"Kaido of the Beasts!"

"Big Mom Charlotte Linlin!"

On the icy surface, the pirates were both exhilarated and terrified.

Capone Bege's face paled as he watched the two towering figures descending from the sky.

"It's Mama! Bege! We need to get out of here now! If she spots us, we're dead! There's no escaping this time!" Charlotte Chiffon cried out in panic.

"Y-yeah, boss, forget the ship. This ice won't melt for at least half a month—unless you plan to smash it and drag the ship away." Vito trembled uncontrollably.

"KAAIIIDOOO!" Moria's face twisted with fury as he shrieked.

Crocodile subtly inched away from Moria's side.

Hawkeye, who had been sitting, suddenly stood and reached behind his back, drawing his pitch-black longsword.

The Supreme Grade Blade, Yoru.

"Mihawk, you—what are you doing? Planning to intervene? For what?" Moria gaped in shock as Mihawk strode forward, then grew even more bewildered when he realized the man was heading towards Kaido.

"You… you're not thinking of helping me fight Kaido, are you?"

Crocodile's lips twitched as he stared at Moria like he was an idiot.

Moria, can't you think straight for once?

Even a fool could see that Red Hair and Blackbeard were ganging up on Caesar.

Mihawk is Shanks' friend—of course he wouldn't let Kaido and Big Mom join the fray.

*****

Meanwhile, the frozen Red Force and its crew had hurriedly arrived near Banana Island.

"What? The captain's fighting Caesar? What's going on?" Yasopp was the first to notice the battle between Caesar and the others.

It was impossible to miss—the deafening explosions made the entire ice field tremble beneath their feet.

King's expression turned cold as he unsheathed the sword at his waist.

"Beckman! I think you need to give us a good explanation as to why your captain joined forces with Blackbeard to gang up on our captain!"

Queen awkwardly withdrew his arm from around Lucky Roux's shoulder, his plump face contorting with intense indignation as he pointed at the bewildered Lucky Roux and shouted.

"FUCK! Uncle Queen treated you like a brother and your captain dare to gang up on his captain? Lucky, our friendship's over! Let's fight!"

Lucky Roux somehow produced a giant chicken leg from nowhere, gripping it in his hand.

Queen paused, glanced at the chicken leg, and licked his lips.

"Do you think you can bribe me with a chicken leg? I'm telling you, there's no way!"

As he spoke, Queen sneakily glanced at the furious King, then snatched the chicken leg from Lucky Roux's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Unless you've got a few more."

Beckman furrowed his brow, carefully observing the battlefield situation.

After just a brief look, Beckman vaguely understood why Shanks would help his nemesis, Blackbeard.

'Shanks, are you maintaining the so called balance? Blackbeard pirates down to just one man—it looks like his crew's taken heavy losses. Those captains of his are probably done for.'

With that thought, Beckman turned his gaze to the terrifying figures of Kaido and Linlin dominating the sky, his frown deepening.

"The situation's bad. Caesar alone can hold his own against Shanks and Blackbeard, and now there are two more violent monsters. Mihawk could probably stall one, but that still leaves... huh? Aokiji?"

Beckman's heart tightened as he suddenly noticed Aokiji sitting astride his bike on the icy surface ahead, silently watching the battle without intervening.

King also noticed Beckman's gaze and spotted Aokiji.

Immediately, King couldn't help but yell, "Kuzan! What are you waiting for? Go help Caesar! Suppress Red Hair and Blackbeard!"

Aokiji gave him an indifferent glance but still didn't move, remaining seated on his bike.

"Damn Admiral bastard, I knew he couldn't be trusted! We never should've let him stay!" King gritted his teeth, his face filled with rage.

His wings spread behind him as he prepared to leap off the ship.

Click.

The sound of a gun being cocked behind him sent a chilling sensation down King's spine, freezing him in place.

"Don't move, King!" Beckman raised his flintlock, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

"Beckman!" King roared through clenched teeth, his sword bursting into fierce flames.

"Let's all stay put. I won't intervene either, how about that? let them settle it among themselves." Beckman's calm voice carried across the deck.

This stunned not only King but the rest of the Red haired pirates crew as well.

Yasopp gaped. "Beckman, are you insane? Shanks can't hold out for much longer—there are three monsters over there. That bastard Caesar is already tying up Shanks and Teach. If we don't go restrain one of them, Shanks is done for."

King flew into a rage, pointing his sword at Yasopp.

"You dare call my captain a bastard? Your captain's the real bastard here! We kindly invited him to Totto Land as a guest, and he turns on his hosts—utterly shameless!"

Yasopp shrugged nonchalantly. "Say what you want. Shanks is definitely a bastard, no doubt about that."

King was bewildered.

What kind of people were these pirates?

Who would outright call their own captain a bastard?

Beckman spoke again, "Shanks isn't so easy to kill. King, let's stay here and watch. Think carefully—if we wanted to restrain you, just a few of us would be enough."

King gritted his teeth, pondered for a moment, then the flames on his sword vanished as he landed on the ice.

'What the hell is Beckman thinking? If they don't go over there, Red Hair might actually get beaten to death by the boss. Big Mom and Kaido are also here.'

King turned his gaze towards the battlefield.

"Worororororo, Hawkeye, are you trying to stop me?"

Kaido's massive Azure Dragon form shrank, transforming into his human form as he crashed onto the ice with a thunderous impact, gripping his pitch-black kanabo.

Ain was no longer by his side—no one knew where he had left her.

Hawkeye held his sword, his sharp eyes fixed on Kaido with an imposing intensity.

At that moment, Linlin soared past Hawkeye on Prometheus, flying towards Caesar and the others.

Hawkeye didn't move, nor did he spare Linlin a glance, keeping his full attention on Kaido.

*****

BOOM!!

Nearby, the battle between Gin and Redfield finally reached its conclusion!

Redfield, drenched in blood—whether his own or Gin's—clutched his sword with a savage expression.

His surging Conqueror's Haki enveloped the blade, causing the air to crack with fissures.

"Haki Infused Sword Technique! Star Dance—Sun Halo!!"

Gin was equally blood-soaked, his eyes bloodshot, a cruel smile on his lips, yet a trace of unwillingness flickered in his gaze.

Gin knew he wasn't strong enough yet.

"RAAAAH! Destruction Hammer—Great Impact!!"

Gin swung his twin hammers wildly, charging headlong into Redfield's chest with reckless abandon.

Redfield slashed downward, black-red Conqueror's lightning erupting as he shattered Gin's hammers and cleaved through his body.

A straight line of blood sprayed from Gin's forehead down to his waist, gushing like a fountain.

"HAHAHAHA! Foolish brat! With strength like this, you dare challenge me? How many lives do you think you have?!"

Redfield laughed maniacally, opening his mouth to bathe in Gin's blood, letting out a satisfied groan.

"Prometheus—Heavenly Fire!"
