Uteki had moved against Kaidou and she had his attention. She avoided damage, but was still forced back by the impact. She wanted to check on Yamato, but had no time. As she had his attention, she needed to give him hers as well. He charged her. She needed to defend herself. She drew her blade and as she did, her blood surrounded it. She had a clear impression of his power, and didn't want to risk her standard quality blade breaking against Kaidou's incredible strength. Her blood hardened around her blade and she thrusts it forward.

"Fifth of the Swords: Saigai!"

This thrusting attack focused vibrations at the tip of her blade. The purpose of this attack, besides defending against Kaidou's attack, was to inflict damage to his weapon. He would still be formidable without it, but he wouldn't have as much range, which was better than nothing. Upon impacting with the blade the blood surrounding it shatters and the blade itself, surrounded by black haki, collides with Kaidou's kanabo. Uteki loses the clash after a bit and is knocked back some. Her efforts in defense were largely successful, but that was all she was able to do for now. Yamato needed to get back in the game.

Fifth of the Swords: Saigai- A powerful advancing thrust attack. The focused vibrations coming out of the tip of the blade do heavy damage to weapons and armor. A follow-up attack can be performed.
Requirements: 41 Mastery, 41 Strength, 41 Movement Speed

61-80 Mastery: Destructive Potency: A

5 (81-100 STR) + 3 (A-Rank) + 2 (Armaments Hardening) = 10.

Kaidou's DPR 12 vs Uteki's DPR 10, Kaido wins. Remaining DPR is 2.

2 (Street Level) vs Uteki's Durability (101-119: 6. City Level) = Not Very Effective

Onigashima @Ichimonji @Sea

(Sea: You can read this part as well, as Sasaki will be running into this situation as well)

The La Spada duo and the samurai duo set out toward Onigashima. As they travelled, Medusa questioned the samurai. She wanted to know more about the legendary story of a great samurai that once fought against Kaidou. The two samurai looked at Medusa and nodded. The kappa samurai told the tale of their master, the great samurai Oden and his valiant death. With Oden's death, Kaidou demonstrated his supremacy in Wano, which transformed into his iron fist rule that he corners Wano with today. That led to Medusa's second question. How would the samurai fight against the strongest creature in the world? Who were their other allies? That, was answered by the other samurai, Kyoshiro. He named the other samurai that were headed toward Onigashima - the beautiful samurai Kikunojo and the mighty samurai Ashura Doji. No signs of lying could be detected in the samurais' answers, though it was evident that they did not have nearly the firepower needed to slay Kaidou. Then again, that is the reason why they were looking for help.

At the tail end of that discussion, Onigashima came into view from afar, and La Spada's breath was taken away... even though she didn't have lungs. Yohohoho. The boats hit the shores of Onigashima and fate waited for La Spada's boney feet to land upon the island of death.



The mouth of the skull was the entrance. However, atop the skull stood the silhouette of a creature. With his wings spread wide, he was the conflagration that brought death to all at Kaidou's feet. He was King - Kaidou's second in command.



Glaring down at La Spada and the rest of the group, King spoke.

You will not leave here alive. Prepare yourself - for all who oppose Kaidou will die.

The Forest @Sea


A group of highly skilled shinobi intercepted Shogun Orochi and Akira, aiming to save the former from the latter. A combination of smoke, tear gas and sharp weapons thrown at Akira were a good attempt to get the job done, especially given the surprise factor of an ambush. However, Akira used one technique that completely countered all of the shinobis' efforts. Swinging his katana in a circular motion, Akira unleashed a tornado of cutting winds with himself and Shogun Orochi at the epicenter, that is, the eye of the tornado. The tornado blew away the smoke, the tear gas, and deflected all of the sharp weapons thrown at Akira. Furthermore, it prevented any of the shinobi from reaching Shogun Orochi, and it prevented Shogun Orochi from running away. A dominant display by Akira clearly displayed the difference between him and the shinobi. Shogun Orochi's jaw comically dropped as he realized that there was no escaping his fate and this situation. Turning around, Shogun Orochi gambled on a bluff.

H-h-h-help, someone is here to kill m-me!!!

Shogun Orochi said, bluffing that whoever attacked was not here to save him, nor was Shogun Orochi connected to the attackers in any way. The shinobi heard Shogun Orochi's remarks and caught onto his attempts. They evacuated from the area, realizing that they could not tear the Shogun away from his captor. Instead, they would let Shogun Orochi handle himself for now.

W-we're almost there, keep me s-safe...!

Shogun Orochi said, getting back on his feet and making progress out of the forest. Once the two left the forest, the sea spanned out in front of the two, and there was a ship awaiting. The ship had the figurehead of a valiant dragon, and the whole ship was decorated with quite a bit of ornament. It was clearly a vessel for royals - a high quality ship meant to serve the Shogun himself.

L-let's go. Someone is always on the ship in case I need to get going.

Shogun Orochi said, boarding the ship. If Akira did the same, the two would go to the steering room, where Shogun Orochi would order a man to take them to Onigashima. And so, their relatively short trip began.

Kuri @Gambit

A legendary weapon was born in the hands of Tenguyama Hitetsu, and handed to one that would be among those that shape the future of the world. When the two, that is, the hammer and its new owner, made contact, a vortex of emotions, recollections and other metaphysical matters enshrouded and ensnarled Gambit, putting him to a test. A rebirth was necessary, not in the literal sense of the word - but Gambit had to evolve himself to the next level, a level worthy of wielding the legendary hammer. As the process was transpiring in front of his eyes, Tenguyama Hitetsu observed Gambit and spoke.

The true purpose and power of that hammer will surface and show itself in a special moment. A moment of life and death. A moment where you are confronting your most dangerous and greatest opponent. A moment that will shape the future.

Until that moment, this weapon will be nothing special. Yes, it is crafted to be on par with the 12 greatest creations in the world. But that is what I call ''nothing special''. The weapon will transcend all of that in that moment. Wait for it. Look forward to it. And when it happens, savor it.

But... I can tell you that moment will not be against Kaidou. He is not the one that will test you at the end.

My job here is done. You are a free man... so go. If Onigashima is what you seek... head in that direction.


Tenguyama Hitetsu said, pointing with his finger toward the cardinal direction that led to Onigashima. For a man that could fly, the general cardinal direction was all that was needed. Gambit would see the massive island from afar easily enough.

As Gambit turned around and was about to leave Tenguyama Hitetsu's home, he would hear those all important words spoken behind him.

Oh and... its name is Shinigami no Tekken (The Death God's Iron Fist). It will serve you well.

And so Gambit's time with Tenguyama Hitetsu came to an end. The two did not know each other well enough to warrant an emotional goodbye. But, their bond existed within the legendary hammer. Its creator and its wielder. That connected Tenguyama Hitetsu and Gambit for all eternity, or at least until ''that moment'' comes.

Onigashima @tlgRen

The strongest creature in the world, Yonkou Kaidou, swung his spiked kanabo downward toward his significantly smaller in stature opponent. Uteki retaliated, swinging her blood weapon upward and forward. The two weapons clashed, and lightning crackled from the clash. A strong shockwave took the area, but the clash did not last very long. Uteki was blown backward, which signaled Kaidou's dominance in the strength department. His weapon, too, was unharmed, which showed how great his weapon was, and more notably, how strong Kaidou's Busou-shoku no Haki was. However, Uteki's might also became evident from the clash. The fact that she was able to escape the clash pretty much unharmed against a man like Kaidou, spoke volumes of her ability.

However, this was not a duel. Kaidou was facing two enemies. Uteki, and then his own daughter, Yamato. When Uteki was blown away, Yamato, who had jumped, descended down upon Kaidou. However, a significant change had taken place. Yamato had transformed into her hybrid form - and by the looks of it, she was worthy of her father's DNA. One look at Yamato, and one was able to see how powerful she was. She was the eater of a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, namely the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami. In her hybrid form, she was a half woman half wolf, wielding her trusty spiked kanabo. As she descended toward Kaidou, she inhaled deeply, to the point where she arched her back. And then she attacked.

Namuji Hyoga...!



Exhaling, Yamato unleashed an immensely powerful and widescale beam of cold and ice. The beam of cold and ice descended upon Kaidou, engulfing him and the area around him. Frost and an icy wind ravaged the area, and the battle was clearly entering a higher stage and level, as worthy of its participants.

(Ichi: You should read the Sasaki part in the bottom at least)

Vice Admirals Leo and Kallavan raided the two warships. Leo employed a more focused attack, well aware that simple Rokushiki techniques would be able to take out all of those onboard. Kallavan went with a more widespread approach, albeit perhaps accidentally, and unleashed a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki for - perhaps - his first time. Due to his inexperience with this powerful form of Haki, Kallavan's Conqueror's Haki came out with enough power to physically damage the warship that he was on, on top of knocking everyone out. Some parts of the warship were cracked, and whether the warship was safe for sailing was anyone's guess. However, the warship that Leo was on, was in peak condition. Seeing Kallavan's performance, Leo was impressed.

That young boy that showed such courage decades ago... is now a King. I'm not surprised.

Leo said to himself, before calling out to Kallavan.

Alright let's bring them back to port! I'm not much of a helmsman, but two Vice Admirals should at least be able to get the ships going!

Leo said.

And with that, he started bringing the warship back into port.


@Ichimonji
In the meantime, Sasaki finally managed to reach Onigashima, using the unconscious Queen's fat ass as a boat. Once they hit the shore, Sasaki cuffed Queen's ankles with Kairouseki cuffs and then smacked him over the head with a scabbard, waking him up. When Queen came to, he was still weak - partially because of the beating he had received from Sasaki earlier, and partially because the Kairouseki around his ankles was constantly weakening him and sapping away his strength. Sasaki knew that Queen's only chance of escape and survival was with Kaidou's help, and so Sasaki had Queen guide them to Kaidou. The two started to traverse Onigashima, and eventually started to approach the front entrance of Onigashima - the mouth of the gigantic skull. Once the duo arrived there, they would see La Spada, Medusa, and the two samurais, Kawamatsu and Kyoshiro, arrived at the same time. Standing atop the entrance with his wings spread wide and proud, was King, who blocked their way into the depths of Onigashima.

With this accidental run-in of Beast Pirates, La Spada Pirates, samurais and a Marine, things were bound to get dangerous before any of them even truly entered Onigashima.

Onigashima Gate
Death was the first off the boat, her skeleton toes clanking against the ground. Her aura glistened upon the giant skull and the giant sword sticking out of what La Spada felt many souls inhabited, finding their death on this dark ground How fitting, though The Grim. Fitting for the strongest to collide. Fitting for Death to come and collect.

The group was stopped by a presence grand. Here, in the gate, stood King “The Conflagration”. They had barely stepped foot in Onigashima and a beast had levied threats of death. Or so it would seem to the samurais. It was not so for all of them. Much to their shock, La Spada saw it another way, and her deep dark voice echoed, her response fitting for a future Yonko.

[La Spada] “Why yah’ insolent fledging. Haven’t I slapped yah’ around enough for one day...?”

Utter disrespect.

La Spada did not even look at King when she mocked him. The spread of his wings in intimidation fell short; this was Death. Here stood Kaido’s second in command and The Grim seemed to consider him chump change. After fighting Kaido, that’s what King was in her mind - a testament to the great Yonko. Only the Strongest Beast blood made her churn. The samurais would likely wonder: who is this being, spitting on the face of a Billion Beri man?

Instead of acknowledging King with her eyes, La Spada’s peered into the distance. Not too many things escaped Death, and strong prescences were one of them. Red light trailing her eyes, Awareness alerted the Grim of two strong presences before they arrived, one much stronger than the other one. Medusa stood in front of La Spada and the gate where King stood, albeit it nervous.

One, however, did not show a glimmer of concern. Sarcastic words rolled off the black rotting tongue.

[La Spada] “Love tah’ kill yah this time, mah’ fair prince, but it seems we have visitors. Kaidou’s death will have to wait. Kuhahahahaha!!!!”
A hubristic response, degrading the man from King to Prince. La Spada took a puff of her cigar, white smoke with flickers of green light billowing. King need no longer ponder what La Spada was searching for in Onigashima.

@kakashi19283

Akira’s attack work against the group of shinobi, it is in fact seemly out of their league in regards to their opponent which prompts them not to attack further. Shogun Orochi would quickly change his attitude, suddenly pleading Akira for help. There is a case for Orochi being attacked for sure, as the man is not popular with the people of Flower Capital as it seems back when Akira is still in the capital, that much is certain. However, the attacks are quite specifically targeted upon Akira rather than Orochi, as he was the one being attacked – Orochi’s enemies are unlikely to be an enemy of the Spada Pirates as he may not know the reason for the Flower Capital takeover is due to Spada Pirates’ intervention, which are the only possibilities so far in terms of Orochi’s enemies in Wano. However, whether what Orochi said is to be true, it did not matter. Akira expected something like this back then so he wasn’t taken aback. Rather, it further exploits a weakness into Orochi towards the young boy.

Even if it is Orochi’s bodyguards, they have no real method of taking down Akira and now Orochi is left to his own devices, and even if they are not then Orochi only way of survival is getting to Kaido, thereby increasing the need for him to get there. Orochi reeks of desperation, but this could technically be the same for Akira, as his only method to get to Onigashima is to rely upon the Shogun himself. The only difference is that one is more screwed than the other. With no further actions appeared from the assailants, Orochi seems to quickly picked up his pace – perhaps willing to risk survival in Onigashima rather than purposefully delay the journey, either way Orochi didn’t have much choice. Without speaking further words, Akira would follow Orochi forward but for a very brief moment where he stops and gaze into the forest, as if staring into nothingness. Should the shinobis lurk around the forest quietly before leaving, they may felt a sudden sense of intimidation, even if it’s only for a very short while.

Akira would then follow Orochi to the sea, past the forest. A well decorated ship could be seen awaiting Orochi and his unexpected stranger. Not willing to risk Orochi attacking him by surprise or even disappearing out of nowhere, Akira would follow the Shogun but stays relatively in a safe distance where he can keep track of Orochi’s movements. This however will be made awkward and very uncomfortable for Orochi, if he has yet to truly think about it. The eyes of the Assassin are not completely fixated upon Orochi, as if the young boy expects more company, or unexpected situation to arise.

And so, the journey to Onigashima for Akira and Orochi begins.

Pearls of Wisdom of all the masters of smithing have been infused into his mind. Unearthly powers have been bestowed by the lords of darkness through the legendary scythe-hammer. And as Gambit underwent the process of conquering the souls of the weapon to make them his own, he triumphed and became the supreme lord of darkness. A new power was born.

A shivering aura burst open the moment the prince wielded the weapon. A screeching sound that splits the airspace around him. A trembling phenomenon that bends the light and space like a mirage. Color of the Supreme!

The Wano smith was able to withstand this phenomenon, signifying his strong willpower. After this display of dominion, Tengu would speak about the power behind the weapon the prince is yet to muster and master. He would acknowledge everything. But one thing is certain, a bond has been chained between the two smiths.

"I couldn't thank you enough, Hitetsu. To be honest, I was meaning to kill you before I came here but all of those were history. I have already found who I am and what I want to be."

Hitetsu would show the way onto Onigashima albeit Gambit already knew this. He turned his back and faced the horizon that would lead to Kaido. Demonic wings sprouted from his back. After that, he would press a button on his belt only for a dark set of suits to emerge, followed by a pair of steel gauntlet gloves. And lastly, a chilling shield made of titanium and skeleton.

"Shinigami no Tekken huh? I like the name.", he added.

And with that, Gambit leaped into the sky before vanishing in the mists of the ruins.

Wano @kakashi19283 @Sea

Kallavan's burst subsided and he looked around for any awake crew members. So far there wasn't a single soul up after this encounter. But the ship was in a rather bad state. His first field test with kings haki went so-so. He achieved his effect in knocking out these souls but also damaged the ship. He hoped it'd be able to make the crossing to Kaido's island. He'd exhale as he looked over to Leo who shouted his next intent in bringing the samurai to their ships. But they'd need a whole lot more space than one ship. Kallavan would call out to Leo for him to stop but his words were in vain. The man was long gone by the time his words would reach his ears. Kallavan would roll up his sleeves and went to work. While he was not the best navigator in the world he still had basic training in commandeering a vessel. A Vice-Admiral who could not steer a ship in a singular direction was a dumb thought. Luckily Leo's sudden burst away from the other vessel would allow Kallavan to trail his smoke towards the land they came from. He'd navigate the waters in this singular route calmly and with the best control, he could muster. This would mean that before long at least one vessel arrived on the shore. The rest would be able to make the trip with Leo who'd bring them back to the other vessel. Allowing the other samurai and yakuza to finally board the ships.

"Let's hope this works." Kallavan prayed softly. He did not wish to sink this boat for he had damaged it too extensively already.

Habu Port #27
@QuickZilver708 @kakashi19283

Two ships were return to Habu Port shortly as both marines managed to brought the ships back, one that is visibly damage but still sea-worthy, the other took little to no damage. Kikunojo on the other hand tried to look for survivors, and thankfully he did. Managing to find only a couple of survivors from Habu Port, Kikunojo watched as the two ships docked on to destroyed port. With the bombardment stopped, the port is now somewhat safer to use, as some of the survivors starts to put out the fires around. Kikunojo would survey the state of the two ships, deciding to take the ship that is in the better state. Leaving the other ship by the docks.

“We should go.”

Kikunojo would quickly board the ship with the two marines, though he would take the reins as the helmsman being more experienced in it. This would also allow Kallavan and Leo to rest if they so needed and better deal with situations as they come. The trio would set off into the foggy sea whilst the few survivors would try to put off fires on their own, though instructions were left by Kikunojo in regards to the plan and the other ship.

Soon afterwards, the ship would rather quickly make its way deeper into the fog, thanks to the wind already blowing southwards, this made it faster for them to get into Onigashima. And then, two larger warships could be spotted in the horizon, similar to how Sasaki have once crossed paths with. The fog is thick, making it really difficult to see much, but for the marines and Kikunojo, this is time where the Kallavan and Leo have to make the decision, do they try to sneak past the ships or do they try to destroy the ships? The outcome of their decisions may benefit or be a detriment later on however.

Sasaki/Queen (@kakashi19283 @Ichimonji)
As both of them would traverse closer to the entrance of Onigashima, right in front of Queen and Sasaki, the hostage and the kidnapper – have encountered a situation both dangerous and beneficial to Queen and Sasaki depending on how things would have turned out. In front of them, King and La Spada – the biggest players in the situation are in a stand-off, and Queen understood the situation well, having regain most of his vitality despite the effects of Seastone and the injury he sustained back in Udon, even without great strength – Queen knew he have to acquire their attention, most importantly he needs King’s attention.

Whether or not Sasaki would try to interfere at this point didn’t truly matter anymore, even if Sasaki would attack Queen in this time, the situation will only get worse for the marine. Queen would pick up the pace, his large body is now the greatest trait he would have. Just by walking in public even with the fog, it is easy to see the large silhouette from where King stood. And for King, it is fairly easy conclusion to make of the obvious silhouette of someone he has seen for a long time.

Uteki had successfully defended herself. However, her attack didn't complete its second goal. Which was to inflict damage to Kaidou's weapon. As the impact from the clash sent her back, Yamato soon took her place. She was finally on the move again. Things were looking up. At least, compared to a moment ago. Yamato, like her father, had evidently consumed a Mythical Zoan type Devil Fruit. She was in some sort of hybrid form and unleashed a powerful ice breath against Kaidou. Uteki wasn't going to just sit and watch. Quickly recovering from the knockback, she unleashes an attack of her own.

A rather large sword of blood is quickly formed in the air above Uteki and launched at an angle towards Kaidou. It would come in from above Yamato and her attack, and upon striking either Kaidou or the ground, it would ignite into pinkish flames. Flames that were hot enough to inflict major burns on whoever they hit. What's more is that the air around Kaidou that had been cooled down from Yamato's attack was rapidly heated up by Uteki's flames. Resulting in a shock-wave due to the rapidly rising pressure. It would also be accompanied by a loud noise. The shock-wave produced would also speed up the blood shrapnel that was created as a result of the sword's impact. Making the second part of her attack stronger. Without realizing it, Uteki and Yamato were teaming up quite well.

"Ragnarok!"

Ragnarok- A massive sword of blood is formed in the air above Uteki and launched downwards at an angle. Upon impact, the sword bursts and sends a violent spray of condensed blood shrapnel in every direction. (71 Mastery, 71 Strength | A-Rank, AoE)

Uteki's DPR: 7 (120 DF) + 3 (A-Rank) = 10. Island Level

Onigashima @Ichimonji @Sea

A grand battle against Kaidou was definitely the pinnacle of things happening in Wano on this day - however, there was a battle just as important that was about to take place right at the doorstep of Onigashima. A strong Marine, who had one of Kaidou's top men captured. Another one of Kaidou's top men serving as the gatekeeper. An up and coming and potential future Yonkou, La Spada, with the samurai of Wano backing her. These parties ran into one another at the worst of times in the worst of places, and a conflict would without a doubt arise. La Spada, able to gaze at - and feel - souls, after the exchange with King, took notice of Sasaki and Queen. She alerted King to the arrival of Sasaki and Queen, and King, if he looked over in that direction, would be quite to recognize his fellow Calamity, albeit a silhouette, due to his distinct body type. The fog cleared up enough for Sasaki and Queen to come into view. Queen picked up his pace, but Sasaki was quick to make a fool of the fat man. Grabbing one of the scabbards on his hip, he stuck it into the chain that was binding Queen's ankles, likely causing the fat man to trip and fall over face first into the ground. Between Sasaki's enormous advantage in speed, the fact that Queen was facing away from him, and the fact that Queen was still heavily weakened, increased the chances of that happening manyfold. With a grin on his face, Sasaki put the scabbard back onto his hip and eyed both La Spada and King.

Oh boy... what do we have here? That's a lot for an old man like me to handle alone...

Sasaki said, pointing toward the fact that it was multiple pirates against him.

So, how are we doing this, ladies and gentlemen? How about we gang up on King over there? We're all trying to get to Kaidou after all...

Sasaki said, King grimacing. Sasaki had cut straight to the point. What would La Spada's choice be?

The Forest @Sea

Akira was successful in pushing away the ambush. Shogun Orochi, realizing his situation, adapted his plan, instead portraying the situation as dangerous to him - and that the attackers were potentially trying to get him killed, perhaps after getting Akira out of the way. Shogun Orochi then led the way to the secret port, where a ship awaited. Boarding it, Akira followed, keeping a safe distance and a good amount of alertness to make sure that no further ambushes came - but at the same time staying close enough to Shogun Orochi to make sure that he could not make a run for it.

For now, none of those things occurred, and the ship set sail. Between the captured and the one doing the capturing, there was no reason for conversation, so the sailing remained rather quiet, and with the quietness, came tenseness. Anything could happen at any moment, and so both Shogun Orochi and Akira had to stay on their toes.

Out of nowhere, the man handling the ship suddenly turned the steering wheel to the right in an aggressive fashion, taking an extremely sudden and sharp right turn. Things went flying all over and Shogun Orochi was no different. He came crashing against some of the controls that were obviously present here in the control room. Visibly angered, he lashed out against the helmsman.

Watch what you're doing you incompetent fool!

Shogun Orochi said and the helmsman immediately apologized. Little did Akira know, all of this was staged and prepared in advance. The sudden sharp turn was meant to normalize the fact that Shogun Orochi went flying off his feet and allowed him to come crashing against the controls. There, he pressed a certain button, and then lashed out against the helmsman, making it look like it was all an accident. But it wasn't. The button that Shogun Orochi had pressed had a purpose. And now, all it would take was a couple of minutes of sailing, and things would really take a turn for a new direction.

Kuri @Gambit

OOC: Shorter update for you, since it's just a transition post.

With the Shinigami no Ken finally in Gambit's hand, the man thanked the legendary smith, who nodded and saw Gambit off. The still self-proclaimed prince would take into the sky and take off in the cardinal direction of Onigashima.

There was a fair distance to Onigashima, however Gambit was not sailing a ship - but rather flying through the air with blistering speeds. Around him, he saw fog and clouds. Below him, he saw all of Wano. Ahead of him, at some point, he saw his destination. Onigashima. The island of death, shaped like a skull. As he flew overhead, he would see a number of presences at the entrance to Onigashima. There, La Spada and her subordinate Medusa, along with two samurai of Wano, had run into a strong Marine named Sasaki, who had captured Queen - and blocking their way was another one of Kaidou's Calamities, King.

There was clearly a conflict that would arise there, however to Gambit, this could signal an advantage. An opportunity. After all, La Spada and the Marines were his competition on this day. Everyone was after Kaidou, and Gambit would like to get there first. With the others having run into a conflict at the entrance of Onigashima, Gambit, unnoticed and unexpected, could swoop past King and head into the depths of Onigashima ahead of both La Spada and Sasaki. Alternatively, he could stay around at the entrance, though that could, perhaps, lead to a load of trouble for the young pirate.

The decision was his, and although the choice was obvious, one could never know with the unpredictable kind.

Onigashima @tlgRen

Deeper inside Onigashima, two individuals had already reached the Yonkou Kaidou. Yamato, the daughter of Kaidou, and Uteki. Whether it was a good thing to have found Kaidou or not, remained to be seen, for the two women had no backup against this seemingly invincible foe - but it was without a doubt that everyone notable on Wano wanted to find Kaidou right about now, and so having found him first surely presented an opportunity. Whether that opportunity could be capitalized on or not, also, remained to be seen. For now, the two worked well together. Yamato, having transformed into a mythical half woman half wolf, leapt overhead and unleashed a powerful icy breath down toward Kaidou. Uteki, wanting to get in on the action, also prepared an attack of her own, creating a blood weapon that she hurled toward the man from above. The icy breath engulfed Kaidou, and the blood weapon ripped into the obscurity, leading to a fiery eruption and a shockwave soon thereafter.

The combined attack led to a significant amount of obscurity kicking up. But, before long, it started to fade away, and the silhouette of Kaidou could be seen within. A powerful, girthy reptilian tail slammed into the ground, and a man covered in scales stepped forward. Kaidou had transformed into a half human half dragon, a form where he was potentially at his most threatening, still holding his spiked kanabo in his hand.



No significant injuries could be seen on Kaidou, nor were there frozen or burned parts about his persona.

Yamato's and Uteki's DPRs: 10. Island Level

Kaidou's Durability: 8. Island Level + COA: +2 (invisible COA at 120) = 10. Large Country Level

DPR 2 or more below durability: Not very effective

Wororororo... you two work well together. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought you were sisters.

Kaidou said, joking on the fact that he was Yamato's father, and he knew she had no sister. Yamato landed next to Uteki, bracing herself for an attack that was, without a doubt, coming. Intense flames started to roll around within Kaidou's mouth as he inhaled. Then, with a powerful breath, he exhaled an enormous beam of fire, clad with black Busou-shoku no Haki. The burst of fire ripped toward the two women with great speed - and enough power to hollow out a mountain. Was there any surviving this?

DPR: 120: 7. Town Level + S+:+5 + COA: +3 = 15. Moon Level

OOC: Aight so just to mention this here as well, Guren and I sort of talked about it and we agreed that the ship will just go undamaged. The whole ''damaging accident'' was sort of pushed onto him without any canon premise, as Conqueror's Haki has been used in the manga multiple times by inexperienced people or even accidentally, and it never resulted in accidental physical collateral damage. Quite the opposite, the only time it did cause physical damage, was when intently used by Shanks, who is likely the most skilled user of it in the manga. If Guren had mentioned himself that the accident occurred, that would have been fine, but someone else putting it on him is essentially controlling his character, which is not allowed. This also gets rid of the somewhat awkward situation of him bringing the ship back just for it to be left there for no reason. xD

The two Vice Admirals, Leo and Kallavan, rather dominantly secured the two warships, taking care of any opposition without any problem whatsoever. Such was to be expected of two experienced Vice Admirals. When the two warships were brought back into port, the samurai were able to board, and it was time to head to Onigashima.

The samurai, luckily, knew how to steer a ship, and so Leo and Kallavan were not forced to do what they did not excel in. Instead, at least as far as Leo goes, he simply remained on the lookout for any potential enemies. After all, being a fighting powerhouse was what Leo was best at. As the trip went on, the two warships sailed through a veil of fog, which decreased visibility. In one sense, this was bad, as it could lead to an ambush - but alternatively, it allowed the two Vice Admirals and the samurai army to approach Onigashima relatively unnoticed. That was an advantage, and being susceptible to an ambush was a small price to pay, especially considering Leo and Kallavan could likely deal with any kind of ambush to begin with.

Eventually, enough distance was covered within the fog for some visibility to arise. Not too far away, two more large warships came into sight. The two warships, and whoever was aboard them, had not noticed them yet, but they would cross paths without a doubt. Leo turned toward Kallavan's direction and spoke.

I'll go in first! I can see the future, so I'll be fine inside this fog. I'll be the distraction, you guys sail around them and flank them!

Leo said, before facing back toward the two warships in the distance. Bending his knees, he pushed off of the deck and took into the air. Instead of propelling himself with fire, Leo would utilize Kamisori, taking advantage of the foggy surroundings. He would approach the two warships from above. Once there, if there was no reason to believe that these warships belonged to allies, Leo would start an attack to get their attention. From up in the sky, he would kick, unleashing a Rankyaku toward one of the two warships. Leo held back, so the Rankyaku would not cut the warship in half - but it would deal quite a bit of damage and rock the vessel nonetheless.

Onigashima Gate
The dust settled. Three high-powered beings stood in a stalemate, with a fourth eating dirt, literally. They all recognized Queen. La Spada laughed audibly at the sight of what the Calamity was reduced to, cackling with glee. From Queen to bishop, from bishop to pawn.

The one who held Queen captive was a Marine, his officer’s coat showing his hierarchy. La Spada felt his power through Awareness, sensing his power not too far off from Spada and King. This land was a grand call for the strongest. The man, aged, cut to the chase: team-up against King.

The thought was met with a lamenting voice.

[La Spada] “What kind of person would I be if I didn’t help tha’ elderly? Why yah” may break a hip! Would be so sad if yah’ keeled over!”
The Grim’s face was turned into worry. She frowned her lips and made a face of concern for the newcomer. Her killing aura leaked out, signaling the obvious sarcasm, illustrating the newcomer’s own bluff of his own age. Suddenly, Shodai Kitetsu shook in her sheathe. The sword jumped out without the call of La Spada, with killing intent of its own, grabbed mid-air by boney hands. Was La Spada accepting the offer?

La Spada turned slightly to Sasaki, tone cut with more derision.
[La Spada] “Don’t worry, ojjisan. Yah’ can trust me. Kuahahahaha!!”

Cackling echoed. Medusa bore her fangs on Shodai Kitetsu. Venom, or Toxia, coated her captain’s blade. A more sharp killing intent came from both the blade and La Spada. The question remained, who was it directed to? It was impossible to tell in the depths of intent.

Medusa turned to the samurais, telling them to stand back with her - they would be collateral damage. Medusa had her eyes fixed on Queen.


Toxia Coating Channeling energy through their scales, the reptilian covers their weapon in a layer of toxins that will poison on contact.

Orochi’s Boat #26
@kakashi19283

Akira would allow the boat to move into the sea as the helmsman would drive the transport towards Onigashima presumably, nothing would happen eventually throughout the journey, the fog came and eventually would consume the ship as it sail into the horizon. But then something happened, for absolutely no reason the ship made a sharp turn, causing Akira to be taken off surprised, even prompting him to drive his sword into the ship’s floor in reaction. This coupled with the turn cause the sword to act as an anchor to the ship, stabilizing Akira’s posture as he shifts to the alongside with the end of the turn. This led to the damaged flooring of the ship as the sword cuts a singular long line into the ship, though the damage is superficial and is easily repaired anyway.

Orochi pressed a button in his actions and movements, but Akira isn’t a helmsman nor versed in the ship controls, thus he did not realize what actually happened as Orochi casually scolded the helmsman, but what he did know is that the sudden turn made by the helmsman was incredibly suspicious, considering there is nothing in front of them so far that would force the helmsman to do so, not even a warning was made. No reasoning was given from the helmsman as well. However, considering that Orochi had literally nowhere to go, either back to mainland or to Onigashima – it is quite unlikely no matter what scheme he have in mind, he was on a ship in the middle of the sea as a Devil Fruit user, Akira is not. With the ship made a change in direction, Akira would quickly interject to the helmsman.

“If you are wasting my time, I will kill you as well. Right now you have no reason to side with Orochi, he is no longer the Shogun in Wano as La Spada is now the ruler. Once we make landfall in Onigashima, he will die and you will not, and unless you wish to join him and see to a fate worse than death with La Spada, bring me to Onigashima now.”

Akira threatens the helmsman, but made his intentions very clear, the helmsman will avoid death as long as he does what the boy ordered so. Orochi no longer as power, that much is very clear to the helmsman – he would be foolish not to understand the power dynamics at play. At the same time, such wordings are also made to ensure the helmsman would understand his own position, his loyalty with Orochi. Technically there is no real reason to continue follow Orochi’s orders, as right now Orochi isn’t the only one whom seem to know the direction toward Onigashima, as the helmsman himself is aware of the direction, as such Orochi’s value alive right now may be diminishing.

As long as the helmsman understood the situation he is in, Akira could only wait till something else develops for the time being. Upholding his deal with Orochi to allow him to run towards Kaido before hunting him down.

The clouds are thick, ominous, thunders clap. Waves dance like mad, it would rack any ship that dares to traverse it. But Gambit fears no nature. After drifting slightly above the surface of the sea and almost cutting the water with his speed he soared into the darkened sky, wearing just a black coat so that his upper body is displayed, flexing his ripped chest and abdomen - this isn't an ordinary suit though for it gives him an added defense on top of his already sturdy physique. A black skinny pants with a thick black leather belt that holsters a variety of equipment. Should you see him, he holsters the newly forged scythe-hammer which power lies deep in the underworld within his belt. His forearms, equipped with a pair of demonic gauntlets, bestowed him an added force. His left arm, wielding a human's spine; what it would bring forth remains a mystery.

As an experienced navigator and warrior, the prince capitalized on both, spreading his sonic ability across the area. There he would notice a variety of threats back on the sea. He pushed, and he is way above the scenes of the entrance of Onigashima, he would not be seen nor felt by anyone even if he stayed for a while to survey the vicinity. He would find, due to his extremely sharp senses future legends back on the ground. He chuckled. Looks like I would meet the mastermind first.

He progressed. As he passed over the huge skull, he would scan the very facility only to find numerous hindrances within. He would not waste any time going in there. He continued to fly, below him are corridors and stairways that would lead elsewhere. But finally, a much larger opening burst open his senses. It was an absolutely massive square-shaped area. The hall where Kaido was in. With him, two relatively strong figures. He was able to get the shape and curves of their bodies. And for a moment, he felt a mixture of dread and excitement. The demon and the sin of lust spoke within his mind. "Here I thought you've already conquered me, my Lord."

"Silence! I learned how to control you."

"Muahahahahaha! Fine..."


And with that, he sought Namor through his advanced phone system. "Namor."

"I am at the back door of the island."
, the prince of Atlantia said.

"Alright... Be careful... For I will be occupied hereon."

As they conclude the conversation, Gambit hovering over the place of the main battle took his time to witness the scene. It was rather overwhelming for the two other figures present. But none of them are his allies. However, he's got no time to delay anything. After lighting up a cigar, the prince of darkness dove into the earth. As he did, a huge explosion occurred. And once the obscurity has cleared, Landayan Morrow would emerge meters behind Kaido's back.

Gambit would rapidly transform into his Hybrid Vampire Form, boosting his abilities. After a single puff on his cigar, he would speak. "Let's finish what we started."

He would then turn to the ladies before him, "Miladies, I don't need to see the two of you getting scathed before my very eyes. You two can relax."

He would draw his newfound weapon from his right holster, cladding it with Dark Haki. He slightly bent his knees in order to push with such momentum. Dashing forth Kaido, he would swing the weapon which head and edge were built from his old scythe that Tengu melted. It was light but incredibly heavy. It was fierce, the wind surrounding it whistle as he swung it across. He aimed for his head.

Wano @kakashi19283 @Sea

With a ship now acquired both the samurai, yakuza and the two Admirals made their way towards Onigashima. Leo would be on the lookout observing if any potential threat loomed around. But, thankfully the thick fog was a natural shield for the invasion force. It wouldn't take long though for it to dissipate naturally. And with that came two other ships in view, an ambush or something else? Kallavan was ready to partake in yet another round of combat. But Leo quickly intervene, arguing that with his advanced Mantra he'd be the better fit to go out into the open. No reason to put their strongest force away so early. Kallavan would nod in silence, agreeing with his senior's assessment. When did he acquire such mastery of mantra? The man did wonder a few moments after Leo had left. "You heard the man. Let's go and try to flank them!" Kallavan said, repeating the strategy Leo had created.

While the ship would, hopefully, move around the warships. Kallavan would observe the results of Leo's first round of attack. A singular rankyaku was launched towards one of the ships. But power was kept in check heavily as to not destroy the vessel. The man was simply baiting. To see if these ships were in fact a threat and not a bait themselves from something. Or someone else. Kallavan would try to look around to the best of his abilities. But the still ever-present fog made it a harder task than anticipated. "Hmmm" He let out with worry.

The rumors didn't do Kaidou's durability justice. Even after that dual assault he doesn't look any worse for wear. All it served to do was either anger him, or cause him to take the two more seriously, as he was now in his hybrid form. It was hard for Uteki to tell. There wouldn't much leeway in this battle though. Kaidou unleashed a massive attack after mocking or complimenting the two. Again, it was hard for Uteki to tell. Kaidou inhaled conspicuously. Uteki didn't want to gamble her life away, and so as a precaution she prepared her own attack as he did.

"Tsunami!"

A large destructive wave of blood is formed and is headed toward Kaidou as he releases his own attack. As the two attacks collide, Uteki hardens the portion of her wave that made contact with Kaidou's beam. The attacks struggle for a few moments, but Kaidou's soon overwhelms the blood wave and continues towards the two. Uteki grips her blade and prepares another last ditch defense, assuming Yamato doesn't intervene as well. This was a 2v1 fight after all. Meanwhile, the blood from the wave that was not hardened would crash around Kaidou. This would do nothing right now, but it would open up more options for Uteki in the future.

Tsunami- A massive wave of blood is formed and launched towards a target. The force behind it is quite massive and is guaranteed to leave destruction in its wake. (91 Mastery | S-Rank AoE)

7 (120 DF) + 4 (S-Rank) + 2 (Haki) = 13. Small Continent.

13. Small Continent vs 15. Moon = Kaidou wins, 2 Remaining DPR.

Assuming Yamato doesn't deal with the remainder, Uteki's durability is: 101-119: 6. City Level

With the insistence of the Yakuza by the two Vice-Admirals that they are at Habu Port, the Yakuza groups led by several leaders of the Yakuza and Ashura Doji now magically appears at lightning speed despite the improbability of their arrival before the warships are acquired. With this, Kikunoji no longer have to decide which ship to leave behind for Ashura Doji and the Yakuza to make their way to Onigashima on their own. As such, the entire group is able to leave the port together, three Yakuza leaders could be seen, Hyogoro, Cho and Yatappe, though they took it upon themselves to take the other ship and follow the samurai-marine led ship, armed to the teeth with weapons and armour – aiming to help bring the war to Kaido and the Beast Pirates right to their doorsteps, whether for revenge for the imprisonment or to wrestle away the control of Wano from the Beast Pirates is up for questioning, but at this moment in time they are definitely allies to help fight the Emperor.

As the two warships set off into the fog, they would soon find two ships over the horizon where Leo would quickly leave the ship to investigate the opposing ships. Kikunojo understood that they might get into a naval battle started to take turn the ship towards portside, which led the other ship to do so. The Yakuza members that was in the same ship as the marine immediately shuffles around and get ready for a fight, loading up cannons and weaponry. Even Kallavan’s without orders, the people of Wano seems to understand immediately what to do, taking a slight detour as Kikunojo positions the ship towards one of the ship’s bow, making sure that their ship do not take fire later on from their position. The other ship however merely follow suit as they could not listen to the instructions.

Leo would go above the mysterious warships and took a peek of what is going on, his concerns were spot on. With a kick, Leo would fire a Rankyaku towards one of the ship, the attack was obvious from a distance away but not for the victims as the speed of the attack disturbs the fog very easily. A loud sound of the ship getting damaged could be heard as the Rankyaku pierces through the targeted ship, though not one that the allied ships have flanked – yet it is a signal for the allies to immediately fire upon the other one, one ship by one ship, scores of cannon fire would barrage its victim, taking massive damage out of nowhere as the crew scrambles to return fire as fast as they could. Firing upon the Yakuza ship thanks to being prepared early when Kaido ordered ports to be destroyed. The other ship now being distracted by Leo would started to move their ship to reinforce the other ship as the crew took up rifles and shoot high up into the sky where the air blade is last seen.

The naval fight would sound a signal in a sense, that battle is coming very quickly for those aren’t aware of the upcoming battle to take place, loud noise enough for most people to hear it especially those not inside Onigashima.

Onigashima (@Ichimonji)
Before Queen could reach King, Sasaki would quickly trip the All-Star – forcing him to tumble and fell. But not before long as Sasaki would leave him and approach King that Queen got up and almost immediately tried to hide away into fog, taking a detour towards King rather than straightforward where people can see him easily. Whether or not Medusa could ultimately see him or not, Queen has to get into Onigashima – he would have to leave it to King until he has the cuffs off for the seastone cuffs is the priority at this moment.

Of course should King have men around him then this would simply make it easier for Queen to get the cuffs off. But for now, all Queen has to do now is to sneak away and get back to the fight later on. Or King could simply pick him up and return to Kaido for the time being. The cannon fire from the seas could be heard from where they stood, soon more allies would come soon, and La Spada's position may no longer be all that safe if things take too long.

Onigashima Entrance @Ichimonji @Sea

P.S. I didn't ''walk toward King'' or walk away from Queen at any point, just to clear that up. I re-checked my previous post, just in case I missed it though lemme know.

Sasaki, holding Queen hostage, entered the faceoff between La Spada and King. Quick to try to get a strategic upperhand, the shrewd old man tried to get La Spada to help him take out King. La Spada replied in her perpetually mysterious fashion, agreeing to Sasaki's proposal, though one could never truly count on La Spada to uphold her end of the bargain. That said, Sasaki is a Marine and La Spada is a pirate, so the trust was never going to be there anyway. But, for now, it seemed that they would indeed gang up on King. Queen, trying to capitalize on the two holding a conversation, tried to make a run for it again. The fat bastard never seemed to give up. But, with all of his injuries, exhaustion, and the Kairouseki keeping him in check, there was really no making it. Comically annoyed, Sasaki blitzed past Queen, swung a scabbard and slammed Queen over the head with it with enough strength to destroy a concrete wall. Queen would likely be knocked out once again.

This one never gives up huh?

Anyway, let's do this, what do you say, my new friend?


Sasaki said to La Spada. Sasaki put the scabbard that he had just attacked with back on his hip. The two normal katanas were, thus, sheathed on his hip, while the long one was sheathed on his back. Sasaki unsheathed the long one from his back and wielded it with both hands, assuming a stance. Then, pushing off of the ground, he disappeared from sight and appeared atop the skull, behind King. Holding the katana overhead, Sasaki swung it vertically downward, aiming to slash King's back and wings. Black Busou-shoku no Haki clad the katana and Kairouseki laced it, making this for a most dangerous attack.

DPR: 101-119: 6. City Block Level + A:+3 (no technique, just due to sword rank) + COA: +2 = 11. Small Country Level

King, tracing Sasaki's movements successfully, jumped forward and off of the skull, avoiding Sasaki's attack. King then started to fly toward La Spada with great speed. After his attack missed, Sasaki comically waved toward La Spada with his left hand and shouted.

Oiiii, he's coming over to you!

Sasaki, Captain Obvious, stated.

The Sea @Sea

The helmsman took a sharp turn, sending everything within the cabin flying. That included a couple of unsecured items, as well as Shogun Orochi. However, that chaotic event was preplanned, and it allowed Orochi to press a button that would call for help. Akira, clearly annoyed by the situation in the sense that the two were potentially up to something, made it clear to the helmsman that it was not in his interest to help Shogun Orochi, and that as long as they made it to Onigashima, Akira would let the helmsman go. He also made it clear that the helmsman did not need to help Shogun Orochi out of fear - for the Shogun was no longer the ruler of the Flower Capital. That was now La Spada. The helmsman, distraught by the situation that he was in, assured Akira that the sharp turn was but a bad judgement call.

I-I'm sorry, I just thought I saw a large shadow in the water. I will b-bring us to Onigashima s-safely...!

The helmsman said, stuttering. Little did Akira know, that was all a lie - there was no shadow, and the helmsman was still on Shogun Orochi's side. Perhaps it was true that the Shogun no longer held power, but there was no verifying that while they were at sea, and even then, Shogun Orochi's long rule instilled quite some loyalty, especially in men like this helmsman, who held an important role and position - this helmsman, in particular, being Shogun Orochi's personal emergency ticket out of a bad situation.

The voyage continued for a few minutes, until finally, the help arrived. From a distance away, from within the fog, a very thin beam suddenly pierced the cabin through the front window, aiming straight for Akira's head. If Akira got out of the way successfully, the attack would pierce the back part of the cabin. If Akira analyzed what it was, he would quite quickly realize this attack was composed of a thin web-like material fired like a beam, and imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki.

If Akira looked around after the surprise attack, he would see that Shogun Orochi was gone. A web had captured him and pulled him out of the cabin. In front of the ship, an enemy ship came out of the veil of fog. On the opposing ship, hanging upside down off of the front of the ship, was a half woman half spider. From the fingers on her left hand, she was producing web, and held inside the web, was Shogun Orochi. The woman licked her lips, speaking toward Akira.

You'd done quite a number on our little Shogun, boy.

The woman said, smiling.

Onigashima @Gambit @tlgRen

Yonkou Kaidou's battle escalated as both he and his daughter transformed. Yamato's and Uteki's combined attacks barely scathed Kaidou, who fought back with a counterattack of his own. Inhaling deeply, the mountain of a man unleashed a monstrous beam of fire, headed straight for Yamato and Uteki. Uteki fought back with a powerful wave of blood. Part of the blood that struck the beam of fire head on, hardened with black Busou-shoku no Haki, hoping to hold Kaidou's attack off - but to no avail. The Bolo Breath managed to break through, heading for the two women. Uteki was ready to fend the rest of the attack off, but Yamato beat her to it, swinging her black Busou-shoku no Haki enhanced spiked club. The club struck what was left of the Bolo Breath, sending it off to the side. The liquid blood that Uteki had hoped would reach Kaidou's area, however, had been evaporated by the Bolo Breath.

The trio were at a standstill, though it was clear Kaidou was still not taking the fight too seriously. However, at that point, another figure arrived. Gambit, with his new weapon at his disposal, dropped down from the heavens, landing in the arena behind Kaidou with a powerful thud. The whole area shook, and Kaidou looked over his shoulder at Gambit. Grinning, Kaidou listened to Gambit speak. Gambit stated that it was time for them to finish what they had started, and Kaidou started to laugh outloud.

Wororororo... looks like everyone is coming for me.

Kaidou said. Not keen on holding a conversation, Gambit went straight onto the offensive, charging toward Kaidou. Yamato capitalized on that opportunity as well, and charged toward Kaidou as well. Kaidou turned, so that Gambit was on his right, and Yamato was on his left. Gambit, once in range, swung his powerful weapon, aiming straight for Kaidou's head. Yamato, matching Gambit's timing, swung her black Busou-shoku no Haki enhaned kanabo, aiming for her father's neck. However, Kaidou had all the strength in the world.

With his right hand, he brought up his kanabo, imbuing it with black Busou-shoku no Haki and swinging it toward Gambit's weapon. The two of them clashed equally, Kaidou using just enough strength to match Gambit and then push him a few meters back. With his left hand, transformed into a dragon's claw and clad in black Busou-shoku no Haki, Kaidou blocked Yamato's kanabo, striking against it with enough strength to match Yamato's own. However, that was not all.

In that moment, Kaidou's dragon tail, imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki, whipped at Yamato's stomach, crashing into her stomach and sending her flying. Yamato came crashing into the wall, coughing up blood.

Kids should stay put when adults are fighting.

Kaidou said, the words aimed toward his daughter.

DPR toward Gambit (clash): 8. City Level + A:+3 + COA: +3 = 14. Large Continent Level (1 higher than Gambit's, pushing him away)

DPR (tail attack): 120: 7. Town Level + COA: +3 = 10. Island Level

Following through with the plan that Leo had proposed, the two Vice Admirals and the Yakuzas went onto the offensive. The warships flanked the two mysterious vessels inside the fog, while Leo, solo, moved higher up into the air above the two vessels, surveying them. From high up above, Leo kicked with his leg, creating a strong Rankyaku that descended down onto one of the two vessels. Leo held back, unleashing a Rankyaku strong enough to rock the vessel and perhaps cut into its decks, but not strong to actually cut the vessel in twain. After his attack, Leo's eyes glowed a subtle red, and he saw into the future.

He knew he would be under fire soon from rifles. As such, using Geppou and great speed, Leo rocketed down toward one of the two vessels, avoiding the bullets in the process. Once he landed aboard, Leo engulfed the palms of his hands in a bright fire and then clapped them together strongly. From the clap of his hands, a fiery and hot shockwave erupted outward, blowing everything and everyone away, including the fog



In the aftermath of Leo's attack, parts of the vessel that he was on were left burning with small, harmless embers - but more importantly, the fog was blown away, giving Leo a good view of what this vessel was like, as well as who was onboard.

Fire Blast:



Leo makes fire erupt from his body in all directions. Due to the blast behind the fire explosion, the fire carries concussive force, allowing Leo to blow his surroundings away from himself. Rank B. Moderate burn.

Onigashima Gate
The gauntlet of three. Alliance blurred, killing intent everywhere, and hate between the three was palpable. The fall of the Beast Pirates, perhaps it would continue here, at their own door; Onigashima Gate. Queen was knocked out, bound in Kairoseki. However, the goal was King, and the Marine attacked.

King dodged, making his way to La Spada. The Grim hollered with a maniac shout, the ground beneath her splintering as La Spada blasted her way to King in a similar fashion, like a bat out of hell.

[La Spada] “KUHAHAHAHA!!!! LET THE CARNAGE BEGIN!!!”
The Grim used her momentum to spin, sword in tow, collecting wind and power to deliver it at the swing. La Spada met King head-on, her spirit exploding, coating her blade with black and green light. The blade was swung against King’s upper chest horizontally with great purpose.

[La Spada] “Yomi Yomi: Agonia Mortal!!!”
The gale of wind exploded upon contact or proximity, combining with soul to create a concussive force that would emanate from her blade, explosive outward all around them. The poison on La Spada’s blade could take effect on first cut. The majority was frozen on her blade, to preserve it. King could take not something troublesome and surprising: La Spada’s color of armor haki was on par with Kaido, whereas earlier it paled in comparison.

The effectiveness of the move went far above the actual attack. La Spada spun to meet King and placed herself between him and Queen. La Spada and the concussive force acted as a barrier of passage. Medusa, as soon as La Spada took off, used a stepping technique to appear above the fallen Queen, her infamous bisento held above her humming with Haki.

[Medusa] “Bushokoku Koka: War Edge!”

One of the strongest techniques of the War Style, haki fixated and brimming, a Z-shaped slash aimed to Queen’s head, aiming to decapitate him. The bisento head dropped with Medusa’s poison as insurance. With La Spada holding King back, and Sasaki far off, the Spada Pirates sought a gut punch.

Agonia Mortal (Mortal Agony): The user leaves his sword trailing behind him, while picking up momentum. Around the blade, wind collects, and upon translating that momentum into a spin, the user swings the sword in a powerful diagonal swing. The wind collected explodes at the end of the swing, creating a gale of wind with great impact power.
