Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"boom!!!"

In just a moment, the thick dark clouds in the sky were torn apart, and the fiery heat wave swept outwards in all directions with terrifying force.

At that moment, it was as if the sky within a radius of a hundred miles had been set ablaze with flames.

"Hi~"

Countless people were stunned by this exaggerated phenomenon, and then subconsciously gasped.

"What...what is this?"

"It's terrifying; even the aftershocks have spread for hundreds of miles."

"Fortunately, it erupted in the sky. If it had occurred on land, it's unimaginable what kind of horrific destruction it would have caused."

"Perhaps, within a hundred miles, it's all scorched earth?"

……

It can be said that at this moment, not only the pirates, but even the Five Elders who were observing the situation through the Den Den Mushi in the hands of CP0 members were shocked and instinctively stood up.

This level of power was enough to completely move the Five Elders.

With its power to sweep across hundreds of miles and turn everything to scorched earth, it already belongs to a force that can truly threaten the world government.

Just like the strongest man who was feared by the World Government and possessed the power of the "Tremor-Tremor Fruit"—"Whitebeard" Edward Newgate.

It's not that Whitebeard could easily overwhelm Kaido of the Beasts in terms of pure combat strength, but rather that Whitebeard's "Tremor-Tremor Fruit" could cause irreversible and severe damage to the Red Line, thereby completely destroying the Holy Land Mary Geoise and threatening the foundation of the World Government.

And the aftershocks of this heat wave, which has now spread for hundreds of miles, are the same!

With just their naked eyes, the Five Elders determined that if this heatwave, which could spread for hundreds of miles in an instant, were to erupt near the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, it would be a major event and a catastrophe that would cause the deaths of many Celestial Dragons!

"Damn it, the power of fire... is this the Flame-Flame Fruit?"

"Impossible. No one in the history of the Flame-Flame Fruit users, even those who have awakened it, has reached such an exaggerated level."

"What kind of ability is that? If it were released near the Holy Land Mary Geoise, how many Celestial Dragons would survive?"

"Unless General Kuzan is stationed permanently in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, conventional methods are simply ineffective against this kind of heat wave that is as large as a weather phenomenon."

"It's unbelievable that there are such powerful individuals within Hueco Mundo, and that we hadn't been able to obtain any related information before."

"Perhaps Corazon's information is true, and the Lord of Hueco Mundo might really be a god... No, we can't test Hueco Mundo any further. Immediately have the nearest CP0 member contact the Beast Pirates to stop their attack on Hueco Mundo. As for the resources and benefits promised in exchange for victory, we'll just deliver on them."

……

However, at this moment, Kaido of the Beasts had no time to care about resources or benefits!

It was hot, scorching hot, and hotter than ever before!

As a Mythical Zoan type Azure Dragon form user who also wields the power of fire, and whose physique is so strong as to be beyond reason, even the Navy's execution attempts couldn't kill him, Kaido of the Beasts felt for the first time the intense heat that felt like being in a furnace.

"Roar!"

As the lingering heatwave in the sky over a hundred miles slowly dissipated, the azure dragon, now charred black and carbonized in many places, suddenly let out a roar filled with pain and rage. A huge wave of air, carrying wisps of meaty and charred smells, rushed towards Yann.

In response, Yaen remained completely calm, making no move whatsoever; even the flames on the "Flowing Blade Like Fire" sword in his hand showed no fluctuation.

However, in reality, Yann's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"Blazing Hell" was already the strongest move of "Ryujin Jakka" that Aon had mastered in his Shikai state. Unexpectedly, even though it hit Kaido of the Beasts completely, it not only failed to completely defeat Kaido of the Beasts, but also failed to intimidate Kaido of the Beasts and make him retreat on his own. Instead, it seemed to arouse Kaido of the Beasts' anger.

'This is really a difficult situation...'

Ya'en swallowed hard, realizing he was in a difficult situation.

It's important to know that "Ryujin Jakka" is different from ordinary Zanpakuto. As the strongest, oldest, and most powerful fire-type Zanpakuto, its Shikai requires ten cartloads of spiritual pressure to maintain.

As for "Bankai," which is theoretically more than ten times more powerful than Shikai...

[249.Chapter 249: Residual Fire Sword]

"Bastard, bastard, bastard..."

Kaido was no longer the domineering and unrestrained man he once was. Now, suffering unprecedented injuries, he was like a wild beast that had been completely enraged, roaring uncontrollably at Yann.

However, perhaps out of fear of the ever-burning flames in Arn's hands, Kaido, who was constantly roaring, did not dare to make a move for the time being, but stared at Arn with extremely fierce and violent eyes.

As Arn's gaze slowly moved, he also noticed that Kaido's magnificent and enormous dragon body was being continuously repaired by its immense life force, with tiny pink buds growing to replace its original charred body.

'Kaido, too, is afraid...'

After a few breaths, Yann, who still hadn't seen Kaido make a move, realized this fact.

However, Yann also understood that anger dominated Kaido's emotions more than fear.

Therefore, Kaido is now considering stalling for time, waiting for his body to heal before making his move.

At this moment, Yann was like an ordinary person being stared at by a venomous snake, not daring to even swallow his saliva, for fear that any extra movement of his would provoke Kaido's full-force counterattack.

Yann knew very well that he was just like a mage.

Theoretically speaking, if Aon were to unleash the full power of "Ryujin Jakka," he would have a chance to overwhelm Kaido.

However, without anyone to stop Kaido's attack, it's likely that Aon will be torn to shreds by Kaido before he even wears him down.

No one knew better than Bian that he was essentially teetering on a tightrope of life and death, at any moment in danger of being swallowed up by the dragon below.

Seeing that half of Kaido's charred body had faded, Yan knew he had to make a decision.

'Never mind, I'll give it my all. Hopefully, I can scare Kaido, otherwise I'll have to run for my life...'

The next moment, Yann gently twirled the "Flowing Blade Like Fire" burning fiercely in his hands, then clenched his hands tightly in front of his chest.

Yann's action caused Kaido to instinctively take a step back.

"Ah……"

A contemptuous laugh escaped Yaen's lips, followed by a deep, aged voice saying, "Little reptile, is this all you've got? You're far too weak!"

? !

Kaido.

"Have you ever seen how high the sky is? Do you understand how deep the sea is?"

Yaen spoke in a gentle tone, then his tone suddenly became serious as he said, "Do you know the power to burn the sky and evaporate the sea?"

"If not, then just open your eyes wide and don't blink..."

Immediately, Yann took a deep breath, mobilizing all his spiritual pressure without reservation, and slowly recited the words one by one.

"Swastika·Zan...fire...tai...sword..."

In an instant, Kaido sensed that everything had changed, and his dragon eyes widened as he stared intently at the Zanpakuto held in Yann's hand.

The heat... is rising infinitely!

Almost instantly, Kaido felt even his breath become unbearably hot, making it difficult to swallow, as if he were surrounded by a sea of ​​flames.

Clearly, at this moment, the knife did not even produce flames again.

"Zizzizi..."

Hearing the piercing sound, Kaido subconsciously glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly discovered that his newly grown fleshy buds were rapidly turning charred, just like roasted meat.

'Wh...what...'

Kaido stared at the scene in disbelief.

'Isn't that enough?'

At this moment, Aon, who was constantly squeezing out all his spiritual pressure to barely maintain the "Broken Blade", didn't even have the extra energy to observe Kaido's extremely horrified expression. He only understood that Kaido had not retreated yet, and that he had not intimidated Kaido.

For this reason, Yann gritted his teeth.

"Broken Blade - East - Rising Sun Blade!"

Theoretically speaking, this is the secret to compressing the Zankatana's temperature of up to 1500 million degrees Celsius within the blade, without burning or releasing explosive flames, thus erasing everything that touches the Zankatana.

However, in his current state, Aon has absolutely no control over the Zankatana, and almost all of his spiritual pressure is already at its limit in maintaining the "Bankai".

and so……

"boom!!!"

In an instant, endless flames erupted from the Broken Flame Katana, forming a terrifying fireball the size of an island almost immediately.

retreat!

Almost instinctively, Kaido retreated like a madman!

However, no matter how fast Kaido reacted, he was still half a step too slow.

It was this half-step that caused one of his dragon claws to be touched by the fireballs that were spreading wildly in all directions.

There was no sound, no feeling...

After Kaido had traveled more than ten miles away in the blink of an eye, he inadvertently noticed out of the corner of his eye that his left arm had completely disappeared, as if it had turned to ashes at some unknown time.

"What terrifying temperature and flames!!"

Kaido's horror reached an extreme.

Ten thousand degrees?

Or is it 20,000 degrees?

Even for Kaido, whose physique is strong enough to bathe in lava, this temperature and flames were far beyond his imagination.

However, it wasn't just Kaido who was horrified. The pirates dozens of miles away on the sea off Yann were also wondering about the fireball that appeared in mid-air and the sudden and violent rise in temperature.

The ship... is on fire!

It wasn't just one ship, and it wasn't arson by anyone!

Instead, they spontaneously combusted, and almost all the surrounding ships caught fire.

"Fire! Help! Fire!"

"It's so hot, it's so uncomfortable..."

"Quick, get away from that fireball! It's not something we can get close to. Ignore the flames."

"No, the sails are all on fire."

"Idiots, oars! Everyone, get moving and row for me..."
