The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

The dragon's breath surged violently, and the scorching flames burned everything, turning the heavens and earth blood red.

He burst forth towards Luffy, who was also charging towards him!

Furthermore, Luffy's unstoppable momentum completely overwhelmed them!

"Is that all there is to it?!"

A hint of disdain flashed in Kaido's eyes, but he was quickly stunned.

"Um?!!"

As the breath burned out and the thick smoke dissipated, the ant that should have disappeared was still not defeated.

Kaido even doubted his own eyes:

"He wasn't injured at all, so he's become immune to fire?!"

"This isn't something rubber should be capable of! What on earth is going on?!"

Luffy, however, was full of vigor and retaliated once again:

"This is fighting spirit!!"

Whether it was an illusion or a delusion, Kaido could no longer tell!

Boom! !

Only the piercing pain felt exceptionally real.

A powerful punch shattered the darkness, followed closely by a barrage of bouncy punches.

What if you are the strongest creature with no flaws? What if you are the emperor of the sea who reigns supreme over the world? What if you are the strongest force that looks down on all living beings?

This barrage of powerful punches, delivered with tremendous force, rained down upon us!

"King Ape Spear - Wild Attack!!"

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the incredibly generous donation!! Thank you!!!]

651 Kaido in his human-beast form!! Lightning Ball! Let me send you on your final journey!!

This move fully unleashes the power of the "new era"!

It is a roar, a howl, a shout; it is a meteor that pierces through the darkness of the old era.

It is the radiant light that upholds the beliefs of partners, the wrath of the wise king that crushes trembling evil, and the turbulent tsunami that sets the gears of destiny in motion.

Beneath the dome of Onigashima, Gear Fourth Bounce Man unleashed his full power, his Ryuo Iron Fist raining down on the dragon's body like a storm.

It seemed as if it wanted to pierce through every single dragon scale.

Even legendary mythical beasts, the strongest creatures, cannot escape the resolute attack enhanced by top-tier Armament Haki!

The sounds of Kaido's fists colliding with flesh echoed across the sky.

This monster-like being, the king of beasts and one of the Four Emperors, was suppressed at this moment by a brat he looked down upon.

Luffy focused all his strength into his right fist.

"Kaido!!"

A deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth, and a final, powerful blow, imbued with intense willpower, slammed down towards Kaido's head!

The dragon's massive body crashed heavily into the ground, causing the entire island to tremble.

This rubber-powered punch that reversed the offensive is both an awe of the "new era" and a shock to the "old era."

The seemingly "dying" dragon slowly rose from the thick smoke and glanced at Luffy in the sky.

That murderous intent, so disdainful of all living beings, once again swept across the heavens and earth like a raging tsunami!

The next second, a colossal dragon, as swift as a serpent, began to coil and swirl, whipping up countless gusts of wind, and soaring straight into the sky!

"They really do have some skills..."

A chilling voice came from the sky, and the dragon's body unfurled into a spiral, unleashing a world-destroying whirlwind.

Like a mad dragon, tearing the heavens and earth apart.

"But you think you can defeat me with this kind of power..."

A dark vortex drew in a sky full of ominous clouds, and countless thunderclaps descended upon the world like a calamity.

"Isn't that a bit too naive?!"

The dragon's roar echoed across the heavens and earth, its ultimate killing move imminent.

"Tornado - Bad Wind!!"

His furious roar unleashed a torrent of wind, transforming it into countless slashes that surged in all directions, unleashing his boundless killing intent.

This unprecedented power is the best response from the Sea Emperor to Luffy's "new era"!

Luffy dodged left and right, avoiding the attacks.

"As expected, even with this level of domineering aura, it's difficult to achieve anything significant..."

Looking at Kaido, who still stood tall and proud, Luffy's eyes flashed, and he slowly deactivated his Gear Fourth form.

At the same time, as if by prior arrangement, Kaido's enormous dragon body slowly shrank.

Both sides, without prior agreement, decided to resort to other means!

A monster slowly emerged from the thick smoke of Kaido's landing.

"That's Kaido? 々~!"

Luffy was taken aback for a moment, his brain unusually not short-circuiting.

"Is it the humanoid form of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user?!"

The 'monster' was wielding a spiked club, its skin covered in dragon scales, and its ferocious claws were terrifying.

"That was so much fun!"

Faced with Luffy's relentless pursuit, Kaido finally unleashed his full bloodlust, and the ferocious power that had been dormant for so long was finally reignited today.

This vast ocean has eliminated countless madmen, and those who can be considered "opponents" are as rare as phoenix feathers. The sea emperor who has dominated the region has been lonely for too long.

But at this moment, he can finally fight without restraint and relive the glory days of the Rocks Pirates!

If we've met our match, let's fight to the bitter end!

"It's time to send you to hell!!"

The king of beasts, the strongest creature on land, sea, and air, who has survived countless battles, reveals its true form.

Covered in azure dragon scales, its limbs transformed into dragon claws, topped with four square dragon horns, and carrying a powerful dragon tail.

This is Kaido's strongest form: the Azure Dragon Beast Form!!

Luffy stared at this Yonko, who was a force to be reckoned with across the seas, without showing any fear:

"As for hell, I don't even know how many times I've been there!!"

He flashed a fearless smile. "Looks like I have the upper hand!!"

Kaido stared at the brat, his blood boiling with rage. "Straw Hat, your eyes never go out, no matter what!!"

The real battle has only just begun!

~~~~~~~~~

The battle on the rooftop had reached a fever pitch, with countless shattered stones crashing into the banquet hall through the breach in the roof.

At the same time, it also crashed into the figure whose body was covered in charred black charcoal.

"You didn't have many years left to live anyway~"

Link looked at his wife, who was panting heavily and holding a ball of soul light in her trembling hands, and shook his head.

"If you keep wasting your lifespan like this, you might die of old age before I kill you."

The severely injured Charlotte Linlin ignored him, staring with bloodshot eyes like a gambler who had lost everything, and swallowed the soul orb whole.

In an instant, the previously slightly narrowed aura expanded once more.

At the same time, a wave of spiritual light gathered in his palm and gently caressed the wounds all over his body.

Instantly, the body, infused with the power of new life, recovered from its injuries one by one, and boundless power surged forth like thunder.

"Very well, so that you can spend your remaining years in prison in peace, instead of dying a miserable death on the battlefield..."

Link cracked his wrists. "That'll save you from having to keep doing sit-ups here, wasting each other's energy and time."

"You don't find it tiring, but I find it troublesome~"

"Let me see you off on your final journey!!"

As he finished speaking, Link's eyes gradually calmed down.

boom! !

Link responded with several huge, burning balls of fire.

[Heavenly Fireball]!!

Like a giant cannon blazing, several blazing fireballs exploded out.

Prometheus burst forth with boundless flames, carrying the Soul Queen's pent-up resentment, like a monstrous divine punishment that blotted out the sun, crashing down upon the land below.

This raging fire of heaven is determined to burn everything.

Since lightning is ineffective, let's use my most prized physical skills and blazing flames to decide the outcome!

Swish! !

Flames and heat enveloped the sky, and endless flames sealed off the world!

Charlotte Linlin herself wielded Napoleon's giant blade, the Soul Queen channeling her monstrous strength, with Prometheus's boundless flames clinging to Napoleon's terrifying greatsword.

This unparalleled [Flame of the Blade Mother] condensed into a devastating attack, causing the earth to crack open and flames to fly wildly, slashing towards them like a purgatory descending upon the world!

However, in the face of Charlotte Linlin's attack, Link simply raised one hand slightly.

A ball of azure lightning, surrounded by countless bolts of thunder, once again soared into the sky.

"Thunderbolt - Lightning Ball!!"

A blinding flash of light hurtled towards us, and in an instant, it exploded into countless thunderclaps, shattering the darkness into dawn.

In an instant, thunder roared and lightning flashed.

Endless lightning poured down in all directions, easily isolating the so-called raging flames.

At the same time, a pillar of divine lightning, like a divine punishment, crashed down on Charlotte Linlin!

"I'm an expert at playing with grenades too!!"

With a roar, Charlotte Linlin unleashed all her fury upon the bolt of lightning.

yah~

The Soul Queen unleashed a thunderous punch, her jet-black, domineering power bursting forth with lightning, tearing apart the massive (royal) bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket.

The next second, he grasped Napoleon's hand, who was of one mind with him, and Prometheus's flames blazed brightly, while Zeus's thunderous roar continued to explode!

The three Horcruxes activated in response!

"Singing Light Sword!!"

"Sawtooth Demon Blade" Napoleon, "Blazing Sun" Prometheus, and "Black Thunder Cloud" Zeus—the three great demons instantly merged into one!

A raging storm of flames and lightning, accompanied by a fierce slash, burst forth from the sky!

"What a waste of effort!"

Link once again conjured the Spear of Divine Punishment in his hand, and forcefully blocked the attack!

"You've wasted your energy!!"

Charlotte roared sharply, "The time for dreaming is coming to an end! End!"

"Kids, there are already hundreds of pirates like you who have sunk to the bottom of the sea!!"

"Decades ago, when we ruled this sea, you bunch of greenhorns were still nursing!"
