"When I think about it, a glint of fighting spirit flashed in Ace's eyes. He said,
"This is my strongest move. I hope you can take it!"
"Great Flame Shield: Flame Emperor!"
"Boom!"
The blazing flames exploded inside Ace instantly.
Like a vortex, they rapidly stirred on the ground.
The fierce aura surged like a tide, rushing straight into the heavens.
In just a few moments, it condensed out of thin air in the void, forming a massive fireball several dozen meters in diameter.
It gave off a sun-like feeling.
This created a stark contrast between light and dark—like brightness battling darkness—against Blackbeard's black hole.
"Teach, it seems we're destined to be enemies. Either you die, or I perish!" Ace looked up at the strange phenomena in the sky and said solemnly.
"Haha, Captain Ace, we're both children of the same father. Your words are a bit ruthless," Blackbeard chuckled. "But I also look forward to, after dealing with this guy, using Captain Ace as a stepping stone to become the ruler of this sea."
"Stop wasting time—let's fight!"
"Boom!"
A roar erupted as the black hole in the sky slowed its rotation for a moment.
Before everyone could react, it descended with crushing force, smashing toward Kai from the sky.
Seeing this scene, Ace sneered disdainfully, suddenly raising his right hand and slamming downward.
"Boom!"
The hot fireball descended like a comet from the sky.
Wherever it passed, the air seemed to tear apart, rippling out vast waves.
Two attacks, charged with crushing momentum, appeared instantly above Kai.
Feeling the fierce wind approaching, the red cloak behind him fluttered wildly, sounding like a wild horse running free.
Kai was momentarily helpless.
For someone like him, according to Saitama's personality, there's an 80% chance to withstand such an attack.
Although these attacks wouldn't harm Saitama, his clothes would definitely suffer.
If Kai were to fully engage, he wouldn't be able to overcome that mental barrier.
Sigh!
Kai sighed helplessly, originally planning to imitate Saitama and act as cool as possible.
But now, it seemed heaven was against him.
Suddenly, he lifted his head, muscles tightening slightly, twisting his waist, and his five fingers clenched tightly.
This sudden burst of action immediately triggered everyone's nerves.
Especially Blackbeard and Ace.
In their eyes, facing their strongest killer move, the big bald head before them should have fled in panic.
But instead, he revealed a fighting stance.
This completely overturned their understanding.
Most importantly, Kai's way of attacking was so bizarre that they couldn't even associate it with any Devil Fruit powers.
"Haha, this arrogant fool, isn't he really just stupid? Planning to fight with ordinary attacks against the power of the natural Devil Fruits?" Blackbeard grinned fiercely.
Faced with this extremely strange scene, perhaps only this kind of bravado could temporarily soothe his restless mind.
At the same time, about a hundred meters away, Ace also moved his lips slightly, unable to stay silent.
In his eyes, just a moment ago, Kai was relaxed and casual, with dead fish eyes—completely unmotivated.
It gave a feeling of being completely unenthusiastic.
Now, suddenly, he looked serious as if a different person.
The stark contrast completely overturned his previous perception.
Because of this, Ace activated his Observation Haki to the fullest, locking onto Kai.
He desperately wanted to control all of Kai's actions.
"He moved!"
Someone exclaimed in shock.
Under everyone's gaze, Kai, who had been standing motionless, suddenly moved.
Tense muscles, twisting waist, and clenched fists!
At this moment, three forces erupted from within Kai, converging into a single point as he spun his body—like ten thousand horses galloping.
No fancy moves.
After getting the Saitama template, Kai finally took things seriously for the first time, unleashing the full power of the character template.
Watching the rapidly enlarging fireball and black hole in his pupils, Kai's most powerful attack suddenly detonated.
"Bang!"
One punch!
The entire space froze instantly.
In the next moment, the punch's trajectory was pulled along by an unseen force.
The air along the punch was instantly shattered, ripples spreading out but too quickly to fade.
An invisible shockwave, like a mighty tidal wave rising to the heavens, collided fiercely with the descending two attacks.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion erupted.
The rising fist, with unstoppable force, pierced through the fireball and the black hole.
The red and black explosions, like a curtain of heaven, instantly captured everyone's attention.
Amidst the violent shockwaves, the formidable energy swept across, feeling like a Level 12 hurricane.
For a moment, the heavens and earth roared and exploded continuously.
Falling rocks and swirling dust gave a sense of being in the apocalypse.
From a distance, Lafitte and others, who had been watching closely and planning to strike secretly, were swept away by the hurricane like sandbags, crashing hundreds of meters into the ruins.
The huge impact made them spit out blood.
Seeing this apocalyptic scene, they didn't hesitate, quickly seeking cover and fleeing in terror.
In just half a minute, amid blazing flames and dispersing dark tides, it felt like years had passed.
As the dust and debris gradually settled, everyone—Lafitte, others, and even Hiyori hiding far away—quickly turned their eyes back to where Kai had been standing.
The scene was still that big head, dressed in banana peel clothes, wearing a red cloak, with dead fish eyes.
The ground beneath him was flattened, yet he remained completely unharmed, in stark contrast.
But before they could react, a sudden, sharp voice rang out unexpectedly.
"Look! The sky has been pierced!"
Everyone present—Lafitte, Hiyori, even Ace and Blackbeard buried in the ruins—looked up hurriedly.
The first thing that caught their eyes made their pupils contract sharply.
They almost stared out of their sockets.
A mass of leaden clouds, covering the island's sky like a curtain of darkness, at this moment, seemed to be pierced by a giant fist.
From afar, that vacuum zone stretched into the void behind.
This scene was so shocking it felt almost apocalyptic.
Could this be a punch that can split the heavens?
