The Azure Dragon Attacks!
On the Deserted Island Battlefield, corpses littered the ground, and smoke billowed everywhere.
The broken deck was still ablaze, and charred wood and mangled limbs intertwined to create a scene of death.
Blood and fire mingled together, filling the air with a strong, pungent stench and acrid smells.
The once fearsome "Tyrannosaurus Pirates" are now in complete disarray. Apart from three core fighters who are barely holding on, the rest are all dead or wounded, like withered leaves in the wind, ready to topple at any moment.
First mate Garu knelt on the ground, his Sabertooth Dragon -Human-Beast Form badly damaged, his gray-blue dragon scales cracked, and a gruesome sword wound on his shoulder deep enough to expose bone, blood flowing like a fountain, staining half of his body red.
He was panting heavily, but dared not be distracted for a moment, because the green-haired swordsman in front of him was still approaching step by step, the three swords ringing out like evil ghosts demanding his life.
The swordsman was named Roronoa Zoro. His gaze was cold, and he moved forward stealthily like a cheetah. The Yubashiri, Sandai Kitetsu, Shusui were like the Grim Reaper's scythe in his hands, their blades gleaming coldly.
Not far away, the battle was equally fierce.
"Phantom" Serina fell among the broken masts, her cat-like eyes unfocused, her left arm almost useless. A precise slash pierced from her shoulder to her waist, tearing through flesh and blood, which splattered like ink.
She had tried to sneak into the shadows several times, but was always blocked by the black-haired girl's sword intent and cut down in an instant.
Kuina stood atop the rubble, holding the Wado Ichimonji, her expression stern, her tattered clothes fluttering like a battle flag.
She remained silent, her eyes fixed only on her goal and the path ahead; her sword moved with her will, her killing intent silent.
At the very heart of the Battlefield, at the source of the storm—
"Boom--!"
A massive dragon-shaped body crashed into the Scorched Earth, stirring up clouds of dust and debris!
That's "Tyrant King" Dorak, captain of the Tyrannosaurus Pirates, and a user of the Ancient Zoan of Dragon-Dragon Fruit, the Tyrannosaurus.
He was now covered in wounds, his sternum was sunken, his fangs were broken, blood was gushing from his mouth and nose, and his breathing was erratic like a broken bellows.
His opponent was none other than a humanoid dragon beast covered in pink dragon scales— Luffy!
A fierce wind and Haki swirled around him, and his dragon eyes burned with astonishing rage and fighting spirit!
"You bastard who made me miss out on food—!"
Luffy roared like thunder, his voice almost shattering eardrums. His Dragon Claws clenched tightly, each strike carrying destructive wind pressure, each punch as heavy as a mountain, causing Dorak to retreat repeatedly, utterly powerless to fight back!
Each collision seemed poised to tear the entire island apart!
Blood and fire intertwine, rage and swords fly side by side.
This is a hunt for the victors, while the losers have been driven to the brink of death!
Meanwhile, in the high airspace Northern Seas of New World.
Dark clouds rolled and surged, lightning flashed like silver snakes, and the Seaquake trembled as if it were a raging ocean.
Amidst the thick clouds, a colossal azure Azure Dragon coiled and swirled, its imposing aura sweeping across vast distances.
Scales covered in thunder, and wherever the Dragon Tail passed, Thunderclap and lightning danced, its oppressive power sweeping in all directions!
It was Kaido of the Beasts, in his Azure Dragon Form, head held high, soaring through the clouds.
"Warorororo--!!"
His laughter roared like thunder, crashing down from the clouds and causing waves to surge across the sea below!
Immediately following behind, a jet-black dragon shadow streaked past, none other than "Wildfire, the leader of the All-Stars," now transformed into Pteranodon Form, soaring through the air, its fiery tail whipping through the sky like a crimson whip.
"Brother Kaido!" King flew sideways, his tone low but tinged with helplessness, "It's just recruiting a few newly emerged Ancient Zoan characters... Is it really necessary for you to personally intervene?"
Kaido's dragon head was slightly tilted, his expression hazy with drunkenness, yet his dragon eyes gleamed with a chilling light.
"Jin... you're just too serious."
He slurred drunkenly, but his voice still boomed like a heavenly bell, "This stuff from Ancient Zoan... I loved it the most!"
He roared to the sky, and suddenly spewed out a blazing Dragon Breath. In an instant, the sea of clouds burned, lightning flashed, and it seemed as if the entire sky was trembling!
"More importantly..." he breathed heavily, his scales ruffling, "The wind today is quite interesting."
I always felt--
What interesting things will happen today?!
His roar, accompanied by Thunderclap, swept across the heavens and earth, startling seabirds into flight and sending giant waves crashing against the shore!
Meanwhile, the Deserted Island Battlefield Tyrannosaurus Pirates had been almost completely wiped out, with only Dorak, Garu, and Serina left to hold on desperately. The battlefield was littered with remnants of the enemy and piles of wreckage, and flames licked the entire warship like tongues from hell.
--The dragon in the sky is approaching, bringing thunder with it!
The dark clouds high in the sky churned violently, and the Battlefield changed abruptly!
"Enemy attack!! Luffy, Zoro, Kuina!!"
Zephyr's roar was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire Deserted Island!
The three players who were dominating their opponents suddenly turned around.
"Click--!"
"Boom--!"
The clouds were suddenly torn apart, and a destructive Dragon Breath, interwoven with red and purple, fell from the highest heavens like Heavenly Punishment, piercing through the clouds and carrying the fury of thunder to strike the earth!
Zephyr's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly crossed his arms, instantly covering his fingertips with Armament Haki!
"Bang!!"
He stomped on the Warship's deck, causing the entire ship to sink three feet instantly, with seawater gushing out from both sides like a funnel!
"Stop right there, you old man!!"
"Boom--!"
Zephyr soared into the sky like Meteor, his fists clashing against the pillar of Dragon Breath!
At that moment, the entire Battlefield seemed to be cleaved in two by a giant god, with flames soaring into the sky and the sea surface blasted into towering waves hundreds of meters high by the scorching heat waves, the crests of which rolled with broken wood chips and floating skeletons!
The fire erupted like Eclipse, and white light engulfed the entire field of vision!
Rocks flew everywhere, the sea wind howled, and Luffy and his Luffy almost lost their footing, forced back more than ten meters by the aftershocks, the ground beneath their feet cracking!
"This is... what kind of power is this?" Zoro's pupils contracted, and his face turned solemn.
"Something's coming from the sky!" Luffy roared, his Dragon Claw claws clenched tightly, and his golden eyes suddenly shone brightly!
Just as they were looking up—
"Whoosh--!"
A blazing fireball suddenly burst through the clouds, heading straight for Zoro, who hadn't yet regained his footing!
"Flame Emperor!!"
The fiery onslaught of the Wildfire Inferno descended with a deafening roar!
"Zoro, watch out!!" Kuina roared, taking a step to block him!
Zoro jerked his body to draw his sword and parry, but it was too late.
"Boom!!--"
The fireball slammed into Zoro's chest, the scorching flames and explosion sending him flying more than ten meters before crashing into a distant mountain wall!
Boom! The rocks shattered, sending dust and sand billowing everywhere!
"Zoro!!" Luffy roared, veins bulging on his brow!
"Don't make any rash moves!" Kuina quickly stepped in front of him, her eyes as cold as a sharp blade. "The enemy is in the air!"
Above the sky, dark clouds surged wildly, and lightning bolts snaked and leaped among the clouds!
A massive shadow slowly emerged, peeking out from the rolling Thunderclouds.
That was an Azure Dragon that blotted out the sky!
Its body stretched for a thousand meters, its scales like armor, its whiskers fluttering, and its eyes flashing with a drunkenness and a bloodthirsty killing intent!
That's Kaido, the commander-in-chief of the Beasts Pirates Beasts!
At this moment, he soared through the air like Azure Dragon, surveying the Battlefield like a god descending to earth, his might overwhelming for thousands of miles!
"Warororororo--!!!"
The dragon roared with laughter, accompanied by thunder, as it rolled down!
"Just as I predicted... my hunch was right!"
"You little devils—you're really something else!!"
The blazing Thunderclouds churned, as if the entire sky trembled!
Beside him, a fiery shadow with black wings spread and a whip-like tail hovered in the air—
Pteranodon -like Wildfire, hovered in the air, his black armor illuminated by the firelight, his expression grim. "Zephyr... that old guy is here too?"
He looked up and met Zephyr's unwavering gaze.
Zephyr stood at the bow of the ship, the lightning patterns on his fists still visible, his face as cold and hard as iron. "Kaido, what do you want to do?"
Kaido, the Kaido Azure Dragon, laughed and replied, "Warorororo--What for? I'm here to recruit some 'interesting new recruits,' of course..."
"But now..."
He lowered his dragon head, slightly raised his Dragon Claws, and a gust of wind swirled between his fingers. "Seeing the state of these junior naval officers, all I want to do is fight you!!"
A sudden gust of wind arose, Thunderclouds surged, and the calm before the storm was about to be torn apart!
