ONE PIECE: GHIDORAH

Chapter 46: CH 46: BETRAYAL



Law stood over Diamante's battered form, his sword poised for the final strike. His cold eyes locked onto his enemy, and without hesitation, he aimed the tip of his blade at Diamante's heart.

But just before the finishing blow, a massive shadow loomed over him.

A gigantic sword and a double-edged axe came crashing down.

Kisame reacted instantly, leaping back with a grin, while Law barely managed to teleport away with Shambles, reappearing a few feet away. The impact of the weapons sent debris flying, splitting the ground where Law had just stood.

The one responsible stood towering over them— Jakky.

He was massive, at least 18 feet tall, his body packed with dense muscle. His arms were thick like tree trunks, his hands gripping the colossal sword and axe with ease. His long, wild hair flowed behind him, and his bloodshot eyes scanned the battlefield with amusement.

"Kukuku… a favor from the Donquixote family," Jakky chuckled as he glanced at Diamante, who was struggling to stand.

Diamante gritted his teeth and spat out blood before glaring at Jakky. "I'll tell you about the young master… maybe he can put you somewhere high up in our ranks."

At those words, Jakky's expression changed into one of greedy delight. He grinned, showing his jagged teeth. "Now that is what I like to hear."

Law, wiping a bit of blood from his lips, glanced at Kisame. "Looks like we're not done yet."

Kisame cracked his knuckles, his shark-like grin widening. "Heh… a big guy like this? Looks fun."

Jakky laughed. "Oh, I'll make sure you both die entertainingly."

With that, the battlefield erupted into chaos once more.

Jakky moved fast for his size, swinging his giant sword toward Kisame in a sweeping arc. Kisame barely ducked under it before twisting his body and countering with a powerful Fish-Man Karate punch, aiming for Jakky's ribs.

But Jakky reacted instantly, blocking with his axe handle before bringing his knee up smashing it into Kisame's gut.

Kisame's eyes widened slightly as he skidded back, the sheer force behind the attack impressive even to him. He wiped his mouth, then grinned. "Not bad."

Meanwhile, Law and Diamante clashed blades.

Diamante's rapier, still coated in Haki, whipped and bent unnaturally, moving like a flag caught in the wind. Law dodged a fluid strike aimed at his throat, teleporting just in time to avoid getting impaled.

"Fufufu…" Diamante sneered. "Still using those cheap tricks, Law?"

Law flicked his fingers. "Tact."

Suddenly, a shattered piece of debris shot up from the ground and smashed into Diamante's face, sending him stumbling backward.

Law smirked. "Guess so."

Jakky, seeing Diamante struggle, suddenly leaped toward Law, swinging his axe like a hurricane.

Law barely had time to react before Kisame intercepted, his webbed hand clashing against Jakky's axe, sending out a shockwave that cracked the ground beneath them.

"Hah!" Jakky roared. "You're strong, fishman!"

Kisame smirked, licking a bit of blood off his lip. "And you're a tough bastard."

The two monsters lunged at each other again, exchanging devastating blows.

Every strike shook the air around them. Kisame's brutal punches clashed against Jakky's giant weapons, creating shockwaves that sent smaller pirates flying. Water bursts from Kisame's attacks splashed across the battlefield, while Jakky's swings tore through anything in their path.

Meanwhile, Law and Diamante's battle was just as fierce.

Law activated Radio Knife, his blade crackling with electricity, and slashed at Diamante, who barely managed to dodge before countering with his compressed air slash attack.

"Hangetsu Glaive!"

A razor sharp shockwave tore through the air toward Law.

Law gritted his teeth, summoning another Shambles to switch places with a fallen pirate just in time.

Diamante was ready, however, spinning his rapier and lunging forward.

Law blocked, but Diamante twisted his wrist, using the flexibility of his sword to suddenly wrap it around Law's arm before pulling him in for a brutal knee to the ribs.

Law coughed up blood, stumbling back.

Diamante sneered. "You're getting sloppy, Law."

Law wiped his mouth. His smirk was gone now. His eyes burned with anger.

"I'm just getting started," he muttered.

The battle raged on.

Kisame and Jakky were still exchanging heavy blows, neither side backing down. Kisame's water enhanced, attacks left deep bruises on Jakky's massive frame, while Jakky's relentless weapon strikes had left Kisame bleeding from multiple gashes.

Law and Diamante were both equally battered, bruised, and exhausted.

But then—

Jakky suddenly jumped back, landing near Diamante. "Enough of this," he growled. "We're leaving."

Diamante wiped the blood from his mouth and nodded. "Tch. Fine."

Just as they turned to escape—

*SHING!*

Jakky suddenly coughed up blood.

A sword was buried deep into his back.

Diamante's smirking face appeared behind him.

Jakky's eyes widened in shock. "Y-You…!"

Diamante twisted the blade. "Kukuku… sorry, Jakky. You're the reason everything went wrong today."

He suddenly kicked Jakky forward, letting him collapse onto the ground, coughing up blood.

Everyone stared in shock.

Hancock raised an eyebrow. "Tch. Typical coward."

Bepo covered his mouth. "That's… messed up."

Yuji just crossed his arms. "Expected. That guy was never gonna share the spotlight."

Jakky, struggling to breathe, turned to Law with bloodshot eyes.

"LAW… I WILL GET MY REVENGE…!!"

Then, before Law or Kisame could stop him, Diamante rushed out of the battlefield, disappearing into the chaos.

Jakky collapsed, unconscious.

Silence hung over the battlefield.

Kisame cracked his knuckles, staring at Jakky's motionless body. "Huh. Well, that was a waste of time."

Law clenched his fists, his eyes still burning with anger.

Yuji walked up, hands in his pockets. "Not gonna chase him?"

Law took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. "No. Next time… I end him."

Yuji smirked. "Good answer."

As the dust settled, the group stood over the ruined auction house, their bodies aching but their spirits unbroken. The battle is over for now.
