Chapter 13

Su Ning returned to the rear after this round of tugging and began using the points he just earned.

It’s rising! It’s rising!

Current balance

Points for Manifesting Divinity: 930 points.

This kind of grand entrance counts as manifesting divinity before others.

In that case... Buggy, sorry about this.

Su Lin didn’t know this was because information spread slowly in the Pirate World.

The current points come from the population of Sabaody Archipelago, nearby areas, and the Marineford battlefield.

The population of the Pirate World is a terrifying number; as information gradually spread, broadcast locations everywhere witnessed the scenes unfolding on the battlefield.

The system’s points were in a phase of rapid ascent.

A group of Buggy’s followers were streaming, but Su Lin had already silently resolved: I will be the King of Streaming!

"Teacher, disciple... hehe, streaming is all about putting on a show—I'll give you something big."

Although Su Lin didn’t believe the things Kizaru had just said, he recalled a meme he’d seen while binge-watching dramas.

Who is the most touching teacher in One Piece?

It must be Kaido.

After leaving Impel Down, Su Lin casually browsed the system store while resting in the cabin and discovered a new entry.

【Devil Fruit—Fish-Fish Fruit】2000 points. Consuming it grants permanent ability. —The cost is a taste even worse than X.

Su Lin knew the system was no ordinary thing, but he hadn’t expected its items could change with the world’s evolution.

After leaving Impel Down, while resting in the cabin, Su Lin browsed the store and found a new entry.

Upon entering, he found it filled entirely with items from this world.

There was no need to exchange for Devil Fruits—the value wasn’t worth it for him, since he had no intention of staying long in this world.

Glug glug glug—a glass bottle fell to the ground.

The next second, Su Lin vanished in a flash of light.

In front was Kizaru, to the right Akainu, to the left Aokiji, behind him was Sakazuki.

“Luffy, you go first!” Ace shouted.

“No way!” Luffy retorted bluntly: “I won’t leave you behind, Ace!”

“Watch me knock them all flying!”

Ace smiled, back-to-back with Luffy, fists igniting with flames, eyes locked on the enemies ahead.

“You’re still far from outshining your big brother.”

“This is bad, this is bad!” Mr.3 never imagined he’d one day be surrounded by the Marines’ top combatants.

Even his former boss never got this treatment.

Mr.3 decided to stop thinking.

“Son of the Dragon, you’re truly a curse. I can’t let you go on any longer,” Akainu said. “Your path, and your brother’s, ends here.”

Kizaru and Aokiji silently glanced at Sakazuki, then at Karp, still lying upside-down in the crater.

“The Straw Hat and Fire Fist Ace won’t escape,” said a reporter.

“The Straw Hat’s still pretty strong—didn’t he knock Kizaru flying earlier?” someone countered.

“But Kizaru didn’t seem injured at all; on the contrary, after countless battles, the Straw Hat is now surrounded by the Marines’ strongest.”

“Whitebeard should be arriving soon—those Marines up front won’t hold him long.”

“It all depends on how long he can hold out.”

“And that unknown person with the same ability as Kizaru—let’s see if he’ll interfere again.”

Voices buzzed everywhere; no world lacks tactical analysts.

Reporters outside Sabaody Archipelago waited for the event’s development.

Just as tension peaked and combat was about to break out, a figure descended from the sky.

Boom boom boom

The entire ground was crushed into a massive crater.

All factions were startled by this sudden arrival.

What’s happening now!?

“Something seems to have fallen.”

Reporters had a hunch—the main act had only just begun.

As the battle neared its climax, the battlefield’s situation shifted once more.

A figure stepped out of the smoke.

Before the figure fully emerged from the crater, its overwhelming aura swept away the surrounding smoke.

Tap—tap—tap—

Each step crushed rocks and shattered ice.

The figure, eyes filled with utter disdain, stepped slowly out of the crater.

“Hey, that guy is...!”

One reporter was so shocked he couldn’t speak.

“Kaido, one of the Four Emperors! Why is he here?!“

“Has the Beasts Pirates joined the battle too?”

The plaza of Sabaody Archipelago erupted in chaos again.

Restaurants catering to pirates and travelers burst into waves of astonishment.

“Kaido, why the hell are you here?”

Sakazuki’s temples bulged—another Kaido had crashed into this already chaotic scene.

“Karp! How much longer are you going to lie there?”

Karp remained in the crater, sensing the battlefield’s shift, feigning dazed confusion as he rubbed his head and stood up.

“What happened? Eh! Kaido!?”

Sakazuki had no time to care how bad Karp’s acting was—his mind was a tangled mess, unable to comprehend why an uncontrollable variable, one that shouldn’t even be on this battlefield, had appeared.

Wasn’t he off seizing Whitebeard’s territory?

“Ku ku ku ku! Kaido, are you here to lend this old man a hand?” Whitebeard, having cleared a small area before him with a single punch, stared sharply at Kaido.

“Don’t be ridiculous, Whitebeard,” Kaido slung his spiked club onto his shoulder, his disdain and arrogance unmistakable.

Haki surged—Conqueror’s Haki swept across the battlefield like a crushing tide, causing newly awakened pirates and soldiers to faint again, even dragging down exhausted combatants.

Even the Marines’ elite lieutenant colonels felt their breathing grow labored; some couldn’t stop their weapons from trembling.

The unrestrained outpouring of Conqueror’s Haki declared to every person present:

One of the Four Emperors, Kaido of the Beasts Pirates, has entered the battle.

“This Conqueror’s Haki... Roger?” Whitebeard was startled—he’d fought Kaido before, but this intensity reminded him of his old rival, Roger!

Had this guy grown stronger?

“This level of Haki,” Karp dropped his coat and walked forward beside Sakazuki, no longer joking.
