Unfortunately for the Udon prison guards, they weren’t strong enough to deal with two powerful marines, with both attacks they would blow away most of the defenders including the two Shinuchis, taking them out pretty quickly, but whether or not they would regain consciousness later still remains to be unseen. But for now, the fight at the entrance against the prison guards is done for now. If Sasaki and Leo would notice what is going on behind them, there are still guards not looking towards them, instead firing out, perhaps already going into combat with the Yakuzas. It won’t be long till the Yakuzas find themselves getting into the prison now that Sasaki and Leo have opened the floodgates. As such, they would now look at two entrances on their right and left (starting from the south gate), and in front of them atop the prison centre is a larger building – perhaps where the ones in-charge may be, directly near the large stone wall, underneath the building is another entrance – which likely leads to the underground.
Their time is short however, as pieces have begun to move – soon the Yakuzas would come pouring into the prison and turn the prison into complete chaos, finding the Hakumai boss will be very difficult later on. That said, the whole place is loud and chaotic already, some would ignore Sasaki and Leo as they would fight their own battles, others if encountered would likely fight them instead. Perhaps this chaos is what the marines needed.
Somewhere in Udon…
“WHAT ISSSSSS GOING ON?!?!?!? Who is interrupting my dance?!?!?!?”
A large blond pony-tailed hair man appeared out of his office, hearing the large chaotic sound that has interrupted his relaxing time, he was practicing his dance to show for the men back in Onigashima.
“QUEEN-SAMA! The gates have been broken by two extremely powerful beings!”
“WHAT?!?!?!?”
Defaulting into his shocked expression, the usual trait of Queen whenever something suddenly came up. Transitioning from his shocked expression into one of anger, the Queen face became beet red, flustered at the fact that someone managed to destroy the gate that he painstakingly has it prop up for defence.
Sasaki and Leo managed to venture further into the prison. Now not a long, but not exactly a short distance behind them, the prison guards were fighting the Yakuza, who were trying to bust through the destroyed gate. Sasaki and Leo could attack the prison guards from behind, thus helping the Yakuza get through, but that was not the plan right now. Instead, both Sasaki and Leo noticed that the prison had a rather obvious layout. There was a large building that was both at the center of the prison, as well as perched up on a higher platform. That was clearly the heart of the prison, and likely where higherups and answers could be found. Leo, who had not spoken much so far since arriving in Wano, finally took command decisively.
Alright Sasaki, I'm going up there. You go explore deeper into the prison and see what's what.
Leo said, Sasaki nodding with a smile on his face. And with that, fire burst from Leo's feet and hands, and he flew up to where the central building was. Once he reached up there, he stopped ascending and threw his right arm forward, the fist flaming with a powerful fire. From the fist, a huge column of fire with concussive force was unleashed. Wisps of black Busou-shoku no Haki danced in the column of fire, increasing its power and concussive force.
Hiken...!

Leo turns his fist into fire and then punches, unleashing a huge column of fire that can plough through several ships. Rank B.
Leo aimed to bust right through the walls of the central building. As he was doing so, his eyes glowed a hint of orange red for a moment.
Down below, Sasaki took off, venturing deeper into the prison. Once he ran into someone, he would plan to quickly subdue them and ask some questions.
Hakumai -> The Flower Capital 10 A simple flex from his arms. That was all Kallavan needed to dispatch the 11 shinobi that had him surrounded but just a few moments ago. Kallavan simply kept his gaze upon Orochi who latched out towards Kallavan. A fit of rage and utter sense of disbelief clouding his judgement or perhaps it was his unknown battle sense. The 11 shinobi from that simple encounter all knew what kind of monster had entered the building.
And it wouldn't be the one that was barking the loudest. "Let me just show you how vast the difference is between you and me," Kallavan said threateningly. With his quick reflexes, the admiral took a quick hop backwards allowing the heads to crash into the ground in front of him. Timing his jump at the same time the heads would crash into the ground Kallavan would afterwards instantly direct his movement forward through a dash.
In this forward movement, he’d bring up his right arm as haki once again flowed through it, igniting it black. “ Taihou Punch!” Kallavan would say as he’d come to a close within striking range of Orochi’s heads. Using both speed, skill, power and haki into the mix, creating a punch that arguably exceeded cannon fire.
The punch while also physically making contact would at the same time deliver a powerfully focused shockwave through the motion. Through all the means listed above, it surely wielded enough power to sweep Orochi off his feet despite his massive size and potentially through a nearby wall.
Once through his movement, Kallavan would rest his offensive stance once again clearly annoyed that he had to spend his time fighting such a weakling. But depending on the location Kallavan would slowly move over to Orochi as an unknown entity loomed above the man, showing the feint outlining of a monster that was approaching.
Perhaps Orochi would now finally see reason when the odds were clearly stacked against him. And Kallavan's bloodlust raged without constraints.

With Leo’s plan to separate for the time being, Leo would first attack what seems to be the most important building within the prison, flying high up to the central part of the prison and attacking in a large fire in the shape of a fist, destroying a large portion of the building – which does actually belong to Queen, the All-star of the Beast Pirates. As the fire plough through the walls of the building, creating a large hole in the building – Leo is seemly not met with any response, but merely – more soldiers would fire repeatedly at Leo from a distance away near the central area, as well as cannons shooting repeatedly towards Leo. Where could have Queen gone to?
For Sasaki, as he ventured into the underground mines, just a minute upon entering the mine – a large explosion would occur from behind him, as the entrance in which he came from would suddenly collapse as large chunks of boulders filled the entrance, preventing Sasaki from leaving the entrance without attempting to blow it open. As the entrance is destroyed, hopefully with Sasaki distracted by it, a man would suddenly drop upon behind him – with a katana aimed to slice the man vertically downwards, hoping to cut him in half. To people like Sasaki, it may not be recognisable – but it is the leader of Udon’s Yakuza, Omasa. Whether or not Sasaki would react to his attack, another one from the other side would came running – similarly unlikely to be recognisable Tsunagoro, the leader of Hakumai Yakuza would run towards Sasaki’s blind side, his katana as well swung in order to cleave Sasaki horizontally, aiming to bifurcate the intruder in half as well.

The Flower Capital @Ichimonji@Sea@QuickZilver708
King, Kaidou's right-hand man, after an altercation with La Spada and Akira, retreated. Between his immense speed, as well as the ability to fly, he was a tough catch. And because of that he was gone before La Spada or Akira could do anything about it. Soon, the unfolding of those events would awaken a Demon. La Spada roared, and her Tiefling bloodline awakened completely. A pair of horns, a powerful tail, and a roar that reverberated all throughout the Flower Capita, La Spada took off in a run of rage. Blitzing through the streets of the Flower Capital, she was running straight toward Shogun Orochi's castle. Akira, who had no choice but to follow, swung his blade to cleanse it of King's blood, and then took off after La Spada.
Zalera knew that now was the time to start an uprising. Between La Spada's water miracles, as well as her and Akira's ability to push back Kaidou's right-hand man, the civilians of the Flower Capital had every reason to believe that they had an opportunity, and perhaps even a savior. All Zalera had to do was give an inspiring speech and battle cry to rally the civilians. And that he did. With Zalera's own march, he would bring thousands of civilians on an advance toward Shogun Orochi's castle. As the march walked the streets, more and more civilians came out of their houses, joining. The mother, the daughter, and Zalera led the civilians, and soon, they would be upon Shougun Orochi's castle.
Inside the castle on the top floor, Kallavan and Shogun Orochi had gotten into a fight. Shogun Orochi had transformed into a large eight-headed serpentine beast, and in a fit of rage came upon Kallavan. Two of Orochi's heads, clad in black Busou-shoku no Haki, came ramming down onto Kallavan. But, Kallavan was a much more experienced warrior, and jumped away on time, before pushing off of the ground once again and charging toward Orochi. With a powerful punch to one of Orochi's heads, Kallavan sent the large weight-headed serpentine beast rolling and skidding backward and through one of the Shoji behind him. The room that they were in, that is, the Shogun's room, started to crack and shake under the weight of the fight.
Black Busou-shoku no Haki started to fade from the part of Shogun Orochi's body that Kallavan had hit. However, despite that defense, the damage was rather severe.
Kallavan's DPR: 101-119: 6. City Block Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 11. Small Country Level

With his vision blurry, Shogun Orochi was in disbelief that he had just gotten attacked by a common man. However, despite his rage, Shogun Orochi knew that this man in front of him was no normal man. Perhaps he was not royal or important, but he was strong. Even Shogun Orochi knew that he would not be able to win this fight. And so, he had to scheme. As three of his heads rose up into the air, mimicking an animal standing up tall for an intimidation factor, Orochi started to speak.
You don't know what you've done, little one. Get ready for your life to crumble in front of your eyes.
Orochi proclaimed. However, it was but a mere speech of the three heads. Another one of the heads, laying low, looked at one of the Shinobi that was on the ground from Kallavan's earlier attack. Shogun Orochi gave him a look that had a meaning, that is, a signal, though what he was scheming was anyone's guess.
Gambit's idea and deal fell on deaf ears, as it did not interest Kaidou at the current point in time. With that, Gambit's situation became dangerous. He had come to Wano uninvited, manipulatively dangled a carrot in front of the great Kaidou, and was now getting ready to set out. Whether it was Gambit's ignorance of the highest level of the world, or it was his confidence, his behavior was unlike most other people's. Gambit said that he would become the tallest mountain, whilst also stating that it was time for the people of Wano to revolt and stand up for themselves and their land. After all, the land was of the people, and no one else's. And with that, Gambit and his companion, Prince Namor, set out. However, as they walked away from Kaidou, a few seconds and a few dozen meters later, they would feel a rage from behind them. Kaidou had grabbed his massively-sized kanabo and slammed it into the ground. Conqeuror's Haki blasted the entire area, causing walls and the ground to crack. Kaidou's will was so strong, that even the physical world around him had trouble withstanding. The Conqeuror's Haki would envelop both Gambit and Namor, instilling Kaidou's rage into the furthest depths of their souls. Whether they would be intimidated or not was anyone's guess - for they were clearly on a high level if they came to talk to Kaidou the way they did. But what was not of question, was that they would undoubtedtly feel his enormous power. His booming voice followed.
Excusing yourself quite early, wo-ro-ro.
Kaidou said, his laugh no longer joyous, but rather filled with bloodthirst.
You walk into my domain, try to get your way, and then think you will be free to leave?
The strongest creature in the world said, clearly willing to fight despite his dehydration and drunkness.
Let's see it then. Show me what you are made of, little man.
Kaidou said. Suddenly, with a burst of speed, he was upon them. With his kanabo in his right hand, raised high up into the air, he swung it down. The weapon was large enough to pummel both Gambit and Namor at the same time, and heavy enough to, upon impact, shake the whole of Onigashima. Lightning crackled from the kanabo, black Busou-shoku no Haki clad the weapon, and Conqueror's Haki was bursting from it.

With the mouseman knocked out quickly by the kanabo-wielding individual, Uteki deduced that the animal-looking men were part of Kaidou's Beast Pirates, and that the one attacking them, that is, the kanabo-wielding individual, was fighting against the Beast Pirates, and as such was not a direct enemy of Uteki's. Joining in, Uteki attacked as well, taking advantage of the fact that she had not been noticed yet, due to the sheer attention that the kanabo-wielding individual had garnered. Swinging her sword, Uteki unleashed a flying slash, which hit the bat-looking man up in the air.

G-gah!
The man winced, blood trailing down in notable amounts. His vision started to blur, and he started to show lack of balance up in the air with the flailing of his wings. Looking around, he spotted Uteki, who would have not had enough time to relocate and hide, due to the rather spaciously open area that they were in, right at the entrance of the factory.
You wench, who are you?!
The bat-looking man said, bringing the attention of the other ones to Uteki as well. The one with the lion head for an abdomen, named Holdem, the one with gazelle legs, named Gazelleman, and the armadillo-looking one, named Madilloman, all showed visible anger and rage toward the two attackers. The bat-looking one descended to the ground, the blood loss now taking too much out of him to still be able to fly. Holden, towering over the others, spoke.
You dare attack one of Kaido-sama's factories? You must be nuts. If you wanted a death sentence, all you had to do was ask.
The man said, suddenly pushing off the ground and charging toward the kanabo-wielding individual. His right fist came down, clearly aiming to pummel the target into the ground with great might. At the same time, Gazelleman and Madilloman both charged Uteki, flanking her from the right and the left. Gazelleman suddenly sped up, using his gazelle legs to close the distance on Uteki's left, before delivering a spinning kick toward her left shoulder.
Gazelle Kick!
From the right, Madilloman was closing in as well, clearly working in conjunction with Gazelleman.

With Leo’s plan to separate for the time being, Leo would first attack what seems to be the most important building within the prison, flying high up to the central part of the prison and attacking in a large fire in the shape of a fist, destroying a large portion of the building – which does actually belong to Queen, the All-star of the Beast Pirates. As the fire plough through the walls of the building, creating a large hole in the building – Leo is seemly not met with any response, but merely – more soldiers would fire repeatedly at Leo from a distance away near the central area, as well as cannons shooting repeatedly towards Leo.

Leo flew high up into the air, reaching the altitude of the building, where his fist exploded into a powerful inferno. Punching forward, Leo unleashed a large column of fire that slammed into the building. The concussive force blew the wall of the floor open, and there seemed to be no resistance. Leo's eyes glowed for a moment, which meant that he was using his extremely rare ability to see a few split moments into the future. Leo saw the hail of bullets and the cannonfire upon him. With Kamisori, he pushed off of the air, disappearing and thus avoiding those attacks in the process. He reappeared inside the floor of the now damaged building, seeing that no one was there. Leo would look around, trying to see what that building was used for, as well as any signs of higherups and where they might have gone.
In the meantime, Sasaki had ventured deeper into the prison. At some point, an entrance that he had walked through exploded behind him. Large chunks of rubble came crashing down, blocking off the entrance and essentially trapping Sasaki.
These guys are really trying hard...
Sasaki could probably cut his way out of that trap rather easily, but there was no time for that. Seeing a shadow down on the floor, Sasaki turned around while also looking up, having realized that he was under attack. He saw a swordsman descending from above him, while another had tried to get into Sasaki's blind spot, but failed. Using his bare hands, imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki, Sasaki would catch the blades of the two assailants, stopping their attacks dead in their tracks.

Then, swinging them around once, Sasaki threw the two swordsmen toward the walls.
Well then, how about you tell me what's going on? I came here to kill Kaidou. You guys wouldn't be working for him would you?
Sasaki said, now for the first time speaking rather specifically about why he and Leo had come to Wano. It was time to find out who was who, who was with who, and where Kaidou was.
When the deal fell off, the two princes bid farewell to the Emperor. Several walks later, a huge thud could be heard from Kaido's location. The two turned around. Kaido is now holding his massive weapon, a black bat with dozens of spikes ingrained into it. Seconds later, the man in front of them would boast his extraordinary will. A will that only belongs to those destined to conquer the seas - Color of Conquerors. *Vrrrmmmmmmmm... Hnghhhhh...*
The vicinity trembled as if an outside force rammed the walls or the ground was being tormented upon. But these weren't the case. Both Gambit and Namor would feel as if a violent gust of wind blew past their faces but this was no wind at all. It was one's inner soul manifesting the intensity of his willpower. It was full of rage and bloodthirst. It was trying to inculcate fear and dread into the hearts and minds of the young nobles. He was almost successful as the two, for the first in their lives, felt like a fellow predator is standing right in front of them, aiming to devour their souls! They both turned their fists into balls of fury, clenched their jaws, and displaying a scowl on their faces.
"Namor!"
Gambit wouldn't believe what he was about to face the moment he activated his Future Sight. He would try to avoid the incoming attack by leaping together with Namor but Kaido was fast, they would be hit no matter what. And with that, he had to resort to something else.
The prince swirled his cane just once before taking the form of a death scythe, in which blade and pointed pommel were made of sea prism stone. An element that's capable of weakening the opponent, especially those who possess similar abilities like him - Devil Fruit users. Namor, on the other hand, reached out to his two daggers before turning them into two golden tridents - a scientific invention fused with the souls of the weapon.
Kaido was approaching. Dashed like a bullet cutting the wind.
Gambit fused his weapon with his own will, fortifying it. Magnifying it further, the blade would unleash an ember-like substance.
And at last, two animals sprinting in the vast savannah with equal levels of speed. One would swing down his fang while the other would raise his own. "Hundred Years of Solitude!!!"
The two weapons clashed like an epicenter of a quake. Ramifying godlike gales across the battlefield like a vacuum operating in reverse. The former trembling of the walls would eventually worsen as they started to break open while the very ground they were standing onto cracked, creating craters twice their sizes. And if Jack and Namor were paying attention to the sound as they covered their faces with their arms, they would also hear a mixture of crackles of thunder and whooshing and the whistling sound of tornado wherein the debris served as its own percussion offbeat.
"KAIDOOOOO!!!", Gambit roared as he held himself against the powerhouse, in spite of receiving subtle punches all over his body off the clash and Kaido Conqueror's Haki. Only signifying how more superior the man he was facing now. Only fitting to the title of The Strongest Creature Alive.

Leo would find himself almost seemly alone in the building, it does seem that the building is definitely meant for officials in charge – as the interior of the building, even though failing due to its damage taken by the fire, is shown to be rather well-furnished and definitely not one to expect of a prison, at least not compared to the state of other building within the prison. As Leo would look around for the time being, with no resistance at the moment – he would find a den den mushi, a mic and several papers. Should Leo go through the papers, one would find the paper containing logistics of the prison, including who is in the prison, the wardens, and even the amount of raw materials that the prison has amassed over a long period of time, the Beast Pirates are definitely planning something in an unprecedented scale. There is one paper, however hidden amongst the normal reports – a letter addressed to Queen, with an order for the All-star to return to Onigashima by Kaido.
Should Leo read the papers during his investigation, a third Shinuchi would appear behind Leo, a lady wearing a biker headgear with multiple hands, hopefully getting a sneak attack onto the marine. With a swift and quiet movement, the Warden known as Solitaire would swing all her arms towards Leo, applying Haki alongside with her four swords, aiming to cut the marine down from behind.
Within the underground, Sasaki managed to threw both of the Yakuza Leaders back – using greater strength to overwhelm them. However, not being the typical fodders, Omasa would immediately fire an air blade upon being thrown back, aiming to injure Sasaki with a powerful attack, hoping to take the man down with a quick surprise. Tsunagoro however quickly throw several daggers in response as well, before both of them would hit the wall. Omasa would crash into the wall, whilst Tsunagoro, using his more agile body was able to recover in mid-air, allowing his feet to touch the wall instead, preventing more damage to the Yakuza Leader.
As Omasa would bleed from his mouth, though not necessarily enough to take out the man from the get-go. Tsunagoro would smile deviously, quickly responding to Sasaki’s words, it seems that something more malicious is going within the politics of the Yakuza.

Demon. Humanity set aside in a fit of rage. The fire surrounding the Grim intensified with every step, the low growl a chorus to the madness. Leading thousands, the demonized La Spada arrived at the courtyard of the palace. The crowd stopped. The Grim looked up, her eyes following the signatures she felt with mantra.
A demonic roar heard miles away came from the Grim as she jumped and glided mid-air, following a sword being sheathed after performing iai
[La Spada] (Ittoryu Iai: Nadegiri...)
Suddenly, a giant slash appeared on the top floor where the figures’s “voices” were. The diagonal slash aimed to cut the whole palace in it’s top part diagonally down (like Enies Lobby but more vertical). While certainly able to cut those inside if they were in the way, the slash, if successful, would bisect the top floor in a way gravity would force part of the floor to fall to the ground hundreds of feet below, creating a grand entrance.
A grand entrance of thousands. Revolution. Waiting below would be thousands rallying a single dark fiery figure with skulls surrounding her, and an aura to kill insatiable. The Grim Reaper.

Kallavan remained ready with his fist still held upright beside his face, smoke trailing from his knuckles as hardening faded from them. A quick glance at his opponent and his hand made the man grunt in disapproval. "Tch, those zoan powers are wasted on you. " Kallavan said as he lowered his right arm and observed how three heads rose up, trying to intimidate the man that stood before them. Out of the corner of his eyes, Kallavan could also spot another head that was scheming something or at least that's what it looked like at first glance. The vice-admiral was about to do something about it until he received a terrifying shiver. His body reacted to it at least albeit subconsciously. The first was a screech that could be heard from far away, akin to something one might imagine. But the blood lust was real, far too real. Kallavan had felt it too many times in his line of work. Orochi, however, the fool that he is would be utterly oblivious to it most likely.
The screech in time turned into an outer-worldly roar which even the likes of Kallavan could intimidate. While it didn't necessarily have that effect it most definitely forced Kallavan to shift his focus from the Shogun to this unknown entity. Luckily for him, he didn't have to look for her. Should her slice connect with the building Kallavan would be forced to move, as he took a few hops backwards trying to evade the slice. Afterwards, while keeping himself afloat Kallavan would try and look around taking in the changes. And who exactly it was that radiated this bloodlust. Orochi was but small fry compared to this new arrival.
The Shadow followed the Grim Reaper closely behind, looking out for potential enemies that may take advantage of La Spada’s blood lust to try a sneak attack, though largely un-needed. Unlike his Captain, whom shown to have explicably shown her terror and vengeance to those whom she seeks out. The Shadow remains calm and quiet, showing the exact opposite of the Grim Reaper, zero blood lust. It works well for both of the pirates – the woman whom places a big red target on herself, and her Shadow whom takes the enemy when they least expect to. To that end, Akira did not stand close to La Spada, opting to stay a distance by a nearby building roof, away but close enough for him to act upon any transgression against the Grim Reaper. Still in his black garbs, from a distance it may seem to be ninja simply due to how close his clothing resembles.
When La Spada would split the building apart from the top, diagonally to create a large debris to fall upon to the ground – revealing the dwellers of the top floor, though none in which Akira would be able to recognise. But whichever is the case, Akira isn’t waiting to be stand passively, withdrawing his katana once more, revealing the blood-stained Muramasa from its old, wooden scabbard. Right now, it is easier to simply assume everyone on the building to be enemies, until shown to be otherwise. Keeping his attention more on the man whom seems to be afloat, and from a distance away – the boy could only make out what seems to be a hydra, prompting a small bit of confusion as the boy mumbles to himself.

Seeing that her attack did not knock out the enemy in one hit. Uteki let out a small sigh. Knowing that she should have put more force behind it. The gazelle man rushed towards her. She shifted her attention towards him even though the madilloman was also rushing towards her because he seemed to be the aggressor. Announcing his attack made it easier to deal with. She utilizes one of her techniques as well. Using a fluid spinning motion combined with some precise footwork as she moves her blade, she moves around the gazelleman, ending up behind him and striking with her blade enhanced with black haki.
"Second of the Forms, Hogosha."
WIth her attack finished, she announces it. As if to mock the gazelleman. The madilloman who was working in tandem with him would find himself attacked as well, but not from Uteki. Ai had launched a flying fist at him. From her unseen position. After launching the attack, she would relocate. Still in a position to attack, just making sure it was hard to pin down her location.
Second of the Forms: Hogosha- Can be used as a counter-attack or as an evasive option. After a fluid spin the user maneuvers behind their opponent while simultaneously attacking. | 61-80 Mastery: Destructive Potency: A + Black Haki
The situation in the Flower Capital escalated with every passing moment. On one end, there was a negotiation between the traders and Shogun Orochi that escalated into a heated argument and then into a sudden interference by Shogun Orochi's Shinobi, and Kallavan's counter-attack, and on the other end, there was an uprising stirred up by the La Spada Pirates. One would think the capital would be the last to fall in any invasion or battle, but it was starting to look more and more like the capital would be the first to fall in Wano. Perhaps that was because it was in the hands of a man like Shogun Orochi. Or perhaps, because the Flower Capital wasn't really the true army capital of Wano. That was, for all intents and purposes, Onigashima, though that fact was not widespread knowledge.
With King's retreat, it would not be long before the capital would fall now - however, would it fall to Kallavan, who, though this was a hidden fact, was a Marine, or would it fall to La Spada and her pirate crew?
La Spada, roaring with fire, rage and madness, made quick pace toward Shogun Orochi's temple, where her light-boned frame took high up into the air and then attacked. A slash cut the top floors of Shogun Orochi's temple in half. The whole temple was impacted by the attack, causing it to rumble. Some of the upper floors started to collapse, and the 8-headed serpent was seen among the smoke and chaos. As the upper parts of the temple started to collapse, and a lot of obscurity was created, the 8-headed serpent was seen falling with the temple. Quickly enveloped by smoke, dust and debris, the 8-headed serpent was obscured from view as it came crashing down along with the temple. It was Kallavan and La Spada, that were the first ones to come face to face. Whether they would recognize one another, and how they would react to each other's presence in Wano, remained to be seen.
Elsewhere in the Flower Capital, quite a good distance away and atop a roof of a smaller temple, a number of figures started to converge. They were cloaked and hooded, and hard to identify, but some of their faces were seen. One was a very large man with pink hair, one was a kappa, and one was a beautiful, very tall woman.
Kaidou's massive kanabo descended as Gambit's scythe ascended, and the two men clashed. Lightning, wind and shockwaves spawned from the clash, but it was clear who was stronger in this moment. And while height, weight and muscle mass did not necessarily portray who was stronger, in this case, it was a good hint. The much larger man, Kaidou, pushed Gambit away. Gambit's own attack was one of great power, and so it allowed him to survive Kaidou's attack, however not quite unscathed. Kaidou slammed the kanabo into the ground once again, causing the area to rumble yet again.
Wororororo, it seems you have some strength after all.
He said, laughing.
But, I will teach you the difference between us, you child.
Kaidou said as parts of his skin started to change. A dragon's scales started to form on parts of his body, a thick and powerful tail grew out from behind him, and his hands and feet started to turn into claws and talons. Kaidou entered into his half Human half Dragon Hybrid Form. Commanding even greater power and exuding even more intimidation if that was even possible, what stood in front of Gambit now was a true beast. Heat started to gather inside Kaidou's mouth as he took a deep breath. Leaning backward slightly, Kaidou's chest bulked outward, filling up with air. And then it came...
Bolo Breath...!
DPR: 120: 7. Town Level + S:+4 + COA: +3 = 14. Large Continent Level
From Kaidou's mouth, and utterly massive blast of fire came forth, aiming to engulf both Gambit and Namor. Black wisps of Busou-shoku no Haki were present in the fire blast, increasing its power further. The sheer heat, size and concussive force of the fire blast was tremendous, and had enough power to hollow out and destroy a mountain. What made the situation even more dire, if Gambit and Namor even had the luxury to spare the attention, another strong figure was approaching from the skies.
Gazelleman and Madilloman flanked Uteki, aiming to overwhelm her from two different sides. Perhaps it was because Uteki's attack on the bat-like man was not too powerful, but it seemed that they were underestimating her. Gazelleman approached from the left, delivering a spinning kick toward Uteki. However, despite Gazelleman's speed, Uteki was able to employ a sword technique that spun her around him, and she ended up behind him, cutting him down. Seeing Gazelleman's lack of success, Madilloman rushed his attack. In a matter of moments, he was upon her, his arms held high up into the air, clapped together and fingers intertwined. He sought to bring his arms down upon Uteki like a hammer, however before he could do so, a concussive force came ramming into him from the side, sending him skidding across the ground. As he got up, he could not see the attacker. Looking around, he saw the kanabo-wielding mystery person in the act of taking out the rest of his allies, and Madilloman was the last one left.
Between the mysterious attacker that he could not find, as well as Gazelleman being cut down in front of him, and all of the other ones being taken out by the kanabo-wielding mystery person, Madilloman started to tremble with fear.
S-stop! Who are you people?! Kaidou will hunt all of you down!
Madilloman said, still convinced that he was important enough for Kaidou to want to avenge.

Leo, having busted into the central building of the prison, looked around. He had expected all monitors and technology, but instead he stumbled upon a well-furnished place that one could even live in. Going through the papers and whatnot, Leo got a hint of what the prison and the Beast Pirates had been up to. He stashed all of those papers into his attire, as they would serve as proof of the Beast Pirates' wrongdoings, as well as overall evidence that Leo could bring back to the World Government - perhaps even contributing to a large increase in the Beast Pirates' bounties. The World Government could also use knowledge of what the Beast Pirates had been up to, to predict their future plans. One paper in particular, that Leo stumbled upon, was a summons. Kaidou summoned Queen to Onigashima. Being one of the most experienced Vice Admirals in the Marines, Leo of course knew exactly who Queen was. However, he did not know where Onigashima was. And the fact that both Queen and Kaidou were there, was a problem. Leo had to find a way to get there.
As Leo was thinking about those things, a sneak attack occurred. However, with Leo's Kenbun-shoku no Haki, he had obviously picked the attack up. When Solitaire struck with her four swords, Leo turned around, but did not seem to put a guard up on time. At least that's how it appeared, as he did not move his hands at all.
However, when Solitaire's swords collided with Leo's body, they were stopped dead in their tracks. Leo had used Tekkai, as well as invisible Busou-shoku no Haki, to block the attacks, and he remained unharmed.
Solitaire's DPR: 61-80: 4. Small Building Level + COA: +1 = 81-100: 5. Large Building Level
Leo's durability: 120: 7. Town Level (with Tekkai) + COA: +1 = 8. Island Level
Staring down at the shorter Solitaire, Leo glared.
Alright, time to talk. Where is Onigashima?
Leo asked, his eyes glowing a faint orange-red. Deep down, Solitaire would have to know. It was talk, or die.
Elsewhere in the prison, deeper in the prison, Sasaki was attacked. Blocking the attacks, he threw the two attackers into the wall. A flying slash was fired back at Sasaki, and a number of daggers came with it. Sasaki's left hand grabbed the scabbard on his left hip, stabilizing it, while his right hand grabbed the hilt of the katana sheathed on his left hip. Drawing the katana, Sasaki swung it a couple of times rapidly, dispersing the flying slash while also deflecting the daggers, before sheathing the katana once again.
Omasa's DPR: 61-80: 4. Small Building Level + B: +2 = 101-119: 6. City Block Level
Tsunagoro's DPR: 61-80: 4. Small Building Level
Sasaki's DPR: 101-119: 6. City Block Level + B:+2 (due to sword rank, not a technique) = 8. City Level
One of the two assailants then went on to say that Queen had promised them power and even a spot in the Beast Pirates if they were to take him down. Sasaki smiled and replied.
I see... how about this then... I promise to spare your lives, if you just tell me where Queen and Kaidou are.
Sasaki said, suddenly pushing off of the ground and disappearing from sight. Using utmost speed, Sasaki blitzed the two men, grabbing each one by the neck and slamming them into the ground. Now on top of them, Sasaki would glare, giving the two men their choices. Perhaps, Queen's offer would no longer seem so appealing to them, considering they were facing someone that could easily kill them, if he did not show them mercy.
(Guren: I’m definitely GModding the “soul bonding” part to promote IC between us. Let me know if u want me to edit. Kaka, I took this from Kallavan’s backstory that Guren sent me, if you’re wondering)
Flower Capitol Building
A grand entrance of thousands. Revolution. As the building was exposed and Orochi fell, Zalera called the crowd to action. They would storm the Capitol in the thousands. A Revolution writ in desperation and blood.
Kallavan would need not search for the birth of the chilling roar - it found him. From the rubble, a streak of fire blitzed towards him at blinding speeds. A madwoman. A cluster of hate and intent. When he looked up, Kallavan would have a demon beset with fire, cloaked in black haki from head to toe, and glowing green with soul upon him, sword front.
[La Spada] “LA MUERTE!!!!!! (literally meaning “The Death”)”
Words in ancient dialect roared with aplomb and maddening rage. A black skeleton was upon Kallavan with the blunt part of her Saijo O Wazamono sword leading the charge, aiming to slam into his upper chest with enough strength and madness to destroy a Small Country, literally. Fire, soul power, and haki would explode upon contact, a chorus to the madness.
Assuming, but not deciding, Kallavan could at least block the attack to any degree, a pitch black skeletal face would appear above the blade. The eyes of Hell would stare into Kallavan’s eyes and very essence. Those eyes screamed hell and destruction. The roar that accompanied and all the soul power used would potentially have an unnerving effect. For a split second, it would touch Kallavan’s soul, his soul bonding with the Grim’s own in their respective consciousness.
In that split second, Kallavan got a view of La Spada’s soul like few would. The soul Kallavan would feel was blackened beyond repair. Hate birthed from decades of pain. To leave the world in ruin. Whom spat on the Devil himself. Whose hate bore resurrection. Who better to bear the burden of Underworld? Alternatively, in that split second, Kallavan’s past, fears, and soul was ripe for review from the Grim.
[La Spada] “Tell me, child. Would yah’ parents be proud of how yah’ conduct Justice? Bent on power? Or would they turn their backs on tha’ man you’ve become; becoming the one yah’ sought to stop?”
[La Spada] “Yah’ soul is no different from those who made you and your parents suffer as a child. Power corrupts. And yah’ soul, my child, is deliciously corrupted! The Grim take souls to the Underworld, and your soul is definitely one of mine...!“
[La Spada] “Kuahahahahaahahaha!!!!”
Those words came as an echo in Kallavan’s consciousness in that split second. Where his fears of insufficiency as a child, before Vice-Admiral Sasazuki showed him power, came rushing back. Where his parents suffered at the foot of his weakness. In La Spada, he would see what scarred him as a child; humanity’s low point and truth of their evil. Yet, La Spada’s soul was honest with itself, not amidst a lie to pursue power.
Aa the split-second occurred, Zalera had jumped to the area. He had the child with him. He saw La Spada locked eyes with this strange man, her soul power at work to promote fear. Having Awareness haki as well, Zalera realized what the captain’s rage was forfeiting by engaging these men. Zalera took a risk and screamed, hoping to reach The Grim in her fit of rage and demonic intent, a small view into the Spada Pirate’s mission.
[Zalera] “Captain! We seek Yonko Kaido! Y-y-y-you’re the only one who can def- you must save your strength!”
Spada Attack
101-119: 6. City Block Level + 3 (A Technique) +2 (black haki) = 11. Small Country Level
La Muerte (“The Death”): Initiating a high-speed movement, translated the momentum into one spot by leaning his body forward and delivering powerful impact with the blunt part of his sword. Because of the momentum, changing direction is not possible, yet the force of the attack creates a shockwave.
Fear Status Effect: Affected is nauseated, has reduced observation Haki and finds it hard to concentrate on anything but the thing scaring them. lasts for 3-6 turns. Requires at least 71 mastery
Leo would find himself indulging into every single piece of evidence that Queen supposedly left behind – plans of what they have been doing here in Udon, if more detailed reading is done to the reports, Leo might notice the materials being mined from the quarry are mainly used to create weapons of several types; swords, axes, spears… Hell even some of these materials could have been made for cannons and guns. For a marine of respectable position and status within the Marines and World Government itself, such large amount of logistics for a pirate crew should be concerning.
But regardless of his thoughts, Solitaire would seemly attack Leo, but only to be of no success. Instead, with Solitaire’s attacks stopped dead on tracks, not even leaving a small wound – it would shock the Shinuchi. Her futile attacks have change her perception of the man in front of him – terrifying. Coupled with Leo’s questions and his attempt to be like Batman, the Shinuchi would refuse to answer, even if she got terrified.
“T-There’s nothing to tell you! Kaido-sama will deal with you soon!”
With her refusal to answer Leo’s question, either the marine could continue to put up threats to the poor woman, or simply get rid of her. Though with enough fear perhaps even the Shinuchi would break. But right now, dying seems to be something the Shinuchi typically don’t think about and thus of no equivalent value, perhaps she is more afraid of Kaido than Leo?
Sasaki would find himself dealing with attacks just momentarily after throwing the two Yakuza Leaders away, though with his prowess it is not something he couldn’t deal with. Soon afterwards, Sasaki continues to attempt in negotiation, threatening with lives for information, which unlike Leo’s attempt in interrogation, seems to be more useful for the two Yakuza Leaders. Given the grip from Sasaki, it is difficult for neither of them to escape from Sasaki’s clutches, literally. Looking up at Sasaki in somewhat defiance, Omasa would start to give in – attempting to speak to Sasaki in a very discomforting situation.
“Q-Q-Queennnnn- He…! -”
“Muhahahahahaha! These Yakuzas are worthless! FEEL FREE TO KILL THEM.”
Before Omasa could finish speaking, he would be interrupted by a new person. Should Sasaki turn around, he would find a person that the pair have been looking for, Queen. Beside Queen would be the man known as Warden Babanuki, another Shinuchi. However, before any more words would be uttered, Queen would suddenly pressed a button, showing a trigger of some sorts as suddenly multiple explosions would occur around the mine, Queen would attempt to destroy not just the ceiling above them, but also the supporting pillars of the mine. This would immediately start the collapse of the mines around them, as large chunks of debris would fall quickly around them, building up to be a wall of rocks and debris between the trio and Queen. This would quickly prompt the two Yakuza Leaders to try and escape quickly, for the entire mine is now collapsing upon them, they need to escape. Grabbing their swords, both of them would swing towards Sasaki’s neck in an attempt to kill the marine whilst he may likely be distracted by the situation. If successful or if Sasaki were to let go of them, depending on when he did – the Yakuza Leaders would attempt an escape from the area.
Sasaki could theoretically chase after Queen, though the collapsing mine might force him out as well, as Queen seems to be going deeper in the mines for some reason. But it may be difficult for him alone to do this – regardless of Sasaki’s choice, at least they now have some information about Queen.
Omasa and Tsunagoro DPR: 61-80: 4. Small Building Level
Chaos had consumed the area Kallavan was in. A slash would cleave the building he was standing in, forcing it down. Having lost where Orochi had gone to the marine had to focus for another threat would show itself nearly instantaneous. Murderous intent was spilling out of the area and when Kallavan looked up he'd see a streak of black and red racing towards him, like a powerful comet. With his eyes wide open Kallavan would move himself to intercept and defend himself. "Tekkai!" The man shouted as he rose his left arm, coating and beastifying as he brought it up. The clash between La Spada and Kallavan was terrifying as just with that single clash their respective moves were on equal terms, blasting debris and the trapped shockwave outwards with them as the epicentre. Wisps of haki would also spark off Spada her sword, and while Kallavan's arms had received blunt force trauma it was far from out of commission. But one thing Kallavan understood deeply from this exchange. This was a powerful enemy.
120: 7. Mountain Level (Tekkai + partial hybrid) + 2 haki = 9. Small Country Level

Kallavan's eyes would meet with this hooded stranger and saw only a skeletal figure, the hollow eyes staring into Kallavan's soul literally. Connecting her soul with his own, bringing it towards Kallavan's sea of thoughts. A manifestation of his subconsciousness. The battlefield was transformed or rather Kallavan was teleported to the depths of his own mind. There he stood all alone, observing a burning town. Screams, cries of agony as a deep lingering aura of despair filled the town. Kallavan knew very well what and where this town was, eyes racing around as he tried to look around. But the only thing he could see was fire all around him and a single building in front of him. There a young Kallavan at the age of 11 was on his knees, tears racing down his face. As the suffocating emotions in this place had consumed him. To his left, his father was trying to free his mother whose leg was trapped by a piece of falling debris. "What trickery is this?" The older Kallavan said in confusion.
Slithering like a snake Spada would emerge herself around the older Kallavan appearing at his right shoulder, a subconscious construct.
[La Spada] “Tell me, child. Would yah’ parents be proud of how yah’ conduct Justice? Bent on power? Or would they turn their backs on tha’ man you’ve become; becoming the one yah’ sought to stop?”
Kallavan wouldn't respond out of pride to this vile woman who was trying to instil doubt into his convictions. The play in front of him continued as his father managed to free his now unconscious wife. Carrying her in his arms he beckoned to the crying Kallavan to follow him but the child was deaf to his pleas, sorrow had taken control.
Amidst the fire and flames, a group of pirates would emerge, weapons and pistols in hands, pointing them towards Kallavan and his family. This group of pirates all had the face of present Kallavan, his memory twisted and perverted by Spada.
[La Spada] “Yah’ soul is no different from those who made you and your parents suffer as a child. Power corrupts. And yah’ soul, my child, is deliciously corrupted! The Grim take souls to the Underworld, and your soul is definitely one of mine...!“
"Silence! You vile woman!" Kallavan shouted as he stood eye to eye with his deepest regret.
The play in front of Kallavan continued to its conclusion where the pirates who bore his own face attacked his own family. His mind telling him or rather appearing to tell him that this conquest of power and absolute justice would put him on the same path. Him ending a family for the sake of being right. But right before the end, his mentor and source of inspiration. Sakazuki, would appear from within the flames and dispatched the group of pirates. It was here that the crying Kallavan would instantly stop and simply stood in awe at the bravery and superiority he showed. "Move." Sakazuki said not to the child version of Kallavan but the adult one, as a massive force pushed him backwards. As he was flung backwards, the ever-present shadow of La Spada ridiculed him as her cackling could be heard in the back of his mind.
Back to the present as that entire mind exchange was only a split second in reality, Kallavan showed anger as he had never before in his life. His zoan hybrid mode taking over as he rose to a solid 3 meters in height standing at nearly equal height with La Spada who now saw an ancient monster in front of her. Drawing back his neck as his forehead coated with black haki. Fear still gripping around his neck he chose to focus on nothing but the pirate in front of him like a man possessed. An ancient roar accompanied the massive headbutt Kallavan deployed.
"Uraaaaaaagh!"
Apex cannon:
Able to be used in both full and hybrid mode, Kallavan delivers a headbutt towards his opponent with incredible might and durability. Easily capable of knocking out foes.

Akira watches as the attack would cause the building to fall upon the ground, the collapse would undoubtedly cause dust and smoke to arise as the building crumbles under itself – but even amongst the smoke and dust obscuring everybody’s vision it doesn’t matter when the people in the dust cloud are moving around. Perhaps due to Akira’s negligence with staying a distance from La Spada, he wasn’t able to see what was going within the dust cloud where Kallavan and La Spada. However, movement by La Spada herself would easily disturbs the dust clouds when she would attack the marine in front of her. Although not being able to see anything, Akira had no choice but to move to La Spada as well. When La Spada and Kallavan clashed, the powerful blows would disturb and ripple the dust clouds further, making the view slightly clearer than before, where at least figure of the duo could barely be seen. Despite hearing the earbuds, the scream coming from Zalera could still be heard – which can be annoying since they are fighting and Zalera isn’t doing anything to help the current fight.
Speaking loudly, but enough for Zalera to hear – Akira would speak in a somewhat annoyed tone, perhaps the boy would rather Kallavan exhaust La Spada? As chaotic as Spada Pirates are, such thoughts aren’t probably a rare occurrence.
“Focus on your role Zalera! The revolution.”
Once the dust is slowly settling down, one of the figure started to transform – turning into a monstrous towering figure. Another Zoan, Akira figured – seems like this place is just everyone being a Devil Fruit user. Is the hydra from the top of the building a Devil Fruit user as well? Akira wouldn’t think too long on it, for he should actually do his job. With a step forward, Akira would burst forth in a single step – jumping high up above monster in question, his weapon sheathed back into its scabbard only for Akira to unsheathe it once more in mid-air, spinning himself around as he did and generating a full circular air blade around him. Part of the air blade would aim to hit the monstrous figure’s back – hopefully with enough force to cease whatever his doing, the remaining part of the air blade would go around and beyond, most likely hitting debris and air. But the biggest reason for doing this wasn’t just to protect La Spada, it was to completely blow away the dust cloud, Akira is well-aware of how physically strong Zoan users are, having encountering King already - fighting Zoans is going to be a pain in the ass.
Landing himself on the ground, Akira placed himself nearer to both figures now, near to their sides, whether their left or right depends on who is it. Unsure of what truly has gone between La Spada and the figure – the Shadow could only act until something else comes up. Akira would also start surveying the area, attempting looking for the hydra that he saw before whilst still ensuring the monster is within his peripheral vision. Regardless of how they are fighting – neither La Spada nor Akira would desire that their targets get away, though he can’t speak for the Grim Reaper in her present state, but that is something he could tell.
Name: Full Moon

Kaidou's massive kanabo descended as Gambit's scythe ascended, and the two men clashed. Lightning, wind and shockwaves spawned from the clash, but it was clear who was stronger in this moment. And while height, weight and muscle mass did not necessarily portray who was stronger, in this case, it was a good hint. The much larger man, Kaidou, pushed Gambit away.

Kaidou slammed the kanabo into the ground once again, causing the area to rumble yet again.

He said, laughing.

Kaidou said as parts of his skin started to change. A dragon's scales started to form on parts of his body, a thick and powerful tail grew out from behind him, and his hands and feet started to turn into claws and talons. Kaidou entered into his half Human half Dragon Hybrid Form. Commanding even greater power and exuding even more intimidation if that was even possible, what stood in front of Gambit now was a true beast. Heat started to gather inside Kaidou's mouth as he took a deep breath. Leaning backward slightly, Kaidou's chest bulked outward, filling up with air. And then it came...
Bolo Breath...!
DPR: 120: 7. Town Level + S:+4 + COA: +3 = 14. Large Continent Level
From Kaidou's mouth, and utterly massive blast of fire came forth, aiming to engulf both Gambit and Namor. Black wisps of Busou-shoku no Haki were present in the fire blast, increasing its power further. The sheer heat, size and concussive force of the fire blast was tremendous, and had enough power to hollow out and destroy a mountain. What made the situation even more dire, if Gambit and Namor even had the luxury to spare the attention, another strong figure was approaching from the skies.
Gambit's scythe and Kaido's kanabo clashed, desolating the warzone and the air space surrounding them. The former was pushed back, . And when Kaido slammed the ground, he would acknowledge the prince's strength.
"Wororororo, it seems you have some strength after all. But, I will tea-"
Gambit would cut him before he even finished.
"And I will close the gap between us."
Having faced the strongest attack he has ever encountered, the prince was determined to go all out. When Kaido started to take the form of human-dragon, Gambit did the same. His eyes became crimson and sharp fangs began to manifest behind his mouth. Growling, his fingers rolled into blades before turning most of his arms into jet-black bat skin. Demonic wings and tail sprang forth his back simultaneous to the emergence of horns on his head. Landayan Morrow evolved to his hybrid form, Vampirate Prince, and is now in possession of an even greater scale of power.
The Vampirate Prince burst from solitude like a lone monster trapped in hell for millennia and suddenly, with the will to rise a victor, he would project two of his strongest weapons of annihilation. First is a stream of demonic wail coming off the growl that is almost inevitable for it cannot be seen nor heard by normal creatures for its pitch is higher than any form of sound. Having said that, covering one's ears or even an attempt of removing them would be the most stupid thing to do. It's one of the few attacks he doesn't need any incantation to call forth. And so the Tremble of Souls was unleashed from his mouth, imbuing it with spirals of Black Haki.
Tremble of Souls: Gambit generates a stream of vengeful demonic wail with extremely high decibels (Mastery x2 decibels). The intensity of the sound is enough to cause internal bleeding and allowing it to slow down opponents by (DF Mastery/Target Base Speed) x10. Example: (100/100) x10=10 Points Deducted to Target's Speed.
- Damage scales off DF Mastery
- DPR: S, 100 DF Mastery - DPR: S+, 120 DF Mastery
120: 7. Town Level + 5 + 2 = 14. Large Continent Level vs the same DPR
The Tremble of Souls clashed with the Bolo Breath and re-enacted the previous explosion of powers, pulverizing the walls and the ceiling of the immediate area. Emerging almost simultaneously after the clouds of dust have cleared, supersonic particles started to gather around his mouth. And with a slight leaning backward, a cannonball made of sonic particles blasted. Cubes of rocks also erupted from the ground before turning to grains of soil. This attack is capable of eradicating an entire mountain and erasing anything in its path. And magnify its destruction level, spiraling threads of Black Haki were infused, aiming to devour the Yonko he was facing.
"Torrent of Terror!!!"
Torrent of Terror: Gambit's most powerful ultrasonic attack. He releases an extremely concentrated and destructive ultrasonic ball (about 5 meters sphere). It is more than powerful to blast and destructs anything in its path.
- Damage scales off DF Mastery
- DPR A, 81 Strength, 81 DF Mastery

Whilst he unleashed those two devastating attacks, another ability was in play, Echolocation. An ability that allows him to navigate the surrounding with such ease by producing echoes, tracking anyone and anything within his reach. He knew someone has arrived. He knew how many forces were present in the facility.
Echolocation: Gambit emits ultrasonic waves from his mouth or nose with very high frequencies. Its calls are pitched at 200 kilohertz, a frequency that is too high-pitched to hear naturally. When the sound waves hit an object, they produce echoes. The echoes then bounce off the object and return to his ears. He uses this as an advanced tracking and navigation system within (DF Mastery x2) meters.
- 41 DF Mastery
Namor was blown further backward after Gambit's combination attacks and now standing next to Jack. Holding his two tridents of destruction, he glared at the Calamity. Should the foot soldier desired to challenge him, he would strike with a decisive blow.
The Flower Capital @Ichimonji@Sea@QuickZilver708 (read Gambit's part as well, it will become important for you next post - reading it now will help with a smooth transition and understanding)
La Spada's mighty attack destroyed Shogun Orochi's temple. As the temple was collapsing, awakening absolute mayhem at the very center of the Flower Capital, tons upon tons of rubble came crashing down, rocking the area. The deathly La Spada rocketed through the smoke, her slender frame and speed alone serving to cut through the smoke itself like a sharp knife that could cut air. And then it came. A clash of the giants.
La Spada swung her mighty blade, while Kallavan transformed into an ancient beast and took the attack head on. It was truly a great spear versus a great shield type of situation. The attack, strong enough to destroy a country. A man, strong enough to withstand it. Presumably, both Kallavan and La Spada would land on the ground after their clash, and they would stand atop the collapsed rubble of the once grand temple of the Shogun. One of La Spada's subordinates tried to calm her rage, while another, Akira, tried to lend a hand. In that chaos, however, Shogun Orochi, like the snake that he was, had slithered away.
The citizens of the Flower Capital were now free to march and take over. The girl, and her mother, led the charge, and in a matter of minutes, would have the backing of every last man and woman of the Flower Capital. It would be then, that they would be able to proclaim the Flower Capital... the Capital of the People. Freedom was minutes away. Or was it? The escape of an important man could potentially ruin the whole plan. And that important man was not Shogun Orochi.
Intense flames rolled around inside Kaido's mouth. As he leaned back, inhaling an immense amount of air, the flames intensified further, until he finally exhaled. A powerful beam of fire was unleashed, one strong enough to hollow out a mountain and more. Keeping up with the pace of things, Gambit, too, had transformed. A battle of Mythical Zoans. A battle of titans. Kaido's Bolo Breath clashed with Gambit's own attack. The severity of the clash impacted all of Onigashima heavily. Large constructs would give in, and it was becoming clearer and clearer that a prolonged battle of these two could even push the gigantic Onigashima to the brink of peril.
When the clash cleared, Gambit pushed. A follow-up attack was in order, this one not as large, but all the more powerful, due to its compressed state. The powerful sound cannonball ripped through the air on its way toward Kaido. Grinning, Kaido grabbed his kanabo with both hands and imbued it with the strongest of black Busou-shoku no Haki. Then, swinging it like a baseball bat, he rammed the kanabo into the incoming sound cannonball.
Bang.
DPR: 8. City Level (because that's one above the 120, and Kaido is in the 121+ bracket, so that's the one) + S:+4 + COA: +3 = 15. Moon Level
With perfect accuracy, Kaido swatted Gambit's attack up at the sky. An attack that could destroy a whole continent, and Kaido swatted it up at the sky. When the sound cannonball exploded up in the sky, the skies were split, and the clouds were blown away. A truly cataclysmic event. And yet, one could speculate it was all under control. Kaido knew such an attack would damage Onigashima greatly, and so he swatted it up at the skies, where the attack could erupt as it needed.
With both Jack and Namor standing on the sidelines, it was evident that they were outmatched completely. If either of them tried to help their ally, they would just end up as collateral damage. However, it wouldn't get that far. Before either could join in on the fray, or begin to fight each other for that matter, another figure arrived.
Cutting through the skies with incredible speeds, King came flying onto Onigashima. He landed next to Kaido and knelt down on one knee, speaking to his Captain.
Kaido-sama, we have an emergency. There is an uprising in the Flower Capital. Outsiders infiltrated our country, and one of them supposedly came with water.
Now, all of the citizens have been rallied together. As I was flying away, I saw Shogun Orochi's temple collapsing.
King said, straight to the point. Kaido's eyes widened in shock and became bloodshot. Veins popped up all over his face, enraged.
And you ran away from that?! Why have you not brought it under control?!
Kaido roared, clearly enraged with King.
I am sorry, Kaido-sama. It was too much for me to handle alone.
King said.
Wororororo, is that how it is. Well then, King. Let's go see the situation.
Kaido said, before looking back at Gambit.
You there, you were a worthy opponent. There is no reason for me to seek your death right now. Come to the Flower Capital with me. Maybe you will find a new path there. Wororororo.
Kaido said as his body suddenly started to transform. As large a man as Kaido was, he suddenly started to grow in size beyond all comparisons. Giants and Sea Kings would no longer be a match for his size, as Kaido transformed into a fully-fledged dragon.
Both King and Jack hopped on, and Kaido flew away. A calamity in the form of a dragon was now on its way toward the Flower Capital.

Leo would find himself indulging into every single piece of evidence that Queen supposedly left behind – plans of what they have been doing here in Udon, if more detailed reading is done to the reports, Leo might notice the materials being mined from the quarry are mainly used to create weapons of several types; swords, axes, spears… Hell even some of these materials could have been made for cannons and guns. For a marine of respectable position and status within the Marines and World Government itself, such large amount of logistics for a pirate crew should be concerning.
But regardless of his thoughts, Solitaire would seemly attack Leo, but only to be of no success. Instead, with Solitaire’s attacks stopped dead on tracks, not even leaving a small wound – it would shock the Shinuchi. Her futile attacks have change her perception of the man in front of him – terrifying. Coupled with Leo’s questions and his attempt to be like Batman, the Shinuchi would refuse to answer, even if she got terrified.
“T-There’s nothing to tell you! Kaido-sama will deal with you soon!”
With her refusal to answer Leo’s question, either the marine could continue to put up threats to the poor woman, or simply get rid of her. Though with enough fear perhaps even the Shinuchi would break. But right now, dying seems to be something the Shinuchi typically don’t think about and thus of no equivalent value, perhaps she is more afraid of Kaido than Leo?
Sasaki would find himself dealing with attacks just momentarily after throwing the two Yakuza Leaders away, though with his prowess it is not something he couldn’t deal with. Soon afterwards, Sasaki continues to attempt in negotiation, threatening with lives for information, which unlike Leo’s attempt in interrogation, seems to be more useful for the two Yakuza Leaders. Given the grip from Sasaki, it is difficult for neither of them to escape from Sasaki’s clutches, literally. Looking up at Sasaki in somewhat defiance, Omasa would start to give in – attempting to speak to Sasaki in a very discomforting situation.
“Q-Q-Queennnnn- He…! -”
“Muhahahahahaha! These Yakuzas are worthless! FEEL FREE TO KILL THEM.”
Before Omasa could finish speaking, he would be interrupted by a new person. Should Sasaki turn around, he would find a person that the pair have been looking for, Queen. Beside Queen would be the man known as Warden Babanuki, another Shinuchi. However, before any more words would be uttered, Queen would suddenly pressed a button, showing a trigger of some sorts as suddenly multiple explosions would occur around the mine, Queen would attempt to destroy not just the ceiling above them, but also the supporting pillars of the mine. This would immediately start the collapse of the mines around them, as large chunks of debris would fall quickly around them, building up to be a wall of rocks and debris between the trio and Queen. This would quickly prompt the two Yakuza Leaders to try and escape quickly, for the entire mine is now collapsing upon them, they need to escape. Grabbing their swords, both of them would swing towards Sasaki’s neck in an attempt to kill the marine whilst he may likely be distracted by the situation. If successful or if Sasaki were to let go of them, depending on when he did – the Yakuza Leaders would attempt an escape from the area.
Sasaki could theoretically chase after Queen, though the collapsing mine might force him out as well, as Queen seems to be going deeper in the mines for some reason. But it may be difficult for him alone to do this – regardless of Sasaki’s choice, at least they now have some information about Queen.
Omasa and Tsunagoro DPR: 61-80: 4. Small Building Level
Leo, sharply and with a level of intimidation, asked the Shinuchi for Kaido's and Queen's locations. However, it didn't seem like it was working. The subordinate seemed either loyal enough to not bend, or perhaps she was even more afraid of facing Kaido, than of Leo. With that, there was nothing for Leo to do but to knock the Shinuchi out and get going.
With a Soru and absolutely incredible speed, Leo blitzed past the Shinuchi. Then, using the principle and speed of Shigan in the form of a punch, Leo slammed his fist into the Shinuchi's stomach with enough strength to knock her out.
DPR: 101-119: 6. City Block Level + B:+2 = 8. City Level
The Shinuchi is level 50, so her maximum durability allowed (due to stat caps) is 61-80: 4. City Block Level.
DPR 2 or more higher than durability: super effective
Jugon
Requirements: 41 Mastery, 41 Strength DPS: B Description:This is a very strong punch which is done at the same speed as Shigan, making it even more powerful.
Elsewhere, Sasaki was having considerably more luck. For the moment, it looked like the Yakuza were about to talk. However, it never even ended up mattering - for Queen himself, showed up on his own. Sasaki stood up and off of the two Yakuzas, letting them go. If they attacked him, he would just avoid the attacks. Queen, proclaiming the Yakuza as useless, took out what looked like a switch and pressed the button. The whole prison started to rumble and multiple powerful explosions occurred. Rubble, debris, and large boulders, as well as entire ceilings and floors, would start to collapse, and the two Yakuza would run away. As for Queen, he tried to escape deeper into the prison.
Sasaki would not let him. Unsheathing the two katanas sheathed on his left and right hips, Sasaki took off running after Queen, never letting him out of sight. Any rubble, debris, large boulders, or even ceiling, that threatened to collapse onto Sasaki, or in front of him to block his path, would be cut swiftly and with enough strength to turn it into dust.
Clearing his path continuously, Sasaki pursued Queen. Eventually, the fat man should come to a stop, and Sasaki would have his man.
You're not going anywhere, Queen the Plague.
Sasaki said, showing knowledge of Queen's identity. At that point, Sasaki's Den Den Mushi would ring. Sheathing the katana that he was holding in his left hand, into the sheathe that was on his right hip, Sasaki would take the Den Den Mushi into his free hand and pick the call up. On the other end, was Leo.
Oi, Sasaki, multiple explosions went off. What's going on?
Leo asked.
Queen did it. He's right in front of me. Don't worry about it, Leo-san. I'll handle things here. You should try to find Kaido.
Sasaki said, not requesting any back up, even in the face of one of Kaido's top three men.
[OCC: There is one pic I’m linking in the post that is there simply to annoy Kaka. Can you find it?!]
Flower Capitol Building
A soul savored down to the last palpable regret. In that mere moment, Kallavan saw a monster more devilish than his own. A monster with a soul as black as night. Fighting in his own subconscious, the marine found an anchor in Sazazuki, finding a way out of his despair. A roar of one ancient came out of grief; a child no more.
Impact crackled from forehead to forehead, haki colliding in a tug-of-war of will, the ground beneath them shaking. La Spada was pushed back, flipping mid-air to land gently in the other side of the room. Small cracks appeared in her skull, the proverbial armor. Pieces of bones floated around it, slowly being fuzed back by a green light. The onlookers would feast their eyes on something different; La Spada’s half-demon form.
La Spada’s horns had receded, her claws short, fire whisking out. Wherein her skeleton was black, now it glowed green. The Grim was no longer in full demon form, reverted back. The devil licked a piece of soul colored violet on her golden hook, unlike her own green soul. She tasted Kallavan’s soul, enough to quell her hunger for now.
[La Spada] “Yours is a soul of refined taste. Pain and suffering deep within your soul... it is SALIVATING!!!!”
Zalera, heeding The Shadow’s words, had left and followed orders. A word from a Mayhem was law. Zalera had returned downstairs, leading the Revolution. While the greats stared each other down, the Revolution had overran the Capitol. The guards that were left were overrun, and quickly the military had fallen under the thousands of citizen’s in uproar.
From below, Kallavan, Spada, and Akira could hear Zalera’s words, declaring the Flower Capitol theirs. Not to the citizens, but theirs.
[Zalera] “THE SOIL AND CITIZENS DECLARE THIS LAND CURED OF THE BEAST PIRATES!”
[Zalera] “BY ORDER OF THE GRIM. TODAY, THIS LAND IS UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE SPADA PIRATES FLAG!
La Spada chuckled evilly. If Kallavan was wondering who they were, he need wonder no longer. What Kallavan saw in front of him was like no other; evil subjugated evil. The power that Sazasuki had, that Kallavan sought, could that not be called evil? Here, the Spadas’ power had done what the marines power and evil failed to do; subjugated King and the Beast Pirates in the Flower Capitol.
Sophie’s Choice. Look the other way, or fight a battle that may return the Capitol to a Yonko? La Spada did not give the man much time to decide; he had to choose now, for The Grim had once again drawn her sword, standing with Akira “The Shadow”. Kallavan stared down a duo forged in the depths of Hades.
[La Spada] “Next up was Onigashima - Kaido’s head. But, I’m quite the humanitarian, yah’ know... Kuahahahaha! Who am I to turn down a fan’s request for death? Why, what kind of Grim Reaper would I be? Especially to one with such a tasty soul?!”
Tone cut with sarcasm and confidence. Little did they know, they need not seek the World’s Strongest Beast - he would find them.
[Edit: Fixed DPR clash]
Kallavan Attack v Spada Dura Kallavan: 12. Large Country Level Spada: 101-119: 6. City Level + 2 black haki + 1 DF perk = 9. Small Country Level
Leo would easily find himself capable of punching the poor woman in the guts without much trouble – knocking her unconscious with the pain inflicted onto her, no matter how strong Solitaire could have been, suddenly getting punch in the guts like this is good enough to cause her to throw up and faint from the attack. With no one to fight Leo at this moment, he would hear explosions occurring far beneath him which prompted him to speak to Sasaki to grasp the situation within the mines through the den den mushi. With the appearance of Queen spotted within the mines, Leo would just have to trust in Sasaki’s ability to take down Queen – a tall order even for someone like Sasaki, but given his confidence, he should be fine.
Leo would find himself with no contenders for the time being but if he were to look out of the building, he would find the chaos in the prison essentially uncontrollable, bodies could be seen lying around in masses as fights continue to occur throughout, Yakuzas in various samurai armour and emblems are locked in combat not just against the prison guards, but also of other Yakuzas. A consequence of the Marines’s actions to dive straight into action, all of the Yakuza clans seemly followed the path to self-destruction that laid in bare for them, if nothing is done to stop the fight it could mean the end of the Yakuza in Wano, though considering Leo’s ways of thinking he might prefer this outcome instead. Regardless of how Leo would think or plan to act, this whole place has essentially descended into madness and bloodbath, it won’t be easy trying to stop the outcome of the war.
Within the mines, Sasaki took the risk of death to pursue Queen – whom tries to seemly go on a suicide mission deeper in the mines that is collapsing upon them, perhaps another way out? But without directions or any idea of where is it, Sasaki may find himself in the worst possible situation regardless of how the fight would end up. Soon the two would find themselves in a slightly different section of the mine, a crossroad that looks to be almost untouched for a lot time, only filled with a couple of torches that spans throughout each pathway, too dark to make of what is actually ahead. With Sasaki now caught up to Queen, whom now notices the chasing Marine despite the collapsing of the mine – this prompts the Queen to look in shock, with his ever famous shocked facial expression.
“N-Nani?! You have a death wish don’t ya?!”
It took him a few seconds for the All-star to regain his composure, as the back of his head started to sweat, smiling as ever – perhaps this is the chance for him to deal with one of the Beast Pirate’s enemies once and for all. He can’t have these people come up and ruin Kaido’s plans, whatever happens to prison mines does not matter any longer, enough has been sent for Kaido to make use of the materials, all that is left is to deal with the intruders.
“M-Muhahaha! Then let me fulfil your wish!”
Without any hesitation, Queen started to transform into his Hybrid Form, turning into a dinosaur-human like form as he grew in size, towering in size even compared to someone of Sasaki’s stature. Looming over his adversary, his ponytail hair, his tail and even his left arm transforms and extends into machinery parts. It is time for a dance with the beast.
Revised Stat for Queen, gave him one level. (PS: I don't actually know what the +5 on the reaction speed is, I just copy paste and made minor changes.)
Level 76 (380)
