Chapter 317: Arc 18: Overwhelming Strength! The Straw Hats Come Together

On the roof...

The battle against Jack's men and the Minks was heating up.

"We're going to stop them." in his Sulong form, Concelot declared.

Shishilian, Blackback and Roddy followed suit, the electric waves emitting from their Sulong forms taking out Jack's men.

A smack from Nangi's club knocked the four Minks into a nearby tree.

"Exterminate the Minks." Jack ordered.

"We Minks have a strong will." Concelot shot back to his feet. "We'll take you down."

"Do your worst." Jack accepted the challenge and the four Minks charged up again.

Shishilian and Giovanni struck first, embedding their blades into Jack's trunk.

"This will finish you off." Concelot leapt into the air, his sword raised above his head as Blackback held Jack down.

Completely unfazed, Jack took out the attacking Minks with a swat of his trunk.

"I can't take it anymore." Raizo growled, the defeated Minks having been knocked out of their Sulong forms.

"Thank you for fighting until this point." Kin'emon noted. "We will take care of the rest."

"Wait." Dogstorm cut in.

"Kin'emon." Cat Viper added. "Let us handle this."

Under the full moon, the two rulers of Zou morphed into their Sulong forms.

"How fast." Jack was stunned by the two Minks' speed as they shot towards him.

On the Live Floor...

Luffy managed to propel himself to the roof, avoiding getting stabbed by four of Orochi's samurai. "I see the sky." he peered at the hole on the roof, easily taking out the samurai attacking him from above. "I think I can get up there from here."

"Queen-sama!" one of the guards reported, training his shotgun at Luffy who had landed on the railing.

"Shut up." Queen retorted," puffing his cigarette. "I'm on break here."

"It's Straw Hat." the guard informed.

"What?" Queen exclaimed. "Straw Hat?"

Just then, Zoro sliced his way in.

"And he isn't alone?" Queen shouted.

"Luffy." Zoro spotted his Captain. "Where are you going?"

"Up to where Kaido is." Luffy answered

"I''ll come with you." Zoro insisted.

"I won't let you guys go." Queen swore.

"What's that giant creature down there?" Zoro demanded, spotting Jaki, jumping off the railing to use Luffy as a catapult.

"Gomu Gomu Rocket!" Luffy propelled Zoro and himself straight towards the hole in the roof.

Queen had turned into his Brachiosaurus form and stretched out his neck, catching the falling Luffy and Zoro in his mouth. "I won't let you fools go, you fools." he swore.

"I won't let you in this area." King flew in with his subordinates.

With a dramatic flail, Queen tossed Luffy and Zoro to the ground and into Jaki's awaiting mouth.

"Get out of my way." Luffy retorted, readying a punch.

"Screw you." Zoro added, both Captain and swordsman leveled two kicks on the giant.

"Straw Hat." Hyogoro ran up, his men following behind.

"The big one is back for more." Zoro noted.

"Leave it to me." Franky drove in on the Black Rhino. "Come on, Brachio Tank."

As if on cue, Brachio Tank rode up.

"Let's start combining." Franky informed. "Sorry, this robot is a single-seater." he kicked Usopp and Chopper out. "Iron Pirate, General Franky!" he posed. "Franky Cannon!" he blasted Jaki with his shoulder cannons.

"That bird brain..." Sanji climbed out of the rubble he fell in. "He almost punched a hole through my stomach. This suit is annoyingly solid." he then deactivated his Raid Suit.

"Here they come." Hyogoro warned, the Pleasured gathering around Goki and Juki. "Buck up, guys. The enemies are right in front of us."

"Gear Second." Luffy jumped up form behind Hyogoro's forces. "Gomu Gomu Jet Gatling!"

"One Sword Style: 360-Pound Phoenix!" Zoro had also charged right in.

"Special Attack, Green Star: Skull Exploding Grass!" Usopp joined in the fray as well.

Chopper had also entered the fight in Kung Fu Point.

"Mil Fleur, Gigantesco Mano: Stomp!" Robin manifested a pair of large legs, using them pummel the attacking Pleasures.

"You have to pay attention." a Bat Pleasure shot down from the sky.

"Pentagram Sword!" Sasha effortlessly took out the aerial Pleasure in her 'Dragonite's Wheel Armor'.

"Three-Pace Hum: Notch Slash." beside Sasha, Brook had also entered the fight.

"Thunderbolt Tempo!" Nami took out the group of bee Pleasures chasing her.

"Nami, I'm coming to help." using Sky Walk, the love-struck Sanji hurried over to Nami. "Poêle à Frire: Spectre!" he shot down a rain of flame bullets at the archers shooing at him.

"Everyone's quite strong." Jinbe noted. "As a newcomer, I have to keep up. Oh dear, I shouldn't have overdone it like that." he took out an alligator Pleasure with a single punch.

"You're scary in serious mode, Jinbe-sensei." Sasha joked.

"This is the 'marauder's sword'." Franky pulled out General Franky's sword. "Franken. General Watch-Your-Step." he then swept through the Pleasures with said weapon.

"You just took down some weaklings." Queen mocked. "Don't flatter yourselves."

"We still have a numerical advantage." King added.

"I'm sorry." Hyogoro chuckled. "This situation kind of tickles my funny bone. We still got a bunch of enemies around us. But for some reason, I don't feel like we're gonna lose."

"I thought I could just get there by jumping." Luffy cursed. "Damn, it's not that easy."

"I'll come with you." Zoro offered. "Let's just get to the top."

"What a pain." Sanji complained. "Are they all capable of flying?"

"With Zeus powering her up, Nami's going have an easy time with them." Sasha reminded.

"If we tear off their wings, they're just like caterpillars." Robin pointed out.

"The way you put it creeps me out as always." Usopp shivered.

"So, they're the Leader Performers that everyone's talking about." Brook chuckled.

"They look strong, but our Captain is stronger." Chopper jumped in.

"As a navigator, it's my duty to help my Captain get where he wants to go." Nami added.

"Leave it to me." General Franky assured. "This General Franky will clear the way for you."

"Let's go, Captain." Jinbe agreed.

"Let's do it one more time." Luffy rallied his crew. "Everyone, I'll leave the rest to you. Back us up. I'm gonna go take down Kaido.
