The King's Haki, at the level of a Yonko, shocked everyone in Onigashima. The oppressive presence could be felt in every corner of the island, and all who sensed it knew the danger it carried.

"Who is this?"
Many members of the Straw Hat fleet felt the weight of that presence and were alarmed, though they didn't know the source of the haki.

"This haki… it reminds me of that guy from the prison…"

In the upper halls, amidst the wreckage of destroyed rooms, Zoro stood over his fallen opponent, King, who lay on the floor in his pteranodon form. He was badly injured, struggling to rise, his teeth clenched. The swordsman before him was truly powerful.

Yet Zoro wasn't even paying attention to him. His gaze was fixed on the sky, his eyes narrowing as he muttered with curiosity. The aura of Bullet was etched into that haki. It was unmistakable.
Even Zoro, who had been alongside Luffy at the sixth level of the prison, recognized that menacing presence.

As their captain had mentioned before — he wanted to face Bullet, a legend from the past. It was no surprise that Bullet's presence now struck fear into so many. He had arrived, ready to wage war against their captain.

"Bullet… You're alive, you bastard… And you're here!"

On the rooftop, Big Mom growled, momentarily ignoring her two opponents, Yamato and Lucy. Her expression shifted to something more cautious, even for someone like her.

That man was known as a "monster" within the crew of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger.
And for good reason. He was someone everyone needed to be extremely wary of.
This Yonko battle had just escalated to another level.

The same thought crossed the minds of both women. Lucy and Yamato exchanged glances for a moment. They knew who he was, recalling the chaos of Impel Down, just like Zoro.

Bullet continued releasing his haki across the area, an overwhelming wave that made the air itself vibrate. Suddenly, he stopped the pressure, completely ignoring Big Mom. His eyes turned skyward, waiting for his true opponent to finally come and face him.

Above, in the sky, Kaido and Luffy were also watching the scene unfold below.

Luffy sighed lightly, while Kaido, beside him, seemed lost in thought, observing the situation.

"This guy is here to interfere with my fight…" Kaido muttered, but suddenly he felt something strange.

The great dragon, feared by all, found himself frozen, paralyzed by something he couldn't comprehend.

"I'm… frozen…"
Kaido was stunned. He could feel his body immobilized, and he only knew it because his haki warned him. He couldn’t even perceive what was happening, his view of the world completely frozen.

In disbelief, Kaido struggled to free himself. As soon as he regained control over his body, he realized that Luffy was no longer in front of him.

Suddenly, Kaido felt his tail being grabbed by burning hands.

"What?!"

Before he could react, Luffy, in his Ifrit form, had seized Kaido’s tail and began to spin him through the air. The great dragon was pulled violently, swirling repeatedly through the sky.

"You’re not getting away from this, Kaido!" Luffy declared.

In the midst of the spin, Luffy hurled Kaido straight toward the ground of Onigashima.
The force behind it was immense, making Kaido resemble a meteor surrounded by purple flames, hurtling toward the island at incredible speed, unable to react.

The fighters on the rooftop of Onigashima — Big Mom, Yamato, and Lucy, along with Bullet observing from a corner — witnessed the impending impact and quickly braced themselves for the worst.

"Brace yourselves!" Yamato shouted.

The impact was devastating.

Kaido collided with the rooftop, causing an explosion so massive that it lit up the night sky.
The entire roof of Onigashima trembled and cracked, making the floating island shake violently before it began to descend once again.

The explosion’s intensity sent purple flames shooting into the sky, illuminating the skies of Wano far and wide.

The force of the impact was so great that the island began to collide with Kaido’s clouds, pushing Onigashima back toward the sea.

“Onigashima is falling!” some of the pirates screamed, desperate.

It didn’t take long for the entire island to crash into the sea again, creating enormous waves that pushed all the docked ships and smaller islands in the fleet back into the ocean. The massive impact stirred the waters, sending shockwaves through the surrounding seas.

“What’s happening now?!”
Inside the corridors of Onigashima, many pirates and warriors asked the same question, struggling to stand after being thrown around by the impact.

“Lami…”
Luffy’s voice suddenly echoed through the Den Den Mushi of the crew.

Lami, who was in the middle of fighting Katakuri, glanced toward the Den Den Mushi.
“Luffy?” she murmured.

“I want you to bring me in front of Bullet. And put Lucy to fight Kaido.”
Luffy’s command was clear.

Without hesitation, Lami activated her Ope Ope no Mi ability. With her haki, she sensed every presence on the rooftop of Onigashima and made the necessary changes immediately, as her Devil Fruit’s range once again covered the entire island.

Lucy vanished without warning and reappeared right in front of Luffy.
“Hmm?” She was a bit confused as she met her brother’s gaze.

“Listen, Lucy. I want you to fight Kaido. I’ll handle Bullet. And you too, Yamato — fight Big Mom and win!”
Luffy’s voice was loud and commanding.

Yamato nodded at his words. Even though she couldn’t see clearly due to the cloud of smoke created by Kaido’s body crashing into Onigashima, she knew Big Mom was right in front of her.

As for Luffy, before his sister could say anything, he disappeared from Lucy’s side and reappeared amidst the chaos elsewhere on the rooftop. The entire area was blanketed in the same thick dust cloud. Despite the obscured view, Bullet’s presence was unmistakable.

He stood there, arms crossed, a satisfied expression on his face as he watched Luffy appear as if through teleportation.

Luffy, now back in his human form, locked eyes with his adversary, his expression serious.

“It’s good to see you’re finally here, brat. I thought the boy who challenged me back in Impel Down had chickened out after all that talk,”
Bullet spoke calmly, his tone laced with provocation.

Luffy stared at him without wavering.
“I’ll admit… I never imagined I’d run into you here. But it doesn’t matter. If we’re going to fight, then let’s finish this.”

“That’s what I like to hear. After all, I’ve been waiting for this moment for a year.”
Bullet pointed at Luffy’s Straw Hat, a mocking grin on his face.
“I want to see if you’re truly worthy of that hat.”

Luffy’s gaze didn’t falter.
“Well… This hat won’t belong to me forever. But I will be the man who finds the One Piece left by Roger.”

Bullet raised his chin slightly and gave a disdainful smile.
“And what if I told you I know where the One Piece is? Would you want me to tell you… if you manage to beat me?”

Luffy didn’t hesitate. He shook his head firmly.
“No. I’ll find it myself. I won’t need any shortcuts.”

Bullet’s smile widened slightly.
“Good to hear that. Maybe you’re not so bad after all…”
He took a step forward, his presence growing heavier.
“Now, let’s see if you really have the strength to back it up.”

In the next moment, without a second thought, an explosion of Haki erupted from both sides. The two immense energies clashed with a force far more violent than anything seen before, creating a shockwave that cleared all the dust around them. The sky above Onigashima shone intensely from the confrontation, and the entire island trembled once more from the sheer power of the two warriors.

On one side, Yamato and Big Mom watched the chaos unfold, their eyes locked on the battle taking place. The wind howled, whipping through their hair as they stood ready for anything.

On the other side, Lucy gazed toward her brother.
Kaido lay buried in the ground, now in his hybrid form, visibly frustrated.

Kaido clenched his teeth, slowly rising to his feet. There was a pained expression on his face. He spat blood, trying to make sense of what had just happened.

“This kid… He hurt me…” Kaido muttered, placing a hand on his chest. Blood dripped from his mouth, evidence of an internal injury.

He stood in silence for a moment, trying to process it. His mind raced with questions, but one thought echoed louder than the rest.
‘I froze… Suddenly, I couldn’t move… What did he do?’

Kaido knew Luffy had two Akuma no Mi: the Moa Moa no Mi, which could multiply, and the mythical Ifrit fruit. But the ability Luffy had just used baffled him.

Kaido had no idea that Luffy possessed the ability to manipulate time — something he would have deemed absurd if he knew. But his ignorance made him even more frustrated. He realized that if Luffy could approach him undetected, without giving him time to react, things would get dangerous.

Kaido clenched his fists, his frustration mounting as he glanced toward the explosive battle happening in the distance between Luffy and Bullet.
That frustration quickly turned into anger.

“That brat… He abandoned me to fight someone else.”
Kaido’s blood boiled with rage. To him, it was an insult.

His gaze shifted to Lucy, who stood watching the battle from afar. Slowly, Lucy turned her eyes toward Kaido, locking her gaze on her new opponent.

“You’re going to fight me, brat?” Kaido commented, his tone dismissive. He didn’t know much about Lucy’s strength, but he knew she had fought Big Mom alongside Yamato, and now Yamato was battling the old hag on her own.

“Yes. I’ll fight you in Luffy’s place,” Lucy replied, stepping into her normal combat stance.

“Fine, then. I’ll finish you off first… then I’ll go after your brother!”
Kaido growled, lifting his massive Kanabo, now crackling with purple thunder Haki. Without hesitation, he charged at Lucy with incredible speed.

Lucy didn’t back down. Instead, she coated her fist with Conqueror’s Haki and swung it toward Kaido’s Kanabo.

When their attacks collided, there was a massive Haki explosion, shaking the entire area violently.

Meanwhile, Big Mom charged at Yamato with fury.

“You think you can defeat me on your own? You arrogant brat!”
Big Mom roared, her voice booming across the battlefield.

"I will finish you, Big Mom!" Yamato responded firmly.

Both weapons — Yamato’s Kanabo and Big Mom’s sword — clashed, each infused with Conqueror’s Haki, creating another devastating explosion. The shockwaves from their clash spread across the rooftop of Onigashima, shaking the entire island.

The rooftop had transformed into a three-front battlefield, with six Yonko-level warriors fighting simultaneously. It was an unprecedented sight.

The entire island trembled from the ongoing battles.
Down below, people on the lower floors of Onigashima rushed toward the upper levels, desperately trying to escape the chaos as the strongest warriors continued their fierce clashes.

In the shadows, several CP0 agents, their faces hidden behind masks, moved discreetly through the island.

"This confirms our fears. They’re fighting each other," one of the agents commented.

"Yes… And it looks like the battle has become even more intense. But who is that other person up there?"
Another agent asked, referring to Douglas Bullet’s presence on the rooftop.

The agents didn’t immediately recognize Bullet, but they knew an extremely powerful figure was also present.

"Quick! Report what’s happening. We’ve lost contact with the ships stationed outside of Wano," one of the agents instructed.
"Something tells me it was that man who destroyed them. He appeared out of nowhere… coming from the sky."

The agents began transmitting the information through their Den Den Mushi, updating their superiors on the situation.

"Understood. There are only a few people who can fight at that level. But that doesn’t matter right now."
The voice of Saturn, one of the Gorosei, came from the other end of the transmission.
"Our main forces are almost there. Once we arrive, we’ll destroy all of them."

"Yes, sir!" the agents responded in unison.

"Keep monitoring. Track the status of the fight and keep us updated," Saturn ordered.
"If possible, eliminate the targets before our forces arrive."

"Understood!" The agents ended the transmission.

The masked leader of CP0 turned to his fellow agents.
"Let’s move. We need to eliminate the targets before the main forces arrive," he said with authority.

"Even if it results in our deaths?" one of the agents questioned.

"Yes," the leader confirmed without hesitation.
"We still have to fulfill our mission."

The agents nodded silently, accepting the risk without complaint. They moved swiftly through the shadows of the island, focused entirely on their mission.

They had two primary targets.

The first was Monkey D. Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.
That wasn’t a surprise.

But the second target was Monkey D. Lucy — someone the World Government considered just as dangerous, especially due to her connection to a Devil Fruit linked to Nika.

"These two must be eliminated… at any cost."
