Kaido awakens and defeat Luffy during battle of Onigashima

General Cracker had been on an expedition to quell the chaos during this period. He had just returned to Whole Cake Island today when he discovered something unusual in the capital.

At this moment, he was looking at L'Aquila with great interest. Despite being a well-known powerhouse who had been active in the New World for many years, Cracker couldn't recall ever seeing the other person before.

It stood to reason that someone capable of defeating Oven's brother wouldn't be a nobody.

Calmly, Cracker said, "State your name. I don't want to kill you without knowing."

L'Aquila stared at him silently.

Cracker frowned.

At this point, Charlotte Galette spoke up loudly, "Brother, his name is Aquila, and he is from the Beasts Pirates!"

Cracker frowned immediately. He had heard of the name "Aloof Wings" before—a notorious and enigmatic individual.

Most intriguingly, the bounty photos of both men did not display their true appearances.

Grinning like a child discovering a new toy, he said, "Finally, an interesting opponent has arrived!"

Charlotte Compote warned at this moment, "Cracker, you can't kill him. Now is not the time to clash with the Beasts Pirates!"

"Spare his life?" Cracker held his giant sword, tilting his head as he scrutinized his opponent.

The Charlotte Family obviously had absolute confidence in Cracker's strength as a Sweet General, at least not believing that L'Aquila would be his match.

Even though she knew her opponent was a formidable general, L'Aquila, unruly by nature, felt anger at Cracker's arrogant tone and instantly transformed into a gust of wind, attacking him.

"To challenge me, you need to prove your worth first!" Cracker's smile remained unchanged as he clapped his hands unhurriedly.

In the next moment, a giant knight holding a massive sword and shield materialized out of thin air to intercept L'Aquila.

Cracker was a Biscuit Human who had consumed the Paramecia-type Bis-Bis Fruit, allowing him to create a large number of durable and powerful biscuit soldiers to fight on his behalf.

The giant figure standing before L'Aquila matched Cracker's appearance on his bounty poster. In reality, it was a puppet warrior, a Biscuit Soldier controlled by Cracker's ability.

L'Aquila recognized the Cookie Knight immediately and did not take it lightly. She attacked with two black, hardened claws, aiming to kick him away.

The Biscuit Knight swiftly raised its shield to block the attack, but the force of the blow pushed its massive body back some distance.

The sharp claws, capable of tearing through steel, embedded themselves deeply into the biscuit shield.

L'Aquila frowned, noting that the shield's hardness exceeded that of steel, which she normally would have torn through with ease.

Cracker raised his eyebrows, also surprised by L'Aquila's strength.

"Now I see why you could beat Brother Oven!"

"But fighting me is a different matter!"

Focusing his gaze on the Biscuit Knight, Cracker's puppet warrior pushed back and launched a powerful slash with its sword.

L'Aquila waved her wings in defense, coating them in Armament Haki. Her wings successfully blocked the slash, sending sparks flying.

The Biscuit Knight continued swinging its sword, but L'Aquila effortlessly blocked each strike, sparks flying with every clash. It was evident that L'Aquila possessed greater physical strength.

After testing the Biscuit Knight's strength, L'Aquila snorted in disdain. She used her wings to push away the giant sword, then leaped up and used an armored claw to break the sword. Following that, she kicked the knight in the chest.

The giant body of the Biscuit Knight rolled away and landed in front of Cracker.

Cracker looked at the fallen Cookie Knight, then up at the composed L'Aquila. Clapping his hands in feigned surprise, he said, "It's truly impressive. The Cookie Knight I control with full strength is formidable, yet you can suppress it. You are worthy of being a strong warrior from the Beasts Pirates!"

As Cracker continued clapping, the fallen Cookie Knight stood up again as if nothing had happened. The broken giant sword reassembled, and two more pairs of arms, each holding a giant sword, appeared under its ribs, transforming it into a six-armed warrior.

Cracker smiled lightly and said, "Come, let's try again!"

The Biscuit Knight, now wielding six giant swords, charged towards L'Aquila like a humanoid chariot.

The Biscuit Knight launched six simultaneous attacks, each as powerful as the previous. This sixfold increase in attack power caught L'Aquila off guard, and he was knocked back.

After regaining his balance and landing smoothly, L'Aquila seemed surprised.

However, the Biscuit Knight didn't give him any time to recover. It was already closing in, stabbing at him with six swords like raindrops.

Despite the hardness of his Armament Haki-coated wings, the continuous, bizarre attacks became unbearable.

Eventually, he was pinned to the ground, with no chance of escape.

The Biscuit Knight let out a war cry, and all six swords pressed down simultaneously. L'Aquila's body was pushed into the ground, carving out a terrifying gap.

With veins bulging on his face, L'Aquila flipped backward and quickly flapped his wings, utilizing the force of the wind to break free.

The Biscuit Knight paused its pursuit, carrying its giant swords, and stared coldly with an expression that seemed to dare L'Aquila to attack.

The veins on L'Aquila's face became even more prominent as his brutal blood surged. He dived down at high speed.

As King's strongest subordinate, L'Aquila wasn't just strong; he had unparalleled courage and ferocity, traits that rivaled the strongest of the Beasts Pirates. He had completed numerous near-death missions for King.

No matter how powerful his opponent, he was never afraid.

Diving, L'Aquila launched a high-speed gliding attack across the flat ground. His body spun rapidly like a drill, and his dark, hardened wings transformed into rotating black blades, cutting through the air toward the Biscuit Knight.

"Black Feather. Wind Breath Strangle!"

The Biscuit Knight jerked its six giant swords to block the attack, but at the moment of contact, they were all torn apart. From the swords to the arms, the entire body of the Biscuit Knight was twisted into cookie crumbs.

Aquila didn't stop after defeating the Biscuit Knight. He continued his assault, transforming into a black gust of wind and heading straight for Cracker, who looked momentarily surprised.

Aquila knew that Cracker was the one controlling the Biscuit Knight to humiliate him.

After a brief expression of shock, Cracker reverted to his usual disdainful smile. He raised the giant sword in his hand and faced Aquila without dodging.

The weapon in Cracker's hand was a genuine famous sword, not one created by his Bis-Bis Fruit ability.

Cracker wasn't relying solely on his Devil Fruit powers. His own swordsmanship and Haki skills were exceptional as well.

Holding his sword confidently, Cracker clashed with Aquila, the ferocity of their battle sending sparks flying.

"Roll Pretzel!"

Catching an opening, Cracker smiled sinisterly. The giant sword in his hand began to spin at high speed, its blade darkened with Armament Haki, and he thrust it towards Aquila with deadly precision.
