Chapter 68

"You want to fuse? Interesting. Yamato, don't you dare embarrass me!"

Yamato glared at her father with beautiful eyes and snorted, "Someday I will defeat you, you stinking old man!"

The Azure Dragon puffed air from its nostrils: "Call me father, you impolite rebellious son!"

"Stinking old man, you ox-ape bastard!"

Yamato's reply nearly twisted Kaido's nose off in anger.

Luo Xing smiled and interrupted this poorly related father-daughter pair, saying, "My lord, we must kill Shiki at top speed immediately; we cannot let him escape from here."

Luo Xing's principle toward enemies was to cut up the grass and remove the roots, ending all future troubles forever.

Today they had already formed a life-and-death grudge with Shiki; if he escaped, given Shiki's strength as a world-top-tier powerhouse, the aftermath would be endless.

Kaido also knew how troublesome Shiki was and agreed without any hesitation.

Opposite.

Shiki's brows furrowed even tighter.

The enemies seemed determined to surround him, but aside from Kaido, that boy named Luo Xing had not yet reached the level of a top-tier powerhouse, and that woman certainly hadn't either.

Facing these three alone, even if he, Shiki, was at a disadvantage, he would not easily be defeated.

Using the ability of the Pika Pika no Mi, escape would surely be no problem.

"I'd like to see what kind of trick you're actually pulling."

A cold sneer appeared on Shiki's face.

However, the very next second, he could no longer smile.

Not only could he not smile, but he wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

He saw Luo Xing and Yamato each put their earrings onto their own ears, and then the scene that made Shiki's eyeballs nearly pop out occurred.

The two who had put on the earrings actually fused with each other; in a flash of light, they had merged into one person!

"Damn!"

Shiki stood dumbfounded, not even noticing the cigarette he had been holding fall into the sea.

"A pair of earrings can actually fuse two living people into one? Even that guy Barrett's Merge-Merge Fruit couldn't do that!"

Shiki simply could not believe his own eyes.

He, who had fought the Luo Jie Pirates several times, had seen the user of the Merge-Merge Fruit on Luo Jie's ship, Douglas Barrett.

Shiki could confirm that Barrett absolutely could not fuse two people into one either.

"Forgot to introduce: this is my new invention, the Fusion Earrings."

The fused form of Luo Xing and Yamato said with a smile.

The outer contour of the fused person was based on Luo Xing, and the voice was also Luo Xing's.

But two red dragon horns grew on his forehead, representing Yamato.

At the same time, Luo Xing's brows curved slightly, and his teeth appeared a bit sharper; this was the influence of Yamato's Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Great True Wolf, Mythical Zoan form.

In short,

after fusion, Luo Xing's appearance did not change much, except that his aura had surged by a huge margin.

Shiki's expression shifted.

"A new invention, Fusion Earrings? Another heaven-defying item. In this regard, even Luo Jie is far from comparable to you!"

Shiki no longer had the confidence he had just moments ago.

The fused form of Luo Xing and Yamato made him feel an immense threat.

Add to that the Beasts Emperor Kaido watching hungrily from the side, and with even the slightest carelessness, he, Shiki, might truly die here today!

Shiki could not help but recall the day many years ago when he fought Karp and Shu alone at Marineford.

That time he was defeated, but Karp and Shu did not kill him; they merely threw him into Impel Down.

But if he is defeated again today, there will be no prison for him to serve time in.

Retreat? Flee?

No, I am Shiki!

If he abandoned his subordinates and fled like a coward, then he, Shiki, would have no face to live on in this world in the future!

The pride belonging to a legendary Great Pirate made Shiki's expression gradually turn grim and fierce.

From head to toe, he was filled with thick killing intent.

Clearly, he was determined to fight to the death!

Seeing this, Luo Xing felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

As long as Shiki did not think of fleeing, that was fine; otherwise, with his Pika Pika no Mi ability, if he was determined to escape, even he and his father-in-law Kaido joining forces might not be able to stop Shiki.

"Fight! Let me see the so-called Emperors and the power of you two young people fused together!"

Shiki roared loudly.

While in a disadvantaged state, he actually took the initiative to launch an attack; truly, he was a legendary Great Pirate.

Boom!

An Emperor-level battle erupted in an instant; in a flash, lightning flashed and thunder rolled, and wild winds howled!

"Heat Breath!"

"Mujin Ice Fangs!"

The Azure Dragon spat fire, and the Wolf God spat ice.

Shiki immediately found himself trapped in a situation of both ice and fire.

He roared in anger, exerting every trick he had, and finally barely broke free from the ice and fire, but his body was severely injured.

"Lion's Roar · Thousand Cuts Valley!"

The enraged Golden Lion unleashed dozens upon hundreds of massive slashes in rapid succession.

Each slash was powerful enough to tear the sea apart!

"Tornado Bad Wind!"

Azure Dragon Kaido, unafraid, stirred up endless tornadoes while simultaneously slashing out countless wind blades.

Luo Xing and Yamato were not to be outdone, one hand gripping Yamato, the other holding a spiked club.

"Husband-and-Wife Combination Art · Purgatory · Howling Arrow!"

Howling Arrow is Yamato's technique, while Purgatory is Luo Xing's exclusive move.

Yamato and the spiked club crossed each other, sword light and club aura merging together, unleashing a shockwave that could only be called terrifying!

Boom boom boom!!

Heaven crumbled and earth split, the sea boiled over!

Below, on the coast of Wano Country.

The members of the Flying Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, who had been locked in fierce combat, all subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

Gulp~

The sound of countless throats swallowing.

"Too terrifying, a battle like this!"

"This is the world's top-tier combat power. Compared to those people, we're as weak as ants."

"The key question is, who's going to win?"

"What are you even saying? Of course it's Captain Golden Lion!"

Though the Flying Pirates' members had been brutally beaten by the Beasts Pirates, they still firmly believed in their own captain Golden Lion's strength.

They didn't think Golden Lion would lose to Beasts Kaido.

But the next scene left them dumbfounded.

They saw that, amid that terrifying clash, their captain Golden Lion was sent flying backward, his entire body drenched in blood.

Golden Lion couldn't match Beasts Kaido?!

"No, it's not just Beasts Kaido!"

Golden Lion's confidant and scientist Indigo suddenly said in a trembling voice:

"There's another person in the sky — he teamed up with Kaido and sent the captain flying!"

What, there's another person?

How could that be — does the Beasts Pirates have two Emperor-level powerhouses?!

The Flying Pirates' members were all completely bewildered.

Even on the Beasts Pirates' side, they were a bit baffled.
