460. Great Summoning no Justu: Sakazuki

Check out my new fanfic One Piece: Conquering Wanokuni at Start

------

Over the broken Onigashima.

The battle showed no signs of stopping. Thunder rolled in the sky, and heavy rain poured down from the gloomy heavens. Two figures clashed fiercely, the sound of their weapons shaking the world. With each flash of lightning, it was as if thousands of troops were fighting, a sense of heroism permeating the air.

"The battle...isn't over yet?"

One of the pirates blinked his dry eyes and asked a few of his companions with a pale face and red eyes.

"No, I can't see the specifics clearly, but...Boss Kaido's situation doesn't look good."

"How many days has it been?"

"Three days..."

From the beginning of the battle until now, they had been living in fear. They didn't dare close their eyes for a second, afraid that if they didn't pay attention, they'd be trapped here forever.

After all, surviving among so many pirates was a matter of incredible luck.

"Did you see the minced meat?"

One of the pirates pointed at the scaly and armored corpse fragments floating on the sea not far away, exuding a stench.

"That's Kaido's meat."

"Since this morning, pieces of meat have been falling. Although we're far away and can't see the fight clearly, the noise of the battle isn't as loud as it was two days ago."

The pirate looked solemn and began to look for a way to leave Onigashima.

Onigashima had originally been just a small island next to Wanokuni and had nothing to do with Wanokuni itself. With the impact of successive battles, Onigashima was now drifting further from the coast of Wanokuni. Its size had reduced to only a third of its original size.

"Then what should we do?"

The pirate looked distressed and wanted to suggest running away but didn't dare to voice it.

In the Beasts Pirates, although Kaido was indulgent towards his subordinates, this was only true for the higher-ups. For low-ranking members like them, if they were caught escaping, death would be their only fate.

"Of course, we should take the opportunity to escape. Anyway, Lord King can't protect himself now."

The pirate pointed to King at the center of the island.

King, who had originally been buried in the soil, was gone, replaced by a green tortoise. Grid patterns were neatly and orderly engraved on its back, and dark mung bean-sized eyes stared at them. Its mouth opened and closed without making a sound.

They realized that Lord King had truly turned into a turtle?!

Above.

"The secret of Ittoryu: One snap of the finger contains twenty moments; One moment contains twenty thoughts; One thought contains ninety instants; One instant contains nine million births and deaths!"

"Senkiri Issen (Thousand cuts in one flash)!!!"

Atlas and Kaido passed each other, and thousands of tiny slashes traveled across their bodies.

In an instant—

Slash!!!

Uniform gaps suddenly appeared on Kaido's body, beads of blood emerging, and granulations continuously extracted and mended.

At this time, Kaido looked very battered.

A large piece of flesh was missing from his waist and abdomen, and his body was covered with dense burns and knife wounds. Several blood holes on his arms were still bleeding.

Even though Kaido was an awakened mythical Zoan type, his physical fitness and recovery abilities greatly enhanced, the sheer number of wounds made it difficult for him to recover.

Especially the missing piece of flesh from his waist and abdomen, even though his internal organs weren't injured, it still took time to heal.

Moreover, this wound would affect his performance to a certain extent.

The lack of exertion and the consumption of a large amount of body energy for recovery were fatal weaknesses.

"Huff...huff..."

Kaido gasped, the hand holding the mace trembling. If you looked closely, you could see traces of blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and between the barbs of the Hassaikai.

"That's right, bastard Marine, Worororo!!" Kaido didn't seem to care about what was happening next and even let out a proud and hearty laugh.

"Is that all you've got, Kaido?" Atlas' blade drooped, sweat appeared on his forehead, the pouring rain sizzling as it hit his body, enveloping him in a large white mist.

—Like a demon, like a god, like an abyss or a prison!

"Worororo! You're strong, Atlas, but do you know?" Kaido suddenly discarded the Hassaikai in his hand, and his body quickly lengthened. A huge azure dragon hovered in the sky, hot breath spewing from his mouth.

"This country's hero...was burned alive twenty years ago!!!"

Atlas naturally knew who he was talking about. Kozuki Oden, that idiot-like guy, but...

He looked at Kaido contemptuously, "Do you think I'm here to save this country? Save the world?"

"No! I just feel uncomfortable seeing this world. I just...want to make this world more pleasing to the eye! According to my will!"

Is he righteous? Maybe, maybe not! At least compared to pirates and Celestial Dragons, he undeniably represents justice.

Hot breath surged from Kaido's mouth and continued to wrap around his body. The scorching heat made the air a little hot, and the originally dark sky turned a little blood-red.

In an instant—

"Kaen Daiko: (Fire Dragon Great Torch)!!!"

A huge fire dragon replaced Kaido. The dragon's body, which was dozens of times larger than before, swayed in the air, and its head was wrapped with Conqueror's unique black lightning. It rushed towards Atlas!

"Is this your final move..."

Atlas looked at Kaido blankly and laughed.

The battle...maybe should have ended long ago!

Below—

"Wororo! Why did Onigashima suddenly move?"

Under the horrified eyes of the pirates, fragments of Onigashima broke away from the sea and hung in the air, as if they were being kneaded and deformed by a pair of invisible hands of God.

In an instant, vivid figures of Akainu appeared in front of them.

"Are you kidding me? This is a sculpture?!"

"We're obviously still at war with Boss Kaido, why do we still have time to do such irrelevant things?!"

Whoosh!!!

There was a sound of breaking through the sky, and the 'Akainu' figures flew to Atlas's side like satellite missiles one after another.

"Playing with fire? You have to ask Sakazuki to accompany you!"

Atlas pressed his hands on the 'Akainu' figures, and their originally lifeless eyes suddenly moved. Although they still looked like sculptures, a mysterious movement came over them.

"Atlas? What happened?" Several almost identical voices sounded at the same time.

Great Summoning no Justu: Sakazuki!!!
