Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Aside from Kaido of the Beasts, who is known as the "strongest creature in the sea, land and air," King the Wildfire is almost the strongest creature in the sky in the New World, and is also the head of the "Three Disasters," the highest-ranking officers of the Beasts Pirates!

Hancock, who has been constantly battling "King the Flame," has not only mastered Haki to a proficient level after half a year of relentless training, but her kicking skills have also reached an incredible height.

Meanwhile, Hancock was using a variety of domineering kicking techniques, leveraging the speed and power of her "Blackwing Demon" form to clash with "Jin the Flame".

In an instant, this battle, which could be described as the strongest kicking technique in the ocean, resounded throughout the sky.

The speed of both sides was so fast that it was dazzling, and it seemed as if countless black shadows were constantly flying and colliding in the sky.

"So strong..."

Izo, the 16th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, was observing the battlefield from afar through his binoculars, muttering to himself.

"These two guys are simply monsters, absolutely no less than Brother Marco."

"Izang, you're wrong about that..."

Thatch, the fourth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, simply put down his binoculars, abandoning the idea of ​​using them to chase after that monstrous speed, and said.

"Although Marco is also good at kicking, his nickname is 'Phoenix,' so in this kind of fight, Marco might not be their match."

After a pause, Sachi added, "Of course, as a 'Mythical Zoan type Phoenix form' ability user, in some aspects, they are far inferior to Brother Marco."

Izang took a deep breath, somewhat reluctantly gripping the rather ridiculous-looking flintlock pistol at his waist, and said, "Anyway... they really are two monsters!"

"Yes, this level of combat power would be considered monstrous even in the 'New World'."

Sachi agreed, his gaze fixed on the battle phenomenon that had almost turned into a storm above the Kingdom of Dressrosa, without any sign of frustration or inferiority on his face.

After all, Sachi believed that he had little chance of winning against this monster, but with his own strength, he was more than capable of protecting himself.

As for the so-called awe, Sachi felt nothing at all, after all, the strongest man in the world was Sachi's father, "Whitebeard" Newgate Edward!

Even the division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates was shocked by the battle between Hancock and "King the Wildfire," not to mention the other pirates who gathered in the waters near Dressrosa to watch the battle.

Is this... the strongest being in the ocean?

Countless pirates couldn't help but swallow their saliva repeatedly!

The previous battle between "Drought" Jack and "Plague" Queen, which took place on land, didn't have a significant impact on the pirates.

But as "The Wildfire" Jhin and Hancock engaged in a fierce battle in the sky, the phenomena that seemed to tear the sky apart with each kicking exchange were undeniably awe-inspiring.

For a moment, countless pirates who witnessed this scene couldn't help but feel awe, fear, and despair at this power.

But some pirates were also inspired and longed for it!

A strong person!

This is the strongest being in the ocean! One day, I will also dominate the winds and clouds on this battlefield under the spotlight and tear the sky apart!

As the battle between Hancock and "The Wildfire" Jhin intensified, the aftershocks swept across the entire Kingdom of Dressrosa like a storm, even making Yann restless.

The parasol, the fruit and drinks on the table, and even Yann's hairstyle were all swaying wildly in the wind.

"Let's go, let's go, let's find another place."

Yaen said helplessly, then told Xiao Jin to pack up their things and move to the more secluded second observation point to watch the battle in the sky.

It has to be said that even Yann was deeply shocked by Hancock's growth rate!

Unlike before, when Y'en manipulated and unleashed all the power of the "Blackwing Demon," but in reality, due to Y'en's own lack of close combat skills, he could only continuously wear it down from a distance.

Hancock can now fully utilize the "Blackwing Doom" form, unleashing the full potential of its physical power within its current limits.

Hancock is also proficient in Observation Haki, Armament Haki, kicking techniques, and more.

Genius, a true genius!

Just six months ago, Hancock was a slave who knew nothing about Haki or kicking techniques.

"Brother Yann, judging from the current situation, we are going to win," Robin said while still recording the battle situation.

“If all goes well, that’s certainly true.” Yann nodded in agreement.

Aside from Kaido, the Beasts Pirates currently only have the "Three Disasters" as truly top-tier fighters.

Currently, in the battle, Deringer is guiding the Fighting Fish Clan to temporarily hold back a large number of the Beast Pirates' fleet on the sea. The Beast Pirates in the port have also been scattered, making it difficult for them to break through the Dressrosa Kingdom's defenses again in the short term.

Corazon and Jack the Drought were locked in a complete war of attrition. It would be impossible to determine the winner until they had fought for several days and nights and exhausted each other's physical strength to a certain extent.

The battle between Hancock and "The Wildfire" Jhin was extremely fierce, but for the time being, the two sides seemed evenly matched and it was difficult to determine a winner.

The final breakthrough, however, came from "Pandemic" Quinn!

Perona's seemingly unbeatable ability was something that even Quinn's terrifying vitality and physique could withstand.

But with Moria's assistance, "Plague" Quinn is no match for him.

Now, "Plague" Quinn has begun to retreat in panic, trying to avoid the onslaught of the "negative specter".

However, Quinn's massive size as a Brachiosaurus meant that his agility was far from sufficient.

"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

Surrounded and touched by a large number of ghosts, a series of explosions rang out all over "Plague" Quinn's body, once again knocking his massive body to the ground.

Just as Moria was about to seize the shadow of "Plague" Quinn, above Hancock and "Blight" Jhin were fighting in the clouds.

Yann narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the enormous dragon-shaped shadow reflected in the clouds.

[Chapter 240. Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type, Azure Dragon Form]

Mary Geoise, between powers.

"That guy Kaido has finally decided to show up."

"Hmph, I really thought that Kaido was no longer interested in starting a war."

"Now that Kaido has appeared, things are about to get interesting."

"Three Hueco Mundo members? Besides Corazon and Blackwing Daima who attacked the Holy Land Mary Geoise, there's a new Hueco Mundo member. But if it's this level, then those so-called gods are nothing but a joke."

"That's right. If the six months specifically prepared for Hueco Mundo are only this much, then it's truly laughable."

"Now that the monster Kaido of the Beasts has appeared, it's possible that he might be able to force the Lord of Hueco Mundo to show himself."

……

Aside from the Five Elders in the Hall of Power, who were discussing the changing situation with amusement, the pirates in the waters near the Dressrosa Kingdom were almost completely silent.

What is that dragon-shaped shadow appearing above the clouds?

Although Kaido is known as the "strongest creature on land, sea and air", very few people have actually seen the true form of Kaido the Beast.

Or rather, most of those who have actually seen Kaido of the Beasts in this form have either been killed or have already been subdued.

At this moment, only a small number of truly powerful individuals standing at the pinnacle of power could remain calm as they gazed upon the terrifying dragon-shaped shadow hovering above the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

Shanks, who had just arrived in the nearby waters, subconsciously adjusted his straw hat upon seeing this and said, "Kaido of the Beasts, this guy is as outrageous as ever."

"Of course, after all, Kaido of the Beasts is someone who wants to win the title of 'Emperor of the Sea,' a true powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the era." First mate Beckman calmly commented, seemingly implying something.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Shanks laughed heartily at Beckman's metaphor. "No rush, no rush, we're not in a hurry at all. Once we find some more partners, we'll be able to claim the title of 'Emperor of the Sea' sooner or later."

……

On a naval warship, Admiral "Kizaru" Borsalino adjusted his sunglasses, his expression unchanged, but his tone was somewhat exaggerated.

"How terrifying, Kaido of the Beasts. But surely he's capable of destroying the entire Dressrosa Kingdom in an instant? After all, one of my missions is to protect the lives of Major General Yann and Colonel Gion."

"Um, Lord Kizaru, how about we try to get a little closer to the Kingdom of Dressrosa so we can react quickly?" the adjutant suggested.

"That won't do..."

Borsalino rejected the adjutant's suggestion without hesitation, saying...

"If the warship gets too close to the Dressrosa Kingdom and Kaido of the Beasts notices my presence, wouldn't he come looking for trouble?"

After a pause, Borsalino continued to ask.

"In that case, will you help me hold off that monster, Kaido of the Beasts?"

Immediately, the adjutant broke out in a cold sweat, his mouth went dry, and he dared not answer Borsalino's question.

Are you kidding me?

That was a monster whose mere shadow seemed to engulf most of the Dressrosa Kingdom. No matter how you look at it, it was not something an ordinary person could face.

……

Amidst the horrified gazes of the onlookers, above Hancock's battle with "Jin the Wildfire," a dragon's claw, a creature that truly exists only in mythology, reached out from the clouds.

"Oh!"

Below the dragon's claw, Hancock, who was originally fully engaged in the battle with "Jin the Flame," suddenly sensed something unusual approaching her using her Observation Haki and abruptly looked up at the sky.

A dragon claw was descending from the sky, heading straight for Hancock.

Hancock's dark green eyes, hidden beneath her mask, narrowed slightly. With a flick of her black wings, she blocked the kick from "Jin the Flame" and swiftly shifted her position, narrowly dodging the outstretched dragon claw.

"what?"

Hancock stared intently at the dragon claw that suddenly emerged from the clouds, her face serious, and said in surprise.

The next moment, above Hancock, the clouds churned again, and a huge head slowly emerged from the mist.

It has a four-horned head, with a pair of sharp deer antlers in the middle and a pair of curved bull horns on the sides. It also has a camel's head, a snake's neck, bull's ears, tortoise eyes, tiger whiskers, and its entire body is covered in blue scales!

At this moment, as Kaido of the Beasts truly appeared, not only were the pirates who were witnessing it for the first time completely shocked, but even Yann couldn't help but stand up abruptly.

Back in his past life, from his memories and the Navy's intelligence, Aon knew that Kaido of the Beasts was a user of the "Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Form" Devil Fruit. However, when he actually saw the Azure Dragon soaring through the sky and dominating the heavens, Aon was still filled with awe.

The romance that was hidden deep in Arn's bones and even soul was unconsciously released!

Dragon!

A true Azure Dragon of the East!

Unlike ancient dinosaurs like "King the Wildfire" and "Quinn the Plague," Kaido's form is a true mythical dragon.

With his hands braced against the window, Yann unconsciously murmured, his eyes filled with longing and excitement for the first time, "What a beautiful figure!"

In the end, all of Yann's complex emotions boiled down to one sentence: "I want to ride!"

Robin, who had also been stunned by the azure dragon before her, exclaimed in disbelief upon hearing this. "Huh?!"
