Chapter 313: Arc 18: Onigashima in Tumult - Luffy's All-Out War Begins
The scar that Oden left me... Kaido realized the Akazaya Nine had struck his old wound. Why does it hurt? How did the blade pierce my body? Are they using Oden's Ryuo?
"Let it pierce through the other side!" Kin'emon yelled.
On the Live Floor...
"They're the Akazaya Nine." Yamato gawked. "Oden's real retainers."
"They're so strong." Luffy was impressed.
"This is a dangerous banquet." Big Mom chuckled. "Is Kaido dead?"
"No way!" Queen declared. "The invincible Kaido-sama can't be dead. Fight them. Kill the Akazaya rats."
"Straw Hat, Kid and the others earlier were just decoys for this surprise attack?" King noted. "Stay alert, you guys."
"There might be intruders somewhere." Jack reminded.
"That's right." Hyogoro confirmed, shedding his disguise and attacking the Gifters surrounding him, Yatappe following suit. "Listen, you weaklings. We won't let you harm Kin'emon and the others.
"We're gonna join them." Luffy decided.
"Let's give Kaido another trashing." Yamato agreed.
"There you are!" Ulti roared, charging towards Yamato. "Yamato!" she clashed with her adversary.
"You came in droves again." Yamato found herself surrounded.
"How dare you hit me?" Ulti fumed. "It hurt so bad. I'm your ally, but you attacked me and you're running alongside Straw Hat. What are you doing?"
"There's nothing wrong." Yamato replied. "The day I become Kozuki Oden has finally come."
"Young Master Yamato, we have a problem." one of the Gifters reported. "Your father was just attacked and there is a bunch of enemies on the floor."
"I know." Yamato retorted. "I'm not your ally anymore and I don't care if my father dies."
"Gomu Gomu no Whip!" Luffy extended a leg to sweep the attacking Gifters away.
"What is it this time?" Big Mom was alerted by the fight. "There is really too much going on at this banquet.
"Gomu Gomu no Elephant Gun!" Luffy's enlarged arm punched through a group of fleeing Gifters. "Big Mom!" he gawked at the fuming Yonkou. "Not when I'm so busy."
"I finally found you." Big Mom declared. "Straw Hat."
"Get out of my way, Ulti." Yamato clashed with Ulti once more. "I'm Kozuki Oden and I'll take down Kaido."
"Who's Oden?" Ulti snapped. "You have to cherish your family."
"Look who's talking." Yamato fired back. "In that case, be nice to Page One."
"Don't tell me what to do." Ulti roared. "I'm nicer to Pay-Pay than anyone else in the world."
"Keeping a low profile here will help at some point." Jinbe stopped Sasha and Robin from joining the fray. "So, be patient for now. When the time is ripe, we will go all out."
"Carrot, let's make a break for it." Nami told Carrot.
"That's impossible." the homie holding Nami captive mocked. "Mama's orders are absolute."
"Prepare yourself." Nami glared, pulling out her Sorcery Clima-Tact. "Black Ball." she injected a long chain of thunder clouds into the homie's mouth. "Storm Cloud!" she electrocuted the homie.
"Eleclaw!" the now freed Carrot added in her attack for good measure.
"Ninpo: Ectoplasm Thunder!" the combined lightning attack took out the Homies Big Mom had conjured.
"Straw Hat!" Big Mom charged straight towards Luffy.
"Gomu Gomu no Elephant Gun!" Luffy let loose his Armament Haki-infused punch, Big Mom countering with an Armament Haki-infused punch of her own.
"You kicked sand in the eyes of my pirate group so to kill you I came all the way from Totto Land." Big Mom bragged, overpowering Luffy. "Straw Hat."
"Zeus." Nami sang, having lured the homie back to her with a series of Black Balls. "I'm glad you're okay." she turned on her 'Dark Mode'. "I was worried about you."
With the Akazaya Nine...
"'Like the Moon, you are ignorant of the Dawn.'" Kin'emon recited Toki's prophecy. "'If there is one ardent wish that must be fulfilled, it will be when nine shadows are cast woven together through twenty years of moonlit nights. Only then shall you understand the radiance of Dawn.' Our time has come. By taking Kaido's head, we will avenge our lord, Kozuki Oden."
With a burst of Conqueror's Haki, Kaido blasted the Akazaya Nine off his body.
On the Live Floor...
"Straw Hat, why are you here?" Big Mom demanded. "Don't tell me you came here to take down Kaido; that's too funny."
"That's not what I'm here for." Luffy replied.
With the Akazaya Nine...
"After 20 years, the Akazaya Samurai will come to get their revenge." Kaido stated. "Orochi's prediction that no one believed was connected with all the other dots. I can't believe you joined hands with pirates. The rumor about the shadows at the ruins of Oden Castle, Punk Hazard, Dressrosa, Zou the Phantom Island; behind it all was the Straw Hats. By a curious coincidence, you guys were hiding behind the Straw Hats who I see as my enemies. Some of you held on for 20 years, while others jumped forward and ran around, and you ended up gathering all your troops. But pirates will stab you in the back. The moment they know you'll lose, they'll abandon you and run. Besides, I've already taken Straw Hat down a peg once."
"You're insulting him." Kin'emon growled. "Luffy-dono is nothing like you guys."
On the Live Floor...
"You, Kaido, the officers, Orochi and all your subordinates," Luffy declared. "I'm here to kick all your asses."
With the Akazaya Nine...
"He is the man who will stand at the pinnacle of the sea some day." Kin'emon continued. "Even if we die, he will still be here. The Daybreak will come to Wano again, because this is what we promised our Lord."
On the Live Floor...
"It's gonna be an all-out war!" Luffy officially declared war.
