XX-level Hokage

Immediately afterwards, Garin's cold voice came from the pit, "Are you determined to be an enemy of the World Government? It seems I overestimated you: although you are a bit smarter than Charlotte Linlin, you are only slightly better."

Then, Korin Saint stepped out of the pit, using his sword to block Kaido's spiked club.

Kaido looked at the unharmed Korin without any surprise, and simply said, "Shut up, you lackey of the World Government."

"Since that's the case, then I won't hold back." With that, Karin slashed fiercely at Kaido with his sword. Red and black Conqueror's Haki coiled around the blade.

Kaido immediately withdrew his spiked club to defend himself, and was then knocked back more than ten meters.

Just as Korin was about to press his advantage, Kaido suddenly transformed into his blue dragon form, flew into the air, and unleashed a breath attack on Korin. "Heat Breath!"

Sensing the immense power contained within the breath and the consequences of being struck, Karin, who possessed the ability of Observation Slash, chose to dodge.

This breath attack had a range of several kilometers and was even more powerful than Garin had anticipated. After he dodged it, it instantly pierced through several large trees behind her and struck the sea. The trees instantly evaporated, and the sea within a radius of several miles where the breath struck began to boil.

Immediately afterwards, Kaido launched another attack.

He spat out a large number of wind blades from his mouth, slicing towards Garin. As the wind blades struck, the ground shattered, and even the air was cut, making a "whoosh" sound.

Seeing the approaching wind blades, Garin raised his sword and swung it. "Wing of God"

Countless red blades appeared, facing the wind blades.

Taking advantage of Kaido's wind blade attack, Korin instantly appeared in front of Kaido, wielding his sword with both hands and unleashing an invisible slash that left a large bloodstain on Kaido's body.

"Exactly what I want!"

As Korin approached, Kaido spun his dragon body in a circular motion like a top, creating several massive tornadoes that sucked Korin into them. The tornadoes greatly obstructed Korin's vision.

At the same time, countless tiny wind blades sliced ​​through Garin's body, forcing him to activate his Absolute Armament Haki to defend himself. By the time Garin emerged from the tornado...

Kaido's blue dragon body suddenly turned red and slammed into Mashiro. "Fire Dragon Torch".

Korin immediately activated "Observation Kill," narrowly dodging Kaido's attack.

A red fire dragon crashed into the ground, instantly melting everything it touched—soil, rocks, trees. Then, a blue dragon flew out of the lava.

Its four claws rested on the fiery clouds it created in the air, silently lurking in the sky. "This is really difficult to deal with," Garin sighed solemnly.

In his view, Kaido now is incredibly close to Roger in his prime.

However, "Roger" was Roger in his prime, while he was no longer the young and vigorous Korin. Just then, Kaido charged at them again.

Seeing this, Garin had no choice but to disappear from the spot again.

Kaido crashed heavily into a small hill, instantly leveling it. Smoke billowed out.

Korin landed not far away, watching Kaido emerge from the smoke, his thoughts drifting back to the past. He had seen Kaido before, at God Valley.

Back then, Kaido was just an apprentice under Rocks. Who could have imagined that decades later, he would have driven himself to this state? Time truly waits for no one.

Thinking this, Garin Sei longed even more for the position of one of the Five Elders.

After all, who doesn't yearn for immortality?

He has already lost one of his comrades, and he doesn't want to die!

Chapter 176: Total War (Part 6)

On the other side of Dressrosa, the battle between Revolutionary Army leader Monkey D. Dragon and Kroll Saint, a striker of the Knights of God, was also raging.

Kroll Saint was tall and wore sniper glasses. He held a sniper rifle, the muzzle of which gleamed dangerously in the sunlight.

The air around him seemed to distort, a result of his bloodline ability—summoning mirrors that floated in the air. He used these mirrors to reflect his lightning bullets, causing them to change direction in mid-air and deliver fatal blows to his enemies.

"Revolutionary Army leader, Monkey D. Dragon, originally out of respect for Garp, our Knights of God didn't intend to intervene directly, but we didn't expect you to go so far," Krol Saint sneered. "Do you really think your storm can stop my bullets?"

The dragon stood not far away, its figure shrouded in the raging wind.

The air around him was thick with moisture, as if a storm was about to break out at any moment.

His gaze was unwavering, and his body had entered the Zoan-type Mythical Beast-type Quetzalcoatl form, with huge wings stretching out from his back, as if an ancient mythical creature had been reborn into the world.

“Saint Krol,” the dragon replied calmly, “you may have many mirrors, but they are ultimately just toys in your hands. You Celestial Dragons have been in this land of evil for far too long. Times have changed, and the World Government is no longer invincible!”

As soon as the dragon finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly arose, dark clouds filled the sky, and thunder roared.

Not to be outdone, Krol Saint pulled the trigger, and a jet-black lightning bullet roared out, heading straight for the dragon. The lightning bullet drew an arc in the air, then was reflected by the mirror, its speed and angle unpredictable.

Dragon's Observation Haki keenly detected the trajectory of the lightning bullet. His body twisted in mid-air, transforming into a streak of light, and swiftly dodged it. "Storm Howls!"

The dragon roared, flapped its wings, and unleashed a howling wind that swept up countless trees and rocks, forming an inescapable wall of wind around Saint Krol.

However, Kroll Saint had already laid a trap. His mirror moved with the wind, reflecting it in other directions, and then locked onto the dragon's position again. Lightning bullets bounced back between the mirrors, forming a deadly barrage.

With a shout, Long Lengting suddenly burst into the air, her hands transforming into dragon claws, clenching together and converging into lightning-like light.

"Thunderous Strike!" With the dragon's roar, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking towards where Saint Kroll was. Saint Kroll was prepared; his mirror moved swiftly, altering the lightning's trajectory.

However, while his attention was focused on the lightning, the dragon had already appeared behind him. "Wind Dragon's Fury!"

The dragon's fist descended like a storm, carrying boundless power, striking Chroll Saint squarely in the back.

Kroll Saint Heart paused for a moment, then was sent flying dozens of feet, crashing into the upper right side of a huge rock. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. "Your speed," Kroll Saint Heart coughed, "is faster than I expected."

The dragon gave him no chance to catch his breath, spreading its wings once more to prepare for the next wave of attacks.

Just then, Krol Saint's mirror suddenly emitted a blinding light, reflecting countless lightning bullets that formed an all-around attack net.

Dragon quickly sensed the danger and unleashed the full speed of his Feathered Serpent form, weaving through the air to evade most of the attacks. However, a few bullets still grazed his shoulder, leaving trails of blood.

"I underestimated you." The dragon gently shook its head, a hint of admiration flashing in its light.

"Hmph, the leader of the revolutionary army is indeed extraordinary." Krol Saint wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and straightened up.

"However, this is far from over." Dragon gathered his power once more, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Saint Krol. Just as the two were about to clash again, a tremendous roar suddenly came from the distant sky. That was the direction from which Kaido and Saint Korin were fighting, clearly indicating that the battle had entered a white-hot phase.

Long frowned slightly. He knew that the longer this battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. He had to eliminate the enemy in front of him as soon as possible and then go to support other battlefields.

"It seems I need to speed things up." Long said in a deep voice, his body once again enveloped by the gale, transforming into a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Porol.

Kroll Saint quickly set up his mirror, preparing to counterattack. However, the dragon was faster than he expected, appearing before him in an instant. "This time, it's your end." The dragon's voice rang in Kroll Saint's ears like a whirlwind.

Immediately, a fierce dragon claw descended from the sky. Krol Saint tried to dodge, but it was too late. The immense force sent him flying, crashing to the ground.

“You’re really something else, you’ve actually grown to this level.” Krol Saint stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly. “I’ve said it before, times have changed, you old fogies should have risen long ago.” Dragon said calmly.

"Then come on, dragon, let's see if you're strong enough to say that!" said Saint Krol, as he threw a punch, and the surroundings instantly appeared out of thin air.

The crystal mirror now appears to be enveloping it.

Immediately afterward, Kroll fired a shot. Instantly, a hail of bullets erupted.

Countless black lightning bolts formed a massive electric net, continuously enveloping the dragon.

The dragon's expression turned serious as it gathered violent wind energy in its hands to meet Krol Saint's attack.

His figure moved with ghostly speed, dodging in an instant, followed by a powerful wind blade strike towards Saint Krol. "Hmph!"

Kroll Saint snorted coldly, quickly dodging to the side, then counterattacked with another shot. Each of his shots was like lightning from hell, carrying destructive power.

"Wind Blade!" The dragon's voice was like thunder, and powerful wind energy instantly transformed into a sharp blade, tearing towards Krol Saint and heading straight for his body.

"You think such an attack can defeat me?" Saint Krol scoffed, his body grazed by the wind blades, leaving only a shallow wound. Immediately, the electric net completely enveloped the dragon.

At that moment, the dragon made a move that greatly surprised Saint Krol.

He crashed straight into the sea to his right. "!"

The dragon crashed directly into the sea.

"You really are insane!" Krol Saint said in disbelief.

But soon, his smile vanished. A whirlpool appeared on the surface of the sea.

The vortex expanded and rose, eventually forming a waterspout. At the center of the waterspout, the dragon's face appeared solemn.

In an instant, a massive waterspout connecting heaven and earth crashed into Krol Saint's net.

Soon, the massive waterspout, along with the projectile net and Kroll Saint, vanished.

Dragon stood in the center of the battlefield, looked around to make sure there were no other ambushes, then spread his wings and flew towards the battlefield between Kaido and Korin. Dragon prayed in his heart that the Yonko could hold out until he arrived.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and thunder roared, foreshadowing the escalating intensity of the battle. On this battlefield, the conflict between the pirate alliance and the World Government was drawing ever closer to its climax.

Chapter 177: Total War (The End)

On another battlefield not far from Dressrosa, Katakuri, the leader of the "Three Disasters" of the Beasts Pirates and one of the "Sweet Commanders" of the Big Mom Pirates, and Sabo, the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army, were engaged in a fierce battle with Tikapro, one of the Knights of God.

Tikkapro Saint is a burly warrior with the berserk bloodline of one of the ancient "Twenty Kings".

His body can unleash devastating power in battle, his muscles bulging and his skin glowing with an eerie red light. His domineering aura is exceptionally strong, and every punch he throws carries awe-inspiring force.

"You traitors, how dare you dream of overthrowing the World Government!" Tikkapro roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield. The reply was cold: "For the future of the new world, we must destroy the old order."

Yu transformed into a Pteranodon, flapping his enormous wings, the air thick with scorching heat. He soared into the sky, then swooped down, his sharp claws aimed directly at Tikkapro Saint.

"Well done!" Tikkapro Saint laughed wildly. He didn't dodge, but instead charged forward, raising his fist to collide with Yu's dragon claw. "Boom!"

The two collided, shaking the ground and sending shockwaves scattering. He was knocked back several meters, but quickly regained his footing and rejoined the battle. At the same time, Katakuri used his Paramecia-type Mochi Mochi Fruit ability to rapidly change forms.

His arm transformed into a huge, supple glutinous rice ball, coiling and attacking Tikapro Saint with "Glutinous Rice Ball Assault!"

Katakuri's attacks were as nimble as a long snake, blocking Ticapro Saint's retreat.

However, Tikapro Saint's domineering aura was so strong that his body actually broke through the blockade of Nuotuan.

"Hmph, a mere Mochi Mochi Fruit, it can't do anything to me!" Tikkapro Saint sneered, his body swelling once more, his power continuously increasing. Just then, a flame suddenly ignited behind Tikkapro Saint.

Sabo attacked from the side with the Dragon Claw Fist technique, accompanied by raging flames. "Flame Dragon Claw Fist!"

Sabo's attack was precise and swift, the flames drawing a dazzling trail in the air as they hurtled toward Tikkapro Saint's flank.

Tikkapro Saint barely managed to dodge to the side, but his shoulder was still scorched by the flames, emitting a puff of black smoke. His expression became even more strained, burning with rage.

"Your little tricks are nothing to brag about!" Tikapro roared, his rage further awakening his berserk abilities, his entire body enveloped in a faint red light.

At that moment, Yan, Katakuri, and Sabo quickly exchanged a glance, reaching a tacit understanding. They knew that they had to work together to defeat such a powerful enemy.

"Yan, you're in charge of keeping him at bay from the front," Katakuri said in a deep voice. "Revolutionary Army member, you attack from the flanks and disrupt his rhythm."

"Hmm." Shuo nodded perfunctorily, though he didn't particularly like Katakuri, he knew he had to cooperate now. "Understood." Sabo nodded, preparing to launch another attack.

Charged forward first, its dragon wings like blades, fiercely attacking Tikkapro Saint head-on.

Tikkaura swung his fist to meet the attack, and the ground trembled once more. At the same time, Katakuri and Sabo launched an attack from both flanks.

Katakuri's mochi transformed into countless slender whip shadows, wrapping around Tikkapuro Saint's limbs, while Sabo used the technique of Flame Dragon Claw Fist to continuously strike from his sides.
