*Boom! Boom! Boom!* The clash of the Yonko had lasted for five days and five nights, leaving no intact place on the large island. Mountains crumbled, forests shattered. The earth was riddled with holes. The battle finally drew to a close.
"Hahaha, truly interesting! As expected of Whitebeard! Come on, try all your methods to kill me!" Kaido of the Beasts, standing proudly amidst heaven and earth, covered in blood, roared. One Yonko's victory was another's defeat. The roar echoed through the heavens and earth, and with Kaido of the Beasts falling unconscious, this earth-shattering battle finally concluded. "That bastard." Whitebeard, leaning on his Bisento and breathing heavily, slowly recovered his depleted strength.
"Good opportunity! *Room! Scalpel!*" Law, hidden in the shadows, instantly vanished and reappeared in front of Whitebeard. The blade in his hand lunged towards Whitebeard's chest. The blade struck his chest, sparking a few times. "Still not giving up? Still trying to seize the chance to kill this old man?" Whitebeard glared with tiger-like eyes, swinging his Bisento. The Bisento, covered in a pressure dome, swept across, and a terrifying shockwave pulverized everything in its path, continuously spreading outwards.
*Whoosh!* Law vanished, disappearing repeatedly, reappearing several thousand meters away. "After such a grand battle, he still possesses such monstrous strength. As expected of Whitebeard." Law let out a bitter laugh. It seemed there was no chance to snatch Whitebeard's heart. *Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!* As the battle ended, over a dozen commanders outside the island rapidly rushed into it. Law's sneak attack on Whitebeard was witnessed by them. "That bastard! He's still here? And he's trying to ambush Pops!" The commanders angrily glared at the spot where Law had disappeared. "Don't mind that kid for now. First, bring Kaido of the Beasts onto the ship and keep him under strict guard," Whitebeard commanded. "Yes, sir!" Kaido was bound with layers of Seastone chains and ultimately imprisoned in the lowest deck of the pirate ship.
"Pops, that Marine caused serious injuries to many of our comrades. We can't let him off so easily," Marco said, his deadpan eyes glinting with a cold light. Law had destroyed one of the Whitebeard Pirates' ships, sending all the pirates into the sea. Though no one died, many pirates sustained serious injuries. "Search." "Yes, sir!" Hundreds of pirates entered the island, fanning out like a wide net, conducting a carpet search for Law's traces. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, can't let them find me." Law quickly moved away. The broken island was riddled with holes, countless abysses and deep pits. He ultimately hid deep within an abyss, clinging tightly to the cliff face, his *Room* space extended to its maximum.
Should anything unexpected happen, he would instantly shift his position. "Where did that guy hide?" The pirates' search was not polite; they continuously destroyed every possible hiding place along their way, aiming to force Law out. Law was forced to change his position many times. His ability to transfer objects allowed him to avoid detection. Half a day passed. It was already dusk. After several hours of searching and destroying, the somewhat exhausted pirates returned to Whitebeard. "The island is too big; that guy is too good at hiding. We can't find him." "Interesting." Whitebeard scanned his surroundings. Law was on this island, but no one knew where he was hiding: "Brat, get out here! Although you're a Marine, you've got some guts. If you can take three of this old man's moves, I'll let you go. Keep hiding, and you'll only die." His voice echoed in the air.
"Find me, and I'll take thirty moves, let alone three," Law's voice came from the southeast. After the commanders rushed there, Law had already vanished. "That guy!" Whitebeard's tiger-like eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Let's go!" He turned and led the way towards the shore. "*Room*." Law swiftly created his space, vanishing rapidly, bypassing Whitebeard and his crew, arriving at the shore even faster than them. The space Law projected now had a diameter of three thousand meters, extended to its maximum.
Too small a space, and it would be too easy to be discovered. A three-thousand-meter circular space, even if one was within it, it would be difficult to perceive its existence. *Whoosh!* Law vanished. The next moment, he appeared in a storage room on a pirate ship docked at the shore. Whitebeard and his crew returned to the ship only a dozen minutes later. "Since you want to stay on the island, then stay forever." Standing at the bow of the ship, Bisento planted on the deck, Whitebeard powerfully punched the air to his left and right. *Crack!* The atmosphere fractured under his fists.
"Depart." The pirate ship turned and headed into the distance. Several minutes later, the sea grew turbulent, and on both sides of the shattered island, hundreds of meters high waves emerged, covering the sky and engulfing the entire island. *Rumble, rumble, rumble.* The waves completely submerged the island. "Hide? Hiding anywhere on the island is useless. Do you really think being able to hide makes you invincible?" The commanders looked coldly at the island being covered and buffeted by the waves. A Devil Fruit user in there would surely die. "Now, all we have to do is wait quietly, until the moment we dock." In the storage room, Law leisurely sat on an old sofa, holding a freshly grilled steak: "Oh, and Kaido of the Beasts too!" Having eaten his fill. As night deepened, Law instantly vanished from the storage room.
