Chereads / One Piece: The Strongest Creature / Chapter 2 - Born Monsters

Chapter 2 - Born Monsters

Kahn is an incredibly lucky time traveller.

In his previous life, he was a translator fluent in three languages. One day, Kahn woke up to find he had turned into a baby and had been transported to the world of pirates.

But Kahn wasn't alarmed at all.

When he first opened his eyes, he could hear his parents' voices. After being touched by them, he could read their memories.

This ability revealed to him that he had travelled to the world of pirates.

This power was natural Observation Haki, rarer than Conqueror's Haki.

In addition, Kahn had the strength of Kaido, able to throw a nanny at zero years old.

At five, he could smash rocks and destroy houses with a punch, and his skin was bulletproof.

Kahn realized his physique was like Charlotte Linlin's. He knew he would become a Marine admiral or a CP0 agent, a natural destroyer of the Celestial Dragons' strongest shield.

With the abilities of the Kaido and Charlotte Linlin and the soul of an adult from another world, Kahn knew nothing in West Blue could threaten him. He naturally displayed his strength and precocity.

By showing his talents, Kahn, born into a gangster family, quickly gained a reputation as a natural monster.

His ambitious father saw Kahn as the hope of dominating West Blue.

Seeing Kahn's strength and invulnerability, his father allowed him to take over the family business at six years old.

Kahn didn't disappoint. Using his natural Observation Haki and destructive power, the Cross family grew from a small gang to one of the largest families in West Blue.

However, this rapid growth indirectly led to the death of Kahn's parents.

The remnants of the defeated factions, unable to harm Kahn, targeted his father, Valli, whom Ken mentioned.

At nine, while Kahn was out on business, the Vallis were killed by hired pirates.

Their deaths marked a transformation in Kahn, who lost all compassion for the natives of this world.

Anyone who opposed the Cross family would face no mercy from Kahn.

This transformation also awakened Kahn's Conqueror's Haki, a power possessed by only one in a million.

He awakened Conqueror's Haki at nine, earlier than most in the pirate world, including Doflamingo and Yamato.

By ten years, he had another epic enhancement.

Though not as tall as Charlotte Linlin, Kahn's appetite was just as voracious.

One day, Kahn accidentally ate a Devil Fruit hidden in a fruit basket.

For a long time, he was terrified. If there had been two Devil Fruits in the basket, he would have died.

Since then, Kahn abandoned his habit of wolfing down food and eating normally, as he did in his past life.

Perhaps as a blessing for surviving, Kahn discovered that the Devil Fruit he ate was a mythical Zoan, rarer than Logia.

It was the Zoan Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Beast Model: Dragon.

Unlike Kaido and Momonosuke, Kahn's dragon form was that of a Western dragon with wings.

Phantom Beasts are different from common or ancient species. They have mythical or legendary forms and superpowers.

Kahn's dragon form had a powerful superpower: telekinesis.

With telekinesis, Kahn could control wind, thunder, seawater, or float objects, similar to Tornado and Fubuki from "One Punch Man."

With these talents, Kahn stood at a peak unreachable for most, even before reaching adulthood.

Except for special abilities, advanced Armament Haki, or Conqueror's Haki, no physical attacks could harm him.

When Kahn transformed, he became a walking natural disaster capable of creating hurricanes and waves.

Between ten and fifteen, Kahn transformed into his dragon form only twice.

The second time was today.

The first time was last year when he destroyed five warships and wiped out the Marine and CP agents who tried to take him and his personal maid to Mariejois.

Though no one knew about this incident, it led to Kahn's second bounty, raising it to 300 million Berries, breaking West Blue's bounty record.

Before Kahn, no one in West Blue or even in the world had such an exaggerated bounty before entering the Grand Line.

Even in the "Worst Generation" of the later Sea Circle Calendar in 1520, excluding Blackbeard, a monster added later, only two supernovas, Luffy and Kid, had bounties exceeding 300 million.

Kahn's bounty, even after more than ten years, remains among the top three supernova levels.

In this era, no matter when Kahn enters the Grand Line, he will be the No. 1 supernova of his generation.

When the Marines gave this bounty last year, it caused a sensation worldwide.

Ace originally caused a worldwide sensation in the first half of the Grand Line before entering the New World.

Kahn's impact was even more significant. Before entering the Grand Line, he caused a sensation globally.

When various forces began investigating Kahn, they fell silent for a while.

This included the Marine and CP organizations.

If anyone else dared to wipe out five warships and a large number of Marines and agents, the World Government and Naval Headquarters would launch a Buster Call against them.

But since last year, Kahn hasn't been harassed by the Marine or CP.

Although many people in his territory are undercover agents arranged by the CP organization, neither the Marines nor CP agents dare to fight Kahn.

A natural-born destroyer like Charlotte Linlin, who also ate the Zoan Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Beast Model, what kind of concept is this?

It's well-known that any Devil Fruit power relies heavily on physical strength.

In the Pirate World, physical strength is akin to Chakra in the Naruto World.

The physique of a natural destroyer is equivalent to the body of a Sage in the Naruto world, and he was born with it.

If the superpowers of Mythical Zoans are the Forbidden Techniques in the Naruto world, then Kahn, who has the body of a Sage, is like Uzumaki Naruto, using Forbidden Techniques as easily as eating.

That means... others need to grow, but Kahn doesn't.

Against a monster that can fly, create hurricanes with telekinetic power, and cause massive waves, unless an Admiral is dispatched, sending more troops will only increase unnecessary casualties.

Even if an Admiral is dispatched, catching the flying dragon might be impossible.

In this era, Admirals are still Zephyr and Sengoku.

The next three Admirals are just Vice Admirals.

So, even though Kahn has become a significant threat, the Marine and CP organizations didn't dare to continue attacking him.

And this is just what the Marine and CP organization know—that Kahn has a physique like Charlotte Linlin and ate a Mythical Zoan, rarer than Logia.

They didn't know that, besides the templates of Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, Kahn also had Abilities similar to that of Red Earl(eat the Bat-Bat Fruit, Model: Vampire) and natural Observation Haki.

Moreover, this natural Observation Haki, after being fused with telekinesis, makes Kahn's Observation Haki, like Enel's, the only one of its kind.

In addition to hurricanes and waves, Kahn actually has a stronger hidden trump card.

This is a monster that has caused headaches for the overlords of the sea before even entering the Grand Line.
