"Pfft!"

King, who had dived from the sky, seemed to have turned into a black light that went straight for Rorschach. The long sword in his hand slashed down diagonally like a bolt of lightning.

In an instant, a streak of blood appeared on Rorschach's thick neck.

This extremely powerful slash directly plunged the blade of the long sword in King's hand into Rorschach's neck, severing the thick tendons in his neck.

It even cut off half of his windpipe!

Rorschach, who had unleashed his final bit of strength to slay Wang Zhi with a single halberd strike, was now exhausted and on the verge of death.

"Crack!"

Rorschach raised his big hand and firmly grasped the sharp blade before it could completely sever his windpipe.

"Die!!"

King roared wildly. The muscles on his two arms bulged and swelled, bursting his sleeves. He held the long sword and pressed it against Rorschach's neck, wanting to cut off Rorschach's head just as Rorschach had cut off Wang Zhi's.

Thick, blood-red blood gushed out from the thick blood vessels in Rorschach's neck, instantly staining his entire upper body red.

A large amount of blood poured into his throat, blocking his windpipe and preventing him from speaking.

He was being pressed down by King, falling backward toward the ground.

At this moment, the lightning power in his body had already completely dried up, and his stamina was also completely exhausted.

Only the deep-blue Armament Haki was still gushing out continuously, covering all parts of his body.

The Haki, especially in the neck area, was being compressed over and over again.

However, the blade in King's hand was still pressing down little by little.

More blood gushed out from Rorschach's neck.

"Rorschach!"

"Rorschach!"

Garp and Kuzan's voices rang out one after another.

"Get lost! Fat hag!"

Seeing Rorschach's body soaked in blood, Garp's eyes instantly turned red.

He roared. His heavy punch, which was wrapped in top-tier Conqueror's Haki, caused blood to spill from Charlotte Linlin's nose and mouth. The sound of bones cracking came from inside her body, and her obese body staggered backward.

Garp took the opportunity to use Geppo to ascend into the air, shooting like a cannonball toward Rorschach's location.

But at this moment, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of Charlotte Linlin, who was flying backward. She held the huge long sword Napoleon with both hands. The surging flame Prometheus burst into a raging fire on the sword's hilt, and the new thundercloud Hera, burst into a dazzling electric light at the front of the blade. It shot a brilliant beam toward Garp's back, who was rushing through the air.

"Mother's Visit Cannon! Three Thousand Miles!"

"Zzzzt! Boom!"

The brilliant electric light beam instantly crossed a distance of several hundred meters, piercing through Garp's back and exiting through his chest, like a light spear piercing through the sky and going straight into the thousands of meters above.

"Gah!"

Garp, who was in the air, coughed up a large mouthful of blood. His body trembled, and he was sent falling down by Charlotte Linlin's terrifying attack. He landed in the ruins below.

Further away, Akainu, who was fighting Kaido, glanced at Rorschach's side, then turned his head expressionlessly and continued to vent his boundless magma at Kaido.

"Just watch him die! Aokiji! It's a one-for-one trade. We're already making a huge profit by trading his life for Wang Zhi's!"

Katakuri spread his arms. The ground beneath his feet turned into a white sea of mochi. Spinning, whistling doughnuts rose from the ground and flew into the air.

From the holes in the center of each doughnut, giant fists wrapped in pitch-black Haki shot out, raining down on Kuzan.

"Mochi Tsuki!"

Kuzan gritted his teeth, ignoring the giant fists that were smashing down on him. He bent down and pressed his right hand on the ground beneath him.

An extremely cold, super-low-temperature cold current burst out from his body, turning into an energy storm that was similar to external Conqueror's Haki. In an instant, it spread over a radius of a thousand meters, engulfing the entire surrounding battlefield.

"Polar Storm!"

"Crack, crack, crack, crack!"

In a flash, wherever the super-low-temperature storm passed, the ground turned into a pure white glacier, and the air froze, turning into a giant, thousand-meter-diameter ice block.

The hundreds of Haki-wrapped giant fists released by Katakuri were frozen within the thick ice layer, like blooming fireworks.

The Prometheus in front of the retreating Charlotte Linlin was frozen and extinguished. The thundercloud Hera was frozen and imprisoned. Even Charlotte Linlin herself was frozen.

The expression of the hideous-looking King, along with Rorschach who was pressed under him, were all frozen.

Katakuri and Garp were not spared either. They were all frozen by Kuzan's Polar Storm.

Within this thousand-meter-diameter super-giant ice block, only Kuzan was still able to move.

He stood up, walked toward the frozen King. Wherever he passed, the ice layer automatically split open, creating a path.

Feeling the killing intent rapidly approaching him from behind, a raging flame gushed out from King's body, quickly melting the ice layer on his body.

A long and narrow ice saber condensed in Kuzan's hand. He swung it and slashed at King's neck.

"Hmph!"

Flames gushed out and swelled from King's body. The flames behind his head also swelled and burned fiercely. He let out a roar, intending to pull out the long sword that had been plunged into Rorschach's neck and meet the attacking Kuzan.

However, the next instant, a look of shock appeared on King's face.

He looked down at his long sword and saw Rorschach, who was lying face up on the ground with his body stained red with blood, smiling at him.

"Your sword… has been confiscated."

Rorschach, who had reverted to his human form, was firmly clutching the blade of King's long sword with his right hand. He didn't let go, even as the sharp blade cut into his palm and rested against the bones of his hand.

"You…!"

King's eyes widened. His heart was shaken.

A strong wind howled from behind. The two black wings on King's back burned with raging flames. He spread them out with a whoosh, covering his body. At the same time, he rose up with a whoosh, trying to dodge.

The next instant, a Haki-wrapped ice saber came at him horizontally. It broke through his black wings that were covering his body like a hot knife through butter and slashed at King's neck.

"Clang!"

King, whose head flames were flaring, had a defense that could rival Charlotte Linlin's Iron Balloon. This was the racial talent of his Lunarian race.

But at this moment, he truly heard a crisp cracking sound coming from his neck bone, as if his spine was about to break the next second.

He tilted his head to the side. His entire body was sent flying by the ice saber in Kuzan's hand. In a series of ice-shattering sounds, he crashed through the thick ice layer and was sent flying.

King's neck was ultimately not severed by Kuzan's single slash. He clutched his neck, gritted his teeth, and flapped his partially missing black wings, shakily flying into the air.

But at this moment, a golden beam of light shot straight down from the sky, piercing through his other wing. King, who had just flown into the air, fell back down with a thud.

"Rorschach, are you alright?"

Kuzan ignored the fallen King. He bent down and looked at Rorschach, whose neck was still embedded with a long sword. He was filled with worry.

Rorschach moved his lips and with some difficulty, he spat out three words.

"I'm not… dead…"

As he spoke, to Kuzan's horror, Rorschach grabbed the sharp blade that was half-plunged into his neck and pushed it outward.

"Pfft!"

The V-shaped blade flew out from his neck and landed with a clang on the ground beside him.

Instantly, thick, crimson blood shot out from the wound on Rorschach's neck like a high-pressure water hose.

Kuzan was so scared that he reached out, wanting to freeze Rorschach's wound.

But before his hand could get close, the muscles and blood vessels in Rorschach's neck automatically and rapidly squirmed. The muscles squeezed together, forcibly stopping the gushing blood.

This was the perfect control over his body that Life Return gave him.

At the same time, his deep-blue Armament Haki spread out, helping him to fix and wrap the wound.

However, the palm of his right hand had also been cut open horizontally by the blade, with the wound so deep that the bone was visible.

Rorschach sat up. Just as he was about to forcefully stimulate his muscles to grow and heal the wound on his palm, his body swayed again, and he fell back down with a bang.

Kuzan was startled.

But when he saw that Rorschach's chest was still rising and falling, and in his perception with Observation Haki, Rorschach's presence, though much weaker, showed no signs of continuing to weaken, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Rorschach was completely exhausted due to excessive blood loss.

Kuzan took a deep breath. He waved his hand and created an extremely compressed ice shield around Rorschach's body. Then he turned and walked toward Katakuri, who had already broken free from the ice.

"Rorschach, you rest well. We'll take it from here."

Outside the ice, King, who had injured both his wings, had turned back into his Pteranodon form and flew into the sky.

Kuzan looked at the battlefield on the other side, sensing the tragic battle over there. He frowned, and his heart sank.

The war on G-1 Island had killed too many people by now.

Many of the faces were familiar to him from the headquarters.

But now, those lively, energetic lives were one after another, fearlessly rushing toward the pirates, exposing their chests with the most heroic posture to meet the swords and sabers of their enemies.

Perhaps before this, some of them had not joined for the sake of justice.

Some may have been for power, for money, some to save their village from having to pay taxes, and some were to allow their families to live in Marineford, free from pirate attacks.

But at this moment, on this island of G-1, these Marine soldiers were undoubtedly upholding justice.

Kuzan saw that their justice was burning along with the blood they shed!

"Rumble!"

A heaven-and-earth-shaking buzz came from the sky. The heavens and earth over a radius of several hundred kilometers above the entire island were trembling. The air was being squeezed downward by an immense force, creating a monstrous storm over G-1 Island that sent countless pirates who had rushed onto the island tumbling.

A huge black shadow was cast down from the sky, covering G-1, engulfing the armies of both sides and covering the gradually brightening sky.

The Marine officers led by Gion were still furiously slaying the pirates in front of them, as if they hadn't noticed.

But the numerous pirates all opened their mouths wide, their faces filled with horror as they looked up at the sky.

In their sight, a black dot rapidly grew bigger, instantly becoming the size of a house, then the size of a Sea King, and finally, it covered the sky, covering half of G-1's sky. It made a rumbling, whistling sound as it descended.

"An… an… an island!"

"An island is falling from the sky!"

Garp broke free from the ice and walked out. He looked up at the sky, his face extremely grim.

"That bastard Shiki, doesn't he care about his own people? He's actually throwing a Sky Island down. Where is Borsalino? Didn't I tell him to lure that guy whose brain was messed up by a ship's rudder to another place?"

As he spoke, a golden light descended from the sky and landed with a whoosh in front of them. It was Kizaru.

"This is troublesome now. That old man has gone mad."

"It's impossible to shatter the entire island. We can only try our best to prevent the island from hitting the Marine soldiers." Kuzan clenched his fists.

Garp shook his head, his expression filled with sorrow. "It's useless. With an island this big, even if it doesn't hit them directly, the shockwave from the impact alone will be enough to kill all the wounded soldiers on G-1 Island."

"Damn you, Shiki! Are you trying to kill everyone?! You bastard!" Charlotte Linlin cursed loudly at the sky, while signaling Katakuri to get out of the island's range.

Just then, a sharp whistling sound came from the distance, causing everyone to look up.

Garp's tightly knitted brows relaxed. "They're finally here."

Kizaru and Aokiji also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since they're all here, let's go together! Let's shatter the island!"

After Garp finished speaking, he immediately took the lead and rushed into the sky using Geppo.

Kizaru and Aokiji followed closely behind.

In the distance, in a high-speed flying bear paw-shaped air shield, three burly men stood.

An old man with purple hair and a huge mechanical arm, an old man with an afro and round glasses, and a giant man with a body as big as a mountain.

They were Zephyr, Sengoku, and Bartholomew Kuma!

Looking at the huge island falling from the sky in front of them, which was about to crash onto the island below, both Sengoku and Zephyr's faces were grim.

"Kuma, go over there and shatter the island!" Sengoku said in a low voice.

Kuma took off the gloves he was wearing and slapped the air with his paw-padded hand.

In an instant, the air shield he had slapped turned sharply, and its speed increased again, quickly approaching the falling island.

"Sengoku! Don't hold back! Give it your all!" Zephyr shouted loudly. His body suddenly swelled up. His skin was hot and red, and hot steam was gushing out from him. He dragged his heavy mechanical arm and rushed out of the air shield with a bang, charging toward the giant island in front of him like a shooting star. He swung his fist as the pitch-black Armament Haki flowed and expanded on his heavy mechanical arm.

"Smash Blaster!"

On Sengoku's body, a brilliant golden light hummed.

His body continuously swelled and grew. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a giant golden Buddha that was entirely golden, as if it were cast from gold.

On his high-raised golden hand, strands of black and red lightning were continuously being vented and released, spreading out like a dense spider web in the sky.

"Haki Coated! Buddha's Impact!"

Kuma, who was right behind him, spread his hands. The air within a radius of a thousand meters was madly compressed between his two bear paws, quickly shrinking to the size of a fist. He then sent it flying with a slap, shooting it toward the island in front of him.

"Ursus Shock!"

At the same time, Garp, Kizaru, and Aokiji, who had rushed up from below, also launched a single attack at the island that was covering them from above.

"Fist of Justice! Galaxy Impact!"

"Yasaka Magatama!"

"Fist of Justice! Meteorite!"
