Paper Paper Fruit In One Piece

"Destruction Cannon!" 

Ideo was able to create explosive shockwaves not through any special ability, but by using the energy he stored in his bent elbow. That's right, he's actually from the Longarm Tribe. He just bends one section of his arm to his shoulder, creating two 'protrusions.' 

"Great Turtle Shield!" 

His opponent from the Beasts Pirates, 'True Strike,' raised his left hand with a shield, and a tough turtle shell surrounded with Armament Haki blocked Eddie's destruction cannon. With a sudden grab, he transformed into a black shadow shooting out. 

"Fast Turtle Bite!" 

"Tsk," 

With an annoyed grunt, Ideo raised his other hand to block, knocking away his opponent's right hand. 

"So, the Beasts Pirates are just a group of wild beasts, huh?" 

Whoosh— 

An arrow, shooting through the air from the side, interrupted Ideo's words. The arrow, surrounded by Haki, was followed by strong winds, sweeping like a comet. As it flew, the air howled and roared. Though the speed of the arrow was far beyond the speed of sound, Eddie was still the champion of the 'New World Central Fighting Tournament V2.' 

In a quick movement, he dodged the arrow, but then a violent explosion spread from where the arrow hit the ground, like a massive wave rushing forward, shattering the hard granite into flying shards. The surrounding area was engulfed in a heatwave for dozens of meters—this arrow's power was just as strong as a Marine heavy cannon, and its speed far exceeded it! 

"Watch your mouth. Our Beasts Pirates are not something you puny fish can look down on!" 

A woman with purple goggles and black-and-white hair, her long ears adorned with an earring, wearing a white and blue bodysuit with her chest exposed, and with the lower half of her body as that of a horse, galloped across the battlefield at high speed. She even had time to "teach" Eddie a lesson. 

"By opposing the Beasts Pirates, you'll end up as a laborer in the mines!!" 

Tsk! As the dust settled, true heroes revealed themselves. 

When facing Doflamingo, most people who were turned into toys fought back with all their might. But when it came to the Beasts Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, fewer and fewer people remained on the battlefield. After some calm reflection, many quietly slipped away—not because they had given up, but to deal with Doflamingo's subordinates around the battlefield. As for fighting the Beasts Pirates directly... 

"What Beasts Pirates? Get out of my way!!" 

Without Jack, Green Pepper's fury exploded, charging head-on, and even the 'True Strike' of the Beasts Pirates didn't dare face him head-on! As the family from the distant West Blue's Flower Kingdom, Green Pepper and his grandsons weren't afraid of Kaido at all. 

"Beautiful Sword, Slash, Stardust Prince!" 

Like a noble gentleman, Cavendish slashed his sword, 'Durandal,' across the ground, creating a trail hundreds of meters long. Then, following that trail, he slashed the sword upwards, cutting through the air with incredible speed!

As Cavendish's sword slashed through the air, countless dazzling specks of light scattered in all directions, densely filling the trajectory of his sword strike. It was as if he had cut out a three-dimensional painting of stars. 

The stars twinkled brightly, seemingly harmless, flying straight out. Yet, wherever they passed, all light around them dimmed, while the starry glow grew even stronger. Anything in the path of these stars, whether flesh or steel, buildings or rocks, was instantly pierced and shattered. 

With one strike, all enemies in the path quietly fell to the ground, defeated by the starlight. 

Hmm, gathering the sword's energy into starlight—quite a clever technique. And it suits Cavendish's character perfectly: magnificent and dazzling! 

While engaging in a back-and-forth with Jack, who was also trying to stall for time, Roman could observe the entire battlefield. 

Cavendish's strength was certainly impressive, able to hold his own against the likes of Green Pepper in normal form, and in his 'White Horse' state, he could even take down the formidable Dellinger with a single strike. In the original story, he was the only one unscathed after the whole Dressrosa saga. 

Now, with Jack no longer a threat, Cavendish began to rampage. 

"Isn't there anyone stronger? I'm about to fall asleep here!" 

There were indeed strong opponents, but on the battlefield, everyone stronger than him was already engaged in serious combat. Who had time to deal with someone like him, who just wanted to show off? As Roman and Jack tumbled and fought in another area, battles elsewhere were already shifting. 

"Ha ha ha, it must be tough to fight on one leg in this shaky ground, right?" 

Using his "Ripple-Ripple Fruit" powers to make the ground unstable, Diamante mocked the former army commander of Dressrosa, and Rebecca's father, the one-legged Kyros, who had regained his human form. 

"This leg was sacrificed for my benefactor. It's my pride!" 

"Then how about you try to take this move?" 

Diamante pulled out several fireworks and launched a sky full of paper fragments, which floated and then reformed into sharp thorned iron balls before suddenly falling in a dense, impenetrable iron rain from above. 

"This move can wipe out an entire army! Ha ha ha~~" 

As Diamante boasted, the white pigeon in the sky easily dodged the falling iron balls, rolling its eyes. 

What a joke! A swordsman fighting with props? And these tiny iron balls? Was this supposed to be for scratching the Armament Haki users? Even without Armament Haki: boom, boom, boom— 

Kyros stood still in the "iron rain," his muscles tensed, unmoving on his one leg, his body as straight as a statue! "An army that could be wiped out by toys like yours isn't worth being called an army!" 

"?! No, it can't be! Did you learn Armament Haki on your own?" 

Diamante stared, shocked. "You don't even feel the pain?" 

"Pain is the proof of a human's existence." 

With the iron rain falling on him, Kyros suddenly charged at Diamante! 

"And this little pain of mine—compared to the suffering of an entire country for ten years—what does it even matter?" 

"Damn it, don't underestimate my swordsmanship!" 

Suddenly, Diamante's sword shook with Armament Haki as he met Kyros, who had never been formally trained in the art. 

Diamante wielded a finely crafted sword, while Kyros only held an ordinary gladiator's blade. Diamante had perfect form and energy, while Kyros was battered from Diamante's Devil Fruit powers. On all fronts, Diamante had the advantage. But when Kyros struck— 

"Thunder Slash!" 

A surge of blood and energy exploded! The army scattered, and anyone within ten steps was dead. 

Kyros's sword wasn't as varied as Roman's or as grand as Zoro's, but it was incredibly fierce, filled with suppressed anger! It was a desperate, final strike, seeking to wipe out everything in its path! This was the culmination of ten years of grief and revenge! 

"Destruction Sword!!" 

Snap! 

There was no blinding light, no huge slash, just a simple cut—but it split Diamante's sword, wrapped in Haki, in two. 

With a sickening crack, Diamante's face twisted in disbelief, and his upper body and half of his right arm separated at the waist. Before he could even scream, his shattered bones and organs scattered, splattering blood everywhere. 

A one-hit kill!

"Scarlet..." 

My dear Scarlet, kind Scarlet, my forever princess Scarlet... 

"I know you hate killing, but just this once." 

Kyros would never regret it! Diamante, dead. 

------------------ 

"Diamante!" 

Tears streaming down his face, Trebol frantically looked toward their boss. 

"Doflamingo, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, Diamante he..." 

"Dammit!" 

Doflamingo, who had been fighting evenly with Luffy, was nearly thrown off balance by this 'teammate' and quickly responded. 

"Don't lose your cool. We'll avenge him!" 

------------------ 

"Trebol, you're just a 'puppet' in Doflamingo's hands. Look at you now..." 

After being knocked out in battle and exhausted, Law, who had been caught by Doflamingo's combo, sat slumped, mocking Trebol. 

"In battle, you've achieved nothing, and when there are casualties, you freeze up." 

"People like you are only fooling yourselves into thinking Doflamingo sees you as 'family'!" 

"What did you say!!" 

Covered in slime, Trebol immediately lost his composure and swung his staff at Law, though he couldn't hide his inner panic. — That's right, he had lost the most important person to Doflamingo's family, Sugar. Although Doflamingo verbally forgave him, what about in his heart? "Trebol, don't fall for it!" 

In the heat of battle, Doflamingo loudly warned Trebol. He truly considered these subordinates, who had followed him since childhood, as 'family.' But... 

"Dof, watch me take out this little brat, Law—" 

Whoosh!! 

With a flash of the blade, Law, who had appeared half-dead moments before, suddenly stood up and killed the slime-covered Trebol with a single strike. 

"Wh... what happened...?" 

"See," Law calmly sheathed his sword. "I told you, you're an idiot." 

With simple words, Trebol was thrown off balance, and in front of Law, who knew his secrets, without Doflamingo's protection, even the so-called 'high-ranking officers' were easily defeated. 

Of course, the few green papers stuck to Law's body were also why he could get back up and continue fighting. 

Trebol, exit stage left.

"I'm sick of playing this whack-a-mole game." 

After a long time, Zoro put his headband back on and unsheathed all three of his swords. This meant Zoro was going all out! 

"Hey, cook!" 

Facing a giant stone statue that stood over a thousand meters tall, Zoro appeared tiny, like an ant beneath it. Although Zoro wasn't afraid of these massive creatures, his mobility... 

"What's up? Mosshead!" 

Sanji, who had just taken down Dellinger, raced over. 

"Send me up there, I'm going to chop that rock to pieces!" 

In response to Zoro's request, Sanji, rushing over, immediately struck a flying kick pose. Meanwhile, Zoro began reciting a chant: "Nine mountains, eight seas, for one world, gather a thousand realms to form the 'small thousand worlds'..." 

"Aerial Kick!" 

With Sanji's gentle kick, Zoro was sent flying like a cannonball toward the stone giant's waist. At the same time, he spun his three swords! The black Armament Haki wrapped around his blades, and he continued chanting. 

"In this world times three, no one can stop me, Three-Sword Style secret technique... Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds!!" 

Slash!!! 

As Zoro flew through the air, his blade, infused with Armament Haki, the peak of sword intent, and the deadly aura of a demon, merged into a single, compressed, destructive slash. 

Whoosh—

The blade flashed, instantly slicing through a massive city-sized figure, a giant that stood a thousand meters tall! Ordinary giants were like rats in front of it, and even the demon Otsu was no taller than its calf. The stone giant was split in half with a single strike! This blade could truly split mountains! It could break the seas! Such an exaggerated, world-shattering blade made everyone on the battlefield turn their heads. 

In the next moment, before the fierce expression of the giant's upper body even had time to fade, Zoro, who had already turned around and flown back, slashed again, splitting the giant right down the middle! 

The rock on the right was moving! The main body was over there— 

With each of Zoro's strikes, the giant stone figure was being neatly and swiftly cleaved apart in mid-air. The Pika inside the rock, like a mouse squeezed into a shrinking space, had no place left to escape. 

"Do you think forcing me out means you've won?" 

A sharp, thin voice sounded as Pika jumped out from the shrinking stones, his body covered in a metallic glow! 

"In front of my Armament Haki—" 

Splat! Before he could finish speaking, blood splattered! Zoro raised an eyebrow after the slash. 

"What did you just say?" 

Looking at Pika, whose eyes were rolled back and blood gushing from a deep wound across his chest, Zoro sheathed his sword. 

Forget it, it probably wasn't important. 

Pika was defeated.
