A streak of blue light tore through the sky, flying who knows how far...
But in reality, it had only been an instant.
Reacting just in time, Bin Black clenched his fist, thick Armament Haki radiating a dangerous aura as he swung forward.
But he struck nothing. Bullet had already vanished.
Carried by inertia, Bin Black's body was sent flying backward. Twisting his torso, he looked ahead—
And spotted a deserted island, momentarily surprised.
Although it wasn't too far from Vosk Island where they'd just been, sailing from Vosk Island to here would still take a while.
To think they'd arrived here in just the blink of an eye...
He adjusted his body, preparing to land.
...
In the dense forest below, Law slowly raised his left hand.
"ROOM!!!"
A loud shout rang out, and several hidden presences burst forth.
A semi-transparent sphere of light instantly enveloped the entire island.
Bin Black, who had just entered the airspace above the island, was also trapped inside it.
"What!"
His heart skipped a beat as his Observation Haki swept out instantly.
He immediately sensed a few weak presences below the island and snorted coldly.
"Just you?"
He double-checked with Observation Haki.
Indeed, the only ambush waiting below was this small group.
"Courting death."
His entire body gleamed with the radiance of diamond as Bin Black stomped down and charged toward them like a raging beast.
Watching the rampaging Bin Black, Law's expression tightened as he tried to use his power...
But nothing happened. He sighed softly.
"As expected, it doesn't work."
He raised his head again.
"Scatter!"
He activated his Devil Fruit ability.
Whoosh—
In an instant, Law, Drake, Doberman, and Momonga vanished from their spots and reappeared elsewhere.
BOOM!!!
Bin Black crashed into the ground, and the tremendous impact made the entire island tremble.
Before he could climb out of the crater—
Szzzt—
The smoke was vertically sliced apart.
The mountain behind them, along with the ground beneath their feet, was split cleanly in two by Law's ability...
But Bin Black, standing at the center, remained completely unharmed, his narrowed eyes scanning for prey...
...
A thousand meters high above.
Bullet, Karol, Enel, and Skarn were aboard a floating warship, observing the battle below.
The ferocious Bin Black rampaged freely, completely unchecked.
Against a pirate with a bounty of 1,450,000,000 Belly like Bin Black, the four attackers couldn't even pierce his defenses.
And Bin Black's speed was also fast. They could barely keep up with evasion.
All they could do was rely on Law to command the field, using his power to teleport them away again and again.
If not for Bin Black's speed being slightly slower than their teleportation, the fight would have ended long ago...
Enel sat on the warship's railing, legs swinging.
"Giving them a training opportunity is useless, huh."
"He's just chasing them around."
"Tsk... brutal."
Karol let out a wry laugh.
"Don't laugh... if you went down there, it wouldn't be any better."
"The opponent's way too strong."
"With their level of strength, it's basically unsolvable."
"A miscalculation."
Bullet nodded slightly as he kept watching the fighters below, ready to intervene at any moment.
As they observed, their expressions grew more serious.
Enel also sat upright now... feeling a bit of a headache...
He turned to Skarn and asked,
"Hey... has that kid always been this reckless?"
...
On the island below.
Drake's eyes turned red in his human-beast form...
His beastification dulled his reasoning slightly as fury surged within him.
This guy was supposed to be their trial, but... what kind of trial was this? They hadn't even landed a hit.
They were just being chased around the island, relying on Law's power to escape.
Teleport, teleport, teleport again.
Before he could even get a steady view, he'd been teleported again.
ROAR——
A wave of murderous intent erupted from Drake, his body expanding into a massive Allosaurus form towering several stories high.
His head was coated in Haki as he charged straight at Bin Black.
Bin Black, seeing the giant beast coming his way, abandoned his pursuit of Law—the main target.
He grinned viciously and stood his ground, neither dodging nor blocking.
Cold sweat trickled down Law's forehead as he reappeared on the side.
"That idiot..."
He stretched out his hand, activating his power to save Drake.
In the distance, Doberman and Momonga swung their swords, sending out multiple slashes—but Bin Black only glanced at them.
He let the sword energy hit him directly. It didn't leave a scratch.
He raised his fist, aiming at Drake's head.
Law activated his power, and Drake's figure vanished.
But then—
Law's eyes were suddenly assaulted by a blinding flash, tears streaming down as his vision went white for a moment.
And Bin Black, who had appeared before him without warning, locked onto Law with Haki and grinned as he smashed his fist down.
His real target had always been Law. Everything earlier had just been an act. Obviously... everyone had fallen for it.
BOOM!!!
The ground on the island cracked apart.
But Bin Black's face darkened.
"As expected..."
"Come on out."
Whoosh—
Karol appeared far away, gripping Law's shoulder.
"A genius move."
"By adjusting the mirror angle of his diamond surface, he reflected light as bright as staring into the sun."
"A sudden burst that blinds the opponent."
"Hard to guard against. If you're caught, you die. Truly terrifying."
Bin Black's expression grew grim.
"You figured that out already..."
Very few people had ever seen that move—because everyone who had was already dead...
But these Marines had figured out its principle after seeing it once. Truly...
Szzzt—
Enel appeared, stroking his chin.
"Why not go bolder?"
"For example, adjust every mirror surface on your body, calculate and combine them. Maybe you can reflect a laser."
"Hm... another Borsalino..."
Bin Black blinked, a bit confused by the word 'laser'...
But when he heard Borsalino, he reacted instantly. Of course—Marine Headquarters Admiral Kizaru's ability was light.
That beam wasn't called a flash... but a laser.
An idea bloomed in his mind. Grinning, he slowly raised his arm and aimed it at Enel.
"Thanks, brat."
The blazing sunlight was reflected and concentrated through Bin Black's diamond body into his arm, forming a focused laser beam.
He aimed at Enel and fired a golden ray.
Whoosh—
A laser as thick as his arm pierced through Enel's body, as well as countless mountains and trees behind him, leaving behind a melted path before slowly dissipating.
The reflected laser's piercing power was immense, though it couldn't explode.
The hole in Enel's chest slowly regenerated.
But the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably...
Wasn't this basically... supporting the enemy...
