One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 122 Fastest and Strongest! This is the form of the Winged Dragon of Ra!
Under the pitch-black night sky, light is scattering.

"bake!"

It appears with the wind, suppressing the burning flames.

"Buzz!"

It was accompanied by a powerful surge that caused the earth to crack.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Before Akainu, unprecedentedly enormous wings of light unfolded.

The figure that emerged from the egg shone as brightly as the sun at that moment.

The golden patterns that were originally just beneath his skin now seemed to appear directly on his body.

The pterosaur's body, which was originally covered with scales, was now covered with a layer of golden feathers due to the effect of the Egg-Egg Fruit. However, the feathers merged with the scales to form a structure like armor.

The unique flames and clouds that awakened were also illuminated by the light, turning them into a golden color like the sun.

Above its sharp beak were crimson eyes, and its body was surrounded by red mist; its appearance was like a bird yet also like a dragon.

Even the well-informed Akainu couldn't help but become serious.

"What kind of mythical beast is that?"

As a general, he was no stranger to mythical beasts.

He was already aware of the rumors that the Rooster was a 'Mythical Zoan' ability user.

However—he had never heard of a mythical beast in this form before.

At that moment, Youji adjusted his rooster-head mask.

Although Akainu couldn't see the face behind the mask, he could almost sense the amusement in Akainu's words.

"I am a user of the Mythical Zoan type, Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Winged Dragon of Ra form."

He casually told a baseless lie: "By the way, you can call me 'Sun God'."

Winged Rathalos

But for a powerful figure in the pirate world who routinely announces the name of a Devil Fruit during fights, Akainu actually took it to heart: "Never heard of it."

"boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Because at that moment, he saw the rooster's wings spread out once, and then the rooster's figure had already disappeared.

And the next moment.
"later!?"

His Observation Haki allowed him to detect the aura coming from behind him.

But what Akainu found unbelievable was that the aura emanating from behind him at that moment was incredibly strong in both speed and power.

"boom!"

He could even hear the sound of the ground beneath his feet, along with the surrounding trees, being torn apart by the shockwave.

"Crimson armor."

Then, surging magma erupted from Akainu's body, faintly transforming into a crimson armor that enveloped his body.

But
"boom!"

The next moment, the attack from behind pierced through the magma armor and Akainu's body without hesitation.

"Uh"

Even though he had dodged by transforming into his elemental form beforehand, the attack, which was accompanied by a powerful burst of cherry blossoms, still sent Akainu flying.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

His figure pierced through all the buildings on Island 8 and was blasted onto Island 9.

During the flight, Akainu could even clearly see the Rooster with its wings spread wide, its appearance like that of a god, not far away.

The intense heat from Akainu's magma had eroded his scales and feathers, but they were healed under the light before they could even burn.

That's only natural.

"At this moment, even your lava cannot burn me."

The Rooster calmly clenched its fist, feeling the unprecedented power within its body.

[Sunflower Fruit Awakening - Sunny Status]

[Tyrannosaurus Rex Special Status: Ancient Form]

【Egg-Egg Fruit Awakening - Sun-Crowing Rooster】

That is the strongest form of the twelve constellations, known as the Rooster.

Or to be more precise.

Of all of Roy's current clones.

Whether it's taking the head of an enemy general amidst a vast army or simply assassinating someone, the Rat is undoubtedly number one.

When it comes to the speed at which an island is destroyed or a building is demolished, the Pig (亥猪) is second to none.

When it comes to the ability to alter celestial phenomena or terrain and create natural disasters, the Dragon is the foremost among them.

When it comes to secretly gathering information, the Dog (戌狗) is the most adept.

But to talk about a real one-on-one head-on confrontation.

At this moment, the Rooster, having entered its 'Winged Rathalos Form', is absolutely the strongest.

Of course, maintaining the special state of these three fruits requires a lot of physical strength.

Even Youji could sense that, despite possessing the combined strength of two Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits, his stamina was rapidly depleting at a rate almost like a flood.

Maintaining these three states simultaneously in the 'Winged Dragon Form' means the battle won't last very long.

But at least as he said before—

That was enough to make him cause a huge scene.

"Buzz!"

With a flap of its wings, both gale and radiance coexist.

The rooster's figure reappeared above Akainu's head before he even landed, moving at an impossibly fast speed.

The terrifying speed made Akainu's pupils shrink again, but he struggled to raise his hands and throw out both fists.

"Pluto!"

The two fists pierced through the rooster's head in an instant, but his head was repaired in the next moment.

Instead
"Body of Light - Tail Strike!"

The massive tail, like a hammer, slammed down towards Akainu's head in an instant.

"boom!"

Before the latter could be knocked to the ground, the rooster swung out its claw again.

"Claw of Light - Giant Beast Slash!"

The sharp claws, gripping the flowing cherry blossoms, instantly slashed three deep, bone-revealing, hideous wounds across Akainu's body. Akainu's figure was then blasted away by this attack, instantly piercing through Islands 11 and 12, and flying into the sky above Island 13.

"Meteor volcano!"

Even under such a heavy blow, Akainu still managed to transform into his elemental form. A strong aura of dominance enveloped his hands, and countless raindrops of magma rained down on Rooster once again.

"Shield of Light - Solar Wing Shield!"

But at this moment, the rooster simply covered its body with its wings.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Countless streams of magma scorched the wing membrane, yet could not penetrate the wings that were enveloped in intense light.

next moment.
With a flap of its wings, countless wind blades and light rain blasted away the remaining lava, and the Rooster's figure once again appeared in front of Akainu.

"Crack!"

His fist, the dazzling light emanating from it at that moment even made Akainu close his eyes—that light seemed to illuminate the entire Sabaody Archipelago in that instant.

"Secret Technique: Winged Dragon Strike!"

The Rooster punches down!
In that instant, the ear-piercing shriek and the burst of intense light were like meteors falling onto the island!
"Boom!"

Accompanied by a towering pillar of light, a terrifying shockwave instantly pierced through the entire Thirteenth Island.

The island's foundation, which was originally made up of tree roots, collapsed almost instantly. A huge mushroom cloud and dust rose up, and massive waves surged from the disintegrating island. The mangrove tree in the center of the island also collapsed directly.

With just one punch, another of the 79 islands in the Sabaody Archipelago was gone. And without a doubt, the battle between the two was being witnessed by the onlookers.

So, whether it's the navy on the island rescuing civilians with Colonel T-Bone or...

Whether it's the slaves or commoners who fled in panic and gathered together on the island.

Even the criminals who were trying to evade capture by the navy were almost stunned at this moment.

"That's... 'Akainu'!? A Marine Admiral was actually..."

"Impossible! How could Admiral Akainu be suppressed by that Rooster?"

"Did they take them down? What kind of monsters are those 10 and 12 constellations?!"

"Hey! What are you standing there for? Run! If those two monsters attack—we'll all get caught in the crossfire!"

"I heard Island Number 1 is gone, maybe it was destroyed by these two."

Amidst the commotion and cries of alarm throughout the Sabaody Archipelago.

"call"

On a tree trunk on a distant island, Xia Qi, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, exhaled a puff of smoke.

"This guy is really something else—reckless."

She looked at Island No. 13, which had already disappeared into the sea, and couldn't help but shake her head.

Although her sixth sense had already foreseen that the Rooster would inevitably cause trouble.

But she never expected the mess to get this big.

It's not just the twelve constellations; now even the Celestial Dragons and the Admirals are involved.

And
"That's truly an amazing power."

She looked at the Rooster, whose form was like the sun, illuminating the nearby islands and sky whenever it passed by.

Even she, who had witnessed two legendary eras, couldn't help but marvel at the power displayed by the Rooster at this moment.

Although she could also see that the Rooster's aura was being rapidly depleted, and this power was clearly not something that could be maintained for long.

Even so, it is still remarkable that they were able to suppress the general to this extent for a short period of time.

"The Twelve Constellations. It seems I'll have to have a good talk with Rayleigh when he gets back."

"Yes, and there's also the new bar thing—it's time for Rayleigh to take out his secret stash of money."

She muttered to herself, but her eyes remained fixed on the rooster.

Although there was no intention to offer help.

But it goes without saying which side she's on.

next moment.
"Ok?"

Seemingly noticing something, she raised an eyebrow with interest, and then a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Meanwhile...
"Bang!" "Bang!"

The rooster, flapping its wings, soared through the sky, its gaze fixed on the massive cloud of dust caused by the sinking of the island below.

And
"Haha. You twelve zodiac signs are all dangerous guys after all."

The deep, dangerous voice came from within the smoke and dust.

"bake!"

The lava burned, and crimson light spread across the sea after the island sank.

"laugh!"

The scorching magma gradually cooled on the surface of the sea, the flames of the magma dissipated, and then formed pieces of hard rock.

That practically turned the sea below into a giant 'floating island'.

And on the floating island at this moment.

Akainu's figure emerged from the smoke.

His red suit had been torn to shreds by the previous blows, revealing his strong physique and the gruesome wounds that were dripping blood.

Blood was already trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained as resolute as iron.

"I sensed it as early as when I heard Marshal Sengoku and Lieutenant General Garp mention it."

At that moment, molten lava once again gathered on his gloved fist.

“You are one of the greatest new evils to emerge on this sea in this era.”

Akainu spoke in a deep voice, looking at the Rooster above.

Yes.

The twelve constellations are neither pirates nor revolutionaries.

They are a mysterious force that has emerged unexpectedly and whose origins are unknown.

The Navy has been conducting research on them, but the final conclusion is that there is no conclusion.

Everything about this organization is still a mystery.

And that's the scariest part.

The Four Emperors wouldn't rashly try to seize the Celestial Gold, because they didn't want to start a war with the World Government.

The revolutionary army would not rashly assassinate a large number of kings, because such methods would cause them to lose the support of the people, which is the very foundation of their existence.

All forces in this world should have traceable origins.

But the 'twelve constellations' are the only exception.

They appeared to be collecting Baileys, but the Navy never discovered the purpose of their search for that massive amount of Baileys.

They possess extraordinary technology that allows them to manufacture the special alloys that have now had a huge impact on the world.

Each of their cadres has a mysterious background, and it is now impossible to find the true identity of any of them on the open sea.

Now, Akainu has personally experienced the power possessed by the Rooster, the highest-ranking member of the Twelve Constellations.

Even Akainu had to admit that it was a power that made him tremble.

Such a powerful force with unknown origins and purposes acts almost entirely out of control.

Akainu certainly understood what this meant.

“You are a greater threat than the so-called ‘Sea Emperors,’ and you are the biggest destabilizing factor of our time.”

At this moment, he was certain of this.

so.
"bake!"

He clenched his fists.

His wound brought him a long-lost intense pain, a testament to the power of the Rooster.

To be able to injure a naval admiral to such an extent—this is a remarkable achievement on the high seas.

But for 'Akainu' Sakazuki...

These injuries can only be described as 'nothing more'.

He didn't even show any emotion in his eyes.

Let's not even talk about these wounds.

Even if the body is torn apart, the internal organs are pierced, and the bones are crushed.

He can fight as long as there is evil in front of him that must be eradicated.

If muscles break, use bones; if hands break, use legs; even if all four limbs are broken, he still has teeth—his fighting spirit is like an inextinguishable flame in magma.

"The Admirals are the banner of justice—and justice cannot be defeated!"

Akainu's cold, sharp words fell.

But then
"?"

His expression changed.

It was only at this moment that he noticed.

Above his head, the body of the 'Rooster' that had been flapping its wings in the sky with an indifferent expression had unknowingly become somewhat dim.

Just a moment later
"Snapped!"

His figure dissipated before Akainu, turning into fragments of light.
