A Decisive Battle in Midair! Zoro's New Special Secret Technique Blasts!

Pica reaches the King's Plateau and begins mocking Riku's failure to protect Dressrosa because of his lack of military strength and inability to defeat his enemies. Riku admits that Pica is right and claims that he will never take the throne again before proclaiming that he tried his best to be a good man. As Pica prepares to attack, Zoro has Orlumbus throw him at high speed toward Pica. Flying through the air Zoro imbues his swords with Armament Haki before delivering a powerful attack, horizontally slicing Pica's stone body in two, shocking all observing. Upon seeing Pica's eyes reappear, Zoro leaps off the plateau while noting that Pica escaped into the upper half of his body before slicing that half in two vertically. As the two halves fall apart, Zoro notes that Pica's body will not be able to separate into different parts of the stone before cutting off the arm of the left half where Pica is residing. Upon seeing the fingers of the stone hand twitching, Zoro notes that Pica cannot escape into the ground while in midair before cutting off the fingers of the stone hand and demanding that Pica come out. When Pica does not respond, Zoro cuts the rest of the arm into five sections. Pica emerges and clads his whole body with Armament Haki and leaps forward in a final attempt to kill Zoro, only for Zoro to cut him down with his Three Thousand World. As the ruble from Pica's stone body begins to fall toward the plateau, Elizabello uses his King Punch to blow it away before expressing irritation at Zoro for making him use his punch to blow away stones as Zoro commends him for doing a good job.
