"Run for your lives! Master King has lost it!" a grunt called out as Zoro, David and their allies ran as King was slashing anything nearby with his wings.
As a slash came their way, they broke through a wall to run into Franky and the Arise group.
"Whoa…you guys all right?" Franky asked.
"He just started going nuts for some reason." Zoro said as they saw part of King's mask was broken.
"Whoa…they broke his mask. No wonder he lost it. No one knows what King's face really looks like." one of the enemy soldiers said.
"What, does he have face reveal issues!?" Mythra exclaimed.
"That's what you're worried about?!" Law asked.
Part of King's face where the mask broke showed tanned skin and white hair.
"Wh-what?" David asked in shock as he took a closer look at King's hair.
"Dammit King! Enough with the chaotic attacks! You sliced my butt!" Queen complained.
"Shame it wasn't your neck." King said.
"What?!" Queen said in anger.
"If they start fighting… That could be a big advantage!" Mio exclaimed.
"Yeah…but doubt they're gonna give us a chance!" Zoro said as King flew at them again. "Move!"
"Okay!" Franky said as he and the Arise group moved out of the way.
"Imperial…" King said as he flew at them.
"Don't worry about us. We'll take the fight with Ridley's long-lost cousin outside." David said.
"Three Sword Style…Ultra Tiger Hunt!" Zoro said.
"Archer!" King said as he flew into the group as they were knocked out of the Skull Dome.
"We're doomed! Doomed!" Law said.
"Hold it together, Law!" Alphen said.
"Two Sword Style…Clear Lance!" Zoro said, forcing himself and the others back onto the land. "Least have the decency to let me die by the sword."
Rinkah had been absorbing flames when she saw the group fly out of the Skull Dome, making her jump a bit, soon seeing them come back as she smiled. "Enjoy the ride?"
"Ha. Ha." Mythra groaned.
"Well, we've been through worse." David said.
"This guy…needs to show a little respect." Zoro said.
"I could say the same of all of you." King said.
"Oh so this is the prick you all are fighting." Rinkah said, looking at King.
"Yep. It's him." David said. "Looks like someone out of a Death Metal cover, does he?"
"Yeah. A worst selling one." Rinkah joked.
"Also he doesn't like face reveals." Mythra joked.
"Oh really now? Is that why he's so pissy?" Rinkah asked.
"Mhm!" Mythra laughed.
"It's because we chipped his mask." David said. "Hmm… You know, King. I can't seem to get a good read on you. I can tell you are strong, no doubt, but you seem to like mixing things up a lot. Not that I'm complaining." he said as he let Kyogre out of his Pokéball.
"Woah hey, you're not gonna fight him with just that Pokémon are you!?" Mythra exclaimed.
"He acts as a limiter to my power. My transformations tend to be so strong my body can't take it. But it looks like I might have to get serious this time." David said. "Kyogre… Do it. Undergo Primal Reversion. Release my bindings!"
(Cue- Theme of Gogeta (SS4)- Dragon Ball FighterZ)
Kyogre roared as it changed into Primal Kyogre. As David's body begins to crystalize, he undergoes Sapphire God: Burst Mode at the same time, creating a combination with his full Ice Reaper Armament as his armor was completely crystallized with two blue orbs for eyes.
"No way… This transformation… Can it be…?" Esmeralda asked, watching from afar.
"His Burst Mode and complete Ice Reaper transformation together? How is this possible?" Sachiko asked.
"Wi̷t̨h ҉eńo͏ugh w̕ill…͠ ͜Human̷s can do anyt͜h̷ing. Th̵is͘ w̵a̶ś t̴ò b҉e ҉m̧y ̷trum͢p ͢ca̸r̛d̸ ̷a̕g̨ain̨st͟ K͠ąid̸o͜." David said, his voice slightly distorted.
"Then you're not fighting alone!" Rinkah yelled as she rushed next to David. "If that's your trump card, you need some energy saved up for Kaido! Let me fight alongside you, I've got enough flame power to transform again myself!"
Rinkah stomped her foot down, as she roared, her flames and hair turning white, her tribal mask hair turning back to red as she exploded in shimmering white flames, as she flowed with power, her muscles bulking slightly more as her eyes glared up at King, ready to keep David in the fight so he can fight Kaido.

"That's all well and good. But none of you will be reaching Master Kaido." King said.
"I̡s th͘at͝ s͝ơ? Thèn ́I̶ s͘ay ͠br͡ing it̸. ͜I'm ͝r̀e͝a҉dy̵ w͢hen you a͟r͝e!̴" David said as he got his giant blade ready.
"If you think you're so hot, then news flash. Inuarashi and I took out Jack. So you're next!" Rinkah exclaimed, in her battle ready stance.
"Jack…was weaker than both me and that fool Queen." King said.
"And the form I used against him was weaker than this one. Put two and two together, bud. And I'm still not maxed! Far from it!" Rinkah exclaimed.
"We̴ll҉,̷ i̧n th͝a͡t casę… I h͠opé ͏y͘ou͜r̛ fl̀ames ̕a̸re m͘o͏re ͘thán ju͘s͏t for͘ ̡show͏,͢ ̸K҉i̡n̶g." David said, his orbs narrowing. "A͟t̸ l̶e̕ast show̨ ̧s͡ome ͝b̧ac̡k̡bone͟ ̡agai̸ǹst͘ us͢."
Both sides glared as they came at one another.
Back in the Performance Hall, Sanji and others vs Queen…
"Flying Pan!" Queen said, rapidly attacking as the others defended.
"Declare Spell: Guard Sign: Absorbing Reflect!" Allison exclaimed, a massive shield forming over the group that absorbed then sent Queen back with double force.
"Come on…show it to me already! The Germa 66 raid suit. I saw you wear it when facing King earlier." Queen said to Sanji. "It made you disappear. That's Judge's science at work, isn't it?"
"Something is definitely off with my body…" Sanji said.
"I've heard that his body was experimented on, could that be why…" Kohaku said.
"Look! I am not like those bastards. Scratch that…I got nothing to do with them." Sanji said. "Diable Jambe…Bien Cuit…Grill Shot!" Sanji said, landing a kick to Queen's stomach.
"Okay…you know what…let's ditch the gadgets for a moment. Dinosaurs ruled the world 65 million years ago. And I'm gonna show you some dino might!" Queen said as he stood on all fours.
"How about we show you ours?" A voice called as Ace was seen leaping into the air. "Roaring Cartwheel!" he called, slamming his greave's heel onto Queen's head.
"Annoying little!" Queen said as Ace backed off. "Heh…can't even hurt me. Now…like I was saying…time for the Brachiosnakeus!" Queen said, raising his tail as he slapped the wall before his head and tail shot out as he became a snake like dinosaur.
"That… is just weird." Majorita said, looking at Queen.
"We agree on one thing, plip…" Usalia nodded.
"I…don't think Brachiosaurus are supposed do that…" Ethox sweatdropped.
"Get used to it. This is how Brachiosaurus's used to get food on the ground!" Queen said as he coiled around Sanji.
"Sanji!" Ace said.
"We gotta break him out!" Rutega exclaimed.
"Oh…you won't be doing that. My body is already crushing his bones and organs. And for good measure…" Queen said as his left back body produced launchers from the sides. "My leftover weapons there are voice activated. Once I call out Brachio Launchers, they'll blow you all to…" Queen said as the launchers fired on him. "Gah!"
"Huh!?" Rutega exclaimed. "How did that happen…?"
"I was only explaining! You idiots! You're only to use Brachio Launchers like an attack na-" Queen said before he was fired on again.
"Maybe you shouldn't say it at all?" Majorita joked as Usalia laughed.
"Wow, for a scientist, that's not very smart if his launchers do that." Ace sweatdropped.
"Hey…shut up…they're just stupid is all." Queen said.
"I'm sorry…but what are stupid?" Kazuma asked.
"The…oh…I see what you're doing. I'm not gonna say it again." Queen said.
"Say what?" Mari asked.
"But what if you wanna attack us? What would you shout like an epic anime character?" Rutega quipped.
"A bad craftsman blames his tools, Queen." Sachiko said.
"It's Brachio Launchers you…oh god dammit." Queen said as he was blasted again.
"BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA!" Majorita broke out in massive laughter, Usalia only laughing more.
"Hahaha!" Ethox matched their laughter. "Wow, this is fun!"
"Got him." Sachiko said.
"Like I said, not very bright." Ace chuckled a bit.
"Ugh…" Queen said as he let go of Sanji. "Doesn't matter…that boy is as good as dead." he said, slithering back into his body.
"Sanji! Are you…what the…" G. Aqua said as Sanji looked bent in a number of places.
"It's weird… It hurts…but I can still move fine." Sanji said as parts of his body snapped back into place.
"Ugh… Those sounds did not sound comfortable." Sachiko said.
"That's a few seconds I won't get back." Ace said.
"Euuugh…" Usalia winced at hearing the snapping.
"Hold on a minute. That durability, and regeneration." Tanya said. "That's the kind of applications you can only see from Germa Kingdom Technology!"
"Did I…" Sanji said as Queen came swinging with a sword only for the sword to break upon making contact with Sanji.
"Holy crap!" Hisui said.
"Now that's impressive." Majorita said with folded arms.
"Wait, Tanya, if you're saying Sanji has Germa enhancements in him, that's impossible." Sakura said. "Sanji's mother made sure he wasn't among his siblings to get them when she counteracted the surgery with a counter drug."
"Then how do you explain what just happened?" Al asked.
"Seems the drug merely made the gene dormant. Least until he put on the Raid Suit." Yaoyorozu said.
"Well it seems like his empathy and sympathy are still intact at least too." Thorani said.
Sanji, however, wasn't thinking the same way as he thought of his siblings.
"No…I'm not gonna become a monster like them!" Sanji said as he took off running.
"What the? Hey! Show me Germa's technology!" Queen said as he gave chase with the others fighting him not far behind.
"Well, that just happened." Sachiko said.
"You're telling me. And I don't even know what's going on." Rutega stated.
"Sanji's afraid of becoming like his brothers. Judge wanted to make his children into living weapons. He created a procedural experiment that would give them all sorts of superhuman abilities. An indestructible exoskeleton, abnormal regeneration, enhanced strength and…a heart as cold as ice." Titanica said.
"Gosh… that's awful." Rutega stated.
"Yeah. Sounds like he can't die." Majorita grumbled.
"We thought those genes were gone, but looks like we were wrong." Ty said.
"Seems like one cannot escape one's own genetics, no matter who your family is…" Glacius said.
"So do we still have to take out Queen, plip?" Usalia asked.
"The Fatebreakers, Noah and Mio chased after those two, so…I guess things will be okay." Gemini said.
"Yes. They should handle things from here. We have our own work to do." Cheetah said.
"And that is?" Rutega asked.
"Making sure everybody gets outta this raid alive." Catra said.
"We can do that, plip!" Usalia exclaimed.
Majorita smiled. "Just ask the word, I'll reanimate any fallen allies."
"Is there still no sign of Orochi, Cheetah?" Sachiko asked.
"He slipped away after we took out six of his heads. I've also been looking into the rest of the battlefields. The Merc Association and Byleth are facing the Stoic Dragoon. Richard and the three rulers fight Shez. Yuri is in combat with Rugul. Nedris is still somewhere in the castle. Killer, Nesma, Dark Forest and the Adrestian Empire is facing Hawkins. Luffy and Jexi are fighting Kaido and Hope and his allies are facing Big Mom." Cheetah said.
"Yeah, but unfortunately we're not doing so good right now." Hope called in.
"Hope? What's going on?" Ichiro asked.
"Long story short we need backup and FAST! SHOOT, GEINA LOOK OUT!" Siege yelled as the comms cut.
The Second Floor….
Hope and his team were playing defense against Big Mom as Kidd was suffering from all sorts of damage coming from nowhere.
"Geina you alright?" Siege asked as he took a shot from Big Mom for Geina.
"I'm fine… but… do you really need to keep holding back!? We're almost to the end Siege. And we only get as strong as you let us!" Geina exclaimed.
"...Mmm…." Siege considered, looking at the state of the battle.
"Kidd's gotta get back in the fight before we even think of going all out." Hope said.
"Hang in there, guys. I'm on my way." Ace said.
"No Ace, you just got done fighting Perospero, don't push yourself!" Hope said. "I don't want you to get killed by Big Mom."
"In that case, Ramona and I will go. We're on our way." Sectonia said.
"I'm still a bit anxious, but… She's not gonna get the better of me anymore!" Ramona said.
"Hey, mind if I get in on this too? I've got a little payback to dish out myself." Zelos said.
"I shall fight by your side, my prince." Selena said.
"Hope you guys get here soon…." Hope said. "C'mon Kidd, don't let this…"
"Shut up! God damn my head…" Kidd said.
"Have a headache? No worries. I can fix that real quick." Big Mom said raising Napoleon.
"No!" Siege yelled as he blocked the shot again, having been the damage tank for the team, holding Big Mom off yet again as best he could. "Grrrrr….!"
"Siege, dinnae be reckless! Every hit ya take drains yer stamina, and that cuts our time doon!" Nia exclaimed.
"I… still… have a Senzu Bean left… and… have yet to go all out…" Siege grunted as he tried shoving back, to no avail. "Damnit… damnit damnit damnit!"
"Siege! Pull out of there!" Geina called in worry.
"Mama…Raid!" Big Mom said striking at them and sending them all flying back.
"Damn it…headaches now? I just reached one of the four Emperors. If I can't do this…what was the point of my whole pirating career?" Kidd said.
"Nnnh…" Siege groaned as he barely stood again, Geina and the others flickering as Siege's eyes widened. "Guys…!"
"Siege, you can't give out yet! Or we'll give out too!" Geina exclaimed. "We need all we can get against Big Mom. Whether it's good or not you have to get back in and go all out!"
"She's right, boss… you can't hold back like this much more!" Sam exclaimed.
As Siege reached for his last Senzu bean, hope was worried.
"Uh, Mark? Isn't taking too many Senzu Beans dangerous?" Hope asked.
Mark didn't answer Hope, looking at Siege with an unreadable expression before he spoke. "Siege…are you really that dumb?"
"...I'm sorry… what did I just hear you say…!?" Siege exclaimed, sitting up.
"I can tell why you're holding back." Mark said. "Because it'll cause your frikends to disappear faster, right?"
"...You don't even know half of it…" Siege growled. "Yes, they disappear faster, but only after my stamina drains… No… the only reason I'm holding back, this is personal for all of you. Who am I to come in and steal the show with my strength…" Siege coughed. "You guys are the ones who need to land the finishing blows on everyone here!"
"Don't be stupid!" Mark yelled. "You're one of us Siege! Even if you're not actually a member of the Hero Alliance, you're our friend! You're not stealing the show, because we're not doing this for ourselves! We're doing this…to make Luffy's vision of the world a reality! And you deserve to be here just as much as us. Besides…it doesn't matter how powerful you really are; we're gonna stand beside you no matter what! So eat that Senzu bean, give it all you got, and let's take Big Mom down together!"
Hope looked at Mark, and nodded. "He's right, Siege! We need you! I want to defeat Big Mom, but not without help from Mark, from Kidd, from Law…. and from you!"
Siege heard all these words, closing his eyes before he smirked.
(Cue - Push - Original RumbleStep Mix by CDK)
With authority, Siege chomped down the Senzu Bean and kipped up, Yato-Ragnell being teleported away as he cracked his neck.
"Finally. I was hoping I'd get to say this." Siege smirked as he procured one Spell Card… but not from his base form deck. "DECLARE SPELL: ARCANE SIGN: RESTRAINTS UNLEASH!"
With a massive shockwave, power flooded into the friends Siege had summoned, arcane circles forming all around him before collecting onto him and shooting up a powerful beam, for all of Onigashima to see.
With those fighting King…
Rinkah suddenly caught something in her vision, a large beam streaking to the sky as she smirked.
"Finally. Siege finally decided he's put up with this too long." Rinkah laughed.
"Yep! That's the Siege I know!" Allison cheered.
"Siege has had it. Finally." Mythra smirked.
"You got this, Siege!" Pyra yelled.
With those who were about to disperse…
Rutega, Majorita, and Usalia saw the beam as they all smiled.
"Yeaaaah! Siege is about to go super mega badass, plip!" Usalia shrieked.
"About damn time! Kick their ass, leader!" Majorita smiled.
"You get them Siege, get them good!" Rutega laughed
With Hop and Lucia…
The duo saw the beam shooting up and smiled.
"Siege…" Lucia said hopefully. "Win this, Commandant."
"Get those bastards, Siege." Hop smirked.
With Jexi and Luffy and Kaido…
As Jexi, Luffy, and Kaido were starting back up, even they saw the beam of power coursing in the distance.
"Hmmm… so that boy has finally decided not to hold back." Kaido said. "A shame he's not here to help you two."
"So what? We said we're gonna take you down…and we're sticking to it." Jexi said.
"Yeah…we're gonna beat you." Luffy called out.
"Worororororo! Then don't keep me waiting!" Kaido said as the three clashed once more.
On the third floor…
"Come on…stop it…Fwa fwa fwa!" Killer laughed.
"Stop it, Fwa fwa fwa! Look at what that SMILE did to you…nothing but a joke now. Can't even help save your captain." Hawkins said.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that. He's much more resilient than you think." Nesma said as Kareem and Bassam blocked her with their spears.
"My lady, between Orochi, Black Maria, Faerghus and Adrestia, you have used a lot of your strength." Kareem said.
"Yes, you have done well for us. We will handle things here." Bassam said.
"By all means…go right ahead." Hawkins said.
"Good luck you two. I know you can exploit a way out of this." Nesma said.
"In fact…maybe I could use some clearing up in my head." Hawkins said as he slammed his head into a pillar.
"Stop it!" Killer begged.
"(Hmm… Just as we suspected… Killer can't fight him because he has Kidd's life in his hands.)" Bassam thought. "(That is one nasty ability he has. Any damage he takes goes straight to the doll in his hands.)"
"(We need to find a way to remove Kidd's doll from his hands without roughing him up too badly.)" Kareem thought.
"Hawkins… release Kidd." Killer spoke up. "You can take my life in exchange!"
"What? Has he lost his senses?" Ferdinand asked.
"I can gather that Kidd is fighting Big Mom right now, I suspect. To take down an Emperor. He sets his sights so high. Of course…it's useless in the end. The Emperors have ruled these seas and even beyond for so many years. You surely felt it in your core…there is no way to beat them!" Hawkins said.
"Maybe… But it won't stop us from trying." Bassam said.
"You'll just end up dying in the end." Hawkins said. "I made the right choice and went with the future where I would survive. Not committing a suicide run. Oh…why not do that then?" he said, raising his sword and pointing it to his chest.
"Now hold on just one second!" Ferdinand said. "There's two questions that need to be answered, regarding your power. The first one is this. If you take damage without a proper conduit, where does that damage go?"
"Are you dense? I think someone of your standing can figure it out. All the damage I take goes to Kidd. So long as I hold his straw doll within my body…I cannot be harmed." Hawkins said.
"Kidd…Kidd…Kidd…." some of them thought, thinking of Kidd before realizing something.
"Haaa!" Bassam called out as he grabbed his spear and sliced off Hawkin's left arm.
"Ahhhh!" Hawkins cried out in pain. "What is this?! Why didn't…"
"Kidd doesn't have a left arm." Killer said.
"Bassam, how did you…" Aslana started. "Wait… If you and Kareem really are aspects of Anubis, then surely you must have…"
"Indeed. We correctly assumed the exact weak spot in his impenetrable defense." Bassam said as he held Hawkins's severed arm and removed Kidds Straw Doll. "And I can also tell… that this was his last life. Wasn't it, Hawkins?"
"Yes…that's the last one." Hawkins said as he drew a card. "Strawman Card! Death Upright!" he said creating a large creature made of doll holding a scythe. "The card of destruction! This means I can end your miserable lives!"
The giant straw construct laughed as it launched at its targets, a giant scythe at the ready.
"He is all yours, Massacre Soldier." Hubert said.
"My thanks. Beheading Claws!" Killer said, beheading the Strawman as it vanished.
"My Strawman will not be defeated. I hold all the cards! Show me the ending!" Hawkins said, drawing a new card as he looked in shock. "The…the Tower?!" he said.
"Spin and Sonic!" Killer said cutting Hawkins upright as the magician collapsed right there on the ground.
Hubert caught the Tarot Card and looked at it. "Ah yes. The Tower card, in its upright position. It means the collapse of the old and worn. But it has a hidden meaning…a new way forward."
"Yes… The Tower represents necessary destruction leading to rebirth, or strength gained through tragedy." Kareem said. "It can also represent a shakeup to one's belief system that may be difficult to endure at first, but can also change for the better."
"Heh. And we thought you two didn't have any personality besides following her." Roxy said, motioning Nesma.
"We do have personalities. We aren't just mindless guards." Bassam said. "But in any case…" he said, looking at the fallen Hawkins. "Thus ends the journey of "Magican" Basil Hawkins. He lost the game that is known as fate."
"Magician" Basil Hawkins of the Worst Generation: Defeated
Winner: Killer
"Kidd…go and get them…partner…" Killer said.
Elsewhere, Yuri vs Rugul….
"I am impressed you were able to last this long." Rugul said.
"I'm the leader of Abyss. I have to be strong." Yuri said. "You don't really seem so keen on going down so you can be wrested from control."
"Well, in terms of strength, I am equal to Spade. In fact, he and I both served as leaders of the Shadow Knights." Rugul said.
"Is that so? I suppose that I've drawn badly, going against you out of all the Shadow Knights." Yuri said.
"You fought valiantly, but it is time to draw this to a close." Rugul said, raising his blade before a chain wrapped around it.
"Ah ah ah." A voice said as Rugul turned to see it was Ren. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. He's mine." he said with a toothy grin.
"The assassin from Loka. So you came to rescue the leader of the Ashen Wolves." Rugul said.
"Oh but of course. He still owes me a date after all." Ren said.
"Thinking like that now, at a time like this? What kind of professional are you?" Yuri asked, getting up.
"An assassin looking for the one who can sate my appetite." Ren smirked.
"Well said…you've bought me enough time to prepare it." Yuri said as a large circle appeared under Rugul.
"Oh no…" Rugul said.
"Aura!" Yuri called out as Rugul was hit with a massive explosion of light magic as he wavered before collapsing to one knee as his crystal appeared next to him.
"Well done…. My soul is free." Rugul said. "Although, now that I've been defeated, Tormal will most likely order Adrebil, Nedris, and Ajakil to pull back."
"Ajakil won't be…she was freed by a sniper from Dagda." Yuri said. "And your other friend is facing some skilled mercenaries who won't let their target escape."
"But…Tormal…" Rugul said.
"We don't care what he thinks. We have the plan on saving all of Spade's allies…and we'll do that no matter what." Yuri said.
'Hmm. I suppose once your alliance sets their minds to a task, they complete it." Rugul said. "But yes, Tormal isn't the main concern right now. I do recall him holding someone prisoner."
"A hostage? Who?" Ren asked.
"I do not know of her name, other than she is a young woman with a draconic right hand." Rugul said.
Back with the fight against Big Mom, now that Hawkins had been dealt with, Kidd was back in fighting shape as he recovered.
"You seem to be in high spirits, Kidd. What's going on?" Big Mom asked.
"My body feels much lighter." Kidd smoked.
"Great that you're back in the fight Kidd. And not a moment too soon." Hope said, looking to Siege, who had undergone an amazing transformation.
They couldn't see it for the moment, Siege was covered in smoke from the transformation… before two eyes shone through. One blue, one red. In that instance, a flurry of invisible blows hit Big Mom, along with various elemental attacks, ranging from ice, to thunder, to fire, dark, light, wind, you name it, that element was present, before finally what was assumed to be Siege dashed out of the smoke, dashing to the other side of Big Mom with a massive kick, before beginning to pummel her with fists and the elemental balls, as he was moving too fast for anyone to get a look at him, before he suddenly reeled back.
"ARCANE… SHOOOOOORYUUUUUKEN!" Siege yelled as he blasted Big Mom with a massive rising uppercut, complimented with a dragon streak, sending Big Mom up through the ceiling for a moment as everyone could finally see Siege.
The aura around him was magical, a dark purple in color, looking as if it was ki energy. Siege had even changed looks, now dressed in a sleeveless black jacket with golden dragon markings all around it. It was open in the middle, revealing Siege's chest and very toned six pack. He was also wearing red battle pants with black dragon markings on them, complete with golden boots that were under the pants, only allowing the group to see the soles and red dragon markings.

"About time you finally stopped hesitating." Hope said. "Well… now that Siege is finally ready to fight for real, it's time we started getting a little more serious too." Hope said, transforming to Azure God Mode: The Heroic.
"Oh yeah." Mark grinned as he transformed into his Vajra Angel Form, now with six arms, orange lines pulsing across them. "Let's do this! Come on!"
"Aboot time ya stopped sparkin' aroond, Siege! Now we all can really take the fight to the bitch!" Nia smiled, the summoned allies pulsating in greater power.
"I'm sorry it took me all this time you guys." Siege said as he smiled, eyes closed and looking down. "I wanted you guys to have the final say. Hell, you might. I still don't have full control of this form yet. But I'm damn sure ready to put Big Mom SIX FEET UNDER!" Siege yelled heroically.
"Don't worry. There's still a lot more we have to do to break her down." Hope said.
"Ikoku…Sovreignty!" Big Mom called out as everyone was sent out of the tower and into another part of the castle.
"Now…let me show you how you can't be so invincible." Trafalgar Law said. "K-Room. Anasthesia!" he said, coating his sword in a film before stabbing it into her. "Instead of cutting…it creates shockwaves within! Shock Wille!" he said as shockwaves ravaged her insides as she coughed up blood.
"Way to take away the show, Law." Siege deadpanned. "Sheesh, make our transformations look like nothing huh." Siege said as he pulled out a spell. "DECLARE SPELL: SHOCK SIGN: VIOLENT WAVES!" Siege said as his element ball coursed into Big Mom, making the shockwaves even worse.
"It's not over yet!" Hope said as everyone else dove down to the Emperor of Totland. "Do your thing, Kidd!"
"I'll give her a more magnetic personality! Assign!" Kidd said as Napoleon, weapons and the metal beams of the towers all collided into Big Mom as she was buried underneath it. "Punk Clash!"
"Is i' over already?" Nia asked as she saw the attack play out all the way from the trio. "Damn. She really wasn't all tha' tough then."
"I wouldn't say that." Mark said.
The metal beams shook as Big Mom was rising back up as the enemy soldiers looked in shock. "Life…or…Oshiruko!"
"It's the Soul Pocus!" a Waiter realized. "Do we have any Oshiruko left?!"
"We tossed it all!" one of them said.
"Then…your lives are mine!" Big Mom said, pulling out the life span of all the enemy soldiers. "Now…I give you life!" she said, making all the beams and weapons come to life, freeing her personal Soul Weapons.
"Nia, would you like to retract your previous statement?" Hope asked.
"Ahhhh…. Y'know wot, I dinnae wont ye takin' me tae cour' so ye, I retract." Nia gulped.
"Hey, I'm just getting started with this new form. She wants to bolster up, fine by me. I've got plenty left in the tank!" Siege smirked. "And yet to even start with the tricks this form can do!"
"Is that so? Well, let's see how you fare when I strengthen myself… by offering up a year of my own life span!" Big Mom said holding a small sphere as it vanished as she grew bigger as did her new Homies. "I haven't felt pain like this in decades, I think. That's impressive. I'm sure you all came for my throne."
"She would shorten her own lifespan just to gain more power? Is she insane?!" Agursu asked.
"Trust us. Insane doesn't even begin to describe her." Mayumi said.
"So take it from me if you can! Prove you are worthy of being Emperors in your own right! Mamamama!" Big Mom said.
"We're not here to take your throne. We're just here to take you down!" Hope said.
"How many more years do you think you can give up, Big Mom?" Siege asked. "Because the stronger you get, the stronger I'm gonna get." Siege smiled.
"And FYI, there's only one person worthy of taking the throne." Mark said. "It's been said many times over the years, and it'll keep being said until it happens: Monkey D. Luffy…is gonna be King of the Pirates!"
"Can't believe we gotta beat this monster just so I can learn more about history…" Trafalgar Law said.
"We're gonna bring her down…even if it kills us!" Kidd said.
Meanwhile, with Sam…
Sam was seen booking it from the battle scene. He may be a good fighter, but that level of fight was not in his power range.
"Mierde…" Sam huffed as he looked back. "Well, that's it for me then… not much more can be done here it seems." Sam huffed.
"Wait, hold on!" a voice called as a large wolf came running up. "You're Jestream Sam, aren't you? Don't be alarmed! It's me, Yamato! I'm just in my full beast form. I need your help."
"Well, I'm here for Siege and his allies. Besides, you remind me of a close friend." Sam smiled, seeing resemblances of Blade Wolf in Yamato's wolf form as he gave her a head scratch for a bit. "Now then. What do you need?"
"I'm headed towards the armory in this island's basement. If I don't disarm a payload of large bombs there, this island will explode, either due to the fire blazing in the castle, or if it drops on the Flower Capital." Yamato explained, shifting to human form.
"Mierde! Bombs, right under our noses!" Sam exclaimed. "Color me impressed. Alright. I'll help. Unlike the others I suffered minimum damage so my blade arm is yours. And let me tell you, it's one hell of a blade arm." Sam flirted a bit with a wink.
"Alright. We'll have to go another way. The fires seem to have grown more intense somehow." Yamato said.
Meanwhile, in another part of the castle, Cheetah continued to search for Orochi along with some others as she found half of Kin'emon lying on the ground near Kanjuro's fallen body.
"Ugh… What happened with those two?" Rayleigh asked.
"Forsooth…it was Kaido who did…this to me…" Kin'emon said.
"Ah! Zombie!" Piccoletta said.
"No…he's alive but…how?" Travis asked.
"I was bisected by Law on Punk Hazard. My body must not have fit together right. My legs are running somewhere in the castle." Kin'emon said.
"Okay… That is gonna be some weird imagery." Valfor said.
"Well, at least we know you're still alive." Sachiko said.
"Uh…he isn't the only one." Trish said as Kanjuro rose up with his brush as he started painting.
"Everyone, watch out. He's painting something up again." Crusadermon said.
"I've just received… my final orders from Orochi….This will be…the end of the Kurozumi's…and all you pirates and samurai." Kanjuro said as rising up was a shapeless figure cloaked in flames as it passed through the floor, setting anything it passed through ablaze. "This…is the…end." Kanjuro said as he fell.
"That thing is heading down? Why?" Izuku asked.
"Wait…we checked the blueprints…there's a weapons storage in the basement." Travis said.
"Oh, this is bad. If that thing reaches the basement, the whole island would blow up sky high, and everyone in it!" Sachiko said.
"Grr…" Trish growled as she grabbed Kanjuro. "Come on! Call it off!"
"Trish…that ain't gonna change a thing." Scizor said. "He's already dead."
"We have no choice. We have to split up here. One team keeps looking for Orochi while the other tries to stop that creature from reaching the armory." Sachiko said.
"We know where the armory is. We'll lead the blocking team." Trish said.
"I'll go with them as well." Valfor said.
"But dude. The moonlight won't reach you if you're down there." Rayleigh said.
"If we don't, everyone fighting will die. We came to liberate Wano. If Orochi escapes, he'll just keep terrorizing the land." Valfor said.
"Alright. Cheetah, Sachiko. Can you two continue the search for Orochi?" Rayleigh asked.
"Yeah. I know we can. Anyone who wants to come with can come along as well." Sachiko said.
"And this time…make sure he stays dead." Guy said.
"That was never in question." Cheetah said as she pulled her claws out.
