Coupled with his handsome appearance and a pure, gentle aura like nature, he left the women of the Beasts Pirates speechless.

"I've long admired your name, Kaido of the Beasts," Chen Yong'an said, extending his hand. "The beastly things you did in the outer seas and Wano Country are truly legendary."

"For a pirate, this is the greatest compliment," Kaido said calmly, extending his hand to firmly shake Chen Yong'an's hand. "The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is the law of survival in this world!"

As Kaido finished speaking, the veins on his bulging arms suddenly bulged as he exerted force!

Chen Yong'an, who had anticipated this, responded almost simultaneously with brute force!

In an instant, their strength and aura collided, creating a terrifying shockwave that swept across the entire Oni Island!

Those who were closer and weaker were so frightened that they foamed at the mouth and flew backward like kites!

A crack was torn open in the sky!

Outside Onigashima, the underlings who had just climbed up from the deck and hadn't recovered were once again terrified and fainted under the impact of this Conqueror's Haki!

The Land of Harmony, the Capital of Flowers.

"What is that? The sky has cracked open!"

Someone shouted, and the people nearby stopped what they were doing and subconsciously looked up in the direction of Oni Island.

This apocalyptic scene left everyone speechless with shock.

A courtyard in the Flower Capital.

The Wano Country yakuza boss and Orochi's bodyguard, a man named Kyoshiro, looked up at the crack that had appeared in the sky above Wano Country, clutching the intelligence he had obtained from the Beasts Pirates, and muttered:

"War, has it already begun? There's still a year left until the twenty years predicted. Does that mean the prophecy was wrong? What have I been enduring all these years of humiliation and hardship for? What kind of future will Wano Country have?"

Kyoshiro doesn't have the ability to see the future and doesn't know what will happen, but his intuition tells him that now is the best time to take action.

Defeat Kurozumi Orochi and return Wano Country to the Kozuki clan.

The wind stopped, the clouds dispersed.

Chen Yong'an and Kaido simultaneously released their clasped hands, ending their first battle.

"My requirements are simple: first, wash your hands of your life and go ashore like Whitebeard, end your sinful pirate career, and honestly become a king."

Second, ally with me to fight the World Government, create a new world, restore peace and order to this world, and completely end this boring era of pirates.

“Not a bad suggestion,” Kaido said, a sinister smile creeping across his face. “You’ve sabotaged my arms trade, cut off my supply of artificial Devil Fruits, and killed Linlin. Are you just going to let it go like this? Aren’t you going to give me any compensation?”

"For example, Compound V, which allows users to use Devil Fruit abilities without any side effects?"

“You’re a smart man,” Kaido said, his gaze toward Chen Yong’an filled with greed.

Compound 5 can be said to completely surpass artificial Devil Fruits. It will not become helpless and laugh out loud after failure, nor will it be unable to revert after fusing with an animal. When not using its power, it can also avoid the two biggest weaknesses: Seastone and the sea.

It's absolutely perfect!

Once he gets his hands on it, he can easily replicate an army of Azure Dragons just like him. At that time, this world will be completely within his grasp!

Fight for the Great Treasure and become the King of the World!

Only a weakling like Chen Yong'an, possessing such power, would fight for the right to survive for the likes of ants!

What's with all this talk about advocating for equality for all? It's utterly boring!

"As long as you provide me with enough Compound V, I will agree to any conditions you set out to do, whether it's washing your hands of the world or forming an alliance with you to fight against the World Government. What do you think?"

“Not so good,” Chen Yong’an stared at Kaido’s greedy and ambitious eyes. His body began to shrink, his ten fingers became sharp, and jade-like dragon scales appeared on the skin near his arms and neck. A dragon tail covered with scales extended from behind his robes and stood in the air.

Chen Yong'an is not a fool like Kozuki Oden. He won't be fooled by Kaido's few words, and he certainly won't hand over Compound No. 5 to a pirate with such a bad track record and no integrity.

His answer couldn't be clearer!

Kaido noticed Chen Yong'an's change and understood his answer.

He immediately launched into action at zero frames, gripping a massive spiked club, his body wreathed in purple lightning, trailing red and black lightning symbolizing his domineering aura, and swung the club at Chen Yong'an!

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!!"

Pirates are people who steal what they want!

Chapter 684: Clash!

Thunder Bagua, Kaido's signature technique, uses lightning to enhance his physical body to teleportation speed, and then swings a spiked club wrapped in Conqueror's Haki to achieve a terrifying attack capable of instantly defeating a Yonko's first mate!

But this strike missed its mark.

Kaido looked down and saw a faint mark spreading from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, slowly blooming, and then blood spurting out!

"Ahhhh!!!"

The intense pain caused Kaido to scream and roll his eyes back!

Chen Yong'an, who was half-dragon and standing in mid-air, turned around gracefully and said, "They resort to sneak attacks at the slightest disagreement. They are truly despicable, shameless, and have no bottom line. They are the worst of the worst."

"You bastard, how much more noble are you than me?" Kaido turned around with a twisted face. Blue scales appeared on his thick arms, neck, and face, making his appearance even more ferocious and terrifying. He grew sharp fangs, and his hair and beard moved without wind, like a demon from the deepest hell.

"You drag innocent people into the flames of war, causing widespread suffering and displacement. Do you think everyone wants to fight against the World Government with you? Do you think what you've done is right? These are just your arbitrary impositions on the will of the world!!"

In terms of wickedness and shamelessness, no one can compare to you!

"I've seen these words countless times in the newspapers that criticize me. Do you think that will shake my will to change the world? If you want to know my answer, go back and read through the old newspapers! Idiot!"

After saying that, Chen Yong'an was too lazy to waste any more words with Kaido. He transformed into a nimble dragon, gripped the black sword Shusui tightly, and launched a relentless barrage of slashes at Kaido!

In response to Chen Yong'an's slash, Kaido swung his spiked club in a dense, impenetrable barrage!

"Kundali Longsheng Army!"

The two attacked each other without direct contact, their attacks imbued with Conqueror's Haki causing the air currents to churn and flash with terrifying red and black lightning. Even the aftershocks were enough to pulverize the surrounding rocks!

Although it was a clash between them, it allowed Kaido to experience being suppressed again after many years!

Chen Yong'an's Conqueror's Haki doesn't feel like a common "hammer" or "sharp blade." Instead, it makes Kaido feel like he's just a tiny mantis, powerless against being crushed by a wheel!

Unable to stop his advance, they were forced to retreat inch by inch!

This eerie feeling fueled Kaido's rage. He gripped his spiked club tightly, raised it high, and roared, "Thunder Bagua!"

The strongest attack, imbued with all of Kaido's energy and spirit, crashed down with a thunderous roar, trailing red and black lightning!

"boom!!"

With a loud bang, the ground was smashed into a deep crater, collapsing and shattering like a spider web, with rocks flying everywhere!

The entire Oni Island shook violently as if an earthquake had struck!

Kaido's bloodshot eyes widened in shock, and his attack missed its mark!

At that moment, an ominous premonition made Kaido's hair stand on end. He clenched his left fist and twisted his body to punch without hesitation!

"Boom!" You Lin is not here, you Lin Mei is empty, you Lin is here, there's nothing...

With a loud bang, Chen Yong'an was sent flying like a cannonball and blasted into the Skull Castle.

Smoke filled the air.

Kaido, who sent Chen Yong'an flying with a single blow, felt no joy at having gained the upper hand; only lingering fear.

Kaido looked at the cloak and hair that Chen Yong'an had cut down and left on the ground, and reached out to touch his neck.

Intense pain, and hands covered in blood.

If he had reacted any slower, Chen Yong'an could have cut off his head!

No matter how powerful Kaido's Devil Fruit ability is, or how invulnerable his body is, when faced with Chen Yong'an's blade imbued with Conqueror's Haki, he is no different from an ordinary person.

Being slashed will result in injury, and being slashed in the head will result in death.

This is the closest Kaido has come to death in all these years!

The moment Kaido made his move against Chen Yong'an, the others also sprang into action.

They each sought out their pre-selected opponents.

2B instantly entered her most proficient Lioness God form, her golden hair flowing like flames, her apex predator's killing intent undisguised, piercing the eyes like the sun corona behind her!

Dragging her greatsword, which was blazing with golden flames, she charged ahead of Jack the Drought, one of the Three Calamities!

2B's sharp killing intent aroused the interest of "Flame Calamity," the leader of the Three Calamities, and King, who was also a swordsman. He immediately burst into flames, flapped his wings, and charged toward 2B, intending to intercept her!

"Ding!"

The sudden sound sent chills down Jhin's spine. He parried with his longsword, blocking Eve's attack that suddenly appeared in front of him!

Another top-tier swordsman!

"drink!!"

With Eve's angry shout, the lightning emanating from her longsword became even more menacing, and with several swift and heavy thrusts, she sent the tall Ember flying into the air!

Eve looked up at Jhin, who had entered his Pteranodon form and stabilized himself in mid-air. Jhin had also entered her fusion mode, which was radiant with gold, pure and holy, like an angel, and said, "Your opponent is me!"

With that, she flapped her single wing, dragging the greatsword crackling with lightning in her hand, and transformed into a golden lightning bolt that was difficult to catch with the naked eye as she rushed towards Jin!

What a great speed!

Jhin, who always prided himself on his flying speed, was shocked, but faced with Eve's fierce attack, he could only hastily raise the blade in his hand to fight.

They struggled to defend themselves.

Without Jhin's interference, 2B successfully rushed to Jack the Drought, raised the White Promise blazing with golden flames, and slashed it down!

Its imposing presence made it seem as if it could cleave the entire Ghost Island in two!

Faced with this terrifying blow, Jack didn't flinch at all. He charged forward, raising his scimitar in an attempt to take 2B's attack head-on!

"Who do you think I am! I'm Jack the Drought!"

The two crossed paths, Jack's scimitar was cleaved in two, and Jack's powerful body was also nearly cleaved in two.

Jack stared wide-eyed at the huge wound on his body, which was engulfed in golden flames, finding it hard to accept what had happened.

“It’s nothing,” 2B calmly raised the White Promise in her hand. “I wonder how many times you can withstand such an attack.”

After saying that, 2B once again swung down the White Promise, which was blazing with golden flames.

"A bunch of troublesome guys, but luckily I was prepared."

Quinn, one of the three calamities, looked contemptuous and was about to raise the Gatling gun loaded with plague bullets when a cold voice rang out from below him.

"Big stomach, where are you looking?"

"Ok?"

Before Queen could react, a powerful punch, imbued with top-tier Armament Haki and possessing tremendous penetrating force, slammed heavily into Queen's large stomach!

"Boom!"

With that punch, Quinn's facial features were distorted, and the fat on his body rippled like exaggerated waves!

He was blasted away like a giant ball!

Having succeeded in one strike, Tifa gave him no chance to catch his breath. She used her legs to leap into the air and chased after him, using Compound 5 to enter the long-awaited Anubis form in mid-air.

A black sand shield, a symbol of death, enveloped Quinn, blocking his five senses and draining his life force.

Prepare to take down Quinn in one fell swoop!

Chapter 685: Gaining the Upper Hand

In the blink of an eye, the three top generals, second only to Kaido, were successfully distracted by 2B, Eve, and Tifa, and even clearly fell into a disadvantageous position.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the morale of the Beasts Pirates!

"These guys are ridiculously strong!"

Rune, one of the Flying Six, shouted, "This is the first time I've ever seen an enemy that even Lord Kaido's Thunder Bagua couldn't defeat!"

"They're charging at us!" One of the Flying Six, Foz-Follow, transformed into a round, fat saber-toothed tiger, his fur standing on end, poised to pounce on his prey. "Let's deal with the enemies in front of us first!"

Before the words had even finished, the Flying Six, who were second only to the Three Disasters in rank among the Beasts Pirates, unleashed their Devil Fruit abilities, transforming into ferocious and powerful beasts.

With its diverse array of species, including saber-toothed tigers, Allosaurus, ancient tarantulas, Triceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, and Spinosaurus, it's like an ancient zoo!

But before the enemy could get close, X Drake, who had transformed into an Allosaurus, opened his gaping maw and bit down on the neck of the Triceratops Sasaki beside him!

"Roar!!"

The sharp dragon teeth pierced the Triceratops' thick skin, and the powerful bite force, which almost tore the flesh off, made the Triceratops roar in pain.

The sudden turn of events left the remaining members completely astonished. They never imagined that Drake, who had only recently become one of the Flying Six, would choose to betray them at this crucial moment!
