Chapter 50 The Sky Cracked! Restless Akainu

"Bastard, let's destroy this island together!"

Hee hee hee

Countless streams of hot magma dripped onto the castle. At temperatures reaching thousands of degrees, the hard stone floor quickly became riddled with holes.

If it weren't for the cold air emanating from Yamato's body, everyone would have been completely melted.

Even so, the unbearable heat wave still made its presence felt.

High in the sky,

Kaido did not take action but remained quietly above Onigashima.

His exaggerated and terrifying dragon form, coupled with the Conqueror's Haki radiating from him, created a crushing pressure that bore down on everyone.

This invisible force even seemed to warp reality.

Countless cracks appeared on the surrounding walls and ground, and the entire castle began to tremble.

Everyone stared blankly at the sky, unable to find words to describe the shock in their hearts.

"Are you kidding me? What is this?"

"Could this be Kaido's true strength?"

"Garros... No, can we really defeat such a monster?"

They had hoped that Garros' secret attack could end the battle swiftly.

But they didn't expect Kaido's vitality to be so resilient!

Not only did he remain standing, but he also inspired an endless fighting spirit.

At this moment, everyone felt as though they were facing a mythical and legendary creature.

The earlier joy vanished instantly,

Replaced by an indescribable tension, worry, and fear.

Though the surrounding temperature had risen to 40 or 50 degrees, it continued to climb.

Yet, Kozuki Hiyori felt a chill down her spine, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

This wasn't about courage or will; it was a primal instinctive reaction to a higher-level being.

Denjiro, Shutenmaru, and the others were in a similar state.

Under Kaido's overwhelming presence, their will to fight completely dissolved.

They were engulfed by an unprecedented sense of crisis, wanting to flee immediately.

However, their legs felt as though they were weighed down by lead, making even the smallest movement extremely difficult.

Yamato gritted her teeth and struggled to rise from the ground.

Just as she was about to launch an attack, an aura appeared beside her that was as formidable as Kaido's.

Cold, powerful, and trembling...

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but cast bewildered glances.

A dazzling blue light enveloped Garros' body.

A gigantic skeleton began to form around him, gradually becoming more distinct.

The figure and armor grew increasingly prominent.

In an instant, a giant warrior hundreds of meters tall stood atop Onigashima Castle.

He had wings on his back, wielded two enormous swords, and gazed directly at the sky!

Even facing Kaido, who was seriously injured, Garros did not dare to be careless.

If Kaido managed to escape, it would cause endless trouble in the future.

Garros knew they had to seize this opportunity to end the battle decisively!

With that in mind, he activated his Armament Haki, covering his entire body.

The azure warrior armor turned pitch black, reflecting a dark metallic sheen.

"This level is not enough..."

Garros' eyes narrowed as his Mangekyō Sharingan activated.

The next moment,

Endless black flames engulfed his entire body.

He was like a dark devil!

Above the clouds, the giant dragon's eyes flashed with surprise.

"What a perfect and powerful transformation..."

"Garros! Is this how you dare to challenge me?"

Garros replied calmly:

"Yes, this is a special gift prepared just for you."

Kaido shook his head with great regret:

"Are you determined to be my enemy? What a pity."

"Garros, although your betrayal displeases me greatly, if you kill these warriors now, I might forget it."

"If we join forces, the Big Mom Pirates and the Marine World Government will be nothing. The Beasts Pirates will dominate the entire sea!"

Garros raised his sword to the sky.

"Are you still spouting this nonsense?"

"Fine, then I'll have to kill you..."

The two locked eyes.

Their Conqueror's Haki clashed fiercely in mid-air.

It was like a real, terrifying pressure, sweeping outwards like a roaring mountain and tsunami.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify, making it hard to breathe.

"They have such terrifying power even before fighting each other. These two are absolute monsters."

Denjiro's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard.

Though he knew Garros was powerful, he hadn't expected it to be this extreme.

Even Lord Kozuki Oden might not have been as formidable!

No, perhaps he was even stronger!

"It's happening again..."

Shutenmaru's eyes narrowed.

Though it wasn't the first time he had seen Garros in this form,

He was still extremely shocked.

Compared to their last fight, Garros seemed even stronger now.

"Maybe, he can really defeat Kaido..."

Yamato was also speechless with shock,

But after a moment, she suddenly realized and said urgently:

"This battle is beyond our reach. It's not safe here! We need to leave quickly!"

With that, she transformed into her divine wolf form and carried everyone away from the battlefield.

As time ticked by,

The momentum between the two seemed to be reaching its peak.

Kaido's earlier battle with the Red Scabbards and others had already left him wounded.

The injury from Akainu's attack still ached on his back.

Arriving at Onigashima, he fought fiercely with Yamato and the others.

Though they were no match for him,

They had still drained a significant amount of his energy.

The worst part was,

He had endured Garros' fatal black flame slash without any preparation.

Even though he had transformed into a giant flame dragon, temporarily suppressing the black flames,

Kaido still felt deeply exhausted.

He knew he might not be able to maintain this form for long.

"Garros, this is my strongest attack."

"Let's see it!"

"Rising Dragon Flame Eight Trigrams!"

With a thunderous roar,

Conqueror's Haki surrounded by raging flames gathered on the dragon's head.

Carrying unmatched power, it charged towards the castle below like a meteor!

Garros took a deep breath.

At this moment, he held nothing back.

Spreading his wings, he soared into the sky!

Dark thunder and Yama.

Black flames billowed from his two great swords, erupting in a dazzling black light.

He slashed towards the flame dragon in the sky!

"Rising Dragon Flame Eight Trigrams!"

"Flame Blade: King-Slaying Death Cut!"

The world seemed to stand still.

The next moment,

Boom!

A colossal roar filled everyone's ears as the entire Onigashima Island seemed to shake.

One red and one black flame raged fiercely, distorting the air under the intense heat.

Everything within a radius of several hundred meters was reduced to nothingness.

The shockwave, destructive beyond imagination, spread rapidly in all directions.

It reached the sea thousands of meters away, turning the calm waters into towering waves.

Hurricanes and earthquakes followed, like natural disasters.

The impact even reached the territory of Wano.

At Rabbit Bowl Quarry, the cells were overcrowded with Beasts Pirates members.

"Damn Garros, let me Out!"

"When Boss Kaido returns, we'll make sure this bastard pays!"

Quinn, wearing thick seastone handcuffs, wiped the sweat from his forehead, yelling and cursing.

Suddenly, the ground shook.

Fozifu noticed something and quickly approached the small window, peering outside and shouting:

"Hey, look! Something terrible seems to be happening on Onigashima!"

"Move aside," Quinn pushed him aside. After staring for a moment, he said uncertainly, "Could this feeling mean Master Kaido is back?"

Everyone's eyes lit up with hope as they gathered around.

But the next moment, Quinn's eyes widened in alarm as a terrible premonition struck his heart.

"Wait! Something's wrong!"

Above Onigashima,

The crimson flames that had filled the sky gradually faded, swallowed up by the encroaching black flames.

In the Flower Capital,

Following Kurozumi's downfall, countless people had spontaneously gathered in the streets for farewell ceremonies.

Suddenly, an exclamation shattered the cheerful and warm atmosphere.

"Look! The sky..."

"What is this black flame? It feels terrifying!"

Countless people looked up blankly in the direction of Onigashima.

The black flames in the sky were gradually dissipating.

A crack appeared across the sky, leaving everyone in shock.

The scene before them was completely beyond comprehension.

After a brief moment of stunned silence,

Panic set in. People began to run, shout, and even kneel to pray.

"What's happening?"

"Is this a punishment from the gods? What did we do wrong?"

The Flower Capital plunged into chaos.

Among the crowd, a short old man wearing a Tengu mask stood on a high platform and shouted:

"...Please listen!"

"No, this is not a punishment from the gods, but our salvation!"

The speaker was none other than Tenguyama Hitetsu, the former owner of the Second Generation Kitetsu.

He also held another title,

The last shogun of Wano - Kozuki Sukiyaki.

The rioting crowd slowly quieted down, casting puzzled glances.

Kozuki Sukiyaki gazed intently toward Onigashima.

"To save Wano, Mr. Garros chose to fight Kaido!"

"It seems he might have won."

People exchanged disbelieving looks and said:

"Garros? Isn't he a Beasts Pirates executive? Why is he fighting Kaido?"

"The sky? Is this power even humanly possible?"

"Only a legendary dragon-slaying swordsman could achieve this!"

Meanwhile, near Wano's waters,

Two warships cut through the sea, leaving behind a trail of white waves.

The sea breeze roared, causing the ship's flags to snap.

The Marines on the deck watched the sea ahead, ready for any threats.

In the captain's room,

Akainu was in discussion with Onigumo.

Bang bang bang

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The adjutant opened the door and saluted sharply.

"Report! Admiral Akainu, we'll reach the target location in about ten minutes."

Akainu nodded and stood up.

"It's finally here. I hope we're not too late..."

"The terrain of Wano is easy to defend and hard to attack. I'll assess the situation with the Beasts Pirates first."

"Onigumo, I leave this to you."

"No problem..."

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Aokiji's voice came from outside the door.

He was wrapped in thick bandages and stood at the entrance.

"Sakazuki, I'm coming with you."

Akainu frowned and replied bluntly:

"Your injuries aren't fully healed. I don't want to carry dead weight."

Aokiji shook his head, his usual laziness replaced by a serious demeanor.

"Even if Kaido was severely injured before, you can't underestimate the Beasts Pirates—King, Quinn, and Garros. They're formidable opponents."

"Especially Garros. Not only did he kill three Big Mom Pirates generals by himself, but he also escaped being pursued by fifty warships."

"I've recovered about 60-70% of my strength, so don't worry."

Akainu was about to respond when suddenly the ship shook violently.

Tea cups, documents, and other items on the desk fell to the ground.

"What's happening? Is it a tsunami?"

Akainu frowned and strode toward the deck.

Though the Marine force had less experience in the New World and wasn't very familiar with these waters,

The navigators on their warships were elite and had carefully analyzed their route.

It had been confirmed that severe weather, such as tsunamis and storms, would not occur near Wano.

Suppressing his doubts, Akainu quickly reached the deck.

The sea was tumultuous, with enormous waves crashing in their direction.

Shouts filled the deck.

"Not good! There's a massive tsunami ahead!"

"The impact is coming! Prepare yourselves!"

"Quick! Furl the sails!"

"Hold on tight!"

The sea was rough,

With strong winds and huge waves battering the ship.

Marine soldiers huddled together, clinging to the mast or nearby objects.

The cold sea water slapped their faces, but they were too stunned to notice, staring blankly at the distant sky. Exclamations echoed.

"Look! What is that?"

Following their gaze,

A black sea of fire appeared on the distant horizon.

Just seeing it from afar was enough to invoke an overwhelming sense of dread.

The sailors were paralyzed with fear, many crouching on the ground, trembling with their hands over their heads.

This profound fear shattered their psychological defenses.

They desperately wanted to distance themselves from the source of this terror.

Akainu's face darkened, and he couldn't help but scold them.

"Pull yourselves together! How pathetic!"

"Full speed ahead! I want to see who's responsible for this!"

Despite his harsh words, even Akainu himself began to tremble slightly.

"This feeling is truly unsettling."

Aokiji then joined Akainu on the deck, looking gravely into the distance.

"The sky cracked?"

"Who could have done this? What's happening on Ghost Island?"
