Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"To be able to ride on the back of a real dragon like this, that's true romance for a man!"

Yaen added with a mix of admiration and anticipation, “Dragon knights! Riding astride a blue dragon, soaring across the seas, overlooking all things—perhaps becoming such a dragon knight should be the ultimate pursuit for a man.”

Of course, Yann knew how far-fetched this idea was.

Kaido of the Beasts is one of the strongest beings who truly stands at the pinnacle of his era. His imposing physique, now transformed into a blue dragon, is enough to intimidate countless humans.

More precisely, the first problem that Yann needs to face now is how to deal with the emerging Kaido of the Beasts!

"This is really troublesome. If Kaido of the Beasts had appeared from the beginning, I wouldn't have chosen to confront the Beasts Pirates head-on like this."

"Why did Kaido show up halfway through? In that case, we can only try Plan B. Hopefully, Kaido's strength isn't too exaggerated."

Ya'en murmured to himself, then lay back down on the sun chair that Xiao Jin had prepared and slowly closed his eyes.

[Chapter 241. Heat Breath!]

At this moment, the battlefield of Dressrosa Kingdom suddenly fell silent with the appearance of Kaido the Beasts.

Whether it's the Don Quixote Family executives, the Dressrosa Kingdom soldiers, or even the fighting fish excitedly and frantically ramming the pirate ship in the sea.

Under the oppressive aura of Kaido, who had transformed into a blue dragon and was hovering above the clouds, they were almost instinctively frozen, not daring to move at all.

As for the Beasts Pirates, they couldn't help but cheer at the imposing appearance of Kaido the Beasts.

At this moment, it seemed as if the war had already been completely decided with the appearance of Kaido of the Beasts.

Only one person couldn't help but roar madly when Kaido appeared.

"Kai! Do!"

Moria's eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, whether from anger or terror.

"You finally showed up!"

Moria raised his hand high, and as the shadow coalesced, it transformed into a shadow spear more than ten meters long in his palm, which he then hurled at Kaido.

"Shadow Spear!"

"Whoosh!"

This shot, almost like lightning, shot into the sky and aimed straight at the Azure Dragon's jaw, with the momentum of piercing through the Azure Dragon's head.

However, the dragon claw slightly raised and flicked its finger.

"Ding!"

When the Shadow Spear collided with the dragon claw's nail, it created a dazzling display of fire and lightning. However, until the Shadow Spear dissipated, it not only failed to pierce the dragon claw, but it also did not even cause the slightest damage to Kaido's nail.

Immediately, the Azure Dragon lowered its head slightly, shifting its gaze from Hancock to Moria, who was below with an angry expression.

"Hmm? Moria? You're still alive?" The Azure Dragon opened its mouth slightly, and a voice that shook the four directions rang out.

"Kaido, I will not die until I kill you, you bastard, and avenge my comrades!" Moria said angrily, his blood-red eyes seeming to want to devour Kaido alive.

"What? Moria, you still haven't shaken your habit of exaggerating?"

Azure Dragon's tone was full of disdain and arrogance as he said, "Since that's the case, then I'll just finish you off right here."

Immediately, the blue dragon raised its head slightly, and a crimson liquid surged from its throat, rapidly condensing and compressing.

Immediately, the pirates of the Beasts Pirates below were horrified by the Azure Dragon's actions and fled almost frantically toward the pirate ship docked at the edge of the harbor, screaming and shouting.

"Kaido... Boss Kaido..."

"Quick...run! Boss Kaido is using 'Heat Breath'!"

"Wait a minute, Boss Kaido!"

……

Even Queen the Plague and Jack the Drought rushed to run away as fast as they could, trying to get as far away from Moria as possible, so as not to be affected by this attack.

As members of the Beasts Pirates, they knew all too well how terrifying Kaido's "heat breath" was when he was in his Azure Dragon form.

In just a moment, this move was enough to evaporate an entire mountain!

Compared to the experienced Beasts Pirates, the Donquixote Family executives and members, as well as the Dressrosa Kingdom soldiers, reacted relatively slowly.

When that terrifying burst of heat and flame erupted from the Azure Dragon's mouth, rushing towards the port below like a waterfall of fire falling from the sky, it was too late to escape.

"Heat Breath!"

"Boom!!!"

As that fiery red streak plummeted from the sky toward the port, the heavens and the sea were stained with that intense, destructive red.

"Oops!"

Corazon, whose battle with "Drought" Jack was forced to stop, saw this scene and understood what was going on.

If this attack hits the port, then the entire port and 99 percent of the lives on it may be wiped out.

The next moment, Corazon appeared beside Moria in a flash, almost without the slightest hesitation.

Corazon's four scythes crossed at a single point, and a small yellow sphere of light quickly condensed.

During his six months of grueling training, Corazon may not have been able to fully unleash the full power of "Mantis," but he has managed to barely master the "Cero" move.

Just as that terrifying heatwave was about to rapidly approach the port, the small yellow sphere also emitted a wave of light that shot upwards.

"Phantom... Flash!"

"boom!"

The collision of the scorching heat and the yellow color instantly generated a terrifying shockwave that erupted in all directions, causing the sea to churn.

However, compared to Kaido's "Heat Breath" released in his "Azure Dragon Form," Corazon's "Cero" only blocked it for a moment before being forced by the "Heat Breath" to continue its downward trajectory toward the port.

"It's over!"

While Corazon felt immense pressure, he also felt a chill in his heart.

At that very moment, a dark shadow swept past Corazon, black wings sweeping across the sky, appearing above the port.

At this moment, Hancock once again entered the final release state of "Blackwing Demon," and she became like a legendary demon, gripping "Thunder Spear" tightly as she charged towards "Heat Breath."

One throw!

The full power of the "Thunder Spear" erupted, turning the port into a dark green!

"boom!"

An unprecedented explosion occurred over the port, and a terrifying storm swept in all directions, even destroying most of the buildings above the port.

However... they managed to block the "heat breath" after all!

As the smoke and dust in the harbor slowly dissipated, Don Quixote Family executives and Dressrosa soldiers coughed as they stood up from the ruins.

Although they looked disheveled and were all injured by the aftershocks, almost all of them survived thanks to the unusually strong physiques of people living on this vast sea.

"Withdraw! Leave the port!"

A cold voice, seemingly a mixture of two different tones, came from Hancock's mouth.

This is why Arn is currently in Hancock's consciousness space, and Arn is acting as the consciousness of the "Blackwing Demon," unleashing all of the "Blackwing Demon's" instinctive powers.

This allows Hancock to temporarily use all of the Blackwing Demon's power while also suppressing her instincts' control over her body to a certain extent, allowing Hancock to continue to maintain the initiative!

This... is precisely one of the key trump cards that Yaon has prepared!

Then Yann unleashed all the power of the "Blackwing Demon," and Hancock took control of the body to unleash its formidable combat power!

[Chapter 242 Recruitment and Provocation]

"Quickly, get out of there!"

Corazon, equally shaken, noticed that some of the Don Quixote Family executives and Dressrosa soldiers were still in a daze. He quickly repeated Hancock's orders and said...

"The next battle is no longer something you can participate in. Withdraw."

Immediately, the Don Quixote Family executives and Dressrosa soldiers, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly helped rescue their companions and evacuated towards the port.

Kaido, perched high in the clouds, paid no attention to the departure of those ants. Instead, his pupils narrowed, and he focused his gaze on Hancock.

"A demon? A mythical beast?"

Kaido's tone revealed great interest.

As a powerful figure who reveres violence and respects the strong, Kaido has already acknowledged Hancock's strength based on that attack just now!

Just now, when Hancock directly withstood the attack of "Heat Breath", Kaido had already judged that Hancock's strength was definitely above that of his most capable subordinate, "King the Wildfire".

More importantly, Hancock appears to be a Devil Fruit user with a Mythical Zoan type Devil Fruit ability, which is nothing short of a treasure for Kaido, who particularly favors Zoan-type Devil Fruit users.

No, it's not just that demon; the mantis with the unknown Devil Fruit name is also quite powerful and would easily be among the "Three Disasters."

The next moment, the Azure Dragon turned and spiraled rapidly downwards, reverting to its human form about fifty meters away from Corazon, Hancock, and Moria.

He had long, black hair, a pair of bull-horn-like horns, and a long beard like a dragon's whiskers. The dragon scale tattoo on his left arm was conspicuous. His upper body was naked, and there was a particularly eye-catching X-shaped scar on his right abdomen. His tall and burly figure exuded a strong sense of oppression and power at all times.

This is Kaido of the Beasts!

Seeing this, King the Wildfire, Queen the Plague, Jack the Drought, and some Zoan-type Devil Fruit users also gathered behind Kaido.

However, seeing the "Three Disasters" approaching, Kaido questioned them with some dissatisfaction. "I say, you bunch of bastards, while I was drunk, you secretly abandoned me and launched a war."

"Boss Kaido, this isn't our fault. Today is the date of the war that was decided half a year ago. We Beasts Pirates can't be late, otherwise people will say we're cowards. How can that be?"

"The Plague," Queen explained. "Besides, it's just a small kingdom like Dressrosa. It can't withstand your meddling, Boss Kaido. Just leave it to us."

"Ah……"

Upon hearing this, "Jin the Flame" couldn't help but sneer, "Just now, someone was almost killed by Moria."

“Nonsense, I was just pretending to be dead, preparing to retaliate and kill Moria,” Quinn the Plague defended without hesitation.

“That’s not what you said when you asked me for help…”

……

Compared to the habitual bickering between "Wildfire" King and "Plague" Queen, "Drought" Jack was much more obedient in front of Kaido, only speaking with lingering fear.

"Boss Kaido, your attack just now almost hit me too."

"Lulu lulu~"

Kaido let out his distinctive laugh and then said, "How could that be? I believe you, Jack, are not so easily defeated."
