Chapter 14 On the high seas, wind and water are invincible.
After witnessing Rocks' death at the God Valley battlefield, Kaido transformed back into the Azure Dragon above the clouds, invisible to the naked eye.
With Charlotte Linlin and Rolling Clouds by their side, they quickly chased after the Celestial Dragons' refugee ship that had already evacuated during the chaotic battle.
After catching up with the ship from the air, Kaido did not rush down to capture the people.
Although the Celestial Dragons' refugee ship fled in haste, it was only accompanied by a warship and a vice admiral.
But Kaido hadn't forgotten that there was an immortal old Saturn Satan on this refuge ship, who had been secretly protecting him.
He can't beat Old Saturn in a head-on fight right now; charging in would just be suicide.
So after thinking it over, Kaido decided to just capsize the ship.
No matter how powerful an ability user is, if they have neither the ability to fly, freeze, nor control water, then on this vast ocean, once their ship is destroyed, there will only be one outcome!
That was sinking into the sea!!
Unfortunately, Kaido knew about Saturn.
This old man happens to be the "three-no strongman" described above!
Aside from the highly probable ability to use Moonwalk and the ability to teleport directly back to Mary Geoise over long distances, this old man has no other skills that allow him to survive at sea!
Kaido's massive dragon mouth curled slightly, and his long dragon body, carrying rolling dark clouds, began to silently circle around the two ships below.
Under the influence of the fruit's power, wind gathers clouds, clouds gather rain, and a massive typhoon spiral cloud formation slowly takes shape.
The refugee ship carrying the Celestial Dragons and another escort warship on the sea were all trapped in the eye of the typhoon, the only safe area within the typhoon's spiral cloud cluster.
"Enemy attack—!!"
"Notify the entire ship! Prepare for battle!!"
Just as the typhoon was fully formed, a red-haired female Celestial Dragon very alertly noticed the anomaly.
Her name is Selene, and she has a pink tag above her head that says "Max Level Human".
This was the target Kaido was planning to kidnap.
She stood in the center of the deck, drew her double-edged knight's sword from her waist and raised it high into the sky, her rosy lips constantly uttering various commands.
Kaido, still in the cloud, saw this scene and felt even more appreciative.
"If I cannot have this female Celestial Dragon, I must never leave her to the enemy!"
A genius with the potential to grow into an admiral, and a Celestial Dragon at that, Kaido doesn't want her to become a key factor that could lead to his future downfall.
Thinking this, Kaido increased his circling speed further and began to activate his ability, manipulating the eye of the typhoon to contract inward.
woohoo hoo...
Rumble...
The wind howled, lightning flashed and thunder roared, torrential rain poured down, and the waves surged.
As the safe eye of the typhoon shrank, the terror of the typhoon at sea began to gradually affect the two ships.
"Stay calm! Stay calm!!"
"This is an enemy ability attack!!"
"Compared to the Grand Line, this little storm is nothing!!"
Looking down at the ships below, the marines and agents maneuvered the vessels methodically.
These elites from the Grand Line certainly have a wealth of experience in dealing with such natural disasters.
Moreover, the materials used for their hulls are of very high quality, and they cannot be damaged by ordinary strong winds.
"In that case, let's try the Great Whirlpool!!"
Kaido used his ability to manipulate the rainwater accumulated in the rain clouds, preventing it from falling into the sea. Instead, the rainwater floated above the sea surface and, as Kaido spun at high speed, transformed into a giant waterspout.
The Celestial Dragons and two Navy ships were trapped in the center of a waterspout.
Kaido didn't let the waterspout shrink; instead, he used it to create more seawater, turning the center of the ocean into a giant whirlpool.
The Celestial Dragons' refugee ship and escorting warships were constantly drifting towards the center of the whirlpool, driven by the whirlpool's currents.
Because of the critical situation, Satan was finally alerted and appeared on the deck.
However, he didn't actually have a very good solution.
After all, none of his abilities were capable of dealing with such a large-scale natural disaster.
The only way to save this ship of Celestial Dragons is to summon Bone, the bald old man, one of the Five Elders.
With the old bald man's freezing abilities, freezing the sea would completely avert the capsizing crisis.
However, Satan would never do that.
The Five Elders' duties are to be Im's personal guards, deal with the possible emergence of the sun god Nika, and manage the world order according to Im's will.
Compared to these important tasks, to expose the Five Elders' trump card for the life or death of a mere shipload of Celestial Dragons, especially to an insignificant character like Kaido, do they really think anyone is worthy of the Five Elders' intervention?
And so.
Under the indifferent gaze of old Saturn, the two ships, driven by the vortex, eventually collided at its center.
boom!
Wood chips flew everywhere, and the hull was torn apart.
The people on both ships felt the earth shake violently.
Whoosh!
The two ships that collided were being spun around in the center of the whirlpool and squeezed towards the center.
Ultimately, both ships lost their balance and capsized completely in the center of the whirlpool.
Countless marines and Celestial Dragons tumbled into the whirlpool.
The powerful current rendered even swimmers helpless.
Old Saturn walked on the moon and briefly floated in the air with the other agents.
Just as they were about to reach out to rescue the person, a gust of wind blew in from the side.
With no foothold in the air, they had no way to resist and were forced to be blown far away, even the old Saturn was no exception.
The azure dragon finally poked its head out from the clouds.
He manipulated the waterspout to start rotating in the opposite direction.
With two opposing rotating forces, the vortex suddenly surged violently, like boiling water.
Countless Celestial Dragons and Marines were unable to withstand such intense changes in the water flow and sank to the bottom of the sea one after another.
A few minutes later, the large whirlpool gradually calmed down.
Kaido scanned the small heads that had survived the shipwreck and luckily found the target of his mission.
"Well, you've survived a close call, girl!"
The long, slender dragon body began to swoop down.
It drew an arc a few meters above the sea, and at the same time, the dragon claw reached out and grabbed a slender body in its hand.
Looking down to confirm he hadn't grabbed the wrong person, Kaido took a deep breath.
"Heat Breath!!"
The golden-white pillar of fire drew an irregular shape on the sea.
Boom boom boom...
The series of explosions ripped apart at sea.
Kaido activated the system's identification function once again.
Once it was confirmed that there were no more living entries in the sea of fire, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
With Charlotte Linlin riding on Zeus's thundercloud, the two disappeared together at the edge of the sky.
On the sea.
Satan quickly broke free from the wind's control and returned to the scene using Moonwalk.
just.
Apart from the raging fire burning on the sea, there was no sign of any ships or living people.
Suddenly, there was a soft thud.
A head appeared on the sea not far from the sea of fire.
Satan rushed over and pulled the other person up.
He is the lieutenant general in charge of the escort mission.
Because of his superior strength and the fact that he hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit, he managed to escape Kaido's breath attack by diving underwater.
Of course, even so, he still had multiple burns on his body.
However, Satan has no interest in how badly he is injured right now.
"Where are the Celestial Dragons?! How many survived?!"
"No...no...it's just me..."
Satan's eyes hardened, and he was about to strike.
In the critical moment, the lieutenant general's brain worked at super-fast speed in order to save his life.
"Wait...wait a minute! I...I remember! There...there's someone still alive!"
"Who is it?!"
"It's... a red-haired female Celestial Dragon... she was captured by a blue dragon..."
