ferocious grin as he unleashed a tremendous roar.

His fist seemed to be infused with magical power, and he actually sent Kizaru flying.

Its speed is comparable to his speed after he transforms into an elemental being!

Boom! ...

The last iconic building on Enies Lobby—the Bridge of Hesitation—was shattered in two by Kizaru's impact.

Countless stones fell from the sky and landed in the sea below.

Kizaru's body, having passed through the Bridge of Hesitation, plunged straight into the sea...

For half a day, there was still no movement.

"...Is it over?!"

tread!

Zoro, having withdrawn his dragon-attribute energy, landed on the ruins of the Bridge of Hesitation, looking at the huge splash of water caused by Kizaru with a puzzled and surprised expression, his tone becoming inexplicable.

After landing, Sanji lit a cigarette, took a drag to calm himself, and then slowly spoke:

"It's... over."

tread!

Luffy, who fell from the sky, landed precisely between Zoro and Sanji, looking down at the sea from the ruins of the Bridge of Hesitation.

"There's no one in sight anymore~"

Luffy covered his eyes with his hands, but his brows furrowed slightly.

Although Kizaru has fallen into the sea, given Blackbeard's precedent, the formula that a Devil Fruit user falling into the sea does not necessarily mean death has already been deeply ingrained in their minds.

Zoro, standing to the side, seemed to have seen through everything, and said with great experience:

"The opponent is the Navy's top combat force, a guy even stronger than Blackbeard. He can't possibly be defeated so easily!"

"You two wait for me, I'm going to search in the sea!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zoro quickly sheathed his sword and made a move to jump into the sea.

After all, Luffy and Sanji, who are both Devil Fruit users, are the most suitable person for this job!

But just then...

"Wait a moment!"

Luffy suddenly reached out and stopped Zoro, then stared at Zoro with a strange expression for a long time before finally hesitatingly laughing it off:

"Maybe... we should just forget about it!"

"Anyway, we've already defeated him, haven't we?!"

Why bother doing those troublesome things!

At this moment, Luffy seemed to have forgotten Akane's constant reminders and actually wanted to let Kizaru, who had fallen into the sea, go.

“But…” A look of doubt flashed in Zoro’s eyes.

Although they and Kizaru are on opposing sides, there is really no reason for them to fight to the death.

However, due to the Blackbeard incident and the influence of Crimson, they have already realized...

Defeating your opponent without completely eliminating them will only bring more trouble to your future self.

Sanji, standing to the side, blurted out without thinking, "Idiot! Do you want to get lost in the deep sea and then have other people look for you?!"

Sanji hit the nail on the head, directly pointing out why they didn't trust Zoro.

However, he quickly softened his tone and explained:
