Undercurrents, the Rampaging Dragon
Hachinosu
The atmosphere on the Battlefield was like a bomb that had been lit, waiting only for the final spark.
Kaido and Charlotte Linlin stood side by side, their Conqueror's Haki's Haki surging like the sea;
On the opposite side Kuzan, Issho, and Enel joined forces to defend, with Thunderclap, cold air, and gravity intertwining, making the air seem to freeze.
The Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi were nearly destroyed amidst the roar and aftershocks, with only a few remaining huddled in various corners of the Battlefield, trembling as they transmitted the scene to all corners of the world.
Just as the oppressive silence seemed to shatter the air, a sudden, piercing Den Den Den Mushi ringtone rang out!
The sound was like a Razor, suddenly cleaving the frozen Battlefield and making everyone's hearts tighten.
All eyes turned simultaneously to the Execution Platform—
A white figure slowly emerged; it was the CP0 agent who had been ignored by both sides and hidden in the shadows.
The cold light from his mask reflected the flames, and his steps were steady yet icy.
He Den Den Mushi and remained silent for a long while.
Suddenly, the voice was as cold and sharp as iron striking the ground—
"Execution time has arrived!"
"Whoosh!!"
Before anyone could react, his figure had already appeared at the top of the Execution Platform.
Flash a flash of light, Hanafuda's head flew high into the air, and blood gushed out like a fountain!
"Thump--"
The dull thud of the head hitting the ground was eerily clear in the deathly silence of the Battlefield.
The next moment--
"Hanafuda--!"
Kaido's roar was like a thunderclap, his thousand-meter-long dragon body instantly expanded, and the muscles beneath his blue dragon scales rippled like magma!
A terrifying killing intent distorted the air, and his gaping maw roared:
"Bolo Breath!"
"Boom!!"
A blazing white Dragon Breath poured out, Sky Splitter and hurtling towards the CP0 agent on the Execution Platform!
Ice Age!!
Kuzan's figure swept upwards, and with a single swing of his arm, a terrifying chill suddenly spread!
A towering Iceburg rose from the ground, forcefully blocking Kaido's Dragon Breath!
"Hiss--!"
The clash between scorching heat and extreme cold instantly obscured half the Battlefield with steam, creating billowing mist that completely blocked out the view.
But Kaido's rage could not be extinguished!
"Navy... you're asking for it!!"
His dragon eyes were fixed on Kuzan, his killing intent boiling!
"Kaido! Calm down!!"
Linlin's roar shook the Battlefield. She stared intently at the retreating CP0 officer, a cold glint in her eyes.
"This is a trap... Someone wants to weaken both us and the Navy!!"
However, the enraged Kaido was no longer willing to listen to any advice, and his Dragon Tail suddenly swept towards the Navy camp!
"Boom--!"
The earth cracked, Shockwaves swept across the entire area like a tsunami!
Yi Xiao's expression suddenly turned serious, and he slammed his Cane Sword into the ground, causing the Gravity Field to expand rapidly, forcibly stabilizing the formation.
He asked in a low voice, "Kuzan... is this an order from the Navy?!"
A cold glint flashed in Kuzan's eyes, his voice as cold as ice. "No... this is not Sengoku's order."
Enel's Golden Staff crackled with lightning as he gritted his teeth and sneered, "What the hell are those idiots at CP0 doing?!"
In the distance, Ace and Luffy were protecting a group of heavily wounded soldiers, their expressions extremely grave.
"Luffy... something's wrong," Ace whispered a warning.
Luffy clenched his fists, his dragon eyes fixed on the CP0 agent who had retreated into the shadows.
The Battlefield on Hachinosu was a scene of intense killing intent and rage, as if hell had descended upon the earth.
Kaido, a thousand-meter-long dragon, roared and broke through the ice, his body radiating an uncontrollable aura of violence, charging straight towards the Execution Platform!
The dragon scales rubbed against the air, emitting a piercing shriek; the island trembled, and the earth cracked!
"Navy--! Pay with your lives--!"
The roar was like a thunderclap, causing countless soldiers' eardrums to ache.
Kuzan's gaze sharpened, his breath turning icy cold, and he gave a low command:
"Enel! Assist Law in transferring the soldiers! Issho, come with me and stop him!"
"Clear--!"
Enel transformed into lightning, instantly traversing the Battlefield. In the blink of Inazuma, he marked groups of heavily wounded soldiers with lightning and quickly moved them out of the war zone.
Faced with the enraged Kaido, even the most elite soldiers would only be waiting to die if they stayed here!
Kuzan suddenly spread his arms, releasing a chilling aura:
Ice Age: Fall!
Suddenly, a massive Iceburg, as large as a mountain, crashed down from the sky and slammed into Kaido's back!
The chill spread, instantly freezing the flames on the dragon scales, and sending shattered ice crystals flying hundreds of meters!
"Roar--!"
Kaido's dragon body paused for a moment, then roared and continued charging forward, pushing against the Iceburg!
Kuzan's pupils contracted, his breath caught in his throat. "What?!"
"Hell's Journey!!"
Yixiao's Cane Sword plunged fiercely into the earth, and the Gravity Field spread out like a tsunami!
The ground beneath Kaido's feet suddenly collapsed, and his raging dragon body was instantly crushed into the pit, his forward momentum forcibly halted!
Kaido was enraged. He lashed out with his Dragon Tail, defying gravity, and his Dragon Claws tore through the earth as if tearing the sky apart, still closing in on the Execution Platform!
Charlotte Linlin laughed and was about to rush to help, but was stopped by a smile!
Gravity and lightning intertwined, unleashing Shockwave that shattered the heavens and the earth!
"Quick! Take them away!!"
Seeing this, the Three Sweet Commanders were drenched in sweat. Gritting their teeth, they dragged the heavily injured bodies of King and Jack and frantically retreated towards the egg tart ship.
"Sizzle--!"
Lightning flashed, Enel's figure flickered across the Battlefield. With each pause, several wounded Marine soldiers disappeared and were sent to Law's territory!
"ROOM!!!"
Luo shouted, and the space expanded instantly, with the soldiers marked by lightning appearing simultaneously on the Warship behind Hachinosu!
"Quick! Get on the boat!!"
Ace carried the wounded soldier, his sweat and blood mingling, his voice hoarse;
Luffy grinned and roared, his dragon eyes burning with fighting spirit as he stood guard at the front of the group.
Zoro and Kuina drew their twin swords simultaneously, their blades flashing like lightning, shattering the falling boulders and clearing a bloody path for their escape!
Sanji's toes blazed with flames as he launched a flying kick at the Pirate minions along the way; the cigarette dangling from his lips had long since burned out.
Usopp's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and fired, repelling the approaching enemies one by one!
Execution Platform, Tokikake's face was grim, and Sengoku's deep voice came through the Den Den Mushi in his hand:
"Protect the soldiers... This war has been manipulated!"
Kaido's roar and the sound of the earth cracking seemed to echo those words—
The entire Battlefield is being pushed into the abyss of destruction by some unseen force!
On the Battlefield of Hachinosu, Kaido was enraged. His thousand-meter-long dragon body withstood the Iceburg and gravity, and his Dragon Claws crushed the earth, as if the apocalypse had arrived!
The navy fought back with all its might; ice, gravity, and lightning intertwined, and the Battlefield shook like a roar from hell.
This scene was broadcast around the world through the remaining live Den Den Mushi!
The sailors in the Harbor were all deathly pale, their hands gripping the mooring ropes so tightly they didn't even notice their palms bleeding.
"That's... Kaido?! He's charging at us with such a huge Iceburg on his back?!"
Inside the tavern, many commoners had already knocked over their glasses, their eyes glued to the screen.
"Why?! The navy was clearly in the lead just now!!"
Why would someone suddenly kill Hanafuda?!
In the square, children were held tightly in their parents' arms, while the young people were covered in cold sweat and breathing rapidly.
"Where are the reinforcements?! Where are the naval reinforcements?!"
"Don't be ridiculous! Those are two Four Emperors!! How could they possibly hold out with such a small force?!"
Anger, doubt, and fear intertwined, and the voices spread like wildfire through the crowd.
"Damn the World Government!!"
"Damn politicians! The navy was clearly protecting us!!"
"The navy is fighting tooth and nail on the front lines, only to be tripped up by their own people?!"
In the live broadcast, Kaido's roar shook the heavens and the earth, as the Navy fought a desperate battle.
And in the hearts of countless people around the world, anger toward the World Government is growing stronger with each passing moment...
