"Damn it, this guy is so reckless!"
The Red-Haired Pirates had suffered heavy losses. Yasopp and the others looked up at Yami in the sky, gritting their teeth, wishing they could attack him immediately.
"Beckman, Yasopp, lead the teams to seek help for the others."
Shanks, who originally wanted to be a peacemaker, now spoke with a gloomy expression.
Seeing his appearance, it was clear he was preparing to join the battle.
"Be careful. Don't die."
Benn Beckman lit a cigarette, his brows furrowed tightly.
He had an ominous premonition in his heart.
As one of the intellects of the sea, just as Doflamingo felt the aura of a true king from Yami, Beckman smelled a fatal threat from him.
He originally thought Yami launched this war solely for Whitebeard's Paramecia-type Gura Gura no Mi.
But with Yami appearing with the four Road Poneglyphs and his earlier speech...
This guy was obviously trying to attract them, using the signposts to Laugh Tale as bait, or forcing them to deal with him.
This act of challenging four Pirate Emperors at the same time, and potentially even more big shots who might join later, seemed no different from seeking death in Benn Beckman's eyes.
After all, is there anyone in this world who can be a match for two Pirate Emperors working together?
It was precisely this behavior, which any fool would know is suicidal, that filled Benn Beckman's heart with heaviness, and even... fear.
Yes, any fool knows it's impossible to win, so why would "Black Hole" Yami fight?
It implies that he has the confidence to remain undefeated, or even win, while facing the combined forces of four Pirate Emperors.
If that's the case, what realm has his strength reached?
Is he an existence from a different dimension?
"Worororo... Brat, you've done well."
At this time, the azure dragon in the sky turned into Kaido in his Human-Beast form. He descended from the sky and landed on the ground, laughing as he looked up at Yami.
"Mamamama... For the sake of you finding the other three Road Poneglyphs, I won't hold you responsible for stealing my Road Poneglyph."
Charlotte Linlin also descended from the sky, holding Napoleon, which had transformed from a hat into a large sword. She stared at the Road Poneglyphs standing on the ground, wishing she could snatch them away immediately.
But she also knew that if she did that, not only would Yami disagree, but the others wouldn't agree either.
"Brat, I'm not interested in that stuff, but if you lay a hand on my territory and my family, then be prepared to be buried here."
Whitebeard held Murakumogiri, one of the 12 Supreme Grade Swords. He swept a glance at the surrounding wasteland, his face covered in gloom as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Since this war can't be stopped, then count me in."
Shanks drew the Gryphon from his waist and said calmly.
The four Pirate Emperors were positioned exactly at the north, south, east, and west, while Yami was located in the center of the sky.
To describe this scene using terms from wuxia novels, this was the "Five Greats."
This large island had now effectively become the pirate world's version of the "Mount Hua Sword Tournament."
"Cut the crap, come at me all at once!"
Yami likewise descended from the sky, his body covered in a layer of transparent light.
Under the effect of this transparent light, Yami's body grew directly from 1.9 meters to 2.8 meters.
"Shambles!"
The next second, Yami's body vanished without warning, appearing out of thin air behind Shanks.
His long leg, now two meters long, was raised high and chopped down towards the 1.99-meter-tall Shanks.
Shanks, who had mastered the advanced application of all three types of Haki, was not caught off guard by Yami's teleportation. He turned in time, holding his sword to collide with Yami's kick.
If one looked closely, they would discover that Yami's kick was only covered in a black substance.
Shanks' blade, however, flickered with dark red lightning.
Thus, Yami's foot and Shanks' sword did not truly collide; they were blocked by an invisible substance.
However, the entire ground beneath their feet, like glass hitting the floor, shattered instantly over a large area, with massive cracks emerging.
Immediately, Shanks' expression changed drastically.
Logically speaking, a clash between ordinary Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki Infusion is no different from an egg striking a rock.
But unexpectedly, Shanks gained no advantage in this aspect.
Because Yami had enlarged his body, his endurance limit had also doubled with the help of the Momo Momo no Mi, allowing him to use force multiplied many times over.
Years ago, in his normal state, Yami could use just Armament Haki and a heavy punch to clash with Garp's Conqueror's Haki Infusion. Now, using a heavy punch with a much larger multiplier, he naturally wasn't inferior to Shanks' Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
Of course, if it were just that, Shanks' expression wouldn't have changed so drastically.
The key was that Yami wasn't playing a game of wrestling strength with him; he went full firepower directly.
So, in the split second after the ground shattered, the air around Shanks suddenly twisted and sank.
Terrifying gravity and pressure directly blasted a bottomless hole in the earth beneath Shanks' feet.
Shanks himself was blasted right into it.
Yami, meanwhile, floated into the air and flew towards Whitebeard on the other side.
"King's Punch!"
Mid-flight, Yami raised his arm to charge power, blasting a giant transparent white pillar of light at Whitebeard.
Hum—Kachacha!
Whitebeard likewise gripped Murakumogiri with both hands, coating the blade in a layer of transparent white light waves, and swung it forward with force.
The light wave was swung out like a slash, but after flying just a few meters, it vanished.
The next second, the sound of the atmosphere cracking rang out.
A terrifying shockwave surged out through the cracks in the atmosphere, roaring like a tidal wave towards the incoming transparent white pillar of light.
When the two collided, the entire large island shook violently.
A giant mushroom cloud rose directly, blocking the view of the Visual Den Den Mushi, making it impossible for people to see what was happening inside the cloud.
Only those Haki masters who had been blasted out of the central area by the repulsive force but were lucky enough not to die, and some who weren't in the central area to begin with, could sense several incredibly powerful aura fluctuations colliding with each other.
Three of these aura fluctuations, as if possessing a silent understanding, were collectively besieging the other single aura fluctuation.
What was even more terrifying was that, facing the siege of three equally powerful aura fluctuations, that single aura fluctuation was absolutely not falling into a disadvantage.
Rumble...
Sounds that could be earthquakes, thunder, or both, rang out continuously from the dust cloud.
Special effects of lightning and fire also gradually appeared within the mushroom cloud.
