The pillar-like sword light startled Kaido, who was circling in the air.
"This sword energy... could it be... Hawkeye?"
Kaido spat out several huge wind blades from his mouth, shattering the incoming sword light, then looked downward.
"Eh? It's not that brat Hawkeye. This is...?"
Below, on the chaotic icy battlefield, five extremely conspicuous children were effortlessly sweeping through the pirate forces.
Dazzling laser beams shot from their open palms, accurately targeting pirate after pirate.
With each laser strike, groups of pirates screamed as they were blasted into the air!
Their efficiency in clearing out pirates was countless times faster than the sluggish Pacifistas!
The sword energy that had just struck at Kaido came from a delicate-looking child with black wings on his back, flames behind his head, and hexagonal star pupils!
In his hands, he held a large sword identical in style to the black blade Yoru!
Noticing the child's wings and the flames behind his head, Kaido's pupils slightly contracted.
"Is this the Marines' new weapon, the SSG Seraphim? Back when King and I met at the Marine laboratory, I saw King tied up for research. Those Marine bastards actually fused the racial traits of the Lunaria tribe with the... genes of the Seven Warlords?"
As he pondered, a blood-soaked, robust mammoth on the icy ground below sent dozens of Marine soldiers flying, raised its huge trunk, and fiercely whipped it toward the five children standing in a row!
Little Crocodile slightly lifted his chin, snorted arrogantly, and with a leap, his small body jumped into the air.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
One by one, the children leaped into the air, their black wings spreading behind them, allowing them to hover mid-air.
"Hmph, Zoan ability users are all brainless fools!"
Little Moria sneered contemptuously, then extended his two small hands, palms opening to reveal two black holes.
The five children simultaneously raised their hands, aiming at the frenzied giant mammoth below!
"Hey, hey! Who are you calling a brainless fool? Boro Breath!"
An angry voice, roaring like thunder, suddenly came from above!
Then, a thick pillar of fire descended from the sky, heading straight for them!
"Scatter! It's Kaido of the Beasts!"
Little Doflamingo shouted.
Five small figures swiftly dodged the incoming giant pillar of fire!
Boom!
The pillar of fire crashed directly into the group of Marine soldiers pursuing the pirates, instantly blasting a large number of them away.
Several massive Pacifistas were also struck by the falling flames, malfunctioning on the spot.
Whoosh!
The hundred-meter-long Azure Dragon in the sky vanished. Little Moria only felt a chill behind him before an iron clamp-like hand seized his slender neck.
Kaido lifted his tiny body.
"wororororo, I see the shadow of that fool Moria in you, you little runt."
Beep beep beep.
Little Moria's expression remained cold as he directly raised his hands toward Kaido.
A dazzling laser rapidly focused.
Crack!
Kaido exerted force with his large hand, his five fingers crushing Little Moria's neck instantly, tossing his small body aside like trash.
Then he coldly raised his massive foot and stomped directly onto Little Moria's body!
Boom!
The entire ice surface trembled, countless cracks spreading beneath Kaido's foot.
When he lifted his foot, a mess of flesh mixed with machinery lay spread across the ice like a flattened pancake.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Blinding laser beams shot forth like lightning, engulfing Kaido's towering figure!
Boom boom boom!!
Massive explosions erupted one after another, the ice surface bursting into huge balls of light mixed with flames and shattered ice, roaring as they scattered!
"Thunder Bagua!!"
Amid the flames, a burly figure flashed past, his club "Hassaikai" swinging through the air.
Thud!
Little Hancock's head exploded instantly, blood and crackling electricity spraying from her neck!
Within the broken neck, the mechanical structure of the spine was visible.
The remaining three Seraphim displayed strikingly human-like expressions of terror, suddenly too afraid to attack Kaido!
Behind a shattered warship in the distance, Sentomaru—his giant axe broken, body covered in blood—carried the unconscious Drake over his shoulder, watching as the three Seraphim confronted Kaido.
"This is bad! Why is that monster here? Shouldn't he be fighting on the island? Damn it! We were already gaining the upper hand!"
Sentomaru gritted his teeth, abruptly pulling out a Den Den Mushi from his chest to contact all remaining Marine soldiers on the outer sea.
"All units, listen up!"
Sentomaru's chest heaved as he gasped for breath, retrieving a cylindrical object from his waist and opening it.
Carefully, he reached inside and pulled out its contents.
They were transparent glass test tubes.
Inside these glass test tubes were fiery red rock fragments.
These were extremely dangerous natural weapons—delivered to Marine Headquarters by Binz, a disciple of the late Zephyr!
Their name—Dyna Stone!
A natural ore said to rival ancient weapons.
Normally buried deep underground, they would react violently upon contact with air, causing massive explosions.
These sealed test tubes were the method used to collect and contain the ore.
If enough of these dangerous Dyna Stone were detonated simultaneously, they could instantly destroy an entire island!
Sentomaru stared at the mesmerizingly beautiful crimson test tubes in his hand, took another deep breath, and set Drake down behind the warship.
"Cough... Stop, Sentomaru!"
A blood-soaked hand tightly grabbed Sentomaru's ankle.
Drake gritted his teeth and glared over. "Are you insane? Detonating that thing will kill you!"
"Ah! There's no other choice. Too many have already died."
Sentomaru pointed at Kaido, who was unleashing his might, suppressing three Seraphim while sweeping through Marine soldiers.
"They're Marines too. They can die, so why can't I? Even if these explosive rocks can't kill Kaido, they'll at least cripple him and wipe out these subordinate pirate crews! This way, I'll have helped the old man resolve a major problem!"
As he spoke, Sentomaru looked at Drake, covered in blood and filth.
"You stay put here. If you survive the blast... remember to build me a grave. I hate being buried in those gloomy cemeteries!"
With that, Sentomaru kicked away Drake's hand and growled into the Den Den Mushi:
"Comrades! With me—detonate the explosive rocks!"
After speaking, Sentomaru resolutely strode forward, charging headlong toward Kaido's location!
Following Sentomaru's command, the remaining Marine soldiers on the outer ice field decisively pulled identical cylinders from their waists, abandoning the pursuing pirates, and uniformly rushed toward Kaido!
The corners of Drake's eyes split, streaming with crimson blood.
"Raaaaaagh!!"
Despite countless broken bones throughout his body, he suddenly roared, his form wildly expanding once more as he transformed into a massive Tyrannosaurus!
The Tyrannosaurus exerted force, shattering the ice beneath its feet, thundering forward with great strides, head lowered as it overtook the sprinting Sentomaru and charged straight at Kaido!
"Hahahaha, then let's die together! Sentomaru!"
