Heavenly King

What appeared before them was a giant dragon, with enormous wings that blotted out the sky, a body about three hundred meters long, a terrifying and ferocious face, and menacing teeth.

Its wings flapped, and a gust of wind swept in, sending sand and gravel flying from the ground.

"Dragon."

Xia Qiu looked at the giant dragon and was somewhat surprised. The Celestial Dragons were actually possessed by a dragon.

"It's surprising that other creatures can reach this level."

The giant dragon slowly opened its mouth, emitting a deafening sound.

"Can it talk?"

Xia Qiu was slightly taken aback, then looked at the giant dragon and asked, "Are you the Celestial Dragons ' National Treasure?"

"National Treasure is just what you call it."

The dragon slowly said, "However, I have indeed been protecting the Celestial Dragons for eight hundred years."

"Protect?"

Xia Qiu asked, puzzled, "Why do you want to protect them?"

"The agreement."

The dragon said coldly, "Eight hundred years ago, they rescued me from the 'd' race of the Demon Clan, and I swore to protect them."

"Is it to protect them, or is it something we have no choice but to do?"

Xia Qiu looked at the giant dragon and couldn't help but ask.

"That's not important..."

The dragon's voice deepened as it said, "My agreement with the Celestial Dragons is to protect their safety. If you are willing to give up harming Celestial Dragons now, I can spare your life and let you leave."

"Feel sorry."

Xia Qiu grinned and said, "Now that I'm here, I have no intention of leaving."

"Yeah?"

The dragon snorted coldly and said, "Then the only option is to kill you."

"Perhaps I'll kill you."

Xia Qiu said with a cold smile, and then asked, "But before I fight you, I have one more question."

"Ask away." The dragon didn't rush to make a move.

Xia Qiu asked curiously, "Are you the so-called Heavenly King?"

"That's right."

The dragon did not deny it, and nodded, saying, "I am the Heavenly King of the Heavenly King Pluton Poseidon."

"So that's how it is."

Xia Qiu had almost figured it out.

Why have the Celestial Dragons been able to rule the world for so long?

They enslave people and other races, collect tributes from all countries in the world, and become the so-called nobles of this world.

That's not the biggest problem. The problem is why the World Government or the Navy should obey their orders.

Most of the Navy and World Government members are ordinary people.

Sengoku, Garp, and many others are not Celestial Dragons.

But why would they protect the Celestial Dragons?

The reason is that the Celestial Dragons possess one of the Three Heavenly King, namely the giant dragon in front of them.

Of the three kings, Pluton is a ship that can destroy an island with a single shot.

Poseidon is a power that allows one to summon Sea King.

So what exactly is Heavenly King?

It has objects and abilities, but it lacks living beings.

The Celestial Dragons have the character for "dragon" in their names, so why do they use dragons to represent themselves?

In this world, dragons are a legend. A Fire Dragon appeared in Punk Hazard, Straw Hat Pirates were surprised that the legendary creature actually existed.

That Fire Dragon wasn't a composite, but a genuinely manufactured creature.

But how are creatures that don't exist made?

Vegapunk is the World Government's chief scientist. If he obtains the genes of the dragon in front of him, it's not impossible for him to create a second dragon.

Especially after seeing the similarity in appearance between this dragon and that Fire Dragon, Xia Qiu felt that this guess might make more sense.

This is the Celestial Dragons ' National Treasure, the Heavenly King, and also the weapon upon which the Celestial Dragons rely for control.

I see.

Xia Dong looked at the huge shadow in the sky and understood everything.

"There really are dragons."

Marco stood beside Whitebeard, looking at the giant dragon flying overhead with a somewhat surprised expression.

"This isn't Devil Fruit ability; it's a real dragon," Jozu said from the side.

"Heavenly King".

Whitebeard stood there, his gaze fixed on the giant dragon, his expression solemn. "The Celestial Dragons rule the entire world because of it. Roger told me this twenty-two years ago, and I could hardly believe it. Now I've finally seen it."

"But judging from its size, it's not particularly big."

Marco said, "But to be able to serve as the Celestial Dragons ' reliance, their strength must be very strong."

"So Roger told me never to think about doing anything to the Celestial Dragons."

Whitebeard said, "He believed that only by gathering the strength of more people could it be done, so he chose to sacrifice his life to start the Great Pirate Era."

"It all depends on whether Mr. Xia can do it."

Marco looked up at the sky, his expression very serious.

"Is that what the Celestial Dragons rely on?"

Not far away, Momousagi looked at the figure in the distance with a somewhat surprised expression.

"That's right."

Sengoku said, "That's the Heavenly King. The Celestial Dragons have a hold on him, so we have no choice but to protect them. That's why our Navy is under their control and tolerates their destruction of the world."

"Do we have absolutely no chance of winning?"

The Empress, who was not far away, asked, "With so many of us, can't we kill it?"

Not only her, but other Marine Vice Admiral also cast their gazes over. Their hatred for the Celestial Dragons was not low, if they could kill the dragons.

"It's difficult, just like we couldn't kill that Giant Beast."

Sengoku said with a serious expression, "It not only has a powerful body, but also Armament Haki. It could easily kill any one of us."

"It can fly, making it very difficult to truly surround him, and even if we could kill him, how many people would die?"

Sengoku continued, "Ten thousand, twenty thousand? One hundred thousand? Just like you, after witnessing the power of the Giant Beast, do you still think about fighting it?"

Upon hearing Sengoku's words, the others opened their mouths but said nothing, feeling instead ashamed.

It's simply impossible to fight against an opponent who can kill them at will, knowing that death is inevitable.

It's possible that 100,000 people could kill him, but who would be willing to be one of those 100,000 people to be killed?

"So as long as they both suffer heavy losses, we will have a chance."

Crane said softly, "When the time comes, we will make our move, kill the victor, and then enter Mary Geoise."

"We can only hope that their strength is not so disparate."

Garp said from a distance, "Let us reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

"Let's wait."

Sengoku looked into the distance and said, "Whitebeard will probably cooperate with us then, so let's not fight them for now."

They awaited the outcome of the battle, while in the center of the battlefield, the dragon looked down at Xia Qiu and said, "Are you really not going to leave? My duty is only to protect the Celestial Dragons, so as long as you leave..."

"No."

Xia Qiu said with a smile, "There are no enemies left in this world, which is a bit too boring. I hope this battle can satisfy me once before I completely dominate this world. So I plan to leave."

"Then die."

Seeing that Xia Qiu was determined to do so, the dragon opened its huge mouth and spat out a mouthful of flames at Xia Qiu.

The raging flames descended from the sky, engulfing Xia Qiu, scorching the ground, and burning the soldiers who had no way to escape to ashes.

But amidst the flames, a beam shot into the sky, hurtling towards the dragon.

Bring it on!

The final battle!
