Ryuya, unconcerned, extended a finger and flicked it forward.

A blinding sword flash erupted, slicing through the air.

A furious gale whipped up as countless sword slashes, tearing through space, reached the bio-soldiers, bisecting them. Blood sprayed, staining the ground crimson.

Dark clouds gathered overhead, a pair of cold eyes watching Judge below.

A chill ran down Judge's spine. He hadn't expected such overwhelming power; his bio-soldiers were slaughtered before the mechanical soldiers even engaged.

Reiju watched, feeling a profound sense of despair. She'd foreseen this outcome, but Judge, in his arrogance, hadn't, highlighting his poor judgment.

Ryuya remained unfazed; it was just a soon-to-be-extinguished northern power.

He appeared before Judge, extending a finger and lightly pressing it against Judge's forehead.

A bloody hole instantly appeared, blood gushing forth.

Ryuya released his spiritual pressure, causing those caught within its range to explode like bloody fireworks, transforming the battlefield into a sea of blood in an instant.

Even Germa 66 didn't have time to transform.

Only Reiju remained.

Unmoved, Reiju asked, "King, why spare me?"

Ryuya replied, "I value your abilities. From today, you're my personal maid.

If you refuse, you're free to leave."

"I accept," Reiju replied instantly.

Following King Sterry was, in her view, the best choice.

Ryuya nodded and, with Reiju, continued his conquest.

He then shifted his consciousness back to White Dove Ryuya in his Marineford office, contacting his forces.

"Tsuru, where are you?"

"We're nearing Wano. Akainu's already engaged!"

Ryuya nodded; this was on schedule.

"Prioritize your safety. If it's truly dangerous, break the item I gave you, and I'll arrive immediately."

Tsuru assured him, "Rest assured, Fleet Admiral. As the new Admiral, I'll complete the mission!"

Ryuya nodded and hung up.

Akainu had reached Wano, where Kaido was fully prepared.

Kaido wouldn't take Ryuya's public declaration lightly.

Wielding his massive kanabo, Kaido smirked.

"Akainu, any last words?"

Akainu laughed, "Justice will prevail! This time next year, you'll be dead, Kaido!"

Akainu was far stronger than in the original timeline, possessing significantly enhanced strength and abilities.

Among the current Admirals, only Aokiji was considered weaker—Aokiji due to being overprotected, and Akainu due to past defeats.

Akainu's constant battles contrasted sharply with Aokiji's laid-back attitude.

Even with such monstrous talent, Akainu faced Kaido without fear.

This surprised even Kaido.

"Let's see how strong you've become, Akainu!" Kaido boasted.

Akainu, controlling his temper, remained focused.

He took a deep breath, leaping from his ship towards Kaido, his speed astonishing.

Kaido, however, remained unfazed. He'd trained rigorously after his defeat by White Dove Ryuya, even practicing by repeatedly jumping from Sky Island to hone his durability.

Akainu's body glowed with magma, the temperature perfectly controlled.

Even so, those nearby felt the intense heat.

"Meigo (Dark Hound)!"

Akainu extended his arm, launching a magma attack.

Kaido, coating his kanabo in Armament Haki, swung down with immense force.

The magma didn't faze Kaido; his wounds instantly healed.

The kanabo continued its trajectory, aiming for Akainu's chest.

Clang! A resounding clang echoed as Akainu, using Armament Haki and Tekkai, blocked the attack.

Still, the impact forced a grunt and a mouthful of blood from Akainu.

"Good, but not enough," Kaido declared, aiming to avenge his humiliation at the hands of White Dove Ryuya.

Akainu swallowed his blood, gathering his strength for an Dai Funka (Major Eruption).

He pressed his hands against Kaido's chest and unleashed the attack.

Kaido felt an explosive force building in his chest. Even Kaido felt the impact of this full-powered attack.

"Die, Kaido!"

Akainu unleashed a barrage of fiery punches. Even Kaido struggled to withstand the intense, continuous assault.

"Raimei Hakke (Thunderclap Eight Trigrams)!"

Kaido swung his kanabo, imbued with electricity, towards Akainu.

Akainu remained calm. "Logia-type Magu Magu no Mi Awakening: Meigo!"

His magma erupted, reaching an incredible temperature.

The magma ignited, filling those nearby with excitement.

"Admiral Akainu!" the soldiers chanted.

A deafening boom echoed, followed by a blinding flash as Akainu's awakened Meido clashed with Kaido's Raimei Hakke.

Smoke billowed, then a dark figure emerged…
