Chapter 400: The Fall of the Twin Emperors
Wano Country Battlefield
Blood and fire soaked the earth. Charred wreckage floated along the coast, and the banners of the Totto Land fleet slowly sank into the crimson seawater.
Atop the cliffs, Katakuri's body was firmly pinned by a lightning spear. His eyes were wide open, frozen in a state of indignation and utter despair.
But what truly shattered the courage of countless pirates were the two massive, tragically blood-drenched figures in the center of the battlefield.
Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin—two Emperors of the Sea—were now bathed in blood, kneeling on one knee.
Dragon scales were shattered; the Emperor's sword was broken.
The kanabo "Hassaikai" had been reduced to mangled wreckage, and the homie "Napoleon" had lost all its brilliance.
Blood poured continuously from their mouths, chests, and foreheads, pooling into a thick, crimson puddle beneath their feet.
The two once-invincible Emperors gasped for air like broken bellows, every breath spraying bloody mist. In their dragon and demonic eyes, the pride of conquerors was gone, replaced only by deep fear and bewilderment.
—Because opposite them, that man still stood.
Roy hovered in mid-air, black and red Haki wreathing his body, yet not a single scratch could be seen on him.
He looked down at them coldly, his voice deep and freezing like a reaper's judgment: "Still want to continue?"
Those four simple words struck like a heavy hammer, shattering the twin Emperors' final shreds of dignity!
Kaido's massive frame trembled. He wanted to roar, but could only cough up scalding blood. "Roy... what kind of monster... are you?!!"
Linlin's pink hair was a tangled mess, matted to her face by grime and blood. She let out a screeching laugh, though her mirth was completely laced with mental collapse:
"MAMAMAMA... We joined forces, yet we couldn't leave a single scratch on you... How is this possible?!!"
Roy slowly descended, his boots touching down in the pool of blood and kicking up a thick, crimson ripple.
A cold smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, his gaze as sharp as a frozen blade. "Monster?"
"Heh, it's simply because you are too weak."
"Just like the powerlessness... and despair... that countless ordinary people feel when facing pirate invasions."
Around the battlefield, the surviving members of the Beast Pirates and Totto Land forces completely broke down!
Trembling, they threw away their weapons, sobbing and screaming: "We surrender!!! We surrender!!!"
"Please spare our lives!!!"
"I swear I'll never be a pirate again!!!"
The scent of blood and fire permeated the air. Charred remains floated in the scarlet sea, the battlefield looking as tragically brutal as purgatory itself.
Just as countless pirates were wailing in total collapse—
"Worororo—!!!"
Amidst the ruined puddle of blood, his dragon scales shattered and his flesh mangled, Kaido actually raised his head and laughed! His wild roar shattered the lingering clouds!
"Monster? Worororo!!! In the eyes of the world, aren't we monsters too?!!"
"It's just... today we met an even stronger monster!!!"
His dragon claws gripped the broken remnants of Hassaikai in a death grip. Bloody mist sprayed across his tusks as his pupils dilated, locking dead onto Roy!
"ROY!! I admit—you are even more terrifying than Rocks was back then!!!"
"But... did you really think we would die on our knees?!!"
He violently turned his head and roared, "LINLIN!! You old hag, your legs haven't gone soft from fear, have they?!!"
Hearing this, Charlotte Linlin's colossal body jolted. She immediately threw her head back and erupted into manic laughter!
"MAMAMAMAMA—!!!"
"Kaido!! You brat... still as arrogant as ever!!!"
Using the remains of her Emperor's sword as a crutch, she staggered to her feet. Her pink hair whipped wildly like frantic snakes. Covered in blood, she stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Kaido once more!
Blood and fire dyed the world. The waves rolled with blackened debris, and wails of agony intertwined across the bloody battlefield.
Yet, under the watchful eyes of all the Marines and surviving pirates, Kaido and Linlin struggled to stand tall!
The two surveyed their surroundings:
—King had long since died beneath Zoro's blades, and Queen had been cut to pieces by Kuina;
—Enel's lightning sealed the firmament, and Issho's gravity crushed the earth;
—The Marine elites closed in from all directions like an iron wall, thoroughly crushing the pirate frontlines with suffocating pressure.
Even so, these two blood-soaked Emperors unleashed a roar that shook the nine heavens in the face of absolute despair!
"We are—the Emperors of the Sea!!!"
"BOOM—!!!"
Black-red Conqueror's Haki swept out like a tsunami! Lightning flashed and thunder roared across heaven and earth, as if the very air itself was submitting to their will!
The Marine formations shook violently. Countless soldiers held their breath, cold sweat sliding down their foreheads.
On a distant mountain peak, Ace securely shielded Otama. The flames in his eyes danced as he murmured, "Is this... the spirit of an Emperor?!"
Roy stood silently beneath the blood-red sky. He slowly raised a hand, signaling the entire army to step back.
Taking a step forward, his voice was as chilling as the Grim Reaper. "Come... let me send you off on your final journey."
—Kaido and Linlin exchanged a glance. Bloody foam dripped from the corners of their mouths, but they roared in unison!
"LINLIN!!!"
"KAIDO!!!"
They crossed their weapons, black-red lightning coiling frantically around them!
"The Final—HAKAI (OCEAN SOVEREIGNTY)!!!"
A devastating torrent of power erupted!
Lightning and raging waves churned. Space fractured inch by inch, and the earth collapsed and caved in!
A shockwave capable of obliterating entire islands rushed straight toward Roy, looking ready to swallow all creation!
Witnessing this, the Marine officers and soldiers watched in absolute horror, their throats running dry. Even from hundreds of meters away, they felt their very souls trembling!
Roy remained utterly silent, only his eyes sharpening like blades.
He slowly pulled his right fist back. Black-red electrical arcs surged wildly around his knuckles, the air seeming to scream in agony at the epicenter of his grip!
The surrounding space rapidly distorted and collapsed, spider-web-like fissures spreading outward.
"Fist Bone: Star-Shattering Collapse!!!"
"VROOM—!!!"
The moment the fist collided with the torrent of Hakai, the world went completely silent!
The energy acted like a towering tidal wave plunging into an abyss, frantically devoured by the singularity at the center of his fist!
"CRACK—!!!"
Black-red fissures blasted outward in all directions from his knuckles, shattering the energy structure of Hakai inch by inch like breaking glass!
For a brief second, a pitch-black miniature black hole condensed in front of his fist!
It madly devoured everything in its vicinity before going into explosive overload!
"KABOOM—!!!"
Blinding white light swept across heaven and earth! The shockwave pulverized mountains into fine dust!
The firmament was forcibly ripped open, leaving a massive, spiral-shaped tear that lingered in the sky!
The bodies of Kaido and Linlin were simultaneously pierced by the white light!
A mist of blood exploded from their chests. The two staggered, leaning against each other as the light in their eyes gradually dimmed...
Kaido let out a low growl, his voice mixed with blood and an underlying sense of tragic desolation. "Heh... so it's over..."
Linlin's pink hair was completely soaked in grime and blood, but she still managed to squeeze out her signature, manic laugh:
"MAMAMAMA..."
"Roger... Whitebeard... pour a drink and wait for us..."
"THUD—!!!"
The two colossal bodies of the Emperors finally collapsed, side by side!
The pool of blood spread outward, looking like red spider lilies blooming across the ruins, heralding the absolute end of an era.
—Governor General of the Beast Pirates, Kaido.
—Captain of the Big Mom Pirates, Charlotte Linlin.
The Twin Emperors... had fallen!
Roy stood in the center of the spatial rift, the residual power still humming in the air as black-red electrical arcs flickered around his knuckles.
Countless eyes looked up at him, their hearts filled with nothing but trembling awe and profound shock:
A New Era had truly descended!
