New World, Chibu Island.
Not long after Sakaski fell freely, plummeting down.
All the pirates outside their houses on the island looked up in confusion, searching for the source of the sound.
Whoosh—
The sound of something flying, cutting through the sky.
It was so loud it made their ears ache, and the sound grew louder and louder, directly forcing Kaido, King, and others out of the palace. They rushed outside and spread their Observation Haki.
“Meteorite?”
After all, one of Kaido’s great adversaries was Fujitora, a sound they were too familiar with.
But after spreading their Observation Haki, they realized something was wrong. King’s forehead began to sweat profusely:
“Damn it!!”
Why is that guy here!!!
Kaido’s eyes widened as he looked at the sky, transforming into a blue dragon and charging upwards:
“Sakaski!!!!”
The giant dragon body was engulfed in flames, distorting the air. The flames converged towards its head, forming a fiery dragon head, which lunged at the falling Sakaski.
From afar, it looked like two meteorites about to collide…
Sensing Kaido charging, Sakaski, encased in magma, accelerated further.
The magma mass, like a meteorite, attached itself with dark Armament Haki, striking Kaido’s fiery dragon head. The distance between them grew closer…
Crack—
A thunderous explosion, like lightning from a clear sky, instantly reverberated through heaven and earth.
The pirates on the island felt their heads spin, followed by a gale of surging air from the collision, making the island precarious and the sea turbulent.
All the pirates who endured the dizziness looked up, their throats involuntarily clicking, their faces filled with terror.
Someone’s fearful voice shouted:
“Run!!!!”
Only then did everyone recover and scramble towards the edge of the island…
Because…
In the sky…
A dragon had fallen…
--------------
Above Chibu Island.
Thousands of meters high.
Following the fierce impact.
The two narrowly missed each other.
Kaido’s dragon head was shattered, scales scattering everywhere. His head spun, and he lost control of his body, tumbling downwards.
The magma mass surrounding Sakaski, under the impact, was also deflected from its trajectory towards the island’s center, falling towards a point to the side of the center.
The distance of thousands of meters passed in an instant.
Sakaski could now clearly sense all the pirates on the island. Kaido had also regained control of his body and was charging at him.
Seeing the giant dragon head charging, the surface of the magma meteorite suddenly turned crimson, emitting intense heat…
Extremely compressed energy gathered within the magma meteorite. Kaido, charging forward, felt his pupils contract, a sense of crisis stimulating his nerves. It felt as if he would explode upon impact…
After a moment of hesitation, the meteorite accelerated its descent. At this moment, Kaido realized what Sakaski was about to do and roared downwards:
“Everyone! Evacuate the island!!!”
Roar—
Kaido, in his blue dragon form, roared in anger and also accelerated, pursuing the magma meteorite, but it was already too late…
As if it were the end of the world, the meteorite landed slightly off the island’s direct center…
BOOM—!!!!!
The island trembled violently, cracking apart. Countless amounts of seawater poured into the fissures, and the pirates caught within were annihilated. But this was not the end.
It was a beginning…
The blue dragon above was still rushing anxiously.
Within the massive crater, magma flowed slowly, and Sakaski’s indifferent voice sounded:
“Magma Burst Ball…”
BOOM—!!
Endless magma erupted with shockwaves, instantly engulfing the entire island. This island, housing nearly ten thousand people from Kaido’s side, was annihilated by the monstrous magma waves…
Only a few individuals with strong enough strength struggled in the magma…
--------------
Chibu Island.
Everything on the island had been destroyed.
Buildings, trees, mountains, all of it was gone…
Under the powerful explosive shock of Sakaski, everything was leveled. All that could be seen was flowing magma…
The pirates with strong Armament Haki could withstand some of the impact and managed to struggle to their feet…
Who, one of the Flying Six.
Already injured from a recent battle, he hadn’t even had time to recover before experiencing this impact.
Struggling to rise from the magma, he…
“Pfft—”
The impact had injured his internal organs, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Sizzle—
The blood sprayed onto the magma, instantly drying and steaming.
The magma beside him quickly shifted, forming a human shape.
The word “death” suddenly appeared in Who’s mind…
His legs bent, and just as he was about to sprint and escape, he was grabbed by the head by Sakaski, who had already solidified his form.
Sakaski held his head and brought it close, saying indifferently:
“Quite feisty, aren’t you, brat.”
“It’s just one brother dead, but you’ve destroyed several Marine warships…”
“Hm?”
Sakaski tightened his grip on Who’s head.
A splitting headache shot through Who’s brain. Even with Armament Haki, it couldn’t resist Sakaski’s immense strength in the slightest.
Who, who had always used his head to ram others, experienced what it was like for someone else for the first time, that feeling of his head about to explode…
This was the first, and it would be the last time…
Screech—
A sound of breaking air came from behind. Kaido, holding the Rakuyō with both hands, lightning flashing, swung it towards Sakaski’s head.
Sakaski slightly turned his head, glancing sideways, and directly pushed Who behind him.
Kaido’s pupils contracted, but it was too late.
Sakaski, with a cold sneer, stomped his foot, and using Who’s head, propelled him upwards…
CRUNCH—
Between the attacks of two of the world’s top powerhouses, Who’s head exploded like a watermelon.
It turned into a mist of blood…
Kaido’s dragon eyes glared, showing no hesitation or regret, as it was already irreversible. He increased the output of his power and Haki…
BOOM!!!!
The Rakuyō directly struck Sakaski’s left fist. After a moment of stalemate, Sakaski was sent flying backward…
And the direction he was sent flying…
Under deliberate adjustment, it was towards another surviving pirate.
On the other side.
Queen, the leader of the Flying Six, also managed to get up. As he hadn’t fought today and possessed great strength, he was among the first to regain consciousness…
Witnessing his fellow Flying Six member, Who, have his head explode, his heart trembled…
Before he could even consider fighting or fleeing, he saw Admiral Sakaski being sent flying backward by Lord Kaido…
An opportunity!!!!
Queen’s heart pounded violently.
That figure flying backward…
Wasn’t it an opportunity for him to directly become an All-Star…
