"Great Impact! Skybreaker!"

Under Redfield's stunned gaze, Gin's grin grew even more twisted and deranged.

The hammer in his hand swung with such force that it whipped up violent gusts of wind.

Jet-black Armament Haki coated the already dark hammer, giving it a glossy sheen.

Simultaneously, a powerful shockwave erupted from the hammer's surface as it swung toward Redfield, carrying a strangely familiar sensation.

"Sengoku's shockwave?"

BOOM!

Redfield was sent flying back just as fast as he had charged forward!

Gin's body spun mid-air, his twin hammers moving like perfect works of art, tracing arcs in the air as they unleashed shockwaves resembling streaking meteors.

One after another, they struck Redfield's tumbling body.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Caught completely off guard, Redfield was humiliatingly blasted away by Gin's Haki-enhanced shockwaves, crashing violently into the ground right in front of Caesar and Shanks, sinking deep into the dirt.

"Oh?" Caesar raised an eyebrow in surprise, turning to look at Gin, who had shot towards them like a cannonball, shockwaves erupting beneath his feet.

"Kid, what's your name?"

Gin bared his teeth in a sinister grin.

"Gin! I'm a user of the Paramecia-type Impact-Impact Fruit. I heard your crew has so-called 'God-level Members' who stand as equals with you?"

Caesar threw his head back with a booming laugh.

"Borororo! You want to become a God-level Member of my Beast God Pirates? Kid, aren't you getting ahead of yourself? My crew has countless brats like you, but God-level fighters? Right now, there's only—!"

Facing the soul-crushing pressure of Caesar's terrifying aura, Gin didn't back down an inch.

Instead, he stood even taller, his own formidable presence radiating from his two-meter-plus frame.

"Conqueror's Haki? Borororo! What a promising brat! I like you! Today, I'll give you a chance—kill that old geezer and you'll be a God-level Member of my Beast God Pirates! Normally, you'd have to defeat an Admiral to earn that title. Redfield, the Red Count, is nothing but a dying dog now. Kid! Can you do it?!"

Caesar's mouth split open, revealing rows of fangs as his overwhelming presence crushed Gin's Conqueror's Haki, forcing the still-weak haki back into the young man's body.

Gin's face flushed crimson as he gritted his teeth and let out a low growl.

"Caesar! just watch me!"

Caesar's massive frame trembled, his face revealing a pleased expression.

"Brat, if you fail, I'll twist your head off and drink with it!"

Gin's body shot forward like a leopard, his hammer smashing towards the deep pit beneath their feet.

"Don't get too cocky! You're just a weak insect!"

Redfield was so embarrased because he had been sent flying by a brat young enough to be his grandson—and in front of several powerful figures at that.

This shattered the pride of the already arrogant Redfield instantly, twisting his face into a vicious snarl.

A ferocious, bloodthirsty aura erupted from his body as the sword in his hand pierced through dozens of meters of earth in an instant, stabbing directly at Gin's hammer!

"Sword Technique! Starlight Impact!"

Two forces of impact collided—Redfield merely paused for a moment, while Gin was sent flying over a hundred meters by his sword, flipping midair before landing on the ice.

Redfield's fleshy wings flapped on his back as his body blurred into an afterimage, charging straight at Gin.

"Borororo! Humiliated by a brat. Red bastard, Black bastard, let's keep going."

Caesar's face was wreathed in a delighted grin, his mood seemingly improved in an instant.

With a smile, his massive blade, Zhulong, erupted with overwhelming bloodlust!

"Red Demon! Eightfold Secret Art—Crimson Lotus!"

'Who the hell is 'Red bastard'? Not even Captain Roger called me that!'

Shanks' face twisted with anger as he swung his sword fiercely!

"Griffin's Blade! Divine Fall!"

"Air Tremor!!"

A golden radiance blazed from Shanks' sword, like a sun plummeting from the sky, bathing the entire sea in a golden glow.

CRACK!

Caesar's blade, carrying unstoppable force, instantly sent Shanks—whose physique was slightly inferior to him—flying!

Meanwhile, Blackbeard had already raised his right fist, leaping high before smashing a punch directly at Caesar's face!

Spiderweb-like cracks spread through the air as space shattered like glass.

Endless shockwaves roared forth, sending Caesar's massive body flying for the first time—like a meteor, he smashed through countless rocks and earth before crashing deep into the thick ice.

Shards of ice scattered everywhere, glinting with a dreamlike chill under the sunlight.

"Let's go together!"

Shanks roared, stepping on air as he lunged forward to pursue Caesar.

Blackbeard waved a hand, and a dark portal appeared midair.

"With the Dark Space, we'll get there instantly!" Blackbeard shouted.

Shanks hesitated for a moment before diving in.

Blackbeard raised an eyebrow but suppressed his urge to scheme against Shanks.

'Red Hair doesn't have a Devil Fruit ability—his Haki is too strong. The Dark Space might not kill him. Can't take that risk.'

Space warped, and in less than a second—almost like teleportation—Blackbeard and Shanks abruptly appeared beside Caesar.

"Air Tremor!"

"Divine Departure!"

BOOOOOOM!!

The sky shattered and the earth split.

Though the endless sea was frozen solid, preventing any tsunamis, the terrifying power of the three titans still sent shockwaves through hundreds of miles of glacial land, shaking violently as if on the verge of collapse.

****

Meanwhile, Gin and Redfield's battle was like two madmen fighting at the peak of insanity.

"Hahaha, Redfield! Since you're a vampire from the old era, you should stay in your coffin! Great Impact! Roar of the Mad Dragon!"

Gin swung his two massive hammers like a whirlwind, sending shockwaves rippling through the air as they clashed repeatedly with Redfield's sword.

"Heheheh, brat, if not for the blood I've lost, I could have cut you down with a single strike!"

Redfield, seething with anger, infused his sword with Armament Haki and forcefully deflected Gin's hammer.

With a swift upward slash, he sliced open Gin's cheek and severed half of his left ear.

Yet Gin seemed unfazed.

His right hammer shattered the air as it slammed violently into Redfield's chest.

BOOM!

Redfield's body exploded into a swarm of black bats, only to reform instantly into the cloaked old man in crimson-purple, thrusting his sword at Gin once more.

Not far away, Moria stared blankly at Redfield's technique, then glanced down at the shadows beneath his feet.

"You old fucker, don't you have any moves of your own?"

Suddenly, two earth-shaking roars echoed simultaneously from the sky!

"WORORORO! Red Hair, Blackbeard, aren't you ashamed of yourself, ganging up on my brother like this?!"

"Mamamama, Teach, so you're the one causing trouble in the New World these days, trying to ruin our Tea Party? You've chosen the wrong path!"
