"Two five billion Berries Great Pirates?"
The remaining six Supernovas, along with countless Pirate Crew mbers, stared at the two different manifestations of Shirogai, their expressions sinking into despair.
It already felt impossible to defeat one.
Facing two at the sa ti felt like a cruel joke.
"How did he split into two?" Kid growled, his hands forming massive steel muzzles aid at both figures. "Is this also a Devil Fruit ability?"
Even Kid, known for his arrogance, no longer had any confidence left in his eyes.
He was brutal and irritable, not foolish.
Being crushed repeatedly by Shirogai like a helpless child had already shattered his pride. Worse still, several mbers of his crew had died right in front of him.
That hatred burned deep.
Yet, standing before two extre Logia abilities, Kid felt genuine confusion for the first ti.
Could anyone truly defeat such a monster?
"Do not panic," Bege said coldly, pulling two pistols from his body. "If he split himself, it ans he cannot handle us all at once."
He sneered, sweeping his gaze across the others.
"There are six of us and only two of him. Three against one. I will handle the magma version. Who is coming with ?"
The Supernovas exchanged glances, silently steeling their resolve.
"Then let us fight!" Kid roared, raising both arms.
tal surged violently, forming two massive fists above him shaped like sharp bull horns.
Bang!
The fists slamd together as Kid bared his teeth at the red haired Shirogai below, whose presence felt even more oppressive than his own.
"The red haired one is mine!"
Killer moved instantly, stepping forward without a word, twin blades flashing at his wrists. Where Kid went, Killer followed.
"Fine," Drake said after a brief pause, drawing his longsword. "My ability is countered by fire. I will take the Ice Ice Fruit user."
Law nodded, gripping Kikoku firmly.
"I will face the white one."
Urouge laughed deeply, resting his heavy stone pillar on his shoulder.
"Then the white haired one belongs to ."
In re monts, the Supernovas divided their targets.
…
"You are slow," the magma coated Shirogai said disdainfully.
He stood atop flowing magma, looking down at them as if they were insects.
"Have you finished choosing? Who is coming to die first?"
Kid's feet hardened with Armant Haki as he clenched his fists.
"You have waited long enough," Kid snarled. "Let us see that confidence when we crush you!"
Bege's feet were also coated in Armant Haki as he faced the white haired Shirogai.
"Hmph. I will deal with you quickly."
Yet while speaking, Bege's eyes flickered sideways, asuring Kid and Killer.
He sneered inwardly.
I never planned to fight this monster. I was dragged into this ss.
All I need is an opening.
Earlier, when magma erupted, Bege had already absorbed his entire crew into his body. As the user of the Castle Castle Fruit, his body functioned as a fortress, capable of housing his subordinates safely within.
"Listen carefully," Bege commanded from within.
"The mont the fight begins, release the smoke and retreat. Let those two idiots stall him. We escape and survive."
"Yes, Godfather," his subordinates responded.
…
On the frozen street.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
Three figures landed heavily on the ice, their feet coated in Armant Haki to prevent instant freezing.
Death Surgeon Law.
Forr Marine Rear Admiral Drake.
Mad Monk Urouge.
The white haired Shirogai regarded them silently, pale eyes calm beneath pristine brows.
"Have you prepared yourselves for death?" he asked evenly.
"We will see who dies," Law replied lightly.
He placed his palm on the ground.
"ROOM!"
A transparent white space expanded rapidly, enclosing part of the frozen street.
"I will move first," Law said without looking back. "Follow after . Stay clear of my blade."
Tap tap tap.
Law advanced swiftly across the ice, closing the distance without hesitation.
Then sothing unexpected happened.
Urouge suddenly leapt away.
Without a word, he bounded off the ice and ran along the nearby building, retreating toward the distance.
"He ran?" Drake exclaid in disbelief, yet he continued advancing.
Law's lips curled into a cold, knowing smile.
"I expected that."
"Slaughterhouse."
Whoosh!
In an instant, space twisted.
Urouge, who had already fled far away, reappeared directly in front of Shirogai, while Law replaced him at his forr position.
"What?" Urouge blinked, confusion flashing across his face.
He barely had ti to react before Shirogai raised a frost condensed hand.
"Ice Age."
This is bad.
Urouge's pupils shrank violently.
"Haaaa!"
Roaring, he swung his massive stone pillar downward with all his strength.
Shirogai's palm t the pillar effortlessly.
Crack crack crack.
Ice spread instantly along the weapon, climbing Urouge's arm and enveloping his entire body.
In less than a heartbeat, the Mad Monk beca a frozen statue, locked in place.
Law used the opening without hesitation, retreating rapidly with his crew.
Only a brief ssage remained for Drake.
"Sorry, Drake. You are on your own."
"Damn it!"
Drake clenched his four bladed axe and longsword, fury burning in his eyes as he faced the approaching white haired Shirogai.
He did not know whether he was cursing Urouge for fleeing, or Law for using another man as bait.
