The Discovered Black Dragon

"Little Raccoon Dog, thank you so much! Luckily, there's someone on this ship who can understand me, otherwise I would have turned into turtle soup!"

The Dragon Turtle Sea King, looking relieved, spoke to Chopper, only to be met with Chopper's utter frustration:

"I'm a reindeer! I'm a reindeer, not Raccoon Dog!"

The male crew members of the Straw Hat Pirates looked disappointed. Although the Straw Hat Pirates had Emergency Food called Chopper the Chopper, under normal circumstances, these people would not eat intelligent creatures.

Of course, this condition is actually quite flexible... Many animals in the Pirate World have a certain level of intelligence, and some are even as intelligent as humans, but as long as they can't speak human language, Luffy can classify them as animals without intelligence.

Unfortunately, after Chopper revealed that the dragon turtle was actually a talking animal, Luffy and the others couldn't deceive themselves anymore and had to reluctantly give up their idea of making turtle soup.

"By the way... don't go any further into the ocean in this direction! There are terrifying monsters there! Thousand-Eyed, Thousand-Armed Terror Dragon is in the sea ahead."

"If we had encountered that terrifying Demon Dragon, we would all have been killed. If the ocean hadn't suddenly turned upside down, I probably would have been eaten by that Demon Dragon long ago!"

As if he had thought of something, after realizing the direction the Straw Hat Pirates were heading, Dragon Turtle quickly spoke up to persuade them.

Chopper, completely bewildered, was so frightened by these words that his hair practically flew off his body. He quickly translated the message to the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Demon Dragon? A thousand eyes and a thousand heads? That sounds familiar! How interesting! Let's head there!"

Luffy stroked his chin and murmured something.

"Idiot! Have you forgotten? That's the World Government's ultimate trump card, the so-called Lord Imu!"

Usopp grabbed Luffy by the neck and shook him violently, spitting all over Luffy's face. However, Luffy didn't seem to care at all and said with a grin:

"Wouldn't that be even more interesting?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, come and talk some sense into the captain!"

Usopp looked around in a state of utter despair. However, apart from Chopper, who also had teary eyes and a look of utter despair on his face, everyone else seemed quite calm.

"Give up. Straw Hat brat isn't much like a pirate in any other way, except when it comes to refusing to listen to advice, he's the most pirate-like of all!"

Crocodile spoke coldly to Usopp with a mocking expression on his face.

Usopp instantly turned ashen, collapsed to his knees, and looked utterly devastated and desperate.

"It's over, Usopp has a terminal illness that will kill him if he sees Giant Dragon..."

The Dragon Turtle Sea King beside him shrank its head, its face filled with fear, and said to Chopper:

"It's over. Looks like your captain isn't very bright. He's definitely going to get eaten by the Giant Dragon in the end!"

"I saw countless Sea Kings and sea beasts' skeletons beneath that Giant Dragon's body. Little deer, you'd better run away with me right now!"

"When the time comes, inform Poseidon and Lord Vegapunk. Then someone will deal with that Black Dragon, which will also serve as revenge for your captain!"

Although Chopper was terrified, his fur standing on end and tears streaming down his face, he still firmly shook his head after hearing these words:

"I... I believe in our captain. He can definitely, definitely deal with that black Giant Dragon!"

"Whatever! I'd better get out of here quickly, lest I get eaten by Giant Dragon!"

After saying a few words, the Dragon Turtle Sea King fell into the sea and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the Straw Hat Pirates continuing to move forward.

In just a moment, Luffy, who had been standing at the Luffy of the ship, changed his expression slightly. He clutched his chest, his heart pounding like a drum, and frowned, muttering to himself:

"I think... I sense a very unpleasant aura!"

As he finished speaking, Luffy's lips curled up slightly, his white teeth gleaming, revealing a joyful smile. His Straw Hat transformed into white hair, and dazzling flames swirled around his entire body.

Right at the bow of the ship, Luffy instantly transformed into his Awakening Nika Fruit form, gazing arrogantly into the distance.

At the same moment Luffy's Devil Fruit power Awakening automatically, in the nearby strait, a black Giant Dragon revealed a look of hatred in its eyes and muttered:

"Nika Fruit... Joy Boy... Die!"

The ocean seemed to boil and churn, and a huge Black Dragon flew out of the sea with a thunderous roar. Compared to its size of several thousand meters, Luffy and his crew's Thousand Sunny pirate ship looked like Nezumi in front of a lion.

"It's out! It's huge! It's killing me! How can there be such a terrifying Giant Dragon?!"

When Usopp and Chopper saw the Giant Dragon before them, tears streamed down their faces, their legs went weak, and they almost fainted.

The others on the ship were also shocked. Zoro and Sanji looked on guard, Princess Vivi's face was pale, and even though she was gritting her teeth, her legs were trembling slightly. Brook and Franky looked fearful, and even Crocodile Kisame and Kakuzu gasped.

A few thousand meters may not sound like a big number, but in reality, the world's highest peak is also in the range of a few thousand meters. Mount Fuji in Japan is only a little over 3,000 meters!

A Giant Dragon several thousand meters long is so large that a normal person cannot see its head and tail from the beginning. They can only feel a black mountain appearing in front of them. And when this black mountain is covered with all kinds of eyes, it will make people feel a sense of horror and fear!

"Joy Boy... this generation's Nika Devil Fruit User looks just like him! They're both wearing the same Straw Hat!"

The Black Dragon's almost murmured sigh, amplified by its terrifying body spanning thousands of meters, reverberated and echoed in the sky like thunder and gales.

"Joy Boy? Are you talking about me?"

Luffy, whose Devil Fruit power has Awakening, has a smile on his face, but his expression is full of doubt, and a question mark even appears above his head, making people unable to help but laugh.

However, the Black Dragon didn't say anything more. Instead, it used the Cloud Dragon Claw, a giant claw that covered the entire sky, and pressed down on the small boat below.

Seeing the scene in the sky that resembled collapsing mountains and broken pillars of heaven, Luffy yelled and stretched out his hand as well. His hand grew larger and larger until it was almost the same size as a dragon's claw. Then, with a loud bang, they collided.

The Thousand Sunny beneath Luffy's feet trembled slightly, and then the entire ship was almost pressed to the bottom of the sea. Centered on Luffy's feet, the entire ship was stomped into an inverted V shape!

Fortunately, Luffy Awakening his Devil Fruit power, turning the entire ship into a rubber state, which prevented the Thousand Sunny, bent into this shape, from breaking in two on the spot.

The black Giant Dragon's eyes showed a hint of doubt; it hadn't expected Luffy to be able to put up a fight against it in its current state.

"He's gotten a lot stronger... Did he get the energy from the Evolution Devil Fruit from Laugh Tale?"

"All the energy there should be mine! It's all your fault, you thieves, who stole my energy! And cut off my energy absorption channels... Joy Boy, the D. Clan, you all deserve to die!"

The Giant Dragon uttered a few wild words, then opened its massive mouth, and terrifying Dragon Flame immediately swept across the sky, falling like a burning heaven!

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Seeing the sea of fire descending from the sky, Kisame was the first to step forward. With a massive Chakra, the entire sea seemed to flow backward, rushing towards the Dragon Flame.

Under the interplay of water and fire, the Great Waterfall Technique showed signs of weakness in just a moment, instantly being evaporated by the sea of fire. However, at that moment, the others on the ship also reacted and launched various attacks at the dragon flames.

However, most of the attacks were like throwing mud into the sea when faced with that terrifying dragon flame, and did not have much effect. It was only Luffy, whose Devil Fruit ability Awakening, suddenly took a breath and blew it out frantically that he was able to blow a path through the sea of fire with his almost absurd Devil Fruit ability.

However, after the raging sea of fire, the enormous Black Dragon, like a black mountain covered in eyes, charged straight at us. Its size of several thousand meters made its power increase to an unbelievable level. In particular, the Planet Energy caused Lord Imu's size and combat power to increase almost simultaneously.

With a deafening roar, the entire Thousand Sunny was completely destroyed under the pressure of the Black Dragon, which descended like a mountain. Even Luffy, the Devil Fruit User the Nika Fruit, was sent flying backward. If Kisame hadn't pulled him back, he would have fallen into the sea and become a water ghost.

"Mwahahahaha! Joy Boy, die, die, go to hell!"

Amidst the Black Dragon's maniacal laughter, the Dragon-Snake Heads on his neck suddenly grew, some spewing flames, some spewing venom, and some biting at Luffy with their full set of fangs. Now, with nowhere to stand, even Luffy, whose Devil Fruit powers Awakening, showed signs of fatigue under the attack of so many Dragon-Snake Heads.

Although the Nika Fruit's power is almost absurd, it is not truly invincible. After absorbing a large amount of Planet Energy, Imu's Devil Fruit power increased to an almost unbelievable level.

Even though Luffy's Nika Fruit has also grown, what he actually gets is just some leftovers from Imu's meal, which is still worlds apart from what he gets, and he is naturally at a disadvantage.

After dodging several attacks, finally, a Dragon-Snake Heads coiled around Luffy's ankle, biting his leg hard and injecting terrifying venom, Luffy's body to go limp instantly, almost melting into a lump of rubber.

"Finally... I won in the end. What Clan of D, what 800-year prophecy! I shattered it all in the end!"

The Dragon-Snake Heads on the Black Dragon's neck spread wildly, almost wiping out the entire Straw Hat Pirates. Only Crocodile escaped thanks to the Sand Fruit's power, and Kakuzu managed to avoid disaster by combining multiple Devil Fruit abilities.

However, the fact that the most important Joy Boy, had been captured still made Imu laugh wildly, finally venting his frustration at the destruction of the World Government and the complete failure of his plans.

"That laugh is awful... It seems the Devil Fruit affected this guy's brain!"

Crocodile, transformed into sand and flying in mid-air, remained calm and composed, even having time to offer his opinions. Kakuzu, standing to the side, bowed his Kakuzu obsequiously, looking like a subordinate. He knew that the one speaking now was probably no longer the original Crocodile.

Although Imu, who had transformed into Demon Dragon, was somewhat mentally impaired due to the impact of the Devil Fruit power, just as Crocodile had said, his five senses were extremely sharp. Since Crocodile had not made any attempt to conceal his words, he naturally heard them clearly.

Without even raising his head, under the 360-degree gaze of everyone around him, Imu's tail instantly lashed out, the hundreds-of-meters-thick tail exploding with a sonic boom as it slammed down directly on his head.

Just then, a dark Wormhole opened in front of Crocodile, and a flash of sword light instantly sliced the tail in two.

"Ooh!"

Black and red filthy blood flowed down like a torrential downpour, cascading down on Vegapunk who emerged from the Wormhole. Vegapunk frowned slightly, and his electromagnetic energy quickly formed a barrier, blocking the flowing filthy blood.

The Vegapunk who emerged at this moment was clad in a phoenix-like armor and held a long sword formed of lightning, clearly fully prepared for battle.

With the enhancement of this Phoenix Armor, his electromagnetic power, physical constitution, Chakra all made leaps and bounds, and his vitality became extremely active, making him seem like a real immortal phoenix from the heavens, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Did this guy take some kind of hormones? How did he suddenly get so big?! And he's become even more of an eyesore!"

Vegapunk looked at the Black Dragon, which was several thousand meters long, with a hint of surprise on his face. He remembered that back in Mary Geoise, this dragon was only a little over a hundred meters long. How could it have expanded thousands or even tens of thousands of times in such a short time? (A tenfold difference in length translates to a thousandfold difference in volume.)

Not only has his size increased, but the dense array of eyes on his body, enough to drive anyone with trypophobia crazy, has also become even more terrifying.

The eyes did not grow larger in sync with the Black Dragon's expansion; instead, the number of eyeballs increased significantly!

If you look closely, you can see many tiny pupils crowded together in each place that looks like a giant eye, like the compound eyes of an insect, which forcefully make up a big eye.

Moreover, unlike the compound eyes of insects, those tiny eyeballs sometimes move slightly, as if a large number of worms are crowded together and surging, which is both disgusting and eerie. Even the well-informed Vegapunk felt his sanity go crazy after taking a look.
