The yellow sand shrouding Onigashima was gradually blown away by the wind, revealing the scene beneath it.
The entire surface of the island looked as if it had been ravaged by a deep tiller—all the soil on the island had been completely turned over once.
Inside the island, almost everyone had been buried under dirt or the ruins of collapsed buildings, and were now struggling to crawl out.
Boom—
With a loud crash followed by a series of noises, Drought Jack pushed away the rocks and wooden debris pressing down on him. He scanned his surroundings and, seeing no enemy, lifted his head toward the sky—where he spotted King the Wildfire getting beaten.
Jack had great respect for King.
Seeing his big brother being pummeled, he immediately wanted to go help.
But he couldn't fly, so he could only stand on the ground anxiously.
Before long, a flashy, gaudily colored flying carpet drifted into Jack's field of vision.
Though he couldn't see it clearly in one glance, he could see Sakazuki sitting at the edge of the carpet.
Enemies meeting always sparks fury.
Almost without thinking, driven by anger, Jack launched an attack. He swept up a large rock at his feet, gripped it tightly, then thrust his arm back. Muscles bulged in thick knots, power roiling beneath his skin, blue veins crawling over his arm like writhing dragons.
Using Observation Haki to read the carpet's trajectory, a streak of red suddenly flashed through Jack's eyes. At the same moment, he swung his thick arm forward, wind whistling past his ears.
Whoosh——
Terrifying brute strength erupted. The rock spun violently as it tore across the sky, the friction with the air producing a shrill scream.
It was fast—but Observation Haki wasn't just for show.
Having infiltrated enemy territory, there was no way Sakazuki wouldn't be using Observation Haki to scan everything around him.
Thus, even before the rock was thrown, Sakazuki had already sensed it.
He smashed the rock with a single punch just as it reached him. Shards burst outward as Sakazuki cast a sharp gaze toward Drought Jack. Jack locked onto him as well. Their lines of sight collided, sparking fury.
"I'm gonna butcher him!"
The damage wasn't high,but the insult was enormous.
He—Sakazuki—A Marine Admiral—if he got his head cracked open by a brick, he'd become a global laughingstock for years.
So Sakazuki was furious.And the consequences were severe.
"Leave this one to me."
Might Guy stepped in front of Sakazuki, his eyes burning as he stared at Jack.
Back on Whole Cake Island, Might Guy hadn't really fought.
Partly because they had enough manpower, partly because he hadn't encountered anyone strong in taijutsu.
But now—Jack's bulging muscles, the way he threw that rock—everything screamed close-combat specialist.
Might Guy was itching to go.
"No, I'm going to—"
Burning with rage, Sakazuki refused instinctively.But Might Guy didn't follow the rules—before Sakazuki could finish speaking, he leapt off the carpet first.
"You… I…"
Sakazuki froze for a few seconds, stunned by Guy's sudden move. By the time he regained his senses, the flying carpet had already drifted far away.
"Might Guy of Konoha—please give me your guidance."
Guy stood straight with perfect posture, turning his side toward Jack. His left hand was folded against his back, while the fingers of his right hand aligned and pointed at Jack, thumb curled inward.
"ROAR——!"
With a furious bellow, Jack transformed into a mammoth, his limbs digging into the ground as he charged toward Guy with the momentum of a heavy tank.
Might Guy: o_O
This is not the intense, thrilling hand-to-hand combat I was hoping for…
Crack!Shattered!
"I'm not interested in playing with an animal for too long. I'll defeat you quickly…"
Facing the massive mammoth barreling toward him, Might Guy sank into a forward stance, fists drawn to his waist. His face tightened as he growled—
"Seventh Gate of Shock—OPEN!"
Chakra surged like a breached floodgate, roaring violently through his body. With a resounding boom, it tore past his physical restraints. Waves of force blasted outward, rings of sand spreading in expanding circles.
His skin reddened rapidly. Sweat evaporated instantly from the sudden rise in temperature, forming a pale blue aura wrapped around his entire body, like flickering flame.
His now fully white eyes locked onto the charging mammoth. Guy kicked off the ground with explosive force.
"Leaf…"
The moment the word fell, Guy's silhouette vanished, a three-to-four-meter fan-shaped plume of sand bursting upward behind him.
"…Rising Break Rock!!!"
When he reappeared, he was already before the mammoth. With a low growl squeezed from deep in his throat, Guy spun mid-air and drove his elbow into the mammoth's nasal ridge.
DONG——
A loud drum-like boom echoed across the battlefield. Jack's elephant face twisted, and his massive body was ripped sideways by the immense force, spiraling through the air.
At the moment of impact, pain stung Guy's elbow—but vanished an instant later.
High-speed regeneration—the ability to heal non-fatal injuries in an extremely short time.As long as he wasn't one-shot killed, he could recover completely within moments.
"Spirit Gear—Azure Claws!"
Ferocious blue gauntlets and greaves snapped into place over Guy's arms and legs.
"Shadow Leaf Dance!"
The perfectly fitted Spirit Gear created no hindrance whatsoever.
Guy moved ahead of Jack with incredible speed, kicking the airborne mammoth to send him flying even higher.
Normally, the next move should have followed into the Primary Lotus—but Guy didn't do that.
One of Spirit Gear: Azure Claws' abilities—Air Step.
Walking in the air as if it were solid ground.
Even in empty space, Guy could find leverage.
Locked in continuous high-speed movement, his body became impossible to track with the naked eye—the only signs of his motion were the sharp tearing noises of air being ripped apart…
And Jack, swaying left and right, unable to land due to the relentless barrage of strikes.
There was no denying Jack's insane durability and regeneration.If it were anyone else, being beaten like this by Guy would have already sent them to the underworld.
But even for someone as tough as Jack, facing endless, nonstop attacks was useless.Defeat was only a matter of time—the only question was how long he could last.
In the air, the battle between Borsalino and King was deadlocked.
Though Borsalino moved extremely fast, his movements were always in straight lines—meaning King could dodge his attacks.
Even if a few couldn't be dodged, it didn't matter.One of the defining traits of Zoan users was extremely high recovery and physical toughness.
With such a powerful body, King could take those blows head-on without sustaining serious injuries.
Their battle would not end any time soon.
On the ground, in the center of the island—
Sengoku, Garp, Sakazuki, and Kuzan each headed in one direction, each responsible for a quarter of the area.
As Sengoku, Garp, and Kuzan began walking toward their assigned sections, Sakazuki punched toward the sky.
"Meteor Volcano!!!"
