Oven Island!
Katakuri razor-sharp spear, Mogura, pierced through Weevil's thick chest, lifting him high before slamming him violently into the ground!
BOOM!
The earth trembled, dust and debris swirling into the air.
Yamato panted heavily, swinging her twisted iron club—now resembling a braided rope—for what felt like the hundredth time, smashing it brutally against Weevil's massive skull.
Queen had already climbed to the top of the enormous pit—the surface of Oven Island.
Transformed into his Brachiosaurus form, his eyes locked onto Weevil's head below.
Taking a deep breath, Queen suddenly flipped upside down and leaped!
"Brachio Bomber!"
CRASH!
The colossal Brachiosaurus head slammed straight into Weevil's face, driving his entire skull into the ground and sending his body flipping upward.
With a sinister grin, Yamato swung her iron club, now crackling with black-and-red lightning, striking precisely between Weevil's legs.
THUD!
The terrifying force sent Weevil plunging deep underground.
Queen staggered to his feet, dazed and disoriented, reverting to his pudgy, dust-covered human form.
Staring blankly at the gaping hole in the ground, he muttered.
"Is he... dead?"
Yamato, still catching her breath, said nothing.
Katakuri was equally exhausted.
He approached the crater, peering into the darkness before shaking his head.
"Not yet. But his mind is likely in complete chaos. What kind of monster is this body? The hardness, resilience, Armament Haki—all terrifyingly strong. And his regenerative abilities are insane. If he's not an idiot, he'd be a truly fearsome enemy."
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
From within the pit, Weevil's incoherent mumbling echoed once more.
The edges of the crater crumbled as the ground bulged upward—Weevil was forcing his way out, lifting thousands of tons of earth with nothing but his head.
His face was a grotesque mess—both eyes burst into pulp, his nose flattened into his cheeks, smeared with blood and filth.
Blood gushed from every orifice, making him look both horrifying and pitiful.
His mountainous body was now stripped of skin, exposing thick, crimson tendons that coiled like massive pythons around his bones.
Some had been severed, yet they visibly writhed and reconnected, healing at an alarming rate.
Weevil's entire body was a mangled wreck, his manhood obliterated by Yamato's brutal strike.
"Ah... ahhh..." His mouth hung open, emitting meaningless sounds as he lumbered toward Katakuri and the others, guided solely by his overwhelming Observation Haki.
Katakuri tightened his grip on Mogura, muscles bulging in his arm.
RUMBLE!
Unnoticed until now, dark clouds had gathered in the sky, casting a gloomy aura over the battlefield.
The air grew damp and frigid, the temperature plummeting as an icy, soul-piercing chill seeped into their very bones.
This cold wasn't the work of a Devil Fruit—it was pure, unadulterated killing intent!
Katakuri's eyes widened abruptly as he unleashed his Observation Haki to its utmost limit, covering the entire Oven Island, yet he detected nothing.
His ability to foresee the future yielded no results whatsoever.
It was as if this unexplainable, bone-chilling killing intent was something even his Observation Haki dared not touch.
"Not good—Yamato, Queen, we need to leave this island," Katakuri said suddenly, his eyes flickering with unease.
Yamato and Queen froze, turning to look at him.
Yamato asked in surprise. "Aren't you going to kill him? He murdered your brother."
Katakuri gazed at the dark clouds in the sky, his lips trembling as he slowly replied.
"Father... is coming."
Whoosh!
A fierce gale swept across the land, sending loose stones rolling and flying, while vast swathes of earth crumbled away.
A terrifying power extended from the far reaches of the sky.
The surrounding stone walls cracked violently, fissures spreading like spiderwebs.
The very air around them thickened under immense pressure, making even the simplest movement agonizingly difficult.
Whoosh!
A blinding golden light cleaving the sky in two before landing squarely in the center of the pit in an instant.
Katakuri and the other two focused their gaze—there, standing before them, was a towering man.
Queen's face lit up with excitement, about to shout "Caesar-sama!"—but then he saw Caesar, his back turned to them as he raise an arm.
His massive body erupted with a torrent of crimson light, scarlet flames bursting into existence and engulfing him, transforming him into a towering pillar of blood-red fire!
A force capable of shaking the earth, condensed to its absolute peak, was gathering—ready to be unleashed!
Queen trembled uncontrollably, a primal terror gripping his entire being.
"Go! Get off this island!"
Katakuri grabbed the stunned Yamato and roared, kicking off the ground with explosive force, vanishing from the crater in an instant.
"Wait for meeeee!" Queen shrieked, his face drained of color as his rotund body rolled, bounced and scrambled across the ground, sprinting madly towards the island's edge.
Weevil stood unarmed—and so did Caesar.
Weevil, standing at 6.8 meters tall and built like a mountain, still seemed insignificant before Caesar's towering 9.1-meter frame.
"Raaah!!"
Perhaps driven by instinct sensing the overwhelming danger, Weevil charged forward like a maddened beast, swinging a colossal fist straight at Caesar's chest.
BOOM!
The skies roared as the air behind Caesar compressed and exploded in layers, the devastating shockwave instantly collapsing the surrounding stone walls and splitting the earth beneath them with fissures dozens of meters long!
Yet Caesar remained unmoved, standing firm as an unshakable mountain, his expression's cold, his silence was terrifying.
Crack—crack—crack!
Above Caesar's raised fist, the very void split apart, dark fissures hundreds—no, thousands—of meters long tearing through space.
Conqueror's Haki Infusion!
Armament Haki Coating!
His physical prowess had long surpassed all limits—every movement capable of crushing air, tearing through the void itself!
The massive raised fist descended inch by inch, appearing slow yet seemingly piercing through layers of spatial barriers, pressing down with the weight of the entire sky!
Weevil's body stiffened, trembling uncontrollably as he lifted his blood-stained face, as if trying to catch a glimpse of Caesar.
Caesar let out a furious roar, his crimson flames erupting violently.
The purest physical strength exploded forth in this moment, his fist pressing down on Weevil's skull, driving it relentlessly downward.
BOOM!!!
Weevil didn't even let out a sound.
His enormous head shattered inch by inch, disintegrating into the finest particles, turning to dust.
Head, neck, chest, waist, thighs.
Caesar's fist blasted through Weevil from the top of his head, exiting from below, annihilating his massive body in an instant—leaving not a single trace behind.
When the fist finally struck the ground at the center of the crater, it was as if millions of tons of explosives had been detonated.
BOOOOOOM!!!
Massive sections of the bedrock fractured, the void itself shattered and the entire Oven Island trembled violently.
An overwhelming force erupted from beneath Caesar's feet, surging outward in all directions.
BOOM!
Viewed from the outside, the entire Oven Island exploded in seconds.
A colossal mushroom cloud rose into the sky, formed from countless fragments of rock and dust compressed and blasted apart by the sheer force.
Katakuri and the other two clung to the ship's railing as the terrifying shockwave propelled them away.
Their pirate ship hurtled backward at an unprecedented speed, the keel even lifting off the sea surface from the force of the blast.
For hundreds of miles around, monstrous tsunamis surged across the ocean.
The clouds in the sky were swept aside, leaving the skies clear and bright in an instant.
"Gulp." Queen stood dumbfounded, swallowing hard.
Clang.
Yamato's iron club dropped onto the deck, her eyes wide with shock.
"Father..." Katakuri took a deep breath, utterly awestruck.
With a single punch, he shattered an island!
