Yea. He had said it. Not directly, but the underlying implication was enough for the universe as it seemed.

The chaos on Onigashima was big, fights everywhere as the Strawhats, Kidd Pirates and Heart Pirates were causing Mayhem all around just to defeat Kaido.

King, as Kaido's right hand man, got himself into a fight with Monkey D. Luffy's, Captain of the Strawhats, second in command, Roronoa Zoro. And to say it was a heated, bloody fight would be an understatement.

The Lunarian was a good fighter, there was no denying it, but so was that stupid, directionless mosshead. And thus, the fight was just as bad as Kaido against Luffy.

You on the other hand, were another Tobiroppo, which meant you were under the All-Star, but not weak either. Being caught between the blades of both of them? Wasn't noted in the plan, was it? No. But there you were, a wounded side that almost made you dizzy from how much of red liquid was pouring out.

Of course that just made King more agitated, considering that you two were closer, if one could say that without getting beheaded by the Lunarian.

"You won't win this!", King yelled, still clashing with Zoro before he suddenly made his move up into the sky.

It just happened too fast, didn't it? Flashing lights that were almost enough to blind someone.. And then silence. King might've used his strongest attack, though it wasn't enough. Not enough for another victory.

Everything felt like it was black, soundless, as if the clouds were carrying everything. Half of King's right wing was off and he was falling, falling from the floating island which was a good hundred feet in the air.

Oh how he wanted to keep his eyes closed, yet those calls.. Those calls of yours were impossible to ignore.

You stood by the edge of Onigashima, contemplating what to do as Zoro just watched, however, his eyes just narrowed while he sheated his swords again. "Give up already." Zoro told you. His audacity was really a pain.. Alber was falling below the island, eyes barely able to stay open from exhaustion.
