The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

Within this space where all light had been swallowed up, a brilliant golden light suddenly shone forth, and the Warring States figure rose from the ground, transforming into a giant golden Buddha.

Accompanied by chanting, rings of pale golden light expanded from the surface of the golden Buddha, reaching the sky.

Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Buddha form!

thud

The golden Buddha raised his hand and clapped his hands, the bell tolled loudly, and a terrifying shockwave burst forth, colliding with the dark purple beam of light that shot through the air.

As the two collide, the greatest sound is silenced.

Only dark purple and pale gold remained in the world, colliding and vying with each other. The surrounding ruins were all blown into the sky, and even the sea in the distance was affected, stirring up huge waves.

"What kind of power is this?"

After the two forces were exhausted and dissipated, Sengoku frowned and looked solemnly at the figure that floated out from the mangrove.

As the rarest Mythical Zoan type Devil Fruit user, there are very few on this ocean who can fight him head-on with just their Devil Fruit abilities.

The opponent's power does not exist among the currently living strong individuals.

This guy just appeared out of nowhere!

With a sickening metallic scraping sound, the armored knight's head, which had been smashed flat by a fist, began to writhe strangely and visibly returned to normal.

It was as if he had never been hurt.

"Hey, you coward hiding your head and tail, state your name!"

Faced with the questioning, the armored knight remained silent. His figure, which was suspended in the air, suddenly accelerated and transformed into a cannonball, crashing straight towards Sengoku.

The doubt in Zhan Guo's eyes deepened. He transformed his palm into a fist, which was wrapped with dark red lightning, and swung it at the incoming cannonball.

Buzz

The eerie high-frequency rumbling vibrations rang out again, and the rapidly flying black shadow suddenly shifted sideways in the air, dodging the fist while kicking the giant golden Buddha in the face.

Sengoku's head tilted to the side after being kicked, and black Armament Haki appeared on his cheek. He took the kick without a scratch.

"You don't even know Armament Haki?"

The doubt in Zhan Guo's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a look of understanding.

In his Observation Haki, the other party had no life force whatsoever; it was merely a lifeless object.

Furthermore, since the opponent doesn't use the domineering aura that only living beings can possess, then we can be certain.

From beginning to end, this was just a puppet being controlled by others!

Next, Sengoku did not retaliate. Instead, he covered his entire body with Armament Haki to withstand the armored knight's frenzied attacks, his pupils darting around, searching for the figure behind the scenes.

But whether you look with your naked eye or sense it with your Observation Haki, the only other life forms present besides himself are Huang and that marine.

There was no one else!

"Sneaking around like that, afraid to show your true face!"

Zhan Guo's expression darkened.

Based on the current behavior of this person, he is a more dangerous individual than Wald.

Knows how to conceal one's identity, has unclear motives, possesses immense destructive power, and dares to attack Celestial Dragons...

If such a guy keeps secretly hunting down Celestial Dragons, the Celestial Dragons will never be able to leave the Holy Land!

Even if a trap is set, it probably won't lure out the real person.

Buzz

Just as Sengoku was analyzing, the atmosphere began to vibrate at a high frequency again, and then he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his left cheek, which he was defending with Armament Haki.

"Ugh!"

A molar, accompanied by fresh blood, flew out of the mouth of the Warring States period.

Sengoku's pupils darted around as he stared in disbelief at the armored puppet cleaving its fist in front of him.

How did the opponent break through his Armament Haki defense and injure his body?

at the same time

John, who was standing in the corner silently smoking and using Observation Haki to conceal the energy fluctuations around him, raised an eyebrow.

That punch was delivered when he controlled the puppet to use a "strong magnetic pulse," which actually penetrated the Armament Haki defense and struck Sengoku's body directly.

In other words, the power of Devil Fruits can rival Haki, but the relative strength depends on the "quantity".

In short, discussing toxicity without considering dosage is utter nonsense.

Drinking three liters of water in a short period of time can cause water intoxication in an average person.

Dosage is the most important factor!

"You coward, still too scared to come out!"

At that moment, Sengoku roared and grabbed the armored knight with his huge left hand, which was wrapped in Conqueror's Haki.

"In that case, I will take your puppet back to Marine Headquarters."

He speculated that it was either a puppet controlled by a Devil Fruit or a product of ancient technology—a war machine.

If it's the latter, then it's definitely worth studying!

Just as Sengoku pretended to turn around, intending to leave with the puppet to lure the mastermind out, his left palm suddenly felt a heat.

Looking down, I watched helplessly as the armored knight turned crimson, then turned into drops of molten iron that dripped onto the ground.

Finally, it seeped down along the uneven ground and disappeared completely.

"This……"

Sengoku opened his mouth awkwardly, his face gradually turning red.

He felt humiliated and that the other person was mocking him!

"General of the Warring States Period, are you alright?"

John stepped forward at the opportune moment, looking at Sengoku, who was much taller than him, with a half-smile, and blinked his eyes with concern.

Zhan Guo raised his hand to adjust his round-framed glasses, his figure gradually shrinking back to normal size. He cleared his throat with a cough and pretended nothing had happened.

"Yes, you did a great job. I will report this to Marshal Kong and award you credit."

"General, are you really alright?"

John kept bringing up topics he didn't want to discuss, refusing to let go.

Sengoku glared at John with displeasure, then ignored the approaching Phoenix and stormed off.

John and Phoenix were left looking at each other in bewilderment. The latter then snorted coldly and stormed off.

"Hey! The clothes I bought are at the amusement park, do you still want them?"

Huang seemed completely oblivious, showing no intention of paying any attention.

John felt helpless in the face of Huang's sudden change to indifference, but he couldn't explain it.

I didn't want to chase after him to coax him.

Island No. 22, inside the SVIP ward of the hospital.

"Ouch! It hurts so much! You're all useless! Useless!"

Wrapped up like a mummy, Jonathan Saint writhed and roared on his sickbed, the words carved into his chest and legs burning him constantly, driving him to the brink of collapse.

"Quickly! Send me back to the Holy Land! I don't want these quacks to treat me!"

The holy site guards standing by cast questioning glances at the trembling doctor, and after seeing him nod repeatedly, they called to their colleagues to push the hospital bed out of the room.

Under the intimidating aura of the Celestial Dragons, the guards pushed the hospital bed unimpeded all the way and soon arrived at the bubble elevator beneath the Red Line.

Drive away your colleagues who are transporting ingredients, take the bubble elevator and ascend immediately to Mary Geoise, the "holy land" located above the Red Line.

Upon arrival at the holy site, a dedicated medical team was already waiting, administering a sedative to Jonathan Saint while pushing him in a hospital bed.

"and many more."

As they passed through Pangu City, a voice stopped the doctors.

The doctors looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the Five Elders, "God of Law and War," Topman Worchuri, who immediately knelt down and paid their respects.

"Great-grandfather, I want to kill that guy! You must help me kill that guy!"

Jonathan, who had become quiet under the tranquilizer, sat up excitedly upon seeing the family's biggest backer.

Saint Vocuri looked at this inferior offspring of inbreeding with disgust, but considering it was his own bloodline, he reassured him:

"Rest assured, I will wipe out all those lowly people who dare to offend the Topman family."

"Thank you, Great Ancestor..."

Jonathan's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and a sharp pain that even a sedative couldn't stop spread through his heart and lungs.

It felt as if countless tiny blades were surging through his blood, converging and strangling towards his heart and lungs.

Immediately afterward, under the horrified and furious gaze of Vaucioli Saint, Jonathan spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed straight down.

It was completely devoid of life.

Chapter 88 The Solitary Red

port

John leaned against the gunwale of the warship, gazing at the towering red earth continent, a sinister smile creeping across his lips.

"Power makes people submit, and submission creates power."

"Whether someone is shameless or not isn't for you to decide, it's for your fists!"

"Although I look down on the human trafficking business, I still find the auctioning of Celestial Dragons quite interesting."

He's made up his mind: when he's broke, he'll pull off a world-shaking mega-event!

We must trample the Celestial Dragons' nobility into the mud!

I wonder who will be the next lucky one, and who will have the courage to buy a noble Celestial Dragon as a slave...
