Onigashima

A foreboding island within Wano's inland sea, stood facing the Flower Capital. Since ancient times, Onigashima had been a cursed land, its towering skull a grim symbol of hell.

For centuries, it served as a place of exile for Wano's most heinous criminals. That was until the Beasts Pirates, led by Kaido, claimed it as their base of operations over two decades ago. Now, the island had become one of the most dangerous places in the world, a den of pirates and monsters.

"Report!"

"King-sama! The samurai ships are approaching from the southeast!" a terrified Gifter, user of the Artificial Zoan Smile - White Pigeon Fruit. shrieked.

"Open fire! Sink them!" King, ordered coldly. Kaido and Charlotte Linlin sat upon their thrones, overlooking the assembled Tobiroppo and Headliners.

As the second-in-command of their respective crews, they were responsible for planning and tactics. With Kaido being a battle-crazed brute and Big Mom prone to impulsive outbursts, the burden of strategic thinking fell upon their shoulders.

"That devil... He's in Wano too!"

Katakuri, his eel-like mouth hidden beneath a scarf, radiated a menacing aura.

"A bunch of has-beens. And Whitebeard vanished after entering Wano. We just need to eliminate that devil before he shows up."

"He's confident, isn't he? Thinks he can take on two Emperors. He'll pay for destroying Totto Land and our Sweet Commanders!"

King, Katakuri, and even the two Emperors on their thrones seethed with murderous intent.

...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The coast of Onigashima erupted in a cacophony of explosions.

Countless cannonballs arced through the twilight sky, a torrential downpour of iron and fire, targeting the approaching samurai fleet.

If they landed, this single barrage would obliterate them. Just as Kin'emon and the other samurai braced for impact, a figure clad in white, standing at the bow of the lead ship, his cloak billowing in the wind like a phantom, made his move.

With a flick of his wrist, the sky above crackled with golden lightning. A massive net of electrical energy materialized, intercepting the incoming cannon fire.

The projectiles detonated harmlessly mid-air, erupting in a shower of sparks. Ian clenched his right fist, and the sky roared with thunder.

A colossal bolt of golden lightning descended from the sky, striking the coast of Onigashima with devastating force. In an instant, the Beasts Pirates' defenses were reduced to smoldering ruins.

"Wooohoooo!"

The samurai, witnessing this display of power, erupted in cheers.

"Ian-sama! Amazing!" Hiyori clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Three minutes later, the Wano fleet landed on the southeastern coast of Onigashima. Kin'emon, Raizo, and even the traitor Kanjuro were still trapped in the time-rift.

Kiku and Ashura Doji had arrived at the last minute, while Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, and Izo were with Whitebeard. Only two of the Nine Red Scabbards were present.
