No description for this page.

A frantic woman cries out "GRANDFATHER~!!" as a scarred man stares upward in shock, shouting "IS HIS TARGET KING RIKU...I!!" and "PICA.....!!!" The gigantic menacing rock has begun to move!! The king is in a bind!!! Below, the colossal stone giant Pica towers over the city, its massive spiked body cracking buildings as it lurches forward. Panicked voices yell "WE CAN'T LET HIM JUST GO!!!" and "...BUT HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO STOP SOMETHING LIKE THATI!" while another warns "THIS IS BAD.....!!!" In the streets, a desperate crowd cheers and pleads "PICA-SAMA~!!!" and "GO GET 'IM~!!!"

Rebecca shouts "HE'S AFTER KING RIKU!!" while a scarred fighter growls "NOT THAT IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH US, BUT I DON'T GET IT AT ALL..." and another roars "THAT'S WHERE SOGEKING-SENPAI IS!!!!" and "STOP, YOU FRICKIN' ROCKS-FOR-BRAINED BEAST!!! THAT PLATEAU..." Elizabello, the King of Prodence, declares "I'M GLAD I HELD ONTO MY 'KING PUNCH'!!" and "I'LL SAVE YOU NOW, KING RIKU, MY FRIEND!!" as he charges with swirling punches. He yells "I AM THE KING OF PRODENCE, ELIZABELLO...!! 'PIRATE HUNTER'!!!" and "UNLESS WE DEFEAT THE MAIN BODY, HE'LL KEEP REGENERATING HIMSELF!!!" while striking the giant, noting "IT'S JUST AS THE 'PIRATE HUNTER' SAID..." and "I TOLD YOU, IT'S USELESS TRYING TO JUST BREAK THAT THING INTO PIECES!!"

A close-up shows a determined face under a black cap demanding "JUST GIVE ME 2 MINUTES!!" while another shouts "THEN WHAT SHOULD WE DOI!!" An admiral-like figure growls "HRMMI" and "IF YOU ARE TALKING TO ME, IT'S 'ADMIRAL'!! YOU WERE THROWING PEOPLE LIKE BULLETS JUST NOW, WEREN'T YOUI" as a pirate yells "HEY, 'SUPER-VISOR'!!!" Cannons fire repeatedly with "FIRE...!!!" and "FIRE...!!!" while the giant Pica looms, the sound effect "ズズズーン" rumbling. A voice calls "ARE YOU THERE, KING RIKUI!!" as debris flies and smaller figures tumble with impact sounds "ドカン!" and "ゴゴゴゴッ!!"

Pica's massive fist smashes through structures with a huge "ドスッーン" impact, sending people flying amid screams "UWA AAAAA AH!!!" and "GYA AAA AH!" A fierce glare fills a close-up as Pica roars "IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ME, HERE I AM!!!" and "PLEASE, NO MORE CARNAGE!! JUST STOP THIS!!!" King Riku yells "PICA!! HERE I AM!!!" while others shout "HURRY, RUN!!! GET OFF OF THIS PLATEAU!!!" and "THE ONE HE'S AFTER IS ME!! NOW, GO!!" Rebecca cries "FATHER!!!" as King Riku insists "THAT'S EXACTLY WHY YOU SHOULD BE RUNNING, KING RIKU!!" and another commands "TANK, VIOLA!! GET EVERYONE OFF THIS PLATEAU, QUICKLY!!!" and "KING RIKU, YOU MUST HURRY!!!"

A frantic pirate crew urges action as time runs out. "JUST DO IT, ALREADY!! WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!" one shouts. Another yells, "THAT BASTARD IS ONLY GOING AFTER PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANNA FIGHT!!!" A bearded pirate with chains questions the plan: "YOU SURE YOU'RE RIGHT WITH THISI THIS AIN'T 'XACTLY A SKILL MEANT TO TOSS PEOPLE SAFELY, Y'KNOW!!!" Nearby, a man reacts in shock: ""PIRATE HUNTER" ORLUMBUS!! WHAT THE HELL IS HE PLANNING ON DOINGI!" Orlumbus stands ready on the battlefield. A close-up shows his intense glare as he activates his power. "MIRAI" ~!! echoes as a massive black silhouette rises, followed by "AD..."~ The colossal hand descends, its palm spanning city width. "AAAAHHH!! HIS PALM IS THE WIDTH OF A CITY-!!!" screams a witness. "A CITY'S FALLING ON US~!!!" Citizens panic below as the giant palm crushes buildings. "YOU ARE NO KING OF MINE...!!!" a voice declares. "NOTHING ABOUT YOU IS FIT TO BE KING...!!!" The impact sends debris flying: "GYAA AAAA AH!!!" "KING RIKU.....!!!" is cried out amid the destruction.

The massive attack continues with Orlumbus unleashing his technique. "KILLER BOWLING"!!!! he roars as his enormous form bowls through structures, sending shockwaves and debris everywhere. Impact lines and speed effects fill the panels. In smaller insets, a hand grips a sword hilt with "zuuu..." sound effects. The bowling motion hurls the giant body forward at high speed, smashing through the cityscape and leaving trails of destruction in its wake.

The colossal figure speaks with fury: "BUT I DID EVERYTHING I COULD WHILE STILL REMAINING A 'HUMAN BEING'!!" A close-up reveals a scarred, enraged face. "THEN I WOULD RATHER CHOOSE DEATH!!! THERE IS NO FUTURE FOR A COUNTRY BUILT ON MASSACRE!!!" he continues. "IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT I HAVE TO BECOME A MURDERER IN ORDER TO SURVIVE..." Smaller panels show a swordsman gathering power and the giant's spiked form looming over the city: "DA-DADA-DAAAAH...!!! OVER THE 9 MOUNTAINS AND ACROSS THE 8 SEAS.....!!!" "THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ITSELF...!!!" The giant declares, "A MAN WHO CAN'T DESTROY HIS ENEMIES IS HARDLY FIT TO BECOME KING!!!" and "A COUNTRY IS ITS 'MILITARY POWER'!" He reflects, "SO, AFTER 10 YEARS OF HAVING YOUR NAME DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD, IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR POPULARITY IS FINALLY RECOVERING, EH...I" Crowds react with "OUG!" and "SANTOU-RYUU" as the giant swings a massive weapon. "THERE IS NOTHING I CANNOT CUT." "D-DADA-DADANFGH...!!!" King Riku appears in flashbacks, shouting "PIKKYA-RARA..." and "YOUR HIGHNESS!! YOU'RE THE ONLY KING FOR US!!" while citizens cry "AAAAAAA AHHHH!!" and "BECAUSE THEY ALL PERISH LIKE YOU ARE ABOUT TO!!!" The giant retorts, "I HAD NO INTENTION OF RETURNING TO THE THRONE AGAIN. IT IS TRUE... THAT I FAILED TO PROTECT MY OWN COUNTRY... I WAS POWERLESS!!"

The giant's ultimate techniques erupt. ""DAISEN SEKA"!!!!" and ""ICHIDAI SANZEN"!!!!" are unleashed in massive strikes, shattering the ground and sending shockwaves across the battlefield. The colossal spiked body looms over crumbling stone structures as debris flies. A close-up shows the giant's fierce glare and gritted teeth. "!!I" reactions punctuate the panels as the attacks land with overwhelming force, the text "T/N: THE GREAT THOUSAND WORLDS" visible beside the strikes.

A massive stone giant's upper body looms as a huge blade slashes through it with a massive impact. Zoro, in his black outfit and hat, leaps and carves deep into the rocky form with his swords, sending debris flying. The giant's face twists in shock. Small panels show Zoro's intense expression and the giant's crumbling sections. A voice shouts, "HE'S SCAPING TO THE UPPER HALF OF THE BODY!" Another reacts with "GIGI..." The giant's head and torso separate amid the chaos of the ruined cityscape below.

Zoro dashes across the giant's arm with "DASH!!" and "SILENCE" as the stone rumbles. He calls out, "COME OUT, PICA!!" The giant's massive hand reaches desperately while a voice yells, "HE'S GOT NOWHERE TO HIDE INTO WHILE HE'S MID-AIR!" Pica's face twists in rage, shouting "YOU THINK YOU'VE WONI!!" The giant's body begins to crumble and fall toward the city. Crowds below react in panic as Zoro glares, declaring "HIS MAIN SELF IS DEFINITELY IN ONE OF THEM!" A voice cries "ZORO ~!!!" amid the falling debris and chaos.

Zoro spins through the air with multiple swords, slashing the giant's head in a massive "SANZEN SEKAI" strike that shatters stone and sends fragments flying. Pica's face emerges from the rubble, yelling "I HOPE YOU DON'T THINK YOU HAVE BEAT ME JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE CUT MY 'STONE'!!!" and "THERE'S NO WAY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO CUT ME NOW THAT I'M SHIELDING MYSELF WITH HAKI!!!" Zoro counters mid-air, "IS STRONGER THAN MINE, THAT IS..." The giant threatens, "AS LONG AS YOUR HAKI..." and "AFTER I'VE POUNDED YOU INTO THE GROUND, YOU'LL BE THE ONE THAT'S LOST!!!" while vowing "...THERE IS NOTHING I CANNOT CUT..."

Zoro's intense close-up shows him gripping his sword as he roars "DON'T FUCK WITH THE 'GOOD PEOPLE'....!!!!" A massive slash erupts with "GA-HAAAAACK!!" The giant's body breaks apart completely, debris raining down as people scream "WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!" and "FLEEEX!" Zoro lands a final powerful strike. The giant's remnants plummet toward the city while crowds flee in terror. The chapter ends with Zoro's exhausted breathing "HAAAH... HAAAH...." as the massive form collapses.

A massive explosion erupts from the stone ruins as a devastating blow lands. Rubble flies everywhere while the attacker shouts "KILLING PUNCH!!!" Two onlookers react with "!!I" and "!!I". Below, a tall, muscular man with spiky hair stands amid the dust and debris. Bystanders murmur with speech bubbles reading "FOAM BUBBLE..." and scattered "...". In a close-up, a man wearing a dark hat grins and says "...WELL DONE." Nearby panels show the aftermath: a figure in a checkered outfit yells "FOR RUBBLE CLEAN-UP DUTY!! I AIN'T FORGETTIN' THIS ANY TIME SOON!!!" while another roars "HOW DARE HE USE MY 'KING PUNCH'.....!!!" A large, angry man pants heavily, "HAAH... HAAH... THAT LITTLE BRAT.....!!!" The page ends with a small box noting "TACTICS 5 ACCOMPLISHED!!!"
