The battle between King and Ray was beginning to heat up as both fighters were unleashing the full extent of their powers.
Ray hung Kurenza straight above his head, whilst breathing in slowly he let his Haki flow into Kurenza. To slow down King, Ray unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, breaking King's focus and calm as King couldn't react to the attack before him.
Using Tekkai on both his arms and legs, Ray prepared as he was about to unleash one of his deadly techniques. Against Kaido, they had mostly been useless but that was a different story for King.
One Sword Style- Swift End
He swung his katana slowly horizontally in a graceful fashion, at the same time he used Soru and blinked right in front of King like he had teleported.
Ray's Haki flared as his katana swiftly slashed in unfathomable speed across King's body, slicing through his flesh like butter. For the first time in this fight, Ray's strikes against King's body met no resistance. Blood sprayed from King's large slash wound, his body full of pain. Despite his injury, King swung his sword forcing Ray to retreat.
For a brief moment these two men started at one another, Ray somewhat shocked at King's durability as he ate that slash with little difficulty, whilst King had disbelief hidden behind his mask, Ray was like a flash, he was simply unable to detect him.
King took a deep breath and clamed down, as he prepared to engage Ray once again.
'I need to unleash my full strength and waste no time, the other Marines might get here soon' thought King.
Andon
King conjured a fireball over his open left palm, then formed a fist to execute a powerful flame-clad punch. King then launched himself forwards, appearing above Ray. In response, Ray slashed upwards, clashing with King's fist.
They clash for a brief moment before King was knocked up in the air, however King was far from finished.
King then ignited his sword's blade and, from its tip, produced a large, whirling, serpentine like dragon made of fire, it's intensity could be felt even much further away. He released his technique as the dragon locked onto Ray's figure.
Karyudon
Unwillingly to dodge, Ray stood still and laughed like a maniac.
"YES, YES! Only this calibre of strength can hope to amuse me King!"
Holding Kurenza with both hands, he held it directly next to his head, Ray then launched himself at the dragon.
Ray then swung his katana in dominant fashion as he let his Haki flow onto his blade, disregarding his graceful form from earlier, this technique was sheer power.
One Sword Style- Hell's end
A magnificent air slash was released from Kurenza as it collied with King's Karyudon, the heat and energy slashed with the slash's power and Haki. Their attacks locked in a brief stalemate before they both crumbled, unleashing a blazing blast that melted the surrounding ice into water.
As a result King and Ray were both sent flying back as the intensity of their clash released a massive shockwave.
"HAH HAH HAH, fucking magnificent I must say!" shouted Ray in anticipation as he inspected the damage caused by their impact.
"It's about time we conclude our battle don't you think King?" questioned Ray.
"Hmmph, don't steal my line lowly Marine" responded King in annoyance.
Taking a breath of fresh air, Ray unsheathed his katana into it's scabbard, he spread his arms out and briefly closed his eyes. Clenching his right hand into a fist, Ray opened his eyes. Conqueror's Haki was unleashed, pummelling King as Ray exerted his will over him.
ZzzZt
Despite the pressure, King ignored it and flew into the air, preparing his final technique, determined to end this Marine today.
Ray, vanished into thin air, King used his Observation Haki attentively before spotting Ray high up in the sky, diving directly towards King.
King coated his body in fire while soaring higher into the sky, flying in circle while high up to create a massive whirl of fire, then shooting off from its centre, was a massive fire beam that split apart into twelve fire dragons that matched Karyudon.
Omori Karyudon!
In the sky's above, Ray flowed all his Haki into his right fist to it's maximum capacity, somewhat mimicking Garp. His strongest technique so far, Ray combined Ryokuogan, Tekkai and Advanced Armament Haki all together.
As Ray dived down, using his momentum, Ray swung his fist down at full might towards King.
"Today, I rise, you fall!" shouted Ray, confident in his victory, as he unleashed the full might of his technique.
Divine Justice!
A lethal, massive shockwave was released from Ray's fist, plummeting towards King's.
Both attacks met one another, colliding as waves of energy was released from the point of impact. King then proceeded to concentrate the twelve dragons into a single large dragon, increasing the intensity of his attack.
However, it was futile as Ray's attack slowly overpowered and ultimately dispersed the dragon due to it's sheer strength. Time seemed to slow down as King watched in terror as the deadly yet invisible shockwave directed towards him in unbelievable speeds.
Boom!
It had connected, Ray's blow slammed onto King, breaking all his bones and teared apart his flesh as King slowly lost consciousness. Before losing consciousness, he muttered slowly. 'I have... failed you Kaido-san'.
King then was blasted directly into the water below as the heat of his attack had melted the ice.
A figure flew down, landing in a spot where the heat hadn't reached. Despite looking exhausted, beaten up due to both his battles with Kaido and King, he was determined to look strong and tall. His left hand rested on the hilt of his katana as he declared.
"This is my victory...King!"
Thus was the conclusion of an intense battle between All-star, King the Conflagration and Ray who had risen to a new peak this day.
