As soon as they stepped into the second floor, they felt that the intensity of the battle had significantly increased.
If the battle on the first level is mainly a melee between minions, then the second level is the elite troops of the Beasts Pirates fighting a desperate battle with the samurai of Wano Country.
Yamato saw that among the people fighting, there were many members of the Beasts Pirates and even the Flying Six.
The battle is taking place in every room on this floor, and trying to stop the chaos is not as easy as before.
"Let's spread out here and stop the fighting between them room by room."
As soon as Al finished speaking, Yamato took the lead.
She quickly transformed into the form of a big-mouthed true beast, and her majestic figure quickly shuttled through the corridors of Ghost Island.
With his familiarity with Onigashima's architecture, Yamato was able to move quickly between rooms.
Whenever she sees two warring parties, she uses her frost breath to separate them.
Her icy breath was like a biting cold wind, instantly freezing the surrounding air and forming ice walls, effectively preventing the conflict from escalating further.
Among Al's team, the most efficient one is Kaya.
She cleverly used her abilities to eliminate the friction under the feet of both combatants, causing the warriors who were fighting fiercely to suddenly lose their balance.
In panic, they had to temporarily move away from their opponents to avoid being attacked by the opponent when they could not control themselves.
Nojigo used his barrier to separate the crowd, and Robin simply used his arms to tie them up tightly.
Seeing Kaya and the others' actions, Nami and the others quickly adjusted their targets and began to focus on dealing with the real fighting members of the Beasts Pirates.
She and Tashigi used powerful force to directly cut off the fighting between the Shintachi and Kidd Pirates and the Heart Pirates.
El went straight to Black Maria, one of the Six Flying Six.
Compared to Sasaki and Fuzu-Ofu who are fighting Kira, Bepo and others nearby, Black Maria is obviously more suitable for communication.
Her opponents are Usopp and the others in the Straw Hat Pirates except Sanji and Zoro.
Black Maria is huge, like a moving mountain, and each of her attacks contains a deadly poison. Even the slightest scratch can put the poisoned person into a dangerous state.
Not only that, she can also create a special kind of spider silk at will. Once this kind of spider silk is touched, it is almost impossible to escape. It can quickly entangle the enemy and bind them tightly, making them unable to move.
Therefore, this made Usopp and his team be extra cautious in battle.
Franky and Brook use their special abilities to coordinate with each other to counter Black Maria's silk.
Franky released blazing flames in an attempt to burn through the extremely sticky spider silk, while Brook used his ice ability to freeze the silk, making it brittle and fragile.
The two worked closely together to create more room for the team to move around.
Usopp used his excellent shooting skills to attack Black Maria from a distance, trying to find and attack her weak points.
Every shot is carefully calculated, aiming to inflict maximum damage to the enemy without exposing one's position.
Chopper was watching the situation on the battlefield closely, ready to provide antidote for any poisoned teammates.
When they saw El appear, the Straw Hat Pirates breathed a sigh of relief and gradually retreated, giving El the fighting space.
They knew that Al's arrival would be a crucial turning point in the battle.
Black Maria certainly knew El's strength. After all, he had fought with Kaido for many days on the beach in Shimei. This was not an opponent she could handle.
She looked at the seemingly insignificant man in front of her cautiously and asked, "Al, didn't you go out to sea with Yamato? Why are you here again?"
"Black Maria, Yamato and I came back to stop this battle. We hope to resolve the issue peacefully. Why don't you sit down and take a rest while I take Yamato and Kaido to talk before taking the next step?"
Black Maria was silent for a moment, seemingly weighing Al's proposal.
Judging from the other party's reaction, it was obvious that he also understood Al's situation. If he refused, he might be forced to rest.
As one of the Six Flying Six, if she loses her fighting ability, then the people on this level will not be able to stop the samurai coalition of Wano Country.
Black Maria said slowly, "You should also know that Lord Kaido will not change his mind easily. However, since you are willing to try, let me see if you can convince him. During this period, as long as these people don't break in, I will not take action."
Although these words did not completely eliminate the hostility, they temporarily eased the tense situation.
After hearing that El and Black Maria reached a temporary ceasefire agreement, Usopp, Chopper, Franky and Brook stayed on the outer layer to treat the injured samurai.
At this time, Yamato and other companions also came to the room where Black Maria was.
After dealing with Fuzufu and Sasaki, who were also members of the Flying Six, they came to this room that led to the third floor.
Seeing Yamato coming, Black Maria said: "Yamato, your father is fighting on the rooftop, and you brought outsiders here. Don't forget your bloodline."
Yamato stood there firmly, "I have never forgotten who I am, but it is time to stop this meaningless battle. We still have greater goals to accomplish."
Al led everyone to the third floor first, where the fight between Zoro and 'Drought' Jack was in full swing.
As soon as you step into this floor, you can feel the tense atmosphere and strong fighting spirit in the air.
Jack is huge in stature, exuding a ferocious aura like a beast. With the unparalleled defensive and recovery capabilities brought by his mammoth devil fruit ability, he almost ignores Zoro's attacks.
Even Zoro's precise and sharp sword strikes seemed to Jack to be only minor flesh wounds, which could not shake his fighting spirit at all.
Whenever Zoro tried to find a breakthrough through swordsmanship, Jack was always able to quickly counterattack with his overwhelming strength, swinging his huge weapon at Zoro, and each attack was accompanied by a deafening roar and a powerful impact.
Despite Jack's amazing strength, Zoro, with his excellent swordsmanship and calm judgment, was able to defuse his opponent's attacks time and time again and counterattack cleverly.
He responded flexibly with his signature three-sword technique. His movements were as smooth as flowing water. Each sword hit the target accurately. He tried to defeat the opponent by constantly inflicting injuries.
Seeing the arrival of El and others, Zoro said to them: "I am enough here, you can go help other places."
After hearing Zoro's words, before El could react, Jack on the other side's face instantly turned pale and he was burning with anger.
"What an arrogant boy!" Jack roared, his voice resounding throughout the battlefield like thunder.
There was a flash of angry fire in Jack's eyes, like an enraged beast ready to tear everything in front of him into pieces.
His huge body became even more solid, his muscles bulged, and it seemed as if every inch of his skin spoke of his anger towards the provocateur.
Jack wielded his massive weapon, attacking Zoro with even greater ferocity.
Every swing was accompanied by a howling of the wind, and the ground cracked because it could not withstand the force, showing Jack's terrifying strength.
Faced with such a powerful attack, Zoro still responded calmly with his excellent swordsmanship, without any sign of retreat in his eyes.
Seeing Zoro's serious look, Al nodded, "In that case, we won't bother you anymore."
El believes that with Zoro's talent and ability, defeating Jack is only a matter of time.
Then, led by Yamato, they continued walking towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
When they arrived at the fourth floor, what came into view was a fierce battle between Sanji and "Plague" Quinn.
At this time, Sanji was using his superb kicking skills to deal with Quinn's various high-tech weapons.
Faced with Quinn's endless means of attack, Sanji seemed to be at ease.
Seeing the arrival of El and the others, Sanji asked them about the battle downstairs: "El, how is the battle going downstairs?"
"Except for Zoro and Jack who are still fighting on the third floor, we have stopped the others. Do you need help?"
Sanji shook his head, "Although the opponent is a bit strong, I seem to have awakened my bloodline recently. I am confident. How about the battle with Zoro? Will that guy lose?"
"Probably not."
"That's fine. You guys go upstairs and take a look. I'm a little worried about Luffy and the others' fight. Kaido is too strong."
Among all people, Al was the only one who was not worried about Luffy's situation. In comparison, he was more interested in Quinn in front of him.
"Mr. Plague Quinn, I heard that you abandoned your child 26 years ago. Is this true?" Al asked directly.
Originally, El's arrival made Quinn a little cautious, but El's question made him curious about this young man who could be on par with Boss Kaido, "How did you know?"
"Then it seems to be true. I want to ask where you left him?" Al continued to ask.
"What's there to be curious about? Pirates have a dangerous job where one's life hangs on the belt. It's better to leave him in a safe place than to take risks with me." Quinn explained with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.
The fathers of the Straw Hat Pirates members all seem to be somewhat unsatisfactory. If you count every crew member, none of them grew up under the care of their own parents.
If Quinn was really the one who abandoned Franky, then he should be the second worst scumbag dad after Jesus.
26 years ago, Franky was abandoned by his pirate father and stayed in Water Seven.
Not only does the timing match, but Franky's scientific talent, passion for making weapons, and certain behavioral traits are all somewhat similar to Quinn's.
Chapter 241: Nine Heroes vs. Kaido
"Sanji, I won't bother you anymore. Just deal with your opponent and then bring him to Franky to see if he is his pirate father who disappeared 26 years ago." Al said with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
Hearing Al's words, Quinn's expression instantly became complicated. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he was recalling those long-forgotten past events.
After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and continued, "Even so, what does it matter? Everyone has his own destiny. I choose to be a pirate, and my child grows up in a safe place."
Sanji nodded heavily, with a hint of anger in his eyes, "Is it really Franky? Then I must be ruthless and avenge my friend."
As he spoke, he was ready to go all out, and the force of his kicks increased by three times.
Facing Sanji's change, Quinn's expression became more serious. "Do you think you can defeat me easily? Vinsmoke, I have already thoroughly studied the science and technology of your father, Vinsmoke Judge."
His words made Sanji even angrier, "Don't mention that man's name in front of me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sanji used the "Devil's Wind Kick: Spinning Burning Kick" and kicked Quinn hard.
"Vinsmoke family kid, everyone has the right to freedom of speech. You can't stop me from speaking just because you don't like to hear it."
Sanji responded to Quinn's reply with an even more violent attack, and Quinn fought back with his powerful physique and high-tech weapons, and the battle between them escalated once again.
At this point, Al and the others had already turned and were heading toward the stairs leading to higher floors.
When they arrived at this floor, the Nine Red Scabbards were fighting fiercely with King Jin, the strongest leader under Kaido.
Unlike the situation on other battlefields downstairs, here, the Nine Red Scabbards were struggling under Jinn's attack.
Jhin's figure was like an insurmountable mountain, and every swing of his weapon was accompanied by a destructive aura of fire.
Although each member of the Nine Red Scabbards represents the top combat power in Wano Country, their strength does not seem to be taken seriously by King.
As a remnant of the Lunalia tribe, Jin has already surpassed ordinary people on a biological level.
When the flames started burning on his body, his defense became extremely powerful.
The blazing flames not only provided him with strong defense, but also caused great damage to nearby enemies.
Even if everyone worked together to perform the unique skill of 'Oden's Two Swords Style: Peach Garden Ten Fists', they could not cause any harm to him.
When the flames on his body disappear, his speed will increase, like lightning, and his attack will become more fierce and difficult to resist.
Faced with Jin's almost impeccable defense and speed, each of the Nine Red Scabbards tried their best, showing great tacit understanding and tenacious will.
Seeing this scene, Al realized that if this continued, the Nine Red Scabbards would be wiped out sooner or later.
But at this time, he realized through his observation Haki that the battle upstairs was still going on, and Luffy had not yet been hit by Kaido's blow that would enlighten him.
So, he decided to let Tashigi take action first and take over the battle between the Nine Red Scabbards and Jhin.
Dashigi rushed forward with Fankfried in his hand, and the two of them started fighting in an instant.
After withdrawing from the battle, Kin'emon, who had not yet recovered, immediately proposed his plan to go downstairs to help Luffy and the others defeat Kaido.
"If you rush up like this, you might really die in the battle." Al quickly dissuaded them.
After hearing what Al said, Kin'emon straightened his back and said passionately: "As samurai, we should be fearless of life and death and move forward courageously."
However, Al was not shaken by this kind of pride. He continued to analyze calmly: "Now you can't even beat Kaido's left and right arms, so how can you hurt Kaido? Why don't you take a good rest and recover your strength first, and then see if you can help Luffy."
Kin'emon was silent for a while, his eyes swept over each member of the Nine Red Scabbards. Seeing his companions exhausted and wounded, his heart sank.
He knew that even though everyone had a firm determination, directly challenging Kaido in his current physical condition would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg.
In the end, Kin'emon nodded and accepted Al's suggestion.
It is important to avenge our lord Oden, but we cannot let our comrades blindly die.
He said slowly: "We really need to rest and recover our strength now."
At this time, Jin said to Yamato: "Yamato, is this how you bring outsiders to attack your father?"
There was a hint of confusion and anger in his tone, as if he couldn't understand Yamato's choice.
Yamato responded calmly: "I am not against father, I just hope to end this battle and let father lead everyone to withdraw from Wano Country."
A complicated look flashed in Jin's eyes. He didn't know how the other party had bewitched Yamato and made her rebel against her father.
He quickly turned his gaze away from Yamato and focused again on the battlefield in front of him, his attention returning to Dashigi who was engaged in a fierce battle with him.
At this time, Tashigi had found the rhythm of fighting with Jhin. Every swing of her sword and every dodge seemed more confident and smoother, which made it difficult for Jhin to find any opportunity to distract himself.
