In the New World, this "strongest sea," Doflamingo not only makes deals with the Four Emperors, but also sells his arms to countless warring nations and sea lords vying for territory.

Almost every powerful sea creature, or sea creature seeking survival in the New World, acquires weapons and ammunition.

Just as Doflamingo said, his intelligence network is absolutely terrifying.

This is why Arthur chose to help him.

With information about Doflamingo, Arthur began his hunting expedition.

Over the past three months, he has annihilated at least fifteen Sea Kings. This news, once it spread, made the already invincible World's Greatest Swordsman, 'King of Knights', shine even brighter.

Starlight and hostility, like a magnet, were drawn to Arthur, who radiated light...

At this moment, Arthur bears a striking resemblance to Patrick Redfield, the "Red the Aloof" of the previous era.

He alone is almost on par with the Four Emperors.

Now all that's missing is a victory that will be recognized by the world!

If news of Kaido's defeat were to spread, Arthur's reputation would undoubtedly rise to that of a new generation of "lonely Red," rivaling that of any of the Four Emperors.

But Arthur disdained to do such a thing, and no one dared to ask Kaido.

"Bru bru..." At that moment, the Den Den Mushi on Arthur's wrist suddenly made a sound.

"Moshi moshi..." The call connected, and Doflamingo's voice came from the other end. The Den Den Mushi mirrored his expression, and he said in a deep voice, "King of Knights! Kaido's Flankers have begun their operation!"

"They've finally arrived? Who's sent this time? Kaido, or All-Stars?" Arthur asked without any surprise. Doflamingo had told him three months ago that his trade with Kaido Tribute Company was every four months.

These next few days will be the time for the transaction.

"It's the All-Stars, 'Drought' Jack!" Doflamingo said.

"As expected of Kaido's confidant, you were absolutely right! I'll go take care of him right away, and then we'll begin our plan," Arthur said calmly.

1.3 "I'm counting on you, King of Knights!"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Arthur took out a slightly moving Vivre Card from his pocket. It was the Vivre Card of Jack Drought, one of Kaido's All-Stars Drought.

Kaido occasionally comes over to discuss the trade of Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits, especially when he's in a good mood, since it's related to his dream.

If Kaido doesn't come, Jack the Drought will be in charge of most of the handover.

For convenience, both 'Drought' Jack and Doflamingo have exchanged Vivre Cards.

With this Vivre Card, Arthur can intercept 'Drought' Jack before the trade even begins.

Given Jack the Drought's strength and abilities, if a war were to break out in Dressrosa, he would definitely destroy the island.

Chapter 193 Annihilation in One Move

[Second update!!]

With Jack the Drought's strength and his Zoan -type Ancient Zoan -type Elephant-Elephant Fruit -Elephant Fruit ability (Mammoth Form), if a war were to break out in Dressrosa, he would definitely destroy the island.

Doflamingo, who sees Dressrosa as his trump card for survival, naturally wouldn't allow the island to be destroyed.

Therefore, Doflamingo arranged for this transaction to take place on an island.

As for Arthur and Doflamingo's plan, before Jack the Drought arrived at the trading location, Arthur was responsible for killing Jack the Drought, and then Doflamingo was responsible for fabricating lies afterward, blaming Whitebeard for Jack the Drought's death, and incidentally telling people about Tontatta 'Mansherry Heal-Heal Fruit.

Whitebeard reclaims his throne and will target Kaido; Jack Drought is merely a welcoming gift.

At that time, Kaido, being a battle maniac, would be driven by the deaths of his subordinates, the loss of artificial Zoan Devil Fruit, the loss of the Little 17 humans, and even Whitebeard's return to his peak strength. All of these factors would lead this madman to willingly walk into Doflamingo's trap, filled with passionate excitement and rage, to go and fight Whitebeard.

Regardless of victory or defeat, Kaido will consider Whitebeard his primary target for a long time to come.

Forget about the King of Knights, Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits, Doflamingo...

The New World, an uninhabited island called 'Rosasayara'.

This is the agreed-upon meeting place between Doflamingo and Jack the Drought.

Outside the beach, on the sea with many reefs, a huge sailboat was moored, with the Kaido's Flag flying from its mast.

At the heart of the island, atop a towering mountain.

"Lord Jack, we haven't spotted any Donquixote Family ships yet." A strangely shaped man put down his monocular telescope and reported loudly to 'Drought' Jack, who was standing not far away.

"Hmph... wait a little longer!"

He was a burly man with a ponytail and two braids, a metal jaw, two ivory-like ornaments on his head and shoulders, and spiked rivets in his ears. He was dressed in a feather-like coat. 'Drought' Jack glanced down at the Den Den Mushi he was holding in his palm and snorted coldly.

"Jack... Lord Jack, look at the sky..."

Just as Jack was waiting, the two men standing behind him, 'Sheepshead' and 'Ginrummy', suddenly pointed to the sky, as if Sheepshead had discovered something amazing, and said in a trembling voice.

"Pegasus..." The woman, 'Ginrummy', also had her pupils constrict.

"Hey..."

Upon hearing this, Jack looked up, his eyes instantly turning fierce. He bared his thick lips, revealing two rows of serrated teeth, and grinned menacingly, saying, "Pegasus, the King of Knights... the person the boss has been searching for, we've actually run into him."

"Lord Jack, isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Ginrummy said with concern, "We just happened to be trading with 'Heavenly Yaksha' here, and this 'King of Knights' just happened to show up."

"That makes sense. This is such an important trading location; Doflamingo couldn't possibly have left no spies here," Sheepshead chimed in. "Not only is the deal late, but this guy has been incredibly active lately, destroying over a dozen well-known Sea King of Knights in the New World, including several who fought against us. Captain has been searching for him for half a year without success, yet he just happens to appear here. That's far too unusual."

"Hmph, why bother with all that?" 'Drought' Jack said coldly and bluntly without thinking, "Since we've run into him, let's take him back and let the boss deal with him."

"Wait... what is he doing?!" Ginrummy exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Jack and Sheepshead both looked over, their pupils shrinking.

Meanwhile, high in the sky a dozen nautical miles away from the uninhabited island of 'Rosasayara'.

Arthur gripped the reins, gazing at the mountains a dozen nautical miles ahead, and muttered to himself, "Am I too late?"

Before even getting close to 'Rosasayara', Arthur's Observation Haki (A++) had already detected Jack and his group.

Despite riding the "Don Starion" and using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power, he still couldn't arrive here before Jack.

It seems that defeating them at sea is not an option.

'Sizzle sizzle...'

So Arthur took the reins and brought the King's Horse, which was treading on air, to a stop.

Reaching out to grab the air, golden light condensed into a slender, silvery-white Holy Lance, with wisps of electric arcs flashing and the sound of currents clashing resounding throughout.

Before long, a blue and white aura emanated from the Holy Lance, expanding and dissipating.

In the next instant, the Holy Lance transformed into a pillar of lightning, entirely blue and white.

347

'Whoosh-- Boom!'

Holding the lightning bolt in his hand, Arthur hurled it toward the peak of 'Rosasayara'.

In an instant, a beam of blue and white light shot out.

Like an invincible sharpshooter, he pulled the trigger on the target from a distance of more than ten nautical miles.

The lightning bolt produced a deafening sonic boom, its tip carrying a layer of transparent white air shield, and shot towards 'Rosasayara' at an astonishing speed.

"Get out of the way! Jump down!"

As the beam of light drew ever closer, transforming from a single point into a blue-white beam hundreds of times stronger than Kizaru's laser, even Jack, known for his decisiveness, courage, and recklessness, paled and roared without hesitation.

After speaking, the leader jumped off the cliff.

Sheepshead and Ginrummy followed closely behind, and the others, seeing this, also jumped down without hesitation.

'Boom--!'

The next moment, a deafening roar resounded throughout the area.

The mountaintop was shattered by a beam of light, and a blue-white transparent gas shield spread out like nuclear radiation, affecting an area of several miles around the center of the incident.

A massive mushroom cloud rose into the air.

Chapter 194 Jack the Drought Who Was Instantly Killed

[Third update!!]

The enormous mushroom cloud was clearly visible even from more than ten nautical miles away.

High in the sky, Arthur rode his King's Horse towards the island of 'Rosasayara' while unleashing his Observation Haki to keep a close eye on Jack and his companions.

The '200 Million Volt Thunder Spear's is so powerful that it can easily level a mountain peak, and if it were thrown down onto an island, it would be more than capable of destroying half of the island.

If hit head-on, the person will be instantly pierced by the Holy Lance, and the Lightning Power and heat will instantly blast them into ashes.

After an outbreak, it will affect people in the surrounding area, just like nuclear radiation.

While it may not be as powerful as 'True Name Release', it is more convenient.

This move can even break through Kaido's abnormal defense; it's one of Arthur's trump cards.

The mushroom cloud, interspersed with electric arcs and orange-red flames, persisted for quite some time before slowly dissipating.

Meanwhile, Arthur, riding his King's Horse, arrived at the island of 'Rosasayara', above the leveled mountains.

In his perception, the originally numerous life fluctuations had now dwindled to a single, intense fluctuation.

Needless to say, 'Drought' Jack survived.

"Moo~ Lulululu..."

From below, shrouded in dust and mist, suddenly came the roar of an elephant, the piercing infrasound waves causing eardrum pain.

'Boom!'

A dark shadow, like an inflating balloon, broke through the dust and fog, growing enormous at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, an incredibly large mammoth appeared.

No matter where you are, you can see that mammoth, which is taller than the mountain peak.

"Moo~~" After the enormous mammoth appeared, its pair of ferocious eyes instantly locked onto Arthur in the sky. Its thick trunk immediately rose and swung towards Arthur with a suppressed sonic boom.

'Swish--'

Faced with the oncoming mammoth's trunk, Arthur and his King's Horse vanished in a streak of blue and white Inazuma, causing the mammoth's attack to miss its mark.

When Arthur reappeared, he was already on the other side of the mammoth, holding the reins in one hand and not intending to dismount from the King's Horse, his demeanor filled with contempt for Jack the Drought.

'100 Million Volts - Divine Judgment!'

The other hand crackled with lightning, and the blue-white wrist detached, transforming into a massive bolt of lightning that shot out.

"Moo~ Lulu..."

The lightning bolt struck the mammoth, creating a dazzling burst of sparks.

Whether it was anger or pain, the mammoth's eyes were bloodshot, and it let out a loud, booming roar.

He turned and swung his trunk at Arthur with incredible speed.

'Swish--'

Faced with this attack, Arthur and King's Horse transformed into Inazuma and teleported to the other side of the mammoth.

"Is this the Devil Fruit Awakening of an Ancient Zoan Zoan -type Devil Fruit?" Arthur muttered to himself, stroking his chin.

The '100 Million Volts - Divine Judgment's that just hit the mammoth's body head-on didn't cause much damage, only leaving a charred mark. It didn't even break through the mammoth's defenses.

This level of defense is naturally incomparable to that of Kaido, the "Beasts," but it still demonstrates the defensive power of an Ancient Zoan Zoan's "Devil Fruit Awakening."

It truly lives up to its reputation as an ability even rarer than Logia Mythical Zoan.
