One Piece : Glory To The Fleet Admiral

Meanwhile, Whole Cake Island

"BOOOOM—"

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out.

Charlotte Linlin, who had stormed out of Whole Cake Island, caught Kuzan and the others off guard as they prepared to land.

With an overwhelming aura of dominance, she appeared above Sakazuki head, her sword Napoleon descending with a fierce slash aimed directly at his head.

Facing Charlotte Linlin attack, Sakazuki, who had chosen to remain on the prison ship seemed to have anticipated it.

His Magma-Magma Fruit ability erupted instantly, and his magma-coated fist shot upward.

The moment their attacks collided, Sakazuki felt an immense pressure bearing down on him.

In the next second, he was sent flying uncontrollably toward the sea.

At the same time.

On the prison ship, the massive cage holding Kaido disintegrated under the force of the violent shockwave.

The seastone chains and shackles binding him were shattered by the surge of overwhelming energy.

With a clattering sound, the seastone chains and shackles fell away from Kaido body.

Then—

"WORORORORO—"

A rough, booming laugh echoed as Kaido, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up raising the spiked club he had somehow grabbed in his hand.

"Linlin!"

"I owe you another huge favor!"

"Enough talk!" Charlotte Linlin floated down onto the prison ship, standing shoulder to shoulder with Kaido.

She raised her weapon, Napoleon, exuding an overwhelming aura of dominance.

"Do you remember our combo move?"

"Of course!"

Kaido frantically channeled the energy within his body, unleashing a terrifying pressure that surged outward.

Sensing the Conqueror's Haki released by Charlotte Linlin, his eyes sharpened and he roared.

"SAKAZUKI, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

Buzz—

Just as Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were about to unleash their devastating combo attack, a disorienting sound suddenly rang out.

Immediately after, a low-frequency vibration appeared in the air without warning.

Before the two could react, a black dot flashed across the sky, rapidly expanding in their vision.

It was none other than the black blade, Yoru, which had been thrown from the warship by Orion.

In the next moment, two towering waves rose from the sea in front of them and Yoru, wrapped in the pinnacle of Conqueror's Haki, shot out from the surging waves, instantly filling Kaido vision.

A faint sound of flesh being pierced echoed.

The black blade, which had split the seawater wherever it passed moved at a speed invisible to the naked eye, instantly piercing through Kaido body just as he raised his kanabo, ready to strike.

In the next second, Kaido was swept up by the terrifying shockwave carried by the black blade, hurled like a massive bomb and crashing into the grand cake castle on Whole Cake Island.

As the thick smoke cleared, a visually stunning scene unfolded before everyone present.

The massive figure of Kaido, his eyes wide open, was pinned to the castle by the black blade.

The blood pouring down drenched the members of the Charlotte family standing at the castle gates, turning them into blood-soaked figures as if they had been caught in a downpour.

"Where did that black blade come from?"

"Kaido pinned to the castle? How is that possible!"

"Why does the hilt of that blade look so familiar!"

"The world strongest black blade, Yoru!"

"Damn it, it's Mihawk sword!"

On Whole Cake Island, the members of the Charlotte family and their affiliated forces were utterly shocked by the sudden turn of events.

Recognizing the hilt of the black blade that pinned Kaido to the castle as that of the world strongest black blade, Yoru, many were both stunned and incredulous.

Even if Mihawk was the world greatest swordsman, it was impossible for him to take down Kaido without even showing himself, let alone pin him to the castle.

"It's not Mihawk!"

At the port, Katakuri, standing alongside Smoothie and Cracker turned to look toward the castle, his expression grave.

"It's the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Orion!"

As a core member of the Charlotte family, even though he had never crossed blades with Mihawk, Katakuri was certain that Mihawk strength alone could never achieve such a feat.

After all, the one pinned to the castle was Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

Even if Kaido was severely exhausted and injured after his battle with Sakazuki, he couldn't be taken down by a casually thrown blade from Mihawk!

If it wasn't Mihawk, then there was only one answer.

The iron-willed Fleet Admiral of the Marines had arrived.

Sure enough, as soon as Mihawk name was mentioned, an unidentified flying object suddenly appeared in the sky above the sea.

Before the people at the harbor could react, a figure suddenly flashed from the unidentified flying object and under the gaze of everyone, plunged headfirst into the sea.

After a brief two seconds, the sea surface exploded with a deafening roar.

Immediately after, two figures shot into the sky, drawing an arc in the air before landing steadily on the frozen sea surface created by Kuzan.

They were none other than Sakazuki, who had been caught off guard and sent flying into the sea by Charlotte Linlin and Orion clad in the Marine Fleet Admiral coat.

"Hum—"

As soon as he landed on the ice, Orion took a step forward and an overwhelming Conqueror's Haki burst forth, instantly drying the clothes on both him and Sakazuki.

"Fleet Admiral Orion—"

Sakazuki clearly hadn't expected Orion to be the one to rescue him from the sea.

Watching the young figure who had pulled him from the depths and immediately released Conqueror's Haki to dry the seawater from his body, the hardened Admiral of the Marine lowered his head in shame, his eyes involuntarily reddening.

For the Fleet Admiral of the Marines to personally rush to the battlefield to save a fallen Admiral was an unprecedented event in the history of the Marine. This finally made him understand why, when Orion initiated the coup, so many soldiers and officers stood behind him.

It wasn't because Orion had given them too much in the past, but because Orion had done everything in his power to protect them.

At this moment, Sakazuki finally understood the weight of Orion words to him.

"You won't, and no longer will be, alone."

You see, from the moment he entered the Marine Headquarters to becoming an Admiral, no matter how powerful the enemy he faced, he had always fought alone.

It seemed as though it was only natural, because he was Sakazuki.

Because from the moment he joined the Marines, his immense strength earned him the title of "Monster."

Coupled with his ruthless approach to evil and his extreme methods of eliminating enemies, even his subordinates feared him.

Gradually, he grew accustomed to being alone, as he believed it was how things should be.

Unbeknownst to him, deep down he also longed for comrades, for someone to fight alongside him.

As Sakazuki stood there in a daze, Orion raised his hand and patted his arm, smiling as he said.

"Sakazuki, Its me!"

Before the words even finished, Orion suddenly turned and took a step forward, his domineering and sharp gaze sweeping toward the prison ship.

"Who was it that just tried to kill my Admiral?"

"Step forward!"
