"Im... impossible!"
On the battlefield of Onigashima, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin snapped out of their shock, shaking their heads in disbelief like rattles. They couldn't accept this reality!
"How could that old man Whitebeard block our combined attack? He never used this form back when we were in the Rocks Pirates!"
"I don't know what's going on, but this is clearly a technique that overdraws his life force. The Tremor-Tremor Fruit does give that old man formidable power, but it also puts a significant burden on his body, we all know that. Didn't you see he's already down? If we do it again, he definitely won't withstand it!"
Kaido spoke with conviction.
Some Devil Fruits grant great power but come with side effects. For example, Sugar turned into a child, Trebol became a snot-covered man, and Luffy's Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, through continuous development and upgrades, also consumes life force.
And indeed, things were as Kaido predicted.
If Kaido and Charlotte Linlin launched another combined attack, even if Whitebeard could block it, he definitely wouldn't emerge unscathed and might even die.
"Linlin, get ready for another, "
"Thunder Bagua!"
"Ikoku Sovereignty!"
The "Ikoku Sovereignty" unleashed by the great sword Napoleon and the "Thunder Bagua" swung by the kanabo fused and elevated!
The attacks of these two top-tier powerhouses combined once again. The Yonko' combined technique, Hakai, reappeared!
"Resurrección!"
The half-horned white skull helmet on his head became whole, the twin horns growing more ferocious. His black fingernails turned into long claws, his hair seemed to lengthen, and the tear marks under his eyes deepened and thickened, becoming even more pronounced.
Enormous black wings burst forth, covering the sky!
Sunlight was completely obscured, and black raindrops began to fall from the sky. Due to the explosion of "Hakai" and their transformations Kaido and Charlotte Linlin didn't notice.
Behind Ian, Whitebeard felt a heavy pressure above him, as if an ocean was weighing down. "What is This frightening aura..."
Almost everyone stared blankly at Ian, whose body was emitting an even more horrifying dark green spiritual pressure, his form changing!
His momentum didn't stop increasing, it continued erupting like a geyser and volcano!
The upper half of his clothing gradually vanished. Black liquid flowed from his eyes, with two tear lines extending down, even the whites turning green. From his abdomen to his legs, arms, and back, black feathers covered him. The lower part of his robe split into two at the back.
His wings fully spread, revealing bat-like sharp claws. The horns on his helmet grew longer, sharper, and more menacing.
Everyone was stunned by Ian's transformation and the intimidating aura he emitted, their eyes wide with disbelief!
Facing Ian in this form, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't muster any will to resist. Earlier, it felt like an ocean was suspended above them, with a few raindrops falling. Now, it was as if the entire sea was crashing down instantly.
Every sense screamed danger, telling them to run, to get as far away from this monster as possible, their faces filled with shock!
At the same time, he raised a finger to the sky, Green lightning raging continuously. As the strongest attack of Ulquiorra, Lanza del Relámpago (Spear of Thunder), was charging up!
A horrible Green lightning spear shot out from Ian's right hand, instantly reaching mid-air. An indescribable massive explosion ensued, like a small sun rising!
The Green Cero finally collided with the scary combined technique Hakai of the two Emperors!
Boom!!!
The shockwaves from the collision of the two immense forces swept out in all directions, and the resulting sound was like thousands of thunderclaps, deafening!
The shockwaves finally passed. Everyone watched the scene, almost all wearing expressions of tension. Ian still stood there unscathed, his face cold!
Because this was the second time today he had blocked the combined technique of the two Yonko, and he showed no signs of strain, proving he had surpassed Yonko-level!
"Even Roger back then didn't have such strength, did he?" Whitebeard thought nostalgically, looking at the demonized Ian ahead.
Roger and he could both steadily defeat a single Emperor; even if two joined forces, they couldn't overcome certain foes. But today, someone had finally succeeded!
In the next second, wind and thunder filled the heavens and earth!
In an instant, Ian appeared before the still-stunned Kaido!
"Thats..."
Sensing Ian's sudden approach, Kaido's pupils shrank sharply. He roared, trying to unleash all his strength, but then he felt a hand gripping his head, and his body was pushed back by this terrible force.
Boom boom boom...
"Ahhhhh!!!"
In his dragon-man form, Kaido screamed miserably. His body smashed through the ground continuously, plowing a deep trench. Then Ian released his hand, and Kaido's body, driven by inertia, flew upward into the sky!
Ian flapped his wings again, ghost-like, closely pursuing. His body flipped, and his tail whipped at Kaido's head, sending him crashing into the depths of the earth. Ian's figure slowly landed on the ground.
His tail coiled around Kaido's neck like a rope, lifting him to face him.
Kaido, his consciousness blurred, still stubbornly said, "I can't.. lose..."
Ian's demonic gaze narrowed. He pointed the index finger of his right hand at Kaido's chest, and a Green Cero flashed and exploded. After the light condensed and gradually disappeared, Kaido's gaze was fixed on the uniform hole that appeared in his chest, resembling that of a true Hollow!
Ian activated his soul absorption ability, absorbing the Azure Dragon Fruit and Kaido's soul!
Even though it was a Mythical Zoan Fruit from Kaido, he didn't need it, Ulquiorra's power was sufficient. Ian's eyes lit up as he felt his template fusion rate rapidly increasing again, another 2%! He was quite surprised; compared to before, this was enough to increase by about 10%!
As expected of an Emperor of the sea, possessing Conqueror's Haki that stands above thousands. But now wasn't the time to ponder why. Ian's tail flung the now Devil Fruit-less and gradually reverting Kaido aside!
"Gurararara, leaving so soon, Linlin?" Whitebeard laughed provocatively.
"Shut up, Whitebeard, we'll continue next time!" Charlotte Linlin shouted angrily. "Ma-ma-ma-ma, and you over there, Black-Winged Devil boy, I'll let you off this time."
On the other side, before fleeing, Charlotte Linlin didn't forget to hurl threats. As she spoke, she was already stepping on the thundercloud Zeus, soaring into the sky to escape!
"Big Mom, did I say you could leave? I don't have a habit of letting enemies escape twice!"
Ian placed his hands in front of his abdomen, his ten fingers facing each other. A bright emerald-green light appeared in his palms, and a terrifying power continued to gather!
"Lanza del Relámpago!"
Then he pulled his hands apart to the sides. A spiritual spear, with both ends seemingly burning with emerald-green flames, appeared in Ian's hands. Ian raised the Spear of Thunder with his right hand, then threw it towards Charlotte Linlin, tearing through the air!
Immediately, a dazzling emerald-green light enveloped Charlotte Linlin in the distant sky. The shockwave visibly spread out around her, and everyone's faces changed dramatically!
"Damn it! Don't push me too... Ah!" Charlotte Linlin's shrill scream resounded again.
Enduring intense pain, Charlotte Linlin swung her Emperor's Sword Napoleon towards a certain building below, unleashing a slash. "Ikoku Sovereignty!"
Boom boom boom boom boom...
Earth-shattering explosions shook the island. With Charlotte Linlin's final attack, the Beast Pirates' armory on Onigashima fully detonated, causing a terrifying chain explosion that threatened to destroy everything!
Even Ian couldn't ignore such a massive explosion, especially since a non-flying Whitebeard was still on the island. Even if he could avoid the blast, once Onigashima completely sank, the non-swimming Whitebeard would be doomed without a foothold!
The dignified Emperor Whitebeard, the world's strongest man, if he were drowned by the sea, that would be the biggest joke of this pirate era!
Activating Sonído, Ian appeared beside Whitebeard, grabbed his shoulder, and before the explosion reached them, shot straight into the sky with him!
"Gurarara... cough cough!"
"Thank you very much!" Whitebeard didn't stand on ceremony and thanked Ian directly for his assistance.
"Don't mention it; we're allies after all!" Ian said casually.
Whitebeard was still in shock, looking at Ian, who had effortlessly dealt with two Emperors.
Is this really something a human can do?
"Father! Ian!"
A blue flame streaked across the sky, it was Marco in his phoenix form. Seeing that Whitebeard and Ian were relatively unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back then!" Ian nodded, taking Whitebeard back toward the Moby Dick.
Meanwhile, the explosion of Onigashima reached its peak. The entire island exploded at this moment, then was engulfed by surging sea waves, disappearing without a trace. It wasn't until who knows how long later that the terrifying explosion finally subsided, and calm was restored!
Now, on the Moby Dick, a battle was also unfolding. She wore a loose sleeveless kimono, with a nio-danguri sash tied around her waist, and a hannya mask on her face!
She was tall, with gradient blue-green hair shimmering with a pale silver glow. "Bastard! Who the hell are you?" the samurai pirates shouted angrily!
Each wielded their own katana, mercilessly slashing at the intruder.
Clang clang!
Ripples of intense shockwaves emerged in the sky!
The white-haired intruder wielded a kanabo with both hands, moving with exquisite skill and impenetrable defense, creating fierce shockwaves that blew away the approaching samurai. She controlled her strength well, blowing them away without causing harm!
"I have no intention of fighting! I've already told you many times about my identity and name!"
"My name is Kozuki Oden!"
She spoke in a deliberately hoarse voice.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you claiming to be my father?" Kozuki Hiyori pursed her lips, her pretty face showing displeasure.
After all, Kozuki Oden was her father and had died eighteen years ago... And now someone claimed to be Oden!
How could she tolerate this? Naturally, this included the retainers who followed him to death, as well as the Whitebeard Pirates who regarded him as family!
"Shut up! Even a joke has its limits! How could someone like you impersonate Lord Oden! To toy with us like this is utterly unforgivable!" Hearing the other party repeatedly claim to be Kozuki Oden, impersonating their lord!
The samurai were beyond furious, wishing to slay this inexplicable imposter on the spot. However, facing the powerful "Kozuki Oden," ordinary samurai were no match and were blown away again and again!
"Lady Hiyori, that inexplicable bastard keeps claiming to be Lord Oden. This is a desecration of Lord Oden and absolutely unforgivable!"
A samurai shouted indignantly!
Swish swish swish... The gazes of Kawamatsu, Hiyori, and others all locked onto "Kozuki Oden"!
"Hahahaha..." Kappa Kawamatsu suddenly looked up and laughed, his laughter filled with intense anger. His right hand rested on his beloved sword, Soto Musou. "This is your last chance. Who exactly are you?"
"I am Kozuki Oden!!!"
"Kozuki Oden" replied without hesitation!
"Stubborn fool! Then allow me to reveal your true identity!" A sharp glint flashed in Kawamatsu's eyes. He spoke no more, no longer asking!
His beloved sword at his waist instantly unsheathed, bringing forth a chilling light as he charged toward "Kozuki Oden." "Kappa Style: Towering Sakura... Mitanmo River..."
Kawamatsu's self-created Kappa Style ultimate move exploded!
His body suddenly spun, transforming into a tornado-like whirlwind, charging toward "Kozuki Oden." Facing the powerful Red Scabbard Kawamatsu, "Kozuki Oden" could no longer remain composed. She gripped her kanabo with both hands, then swung it out!
"Thunder, Bagua!!!"
