Sengoku coated his arm with Busoshoku Haki and barely managed to block Kohina's relentless assault.
And yet—
His expression changed instantly.
Despite her small frame…
Her strength was no less than his.
That realization alone was enough to shake him.
Where did this monster come from?
"Ufufufu~!!"
Kohina Hiruko's crimson eyes gleamed as she swung her twin blades again and again, pressing Sengoku without pause.
Across the world, countless people watching the broadcast were left utterly speechless.
What was happening to this world?
Why were such terrifying beings appearing?
Especially when they saw—
A small girl trading blows evenly with Dracule Mihawk.
It felt like a dream.
...
Akainu's expression turned grim.
Because Enju Aihara had already reached Ace.
With casual kicks, she sent the surrounding Marines flying—
And was about to grab Portgas D. Ace and escape.
"Don't even think about it!"
Akainu roared.
His body erupted with magma.
He intended—
To eliminate both Enju and Ace in one strike.
Then—
A pure, childlike voice echoed across the battlefield.
"What do you think you're doing to Enju?"
Everyone froze.
Flandre Scarlet floated gently in the air.
Seeing Akainu attack—
She raised her hand.
And lightly…
Pinched.
The next moment—
Everything stopped.
BOOM!!
Akainu's body—
Exploded.
Shattered into countless fragments of magma that scattered in all directions.
Silence fell.
Even Kizaru was stunned.
Instinctively, he retreated, widening the distance.
But Flandre tilted her head.
Then—
Pinched again.
BOOM!!
Kizaru's body burst into golden light—
Only to slowly reform.
And that…
Caught Flandre's interest.
"Heehee~!"
BOOM!!
He exploded again.
BOOM!!
Akainu too.
Again.
And again.
And again.
The battlefield—
Froze.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene.
Terrified beyond words.
...
At that moment—
Enju returned to Whitebeard's side, carrying Ace.
"Mission complete, mister giant~"
"Please confirm delivery!"
With that, she crushed the Seastone restraints on Ace—
Completely freeing him.
Whitebeard burst into laughter.
"Gurararara!!"
"Hahaha!"
"My thanks—you have my gratitude!"
Even he hadn't expected it to be this easy.
These girls…
Were truly monstrous.
The others regrouped.
Flandre finally stopped playing with Akainu and Kizaru.
Both of them were already on the verge of collapse.
One more strike—
And they would truly die.
Akainu glared at them with hatred.
His body was exhausted.
Yet his eyes burned with fury—
As if he wanted to tear them apart.
That gaze—
Annoyed Flandre.
"I don't like that look."
"Laevatein."
Flames gathered.
A blazing sword materialized in her hand.
She swung it down.
Sengoku's face changed drastically.
"Stop!!"
He rushed forward—
But—
BANG!!
A gunshot rang out.
A bullet pierced through his arm.
"Please stay where you are."
A calm voice followed.
Tina Sprout lowered her sniper slightly.
"Or the next one… will be your head."
At that exact moment—
Laevatein fell.
Akainu—
Was split in two.
The future Fleet Admiral—
Died on the spot.
Even with Logia abilities—
Against a weapon like that…
Death was inevitable.
Flandre huffed lightly.
"Annoying person… gone."
Silence.
Everyone stared at the girls in disbelief.
These… are children?
From the sidelines—
Donquixote Doflamingo burst into laughter.
"Fufufu…"
"What terrifying power…"
Even he was shaken.
One of his arms had already been blown off—
Courtesy of Tina.
At this point—
The outcome was clear.
The Whitebeard Pirates had won.
Countless Marines dead.
Multiple Vice Admirals defeated.
And Akainu—
Killed.
The Marines had suffered devastating losses.
...
Around the world—
Those watching the broadcast were stunned.
No one had expected this ending.
Whitebeard grinned widely.
That 100,000 points… worth every bit!!
He looked toward Sengoku.
"Oi, Sengoku!"
"Still want to continue?"
Sengoku's face was dark.
Clutching his injured arm, he glared at the girls.
"…Who are you?!"
His voice trembled with anger.
These monsters—
Where had they come from?
Enju was about to answer—
But Rita stopped her with a glance.
Then, coldly:
"Who we are…"
"You're not qualified to know."
"If you wish to continue this fight—"
"We don't mind wiping you all out."
Her tone held no mercy.
To her—
Only Izumi and her sisters mattered.
The rest?
Irrelevant.
Life or death meant nothing.
Sengoku's expression turned even darker.
The battlefield fell silent.
Everyone waited—
For his decision.
And then—
Tina suddenly raised her rifle.
She aimed at a corner of the plaza—
And pulled the trigger.
A blazing beam shot forth.
BOOM!!
The ground exploded.
From the smoke—
Several figures were forced out.
Among them—
A man with a strange hat and an eyepatch—
Was killed instantly.
Flandre tilted her head curiously.
"…Are these enemies too?"
