Capítulo 273: 273. Last Combo
As Elen talks with Yamato, Alan suddenly comes down while dragging the defeated Little Jack by the hair. Yamato is very surprised to see Little Jack's miserable condition. There are burn marks all over his body that are caused by Alan's acid so they are quite different from burn marks by fire.
"Are you okay, Alan?" asks Elen.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just some minor injuries. He isn't that good at battle even though he is strong. Who is she?" asks Alan as he points at Yamato.
"Ah, she is Yamato, Kaido's daughter," says Elen casually.
"WHAT?!" shouts Alan in surprise.
Alan never thought that they would find Kaido's daughter here. He gets wary and pulls Elen away from Yamato's cage. But then Elen stops him and explains Yamato's situation to him. She even asks him to release Yamato from the cage.
"It is a sad story but I can't make that decision. It is a very important matter, after all. We need to ask the executives about this," says Alan.
"Then, do we need to wait until they finish their battles?" asks Elen.
"Of course. I've watched their battles just now. Some of them should've finished already, so I will ask someone," says Alan.
"What?! Did the All-Stars and other executives have been defeated?" asks Yamato with a surprised tone.
"I don't know the details, that's why I will check it now. But when I saw the situation before, our troops have won, so our executives would win soon," says Alan.
Yamato gets more surprised to hear that the Beasts Pirates' men have lost. She doesn't know the details of this war but at least she knows that the Clowns & Kozuki group alliance has a smaller number. But they still won, which means that they are stronger than Beasts Pirates & Orochi's group.
Alan then leaves the basement while dragging Little Jack again. He can't let this little beast here with Elen so he brings Little Jack out. After reaching the 1st floor, Alan drags & throws Little Jack amongst the defeated Beasts Pirates.
"Oh, Alan, did you beat up this kid?" asks a Clown Pirate.
"Yeah, he is an enemy. Anyway, have the executives finished their battles?" asks Alan while looking around.
"Yeah, only Vice-Captain who hasn't finished yet. Currently, we are gathering seastone chains & handcuffs to restrict the defeated enemies. The medical team also treats the injured ones. Ah, that's right, where's Elen?" asks the man.
"She is doing a job. If the executives have finished their battles, then I need to talk with Miss Mantis. Where is she?" asks Alan.
The man points at Mantis who is getting treated by Manba now. Alan thanks the man before he goes to Mantis to ask for advice regarding Yamato. As he walks toward Mantis, he sees everyone is looking in the same direction so he also looks there.
They all are looking at Cricket's battle against King that hasn't finished. Both of them exchange devastating blows after blows that shake Onigashima. Everyone there is impressed by the 2's power.
Cricket attacks King using his martial arts combined with Hasshoken. He counters King's flame and prevents it from touching him using the vibration & shockwave of his attacks. His Haki also prevents King's flame from burning him.
King also sends powerful attacks on Cricket. He uses his sword, punches, kicks, and even his beak attacks. In hybrid form, his beak isn't as long as in his full form but it is still long & sharp enough to attack Cricket.
Currently, King's body is fully covered in fire so his attacks are also covered in fire. Covering his whole body with fire consumes a lot of energy. But King knows he needs to use this to win against Cricket.
He will lose if he fights half-heartedly against someone like Cricket. King can see that Cricket is improving at a fast rate in their battle. If he doesn't defeat Cricket soon, then he will be the one who loses.
The other Beasts Pirates have been defeated including Queen & Jack. He is the only one remaining on their side on this site. Other than him, only Kaido still fights on Onigashima, so he needs to win.
But that won't be easy because Cricket starts to push him back. His flame's power has started to get weakened while Cricket's attacks get stronger. Cricket's techniques also get better and King gets hit more than before.
King decides to change his strategy. He jumps away from Cricket and diminishes his flame. It surprises Cricket because King has never done this in their battle before so he doesn't know why King did this and what the effects are.
Suddenly, King becomes a lot faster than before, and he suddenly appears in front of Cricket. He kicks Cricket's stomach very hard that it flings Cricket far to the back. Cricket barely covered his stomach with Haki but the damage he got is still big.
"He got faster after removing his flame, huh? I don't know the connection between fire & speed or strength but I guess it's his race's trait. Damn, I've just gotten used to his strength, and now he abandons it for speed," says Cricket as he stands up.
King makes another move and he gets beside Cricket in a short time. He attacks Cricket using a fast barrage of punches. Cricket does his best to avoid the punches by utilizing his Observation Haki to the limit and covers his body with Armament Haki.
Cricket can avoid some but the other punches hit him. His Armament Haki blocks the punches that hit him but he can't keep defending like this. He needs to win so he needs to attack, not just defend.
But King's attacks are too fast so Cricket needs to find an opening. He waits patiently while dodging and blocking King's attacks. King ridicules him for staying defensive but Cricket doesn't mind it and keeps waiting for an opening.
Soon, he finally sees an opening when King uses a big move to make a stronger punch. Cricket dives in and gets closer to King, surprising the latter. King looks at Cricket who gets into a boxing stance and then sends a punch.
*BAM*
Cricket punches King's right side using his left hand. He punches King's liver, making King feels an agonizing pain. King has covered his body with Armament Haki but Cricket uses the advanced Haki that he has just learned in this battle.
His advanced Armament Haki is still weak compared to Buggy & Oden. But it is enough to break through King's Armament Haki and hits the inside. He also hits King's vital spot so the damage is high enough.
This is not the end though because Cricket crouches a little as King lowered his body because of the pain. Cricket then jumps and punches King's lower jaw as strongly as he can. He lands a clean hit and King spat some blood from his mouth.
"The requirement has been met. Captain taught me this combo move and this is the first time I use it in a real battle. This combo seems promising. Now, let's end this, King. Makunouchi Ippo special combo, last move: Dempsey Roll!" says Cricket excitedly as he swings his upper body to the side like an infinite symbol.
Cricket moves forward as he does that and then he starts to punch King. This move is meant to punch the opponent's head. But because King is a lot taller than Cricket, he has no choice but to punch King's torso.
*BAM BAM BAM*
As he makes a rolling motion with his body, Cricket punches King's liver from the right and left. The rolling momentum makes his punches stronger. His advanced Armament Haki also makes his punches more devastating even though it's still weak.
King can't do anything because of the excruciating pain. Cricket's advanced Haki punches have ripped his liver & other inside organs. The pain makes his consciousness fades away and soon he passes out after apologizing to Kaido.
