Hum!
Hum hum!
Hum hum hum—
As a series of humming sounds echoed, the surrounding air began to vibrate at a low frequency.
"This is—"
Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the paper, even someone as powerful as Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, widened his eyes in shock and exclaimed.
"Conqueror's Haki."
BOOM—
A deafening explosion rang out and the piece of paper turned to ash.
In the next moment the Conqueror's Haki which surpassed all else, was fully unleashed in an eerie manner.
In an instant, the entire warship was enveloped in the black and red flame cloud formed by the Conqueror's Haki.
The low-frequency vibrations in the air grew increasingly intense, one wave after another.
While shocking Kaido, it also sent a shiver through the souls of the two Calamities of the Beasts Pirates and the various officers under Kaido who were currently battling the Marines.
Facing the Conqueror's Haki released in such a bizarre manner, Kaido didn't dare to be careless.
He immediately unleashed his own Conqueror's Haki to counter it.
The moment the two Conqueror's Haki clashed, an even more terrifying shockwave rippled out in circles from Sakazuki and Kaido.
"It's over, it's over!"
"Sakazuki Magma-Magma Fruit ability was already monstrous and now he's awakened Conqueror's Haki. The Governor advantage is gone!"
"Stop talking nonsense! The Governor is the strongest creature on land, sea, and air. What does it matter if Sakazuki awakened Conqueror's Haki? He'll still be taken down by the Governor!"
"This isn't the time to worry about them! Someone help me! These Marines have gone mad, completely mad!"
Although the members of the Beasts Pirates were also shaken by the sudden surge of Conqueror's Haki, they had no time to dwell on it.
With the appearance of Conqueror's Haki, they noticed that the Marine soldiers had become even more frenzied, as if the Haki had granted them boundless energy, allowing the previously exhausted Marines to unleash astonishing strength and terrifying combat power once again.
Feeling the purity and dominance of this Conqueror's Haki, Kaido suppressed the shock in his heart and fixed his intense gaze on Sakazuki, who stood atop his spiked club.
He said in a deep voice "Sakazuki, I never expected you to awaken Conqueror's Haki!"
Before the words had fully left his mouth, Kaido tightened his grip on the club and the Conqueror's Haki wrapped around it intensified.
The overwhelming pressure unique to the strongest creature on land, sea, and air surged forth, crashing toward Sakazuki like a tidal wave.
"You're wrong, Kaido!"
Sakazuki magma-covered arms continued to flow with molten rock, his aura no less imposing than Kaido's.
"This is the Conqueror's Haki that Fleet Admiral Orion stored in a piece of paper. Though it was just a casual act on his part, it's more than enough to suppress you!"
As soon as the word "enough" left his lips, Sakazuki suddenly raised his head and his magma-covered fist shot forward with blazing energy.
"Meigo!"
BOOM—
With an earth-shattering explosion, Kaido, who was distracted by the clash of Conqueror's Haki, was sent flying uncontrollably.
Before Kaido could regain his footing, Sakazuki charged forward, his magma-covered fist striking out without hesitation.
"INUGAMI GUREN!"
In a low, cold voice, the magma-covered fist transformed into a ferocious dog head, its fiery and domineering energy lunging toward Kaido with bared fangs.
"Sakazuki, what are you so arrogant about?!"
Kaido, who had been sent flying, was thoroughly enraged by Sakazuki words.
He unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, wrapping it around his spiked club and swung it down with full force against the oncoming dog head.
BOOM—
With another deafening explosion, the ferocious dog head shattered under the impact of the club.
Immediately after, Kaido stepped forward with his club in hand, roaring in anger.
"What do you mean by 'casually injected'? On this vast sea, no one understands Conqueror's Haki better than I do!"
"Is that so?"
Sakazuki sneered coldly. "The Conqueror's Haki you're so proud of is merely the threshold to meet Fleet Admiral Orion! When you see him, you'll realize just how vast the gap between you and him truly is!"
"Especially in the realm of Conqueror's Haki, seeing him is like a mayfly gazing at the heavens!"
***
Meanwhile.
On the deck of the Beasts Pirates' Brachiosaurus ship, even though they were hundreds of meters apart, Queen and King were both startled by the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki that swept over them, causing them to turn their heads in surprise.
However, they didn't hear the conversation between Sakazuki and Kaido.
After sensing the immense pressure of the Conqueror's Haki, they couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"What's going on?"
"Has Sakazaki awakened Conqueror's Haki?"
Whoosh, whoosh—
As soon as they finished speaking, several figures descended from the sky, none other than Gion and the three Vice Admirals led by Tokikake.
"Gion!"
Unexpectedly, Gion had returned.
King, the "Wildfire" didn't hesitate for a moment.
In a flash, he appeared above Gion, his longsword ablaze with fierce flames and he slashed down at her with a decisive strike.
"Tokikake, Queen is yours to handle!"
Facing King domineering and swift slash, Gion didn't dodge or retreat. Instead, she raised her sword to meet the attack head-on.
Clang, clang, clang—
In an instant, Gion and King exchanged over a dozen blows in mid-air.
The sound of their clashing swords echoed incessantly and one after another, shockwaves from their strikes radiated outwards, sweeping across the battlefield.
"Gion, do you really think you can kill me?"
King, wielding his longsword, launched a frenzied assault on Gion.
Taking advantage of his hybrid beast form, he deftly avoided each of Gion strikes while using his wings to create powerful wind blades to disrupt her attacks.
Gion remained silent, gripping her sword, Konpira and seizing every fleeting opportunity to unleash devastating shockwaves.
As their speed increased, their strikes grew more ferocious and overwhelming.
The terrifying shockwaves were like thunder and tsunamis, relentless and unending.
Facing Gion relentless onslaught, King parried her strikes while coldly remarking.
"I just noticed you're wearing the Admiral cloak. But compared to the three Admirals, your strength is still far behind!"
"Trying to take me down won't be so easy!"
Whoosh, whoosh—
Boom!!!
Two powerful shockwaves collided once again.
After blocking Gion sword, King suddenly grabbed his own head and swiftly pulled it back.
Before Gion could react, King, having stretched his head to an exaggerated height, released it without hesitation.
"Karyudon!"
As King voice echoed, his head, stretched to an extreme height, snapped back with terrifying force, carrying a shockwave that instantly filled Gion vision.
Faced with King lightning-fast "Karyudon" Gion had no time to retract her sword for defense.
Instead, she used the Navy "Soru" technique to instantly flash two meters away, narrowly avoiding the attack.
As soon as she dodged, Gion immediately raised her sword and crouched, saying in a low voice.
"As you said, my strength indeed falls short of the three Admirals!"
"But—"
At this point, Gion suddenly looked up, her aura surging to its peak.
"For the Fleet Admiral!"
"I will be unstoppable and I will cut down anyone standing on his way!"
