From a distant high tower, Rayleigh chuckled, holding a wine glass: "These young people today..."
Kizaru appeared in mid-air, stepping on points of light: "How terrifying~ Should I inform Headquarters?"
Kuma silently flipped through his Bible: "..."
The barrage exploded, with everyone starting to role-play:
[Luffy: You're surrounded by me!]
[Kid: Where's my mechanical arm?!]
[Law: Where's Room?! Where's my big Room?!]
[Kizaru: These young people nowadays really know how to have fun~]
The Supernovas' Grand Melee erupted with a roar on Sabaody Archipelago's Island 33!
The rules were simple, almost cruel: only the person left standing in the center of the arena would claim first place. As for second place? In the eyes of these arrogant Pirate Supernovas, it wasn't even worth mentioning!
"Gum-Gum — Ape King Gun!!"
Luffy's roar had not fully erupted when Kid's colossal mechanical arm, pieced together from countless scraps of metal, tore through the air, heading straight for him with a piercing metallic roar!
In the novel, they first met on Sabaody Archipelago and were evenly matched, but now—Luffy, having endured Kaido's spiked club and fallen countless times only to rise again, had been completely reborn!
"Boom—!!!"
Crimson lightning exploded around Luffy, his muscles in Gear Fourth Boundman form swelled like red-hot steel, and his fist, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, collided fiercely with Kid's massive mechanical fist!
A terrifying shockwave instantly erupted, the ground cracked inch by inch, and the entire island seemed to tremble under this single blow!
Kid's mechanical arm let out a groan of distress, bolts at its joints frantically burst forth, yet Luffy's fist continued to push forward inch by inch!
"Captain Kid, times have changed."
A cold voice suddenly came from the shadows, and Law's figure flashed like a ghost,
"ROOM • Shambles!"
A blue-white spherical force field instantly expanded, slicing the battlefield into countless fragments!
The three who had once fought side-by-side on Onigashima were now enacting the most ironic self-slaughter. Kid roared, activating his magnetism, and countless metal fragments transformed into a furious barrage in the electromagnetic field, however—
"Ryuo • Armament!"
Luffy's fist, imbued with advanced Armament Haki, actually bounced all the incoming metal projectiles away! Kid's electromagnetic cannon was like child's play before Ryuo Haki, and Luffy's figure had already charged towards him like a cannonball!
"Great Ape King Gun—!!!"
The colossal fist, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, smashed down like a meteor, completely pulverizing Kid's mechanical arm under the terrifying impact; gears, bearings, and steel fragments scattered like a rainstorm!
The once arrogant Red-Haired Captain finally knelt on one knee, blood spilling from his mouth, his eyes filled with unwillingness and shock.
"What the hell... You bastard...!" Kid gritted his teeth and growled, but his body could no longer support him in battle.
And not far away, Law's blade gleamed with cold light, and Bonney's wild laughter echoed across the battlefield—this peak melee among the Supernovas had only just entered its most brutal phase!
At the same time, the battle on the other side of the battlefield was equally intense and brutal.
Hawkins was looking down, flipping through his mysterious tarot cards, trying to predict the outcome of the coming battle.
However, before his divination was complete, Urouge's massive body had already charged forward like a giant elephant!
"Karma!"
Urouge laughed wildly, swinging his giant pencil, which was comparable to a mast; the sharp tip instantly pierced Hawkins's shoulder, and blood splattered onto the scattered cards.
"What a pity, Mr. Diviner," Urouge grinned, "Fate doesn't seem to be on your side!"
On the other side,
Drake had completely unleashed the power of his Ancient Zoan Dinosaur Fruit, transforming into a ferocious Allosaurus.
However, when he roared and charged at Bonney, the Big Eater merely curled her lips in disdain.
"Age, you poor thing!" She touched him with her hand, and Drake's strong dinosaur body visibly withered and shrunk, his hard scales becoming loose and wrinkled, and his sharp claws and teeth began to loosen and fall out.
"What... what is this...?" Drake watched his rapidly aging body in horror, even his voice becoming hoarse and weak.
And at the edge of the battlefield, Apoo was stealthily hiding behind a large boulder.
"Yo yo~ Let me show you the power of sound waves!" He suddenly leaped out, his hands transforming into instruments, and piercing sound waves swept like blades towards Killer, who was engaged in fierce combat.
However, a cold glint flashed in Killer's eyes beneath his mask, and his rapidly spinning scythe actually deflected all the sound waves!
"What?!" Before Apoo could react, his own sound wave attacks had all rebounded onto him, instantly tearing his skin and flesh, leaving him covered in blood.
"Serves you right."
Killer coldly threw out this remark, then turned and plunged into a new battle.
The battlefield descended into chaos, and the once formidable Supernovas fell one after another.
When the smoke and dust cleared, only three remained on the cracked earth: Straw Hat was panting, maintaining his Gear Fourth form; Law's spotted fur hat was stained with blood; and the Big Eater Bonney had temporarily boosted herself to peak condition by using her Devil Fruit ability in reverse.
"Trafalgar!" Luffy wiped his nosebleed and grinned, "In the end, it's still the three of us!"
Law's lips curved into a dangerous arc, and his Op-Op Fruit ability condensed into a high-frequency rotating death whirlwind in his palm.
Bonney, meanwhile, frantically gnawed on a piece of sea beast meat she pulled from her pocket, her muscles visibly expanding.
Just as Luffy took an offensive stance, his Gear Fourth muscles bulging again, and Conqueror's Haki wrapped around his fist like flames—Law suddenly sheathed his sword, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"Enough, Captain Straw Hat." Law's voice was exceptionally clear on the smoke-filled battlefield, "Let's end this battle here."
He casually raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, but a cunning glint sparkled in his eyes beneath his spotted fur hat.
Luffy instantly froze, forgetting to retract the Haki on his fist: "Huh?! Trafalgar, what do you mean?"
Seeing this, Bonney casually tossed the half-eaten beast leg from her mouth and wiped her greasy hands on her clothes: "Ha! Even the Op-Op Fruit user gives up?" She shrugged exaggeratedly, "Then I can't be bothered to fight either, I'm full anyway."
As she spoke, she let out a loud burp, showing no sign of defeat or dejection.
"Hey, hey! You guys are too sneaky!" Luffy stomped his foot indignantly, his rubber arms flailing wildly in the air, "We clearly agreed to decide the strongest!"
