"Huh? This woman is an Admiral? Caesar, are you mistaken? I've never heard of the Marine recruiting a female Admiral," Linlin exclaimed, scrutinizing Aramaki from head to toe, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Caesar sighed. "She's that Ryokugyu. Somehow, she's turned into a woman now. Borororo! These Marine guys really know how to have fun—even changing genders at will. I've got to hand it to them."

Aramaki's face flushed crimson with rage, her eyes blazing.

Yet, in her current state, her furious blush only made her appear more delicate and charming, adding a touch of beauty to her expression.

"Mamamama, how is this even possible? I'm so curious. I think I've heard of this kind of ability somewhere before," Linlin said excitedly, eyeing Ryokugyu like a rare specimen.

"Why not keep her in Totto Land? Hmm, let's marry her off to Kaido. Having an Admiral as a wife wouldn't disgrace his status," Linlin suggested with a mischievous grin.

Kaido's draconic face instantly darkened like a burnt pot as he roared.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Linlin?! If you like her so much, why not keep her as Caesar's concubine? It's not like he's short on women anyway."

"Mamamama, I don't mind, but I wonder if Caesar would agree." Linlin smirked mischievously, winking at Caesar.

Caesar's lips twitched, and his face instantly darkened to the same shade as Kaido's.

"Then let's give her to Ganzui as a wife." Linlin laughed, shouting toward Ganzui.

"Ganzui! Want a wife? A Marine Admiral, though she used to be a man, mamamama. Wonder if she can bear children—how amusing."

"Hehehe, this old man doesn't mind. I've never tasted a Marine Admiral before," Ganzui chuckled.

"You shameless old bastard, I salute you." Caesar gave Ganzui a thumbs-up.

Under the predatory gazes of the four villains, Aramaki was genuinely starting to panic.

Perhaps because she had become a woman, Aramaki's personality had changed drastically.

In the past, she had been accustomed to acting first and thinking later, rarely considering consequences.

Whether she could win or what repercussions might follow—Aramaki had never bothered with such thoughts.

If she wanted to do something, she simply did it.

Like that time she went alone to Wano Country without informing Marine Headquarters, leading to the events that followed.

But now, Aramaki's former impulsiveness had faded, replaced by hesitation and indecision.

"Whatever, let's capture her first..."

Caesar flashed Aramaki a chilling grin before his radiant golden form vanished.

A massive hand tore through the air, reaching straight for Aramaki.

When it came to enemies, Caesar had no concept of sparing someone for their beauty.

In the sky, Kizaru's figure materialized, his expression grim.

Caesar's Conqueror's Haki was overwhelmingly strong—directed at a single target, even Kizaru found it hard to endure, nearly succumbing to its effects.

"Yata no kagami! Gamma Laser!"

Kizaru spread his arms—his left hand pitch-black, his right gleaming gold—and unleashed a barrage of black-and-gold light orbs downward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The light rained down like a storm, engulfing Caesar and the others.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Each orb exploded violently upon impact, shattering the ice below in an instant, sending massive chunks flying.

"Boro Breath!"

Kaido opened his maw and unleashed a searing pillar of flame straight at Kizaru.

Kizaru's body dispersed into motes of light, reforming elsewhere as he continued firing black-and-gold energy spheres.

"Annoying fly." Caesar glared skyward in irritation.

Most of Kizaru's attacks were aimed at him, clearly trying to disrupt his focus and give Aramaki a chance to escape.

"Ganzui! I'll catch your wife—you deal with that damn nuisance!" Caesar roared, his wings scattering a wave of light orbs as he lunged for Aramaki again.

Ganzui chuckled, raising the Seven Stars Sword and slashing towards Kizaru in midair.

A ghostly green sword aura shot upward, staining the sky emerald.

Kizaru frowned, his body dissolving to evade the strike before reappearing in the distance.

He raised his hand to fire another laser—

"Haki Infused Sword Technique! Seven Stars - Alkaid!"

Ganzui's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as the green light around him intensified.

Deep green lightning erupted from the Seven Stars Sword, slicing through the clouds and parting the atmosphere.

The vast emerald sword light engulfed Kizaru's figure, dyeing the icy surface a brilliant jade-green, as if it were a colossal piece of agate.

"Kusanagi Sword! Gamma Sword!"

Forced to halt his attack, Kizaru pulled his hands apart, summoning the black-and-gold Kusanagi Sword to meet Ganzui's Haki Infusion-imbued slash.

BOOM!!

With a deafening explosion, the black and gold light sword in Kizaru's hands erupted with countless rays of black and gold radiance, piercing through Ganzui's sword energy.

On the ground, Ganzui's expression changed.

"What kind of light is that? How can it be so overpower?"

Kizaru's body was sent flying back hundreds of meters, but the black and gold Kusanagi Sword in his hand shattered Ganzui's Haki Infusion sword energy, dispersing it into nothingness midair.

On the ground, Caesar spread his arms, effortlessly slicing through the countless vines and roots blocking his path as he advanced relentlessly toward Aramaki.

Aramaki frantically unleashed waves of swarming vines to hinder Caesar's advance while swinging her longsword, sending out crescent-shaped slashes.

Her swordsmanship was formidable, but at this moment, faced with Caesar's reckless charge, it seemed utterly powerless.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Caesar let out a surprised exclamation as his body was violently yanked to the side, as if pulled by an invisible force, sending him flying uncontrollably backward.

"Gravity Blade: Tiger!"

In the distant sky, a purple-robed old man stood atop a floating block of ice, soaring through the air like a celestial swordsman.

With a sweeping motion of his black cane sword, he unleashed his attack.

Not only Caesar but even the onlookers Linlin and Kaido were dragged hundreds of meters away by the sudden gravitational pull.

"Fujitora!" Aramaki sighed in relief as the ice beneath her feet trembled and cracked, propelling her into the air.

"The enemy is too strong. We shouldn't linger here."

Fujitora's eyes opened, revealing pale white pupils, his expression grave.

His Observation Haki was unparalleled, capable of sensing meteorites beyond the atmosphere and clearly discerning the strength of living beings.

At this moment, within Fujitora's Observation Haki perception, one individual's presence burned like a blazing sun, nearly eclipsing the radiance of all others—wild, domineering, and overwhelming.

"Beast God Caesar!"
