Zoro vs. King

A massive explosion rocks the battlefield as a figure is hurled through the air by a heavy blow, with debris and smoke filling the ruined structure. The sound effect "A HEAVY BLOW!!" and large Japanese SFX "ドォーン!!!" emphasize the impact. Below, a massive striped creature crashes into the ground with a thunderous "ゴゴォーン!!!" while a close-up shows a snarling face with "CRACK" and "SNAP" effects. Zoro appears in close-up, bloodied and glaring with a sharp "ギロッ" sound, then the view widens to show him standing on a wooden platform amid floating rocks, breathing heavily: "HUFF... HUFF..."

Chuji the small mouse squeaks loudly as it is held up: "SQUEAK!" and "CHUJI!!" A woman with light hair reacts in shock, hand to her mouth, while a bandaged man glances aside. Sanji, wearing a headband, smiles while feeding the mouse, saying "HE'S MAKING FOOD FOR THAT DIRTY DROPOUT AGAIN!" The woman cries out "CHUJI!! THANK GOODNESS!!" and "T-THANK YOU SO MUCH!!" as the mouse squeaks affectionately. A distant scene shows a building labeled "WINNER: SANJI" and "SKULL DOME LEFT BRAIN TOWER - BATTLE OF THE PLEASURE DISTRICT" collapsing with a loud "COLLAPSE". The woman, holding Chuji, asks worriedly "ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE UNHAR-" while Sanji replies "MISS..."

Explosions and flames erupt across rocky terrain with distant figures falling and cries of "わああ" and "あああ". Zoro, breathing heavily "PANT... PANT...", clashes with the winged King in a fierce slash: "SLASH!!" and "RIP!!" as sparks and debris fly. Zoro mutters "...WHEN THE FLAME ON HIS BACK GOES OUT!!" and "JUST AS I THOUGHT... HE'S FASTER..." while King looms in close-up with a menacing masked glare and sound effects "RUSTLE" and "!!!!". The intense duel continues amid the burning battlefield.

King stands amid rubble, his mask torn away to reveal long white hair, dark markings on his face, and a fierce glare. A voice cries out, "GET WEAKER...!!!" as another shouts, "RIIIP!! BUT HIS DEFENSES..." Below, shocked onlookers stare at the revealed figure. "NO WAY... KING-SAMA'S MASK!!" one yells. A man in a beanie grips his sword tightly, eyes wide. The World Government is offering 100 million berries for any information on... Black wings, white hair, and dark brown skin... WERE TRUE!! SO THE RUMORS..." the group realizes in horror.

King's massive black wings spread wide as flames erupt around him. He draws a flaming sword, the air warping from the heat. "NO, WAIT!! WE DIDN'T MEAN-" panicked enemies scream as the blade ignites. "IMPERIAL DRAGON..." the attack is unleashed in a roaring blaze. "GYAAAH!! FIRE!!" victims cry out, bodies flung through the air amid massive explosions and smoke. The fiery dragon-like blast engulfs the battlefield.

Explosions rock the burning castle as soldiers are blasted away. "THE CASTLE WAS ALREADY BURNING UP ENOUGH AS IT WAS. THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT YOUR MEN. YOU'D BE BETTER OFF..." someone remarks amid the chaos. King, flames still flickering, turns toward the swordsman in the beanie. "WANNA TELL ME ABOUT YOUR RACEI" he asks. "SO THE GOVERNMENT IS THAT INTERESTED IN YOUR KIND, HUHI" the swordsman replies with a grin. "FOCUSING ON ME THAN THROWING A TANTRUM." A massive slash erupts: "YOU'LL BE DEAD SOON!!" King retorts as the ground shatters. "WHY SHOULD I BOTHERI!"

A colossal explosion erupts with a giant skull-shaped blast. "ボフォォン!! ビッドドドドロ!!!" The fight intensifies as the swordsman clashes with King. Multiple rapid strikes land amid flying debris and impact lines. King, wings spread, counters fiercely while the swordsman presses the attack with precise blade work. "!!" reactions flash as the duel rages across the ruined battlefield.

King, the winged All-Star of the Beasts Pirates, glares with intensity as flames flicker around him. "I feel close to my limit too." In the next panel Zoro pants heavily on the ground, gripping his swords. "If we keep dragging things out, this sword will kill me!!" "I don't have much time..." "Huff... huff..." Zoro pushes himself up, blades ready. "We're in the same boat then... But you've had your time on top!! Now you've got to make room for us!!" King retorts, "His race being special... doesn't change anything for me..." Panting, Zoro stands firm. King snarls, "Kaido-san is going to be the next Pirate King!!" Zoro warns, "Don't get ahead of yourself." In a dramatic close-up, Zoro draws all three swords. "King of Hell... Three-Sword Style..."

A flashback sequence unfolds. A younger King confronts a figure in a lab-like setting. "So, how 'bout itI Are you in, guinea pigI" The figure replies, "To form my own pirate crew!! I'm leaving this place..." King continues, "I saw their experiments to test your endurance. You're a Lunarian... The government will never let you go." The figure shouts, "...WHO CAN!!" King presses, "I'm the only one... Do you really think... you'll be able to change the worldI" The figure declares, "From today onwards, you're my right-hand man!! WORO-RORO-RO!!" King names him, "You have the power worthy of a stronger name... Call yourself 'King'!!" In the present, King stands with a torch as test subjects escape a facility marked PH-006. "The test subjects have escaped!!" "Stand by me and I'll never sell you out!!"

Zoro launches a powerful attack, spinning mid-air with swords flashing. "PURGATORY ONIGIRI!!" Massive impact and debris explode around King. Zoro lands, noting, "That attack didn't do any damage." King's flames intensify as he counters. "His flame is burning..." Zoro grits his teeth. "THIS FIRE IS LIKE MAGMA!!" King unleashes a fiery dragon-like assault. "IMPERIAL FLAMING DRAGON!!" The clash sends shockwaves through the rocky terrain.

The explosive clash continues with debris flying. King transforms partially, wings spread, as Zoro is sent flying. "THAT SWORD AGAIN..." Close-ups show Zoro's intense expression and King's flaming form. Swords clash with sharp SFX "キチン!!" "ギシャ!!" King roars, "YOU'RE NOT TAKING AWAY... THESE NAMED SWORDS OF MINE!!" Zoro stares back defiantly amid the chaos. "....!!"

High in the stormy skies above the ruined Wano landscape, Zoro and King clash at blinding speed. A massive "WOOSH!" cuts through the air as Zoro's blade flashes. King, panting heavily with "PANT... PANT..." and "H!! H!! H!!", dodges and counters. Zoro declares, "I CAN CUT HIM!!" King retorts with a fierce glare, "HE'S FAST!! IN OTHER WORDS..." In a powerful mid-air strike, King unleashes his technique, shouting "BIRD DANCE!!!" as his body transforms and a massive impact "ド" shakes the battlefield, sending debris flying.

King transforms into a massive winged pteranodon-like form, wings spread wide as he huffs, "HUFF... HUFF..." and "..." Zoro presses the attack. King shouts, "THAT'S RIGHT!! I'VE FINALLY GOT A GLIMPSE INTO YOUR WEAKNESS!! IT SEEMS YOU'VE FIGURED OUT HOW MY POWERS WORK...!!!" Zoro counters fiercely, "LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE BLOCKING THEM NOW... I THOUGHT THEY WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO WORK! OR ARE YOU SCARED OF MY ATTACKS NOW...I" The two exchange rapid blows with "ギギギ!!" and "ドン!!" impacts. King takes a hit, grunting "UGH!!" as Zoro lands a strike.

King taunts Zoro, "RIGHT BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM!! YOU CAN SHOVE THAT EXCUSE A BEING LIKE YOU CAN'T WIN AGAINST ME!!" with "FUFU FU" laughter and "ば...!!!" sound. Zoro replies defiantly, "IF YOU MANAGE TO SURVIVE, I'M THE ONE THAT'S GONNA BEAT THE MEMORY OF ME INTO YOUR SKULL!! I'LL REMEMBER YOU AS A SWORDSMAN THAT HELD SOME SKILL." King then transforms dramatically, roaring "IMPERIAL GUARDIAN FLAMING DRAGON!!" as a massive fiery dragon head erupts with "ゴゴゴ" and "バチ" effects, lunging toward Zoro.

The colossal flaming dragon engulfs the battlefield in "FLYING DRAGON HELL BLAZE"!!! with "ド」 impact. A side panel labels the technique "UNDERWORLD KING'S THREE BLADED DRAGONS" as multiple dragons tear through the air. Zoro is shown slashing through them with the note "WITH ONE SWING EVEN DRAGONS ARE TORN ASUNDER!!" Another panel shows the aftermath with "103 EMOTIONS" text. King appears in close-up, face intense and scarred, as the massive attack continues to rage.
