----------
Winner Island, coastline.
Dozens of pirate ships of various kinds tightly surrounded the coast. The grand formation fully demonstrated the power of the Flying Pirates' grand fleet.
The pirates of the Worst Generation were terrified.
In terms of sheer numbers, they were at most one-tenth of the enemy. The number of strong individuals was also far inferior.
It was an almost unwinnable situation.
However, their own captains were, one by one, tensing their muscles with excitement. Their burning gazes were something they'd never seen before.
Urouge clenched his fists. "This truly makes my blood boil!"
"Apapapa, same here!"
Apoo echoed excitedly.
Hawkins was taciturn, silently drawing his Straw Sword to show his attitude, his eyes glowing with an unprecedented fervent light.
They were challenging a Yonko!
The Heart Pirates gathered behind Law.
"Captain, they're here!"
"Don't panic, Bepo."
Trafalgar Law calmly reassured him.
The Flying Pirates' grand fleet was approaching. Many pirates had already leaped from the decks, running across the sea toward them.
"Room!"
Law raised his left hand, releasing an extra-large surgical space that enveloped the entire coastline, while at the same time, his right hand assumed a sword-swinging posture.
"What is this?"
"Hahaha, don't worry about it so much."
"Kill Trafalgar Law!"
"Damn it, Admiral wants him alive!"
The pirate fodder hadn't realized their situation yet, shouting as they charged toward Law. If they could capture Law, they'd receive generous rewards.
"Amputate!"
The next moment, a flash of a blade!
"Pfft!"
Dozens of pirates at the front were all cut in half at the waist, while the pirates behind them narrowly escaped due to the lower terrain.
"Waaahhh, I'm dead!"
"Eh, not dead?"
"My body... it's been severed!"
The bizarre situation sent shivers down the spines of the fodder pirates, but only the powerful officers knew what was happening.
"Just as the rumors say—what a strange ability!"
"As long as we don't get cut, it should be fine!"
"It's not that simple. Once we enter his surgical space, we become patients on an operating table, at his mercy."
"Isn't that invincible?!"
On the deck, the captains looked solemn.
Based on the information they knew, almost all the Supernovas of the Worst Generation were Devil Fruit users. When dealing with Devil Fruit users, the most important thing was information—and it was best to witness it firsthand.
Having the fodder test the enemy was clearly a very good choice.
"Boom!"
Smoke and dust billowed!
The Supernovas successively joined the battle, with Apoo being the most conspicuous. His subordinates even set up a temporary stage for him.
"Yo~ Yo yo~~"
Apoo, holding a microphone, danced wildly and began a rhythmic rap and dance. When all the nearby pirates were attracted, the death concert officially began.
In less than thirty seconds, the attacking pirates lay all over the ground, each with clear slash marks on their bodies.
He could kill enemies with just his voice.
"Slash?"
"Where did it come from?!"
"Damn it, it's the ability of the Roar of the Sea!"
On the other side, after having his heart pierced, Hawkins coldly raised his Straw Sword.
Chills ran down the pirates' backs.
"Is this guy immortal?"
They'd tried to attack Hawkins' vital points several times, but to no effect. He was like an immortal—even more bizarre than a Logia user.
Hawkins pulled back his Straw Sword, sweeping the straw blade horizontally before him. The gleaming blade reflected in his eyes.
He didn't need divination to know the outcome.
"Today, you all bear the mark of death!"
The straw blade wriggled and extended, instantly piercing through the bodies of more than a dozen pirates.
Compared to Law and the others, Apoo and Hawkins had stayed under the Beast Pirates after entering the New World. Their brilliance was overshadowed, and their abilities were naturally little known.
To figure out their abilities would require a huge price.
In the sky.
Shiki slowly descended, looking down at the battle on the coastline. The imagined scene of crushing the target didn't play out. Instead, his side suffered heavy losses.
"You're quite capable!"
Shiki praised loudly, fixing his gaze on Law like a predator on its prey.
"Shihahaha, I heard the power of the Ope Ope no Mi can grant eternal life. It truly makes me crave it beyond measure!"
His purpose in seeking out Law was to have Law perform the Immortality Operation on him!
Now he was strong and well-equipped, having reassembled a grand naval fleet, and possessed firepower capable of easily leveling an island. The only remaining limitation was this old and frail body!
As long as Law performed the Immortality Operation on him, he could return to his peak. At that time, whether it was a Yonko or an Admiral, all would become his prey.
He wanted to conquer the world!
A shadow enveloped Shiki.
Shiki looked back in confusion, seeing a giant rock descending from the sky. Its somewhat familiar shape made him freeze.
"Eh? Mama?!"
"It's a rock!"
"Get out of the way, Admiral!"
His subordinates anxiously warned him.
"Shambles!"
Law slid his finger down!
"Boom!"
The giant rock pressed down on Shiki, smashing him toward the ground.
"Chokkei!"
Golden light appeared. The giant rock split in two with a "clack," revealing Shiki directly beneath it.
"Shihahaha, as expected of the strongest rookie with the most momentum—truly extraordinary!"
Shiki laughed, his body twisting and shifting in the air. The leg-swords embedded in his legs constantly swung downward.
"Lion: Thousand Slice Valley!"
Streaks of golden slash waves poured down!
"Boom!"
The slash waves landed beside Law, easily tearing dozens of meters long cracks in the earth. The powerful force made Law involuntarily recoil.
Very strong!
As expected of a monster on par with Roger and Whitebeard. Even in his old age, he still possessed formidable power.
"Shambles!"
Law quickly teleported, dodging the incoming slash waves, looking for an opportunity to counterattack. But Shiki was very calm, maintaining a safe distance.
In that case.
"K. Room!"
Law placed his hand on the blade, attaching the Room space to the sword. This way, he could extend the sword by modifying the Room space.
Shiki was, after all, a Yonko. Trying to remotely sever his body was too difficult, so he needed a more direct attack method.
"Hmm? What is that?"
As Shiki wondered, a dozens-of-meters-long blade stabbed toward him. As a battle-hardened powerhouse, he immediately felt a fatal threat.
He couldn't be cut!
"Clang!"
His leg-swords kicked out with full force, colliding with Law's greatsword!
"Get down here!"
Law gripped Kikoku with both hands. Veins instantly bulged on the surface of his arms, and power surged forth. Extending the sword not only increased its attack range but also increased the power of the slash. The longer the distance, the higher the power amplification.
"What?!"
Shiki was caught off guard, violently pressed toward the ground by the dozens-of-meters-long blade, falling into the columnar mountain.
"Rumble!"
The colossal columnar mountain shattered and collapsed!
"Hoo~ Hoo~~"
Law gasped for air, his gaze fixed on the smoke and dust. As a Yonko, Shiki couldn't be defeated so easily.
The next moment, huge rocks flew out!
"Amputate!"
Law quickly swung his sword, using his ability to cut all the rocks into pieces.
"Shihahaha, truly powerful!"
Shiki laughed as he flew out of the smoke and dust, his right hand turning over toward the ground.
"Shishi Odoshi: Chimaki!"
"!!!"
The earth trembled. Countless clods of soil rolled up into the sky, forming gigantic, roaring lion heads that enveloped Law in their center with a mighty roar.
Law's pupils trembled.
The power Shiki displayed once again shocked him.
However, he'd witnessed a similar scene before. At that time, he'd just mastered his awakening and was being trained by a man.
That man's casual gestures could also cause such phenomena!
In fact, even more exaggerated!
