When the gust dissipated, Omar looked up at the blue dragon with narrow red vertical pupils and couldn't help gritting his teeth: "Kross Kahn, what do you mean?!"
Clearly, Omar had recognized the identity of this giant dragon.
Just like King Riku said, anyone who read last month's newspaper and this month's The World Economy News would know about Kahn's fruit ability and his entry into the New World.
What made Omar angry was that Kahn had just entered the New World a few days ago, and now he was targeting him.
Omar was certain he was seeing Kahn for the first time and had no influence in West Blue, so it was impossible to have conflicts with Kahn.
In other words, the other party's eyes on him were the same as other forces, coveting his island with its rich minerals.
If he remembered correctly, Kahn was also the godfather of West Blue's largest mafia, likely involved in arms or other businesses.
So, he became Kahn's first target in the New World!
It had been a long time since Omar felt like he was being squeezed like a soft persimmon, and his heart was full of anger.
But since he was fighting on his home turf, his fight with Kahn would surely destroy much of the island.
Those crew members mining might also be affected and killed by their attacks.
After considering that once the war started, even if he successfully repelled the giant dragon, he would suffer heavy losses.
No matter how angry Omar was, he could only resist the urge to fight and wanted to persuade Kahn to leave, even if it meant paying a price.
"Roar..."
Unfortunately, Kahn wasn't even interested in talking to him.
Almost the second after Omar questioned him, the blue dragon let out another deafening roar.
Then Kahn raised his huge dragon claws and slammed his fist down on Omar.
This punch was very powerful.
It had the power to level a castle with one hit.
As mentioned earlier, when Kahn was normal, he was a natural destroyer like Charlotte Linlin.
But when he used the ability of his Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit to transform into beast form and hybrid form, he was a true-born destroyer.
The word [true] could also be understood as a [+] sign.
If Kahn's normal grade was A, then after becoming a dragon, it would be A+.
If it was an S rating, it would be an S+ rating.
This change made Kahn's normal power of breaking a giant's ribs with a single slap, ignoring bullets, even if a giant's blade hit his body, his defense, as well as various resistances and endurance, would remain unbroken.
"Damn, brat, you're bullying too much!"
Seeing that Kahn was so arrogant that he didn't want to talk to him, Omar was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
Watching the fists at the same level as the giants fall down, Omar didn't care about the heavy losses after the battle.
Now, he just wanted to use his fists to teach this brat how to respect his seniors.
Then, Omar clenched his fists, covering them with a layer of black substance visible only to those who had awakened Armament Haki. He kicked off the ground, his body soaring into the sky like an arrow.
Omar's speed was impressive, at least faster than Kahn's dragon fist.
If he wanted to, Omar could have easily dodged Kahn's fist and attacked his large target.
But Omar didn't do that.
As one of the giants of a large pirate alliance and the captain of one of the New World's significant pirate groups with a bounty of 800 million berries, his pride and confidence in his Paramecia Riku Riku no Mi Fruit wouldn't allow him to show weakness.
Even if his opponent was a legendary Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user.
Soaring into the sky, Omar punched his small fist toward the falling Dragon Fist.
--Boom!
The massive and tiny fists collided, resulting in a stalemate.
Kahn's fist, capable of destroying a castle or mountain, seemed to hit an indestructible barrier and froze in the air.
Similarly, Omar's ascent halted.
Their fists collided, causing waves in the air.
A tremendous shockwave erupted from the impact, spreading out from Kahn's feet.
The powerful airwaves shook the ground within several hundred meters, sending gravel flying and dust rising. The ground, already sunken from Kahn's impact, sunk further.
The Paramecia Devil Fruit granted immense strength, making its user capable of moving mountains.
Kahn, who discovered his natural destructive power at ten and later ate the Zoan, Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, had never encountered someone who could block his punch.
Although Kahn didn't use Haki, Omar did.
Omar's ability to block a blow that could destroy a castle and seriously injure a giant proved that his 800 million berries bounty was well-deserved.
As a result, Kahn put away his arrogance and took Omar seriously.
Swish—
Kahn's narrow red pupils flashed blue, his body emitting a faint blue light as a wave of telekinetic force quickly covered him.
Omar, having blocked the dragon's fist and feeling proud, was about to speak when his face changed drastically.
First, his Observation Haki predicted something.
Second, his body, like Kahn's, was suddenly covered with a layer of blue telekinetic force.
The telekinetic force, like an invisible rope, temporarily immobilized Omar.
Fortunately, while this binding force was fatal to the weak, Omar could break free with some effort.
However, in a battle between strong opponents, milliseconds count.
As soon as Omar was restrained by the telekinetic force, Kahn raised another dragon claw, punching Omar again.
By the time Omar used Haki and strength to break free, the Dragon Fist filled his entire vision.
He didn't have time to gather strength to counterattack and could only use his whole body's Armament Haki, crossing his hands in front of his chest to block Kahn's punch.
