The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

"Ok?"

Shiki, who missed his target, and Nasujuro, who saw the lightning bolt coming, both exclaimed in confusion.

The next instant, Purple Lightning appeared in front of Nassuro Sei, who was in the form of a horse skeleton, and transformed into the shape of John throwing a punch, which slammed heavily onto the huge skeletal horse body.

thud

Like the drum of heaven and earth being pierced, a terrifying shockwave exploded, and Nasshouro's entire skeletal horse body was twisted and deformed by this punch.

The skeleton's body burst forth with large swathes of blue ice flames, which, after being compressed to their limit, were launched outwards, flying horizontally across the top of Tengshan Mountain and carving out a long ravine.

That wasn't all. After flying over the mountaintop, the skeletal horse bone created a sonic boom cloud in the air, continued to travel at high speed for more than ten kilometers, and disappeared into the densely packed buildings of the Flower Capital.

"Gah!"

Such a shocking scene made Squier let out a quack, unable to believe that John had become so terrifying in just a few short years.

Not only Shiki, but this commotion also attracted the attention of the other four stars, Roger, Garp, Linlin, and Kaido, and even their battles stopped.

"That guy has gotten stronger again!" Garp gritted his teeth, his gaze filled with unspeakable complexity.

The remaining four stars looked solemn, unable to understand why John, whose leg had been cut off by Lord Im, could still appear in Wano Country as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of monster is this?!"

Roger exclaimed in surprise. Although he could also cleave an enemy that far with a single strike, it was only possible if the opponent was clearly weaker than him.

After such a long and chaotic battle, he had witnessed how troublesome the Five Elders were, far surpassing the Knights of God.

Even when he used his strongest Conqueror's Haki to entwine the Five Elders, it only slightly suppressed their recovery speed. It was completely different from how he could kill them with Conqueror's Haki as he had with the Knights of God.

It was extremely difficult to fight them, let alone send the Five Elders flying so far with just one blow.

"I never expected there to be such creatures on the high seas! This is truly exhilarating!"

Chapter 182 Give Me Face

"Is there some other secret to becoming stronger quickly?"

The thousand-meter-long azure dragon transformed into human form, and Kaido, carrying his spiked club, abandoned Itsumade, who was in the middle of a fight, and ran wildly in the direction of John.

He didn't care about any ancient weapon, "Pluto," as long as he could become stronger!

"Hey, Kaido! Stop right there! John is the one I've set my sights on!"

Lingling thought Kaido was going to snatch her first, so she immediately ignored her formidable enemy, Feng, and chased after him.

She made up her mind to bring John under her wing!

In her utopian kingdom ideal, people are always more valuable than weapons, and if John were her first mate, her dream could be realized!

Approaching, Shiki watched John slowly retract his fist, swallowed hard, and said with a fierce but inwardly stern tone:

"John, you bastard, weren't you going to fight me? Why did you suddenly run off to ambush someone else? Are you looking down on me?!"

"I'm not afraid of you at all!"

"fool."

John turned back and smiled, giving Schip a meaningful look.

"I wouldn't bear to hit you! Shiki, you will definitely become my right-hand man. Even if you don't want to now, there will come a day when you come to me on your own."

"I look forward to it!"

He wasn't going to use his fists to subdue these "prospective partners," but rather to wait until they bowed down to the harsh reality.

When these unruly and self-centered individuals are slapped in the face by reality and shed their arrogance, they will sincerely throw themselves into his arms.

"Damn it, what are you talking about to yourself!"

John's unusually confident words made Squier feel inexplicably uneasy, as if he had already foreseen a disastrous defeat.

But how could he accept all of this? Arrogant as he was, he would never easily submit.

"John! If you keep spouting nonsense, don't blame me for actually hitting you!"

John, too lazy to bother with Shiki's futile struggles, floated into the air and rose into the sky, standing beneath the rolling thunderclouds.

Then, the sound, like thunder, resounded throughout the entire Tengshan Mountain.

"Everyone, give me John some face and go home. I'll take the ancient weapon 'Pluto'."

"Impossible! 'Pluto' must be destroyed! Such a thing should not exist in this world!"

"'Pluto' belongs to the World Government!"

"Sure, but there's one condition..."

Amidst Garp and Roger's attempts to destroy Hades and the Five Elders' desire to seize control of Hades, a very strange voice emerged.

John looked in the direction of the sound and saw Kaido carrying a spiked club and looking excited.

"What are the conditions? Tell me."

"I want to be with you!" Kaido said directly, stating what he truly wanted to say.

From beginning to end, Kaido's core objective was to actively instigate the "world's greatest war" in order to overthrow the old order of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

The motivation stems from an obsession with "death," a desire for the strong, and an ambition to inherit the will of Lox.

Now that a John has appeared who rivals or even surpasses Rocks, Kaido naturally chooses to join without hesitation.

"can."

John nodded slightly, agreeing to Kaido's request.

Next, he turned his gaze to Garp, Roger, and the Five Elders, who had refused.

"Since you disagree, then come at me all at once, and I will be your opponent."

"Insanity!"

In the air, Itsumade, with its colorful wings flapping, snorted coldly. Its long, sharp beak, covered with fangs, opened and closed, and intense flames gathered within it.

Immediately afterwards, a pillar of fire, as solid as magma, shot out from the long, pointed beak, illuminating the night sky and tearing a long crimson streak through the atmosphere as it hurtled toward John.

As the thick pillar of fire approached, John remained suspended in the air, motionless, neither dodging nor retaliating.

They were left to be engulfed by the pillar of fire.

The atmosphere was scorched, and the temperature in the Fujiyama area rose rapidly. Roger, Garp, the Five Elders, and others stared intently at the sky.

After a while, as the towering pillar of fire disappeared and the night returned to darkness, a humanoid figure formed from lightning appeared in everyone's eyes.

Visibly, flesh and blood appeared on the lightning, quickly revealing John's appearance.

Unscathed!

"Idiot, I'm a Logia-type user!"

"A mere mythical beast dares to act so arrogantly?"

John suddenly raised his hand, pointing his index finger at Itsumade, who was soaring to the left, with a faint arc of light blue light shooting from his fingertip.

"Sunset Glow!"

As the pale blue light arc enveloped her, Itsumade immediately felt a surge of energy explode within her body. Her colorful feathers suddenly began to fall off in large numbers, and her skin grew one after another dense blood tumors, making her look bloated and terrifying.

"What...what's wrong with me?!"

Without its feathers, Itsumade was immediately unable to fly. It spiraled out of control and plummeted to the top of Mount Shindo, kicking up a cloud of dust.

This scene caused everyone else present to frown, unable to figure out the reason, and filled with apprehension.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Maz, now in human form, struggled to climb out of the giant pit. His once noble white hair and beard had all fallen out, leaving only a bald head covered with disgusting blood tumors.

"Ugh!"

With that movement, Mazsan couldn't help but open his mouth wide and spit out a mouthful of pale yellowish-red blood.

Upon seeing this, a strange look flashed in John's eyes, the instigator of the whole thing.

His method involves ionizing radiation, which is not the same as nuclear radiation, but they are related by inclusion. All nuclear radiation belongs to ionizing radiation, but ionizing radiation does not necessarily originate from the atomic nucleus.

Simply put, in that instant, Mazsan's entire genetic sequence was bombarded by radiation.

Unfortunately, when faced with the attack, Massaint couldn't even use Armament Haki for defense, relying entirely on his immortality to withstand the attack.

However, even if Massaint uses Armament Haki to defend, he might not be able to stop it.

After all, even Ryuo can penetrate Armament Haki, let alone the even more pervasive radiation.

Rumble

Just as everyone was trying to analyze the attack that Mazsan had suffered, a sudden clap of thunder filled the air, and John transformed into lightning and rushed towards them.

As lightning flashed, John suddenly appeared in front of Karp, already in a leg-raising stance.

By the time Garp realized it, the lightning, imbued with Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, had already struck his left side.

A crisp "crack" sounded as Garp was kicked and bent over by the immense force, then flew out in a cloud of sonic booms.

Rumble

Thunder rumbled and lightning once again ripped through the night, appearing at the entrance to the secret passage deep in the mountaintop.

John appeared between Rayleigh and Sengoku, who were fighting. He kicked Rayleigh in the lower abdomen with his left leg, then spun around and switched legs, swinging his right whip kick at Sengoku's side.

In an instant, the two flew off in different directions, leaving a trail of blood in the air.

"Rayle! Damn it!"

This scene made Roger's eyes widen in horror, and he kept turning his pupils to search for John's whereabouts.

"How dare you harm my comrade, John!!! Come and fight me!"

Chapter 183 Divine Descent!

At the summit of Tengshan Mountain, thunderclouds hung low.

Charred and broken wood was scattered all over the ground, and the entire area was filled with crackling static electricity.

John's body suddenly dissolved into a torrent of silver-purple lightning, leaving no physical outline. It transformed into a shapeless torrent of thunder and vanished from the spot in an instant.
