One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

"hateful!!!"

Kaido let out a deafening roar, his voice now devoid of any of its previous arrogance, filled instead with fury and incredulous horror.

His enormous azure dragon body struggled violently in the deep pit in the ground, and his dragon blood gushed out like a spring, staining the rocks beneath him crimson.

"Roar--!!!"

With a deafening roar, Kaido's Conqueror's Haki surged as if it were solid, colliding violently with the six remaining supernatural powers on his wounds. His dragon eyes were crimson, burning with a final frenzy and fighting spirit.

"Kid...don't be so arrogant!"

Kaido's body swelled up again, veins bulging beneath his dragon scales, and his muscles bulging like rocks.

He concentrated all his power, domineering aura, and anger into one point, and the entire Ghost Island trembled under his violent aura.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!!"

Kaido swung his dragon tail, which was wrapped in purple-black lightning, like a thunderbolt that split the heavens and the earth, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, and slammed it towards Zoro, who was suspended in mid-air!

This strike was his last act of dignity and roar as one of the Four Emperors!

however--

"too slow."

Zoro's voice was eerily calm, like a pronouncement from the depths of hell.

Having sparred with Sanji for so long, this level of speed was no different from time standing still in his eyes.

A cold glint flashed in all six of his eyes simultaneously.

The three heads simultaneously exhaled a breath of foul air, and the six arms suddenly gripped the black sword tightly.

The phoenix's blue flames surged instantly, condensing into a huge flaming wing behind him. Destructive black light flowed across the Qiongqi's body, and the Qilin's horn emitted bewitching ripples.

"Six Paths, Demons and Gods, Rondo!"

Zoro's figure flickered like a ghost, and six black swords drew six completely different trajectories in the air.

Freedom, death, illusion, destruction, agility, rebirth.

Six forces intertwined to form a web of death, meeting Kaido's Thunder Bagua.

boom--!!!

Two forces capable of destroying the heavens and the earth collided fiercely in mid-air!

In that instant, the sky above Ghost Island seemed to be torn apart. The entire island trembled violently under the violent impact, countless cracks spread along the mountainside, and rubble fell like rain.

Lightning, flames, thunder, and domineering aura... all sorts of forces intertwined, collided, and annihilated wildly in mid-air.

"Captain Kaido!!!"

Seeing their captain completely suppressed by the green-haired demon, the three captains' anxiety and anger finally broke through the trembling that originated from their very souls.

"Stop right there!!!"

With a roar, Jin unfurled his wings, and black flames rose from his body, transforming into a shooting star that hurtled straight into the battlefield.

Quinn's mechanical arm muzzle lit up simultaneously, and countless missiles locked onto Sauron like a swarm of bees.

"Get out of the way! Don't block my path, you green-haired devil!"

Jack transformed into a giant mammoth, crushing the earth like a moving mountain as he hurtled towards Zoro.

The combined attack of the three top figures is enough to make any strong person take notice.

however--

Zoro didn't even turn around.

The head, radiating vibrant life force, turned slightly, and a cold glint flashed in its amber vertical pupils.

"It's in the way."

The moment he finished speaking, Zoro's enormous phoenix wings of fire suddenly flapped!

A shockwave, composed of blue flames and black domineering aura, swept outwards like a tsunami!

boom--!!!

Before Jhin, Quinn, and Jack could even make any defensive moves, they were struck head-on by that violent, almost absurd force!

Their bodies flew backward like rag dolls, falling through the gap at the edge of Ghost Island at an even faster speed than when they arrived, tracing three tragic arcs before disappearing into the clouds below.

With a single palm strike, he defeated all three of the four emperors' lieutenants.

This is not even a battle from the same dimension.

When Kaido regained his balance from the impact of that attack, he witnessed his left and right arms falling like meteors.

A flicker of despair finally surfaced in those abyss-like dragon eyes.

"Kaido."

Zoro's voice rang out like a judgment, and his six black swords simultaneously pointed at the blue dragon on the ground:

"This farce should end now."

As he spoke, he simultaneously raised six jet-black swords with all six of his arms, and the power of the six mythical beast species surged, merged, and sublimated wildly on the blades.

"This sword strike—"

Zoro's six eyes lit up simultaneously, like six burning stars.

"It is called—Six Paths of the Great Thousand Worlds!"

Slay him!

Six jet-black swords swung down simultaneously, but merged into one the instant they landed—

It was a strike that transcended color and form.

It was as if even the light itself was swallowed up by this sword, transforming into a pure trajectory of "nothingness" capable of severing all things in the world.

Wherever the sword light passed, space was silently torn apart, leaving a dark rift as deep as an abyss.

Kaido's eyes widened; he didn't even have time to let out his final roar—

The slash had already passed right by his body.

Immediately afterwards—

It's Ghost Island.

The slash, after piercing through Kaido, showed no sign of weakening and continued forward, ever forward—

It cuts through mountain peaks, through rocks, and through everything that stands in its way.

Then, there's the entire ghost island.

Starting from the top, a straight crack extends down along the mountain, like a divine paintbrush, splitting this giant skull island that sits in the sky above the Land of Harmony in two!

Rumble—!!!

The cracked mountain began to tilt and collapse, with huge rocks falling to both sides like waterfalls.

And that slash did not stop even after it had completely sliced ​​the island in two.

It pierced through the clouds, cut through the sky, and fell upon the land of Wano Country with an unstoppable force!

boom--!!!

The earth trembled violently!

A massive, bottomless chasm stretching for thousands of meters lies across the land of Wano Country, like a scar on the earth.

From the ghost island to the ground, from the sky to the earth—

Cut in two with one stroke.

The long-awaited sunshine returned to Wano Country.

Chapter 256 A Bunch of Useless Trash

The sky over Wano Country was clearer than ever before.

The sword mark that pierced through Ghost Island and cleaved the earth is like an eternal scar, branded on this land that has suffered so much.

Sunlight pierced through the broken clouds, scattering across the parched land of Wano Country, its warm rays dispelling the gloom that had shrouded the land for years.

On Onigashima, Zoro slowly sheathed his six black swords, and the features of his Mythical Zoan species gradually faded, transforming him back into the green-haired swordsman.

He stood atop the cleaved Skull Mountain, looking down at the chasm stretching for thousands of miles below, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

"It's so-so."

In the sky, on the deck of the Going Merry, Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, commented on Zoro's attack.

In fact, this was exactly what he was thinking.

If it were him, Zoro would never have been able to seize the opportunity to unleash a slash of that magnitude.

"It seems I underestimated your progress."

……

……

A week later.

New World Seas, Headquarters of World Economic Herald.

The office building, resembling a bird's nest, was filled with the sounds of papers rustling and the incessant ringing of Den Den Mushi (snail phone shuriken).

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Morgans's sharp bird-like eyes were fixed on the secret report that had just been delivered to his hand, his feathered fingers trembling slightly with extreme excitement.

"Hehehehe..."

He chuckled softly, the laughter growing louder and louder, echoing in the empty office, startling several newsbirds that fluttered up from the windowsill.

"I never imagined that such earth-shattering news, enough to rewrite the world order, would be spread across the globe through my hands, Morgans!"

He whirled around, looking at the quiet figure standing in the office, his voice filled with barely suppressed fervor:

"This is truly... thank you so much for your trust, Mr. V!"
