One Piece World – Skypiea
Xiaoqi Su reappeared beside Nami without a word, his expression grim as he immediately blasted off into the sky.
Luffy, ever oblivious, scratched his head. "Huh? Why'd Xiaoqi show up again? And why's he lookin' so serious?"
Robin, more observant, noticed Nami's troubled expression. "Did something happen?"
Nami nodded solemnly. "I just found out—Tokisaki Kurumi and Jōshima Akeno are fighting. And it's… gotten out of hand."
Zoro frowned. "So those two finally went at it, huh? This is bad."
Sanji clenched his teeth. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Nami shook her head. "It's too late. They're on the other side of the island."
Kaya squeezed Nami's hand reassuringly. "Xiaoqi will handle it. He won't let anything happen."
Tashigi nodded. "Right. Panicking won't help. Let's just head in their direction."
Luffy pumped his fist. "Alright! Full speed toward Xiaoqi!"
As the crew moved, Nami lingered behind, whispering to Robin. "Ever since I heard the news, I've had this awful feeling… like something terrible is about to happen."
Robin placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "All we can do now is trust him."
Xiaoqi flew at breakneck speed, fury burning in his chest. He had specifically told Zhuqing, Vivi, and Linglong to keep an eye on Kurumi and Akeno—yet they'd let things spiral out of control.
Now, the two women were locked in a death match, and even Zhuqing's group couldn't intervene without getting caught in the crossfire.
"Dammit… why do I feel so uneasy?"
His instincts screamed danger. Without hesitation, he activated 10x Kaioken, accelerating even faster.
Battlefield
Zhuqing, Vivi, and Linglong watched helplessly as Kurumi and Akeno—both battered and bloody—continued their brutal clash.
They had tried to stop them earlier, only for the fight to escalate into a three-way brawl. The moment anyone interfered, Kurumi and Akeno would both turn on them before resuming their duel.
"Xiaoqi still isn't here?!" Linglong cried. "At this rate, one of them is gonna die!"
Vivi bit her lip. "Zhuqing, do we have the Senzu Beans ready?"
Zhuqing nodded, holding up a split bean. "As long as they're alive, this'll save them."
Suddenly, the sky darkened. Thunder rumbled ominously.
Linglong's face paled. "Oh no—Enel's found us!"
She shouted up at the fighters, "Kurumi! Akeno! Stop fighting! Enel's here!"
But the two women ignored her, locked in their deadly dance.
BOOM!
Five bolts of lightning streaked down—one aimed at each of them.
And just as the lightning struck—
Xiaoqi arrived.
"Zhuqing… Vivi… Linglong… Kurumi… Akeno…"
His fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. Rage—pure, unfiltered rage—boiled inside him.
When the smoke cleared, Linglong spotted him in the sky and yelled, "Xiaoqi! We're okay!"
But Xiaoqi's eyes were locked on Kurumi. In an instant, he appeared beside her, cradling her broken body.
"Kurumi…"
She opened her eyes weakly, forcing a pained smile. "Darling… I'm sorry… I didn't listen…"
His mind flashed back to her earlier question:
"Darling… if I died, would you be sad?"
"Zhuqing—take her."
He handed Kurumi to Zhuqing before vanishing again—this time appearing before Akeno.
She wiped blood from her lips, her smile just as broken. "Admin… I'm sorry…"
Gently, he lifted her and carried her to safety.
"Linglong—take care of Akeno."
As Zhuqing and Linglong fed the two women their halves of the Senzu Bean, thunder roared once more.
"All of you—move back. Linglong, protect the others."
"But—"
"DO IT."
The five women retreated ten meters, watching as Xiaoqi's body trembled—not with fear, but with power.
A single thought crossed all their minds:
He's going Super Saiyan.
Lightning crackled around him, striking the ground but never touching him. The earth itself quaked, rocks levitating before disintegrating under the sheer pressure of his aura.
Then—
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"
His hair stood on end, flickering between black and gold before settling into a radiant blonde. His eyes turned emerald green.
A golden inferno erupted around him.
Super Saiyan Xiaoqi had awakened.
Zhuqing, Vivi, and Linglong stared in awe.
"He's… so cool…"
But Kurumi was crying.
Linglong blinked. "Kurumi? Why are you crying? This is awesome!"
Kurumi wiped her tears, smirking. "I'm just… touched. Darling turned Super Saiyan for me. I'm gonna brag about this in the chat forever!"
She giggled. "Maybe I should 'thank' him tonight~"
Akeno scoffed. "Oh please. He might've done it for me. Did you see how gently he held me?"
Kurumi's eye twitched. "You wanna die again, bitch?!"
Akeno smirked. "You couldn't beat me earlier. What makes you think—"
"ENOUGH."
Both women froze as Xiaoqi's cold voice cut through the air.
Kurumi gulped. "D-Darling… I'll be good from now on! No more fighting!"
Akeno nodded frantically. "Same here!"
Linglong grinned nervously. "Xiaoqi, you look so hot like this! I love it!"
Xiaoqi's glare didn't waver. "We'll deal with all of you after I handle Enel."
Then—he vanished.
High Above
Enel floated smugly, his golden staff resting on his shoulder. "Mortal, I'm curious how you dodged my lightning. But it doesn't matter now."
He raised a hand, electricity crackling. "Since I'm here, you'll all—"
THUD.
Xiaoqi's fist buried itself in Enel's gut before he could finish.
"You talk too much."
What followed was not a fight.
It was a massacre.
Enel's lightning did nothing. His speed was worthless. Every punch Xiaoqi threw shattered bones. Every kick sent him flying like a ragdoll.
Linglong winced as she watched. "I knew Super Saiyans were aggressive, but… damn."
Vivi bit her lip. "D-Do you think he'll be this mad at us?"
Zhuqing sighed. "We're his wives. He won't go that hard on us… probably."
Her gaze shifted to Kurumi and Akeno. "But those two…"
Kurumi paled. "Z-Zhuqing! We're sisters, right? You'll help me, won't you?!"
Zhuqing crossed her arms. "You attacked us when we tried to stop you. You're on your own."
Kurumi's eyes darted around before she whispered, "What if… we blame everything on Akeno?"
Akeno scoffed. "Nice try. I trust Admin to punish us fairly."
BOOOOOOM!
A final explosion lit up the sky—and Enel was gone.
Linglong sighed. "Poor guy. Came all this way just to get turned into paste."
Vivi fidgeted. "Now… it's our turn."
Zhuqing took a deep breath. "Just… apologize sincerely. He'll go easy on us."
The five women braced themselves—
But before they could speak…
Xiaoqi disappeared again.
