Hearing what Foz Fu said, Kidd clenched his teeth in fury, barely suppressing the urge to charge forward.
"Bai Yu, you killed Sasaki… don't think you'll be leaving here alive," Kidd growled.
Foz Fu stepped forward, halting Kidd with an outstretched arm. His cold gaze fixed on Bai Yu.
"A traitor from CP9 dares to bark in front of me?" Bai Yu sneered, the corners of his lips curling into a mocking smirk.
Foz Fu's pupils narrowed.
Once a top agent of the World Government's CP9, he was renowned as one of their strongest operatives. But his fate changed the day the transport mission of the Gomu Gomu no Mi was ambushed by the Red-Haired Pirates. Shanks himself led the raid, taking the fruit and humiliating the government. Foz Fu, captured and blamed for the failure, was imprisoned in Impel Down. After a daring escape, he defected to the Beasts Pirates and climbed the ranks to become one of the Tobi Roppo—the Flying Six.
"How dare you… you want to die?!" Foz Fu roared, his fury ignited by Bai Yu's mention of his disgraced past.
ROAR!
In an instant, he activated his Zoan Devil Fruit—transforming into his saber-toothed tiger hybrid form.
ROAR!
At the same moment, Ulti, nearby, responded by unleashing her own Zoan powers, taking on her Pachycephalosaurus hybrid form.
Meanwhile, two members of the Donquixote Family sprang into action.
Treo of the Sticky-Sticky Fruit began oozing viscous mucus from every pore.
Pica activated his Stone-Stone Fruit, absorbing the surrounding earth and morphing into a towering stone colossus.
Bai Yu's calm mockery had ignited the fury of all five combatants.
In the next moment, Foz Fu was the first to strike.
"Blade Gun!"
BOOM!
He slashed his dagger forward, unleashing a crescent-shaped air slash that whistled through the battlefield, surging toward Bai Yu.
As a CP9 agent, Foz Fu had mastered all six forms of Rokushiki. Now enhanced by his Zoan hybrid strength, his techniques carried devastating force.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
While the air slash closed in, Ulti and Treo attacked from opposite flanks—coordinated and relentless.
BOOM!
From the rear, Pica swung a massive stone fist, while Kidd activated his magnetically-forged mechanical arm, aiming to crush Bai Yu from above.
Not one of them hesitated. Despite being fierce pirates with reputations to uphold, they attacked in unison—focused solely on eliminating Bai Yu.
"Five-on-one?" Bai Yu's voice dripped with disdain. "That's all you've got?"
He didn't flinch.
Having recently clashed with legends like Garp and Silvers Rayleigh, Bai Yu considered these opponents a tier below.
"Then let's play."
Bai Yu sprang into action.
BOOM!
Rather than dodging Foz Fu's air slash, he charged straight at it.
Drawing the Sakuragi Blade, he infused it with flaming Sword Intent. A wave of pressure erupted.
HUMMMM!
Armament Haki instantly coated the weapon, transforming it into a jet-black blade.
He slashed upward.
BOOOOOM!!
The air slash detonated upon impact, the shockwave scattering smoke and debris in all directions.
From within the smoke, Bai Yu's figure burst forth unharmed—his momentum unbroken.
He was instantly flanked by Ulti and Treo.
Using Observation Haki, Bai Yu locked onto both their movements. He could see the trajectory of their next strike.
His grin widened.
"Sticky Meteor!" Treo yelled from the left, hurling a torrent of slime toward Bai Yu. If caught, Bai Yu would be immobilized.
On the right, Ulti charged, her armored dinosaur skull wrapped in a thick layer of Armament Haki, aiming for a devastating headbutt.
Her strike carried the force of a ship-busting cannonball.
But Bai Yu's response was cold.
"Too slow."
Just as their attacks were about to land, Bai Yu dropped to the ground, letting the attacks pass over him.
BOOM!
SPLASH!
Ulti's attack struck Treo's slime by mistake, sending globs of it flying.
"You idiot!" Ulti shouted, her face drenched in sticky mucus.
"You've got no time to argue."
Bai Yu's voice echoed beneath them.
Supporting himself with one hand, Bai Yu spun his body horizontally.
WHAM! WHAM!
Kicking upward with both legs coated in Haki, he struck Treo and Ulti square in the chest.
BOOM!!
Both were launched skyward like ragdolls.
More shocking still—Bai Yu had calculated their flight paths perfectly.
They were sent colliding directly with the descending fists of Pica and Kidd!
BANG! BANG!
A double impact shook the battlefield.
Ulti and Treo crashed violently to the ground, vomiting blood on impact.
In mere seconds, two of the five attackers were incapacitated.
All according to Bai Yu's design.
Still mid-air, Bai Yu flipped back, landing gracefully on his feet.
His gaze now locked on Foz Fu.
SFX: WHOOSH!
With a burst of speed, he dashed forward.
Foz Fu responded instantly.
"Tekkai!" (Iron Body)
"Busoshoku Haki!"
His body turned steel-hard as both Haki and Tekkai activated in unison.
Muscles bulged beneath striped fur, eyes wild with rage.
Bai Yu's black blade gleamed, ready to meet his next target.
