Konoha's Mission Master

Shortly after the others left, Reed bid farewell to Dragon, boarded a Revolutionary Army transport ship at the port, and left the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

This is a journey to the headquarters of the Conviction Organization. After all, Reed is the Conviction Organization's sharpest weapon and cannot be away from the organization's base for an extended period.

At this moment, Yakumo was using a positioning device to track Kaido's trail across the vast ocean until a huge multi-masted sailing ship and the Beasts Pirates' insignia appeared at the edge of his vision.

That is Yakumo's goal for this trip!

Chapter 368 Proof of Hegemony: A Crushing Battle

Above the clouds.

On the deck of the dark green flying boat, the three were ready for battle. Yakumo sensed the situation of the pirate ships on the sea and found that there were less than ten people on the Beast Pirates.

Clearly, the trip to Wano Country resulted in heavy losses for the pirate crew.

At this moment, Kaido was sitting upright on the deck, his half-naked upper body wrapped in a lot of bandages.

A huge gourd of wine was placed next to him, and he would occasionally pick it up and take a few sips, his eyes filled with hot tears streaming down his face.

His experiences a few days ago severely affected his kingly will, and even his Conqueror's Haki was not as strong as before.

"Waaaaah, I'm so miserable."

"My brothers were almost all dead, and then they were defeated by the Straw Hat Boy."

"Disgraceful!"

Kaido became increasingly heartbroken as he drank, and couldn't help but recall his past glory of conquering the world.

Unexpectedly... in just four short years, so many monsters have emerged on the sea.

Thousand-Faced Demon Emperor - Jing Yakumo...

Kaido would grit his teeth in hatred whenever he thought of that name. If he hadn't suddenly risen to power and killed Big Mom, the New World wouldn't be in such chaos today. Suddenly, he thought of Jack, who died at the hands of Yakumo.

Of the three calamities, Jack was his favorite, but unfortunately...

Kaido was even more sorrowful and suddenly gulped down a large mouthful of wine.

King and Queen were also severely injured. If Kaido hadn't intervened at the crucial moment, there probably wouldn't be the Three Disasters now.

There was a hint of dejection on their faces. This defeat had nearly wiped out the Beasts Pirates, and from then on... there was no longer any possibility of conquering the seas. Their only option was to preserve Onigashima as much as possible and accumulate strength.

For some unknown reason, it was as if an invisible hand had orchestrated the destruction of the Beasts Pirates.

At this moment, the deck of the dark green airship.

Yakumo has already drawn his weapon and begun to stack his own buffs. Kaido is currently severely injured.

Logically speaking... Yakumo has a 100% chance of winning, but it's always good to be well-prepared before the battle.

"Sage Mode, activated!"

"Mark of Prayer, open!"

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Blood Soul Armor".

Crimson vines grew rapidly on Yakumo's body, like a warrior donning armor, and were completed in an instant.

This time, Yakumo reduced the thickness of his armor, sacrificing some defense in exchange for greater speed.

"You all stay here and refine natural energy, I'll go down first."

After speaking, Yakumo jumped off the dark green flying boat, transforming into a golden light and shadow in mid-air as he landed on the huge three-masted sailing ship on the sea, making no attempt to conceal his aura.

In Yakumo's eyes, there were three huge red dots on the ship.

That is an immense sin that needs to be eradicated as soon as possible.

"drink!"

Kaido continued to gulp down his wine, completely unaware of the danger descending from the sky. However, King immediately sensed the deadly danger, rose from the deck, and quickly entered battle mode.

"Enemies!"

Jin immediately let out a roar, and wings with wing membranes sprouted from his back, quickly unfolding with a wingspan of about five meters and sharp bone spikes at the tips.

He flew into the sky at an extremely fast speed, even though... he thought that the Navy did not intend to let the Beasts Pirates go and pursue them.

He also believed that he would have the strength to fight.

"Lord Kaido... there's an enemy!"

Quinn's body was like a massive mountain of flesh, his muscles looked bloated, yet he possessed a powerful and oppressive presence.

"Where are the enemies? Are they the navy?"

Kaido stood up drunkenly, his muscles bulging rapidly, and all the bandages around his body snapped off, revealing his burly upper body and a ferocious dragon tattoo.

"We don't know who the enemy is yet, but Jhin has already gone to meet them."

"No rush, no rush, I'll have another drink!"

Kaido picked up the gourd at his waist and took a big gulp.

At this moment, Quinn had reached an altitude of several thousand meters in the sky, and he saw the enemy, a god-like phantom hidden inside the golden light. He was extremely familiar with the appearance of that person.

"It's you... Jing Yakumo?"

Jin was terrified and almost instantly descended. He was injured and could only be held back by an ordinary general.

But he didn't even have the courage to fight the person in front of him.

"What a coincidence, a surprise delivered right to my door."

Yakumo mobilized his soul energy to cover his body, transforming it into the power that propelled his flight ability. As his soul energy was consumed, his speed suddenly doubled.

With a flash of golden light, it arrived in front of Jin, its weapon mercilessly slashing down on his head, leaving a tangible afterimage in the air.

Yakumo took the opportunity to scatter countless tree seeds around him.

Jin immediately plummeted downwards, pushing his speed to the limit. He had originally wanted to vent his frustration through battle, but now all he felt was terror.

He knew full well that the Thousand-Faced Demon Emperor was not someone he could defeat by force.

"Being able to fly is nice, but unfortunately it's too slow."

Golden light flashed as Yakumo caught up with Jin again. The sky was filled with golden phantoms, and the blades descended swiftly like shadows, carrying immense energy pressure.

"Emperor Yan".

Ember spun around rapidly in mid-air, throwing out a giant fireball while simultaneously using the recoil to plummet downwards.

Yakumo continued to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to shift his position, and changed direction during the teleportation to rush towards Jin.

"Extreme Blade Slash".

Jhin drew his weapon in mid-air and immediately charged up.

"Guardian - Fire Dragon Emperor"

A crimson dragon was flung out from the blade, its enormous size evaporating the surrounding water and creating a massive amount of pale white steam that shrouded the two figures.

Yakumo directly swung his sword and annihilated the giant fire dragon, which turned into countless fiery lotuses that scattered in all directions. Jin used the reaction force to widen the distance between himself and Yakumo again.

"Soul Imprisonment, Soul Control!"

The soul energy spread out, suppressing everything around it, quickly catching up with Jin and completely suppressing his flight speed, even suppressing the flames burning around his body.

The invisible, transparent crystal also swiftly attacked Jin's body.

"What kind of power is this?"

King was shocked and had a premonition of his death. He only asked to pass on the enemy's message to Lord Kaido before he was killed.

"Guardian - Fire Dragon Emperor!"

Knowing his death was imminent, King channeled his Armament Haki and all the flames within him into his weapon, a Great Grade Sword, which was already showing faint cracks.

The fire dragon roared, venting its master's anger. Being repeatedly chased by Yakumo had also ignited the rage in its heart, and this attack had exceeded its own limits.

The giant dragon, several thousand meters long, flew towards Yakumo. In fact, even the most powerful attack needs to hit its target to be effective.

A flash of golden light, and Yakumo instantly adjusted his position.

The crystal formed by the Soul has been implanted into Jin's body. Through the connection with the crystal, Yakumo instantly teleported, appearing one foot behind Jin.

Yakumo plunged the Fuma stab into Jin's heart. Various energies rushed into his body along the blade, destroying all his internal organs. As Yakumo continued his attack, Jin gradually lost his breath, and his eyes became very dim.

But Yakumo didn't stop. Instead, he increased his energy output. He discovered that Jin was not dead. He still had some vitality, which was growing in his brain and maintaining his mental activity.

This is truly monstrous vitality.

Yakumo manipulated soul energy to attack Jin's mind, destroying his soul or will in a total of three seconds.

Flame of Ash, death.

The black and white chains spread out, and Yakumo compressed Jin's corpse into a small black and white ball, making it easier to extract the Devil Fruit later.

With a flash of golden light, Yakumo appeared on the deck of the sailboat.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

Kaido has entered the Devil Fruit's human-beast form, with dense dragon scales growing on his upper body and the dragon-shaped tattoos on his body looking lifelike.

His arms grew even thicker, and a massive thunder dragon coiled around his spiked club as it struck Yakumo's head.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, like a huge barrier, slowly pressing down, with bright purple arcs of electricity moving among the clouds.

The fire dragon in the distance let out a mournful cry, then exploded in an instant, turning into countless sparks that dyed the entire sky red and slowly fell in all directions. Those were the last traces left by the ashes in the world.

Kaido was now mostly sober, his eyes bloodshot and filled with rage. Without exchanging any pleasantries with Yakumo, he launched an attack.

The two were mortal enemies, destined to fight to the death whenever they met.

Everyone present knew the reason why Yakumo had come.

"Shh."

Golden light flashed as Yakumo flashed past Kaido's Thunder Bagua.

"Damn it, don't hide!"
