Chapter 302: Meteor Fall
Hachinosu · High Altitude Battlefield
"BOOM—!!!"
The energy storm woven from lightning and fire exploded high in the air. The blazing shockwave was like a giant wave tearing heaven and earth apart. It instantly blew away the heavy cloud layer, and even the sea surface was pressed down for a moment before churning up into a monstrous surge!
Kaido's dragon pupils shrank sharply. Shock, anger, and killing intent flashed within those blood-moon-like vertical slits. His thousand-meter dragon body cut a savage silhouette amidst the lightning, his dragon whiskers dancing, his dragon scales gleaming with compelling cold light.
"Marine brats... you're asking for death!!!"
He suddenly dove down. His dragon claws tore through the sky like a collapsing mountain, the air shrieking beneath their edge. Carrying a momentum capable of pulverizing battleships, he lunged straight for Luffy!
The pink giant dragon, Luffy, grinned widely. His dragon horns reflected the intertwined glow of lightning and fire. Battle intent burned wildly in his eyes as he fiercely met the attack head-on!
"BANG!!!"
The two giant dragons suddenly collided high in the air. The clash of dragon claws sounded like the beating of giant drums and roaring thunder, vibrating the air until it collapsed layer by layer.
The moment their dragon tails swept out, the resulting shockwave directly cleaved a trench dozens of meters wide into the sea surface, only for it to be swallowed up by giant waves the next second!
Enel transformed into a Thunder God. Billions of volts of blue-white lightning flashed on his golden staff. Lightning coiled around his body like an enraged dragon, accompanied by the crackling of electrical arcs falling like a rainstorm!
"Divine Punishment: LIGHTNING HALBERD (RAIGEKI)!!!"
Zzzzt-Zzzzt-Zzzzt—!!!
Lightning condensed into a Spear of Heavenly Punishment a full hundred meters long, blasting toward Kaido's dragon belly as if tearing through the void!
Kaido roared. His dragon tail swept out like a hurricane whip, forcibly swatting the lightning spear until it shattered and scattered. The lightning exploded into countless tiny lightning snakes that roamed the air.
However, the dragon scale that was hit had already cracked and turned scorched black, emitting wisps of white smoke.
"Pesky bugs!!!"
Kaido roared at the sky. A blinding crimson light lit up deep within his dragon throat. Blazing dragon breath gathered madly, and the surrounding air distorted as if rippling like the surface of water.
"ROOAARR!!!"
He spat violently. The crimson-gold dragon breath poured down like a pillar of apocalyptic fire, burning the very void until it emitted ear-piercing cracking sounds!
Luffy and Enel dodged simultaneously. Lightning and pink dragon scales traced two rapid arcs of light in the air, narrowly avoiding that destructive heatwave.
The next instant, the pink giant dragon flipped around in mid-air. Enel swung his golden staff, and blue-white lightning and pink flames blasted out almost simultaneously!
"RUMBLE-RUMBLE—!!!"
Lightning and fire bombarded each other in mid-air once again. The blinding white light of the explosion instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, so dazzling that one couldn't look directly at it, as if forcibly dragging daylight back onto the battlefield!
Meanwhile—
The Beast Pirates' battleships had forcibly docked. The pirates roared, surging onto the port like a tidal wave!
Ten Numbers, resembling primeval demons, charged at the very front wielding giant axes and war hammers. Every step they took vibrated the ice surface until it cracked!
"Slaughter the Marines!!!"
"Rescue Lord Hanafuda!!!"
The elite Marines rapidly formed ranks. Muskets fired in volleys, and bazookas roared!
Usopp lay prone at a high vantage point, his custom sniper rifle locking steadily onto the center of a Number's brow—
"SWISH!!!"
A special bullet broke through the air, accurately piercing through the Number's eyeball!
"AHOOO—!!!"
The Number clutched his eye, screaming miserably, his massive body crashing to its knees!
Sanji's figure moved like lightning. With Diable Jambe wreathed in blazing flames, he sent three pirates flying with a single kick!
"Marine Cuisine: BBQ FEAST!!!"
BANG! BANG! BANG—!!!
The pirates flew backward like cannonballs, crashing into enemy lines and triggering a chain reaction of explosions!
Above the ship's bow, seeing Kaido tied up high in the air, the killing intent in King's eyes skyrocketed. His black wings violently spread open!
"Marines... don't get too arrogant!"
"Flame Emperor: SLASH!!!"
"SWISH—!!!"
A slash wreathed in flames tore across the battlefield, cleaving straight toward the execution platform!
Zoro and Kuina leaped up simultaneously!
"Santoryu (Three-Sword Style): BLACK ROPE DRAGON TWISTER!!!"
"Ittoryu (One-Sword Style): FLYING SWALLOW SLASH!!!"
"CLANG!!!"
Sword energy and the flaming slash collided in mid-air, sparks raining down!
With a flap of his wings, King instantly closed in on the two!
"FLAMING WING SLASH!!!"
"SWISH-SWISH—!!!"
Two crisscrossing flaming slashes rushed at their faces!
Zoro blocked with his three swords, while Kuina spun nimbly, thrusting the Wado Ichimonji straight at King's throat!
"CLANG!!!"
King's longsword parried Kuina's thrust, a sinister smile forming beneath his mask: "Woman... I guess the lesson I taught you last time wasn't enough, huh?!"
Kuina's gaze was like cold light: "This time, you won't get away!"
"Blood Moon: SWALLOW RETURN!!!"
"SWISH!!!"
A crimson sword light traced a swallowtail arc. A fine crack abruptly split across King's goggles!
"What?!"
Before he could even react, Zoro pounced like a tiger descending on its prey!
"Santoryu Ogi: EXTREME TIGER HUNT!!!"
...
Hachinosu · Coastal Battlefield
Jack, transformed into a giant mammoth, roared at the sky. His tusks gleamed with a ghastly cold light. His elephant legs, as thick as giant pillars, fiercely trampled the ice surface!
"BOOM!!!"
The ice layer instantly exploded. Cracks spread madly like a spiderweb for a hundred meters. The defensive line meticulously arranged by the Marines instantly collapsed under the impact of this brute force!
Following closely behind, the Numbers brandished their giant axes and war hammers like demon gods stepping out of an ancient battlefield. The ice surface beneath their feet was stomped into shattered, churning pieces, crushing all obstacles.
"Is this all the Marines are capable of?!!"
Jack laughed wildly, his tusks stained with shattered ice and blood streaks. "Crush them for me!!!"
The pirates' morale skyrocketed as they roared and swarmed toward the Marine lines!
However—
Jack's wild laughter abruptly came to a halt.
He realized the light above his head was rapidly disappearing, as if the entire sky had been blotted out by some colossal object.
"Hm...?"
He slowly raised his head, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks—
High above, the cloud layer was forcibly torn apart by an invisible power. A massive meteorite over a hundred meters in diameter ripped through the atmosphere. Trailing roaring flames, deafening sonic booms, and a long tail of fire, it descended like a heavenly punishment plummeting to the world!
"Wh-What is that?!!"
"A meteorite—it's a meteorite!!!"
The pirates' expressions changed drastically, their charging footsteps instantly falling into chaos!
The shrieking sound of the meteorite tearing through the sky seemed to rip the very air apart. The blazing light illuminated their faces, rendering them deathly pale—that was not just light, it was the countdown to death!
"Hmph! Just a broken rock!!"
Jack roared. His mammoth body suddenly crouched, the ice surface beneath his feet instantly cracking and pulverizing!
"BANG!!!"
Using the recoil, the giant elephant leaped a hundred meters into the air, lunging straight for the meteorite!
"SHATTER FOR ME—!!!"
"BOOM—!!!"
The meteorite and the mammoth collided head-on in mid-air, erupting with a terrifying shockwave. The impact airwave swept across the entire battlefield like a hurricane!
The surface of the giant rock suddenly crumbled, and countless burning fragments poured down like a meteor shower!
"AGHHHH—!!!"
The pirates below were thrown into chaos by the flaming rubble. Screams echoed one after another, as if the apocalypse had arrived!
Jack's massive figure smashed heavily back onto the ground, all four limbs sinking deep into the ice layer. His heavy breathing was like thunder: "Hmph... nothing more than this!"
"Is that so?"
A steady voice, yet carrying an invisible oppressive pressure, slowly transmitted from the edge of the battlefield.
Issho held his cane sword, stepping across the shattered ice surface with an unhurried pace. The blade was unsheathed by a mere three inches, yet its cold light felt almost tangible.
"Then how will you, sir, deal with..."
"...the second one?"
"VROOM!!!"
An invisible wave of gravity shot into the sky, like a fissure tearing the firmament apart!
The sky collapsed once again. A meteorite even more massive than the previous one slowly took shape—
A colossal behemoth over two hundred meters in diameter. Its blazing flames churned like hellfire, its shadow enveloping half of Hachinosu, seemingly intent on swallowing the entire battlefield whole!
The pirates of the Beast Pirates looked up at the sky. Only naked despair remained in their pupils—
"There... there's another one?!!"
"How the hell are we supposed to fight this?!!"
"Mommy, I wanna go home!!!"
