The battle inside the quarry ended extremely fast.
So fast it was somewhat unexpected. By all logic, as one of the Three Calamities of the Beasts Pirates, Queen's strength shouldn't be low. If it were, he wouldn't qualify as one of the Beasts Pirates' top executives.
Ranked second among the Three Calamities, Queen carried a bounty of 1,320,000,000 berries. His individual combat power was enough to fight an Admiral without being defeated—though he also had no chance of beating one.
Therefore, even if he were being gang-beaten by four Admiral-level powerhouses, he still shouldn't have been instantly killed.
The true reason was that Sengoku, Garp, Sakazuki, and Kuzan had all undergone enhancements, and their combat power had greatly increased.
Especially Garp and Sengoku—after multiple enhancements, with Sengoku rapidly mastering various Buddhist martial arts and Garp cultivating "qi," both of their personal power levels had already surpassed the Four Emperors.
Queen had miscalculated their strength, so his being one-shot wasn't strange at all.
After dealing with the pirates, Sengoku looked toward the prisoners locked in the quarry prison. In his vision, no numbers appeared above their heads—which meant the prisoners inside weren't pirates.
Makes sense. The quarry had already been swept clean by the four of them; all the individuals with numbers above their heads had been eliminated. There shouldn't be any fish that slipped through the net.
Well… actually, there was a fish that slipped through.
Sengoku glanced at a certain bruised and swollen Drought Jack, but had no interest in finishing him off.
Letting his gaze sweep over the group of prisoners, Sengoku confirmed no pirates remained. Then his eyes shifted to the dozen or so people whose appearance was completely out of place compared to pirates or prisoners.
At their center was a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious kimono—his physique slightly bulkier than average, his head and mouth both large, seemingly balding. His face was square, with a crown on the left side of his head and a topknot tied on the right. His hair was purple, mostly gathered at the sides and back, and his mustache curled upward.
His appearance was extremely distinctive—see him once, and you'd remember him.
"…Wearing a crown… could he be the shogun of Wano?"
Sengoku examined the stiff-smiling man but didn't immediately question him. Instead, he silently speculated about the man's identity.
After all, wearing a crown didn't necessarily mean king or prince—some people just wore them for fun.
Besides, if he really were Wano's ruler, what was he doing sneaking into the Beasts Pirates' territory in the middle of the night with a group of people?
Sengoku's gaze shifted to the guards surrounding the middle-aged man—each one stranger-looking than the last…
Wait?!
Sengoku's expression froze. Among the bizarre group, he spotted one figure who seemed both blended in and completely out of place—a man entirely coated in green.
Might Guy, what are you doing here?
The momentary confusion quickly passed as Sengoku forced his thoughts back on track.
The key point: The Beasts Pirates occupied Onigashima, right next to Wano. They also had outposts inside Wano itself.
So what was the relationship between Wano's ruler and Kaido?
Co-conspirators? Victims of coercion?
Whichever it was, Sengoku didn't intend to get involved.
The Navy's mission is to deal with pirates—not meddle in another country's internal affairs.
Sengoku walked over to one particular cell. According to his observation, the prisoner inside had one of the highest power levels in the entire quarry, and he was also the only one bound tightly from head to toe.
He might be able to provide valuable information.
With that thought, Sengoku casually slapped the iron bars, shattering them in a single blow, and stepped inside.
As for the other three…
Sakazuki crossed his arms and leaned against a wall, his cold gaze locked onto Orochi and his group.
Thinking similarly to Sengoku, Sakazuki suspected they were collaborators of Kaido—and was seriously considering whether to execute these criminals who cooperated with pirates.
Under Sakazuki's killing intent, Orochi and his retainers all stiffened like boards, not daring to move an inch for fear of provoking him.
Yet beside them, a certain green figure kept pestering them with questions, repeatedly challenging them to a duel, trying to provoke them into making a move.
I strongly suspect you're baiting us into committing a crime, and the evidence is iron-clad.
Orochi's Oniwabanshu members screamed internally, though they forced awkward smiles on their faces.
They frantically waved their hands in refusal, for two reasons:
One—just as they feared, this looked suspiciously like entrapment.
Two—they had no idea how strong this strange green man was, but his companions were monstrously powerful.
By that logic, this man shouldn't be weak either.
For the sake of their lives, none of them dared accept Might Guy's challenge.
Might Guy was very disappointed.
He had been thrilled to meet ninjas from another world and had hoped to spar with them—exchange techniques, compare martial arts, and witness foreign jutsu.
But the other side refused him with absolute determination.
Meanwhile, Kuzan casually sliced open the prison bars with an Armament-infused ice blade, freeing the prisoners inside.
Garp, however, was staring at the sky.
High above, Borsalino and King the Wildfire were still fighting intensely.
Borsalino had purchased certain skills, and his strength was somewhat higher than before—but not by a large margin. He hadn't widened the gap enough to overpower King.
With two fighters of similar strength, it was impossible to determine a winner in just a short time.
"…Keeping this going is pointless," Garp muttered.
He let out a low shout, stirring the qi within his body.
His qi ignited like a firecracker—instantly bursting outward and forming a visible aura that wrapped around him.
"Hah~~!"
Garp kicked off the ground, his body shooting into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he crossed several hundred meters and arrived before King, delivering a qi-wrapped punch straight into King's abdomen.
Garp had entered the battlefield!
With Garp and Borsalino joining forces, King would not last much longer.
At the same time…
Kaido and Uchiha Madara—two colossal monsters—had already taken their battlefield from Onigashima to the seas.
As the giant man and colossal dragon clashed, Kaido's dragon form twisted through the sea, churning up massive waves. A single blast of his heat breath evaporated huge volumes of seawater, and his spinning dragon body created a massive tornado, forming a sea-dragon vortex that connected sea and sky.
Yet even heat breath capable of vaporizing a mountain could not melt Susanoo, and even a sea-shaping dragon tornado could not trap it. The hundreds of high-frequency slashes inside the vortex also failed to shatter Susanoo.
However, the attacks weren't entirely ineffective—the heat breath and the slashes still left marks on Susanoo. It was just that Susanoo regenerated faster.
Precisely because he understood this, Kaido dared to continue fighting Madara.
If he couldn't even break the enemy's defenses, he would never waste time—he'd have already fled.
