Whoosh!
Soon, Law and Marco disappeared into the horizon. Then, the pirates on the ship could see them again.
"Nowhere to run, forced back by Captain Marco?" The pirates mocked Law: "An overconfident fool."
"Marco, force him onto the ship, I'll take care of him." Flower Sword Vista said.
"Room, Command!"
As he approached the pirate ship, Law instantly manifested a massive Room space, encompassing the entire pirate ship. Then, he lifted his right hand, and the enormous, mountain-like pirate ship soared from the sea. Even a large volume of seawater was controlled and lifted into the air.
"This is bad." Many pirates on the airborne ship turned pale.
"Fall!"
Law's right hand turned and pressed down. The pirate ship in the air flipped, and countless pirates, like dumplings, plunged into the sea. Many pirates frantically grabbed onto anything they could to stabilize themselves.
"Rumble!"
The flipping pirate ship crashed onto the sea, its hull splitting apart. All the pirates fell into the water. Even the strongest commanders, if they were Devil Fruit users, were powerless as they sank towards the seabed.
"Pirates who can still move, immediately rescue the Devil Fruit users." Marco roared, his face changing drastically. At this moment, his lazy demeanor finally shifted. He glared furiously at Law. To think that this seemingly playful prey would cause us such heavy losses. Unforgivable.
"Rumble!"
A powerful kick clashed with Law's blade. A terrifying shockwave swept through the air. Law rapidly flew towards the island, while Marco was forced backward.
"Geppo."
Law, speeding through the air, rapidly approached the island. A few breaths later, he landed on the island, finally letting out a sigh of relief. Continuously using Geppo for such a short time had already consumed over half of Law's stamina.
"Rumble!"
At the center of the island, the clash between the Four Emperors had not ended even after three days and three nights; instead, it intensified. Each confrontation brought tremors to heaven and earth! This was power that could shake the heavens and the earth, a battle that could destroy everything.
"Whoosh!"
Marco flew rapidly towards the island: "Having caused us such heavy losses, you cannot be allowed to leave."
"Still pursuing?" Law looked at the charging Marco with cold eyes: "On the land, I am the one who decides."
The moment Marco's terrifying attack landed, Law had already vanished, appearing a thousand meters away. In the open sea, there were no objects in the air, so Law naturally couldn't use his Room space for object transfer. But on the land, there were too many shattered rocks, too many objects.
"Don't even think about escaping."
"Whoosh!"
After several spatial transfers of objects within Room, Law had vanished from Marco's sight. He couldn't be found. The island was too vast.
"Escaped so quickly? He really does possess spatial abilities; troublesome." Marco frowned, looking at the massive island. The island was too big, hiding one person was too easy, and the opponent also had such a strange ability.
Countless pirates who had fallen into the sea were slowly being rescued.
"Where's that bastard? I'll kill him." Diamond Jozu roared. As a Devil Fruit user, he had almost died falling into the sea. If not for the help of other comrades, no matter how strong he was, he would have been buried in the ocean. As the Third Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, he had never been so disheveled.
"He's on the island."
"He has no ship; he can't escape. With so many of us, we'll eventually find him."
"No, Pops is still battling Kaido of the Beasts. We can't go in there. Many of our comrades also can't withstand the terrifying shockwaves within. I'll go in first and take a look." Marco shook his head, then transformed into a Phoenix and flew into the island.
"Hoo-hoo."
Law finally hid in a shattered forest, crouching behind a broken tree trunk.
"A clash of the Four Emperors?" Law secretly looked forward.
Thousands of meters ahead, the land was completely shattered and collapsed, forming a massive crater. The mountains and forests within it had vanished, leaving only a scene of a doomsday-like landscape. Standing amidst the tempestuous aura, two figures stood like colossal pillars of heaven and earth.
"Whitebeard and Kaido of the Beasts? Although Whitebeard is old now, he's stronger than he will be six years from now, right?" Law looked at the proudly standing Whitebeard. Just standing there, he exuded an incredibly powerful deterrent. Truly the Strongest Man in the World.
The two Four Emperors seemed to have just unleashed their ultimate moves and were now facing each other, not making any further moves.
"Whoosh!" Phoenix Marco descended from the sky. He reverted to human form upon landing, appearing by Whitebeard's side.
"What? Whitebeard, are you finally unable to hold on, needing your son's help? Perfect, the more people there are, the more satisfying it will be to kill me." Kaido of the Beasts laughed mockingly.
"Shut up, Kaido, you brat. I never use numbers to bully the weak." Whitebeard glared, his tiger-like eyes radiating a terrifying aura that scattered the white clouds in the sky.
"Marco, what's going on? Didn't I tell you not to disturb my battle?"
"Pops, a Marine powerhouse has entered the island." Marco looked around, trying to find Law's trace: "I'm worried he'll disturb your battle, Pops."
"Marines? Trash, if they dare show themselves, just kill them. Do they have the qualifications or strength to affect this battle?" Kaido of the Beasts scoffed at the Marines. Could any cat or dog disturb a battle between Four Emperors?
"Marines? Is it Garp or Sengoku, or those brats Akainu and the others?" Whitebeard asked. In the entire Marine force, only a handful of these individuals could catch Whitebeard's eye.
"An unknown Marine, but with good strength and strange abilities," Marco said. He still didn't know Law's identity, hadn't even seen Law's face.
"An unknown nobody, what's there to fear?" Whitebeard immediately lost interest. "What if he's on this island? What can he do? Can he change anything? Marco, you all retreat for now. Just find him slowly after the battle is over; he can't escape anyway."
"Understood, Pops."
Marco nodded. In his Phoenix form, he flew away. He also didn't believe Law could influence an Emperor's battle; an Admiral, maybe.
"Whitebeard, had enough rest? Can you wield your blade now? Then let's continue." Kaido of the Beasts roared, a terrifying, tangible aura surging into the sky, lifting several tons of boulders around them.
"Terrifying." Law's eyes narrowed. They truly are freaks.
"What can I gain from a battle between Four Emperors?" Habitually, Law considered his pros and cons, pondering if he could scheme anything from it.
