Chapter 1279: Kaido! Big Mom! And Myself!
Chapter 1279: Kaido! Big Mom! And Myself!
Eustass Kid and Law were both visibly unsettled at this moment.
Although Law already knew that the sword had consumed a Devil Fruit, actually witnessing it was still difficult to accept.
The might was simply overwhelming.
The dragon's own aura of overwhelming pressure was crushing them alongside its Killing Intent, an utterly terrifying presence.
It wasn't just them who felt this terror - even the Navy forces turned their gazes toward the blade that had transformed into a colossal dragon.
On the battlefield, Ju Geng drew his bowstring taut and released three arrows in one motion, striking three enemies before being startled by the sudden terrifying aura. He turned his gaze toward the dragon.
"A dragon?"
Ju Geng murmured, suddenly tilting his head sideways as Haki manifested on his arm. He extended his shoulder and slapped it against an incoming blade, catching it with a sharp crack.
"Jade Collapse!"
With a surge of strength, he gripped the blade and thrust it forward, sending the pirate who had attempted the sneak attack hurtling through the air like a bowling ball, crashing into his comrades and scattering them like pins.
He turned his gaze back to the dragon and sighed, "This is truly remarkable."
"Impact Tide: Explosion Surge!"
Boom!!
Sazil descended mid-air, slamming his fist into a group of pirates. The air current explosion from his Nailsfist Technique combined with his Devil Fruit ability triggered a massive explosion that sent pirates flying in all directions.
He turned his head toward the dragon, his expression a mix of shock and excitement. "Incredible! No wonder they call him Kuro Admiral!!"
The stronger his opponent, the more excited Sazil became. After all, this was his boss's boss - the mightier Kuro became, the more secure and promising his own future appeared.
At this moment, he completely forgot about the old goal he'd sworn to surpass the legendary Kuro when he first joined the Navy.
Truly a shameless, worldwide powerhouse.
Fen Ni's battlefield was even simpler. She hadn't even lifted a finger, merely standing there as pirates around her collapsed to the ground, their breathing labored, faces flushed red, bodies weakened.
Of course, this wasn't due to her alluring figure, but rather her ability infecting them. Massive plague viruses had infiltrated their bodies, causing their physical deterioration.
"A dragon... Is it truly alive? Acceptable for research purposes?"
Fen Ni folded her arms, accentuating her ample chest in a way that suggested delicate branches bearing heavy fruit. She tapped her chin thoughtfully. "For a dragon... what kind of virus could cause destruction?"
"Truly amazing", Moer muttered as she slammed a pirate's head into the ground, then whistled while crouching. "A dragon! Uncle, I've always had a soft spot for long and thick things... because I have one myself."
"Dragon..."
Klah, who stood near Kuro, also felt the might radiating from the dragon. As another Zoan-type user, his sensitivity to this overwhelming presence was particularly acute, allowing him to fully grasp the dragon's oppressive and terrifying nature.
"Kuro Mr. has reached this level already?!"
Just as he claimed - truly subarashi!
The dragon coiled through the heavens for a moment before suddenly shrinking, returning to Kuro's side and transforming back into a sword, floating in mid-air.
Kuro turned his gaze toward Eustass Kid and Law, a malevolent grin spreading across his face. "Now, let me show you what true strength means!"
Crack!
His hand gripped the hilt.
"Here it comes!"
"Watch out!"
Eustass Kid and Law both shouted in alarm.
In an instant, the figure vanished, reappearing high above the battlefield.
"Magnetic Demon!!"
Eustass Kid roared, his arms rapidly assembling metallic components into massive mechanical arms. He thrust both fists toward Kuro.
"First."
Facing the incoming mechanical arms, Kuro didn't even draw his sword. Instead, he raised his left fist, releasing blood qi encasement from the Yokai Blade to cover his body. Then he punched toward the massive mechanical arm.
"Zoan's signature strength!"
Bang!!
Compared to the mechanical arm, Kuro's arm looked like a toothpick - seemingly insignificant. Yet when that fist struck, it produced a deafening explosion.
Eustass Kid grunted in pain as the ground beneath him cracked. The massive mechanical arm was forced downward by the impact, its joints collapsing under the immense pressure, shattering into debris.
Kuro closed the distance, landing beside Eustass Kid. As the pirate captain's eyes widened in shock, Kuro smirked and drove his fist into his face.
Crash!!
The powerful punch sent Eustass Kid crashing into the ground, creating a deep crater.
"Room!"
Law extended his Ghost Cry toward Kuro, attempting to slice through him. Kuro didn't dodge or use Haki, allowing the blade to pierce his chest. With the blade embedded in his body, he advanced toward Law.
"And."
"Piercing Wave!!"
Law roared, channeling a surge of electric current from the blade through Kuro's body. The energy wave erupted from the blade, extending backward and exploding along its entire length. A brilliant arc of energy erupted from the blade's tip, obliterating a mountain peak on a distant island!
This attack drew blood from Kuro's lips, but he reached Law in an instant.
Crack!!
A single upward punch struck Law's abdomen, doubling him over and sending him spitting blood into the air. The force carried him skyward, his Ghost Cry blade extracting from Kuro's chest, trailing a spray of blood.
Kuro casually wiped the blood from his lips. The swirling blood qi quickly sealed his wound.
"Zoan's signature physical resilience, combined with monstrous healing ability!" Kuro smiled.
Mythical Zoan is different - Zoan types have ranks. Ancient types possess healing and regeneration abilities that ordinary Zoans only gain after Awakening, while Mythical Zoans take this even further.
"Second."
Crash!
Eustass Kid leapt from the crater, blood dripping from his mouth, his mechanical arm reforming. But Kuro simply flexed his fingers, clenching his fist.
"Wind Coffin."
The air violently compressed around Eustass Kid, temporarily immobilizing him.
Kuro extended a finger, compressing the surrounding air into a bubble that shot toward Eustass Kid. The air bubble pierced his body, erupting inside and causing his body to tremble violently, producing a cacophony of cracking sounds.
"Ahh!!"
Eustass Kid screamed in agony, blood pouring from his entire body.
"My own signature ability."
"And."
"Room!"
The Ghost Cry blade descended from above, aiming to pierce Kuro.
Kuro vanished in a blur, dodging the attack. He reappeared high above the battlefield, standing before his two opponents with the Yokai Blade raised.
"Big Mom can do this too."
Roar!!
Flames erupted from the blade of the Yokai Blade.
Kuro pulled his right arm leftward, tensing his muscles as a malevolent grin spread across his face.
"Run for your lives!!" Law's pupils contracted as he instinctively shouted.
"Inferno Rampage!"
With a sweeping motion, Kuro swung the flaming blade forward.
Whoosh!!
The blade's fire erupted in a wave resembling a tidal surge, sweeping across the battlefield. The flames engulfed a corner of the island and the entire coastal area, creating a vast sea of fire.
Kuro gripped his sword, laughing maniacally. "Unmatched physical resilience and strength! Strategic ability and control from the Float-Float Fruit! Natural dominion granted by Mythical Zoan! And my own swordsmanship!"
"Kaido! Big Mom! And Myself!!"
"Do you think you're fighting just one person? No, you're facing something unprecedented."
Kuro's laughter carried arrogance and grandeur. "The greatest being in all of history!!"
