Chereads / Ballad of the Crows / Chapter 85 - The shadow of the flame.

Chapter 85 - The shadow of the flame.

Baby 5 and Buffalo had made it to Punk Hazard, but were unlucky enough to reach the Shadow of Aghata deck.

Where they were subdued by the Wieser brothers, to be taken to the ship's cells.

Meanwhile Doflamingo had reached where Smoker was, and started a massacre.

Doflamingo: Why did you let them escape... Why did you let those fucking brats escape?

Smoker: I have no…no idea… Joker… but I would advise you to get out of here as soon as possible, for your own good.

Doflamingo: They're gone right.

Smoker was preparing to fight.

Smoker: There was nothing else I could do other than stand aside and let them go...

Doflamingo: You know too much.

At that moment a fight began between Smoker and Doflamingo.

In another part of the island were the Darks Crows, in the middle of the snow.

Laffitte: Captain, I don't think letting them go was the best decision.

Laxus: The captain has his reasons….

Katahara: There was no reason to kill Dragon's son, I have no intention of facing the Revolutionaries...

Next to them was Momonosuke, Kin'emon and Caesar,

Momonosuke: Master why are we heading to the middle of this frozen place.

Katahara: There's someone I need to see personally, though I'm not sure if he'll be here.

Robin: Captain, Marc reported that they captured 2 people who wanted to destroy the ship, they claim to be from Donquixote's gang, specifically Baby 5 and Buffalo.

Receiving looks of distaste for the news.

Katahara: It seems that Joker thinks he is untouchable when trying to attack my ship, Robin returns with all the children and Caesar, Kin'emon will accompany you.

Robin: Both are in the dungeon right now, yes captain, let's go kids.

Katahara: Well, we'll be back soon and Laffitte will make sure you guys have a good time.

While Laffitte's laugh was heard in the background.

At that moment an incredible killing intent permeated the atmosphere.

Van Augur: Captain.

Katahara: So it's already started huh...

In another part of the island, Doflamingo was paralyzed.

Kōhīuma: Joker, would you mind moving, he's my friend.

While behind him were a hundred high-ranking officers.

Joker ignored him and tried to kill Smoker, but before he could do so, a flame attacked him without being able to defend himself, throwing him meters away.

Joker: HAAA…HAAA…HAAA..

Kōhīuma: It seems to me that you just attacked a vice admiral…. That would revoke your Shichibukai title.

Joker: I don't intend to fight… Fufufu… but if I can't make sure he won't talk…. I'll have to change my plans.

As he stands up and heads to face Kōhīuma, he then tries to walk away.

Kōhīuma: I don't remember giving you permission to leave…

At that moment, everyone present felt that something dangerous was approaching them.

Making everyone turn to see the same place.

Even Joker began to worry about what was to come, he had only experienced this feeling when he was in front of Kaido.

But he knew that it was impossible for it to be the same Kaido, and only one person came to mind.

In the middle of the snow you could see 9 people wearing a black dress, being led by a man wearing a conical hat.

Seeing them the hearts of almost all the people began to pressure, they knew perfectly well who those people were and who was the one who guided them.

Only the admiral himself and 9 people were relatively calm.

Kōhīuma (Ryu) saw them approaching and he also decided to approach them.

Joker didn't hesitate a bit and disappeared as fast as he could.

The marines did not give importance to Joker's escape.

The two groups were facing each other.

And more specifically, Katahara was facing Ryu.

Katahara: I see you are now Admiral Kōhīuma… Ryu.

Ryu: What should I call you now... Boody Crow, or Crow King... Katahara.

Crashing their own Conqueror Hakis.

All the people who were on Punk Hazard Island and even Aghata's Shadow felt the clash of Conqueror's Haki from two monsters that were ready to start a battle.

Katahara unsheathed her sword, at the moment of doing so all her commanders drew their weapons and were ready to start the battle.

In the name of the navy, Ryu drew his sword, as did all the vice admirals.

The atmosphere was tense, all the marines who were of lower rank began to escape from the place, carrying Smoker.

Katahara: So that's the new version of the Hashira huh… it leaves a lot to be desired…

Ryu: Now there is no Shansk to save you...

Receiving a dissatisfied look from the Raven King.

Katahara: Dry brothers, I hope you are in better shape after Laxus has played with you.

Strike a chord with the Dry brothers.

Katahara: You must be Jigoro, right?... The one with the moon breath... Nothing impressive...

Receiving a look of displeasure from Jigoro.

Laffitte: Vice Admiral Momonga…. Vice Admiral Dalmata… and of course the beautiful Vice Admiral Gion.

Katahara: Then why don't we start...

Striking with his Shodai Kitetsu, against Admiral Ryu's sword, causing a shock wave that everyone present had to resist.

Everyone present began to fight.

Black lightning could be seen crashing into the snow, shadows striking without warning, roars that would have rendered an ordinary person unconscious, gunshots everywhere, poisonous dragons could also be seen crashing into the ground.

And of course the blue fire that gave a touch to the whole place melting all the snow.

Above all could be seen in the sky, a golden flame that matched the color of the sun, but not only compared to the sun in its color.

The temperature of that fire was compared in temperature to that of the sun.

And what he faced in that peerless light, was a shadow with endless darkness, that was so cold it was.

The flame faced its shadow.
