'g!!!'

  'Bang!!!'

  "Mighty Nation!!!"

  'Boom boom...'

  "Hakoku Snty!!!"

  'Boom boom... rumble rumble...'

  On Franca Isnd—

  The ground split open, colpsing in pces, as tinuous tremors echoed across the nd, making the isnd itself seem to cry out in agony.

  The deafening thunder of powerful cshes reverberated across the surrounding sea.

  In their huma forms, El and Linlin unleashed their full might, turning into unstoppable, destructive forces. They took turns, sometimes joining together, to une devastating assault after anainst Kong, the Navy admiral, pressing him with uing fury.

  With El, a monstrous Lunarian, in the fray, Kong struggled to suppress Linlin, who wielded her formidable strength to its fullest. Again and again, she employed deadly teiques from the Elbaf Giant , ung unceasing attacks that gave Kong e.

  'Rumble rumble rumble...'

  Over time, the entire isnd had been battered beynition, riddled with gaping holes and scars. Massive fissures and enormous treretched across the terrain in all dires.

  'g!!!'

  A massive fist collided with a bde. Kong, already bloodied, gritted his teeth and held on with sheer grit, though he was soo flying backward. He crashed into the ground, which caved under him, sending a massive cloud of dust into the air.

  "Mighty Nation!!!"

  With murderous i, Linlin followed up without hesitation.

  'Whoosh—' A powerful wave of sword energy shot forward, striking Kong before he could evade. All he could do was raise his Haki-coated arms to shield himself.

  'Boom!!!'

  A massive explosioed. Dust surged, rocks flew, and Kong’s bloodied form was bsted backward, hurtling through the air.

  "Ugh..." Coughing up blood, Kong, now drenched in it, struggled in the cratered, fractured ruins, gring furiously at Charlotte Linlin. If it hadn’t been for El, this Lunarian monster, she wouldn’t have been able to injure him with her current power. Thankfully, despite her strength, she still couldn’t match El’s deadly prowess. Otherwise, fag the bined assault of these two inhuman monsters would have left him with no hope of survival.

  It was only thanks to his mastery of Life Return, which allowed him to suppress his injuries, and his Mythical Zoan form, King Kong Ape, which granted him immeamina, resilience, and recovery, that he had mao hold out this long.

  "They’re here, damn it..."

  El’s expression shifted. He sensed multiple powerful Haki users rapidly approag. These newers advanced swiftly, strategically spreading out to encircle the isnd, aiming to trap both El, the Fallen Angel, and Charlotte Linlin, allowing no escape.

  "Your resilience is impressive!!!"

  With a fierce gaze, El’s eyes hardened. Without mercy, he raised his Great Halberd, crag with blindiricity and tinged with bd-red lightning, and swung it down toward Kong.

  "Mighty Nation!!!"

  "King Kong Chariot!!!"

  With his face covered in blood and fury in his eyes, Ko out a desperate rathering every ounce of his strength to swing his fists in a final, frenzied defense.

  'Boom!!!'

  A deafening explosion shook the heavens, and the entire isnd quaked violently. A massive trench sshed across the already devastated nd.

  'Crash...' A terrifyirench appeared in the o beyond, marking the sheer power of El’s attack—a power on a pletely different level pared to Linlin’s.

  Though Koed with all his might, his heavily wounded body was no match. Once again, he was sent flying through the air.

  'Flutter—' Like a ghostly shadow, a figure lunged forward. With a sinister grin, it sank sharp fangs into Kong’s neck, puncturing even his seemingly iructible skin.

  "Get off!!!" Kong struggled desperately, his face paling as he felt his strength drain away. Even his blood seemed te backward, threatening to spill out untrolbly.

  'Ssh—'

  Without hesitatioensed every muscle, c himself with Haki to barely taierrifying force that threateo drain him entirely. Yet, a signifit amount of blood had already been lost, and a few strands of his hair had turned frost-white at the temples.

  He swung a powerful punch, but before it could ect, Linlin darted back with lightning speed.

  "Ma-ma-ma-ma, as expected of a Navy Admiral—what a shame..."

  Feeling his strength waning further, Kong gred murderously at Linlin. "Damn it, what did you do to me?"

  With a predatrin, Linlin wiped blood from the er of her mouth. "Oh, nothing much—just took away twenty years of your life, Admiral."

  "Night Demon Assault!!"

  Before her words finished, with blood still on her lips and a demonic grin, she swung her massive, blood-streaked sword without hesitation.

  'Ssh Spark!'

  Kong’s feet smmed into the ground as he barely dodged the attack, his rage fueling his evasion. The colossal blood-red ssh tore through the earth, leaving an immense, bottomless gash.

  "Fallen Angel El—" Just then—

  On the distant horizon—

  A giant thunderbird appeared, fpping its wings as it approached. On its back stood several figures, radiating powerful auras.

  'Fsh—'

  But before Kong could catch his breath, El charged forward with lethal i. Ign everything else, he rushed in for the kill.

  'Whoosh—'

  A massive spear tip, ed in bd red lightning, sshed fiercely downward. Sensing it with his Haki, Kong’s hair stood on end. But his injuries had left him slow; weakened, blood-drained, and with his life force reduced, he had no time to block or dodge.

  With wide eyes, he braced himself. "Armament Hardening: Iron Body!!!"

  'g!!!'

  "Aaargh..."

  Blood spttered as Kong’s battered form took the brutal hit. His face torted as he spat blood, a deep, bone-revealing wound torn across his torso. He let out a pained scream as he flew backward like a onball.

  "Damn it—"

  "Fallen Angel El!!!"

  "Bastard!!!"

  'Crack crack crack...'

  'Whoosh—whoosh—'

  Hundreds of meters out over the o—

  A bolt of lightning shot forward with deadly precision. Apanied by waves of sshes and shockwaves, the relentless attacks rained down.

  "Silver Reination Burst!!"

  El moved like lightning, swift and unyielding. His four wings crackled with electricity, iwining with a fierce hurrie as he swept through the sky.

  'Whoosh... whoosh...' A massive tornado, infused with endless lightning, filled the horizon. Unstoppable, it barreled toward the o, unleashing a terrifying force of wind and thunder.

  'Boom boom boom!!!'
