Chapter 310: Maser Cannon!
On the battlefield of Hachinosu port, the flames of war and gunpowder smoke intertwined. The smell of blood permeated the salty sea breeze, making the air feel as heavy and solid as lead.
"Drought" Jack, who had already been pushed to the brink of death by the combined efforts of Luffy and Ace, could no longer maintain his original massive mammoth form. His eight-meter-tall body knelt on the shattered paving stones of the port.
His tusks were broken and splintered, his steel-like hide scorched black. Dense fist prints and burn marks crisscrossed his body, as if every single one were a mark carved by the Grim Reaper.
His chest heaved violently. Every breath was as laborious as a broken bellows. His consciousness was blurred to the point of almost extinguishing, yet he still gripped his shattered serrated shotels tightly. His knuckles were strained white, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.
"I can't... fall yet..."
"The Beast Pirates... cannot end here..."
Ace's footsteps crunched on the gravel. The firelight reflected his cold eyes. Blazing flames ignited on his knuckles, the heatwave distorting the surrounding air.
"It's over, Drought."
"FIRE FIST!!!"
The blazing flames transformed into a roaring fire dragon, lunging for Jack's head with a destructive aura capable of incinerating everything!
"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!"
The high sky was abruptly cleaved open by another crimson flash of firelight. King dove down from the sky transformed into a Pteranodon. His single wing flapped madly, bringing with it a shrieking gale and shockwaves.
"Imperial Deep Pride (Sodon)!!!"
"SWISH-SWISH-SWISH—!!!"
Dozens of flaming bullets, densely packed like a rainstorm and wreathed in Armament Haki, forcibly blasted Ace's Fire Fist apart in mid-air!
"BANG! BANG! BANG—!!!"
The explosive light and flames illuminated half the port. King's pterosaur body landed heavily, half-kneeling in front of Jack to shield him.
Blood from his severed wing dripped down his scales, hissing as it splashed onto the scalding hot rocks. The calmness in his eyes was long gone, replaced by a bone-deep resolve.
"Jack... hold on!!!"
This hoarse roar had long lost its former cool arrogance, carrying instead an unsuppressible anxiety and fury.
With a flash of a blood-red shadow, Kuina glided out from the shadows of the ruins. The Wado Ichimonji gleamed with a crimson, chilling edge: "Conflagration... you can't escape."
On the other side, Luffy had already leaped into the air, his fists covered in pink dragon scales ready to strike.
In Ace's palm, a blazing white, high-temperature fireball condensed, the heatwave like a scorching sun swallowing the air.
The three formed a triangular encirclement, completely trapping King and Jack amidst the ruins of the port. Their killing intent pressed down like a mountain!
King's pupils shrank sharply. The flames on his single wing expanded madly, his breathing rapid to the point of near loss of control.
In the distance, Kaido's eyes were practically splitting with rage, but he was firmly trapped by Kuzan's freezing domain.
Frost spread from the earth and the air, locking down his range of movement. The Fist Bone attacks carrying ice spikes repeatedly forced him onto the defensive.
"Kaido... you're dead meat." Kuzan's voice was as cold as the deep sea.
"BULLSH*T!!!"
Kaido's roar shattered the cloud layer. "I am... the World's Strongest Creature!!!"
However, lightning abruptly exploded in the sky! Enel's lightning descended from the firmament, surrounding Kaido's dragon body like countless chains. The electrical arcs burned his scales until they were charred black and peeling.
Kaido's heart sank, and he fiercely looked toward the execution platform—
Hanafuda, bound by Seastone chains, was in tears, roaring hoarsely: "Big Brother... leave me be!!!"
"RETREAT—!!!"
Below the execution platform, the Tobi Roppo were a mess of wreckage across the ground.
Ulti had been beaten back into her human form. A hideous gash split her forehead, blood blurring her vision, yet she still mumbled hoarsely: "Father..."
Page One's Spinosaurus spine was broken. Kneeling in the rubble, he propped himself up with both hands on the ground, gritting his teeth and growling lowly: "Big Sis... I... can still fight..."
Who's-Who, Sasaki, and Black Maria had long since fallen unconscious. Drake's figure lay deep in the shadows, coughing up blood, his breathing weak...
...
Ace, Luffy, and Kuina lunged at the heavily injured King like falcons locking onto their prey. In just a few exchanges, King's chest took another blade, his blood splashing onto the shattered paving stones.
But even so, he gritted his teeth and swung his blades with both arms, standing guard in front of Jack without retreating a single step.
"Dragon Bone: METEOR!!!"
Luffy caught an opening. His iron fist, covered in pink dragon scales, swung out fiercely, smashing heavily into King's chest with earth-shattering power!
"PFFT!!!"
King's body was directly blasted flying by this strike, the flames burning on his single wing abruptly extinguishing.
Relying on his last ounce of strength, Jack let out a furious roar and leaped up, catching King's body.
"BOOM!!!"
The two, along with shattered stones, plummeted into a deep crater in the ground. A heavy, muffled thud was accompanied by a spurt of blood. King and Jack's auras plummeted simultaneously; both were spent forces.
"Let's end this!"
Ace and Kuina's figures flashed, appearing above the crater almost simultaneously, their killing intent pressing down like a physical weight.
Flames ignited in the center of Ace's fist, and Kuina's Blood Moon sword light was like a venomous snake devouring souls.
"FIRE PILLAR!!!"
"Blood Moon Style: HEART-PIERCING THRUST!!!"
A torrent of fire and blood slashes poured down, enough to turn the crater into scorched earth!
Just in the nick of time—
"MASER CANNON (MEIKO HO)!!!"
A heaven-shaking, furious roar exploded from the sea surface outside the port!
"SWISH!!!"
A high-density beam of light broke through the air. Carrying the crackle of lightning and the blazing heat of fire, a sword gleam condensed within the energy ring, like a heavenly punishment piercing the sky!
"BOOM!!!"
The laser precisely intercepted their combined attack. The explosive shockwave flipped half the port over! With its momentum undiminished, the beam aimed straight for Ace's chest!
"What?!" Ace's pupils shrank sharply.
Kuina swung her blade horizontally to retreat, her heart trembling: "This kind of power... could it be?!!"
"ACE—!!!"
Luffy's figure instantly flashed in front of Ace. His arms, covered in pink dragon scales, crossed to block!
"BANG!!!"
The terrifying impact instantly blasted the two brothers away together. They crashed heavily into a distant cliff wall, sending shattered stone and dust shooting into the sky!
On the sea surface, a giant tart ship was breaking through the waves and approaching!
The hull was battered, the deck covered in scorch marks and impact scars. Of the original three giant ships, only this one was still capable of sailing!
Above the ship, Charlotte Linlin stood upon Zeus. The blade of Napoleon was wreathed in lightning and fire, and Prometheus churned beside her, burning with high-temperature flames!
"Mamamama——!!!" Her laughter seemed to carry anger and arrogance.
"You bastard Kaido, do you have any idea how much I paid just to get here?!!"
At the bow, Katakuri's arms transformed into mochi spears pointing straight ahead. Smoothie gripped her longsword, and Cracker's Biscuit Warriors stood in throngs on the deck!
A trace of pleasant surprise flashed in Kaido's dragon pupils, which then transformed into towering battle intent: "Perfect timing!!!"
Kuzan's expression turned slightly cold, exhaling a puff of white mist: "Arara... this is going to be really troublesome now."
The lightning on Enel's golden staff flared up. He sneered like a blade: "She's just an old hag... perfect timing to slaughter her too."
