The roar of the golden lion came from the distant sky, shaking the clouds.

Roy's lips curled into a cold smile, and he suddenly unleashed his telekinetic power.

He forcefully froze the three floating rocks in mid-air, bringing their forward momentum to an abrupt halt.

The rock mass trembled violently in mid-air, and fine cracks began to appear on its surface, with gravel falling down in a rustling sound.

Golden Lion was forced to distract himself from Roy's telekinesis.

The floating island beneath his feet swayed slightly, and the movement of his twin swords slowed down a beat.

Kaido would never let this opportunity slip by.

The Azure Dragon's tail swept across the Golden Lion with immense force, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

The golden lion somersaulted several times in the air before regaining its balance, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of its mouth.

"Kaido! You took advantage of my vulnerability!" Shiki cursed.

"Hehehehe! Who talks about fairness on the battlefield!"

Kaido opened his mouth wide, and blue dragon breath was brewing again deep in his throat.

But just as Roy was distracted by controlling the floating rock, Lingling's attack arrived.

The Napoleon sword in her hand had swelled to nearly twice its original size, and flames and lightning crackled simultaneously on its blade.

Prometheus's flames and Zeus's thunderbolts were simultaneously poured into the blade, and the three forces intertwined and fused wildly on the blade.

The flames turned the blade red-hot, lightning crackled and danced within the flames, and Conqueror's Haki transformed into a purplish-black halo that enveloped the three powers, forcibly fusing them into one.

"Emperor's Sword - Break!!!"

Lingling raised Napoleon high with both hands and slashed down fiercely at Roy.

A purple-black slash wave, formed by the fusion of flames, lightning, and Conqueror's Haki, hurtled toward Roy with an aura of annihilation.

Roy's eyes narrowed.

Charlotte Linlin's attack was so powerful that it was too late for her to dodge.

Roy had to withdraw the portion of his mind that had been diverted and concentrate all his mental energy on building a defense in front of him.

The psychic barrier instantly strengthened to its limit, and visible semi-transparent ripples appeared on its surface. At the same time, Roy's own Armament Haki hardened and covered his entire body.

boom--!!!

The emperor's sword struck the psychic barrier, causing the entire barrier to tremble violently, with cracks spreading wildly outward from the point of impact.

Flames and lightning exploded on the surface of the barrier, sending sparks flying hundreds of meters away, burning holes in the ice.

The sea beneath Roy's feet could not withstand the impact, and a crater tens of meters in diameter collapsed downwards from him.

Roy was knocked back dozens of meters by the blow, his feet carving two deep furrows in the water.

The exploding water and the water falling from the sky all landed on the barrier.

But his expression didn't change at all; although the psychic barrier showed cracks, it ultimately didn't break.

"Mama! Is it blocked?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lingling's eyes.

Her Emperor Sword was the strongest attack combining three attributes, something even Kaido would have to take seriously, yet Roy actually caught it head-on.

"Not bad."

Roy's figure floated back into the air.

"The wind-up animation is too long."

But in the few breaths that Roy withdrew his psychic powers, the situation on Shiki's side changed.

Without Roy's psychic suppression, Golden Lion immediately regained control of the three floating rocks.

Not only that,

Taking advantage of the lull in Kaido's attack, he also created more floating rocks and accelerated his advance towards Onigashima.

Like a group of sharks smelling blood, the floating islands bypassed Kaido's defenses from all sides and surrounded Onigashima.

"Hehehehe!"

The golden lion's maniacal laughter echoed through the sky.

"Roy! You're a hundred years too early to stop me!"

"That stupid dragon Kaido can't stop me by himself!"

Before he finished speaking, the officers of the Flying Pirates under Golden Lion's command also jumped down from the floating rock.

They stepped on the rubble manipulated by Shiki's Float-Float Fruit powers, rushing towards Onigashima as if they were on levitating platforms.

The leading cadres,

A fish-man who controls jellyfish, a swordsman whose arms are blades, and a burly fat man are the fastest, having already crossed the coastline.

Meanwhile, the multinational fleet has already bypassed the main battlefield.

Perospero stood at the bow of the ship, licking a lollipop, his eyes filled with determination.

On the deck behind him, Smoothie, Cracker, Snamon, Brownie, and all his children were fully equipped and ready to go, and the deck was packed with combatants.

Roy steadied himself and scanned the entire battlefield with his Observation Haki.

The Golden Lion's floating islands are approaching Onigashima, the Whole Cake Island fleet is circling around, the Flying Pirates' executives have landed, and Big Mom is still blocking his way.

Kaido lost too many floating islands to Shiki, leaving him unable to manage them all. Although his dragon breath could destroy some of the floating rocks, Shiki kept creating new ones, making it impossible to clear them all.

Further away, those naval presences remained motionless in place.

But Roy knew they weren't standing still; they were waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

"Trying to steal Hades?"

Roy's voice turned cold, and a long-suppressed anger flashed in his eyes.

"It all depends on whether you have the luck."

Roy's gaze swept towards Ghost Island.

According to his Observation Haki, Onigashima had already set up a defensive line, and Jin's black wings hovered above Hades.

Quinn's Gatling gun array was set up, Jack's troops blocked the port entrance, and the Flying Five took their positions.

Although the defense line has not yet been tested in actual combat, the framework has already been built.

The most troublesome thing right now is not Lingling in front of us, nor the floating islands of the Golden Lion, but the auras of the navy in the distance.

Garp, Zephyr, and the three admirals—the Navy has committed all its high-end combat power, but it hasn't brought the main fleet.

The purpose is self-evident.

They didn't come to wage a full-scale war; they came to take advantage of the chaos to destroy Hades.

As soon as Pluto is destroyed, the Navy will immediately retreat.

Roy considered the situation for a moment, then suddenly used his telekinesis to connect with Kaido, who was chasing the Golden Lion in the distant sky.

His voice entered Kaido's mind directly, as clear as if it were speaking right next to his ear.

"Kaido, change the person."

"You deal with Lingling, I'll fight the Golden Lion."

Kaido's dragon head turned around, a hint of doubt flashing in his large, bell-like eyes.

"Why? Because I'm really having a good time!"

"Golden Lion's floating island can launch a surprise attack on Oni Island. My psychic powers can compete with him for control. I am more agile than him in the air."

Lingling's attack methods are not as maneuverable in the air as mine, but she is tough and resilient, so your brute force is more suitable for dealing with her head-on.

and--"

Roy paused, a hint of coldness creeping into his voice.

"The navy is still watching from a distance; we need to resolve the current problem as soon as possible."

Kaido remained silent for a moment.

He may be reckless, but he's not stupid.

Every reason Roy gave was valid—psychic powers have a restraining effect on the Float-Float Fruit, and his Azure Dragon form has an advantage in directly confronting Linlin's Steel Balloon.

"Alright!" Kaido nodded, and said no more.
