Worororo...
High above in the sky, blood gushed like a waterfall from the wound on the Azure Dragon's single horn, yet from that massive dragon mouth came a sick laugh once more.
Wororororororo—!!!
The laughter was manic, filled with a long-lost thrill and delight that resonated from the depths of his soul!
Pain! It was exhilarating!
Ever since witnessing those god-like battles at God Valley all those years ago, how many years had it been since he truly felt this genuine sense of impending death?!
Kaido's massive draconic body rolled wildly through the clouds, his golden slit pupils locked onto the Admiral below who was toying with the dragon horn, his eyes burning with the fervor of a seeker.
No objections! Of course, I have no objections! If 100 million Beri isn't enough, I'll even pay you with my own life!
Kaido's roar didn't sound like a threat, but rather like extreme excitement that made his very soul tremble.
Come on, Kane! Don't stop!
Right here, right now, give me the most magnificent end of my life!!!
Amidst the wild roar, the Azure Dragon opened his massive maw, and a Bolo Breath with twice the heat of the previous one, mixed with black and red Haki lightning, compressed rapidly deep within his throat!
For this strike, he didn't even hesitate to overdraw his life force!
However, at the very moment Kaido prepared to go down in a blaze of glory, the Three Disasters on the ground finally snapped.
He's gone mad! Boss really wants to die at that guy's hands!
Queen's usually comical, chubby face was now filled with nothing but sheer terror, as if facing a natural predator.
He lunged out from behind the boulder cover, his flabby body making teeth-gritting clack-clack sounds as his mechanical gears whirred.
You can die in battle if you want, but don't drag me down with you!
Rumble!
The thick, long neck of the Brachiosaurus burst forth, mechanical prosthetics fusing instantly with the flesh of the ancient creature, and a semi-modified behemoth dozens of meters tall took shape with a boom!
At the same moment.
King dove down from high altitude, the flames on his back flickering wildly in the gale.
The moment he landed on the ground, the earth cracked inch by inch from the heat of his flames.
As a survivor of the Lunarian race, his instincts were screaming a warning—the man before him possessed power that transcended the logic of this sea.
Boss Kaido, although you hate others interfering in your battles, today... we have to make an exception.
King's eyes were fixed on Kane, his breathing becoming abnormally heavy.
Jack! What are you waiting for? Playing dead?
Queen's roar echoed through the ruins.
Boom—
Jack's eyes were already bloodshot as his massive Mammoth human-beast form rose from the ground.
His two huge tusks, like siege hammers, charged from another direction, his footsteps shaking the earth!
The three top officers of the Beasts Pirates, the Three Disasters, had completely abandoned the idea of standing by at this moment.
They knew their Captain's temper well; he hated it when others interfered in his duels.
But now, if they didn't act, the next second wouldn't be a matter of interference; it would be collecting their Captain's corpse!
The combined sea, land, and air kill formation instantly sealed off all of Kane's retreat paths.
Facing this world-destroying siege, Kane didn't even turn his head.
He simply drove that massive dragon horn into the ground.
Then, he sighed with extreme regret.
It seems you have no intention of paying the fine obediently.
Kane stood with one hand in his pocket, tilting his head slightly to look at the three colossal monsters of various forms in the sky and on the ground, a sneer curling his lips.
Violent resistance to the law, attempted murder of an active Admiral.
According to the World Government's sentencing standards... the crime is compounded.
Your fine has doubled; it is now 500,000,000,000 Beri.
The moment his voice fell, his pupils underwent a qualitative change.
In his pitch-black pupils, blood-red suddenly exploded, and three tomoe spun rapidly, eventually condensing into that mysterious and complex hexagram pattern.
Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Activate!
That... what kind of eyes are those?
King, who was diving at high speed, felt his mind go blank the moment he made contact with those eyes.
A fear stemming from the deepest part of his soul made his proud combat instincts scream a frantic warning.
Before he could react.
Pale blue flames ignited on Kane's body.
That was not fire.
It was an energy body of absolute purity!
This is...
High in the sky, Kaido, who was preparing to unleash his Bolo Breath, had his dragon eyes widen, and the attack he had been brewing was stuck in his throat.
What was he seeing?
On the surface of that Marine's body, a skeletal frame composed of blue energy first appeared.
Immediately after, meridians and flesh climbed onto it at a speed visible to the eye!
Finally, thick and magnificent samurai armor covered it piece by piece.
Boom—!!!
In just a few seconds.
A purple giant, hundreds of meters tall, covered in the pitch-black luster of Armament Haki and wielding dual blades, rose from the center of Onigashima!
At the forehead of that giant, Kane stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down coldly at everyone below.
Huge!
Too huge!
So huge it exceeded the limits of cognition in this sea!
The Three Disasters, who had just finished transforming and were charging aggressively, looked like three underdeveloped toddlers in front of this pitch-black demon god.
Queen's long Brachiosaurus neck froze in mid-air, and the cigar in his mouth dropped to the ground with a clatter.
Jack's Mammoth body braked urgently, his huge tusks plowing two deep trenches into the ground.
And King, who had been descending from the sky, forcibly halted his momentum, hovering in mid-air like a terrified bat, his expression frozen beneath his mask.
This... what is this thing?!
Devil Fruit ability? Unheard of!
Racial talent? Never seen before!
And the Azure Dragon highest in the sky felt unprecedented insignificance.
His proud, hundreds-of-meters-long draconic body, in front of this heaven-and-earth-piercing pitch-black demon god, was truly...
Like a comical loach.
Are you the only ones... who can transform?
Kane stood with his arms crossed, silently standing in the floating diamond-shaped space on the forehead of the Susanoo, his voice resonating through the energy and turning into rolling thunder that spread across all of Wano Country.
The Complete Body Susanoo slowly extended its right hand.
Clang—!
Two huge long blades, condensed from high-density energy and Haki, were instantly unsheathed!
The mere gale force created by drawing the blades instantly caused a 100 meter high tsunami in the inner sea surrounding Onigashima!
Since you won't pay, I'll have to resort to violent collection.
Kane lowered his eyelids slightly, like a god judging the world.
One slash.
Those who can survive, I will allow them to sign an IOU and pay it off slowly.
His body followed his thoughts.
The Susanoo demon god raised the long blade capable of splitting the sky, without any flashy techniques, and delivered an extremely simple vertical slash at the indestructible skull fortress below.
Swoosh—!!!
A terrifying pale blue slash flew from the blade, piercing through heaven and earth!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Space was severed by this slash.
The next second.
Rumble—!!!
Centered on Kane, this Onigashima that Kaido regarded as an iron fortress was cleanly...
Split in two!!!
A bottomless submarine rift, tens of thousands of meters long, spanned the center of the island!
The faults on both sides were as smooth as mirrors.
The violent seawater formed a massive waterfall, pouring frantically into the bottomless abyss!
Countless Beasts Pirates grunts who were still unconscious, along with the ruins of half the island, screamed as they fell into the abyss.
One slash.
Parted the sea.
Severed the island!
The heavens and earth changed color!
...
...
High in the sky, Kaido's massive draconic body swayed precariously in the aftermath of this earth-shattering blow.
On the ground, the Three Disasters stood dumbfounded at the edge of the rift, looking at the bottomless black abyss beneath their feet, their souls trembling.
[Ding! Detected that the Host has demonstrated power across systems, extreme violent law enforcement, causing permanent changes to the geographical structure of Wano Country.]
[Disciplinary Violation +300,000!]
Listening to the beautiful system prompt in his mind, Kane slowly dispelled the Susanoo.
He landed lightly in front of Queen and Jack, his leather shoes making crisp tap-tap sounds on the gravel.
Kane unhurriedly took out another cigar from his breast pocket, lit it, and exhaled a puff of thick smoke.
Through the gray smoke, he looked at the three major calamities, who were limp and almost kneeling on the ground, and revealed an extremely friendly smile.
So now, regarding the 500,000,000,000 fine.
Everyone, does anyone else have any objections?
