Although Lott had already provided the famous scene of blowing up the moon before, this time, giving a planet a middle part was no less impressive.
The camera switched back inside the Planet Pirate.
Boros's spaceship had already arrived at Marineford.
Or rather, Marineford no longer existed.
And Lott and Boros were standing on top of the spaceship.
To be precise, it was Lott and Boros's head.
"It was... a battle without regrets," Boros, facing upwards with only his head remaining, said slowly.
"Yeah, coming here was still worth it," Lott responded with a light laugh, his back to Boros.
"Heh... Stop lying... For you... this couldn't even be considered a fight..." Boros let out a self-mocking laugh.
Just as Lott was about to answer, the chain on the golden necklace around his neck made a faint cracking sound.
"Hmm?"
Lott glanced down slightly.
Confirming the chain only had a crack and wasn't about to break, he half-turned his head and smiled:
"No, it did put a little pressure on me."
"Hehehe..."
Boros's laughter involuntarily grew a bit louder.
Accompanied by a gentle breeze, Boros's remains were blown into the sea.
Perhaps they would become food for a Sea King soon.
"So cool!"
Ishigami Yu in the first-year classroom at Shuchi'in Academy had his eyes full of Lott's silhouette.
'How can a man be this cool?'
"This is... a real man," Kusunoki Yukimura, also in the first-year class, who looked every bit a young girl but wore a boys' uniform, showed an expression identical to Ishigami Yu's.
…
"Lott!"
A hatch on the corner of the spaceship's top opened automatically.
Miku and Hancock quickly ran up the steps.
Miku practically launched herself into Lott's arms.
"How did you two get here on this?" Lott asked curiously.
He had originally asked Kaido to bring them using his flame clouds.
"A rude woman said she was coming to find you and could give us a ride," Hancock explained.
'A rude woman?'
Lott raised an eyebrow slightly.
Before Lott could guess who it was, "Finally, I've waited for this moment! Fight me now, Lott! You are the most suitable one to end my life!"
A large white... no, Esdeath jumped out.
Lott blinked.
'Oh right, I forgot about you.'
"You wait a moment. There's still some entertainment I want to see," Lott wasn't in the mood to deal with Esdeath right now.
"No! You must end me now! The weak becoming food for the strong is the law!" Esdeath was like a weakened, female version of Boros.
"What an impudent woman! Lott, let me teach her a lesson!" Hancock stepped forward displeased.
"No need, Hancock. You go over there. There's a gift for you," Lott pointed towards the area where the World Nobles were, slightly to the right front.
Hancock's pink lips parted slightly, looking at Lott in disbelief.
"Although I don't know the specific reason, your fondness for me probably stems from me dealing with the Celestial Dragons, right? That means you have a grudge against them, correct?" Lott considered Hancock's self-esteem and added:
"I'll leave them for you to handle. Although a few of them have some skills, they won't dare fight back. Don't worry."
Tears welled up in Hancock's black pearl-like eyes. She quickly ran towards Lott, but was promptly blocked by Miku.
"Stay away from Lott, you snake woman!" Miku bit her lip lightly, glaring angrily at Hancock.
Though the huge height difference between them made the scene somewhat comical.
"Lott is my hero, and also my future marriage partner. I just wanted to hug him in thanks," Hancock retorted defiantly.
"You're lying!" Miku's face puffed up even more in anger.
'Lott was going to marry me, you're too late.'
"Hmph! I am more beautiful and stronger than you, and can bear Lott more excellent offspring. You should be the one..."
"Enough."
Lott finally spoke, his tone cold, cutting off Hancock's proud declaration.
Miku was already starting to shed a few small tears.
After all, among Lott's female companions, Miku was inherently the most lacking in self-confidence.
Hancock's words hit her with the effectiveness of an Ice-type move against a Flying/Bug-type… quadruple damage!
"Ah... Lott..." Hancock, who had been as proud as a peacock moments before, her expression changed dramatically, bowing her head in panic. "I-I was wrong, p-please forgive me!"
Esdeath also recovered from her fear.
Not just Hancock, even she had been frightened by the coldness in Lott's tone just now.
Watching through a screen and facing him directly were completely different leagues!
"Everyone! Over here!"
On the other side, Nami and Robin descended from Boros's spaceship, waving towards the approaching Moby Dick 2.
When they saw [Gear Fifth] Luffy, Nami and Robin were dumbfounded.
Robin looked [Gear Fifth] Luffy up and down several times before asking in a puzzled tone:
"Are... are you Luffy?"
"Of course! Have you two forgotten me already after such a short time? Hahahaha!" [Gear Fifth] Luffy couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
"Um... Luffy, sorry. Robin and I couldn't protect the Sunny. We left it in Wano, and it was caught in the shockwaves from Boros's fight... It sank into the sea along with Wano..." Nami said, full of guilt.
"Ah? The Sunny's gone? No problem, no problem! Hahaha! As long as you two are safe!" [Gear Fifth] Luffy's expression remained brilliantly cheerful.
Nami: "???"
Robin: "???"
The two women, who had been feeling guilty just a second ago, almost couldn't hold back their curses.
'Wh-What the hell? Are you laughing your ass off?!'
'The Sunny is gone and you're still laughing!?'
Nami turned to look at Zoro, Chopper, and the others.
Chopper shook his head desperately. "Ever since Luffy became like this, he's been laughing non-stop."
"Hahahaha!"
He laughed again.
Nami really couldn't take it this time.
She raised her hand, about to slap [Gear Fifth] Luffy.
But Robin quickly stopped her.
"Nami, calm down. The one laughing isn't Luffy," Robin said, pointing to the right.
Nami looked and saw Lott holding his stomach, laughing uncontrollably.
That's right. The reason Lott chose to take Boros's Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon head-on earlier was because he heard [Gear Fifth] Luffy's laughter.
He wanted to see what kind of antics this possessed guy would come up with.
And sure enough, he didn't disappoint Lott's expectations.
Right from the start, he provided this utterly hellish scene.
Upon learning his beloved ship, the Thousand Sunny, was destroyed, he actually laughed.
"Where's Sabo? He didn't fall into the sea too, did he?" Ignoring his crazed younger brother, Ace asked the two women seriously.
The reason he came here was to retrieve Sabo's body.
Hearing this question, Nami and Robin's expressions became even more awkward.
After hesitating for a long time, they pointed towards Boros's subordinates on the other side of the spaceship.
Specifically, they pointed at Groribas, one of the three top fighters.
Sabo, along with three Revolutionary Army commanders, were in his stomach.
At this moment, the Dark Matter Pirates were also in chaos.
Their captain was dead, leaving them unsure what to do now.
"Captain Boros is dead, what do we do? Go back home?"
"Should we pick a new captain from the three top officers?"
"Melzargard-sama seems more suitable?"
"I think Geryuganshoop-sama is better. The other two's brains are a bit..."
While the Dark Matter Pirates were arguing, Ace suddenly charged towards them, aiming primarily at Groribas.
"Fire Fist!"
Groribas turned his head to look.
At least in terms of attack range, it was bigger than Boros's energy blasts.
Too bad it was all show and no substance.
Groribas raised the large mouth on his right hand and effortlessly swallowed the Fire Fist.
"Luffy! Let's go together! Avenge Sabo!" Ace roared.
"Hahaha! Coming!" The straw-hatted boy chasing freedom let out his possessed laughter.
