"Not bad, old man! Didn't expect to find someone like you on the open sea!"
Doflamingo leapt down from the Royal Platform using his strings, landing not far from Madara. Other members of the Donquixote family followed closely behind.
Tsunade and the others had already transformed and moved to stand behind Arima. The two sides faced each other, tension crackling in the air.
"Coming prepared, are we?"
Doflamingo didn't waste words. His hands morphed into claws, slashing directly toward Madara.
Madara twisted aside just in time, but the stone platform behind him was carved with five deep gashes.
"Huh? An invisible attack? Devil Fruit ability?!"
Arima, disguised as Madara, tested Doflamingo with cautious strikes. A ninja's first priority in battle is to gather intel and find the opponent's weaknesses.
While the two sparred, the rest of the fighters also clashed.
The civilians who had gathered earlier fled in panic, and the plaza quickly emptied, leaving only the combatants.
…
"Hehe, the Donquixote family's top executive Pica, sharp and piercing voice, truly unbearable!"
Tsunade transformed into her ally Orochimaru, perfectly imitating even his voice and mannerisms.
"Shut up! Hey ya, I'll kill you!"
Pica, angered by Orochimaru's words, instantly transformed into a giant stone figure, raising his fist and slamming it down hard.
Orochimaru focused chakra into his fist, meeting Pica's strike head-on.
Their fists collided; Pica's stone arm shattered from the blow, and the shockwave leveled nearby buildings.
As a Stone-Stone Fruit user, Pica could freely move through rock formations, so the strike caused him no real damage.
"Looks like we're in for some fun today, hehe…"
Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice.
…
Mito transformed into her husband, Hashirama, adopting his demeanor and fighting style with playful energy.
"You thugs! I will never allow you to destroy the peace here!"
Hashirama's voice boomed as he confronted Diamante.
Diamante wore a fringed hat, two facial markings, and a red cloak, giving him an odd, tribal appearance.
He grinned. "Peace is meant to be broken! Since you say so, I'll make sure it's destroyed to your satisfaction!"
"Water Release: Water Jet Wave!"
Hashirama clasped his hands together, instantly summoning a swirling water vortex like a tornado, crashing toward Diamante like divine punishment.
Diamante, a master swordsman, made his sword flow like silk, twisting into bull-like forms and smashing repeatedly to disperse the water vortex, neutralizing Hashirama's attack.
"Not bad, but what Devil Fruit ability is that?"
Mito clapped her hands, laughing in admiration.
"Nothing special!"
"Diamond Lock!"
"Sword: Serpent Blade!"
…
Natsuka, familiar with Jiraiya from previous encounters, had received guidance in Fire Release techniques and now transformed into him to fight.
"Oh my, you're all sticky, aren't you?"
Jiraiya shuffled forward in wooden clogs, wobbling toward top executive Trebol.
"Behehe, who are you people? Doflamingo won't forgive you!"
"I am none other than Mount Myoboku's Toad Sage, Jiraiya! Oh my…"
Natsuka's imitation was surprisingly accurate, earning Tsunade's amused smile from the sidelines.
"Behehe, you think you're lucky, huh? Our supporters… Behehe, almost let that slip."
Trebol steadied his plum-marked cane with one hand while covering his mouth with the other.
"Oh my, so there's an even stronger mastermind behind you! I'll capture you first, then find out! Fire Release: Great Fireball!"
Natsuka had mastered Sage techniques. She condensed her chakra into oil inside her body, expelled it through her mouth, and ignited it with Fire Release: Great Fireball.
This B-rank jutsu was ten times stronger than the standard C-rank Fireball.
Trebol's Sticky-Sticky Fruit allowed him to trap opponents in mucus, but its weakness was fire, highly flammable, it exploded violently when ignited.
Seeing the giant flames, Trebol hid behind rubble. Yet the heat melted the sticky substance all over him, forcing him to flee in panic.
Jiraiya's fire techniques proved the perfect counter to his Devil Fruit, though relief came when help arrived to assist him.
Natsuka, alone against two opponents, found herself in a tense stalemate.
…
Nawaki transformed into Tobirama, and faced Donquixote executive Gladius.
Gladius, a Bomb-Bomb Fruit user, resembled the explosive Kekkei Genkai shinobi of Iwagakure.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
Nawaki formed the hand seals and unleashed a water dragon at Gladius.
"Huh? Strange fighting style! Who are you?"
Gladius growled.
"Call me Senju Tobirama," Nawaki replied, mimicking his great-grandfather's tone perfectly.
"Senju Tobirama? Senju…?! What's your relation to Arima?"
Gladius eyed him warily.
"Arima? Naturally, he's the Third Hokage of Konoha! As for us, think of us as justice-seekers."
Nawaki's vague answer left Gladius uncertain, knowing well that the entire sea recognized Arima as the Third Hokage.
"You're here on behalf of the Five Emperors to seize territory?"
Gladius probed, wanting to uncover their true identity.
"We are nothing like your shameless selves! …Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
Seeing Kushina's disguise as Hiruzen under attack, Nawaki rushed to help, unleashing a powerful S-rank Water Release.
Water Severing Wave is a high-powered jutsu that creates razor-sharp water blades capable of slicing through stone like tofu, a specialty of Tobirama.
"Explosion: Rock, Super Grand Performance!"
Gladius countered with his strongest attack.
"Water Release: Hard Whirlpool Blade!"
His water blade was destroyed by exploding rocks, so Tobirama immediately unleashed another S-rank Water Release.
"Full Body Explosion!"
Gladius's body inflated like a balloon, and when the water blades struck, his body detonated, firing millions of explosive filaments.
"Earth Release: Multi-Layer Earth Wall!"
Though many filaments were neutralized by the Hard Whirlpool Blade, some still hit Nawaki, forcing him to erect an Earth Release barrier.
For a time, neither could gain the upper hand.
