Chapter 2 The smug Azure Dragon, the chaotic battlefield
"King Slayer Kaido, Natural Destroyer Charlotte Linlin."
Old Saturn spoke indifferently, as if he didn't take these two famous pirates of the seas seriously at all.
"Now that you've gotten what you wanted, get out of here! This is none of your business!"
"How arrogant you are, Five Elders!"
Kaido twisted his neck, feeling a little smug after just eating the Mythical Azure Dragon Fruit, wanting to test just how much of a difference there was between him and Old Saturn.
Of course, what was more important was that the old man's attitude made him quite unhappy.
That contemptuous look in his eyes, as if it were looking at ants, reminded him of some unpleasant experiences, and he couldn't help but want to slap Saturn across the face.
"Roar--!"
Kaido let out a low growl, and his body began to change.
Its skin was covered with faint blue dragon scales, and it seemed as if two horns were about to grow from its forehead.
"bring it on!!"
With a shout, Kaido's transformation officially began.
Its mouth stretched forward, dragon horns grew from its forehead, its eyes transformed into vertical pupils, its body was completely covered with blue dragon scales, and its hands and feet all transformed into dragon claws.
At the same time, as he looked up at the sky, his entire body began to elongate.
A huge dragon head rose up, followed by a long, strong, and massive dragon body.
"hold head high--!"
With a roar that soared into the sky, a colossal azure dragon, over a thousand meters long, rose into the heavens and began to meander and roam the sky.
Kaido felt something was trying to grow out of his shoulder, so he stopped flying and focused his mind.
puff!
A pair of blue wings, like a peacock spreading its tail, suddenly bloomed from Kaido's shoulder.
Wings shook the heavens, and a storm swept through.
The forces of wind and thunder are wrapped around the left and right wings respectively.
Kaido glanced at the wings behind him and a look of realization dawned on his face.
"I remember now. In the orthodox mythology of my previous life, the Azure Dragon, as one of the 'Four Symbols of Heaven' and the Eastern God, had wings!"
He lowered his head and looked once more at the spot where he had taken off.
Old Saturn remained standing in the same spot as before, so arrogant that he didn't even bother to glance at his cool transformation.
"This is fucking infuriating!"
Overwhelmed with rage, Kaido couldn't help but want to spew something.
He couldn't control the impulse, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth.
boom!
A powerful column of fire shot out.
A terrifying heat descended from the sky, and old Saturn finally deigned to raise its eyes.
But that's about it.
As the highest authority in the world, second only to Im among the Celestial Dragons, Kaido's provocation was nothing more than the clamor of an ant.
He doesn't even need to lift a finger; someone will cut off Kaido's head on their own.
"You audacious madman! How dare you attack the Five Elders!!"
A large group of figures dressed in white suits quickly appeared in front of Old Saturn.
They leaped up from the ground and kicked repeatedly at the pillars of fire falling from the sky.
"Storm Kick - Chaos!!"
Countless flying slashes shot into the sky, successfully cutting the flames at the very tip of the fire pillar into pieces, causing them to lose their impact and disperse erratically into the surrounding space.
Kaido was not surprised to see this.
After all, he had just obtained the Azure Dragon Fruit and this was the first time he had breathed dragon breath.
It's understandable that a completely unfamiliar skill might be less powerful when used for the first time.
But... Kaido isn't a man who gives up after the first time!
He said he wanted to slap Saturn across the face, so he absolutely has to!
His eyes narrowed, and as he maintained this breath, he felt the dragon's breath flames surge from inside his body to his throat and then exhale through his mouth, experiencing the changes in his entire body, inside and out.
A few seconds later, he seemed to be deep in thought and stopped the first breath of dragon fire he was about to unleash.
Taking another deep breath, the dragon head rose high and then violently swung downwards.
boom!
The second burst of dragon breath erupted from the dragon's mouth with even greater speed, violence, and terrifying temperature.
That exaggerated speed and impact were at least twice as strong as the first dragon breath!
Similarly, its temperature far exceeded that of the first dragon breath!
Subtly, the color of the flames changed from orange-red to a more dazzling golden-white.
on the ground.
Those countless figures in white suits attempted to replicate the battle technique of slicing dragon breath with a storm kick.
But this time, their slashes were directly swallowed up by the dragon's breath.
Although it did indeed mitigate much of the dragon's breath's power.
But Kaido's breath was both powerful and sustained, and once the force kicked in, all the flames that had been shattered earlier became useless.
boom!
The pillar of fire, tens of meters in diameter, mercilessly engulfed the white figures.
Then, in the arrogant and angry gaze of old Saturn, it completely swallowed him up.
Golden-white fire lines plowed across the land, countless explosions flashed in succession, and mushroom clouds of fire slowly rose into the air.
The town, already engulfed in flames, was completely transformed into a living hell.
"Urororororo..."
The Azure Dragon laughed joyfully in the sky.
"You fucking show-off! I'm going to yell at you!"
After laughing, Kaido's gaze swept across the land, as he took off and a large group of marines and special agents were surrounding him.
Moreover, after the chain of explosions caused by the dragon's breath ended, the fragments of Old Saturn's body began to rapidly regenerate as if time had reversed.
One slap is enough. If you keep hitting him, and old Saturn lowers his guard and takes matters into his own hands, he'll be the one who suffers.
With an annoyed "tsk," Kaido's dragon body swooped down rapidly.
"Lingling! It's time to go! We've already got what we needed, there's no need to waste any more time with them!!"
"Oh!"
Charlotte Linlin readily agreed, and following the downward swooping dragon head of Kaido, she leaped up and rode directly onto his neck.
Kaido's long dragon body drew an arc in the air a few meters above the ground, and his dragon claws swept across the ground, grabbing the three children from before.
After taking off again, Kaido glanced at the woman riding on his neck.
"You have Zeus to fly with, why are you riding on my neck?!"
Charlotte Linlin, perched on Kaido's neck, leaned down and placed her ample bosom on his head, smiling as she said, "Haven't I ridden on you enough times?"
"Damn it! This isn't just a concept!"
"Then just throw me off!"
"..."
"Fine, this is the only time, and it won't happen again."
Kaido couldn't be bothered to argue with this woman.
After ascending to a higher altitude, with a view overlooking the entire island, the situation of the battlefields everywhere suddenly became clear.
In the center of the island, the two mountains that together formed a line between heaven and earth had completely collapsed.
Three barely discernible afterimages collided and fought fiercely back and forth.
Each collision between them could unleash countless thick, black and red lightning bolts, shattering the already collapsed mountain into even smaller fragments.
Moreover, these lightning bolts did not only cover the two mountains; with their point of impact as the center, almost half of the island was shrouded in these lightning bolts.
Anyone attempting to approach the central battlefield of support, even a high-ranking officer like a vice admiral from the Navy Headquarters, would faint from a distance of several kilometers.
"Damn, that guy Rocks is really strong!"
"Not only did he take down the Fleet Admiral in a one-against-three fight, he also managed to keep Roger and Garp, those two monsters, under his control!"
Kaido cursed under his breath, his gaze shifting from the central battlefield to the eastern side of the island.
The atmosphere there shattered like glass, and terrifying seismic waves tore the earthquake into pieces.
A menacing crescent-shaped sword aura shot into the sky, colliding with the shockwave, the two sides locked in a stalemate.
That was the battlefield of Whitebeard Edward Newgate, whose opponent was Figarand Garin, the strongest of the new generation of the Knights of God.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that the two sides are evenly matched?
The gaze then shifted to the northern part of the island.
A giant lion's head, made of mud, rocks, and architectural ruins, roars and howls at a golden Buddha statue.
That was Shiki the Golden Lion's battlefield, and his opponent was Sengoku, the future Fleet Admiral and current Admiral candidate and strategist.
This pair seems to be evenly matched as well.
The focus continues to shift from the north to the west.
This is where the Marines formed ranks to evacuate the Celestial Dragons, and it's also where Marine reinforcements continuously land.
Kaido silently issued an identification command to the system in his mind.
In an instant, countless blue, white, and green talent attributes densely filled the entire western side of the island.
Amidst the countless blue skies and white clouds, a fleeting glimpse of purple light occasionally stirred Kaido's interest.
But he continues his search, hoping to find a higher level of talent.
The gaze shifted from the shore to the refugee ships in the harbor.
Suddenly, a pink entry caught Kaido's eye.
It stood out so prominently among the vast expanse of blue sky and white clouds.
Kaido's eyes flickered slightly as he secretly memorized the appearance of the person whose name was on the entry before shifting his gaze to the south side of the island.
The battlefield here is the most chaotic.
The Rocks Pirates, led by Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, John, and Gloria.
The Roger Pirates, led by Rayleigh and Jabba.
There are also Admiral Kong and a group of skilled naval personnel led by Admiral Candidate Black Arm Zephyr.
And the younger generation of the Knights of God, excluding Garin.
The four groups fought a truly chaotic and fierce battle.
"Kaido, let's go straight back to Beehive Island. There's no point in fighting here anymore."
Charlotte Linlin suddenly spoke on Kaido's head.
"What? Are you scared?"
Charlotte Linlin angrily slapped his head.
"You little brat, don't try to use reverse psychology on me!"
"I just feel that we've already achieved the objectives of this operation, and there's no need to really risk our lives for that bastard Rocks!"
Kaido shifted his attention back to the battlefield in the center of the island.
"Lingling, you can't do this!"
He earnestly advised, "As the future Queen of the Sea, how can you fear the battle at the summit!"
"Moreover, a battle of this magnitude is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Are you really willing to accept it without experiencing it firsthand?"
"You're a woman who could kill a giant elder when you were only 5 years old!"
"Your talent is far from being fully developed!!"
Charlotte Linlin's eyes sparkled; this bratty younger brother always managed to say things that resonated with her, always leaving her wanting more.
"I'm going to die! You brat!"
Charlotte Linlin slapped Kaido's head again in annoyance.
"But since you've put it this way, I'll listen to you and go crazy with you!"
"From birth until now, I really don't know what it feels like to be injured!"
"Let me see! Can this ultimate battle leave a wound on me?!"
