"RAIMEI HAKKE!!!"
Both Yamato from two years ago and Yamato from two years later shouted in unison.
It was the perfected technique they learned from their bastard father, Kaido.
Two Raimei Hakke attacks—stacked together!
A total of sixteen Thunder Strikes!
The impact slammed into Ulti's steel-hard forehead, her pride and strongest defense.
Boom!
With just one blow, even Ulti's famously thick skull couldn't hold.
Blood splattered into the air!
She didn't even have time to register what happened.
A second later, her wild eyes rolled back into whiteness.
And as both Yamatos landed back on the ground—
Her massive body collapsed like a falling mountain.
Completely unconscious.
Not dead, but without a full 24-hour recovery, there was no way she'd wake up.
A brief silence followed.
Huaaaa!!!
The Beast Pirates erupted in shock.
Not just because Ulti had fallen…
But because of the two people standing at the center of it all.
"Wait, is that... Young Master Yamato?"
"No doubt! That's really him!"
"Then why did he attack Lady Ulti?!"
"Hold up… The real question is… WHY ARE THERE TWO YAMATOS?!"
"What the hell is going on?!"
"How can there be two of them?!"
The Beast Pirates roared with disbelief.
Meanwhile, Luffy was chomping on rice, unfazed.
"Haha, Yamato, you finally found yourself, huh?"
"Geez, Luffy, quit wandering off!"
The Yamato from two years later placed her hands on her hips, visibly exasperated.
"That's Ace's little brother? The Luffy from two years in the future?"
The younger Yamato blinked her wide eyes, staring at goofy-looking Luffy with curiosity.
She couldn't help but wonder: Could this "tiny shrimp" really be the one who defeated that bastard Kaido?
"Sorry, sorry—I was just SO hungry. I smelled meat, and before I knew it, my body just… moved!"
Luffy scratched his head with an embarrassed grin.
With his rubber body, Luffy could survive crazy beatdowns, but he always needed mountains of food to stay fueled.
Especially after the fight with Kaido—his hardest battle ever.
He'd been unconscious the whole time after winning.
Then he woke up, and got pulled straight into this world...
He hadn't even eaten yet!
So once he caught a whiff of barbecue in the city?
All self-control vanished.
"Alright then. You full now?" asked future Yamato.
"Yeah, pretty much. I'm like… 60% stuffed."
Luffy nodded.
The Beast Pirates: "???"
WTF?!
You just devoured enough food for a hundred people and you're only "kinda full"?!
Even the two Yamatos were left speechless.
"Don't be fooled by how much he eats—Luffy's strength is the real deal. He can help with removing those cuffs."
Future Yamato smiled confidently.
"Okay then."
Past Yamato stepped forward, still a bit unsure, and held out her shackled wrists.
"Wait a sec."
Luffy chomped down the last few meaty bones.
Then, casually raised his hands and tapped the cuffs.
A surge of Armament Haki rippled visibly from his fingers.
It flowed into the cuffs, tearing apart their internal structure.
A few moments later—
Crack!
The handcuffs shattered and flew off.
BOOM!
They exploded midair in two mushroom-shaped fireballs.
"Waaahhh! That bastard Kaido was REALLY trying to blow me up?!"
Past Yamato turned pale and instinctively clung to her future self for comfort.
"There, there. You'll get used to it."
Future Yamato patted her gently.
"Holy crap!"
"Unbelievable!"
"That kid just broke Young Master Yamato's cuffs… with his bare hands?!"
"What kind of monster is he?!"
The Beast Pirates couldn't believe their eyes.
"Alright Luffy, let's go. This place is too dangerous for now."
Future Yamato urged.
"Wait a sec."
Luffy turned back toward the kitchen.
His rubber arms stretched and scooped up all the food in the kitchen, tying it up in bundles on his back.
Only then did he grin with satisfaction.
"Okay, now we can go!"
Luffy waved to the two Yamatos.
---
Suddenly—
"Hey! What the hell is going on here?! Sis?! Sis—what happened to you?!"
A thunderous roar of fury rang out.
"Lord Page One!"
"Actually, it's…"
The Beast Pirates didn't have time to explain.
Page One's sharp eyes swept across the battlefield—
And then narrowed in shock.
"Yamato… There are TWO of them?!"
His gaze quickly shifted to the unfamiliar Luffy.
"So that's it. Forget Yamato for now—you're the intruder, Straw Hat!"
ROAR!!!
The prehistoric dinosaur's cry echoed.
Page One activated his Zoan-type Ryu Ryu no Mi: Spinosaurus form.
A towering 15-meter dino emerged.
With a single step, he cracked the ground beneath him.
"I'm going to bite your head off and avenge my sister!"
Page One snarled, jaws wide open, lunging toward Luffy.
"Not good!"
Past Yamato's face changed, ready to help.
"Trust him."
Future Yamato remained calm, smiling.
"Sorry, but I'm in a bit of a rush today. I don't have time to play."
Luffy clenched his fist.
"You so scared you can't even move? Then just di—"
POW!!!
Before Page One could finish speaking—
Luffy disappeared from sight.
Then reappeared directly under his chin.
BOOM!
Luffy's fist smashed upward.
Thunder crackled around it.
Haoshoku Haki infused!!!
With just one punch—
Page One's jaw contorted grotesquely.
The sound of bones and teeth shattering echoed out.
BOOOOM!
A monstrous crash!
The ultra-durable dinosaur, Page One, known for his endurance, was instantly KO'd and unconscious.
"No one's blocking the way now."
Luffy dusted off his hands and ran forward.
