One Piece: I will become stronger by checking in

The moment the two attacks clashed, a powerful shockwave erupted, shaking the battlefield.

Garp's face flushed as he gritted his teeth, bracing against the impact. He was utterly shocked. Aokiji had mentioned Kai's devastating move before, but experiencing it firsthand was another matter entirely—it was stronger than anything Garp had anticipated, so much so that it surpassed his limits.

Garp let out a fierce roar, trying to overpower Kai's overwhelming assault. Yet, no matter how hard he pushed back, the attacks kept closing in, leaving him with no room to breathe.

At the crucial moment, Aokiji and Kuma arrived just in time. Without hesitation, they unleashed their strongest attacks, combining their strength to counter Kai's devastating blow.

After a grueling effort, the combined force of the three finally dissipated Kai's destructive wave. But the toll it took on them was evident—they were left drained, panting heavily, and vulnerable.

Kai, narrowing his eyes, seized the opportunity. Without giving the trio a chance to recover, he launched himself forward, raining down a relentless barrage of attacks. Exhausted and unable to keep up, Garp, Aokiji, and Kuma were overpowered. Each blow sent them hurtling like meteors into the ice below, carving massive craters and scattering shards in every direction.

Meanwhile, the surviving members of CP0 who had barely climbed out of the sea froze in terror at the sight before them. Their confidence from earlier was replaced with pure dread. They had underestimated Kai—a mistake they would regret deeply.

Kai turned his gaze toward the battered CP0 agents, his smirk filled with menace. As his eyes locked on them, a primal fear gripped their hearts, their sweat soaking through their clothes.

Just as Kai was about to finish them off, an arrogant voice rang out, cutting through the tension.

"Hey, you up there! What are you doing? Planning to attack my people? Do you believe I won't have your entire family killed?"

"Huh?" Kai's gaze snapped to the source, his expression darkening as a chilling aura radiated from him.

The voice belonged to a man with a shrunken head tucked into a hood, his face adorned with a perpetual trail of snot. It was Saint Charlos, a detestable Celestial Dragon, flanked by two CP0 agents in white suits.

Kai's eyes glinted with murderous intent. His lips curled into a mocking grin as he sneered, "A Celestial Dragon dares to show up here? Who gave you that courage?"

Recognition flickered in Kai's mind—this was the same Celestial Dragon Luffy had punched in the past. Charlos's audacity was staggering, but to Kai, it was laughable.

"You lowly commoner! How dare you speak to me like that!" Charlos bellowed, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Guards, take him down! I want him as my slave. Let's see if he dares to disrespect me again!"

At Charlos's command, the two CP0 agents rushed toward Kai without hesitation, ignoring the alarmed looks of their comrades. They were used to the unquestionable authority of the Celestial Dragons, confident that no one would dare defy them.

Kai smirked as he watched their approach, finding their blind loyalty almost amusing. "Do you two not know who you're dealing with?"

From the sidelines, the CP0 captain shouted desperately, "You fools! Stop and retreat with Charlos!"

But it was too late. Kai moved like lightning, appearing before the two agents in an instant. They barely had time to react before a shadow flickered past them.

Both were sent flying backward at a terrifying speed, coughing up blood as they crashed to the ground. Their chests were caved in, leaving them gasping their last breaths.

Without breaking stride, Kai locked onto Charlos, who was being dragged away by the CP0 captain. The gap between them closed rapidly, and the Celestial Dragon's fate was sealed.

"You're done for," Kai muttered coldly. "Not even the Five Elders can save you now."

The CP0 captain, desperate to protect Charlos, spun around to face Kai. His expression twisted with rage and resignation as he snarled, "You leave me no choice!"
