Lightning and light intertwined selflessly in the sky,
but the Marine Soldier, pirates, and civilians of Sabaody Archipelago suffered greatly!
All the pirates who were originally rushing towards the port turned back; daring to set sail now would be courting death!
The biting cold rain poured down, chilling people's hearts to the core.
Did they commit some heavenly sin in their previous lives? To encounter two Sea Yama!
Their bodies trembled... violently trembled.
Death, like a nightmare, clutched people's hearts, making them almost suffocate... On the other side,
Franky, carrying a collapsed Usopp, followed the main group towards 41GR, where the thousand sunny was located!
"Will Luffy be okay fighting an Admiral alone?" Nami's fair, jade-like face was etched with worry. Even though the battlefield was far away, the celestial phenomena caused by that terrifying power... one only needed to look up slightly to see it all!
"Is worrying going to help?" Zoro strode forward, his voice low, "We can't do anything at all!"
"Become stronger!" These two words were already deeply imprinted on Zoro; he absolutely refused to be this helpless.
Robin turned back, her smile as vibrant as blooming flowers, "Don't worry, Luffy... he's never disappointed anyone!"
Suddenly, Sanji, who was at the very front, stopped, his gaze sharp, staring ahead.
"Perhaps, we should now consider... whether we can escape!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone held their breath, extending their Observation Haki to its limit.
"He's here!" Zoro quickly drew his three swords, his body bent low, leg muscles bulging!
"Whoosh!"
A burly man appeared, wearing a grey hat with earflaps, a black jacket with a white target, holding a Bible, and with cold, stern eyes.
Seven Warlords of the Sea "Tyrant" Bartholomew Kuma!!!
Zoro and Sanji burst out simultaneously,
ominous ghost-like aura entwined, black Armament Haki spread, and sharp sword energy overflowed!
Several forces merged, forming a majestic fierce tiger, with the two swords serving as its fangs!
"Three Sword Style: Extreme Tiger Hunt!"
Blazing flames burned on his feet, black Armament Haki like fuel,
a destructive aura emanated from his feet, rushing towards the target!
"Diable Jambe: Extra Grade Minced Meat!"
Both of their attacks landed on Kuma at the same time,
"Boom!!"
"Rip!"
Kuma was blasted over a hundred meters away, and three sword marks appeared on his body, each drawing blood!
The two were surprised. Logically, Kuma should have been able to dodge their attacks, so why... Could it be another imposter? But... the aura wasn't right!
Looking at the wounds on his body, Kuma showed no expression.
He simply put the Bible he was holding into his pocket, gently removed his gloves, revealing the paw pads on his palms!
"If you were to travel, where would you like to go?" A calm, low voice emerged.
"Whoosh!"
Kuma's enormous figure appeared beside Nami, "Let's start with you!"
"Stop!" Sanji panicked, rushing towards Nami!
Too late, unfortunately!
Kuma's palm struck down in Nami's despairing gaze!
"Damn it! You bastard! Diable Jambe!"
Sanji's foot heavily kicked Kuma, who flew backward without any resistance!
"Sizzle!"
Faint currents emanated from Kuma's body, but he paid no attention.
In an instant, he reappeared in front of Robin, his palm striking upwards.
"Three Sword Style: 108 Pound Phoenix!"
Zoro's sword energy transformed into a river, rushing towards Kuma, tearing through the air!
Kuma still did not defend or dodge, but single-mindedly struck at Robin.
Robin instantly disappeared, and Kuma's body was pierced through by the long river of sword energy, sending him flying backward heavily!
The electric leakage from Kuma's body worsened, and blood flowed continuously from his wounds!
"Damn it, what is he doing? Is he trying to take us down even if it means dying?... Is he that loyal to the World Government?" Zoro's face was grim, ghost-like aura spreading around him!
"What do I care what he's doing?" The usually calm Sanji began to lose his composure, his eyes filled with rage and killing intent.
"I only know that this World Government dog... killed my comrade!!!"
Sanji charged furiously towards Kuma, flames burning fiercely around him, his right foot entwined with fire and Haki!
"Diable Jambe: Scorching Sun!"
Kuma stood still, watching the raging Sanji,
his hands came together, and a paw-shaped air bubble appeared!
"Pressure Cannon!"
His foot made contact with the air bubble,
powerful pressure and flames intertwined, the air crackled!
Sanji passed through the Pressure Cannon and kicked Kuma!
"Die, you bastard!"
"Whoosh!"
Sanji missed, a towering pillar of fire erupted, but it struck nothing.
Kuma instantly teleported in front of the four-person group,
"Wind Laser!"
"Hoof!"
"Humming: Arrow Tail Slash!"
Facing their attacks, Kuma offered no resistance, instead extending his paw!
"You truly deserve to die!" Zoro's ghost-like aura erupted, flying towards Kuma like an arrow, moving faster than an afterimage!
"Three Sword Style: Purgatory Onigiri!!"
The aura around Zoro was like a vengeful spirit claiming lives; even a figure like Kuma felt an immense sense of crisis!
But he still ignored everything, desperately waving his palm!
"Whoosh!"
Only Zoro and Sanji remained on the field,
Zoro's sword was like the Grim Reaper's scythe harvesting souls,
"Thud!"
Three intersecting sword marks,
the steel-like skin shattered;
the tough muscles beneath the skin also shattered;
large amounts of flesh and tissue turned into a bloody mist!
But there was no excitement in Zoro's eyes, which were like stagnant water, with anger, unwillingness, and killing intent deep within his pupils!
"It's over, everything is over!"
Sanji slowly shook his head, his steps unsteady, muttering, "At least, I'll take you down!"
"Ah--!"
Sanji desperately squeezed his life force; bones, blood, Haki... everything was turned into fuel, fuel to ignite the fire of hatred!
Sanji suddenly began to spin, round after round, orange flames rose, and the temperature soared uncontrollably!
But... it wasn't enough! Even though his body had reached its limit, even though the flames continuously burned his body,... he still didn't stop!
Hatred and anger gave Sanji the perseverance to surpass his limits,
Finally, the orange-red flames turned deep blue, the flames scorching the air, as if even space couldn't withstand such high temperatures!
"Demonic God Diable Jambe!!!"
Scalding flames surged, Sanji kicked out in anger!
Kuma's chest was covered in Armament Haki like a tide!
"Boom!"
In an instant, Kuma seemed to have been hit by a comet, his internal organs shifted,
but he still endured. In an instant, Kuma's palm struck towards Sanji,
"Whoosh!" Sanji disappeared!
Kuma could no longer hold back and flew backward heavily!
Hot, too hot!
His internal organs felt like they were being burned through!
Kuma slowly stood up, looking exceptionally disheveled!
"Only... you are left!" Kuma stared at Zoro expressionlessly!
Zoro, however, relaxed his body,
"You want to kill me? Fine! Anyway, I can't explain to the Captain, and there's no meaning in living!"
"However," Zoro's mouth curved into a cruel smile, "as the culprit, don't even think about living well!"
Zoro half-crouched, three swords held horizontally, an aura like a killing Shura emanating from him,
"Enduring all suffering without complaint — this is the Path of Shura!"
An invisible Shura phantom slowly unfolded behind him, nine sword lights swirling in the void,
various violent forces intertwined as Zoro charged towards Kuma, that dark purple light seemingly tearing the world apart!
"Nine Sword Style: Asura: Drawn Sword: Dead Man's Game!!"
"Rip!"
Zoro vanished from his spot,
Kuma's body exploded into a large amount of blood mist. He swayed, unable to stand steady.
"Finally, I made it!"
Kuma's voice was gentle yet fragile. He looked at the sky, "The rest, I leave to you!" He raised his hand and struck himself!
Above Sabaody Archipelago, the horizon was fiery red,
under the stunned gaze of everyone, streams of lava fell like meteors.
On the sea nearby, giant warships swallowed the ocean.
On top of a warship, a man with a cold expression stood on the deck, his entire right half transformed into scorching magma, exuding an aura like a volcanic eruption!
He wore a blood-red, sharp suit, black shiny military boots, and a wide cape behind him gently swayed with his steps.
"All forces, land on the island! Pirates, traffickers... all disappear, eradicate... the entire lawless zone!"
"Yes!"
The Marine Soldier' voices were clear and loud, their formation neat.
Exuding a truly iron-blooded aura!!!
