One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 214 The Legend Returns!

But high above.

At that moment, a colossal floating island that blots out the sky suddenly appeared and descended from the heavens, pressing down on the cake castle!

This island is almost as big as Whole Cake Island, and with the added impact of falling from an unknown height, there's only one possible outcome...

The entire Whole Cake Island will be utterly destroyed!

"Hey, what's going on here!"

"That island...that island is hurtling towards us!"

"Is the end of the world... coming?!"

The Charlotte family members who remained in the open square, along with several emperors from the underworld, couldn't help but show expressions of horror and panic.

Stussy's body trembled, and disbelief appeared in his eyes.

Plan A has completely failed. The reason she stayed in the present is to witness the outcome of the battle between Kaido and Shano.

The World Government would be happy to see any of them lose and die.

The result was...

A scene from my memory quickly matched the scene before me.

This made her subconsciously look to the side, at the two sea emperors who had been crew members of Rocks, just like her clone.

"Hey, Linlin, you can do that..." Kaido forced himself to stand up straight, his eyes narrowing with a serious expression.

“Only that old man,” BIGMOM said, taking a deep breath.

"Thief! Hahahaha!!!"

Just then, a wild, arrogant laugh, just like Blackbeard's, came from high above.

A figure with long golden hair, wearing a yellow cloak resembling a yellow monkey, stood at the edge of the floating island, arms crossed, cigar in mouth, grinning and laughing heartily.

"Linlin! Kaido! It's been so many, many years! You didn't expect that, did you? It's me, Shiki the Golden Lion, back again!"

He spread his arms wide, as if he had the whole world under his control.

"And that dazzling brat of the new generation, Xia Nuo! Hahaha, it's rare to have so many people here. Today, I'll use your lives to announce my return! Let this sea remember who the true overlord of the new world is!"

Seventeen years have passed.

Seventeen years!

Seventeen years ago, he cut off both of his legs and escaped from Impel Down.

In order to avenge himself against the World Government and to fulfill his ambition of regaining dominance over the seas, he disappeared for a long time, keeping a low profile and accumulating strength.

Originally, according to his plan, he intended to wait another two or three years.

Once his "IQ" monster plan is fully completed, he will officially announce his return to the world.

But unfortunately...

However, the sea has been turbulent in recent years, with many outstanding figures emerging. First, there was that red-haired brat, and then came Xia Nuo, whose rise was even more terrifying!

Hey!
These younger, newer talents!
Are they inheriting Roger's will? They're all so terrifying it's unbelievable! This situation is so exciting, I can't sit still any longer!

Coincidentally.

The news that Kaido and Shano had been locked in a fierce battle for days, with no clear victor, had spread throughout the entire sea.

Golden Lion keenly realized that if he wanted this era, which was gradually forgetting his fame, to immediately recall the fear of being dominated by his massive fleet...

There is no better opportunity than this!

Lingling alone cannot perfectly resolve her island-crushing attack. While the other two are exhausted, smash them to death!

One is the Four Emperors, who are known as the strongest creatures in the world, and the other is the strongest newcomer in history, who is almost on par with the Emperors of the Sea.

He's qualified enough to be a stepping stone for his return!
This is enough to make the Golden Lion's reputation resound throughout the world, even surpassing that of that still-living old man!

"Hahaha..."

The golden lion grinned, and with its right hand outstretched, palm down, it suddenly swung downwards!
"Give me... speed up!"

Boom! ! !
The floating giant island suddenly began to accelerate its descent, and a terrifying shadow almost swallowed the entire sky.

The air was compressed, emitting a piercing shriek, and a fierce wind raged, causing even the top of the cake castle to tremble violently, crack, and shake!

"Shiki! You crazy old man... Hey, Zeus!!"

BIGMOM roared in fury, and white clouds rushed in hastily. She leaped onto them, ready to soar into the sky.

Xia Nuo's expression also changed slightly. He flipped his right hand and caught the Senzu Bean in his palm.

He had absolute confidence in his physical strength; even when he was exhausted, he didn't think the island could crush him to death.

But what about your friends?
What about the millions of innocent people living on Whole Cake Island?

There will definitely be heavy casualties!
He didn't want to see this happen, so even if it meant using up the last Senzu Bean, he had to...

"Jack! Lord Shano hasn't recovered his strength yet. You stay there and protect him! The rest of you, come with me and help Charlotte Linlin stop this island!"

The girl's sharp shout suddenly rang out.

Clang!
Kuina's black ponytail danced wildly in the wind. After letting out a low shout, she drew her sword, ready to slash at the giant island!

Behind her, Kuma, Nojiko, Smoker, and the Sweet Commanders led by Katakuri also leaped out and soared into the sky.

"Don't worry, boss!"

Jack roared in response, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a massive mammoth, crouching down and leaving just enough space to cover Shano beneath him.

Thus……

Even if the island eventually crashes down, he'll be the one who dies; it won't hurt Boss Xia Nuo at all!

Jack's eyes were full of determination.

However, he did not notice that when he transformed into a mammoth, Shano was struggling to raise his right hand and put it into his mouth.

Then his entire arm was pinned down by a butt, and he couldn't move.

"I……"

Xia Nuo was almost driven crazy by this guy.

Normally, if he were to be a little more serious, he could easily grab the mammoth and throw it away.

But at this moment, I really had no strength left, otherwise I wouldn't have had to exert so much effort to stand up earlier.

"Jack!"

He growled, about to tell Jack to move his big buttocks away, when a familiar, maniacal laugh rang out from the side:
"Ugh... You old bastard, how dare you be so arrogant? Do you think that brat can drain my stamina?" Kaido panted and looked up, a ferocious glint in his eyes.

He was already exhausted, but at this critical moment of life and death, he squeezed out his last bit of strength, stomped on the ground, and leaped high into the air like a cannonball, roaring:

"Don't underestimate me, Shiki!!!"

boom!
Thunder suddenly roared, and Kaido's muscles bulged and swelled, transforming him into a colossal blue dragon that covered the sky in an instant!

"Get out of my way, all of you! Don't get in my way! With your abilities, you can't possibly stop this entire island!"

With a flick of its tail, the blue dragon sent everyone who had already ascended into the air using Moonwalk, including Katakuri and Kuina, flying and crashing to the ground.

"Kaido..."

BIGMOM was also slightly taken aback, turning his head in surprise to look at the blue dragon.

At this moment, an astonishing amount of purplish-black flames erupted from the Azure Dragon's body, spreading rapidly in all directions like a torrent.

In the blink of an eye, it hovered and covered the lower half of the entire floating island.

hum!
The rapidly falling giant island suddenly stopped, held aloft by the layers of fiery clouds, and came to a stop just a few hundred meters away from Cake Island!
"Ok?"

The golden lion's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression changed drastically.

He never expected that Kaido, whose aura was so weak, would still have the strength to fight.

Even more unexpectedly, the opponent's Devil Fruit ability development has reached this level!
There has never been anyone before who could bring a falling island to a complete stop from falling!

Even if Whitebeard or those old guys like Garp were there, they could only shatter it into countless fragments; Whole Cake Island would still face annihilation.

"Well done, Kaido!"

BIGMOM laughed loudly, his eyes blazing with murderous intent:
"I'll ask you for one last favor: just throw the island into the sea next to us. Leave the rest to me! Hey, Zeus, take me after them!"

"Yes! Mom!"

Zeus grinned and accelerated, bypassing the floating island supported by purple flames, and sped towards the golden lion high in the sky!

BIGMOM's eyes flashed with furious flames as she gripped the giant sword that Napoleon had transformed into, her Conqueror's Haki swirling around it, and black and red lightning crackling wildly across its blade.

"Shiki! You bastard!"

She roared, "You old hags who don't belong to this era, just obediently step aside! How dare you come and cause trouble in my territory! Today I'll show you what the word 'regret' really means!"

"I'm illiterate!"

The Golden Lion snapped out of his daze and chuckled, "But you, Lingling... after all these years, you're still so easily angered and incredibly irritable!"

But she's still as beautiful as she was back then.

That's really strange. Haven't there been rumors for a long time that this woman has become fat and ugly and is completely unrecognizable?
He didn't seem to care, casually waving his hands around.

The surrounding air suddenly distorted, and dozens of huge rocks were detached from the floating island, wrapped in dense Armament Haki, and shot towards BIGMOM like cannonballs.

Do you think you can stop yourself with such tricks?
BIGMOM scoffed dismissively.

"Wei Guo!"

With a single sword strike, terrifying sword energy, wreathed in a domineering aura, instantly shattered all the rocks!
At this moment, Zeus, carrying her, had almost reached the golden lion.

Napoleon raised it high and swung it down at the golden lion!
"Want to compare swordsmanship? That's ridiculous, Lingling. If you don't have dementia, you should remember that this kind of thing... is clearly something I'm better at!"

The golden lion laughed wildly, showing no fear whatsoever.

The two famous swords used as prosthetics, Sakura-ju and Mukuro, with a slight swing, unleashed a magnificent cross-shaped sword aura!
Before he ate the Float-Float Fruit, he was a renowned swordsman of the Dual Sword Style, famous throughout the world!
Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The two clashed fiercely at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, their swords colliding repeatedly, accompanied by bursts of black and red lightning. They fought further and further away, higher and higher, until in the blink of an eye they became two small black dots at the limit of their field of vision...

"It's great to be able to fly."

Jack looked up at the elephant's head, sighing with envy, then couldn't help but say to the person beneath him:
"Hey boss, if you were in a normal situation, could you fight those two at that height?"

Xia Nuo's voice drifted over:
"With Moonwalk, reaching that level isn't difficult, but if you fight against flying enemies of the same level in that environment for a long time, you'll be at a disadvantage. Of course, these aren't the key points."

"Eh?"

Jack was taken aback. "Then what's the key?"

"You idiot, get your big ass off me right now!"

A vein bulged on Xia Nuo's forehead as he roared, "Is this ever going to end? Kaido has already moved the island away, what is he still doing suppressing me for?!"

"Oh...oh, yes!"

Jack suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly transformed back into human form. "Sorry, boss!"

Xia Nuo was finally able to free his arm. He stood up, glanced at the Senzu Bean he hadn't had time to eat, shook his head, and put it back into his backpack.

Then he looked up and gazed at Kaido in the distance.

The blue dragon was moving the floating island to the nearby sea at Big Mom's request, but this was clearly very difficult for Kaido, who was running out of energy.

The floating island supported by the flames moves at an extremely slow speed, and even now, more than half of it is still above the Whole Cake Island.

"Hey, Kaido, do you need me to lend a hand?"

"Shut up! You weakling, just stay where you are and stop pointing fingers!"

With a roar, the azure dragon swung its body violently, as if in a final burst of energy, unleashing all the power within it to increase the size of the purplish-black flame cloud several times over!
The massive floating island was finally moved completely above the sea surface, and with a loud bang, it crashed into the sea, creating waves hundreds of meters high.

Cake Island is separated from it by only a strait a few hundred meters away, and the whole island suddenly trembled.

"A great success! The Thirty-Six Islands of the World will now become the Thirty-Seven Islands!"

Kaido transformed back into human form, spread his arms wide in the air, and burst into unrestrained laughter:
"Lingling, you really owe me a huge favor this time. If you know what's good for you, you'd better stop bringing up that incident from back then, hehehehe..."

As he laughed, his voice gradually weakened, his pupils became dilated, and his arms fell limply to his sides.

The next moment.

The massive figure, over seven meters tall, plummeted from the sky into the sea and fell silent.

"..."

Xia Nuo withdrew her gaze and shook her head.

What a show-off! This guy stole all the limelight from me.

However, considering that it saved him a Senzu Bean and saved all the people of Whole Cake Island, he decided to put aside his grudges for the time being and help the other party out.

He casually took out a few pieces of red bean bread, threw them into his mouth, and chewed them heartily. While recovering his strength, he looked around to make sure that his companions were all alright before finally arriving at the shore.

I moved my leg joints a little, and then...

He kicked Ah Yin, who was curiously looking around, down.
