Moments Later – Voidreign Arrives
The Voidreign burst through the clouds, its hull glowing with magical energy as it descended toward the island.
"Whoa…" Vash said, peering over the edge. "That's a warzone down there."
Jessie's eyes narrowed as he spotted the Seraphim, the Marines, and Blackbeard's forces all clashing.
"This isn't just about Amazon Lily," he muttered. "This is a battlefield between kings, weapons, and ghosts of the past."
Uta looked concerned. "What's the plan?"
Jessie cracked his knuckles. "Same as always. We hit hard. We help who needs helping. And if someone pisses me off…" He grinned. "I punch them into the sea."
Kuina tied her hair back. "I'll handle the swordsman clone. I need to test my skills."
Vash loaded his revolvers. "I've got the skies."
Uta pulled out her mic and headphones. "Time to drop a song of chaos."
The Voidreign descended.

Back on the Ground – Three Forces Collide
Blackbeard is choking Hancock, and Hancock is screaming in pain. Coby stood to the side, unsure whether to stop the fighting or join it.
Then the wind howled—Jessie landed between them with a crash that sent up dust and cracked the ground.
"Yo," Jessie said casually. "Hope I'm not too late."
Boa Hancock looked at him, startled. "Who…?"
Blackbeard laughed. "And who the hell are you?"
Jessie looked at the Seraphim still wreaking havoc. His gaze hardened.
"Beating up kids isn't my style," he said, cracking his knuckles. "Especially kids who didn't choose to be weapons."
He glanced back at Uta, Kuina, and Vash landing behind him.
"This island is under our protection now."
Blackbeard's laughter died down. "You've got guts, brat."
Jessie smirked. "I've got more than that."
