Chapter 191: The Destruction of Onigashima!
Within the borders of Wano Country, as the Marine landed in Kuri, the entire nation was engulfed in the shadow of war.
Finally, as night fell, a gunshot echoed through the sky, marking the sudden commencement of the operation to eliminate the remnants of the Beasts Pirates.
Entering Kuri Bakura Town, the Udon Quarry and the Port of Itachi, as well as the Port of Habu and Onigashima, the Marine launched simultaneous attacks.
Amidst the dense gunfire, the remnants of the Beasts Pirates in Bakura Town, who had already lost their will to fight after Kaido execution and the annihilation of their main forces, were quickly overwhelmed and controlled by the surging Marine forces.
The Udon Quarry was also swiftly occupied.
Soon after, the entire Kibi region was completely under Marine control.
The only resistance left came from the remnants of the Beasts Pirates stationed on Onigashima.
"Damn it, hold your ground!"
"The Beasts Pirates will never yield!"
Amidst the barrage of gunfire, a figure burst out from the command room, roaring at the retreating pirates on Onigashima.
"Hold the line! Anyone who retreats dies!"
The one who emerged from the command room was a young boy, around fourteen years old, wearing a white and green horned hat and a half-black, half-white mask.
Despite his young age, he was already one of the Flying Six of the Beasts Pirates and a user of the Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Spinosaurus.
This was Page One, the son of the former Beasts Pirates' top executive, Hanafuda.
After Hanafuda left the Beasts Pirates to become one of the Shichibukai, Page One was adopted by Kaido as his foster son.
"Page One, Page One—"
At that moment, a girl who appeared to be sixteen years old broke through the Marines encirclement and quickly made her way to Page One, urgently saying.
"We can't hold Onigashima alone. You need to leave! I'll cover you!"
This was Ulti, Page One sister, also adopted by Kaido after their father Hanafuda left the Beasts Pirates.
She was a user of the Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pachycephalosaurus and one of the Flying Six under the Beasts Pirates.
Wearing a light pink flower-patterned mask, Ulti dodged the incoming bullets while anxiously shouting.
"Hurry, Page One! If the Marine Vice Admiral arrives, we won't have a chance!"
Before she could finish her words, Ulti pink round eyes suddenly widened and her blue bow-tied cape billowed without wind.
Immediately after, an invisible pressure swept over, enveloping both her and Page One.
"NEE-SAN!"
Feeling the sudden overwhelming pressure, Page One eyes turned crimson as he stared ahead, gritting his teeth.
"I'm not leaving. I will avenge Father!"
"Avenge him?"
"You won't get the chance!"
The one who brought this invisible pressure upon the siblings was none other than Vice Admiral Momonga.
With his long sword already drawn, Momonga slightly raised his head to look at the siblings across from him, then spoke.
"Surrender, and you may live. Otherwise, not only will you fail to avenge him, but you will also die here!"
"Damn it!"
Feeling the immense pressure bearing down on her, Ulti cursed silently in her heart, then stepped forward to stand in front of Page One, urgently saying.
"Paypay, go!"
Before her words could fully leave her mouth, Ulti suddenly lunged forward, appearing instantly in front of Momonga.
Her spiked club, wrapped in a violent wave of energy, swung toward him.
The strike came down with overwhelming force.
"How foolish!"
Facing Ulti domineering attack, Momonga neither dodged nor evaded.
Instead, he raised his longsword to meet the descending spiked club head-on.
BOOM—
The moment their weapons collided, a terrifying shockwave erupted from the point of impact, instantly knocking the surrounding pirates off their feet.
"Incredible strength!"
Momonga pupils contracted slightly as he blocked Ulti strike.
"To possess such monstrous power at such a young age. If you were allowed to grow, what kind of threat would you become?"
Before the words had fully left his mouth, Momonga stepped forward abruptly.
His longsword slid along the spiked club, sending sparks flying as it shot straight toward Ulti face with blinding speed.
Ulti had no time to dodge.
Seeing the sword coming at her face with brutal force, she leaned forward instead of retreating. While pressing down on her spiked club with both hands, she jerked her head backward.
A faint hum echoed as her head was instantly coated in Armament Haki.
The next moment—
"Ulti Head Cannon!"
With a cold shout, her Haki-coated headbutt met the oncoming sword.
BOOM—
Another deafening explosion rang out as both Momonga and Ulti were sent flying backward.
The shockwave from their collision swept outward once more, stirring up thick clouds of dust.
"Impressive!"
Momonga couldn't help but praise her, even as he was forced back.
"To master Armament Haki at such a young age and wield it to this extent. I was going to give you a chance, but now I see that if I don't root you out, you'll become a major threat in the future!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying aura swept across the battlefield, causing the ground to shake violently.
Immediately after, Page One who had been under Ulti protection, let out a deafening roar.
Before Momonga could react, Page One, who had seemed harmless just a moment ago, transformed into a massive, ferocious Spinosaurus.
"Marines, I'll fight you to the Death!"
Without hesitation, Page One now in his Spinosaurus form, charged at Momonga, swinging his long tail.
"This path is closed, kid!"
At that moment, a calm voice rang out from a distance.
As the words fell, Vice Admiral Yamakaji appeared with astonishing speed, wielding a katana and holding a cigar between his teeth.
He intercepted Page One with a smile. "Kaido has been executed, and the three Calamities of the Beasts Pirates have been wiped out. Your resistance is meaningless now! If you surrender, I believe, given your age, your crimes won't warrant a Death Sentence!"
"Die, Marine!"
Page One, in his Spinosaurus form, wasn't listening.
With a roar, he opened his massive jaws and charged at Yamakaji.
"If you're so eager to die"
"Then I'll grant your wish!"
Seeing Page One stubborn refusal to yield, Yamakaji smile vanished.
He took a step forward to meet the charging Spinosaurus.
As a cold glint flashed, his katana was instantly enveloped in Armament Haki, its blade turning pitch black and gleaming ominously.
Just as Yamakaji had wrapped his katana in Armament Haki, Page One charged straight at him.
In the blink of an eye, as Page One massive ferocious jaws were about to clamp down on him, Yamakaji swiftly swung his blade, delivering several lightning-fast slashes.
Swish, swish, swish—
Brilliant sword energy erupted into the air, instantly weaving a massive net in front of Yamakaji.
Immediately after, a series of piercing sounds rang out and clouds of blood mist rose from Page One body.
"PAYPAY!"
Ulti, who was being restrained by Momonga, witnessed this scene and let out a panicked scream.
However, the response to her cry was a thunderous crash as Page One body slammed heavily to the ground, his front leg severed by Yamakaji blade.
Ulti's pupils contracted and she let out a long, furious roar.
In the next moment, her Devil Fruit ability erupted and she transformed into a massive Pachycephalosaurus, towering over Momonga and Yamakaji.
"Bastards!"
"I'm going to crush you!"
Even in her Pachycephalosaurus form, Ulti still wore her bow-tied cape and the light pink mask on her mouth remained intact.
As her voice filled with boundless hatred echoed, her head swiftly rose before she brought it down with a speed impossible to follow, smashing toward Momonga and Yamakaji.
"Ulti Head Rain!"
