Only to see above the sky.
At this moment, a giant floating island, obscuring the sky, suddenly appeared, descending from above and pressing toward Cake Castle!
The size of the island is nearly as large as Cake Island, and with the added impact of descending from an unknown height, the consequence is inevitable...
The entire Cake Island will be completely obliterated!
"Hey, what's going on!"
"The island, that island is falling towards us!"
"Is the end of the world... coming?!"
The members of the Charlotte Family on the open-air square, along with several emperors of the Underworld, couldn't help but display expressions of horror and panic.
Stussy's body trembled, her eyes also showing disbelief.
PLAN A had completely failed, she stayed here to witness the outcome of the battle between Kaido and Shano.
No matter who loses and dies, the World Government would be happy to see it.
But the result...
A scene from memory rapidly matched the one before her eyes.
She couldn't help but instinctively look to the side, at the two Sea Emperors who were her clones aboard the Rocks Ship.
"Hey, Lingling, capable of doing this..." Kaido forced himself to stand straight, narrowing his eyes seriously.
"Only that old thing." BIGMOM took a deep breath and replied.
"Zehahaha!!!"
At that moment, a arrogant laughter, akin to Blackbeard's, came from high above.
A figure with long golden hair, draped in a Kizaru-colored cloak, stood at the edge of the floating island, arms crossed, cigar in mouth, laughing heartily.
"Lingling! Kaido! It's been years, many years since I last saw you, didn't expect it, huh? I'm Golden Lion Shiki, back again!"
He spread his arms wide, as if the entire world was within his grasp.
"And that dazzling new generation kid, Shano! Zehahaha, it's rare for everyone to be here, today I'll use your lives to declare my return! Let this sea remember once again, who is the true ruler of the New World!"
Seventeen years.
A full seventeen years!
Seventeen years ago, he cut off his legs and escaped from Impel Down.
To take revenge on the World Government, to fulfill his ambition to rule the sea again, he had kept low and built strength in silence.
Originally, according to his plan, he intended to wait another two or three years.
Wait for his "IQ" Fierce Beast plan to fully succeed before officially declaring his return to the world.
But unexpectedly...
The sea has been tumultuous in recent years, heroes emerging one after another, first that Red Hair brat, then the even more terrifying up-and-comer, Shano!
Hey!
You newcomers!
Did you inherit Roger's will, each of you terrifying beyond reason, it's enough to make one's heart itch and unable to sit still!
Just in time.
News of Kaido and Shano locked in battle for days without a result has spread across the sea.
Golden Lion keenly realized, if he wants this era, which has gradually forgotten his name, to immediately recall the fear of being dominated by his massive fleet...
There is no better opportunity than this!
Just one Lingling cannot perfectly counter his island attack, take advantage of those other two exhausted, crush them!
One is claimed to be the world's strongest creature, a Four Emperor, and the other is nearly on par with Sea Emperors, the strongest newcomer in history.
As stepping stones for his return, they are worthy!
Enough to let Golden Lion's name again tremble the Four Seas, even surpass that old bastard still living!
"Zehahaha..."
Golden Lion's mouth grinned, his extended right hand, palm down, suddenly waved down!
"Speed it up for me!"
Rumble!!!
The floating giant island suddenly began accelerating its descent, the horrific shadow nearly engulfing the entire sky.
The air compressed to a piercing scream, the gale raging, even the top of Cake Castle began violently trembling, cracking and shaking!
"Shiki! You crazy old man... hey, Zeus!!"
BIGMOM roared in rage, a white cloud hurriedly flew over, she leapt onto it, ready to rush into the sky.
Shano's expression also slightly changed, flipping his right hand, an Immortal Bean was already clasped in his palm.
He has absolute confidence in the strength of his body, even in a state of exhaustion, he doesn't believe this island can crush him to death.
But what about his compatriots?
The millions of innocent people living on Cake Island?
They will surely suffer heavy casualties!
He doesn't want to see this scene, so even if he uses up his last Immortal Bean, he must...
"Jack! Lord Xiano hasn't recovered strength, stay there and protect him for me! The rest, join me in stopping this island with Charlotte Lingling!"
The girl's sharp cry suddenly sounded.
Clang!
Kuina's black ponytail danced wildly in the wind, after a low shout, she drew her sword, preparing to slash at the giant island!
And behind her, Kuma, Nojiko, Smoker, and others, along with the Commanders led by Katakuri, also leapt out, rushing into the sky.
"Rest assured, big sister!"
Jack shouted in response, in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a massive mammoth, squatting down, leaving just enough space to cover Shano underneath.
In this way...
Even if the island eventually crashes down, it will be Jack who dies, absolutely won't harm Lord Xiano!
Jack's eyes were full of determination.
