The Age of the Young!
The two opposing forces Haki, instantly unleashing countless bolts of dark Inazuma across the sky.
That's not all.
Both Ian and Teacher Kai have reached a level of Conqueror's Haki strong enough to cause real-world destruction.
He exudes a powerful aura at any time and in any place; with just a slight boost of his Haki, even a seasoned veteran would fall to the ground.
Now, as the two unleashed their full power of Conqueror's Haki and clashed, the ground atop Onigashima shattered, and numerous cracks began to appear.
"Ooh lol lol lol!!"
Teacher Kai burst into laughter.
Ian chuckled softly, letting's assume that Teacher Kai's laughter stemmed from his pride in his student's outstanding achievement.
"You brat!"
Teacher Kai soared into the air like a cannonball, his spiked club spinning, thick black Haki Inazuma extending from the iron rod.
When he fell from the sky, it was truly like a thunderbolt from the blue!
"Surtur!"
Ian reached out his hand.
"Yes, Master!"
The Fire Spirit condensed in his hand into a golden flaming greatsword, and dark patterns instantly spread across the blade, emitting an ominous black mist.
Ian was launched into the air.
The next moment.
Boom!!
The iron rod and the greatsword collided in mid-air.
A powerful Haki surged from both weapons, colliding with the opponent's Haki.
The space between the weapons seemed to be distorted by these two terrifying and domineering Haki.
A tiny, black dot, resembling a black hole, even appeared at the center, continuously releasing Haki Inazuma outwards!
A violent wind howled down, and the powerful wind pressure was so great that many of the Beasts Pirates couldn't even lift their heads.
If their formation hadn't been so tight, allowing them to rely on each other, who knows how many people would have been blown away by that single blow.
"Hey! What's that?!"
Zoro stared in shock at the sky, "The clouds—no, the sky has split open!!"
A deep chasm appeared amidst the drifting clouds in the sky.
Then, the thick clouds dispersed to both sides, and in the blink of an eye, a clear blue sky appeared before everyone's eyes.
"..."
Kuina's pupils also trembled. What was happening?!
"Here we go again."
Only Ace's lips twitched. "Is this some kind of strange custom?"
Back in the Kingdom of Goa, Hawk Eyes and Golden Lion, Red-Haired and Golden Lion, Ian and Golden Lion —three battles in total, and the clouds in the sky split open each time.
Do top-level fighters always have to go through this kind of ordeal when they fight?
"You actually learned it?"
Uncle Queen clicked his tongue in astonishment and couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of monster is this kid?!"
The Conqueror's Haki Infusion, a shortcut to becoming a top-tier powerhouse, a technique that only a very few can master!
Now, this little brat he watched grow up has become one of these very few people!
"Now is not the time for lamenting."
Beside him, Uncle Jin drew his sword, "Here we come!"
Ahead, at the instant Ian and Teacher Kai collided, Yamato had already transformed into a white blur and rushed out.
"Hahaha! Let's begin!!"
The white-haired girl laughed loudly, the iron rod in her hand gleaming, white mist billowing around it, "Phantom Blade!"
He simply swung the iron rod in his hand, and the white mist came towards them like a condensed slash.
"Flame Emperor!"
With a swift movement of his left hand, Jin conjured a large ball of flame in mid-air. With a flick of his wrist, the fireball collided with the icy slash, instantly creating a dazzling display of fireworks.
"Don't try to steal the spotlight!"
Hancock, of course, disapproved of Yamato's actions. "Salome!"
Her pet Orochi immediately swam forward quickly, Hancock lightly leaped, landing directly on the Orochi's back, heading towards the pirates opposite.
"Charge!"
Jack immediately switched into orc mode and shouted commands, "Don't embarrass Brother Ian!"
"Oh!!"
Ulti and her brother were the quickest and most enthusiastic to respond.
Jack glanced back at them again. "Kids, just stay in the back."
"No way! We want to fight too!"
Ulti made a face, took out a jar and pressed it to her waist.
Page One, Sanji, Drake, Law, Black Maria, Violet, and even Jack all did the same thing.
"This is--"
Kuina watched in astonishment as everyone transformed instantly, donning Battle Suit of various colors.
"This is our special Battle Suit! Miss Kuina!"
Sanji, dressed in a black Battle Suit, approached with a grin, "You'll have some too in the future!"
"Hey, you with the Curly Eyebrows!"
Zoro instantly stepped in front of Kuina, his eyes narrowed, "Speak if you want, but stay away from Kuina."
Huh? Curly Eyebrows?
Sanji has always had a good temper and is a very gentle child, but for some reason, when he saw this guy in front of him, a surge of anger rose from the depths of his heart.
"I'm talking to Miss Kuina! Moss Head, get out of my way!"
"Ah?"
Zoro got angry and wanted to kill someone.
"Alright, now's not the time to argue."
Black Maria separated the two and then said seriously, "Kuina and Zoro, you don't have Battle Suit, so your safety can't be guaranteed. Just stand back and watch."
Kuina nodded gently.
She knew very well that their strength was still too weak.
But Zoro was somewhat unconvinced. He pointed at Sanji, "Is this guy that strong?"
"Sorry, I'm much better than you!"
Sanji raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "You just stay back and watch!"
With that, he dashed off, not forgetting to turn back and shout, "Miss Kuina, please watch my performance!"
"Asshole!!"
Zoro wished he could draw his sword and kill this Curly Eyebrows right then and there.
"Let's go then!"
Jack charged forward with a thunderous roar.
Drake, Black Maria, Ulti, and Page One all used their abilities.
Five ancient monsters charged forward simultaneously.
With them leading the way, the pirates behind them surged forward in droves.
Are those two children also ability users?
Kuina was quite astonished.
"Although they are very young, they are actually very capable."
Violet said, "Sanji too, he's even better than Ulti and the others."
What are you still rambling on about?
Luo grabbed the woman by the collar and charged forward, yelling, "You come at me too!"
"No! I don't want that! I want an office worker!!"
Violet struggled fiercely, but she couldn't break free from Ro's grasp.
"..."
Kuina opened her mouth, but ultimately remained silent.
Zoro, standing beside him, was extremely annoyed. He realized he was indeed too weak.
Fortunately, there was still Ace--
Um?
"Ace?"
Zoro looked around blankly.
Then I only found a silhouette.
"Hahaha! Charge!!"
Ace charged forward, blending into the ranks of the pirates.
The pirates who chose to follow Ian had already charged forward, but the pirates on the other side were finding it difficult to get through.
Yamato leaped into the air, instantly enveloped in white freezing energy, and in the next instant, he had transformed into a white werewolf.
"Hahaha! Fall down, all of you!"
Buzz!!
A violent aura instantly surged from her, crushing down upon the pirates below.
At that moment, a large number of pirates' eyes rolled back and they fainted.
And when Yamato unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.
"I told you, don't try to steal the spotlight by yourself!!"
Hancock was rapidly approaching on the back of the Orochi, roared angrily.
Boom!!
The same fierce aura erupted, and it relentlessly crushed the pirates.
The two terrifying Conqueror's Haki acted simultaneously, and in just a moment, almost 80% of the pirates following Teacher Kai were defeated. Only a few true elites and pirates bearing the title of "pillar of the crew" managed to maintain their will.
"Whoa! Those two brats!!"
Queen was furious. "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have Conqueror's Haki?"
Damn it!
Besides that brat Ian, there are two other Conqueror's Haki over there!
Is the aura of a king really so worthless?
They don't have anyone on their side except for Kaido, the boss.
In the sky, Ian had transformed into a golden god, wielded his Flame Sword and clashed with Teacher Kai, who had also entered his Dragon Form.
He heard Uncle Queen's words and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Sorry, but Conqueror's Haki means you can do whatever you want!
Besides Yamato and Hancock, there are also Zoro and Ace, two guys with the potential to possess Conqueror's Haki.
Do you even understand the significance of five Conqueror's Haki on a single ship?
Even the Rocks Pirates back in the day weren't this bad, were they?
"Yamato, are you going to join Ian's nonsense too?"
Uncle Jin spread his wings Yamato.
"It's always been like this!"
Yamato grinned, launching himself forward as if leaping through the air, shouting, "Thunder Bagua!!"
The Haki was completely integrated into the spiked club, transforming into white freezing energy.
"Drink!"
Jin's longsword was simultaneously coated with Armament Haki of Internal Destruction level and surging flames as he swung it to meet the attack.
Boom!!
White mist and brilliant flames bloomed simultaneously, obscuring the sky.
Below.
"Tch, they've all been wiped out!"
Queen looked back angrily.
Behind them lay a field strewn with corpses.
After Yamato and Hancock's combined use of Conqueror's Haki, very few people are still standing.
"What are you all standing there for!"
He roared towards the rear, "Bravens! Move out! And you, Hiyori! Get your pets moving too!"
"Gah!"
The Bravens, who had been scattered and standing around the perimeter, received their command and began their charge with roars and incredibly heavy steps.
However, there was one exception.
"Yamato... Yamato..."
The chubby centaur jumped up happily and greeted his friend who was fighting Jhin in the sky.
"Oh! It's Fuga!"
Yamato busy schedule, Yamato took a moment to greet Fuga, saying with a grin, "Go and take care of the other Bravens for me."
"Um!"
Fuga nodded heavily, then without hesitation rammed his head into the three ghosts beside him, knocking them to the ground. The two monsters immediately began to wrestle.
He didn't understand what Teacher Kai said about choosing who to follow, but he heard his friend's words very clearly.
"That idiot!"
Uncle Queen was furious when he saw this. "Don't you have a brain?"
Fortunately, there are still eight Bravens!
That's enough.
"The Elbaf's Spear!"
A roar came from ahead.
Queen subconsciously looked up.
Then they saw a giant wielding a warhammer and a giant wielding a huge cleaver simultaneously bow and raise their weapons.
"Ha?"
Uncle Queen blinked.
"Hegemony!!"
Light!
A roaring beam of light surged forth.
It instantly pierced through the charging ranks of the Bravens. Yi Mei, who was at the very front, tried to block with her spiked club, but was blasted away. If she hadn't been to the side of the beam of light, she would have been instantly pierced through.
The Bravens further back instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Five Ghosts, Eight Teas, and Ten Ghosts were sent flying, barely missing the mark.
"Eh!!"
Uncle Queen's eyes bulged out so much they almost popped out.
Is there really such a big difference between the official and pirated versions of Attack on Titan?
He killed four Bravens in an instant?
"Hehehehe! Let them see the power of Elbaf!"
After using his combined attack, Solemn charged forward and knocked the still-stunned Six Ghosts flying with a powerful Iron Mountain Lean.
Keep in mind that the Six Ghosts were almost twice his height.
But it doesn't matter, in terms of strength, Solemn is actually stronger!
It's worth noting that Dorry and Brogy are capable of easily hunting Sea King the size of mountains, and Solemn's strength is no less than theirs.
After knocking the six demons away, Solemn swung his warhammer and smashed it towards the nine ninjas.
The only female Bravens quickly grabbed her weapon to defend herself, but the difference in strength still sent her flying.
"Solemn! Don't eat it all by yourself!!"
Shimir led the remaining giants in a frantic rush, shouting as he went.
They still had more than twenty men left, but the enemy only had three!
Hehehehe!
Solemn burst into laughter, "First come, first served!"
Damn it!
Uncle Queen's eyes widened in fury. "Hiyori! Where the hell is your Beast Legion?"
Only those monsters can fight against such a ferocious Giant Legion!
"Here I am, Lord Queen! I've just finished setting up the broadcast!"
The child's voice echoed atop the Onigashima.
"Children, heed my command! Attack Lord Ian's men!"
Almost instantly, roars of beasts rose and fell from all directions.
Almost immediately, ferocious beasts charged from all sides of the Onigashima summit.
To make matters worse, behind the pirates following Ian, the few ferocious beasts that had originally roamed the Four Blues with the Golden Flying Dragon also instantly obeyed the Hiyori's orders and attacked from behind.
"This is troublesome!"
Jack, who was charging forward, suddenly changed his expression. These monsters were no joke!
Even among all the monsters captured by the Beasts Pirates, they are truly beast kings!
And at this moment, the one who can turn the tide of the battle!
"Hancock!"
Jack yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Shut up! Only Ian can order me around!"
Hancock rebuked her without any politeness.
But his hands moved quickly.
He touched his lips with his finger, then drew a heart shape, using the heart to draw his bow and nock his arrow.
"The Captive Arrow!"
A sudden rain of Peach-colored Arrows instantly filled the sky, riddling the charging beasts behind them with holes, turning them all into stone.
Then Hancock turned her arrows around, and they landed on the beasts coming from other directions.
The beasts, who had no brains whatsoever, didn't even think about hiding; in an instant, most of them had turned to stone.
"Get out of the way!"
The belatedly Hiyori was only in time to issue orders, clearly not a qualified Pokémon trainer.
These beasts are not Pikachu; even if the Hiyori used his divine skill to dodge, they could not dodge Hancock's artificially guided arrows after she used Observation Haki.
After a few breaths, all the beasts turned to stone.
"You brat! How dare you turn them into stone!!"
Uncle Queen flew into a rage, transforming into a gigantic Brachiosaurus. His left arm, braid, and tail all glowed simultaneously. "I'll show you my latest achievement!"
Although it's just a skeletal model, it's still a terrifying weapon from ancient times!
You should reflect on your actions, you brat!
This is truly unparalleled power!
Hancock turned around. "You think you don't have to turn to stone?"
"Sweet Mist!"
A massive, heart-shaped beam of light instantly pierced the battlefield.
"Snort."
Hancock tossed her long hair. "What a nonsensical fellow."
Before her stood a colossal Brachiosaurus statue, and a sprawling array of other statues.
"Queen, Queen was... he was instantly killed!!"
The screams of the pirates instantly echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
In the sky, Ian, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Teacher Kai, almost burst out laughing.
What was the reasoning behind sending Uncle Queen to fight Hancock?
Can he fight?
It's impossible to win.
You know you don't have that ability.
Given Queen's lewd nature, it's a miracle he survived even one exchange against the Love-Love Fruit's power; he's probably been cultivating his character lately.
It's a pity we didn't get to see what Uncle Queen's secret weapon looked like.
"What the hell is that idiot doing?!"
He was actually defeated in an instant by a little girl!
Uncle Jhin was so angry at Uncle Queen's embarrassing performance that he wished he could just kick the statue to pieces and make sure that idiot never recovered.
"Damn Hancock! I can't fall behind!"
Yamato and launched himself forward once more.
Jin swung his sword to meet the attack.
The moment the sword blade collided with the iron rod, a layer of crystalline substance appeared on the sword before it shattered.
The iron rod, undeterred by its momentum, slammed into Jin, sending him flying.
Jin's eyes narrowed, his tone surprised, "Armament Haki used for Internal Destruction!"
"Hey-hey!"
Yamato smiled smugly, "I haven't been doing nothing all this time! But—"
"It's too hard!!"
She yelled again, unwilling to give up, "Can't this even hurt you?"
"It's still a long way off!"
Jin snorted coldly.
Did he think he was that idiot Queen?
So easily defeated?
But--
This girl's skill!!
"Charge!"
Jack had already charged into the enemy's ranks—there were hardly any ranks anymore, just a few hundred scattered people, all of them as frightened as startled birds.
"Fish-Man Karate - Secret Technique - Water Shot!"
Jack clenched his fist, his hand damp with moisture.
Then he threw a punch, unleashing a massive Shockwave with his bare hands!
This isn't a Haki Shockwave, but rather spreading moisture!
The space in front of them was cleared away in an instant. No one, whether a pillar of the pirate crew or an elite pirate, could withstand Jack's attack. They were all blasted away.
"Flame Dance!"
Black Maria's strange, hammer-like weapon was engulfed in Blazing Flames. As she spun around, it created a vortex of fire that swallowed up and blasted away all the pirates in its path.
Following her were three dinosaurs, one larger and two smaller, but equally ferocious, rampaging through the pirates.
The pirates did try to fight back.
However, neither guns nor swords could cause any damage when they landed on the three-headed dragon.
"This kind of thing won't work."
Sanji is like the wind; the older he gets, the stronger his Lineage Factor become. He's even faster Drake and his two companions.
After charging into the battlefield, he began using Shave, and his speed became astonishing.
He ultimately resorted to fighting on his legs, explaining that a chef's hands are for cooking, but his feet are enough to deal with enemies.
A casual kick is enough to send several pirates flying.
With the speed boost from the shave, one kick could send several pirates flying through the air.
Even top-tier fighters attacked him, but none could break through the double defense of his Battle Suit and Tekkai, not to mention Sanji's Iron Body technique.
Instead, they themselves were kicked by Sanji's Tempest Kick and screamed in agony.
"This guy—"
Law's eye twitched as he watched Sanji's performance. If you disregard abilities, Sanji was a whole level stronger than him!
Lineage Factor are truly remarkable.
However, he's not weak either.
He drew his sword, chuckled, and said, "You shouldn't have trespassed on my territory."
He had already opened his ROOM and casually swung his sword, instantly cleaving the several pirates who rushed in into pieces.
The terrifying scene made the surrounding pirates tremble with fear.
"Hey, how long are you going to keep hiding?"
Luo turned around impatiently.
Violet huddled behind him.
Luo gestured to one side, "Look at how your good friends, Sondra and Marigold, are doing."
Hancock's two sisters also performed exceptionally well.
Although Kuja's Haki is generally much weaker than the Haki found in the outside world, it is still Haki, and it's not something that ordinary small-time pirates can easily mess with.
Not to mention, the two sisters have a very high level of Haki; their Flow-level Armament Haki combined with Observation Haki is enough to make them dominate the battlefield.
The two sisters transformed into giant snakes, crushing anything that dared to stand in their way.
"I can too!"
Violet stubbornly insisted, pulling her hands forward from her eyes, "Tears of Hot Iron - Eye Whale!"
The tears transformed into three enormous whales, each several meters long, which charged directly at the pirates in front of them.
The pirates tried to resist, but they couldn't stop them at all and were sent flying.
These whales possess the hardness and weight of steel, and also have extremely high temperatures.
This is also Violet's only lethal ability.
"Isn't this great?"
Luo Zanxu said.
"Hahaha! Me too!"
Accompanied by loud laughter, a long shadow appeared in the sky.
The battlefield fell silent for a moment the instant he appeared.
Almost simultaneously, all the pirates, regardless of which side they were on, were dumbfounded.
"Eh!!!"
Even King, who was locked in combat with Yamato, was incredulous, "A dragon?"
A dragon appeared in the sky!
A dragon that is almost identical to Kaido's transformation form, except for its color and size!
"What is that?!"
Uncle Jin was unaware of the existence of the replica Azure Dragon Fruit.
"Heat Breath!"
Ace completely ignored the pirates' reactions, took a deep breath, and unleashed a fireball several meters in size, which slammed into the pirates below, blasting some of them away.
"Whoosh, it's breathing fire!!"
The pirates were even more astonished, "It's the same ability as Boss Kaido!!"
It's not just about breathing fire.
"Demolition Gust!"
Ace swirled in the air, unleashing countless small wind blades that fell like knives from the sky, causing some of the pirates to bleed.
"Who on earth is this guy?!"
I'm at a loss.
I'm completely bewildered now.
Is it really the same ability as Kaido?
"What exactly is that?!"
Uncle Jin questioned Yamato, "What exactly did that kid Ian do?"
He instinctively felt it was related to Ian.
"Hey-hey!"
Yamato just laughed.
What exactly is going on?
Sanji couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"It's the fruit that Brother Ian got from the government back then."
Luo told him.
"Hehehe! How interesting!"
In the sky, Teacher Kai stopped his attack and looked down at Ace with great interest. "Perfectly replicated my ability, huh?"
"The colors are still different."
Ian said with a grin.
"So Ian,"
Teacher Kai turned to look at him, "You think that kid deserves this fruit?"
Ian nodded. "Ace certainly has the potential to stand at the top of the world."
"Hehehehe!"
Teacher Kai stopped talking and just charged towards Ian with her head down.
Ace was still acting like a show-off.
"Thunder!"
He roared to the sky.
The roar transformed into thunder!
Tiny bolts of lightning struck, blasting small holes in the ground.
"Hahaha! Now you know how powerful I am!"
Ace was beaming with pride.
Just then, a bolt of lightning gathered beside him.
"Um?"
Ace was taken aback.
Enel emerged from the lightning, glanced at Ace with a cold smile, and said disdainfully, "Is that what you call lightning?"
He raised his right hand. "Watch closely, this is the power of the God of Thunder!"
"Divine Sanction!"
His right arm transformed into a bolt of lightning that shot into the sky, splitting into countless bolts of lightning that fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Guided by Enel's Observation Haki, these falling bolts of lightning seemed to have a built-in tracking ability, instantly striking the heads of all the remaining pirates who followed Teacher Kai.
"Waaaaah!"
Screams filled the entire battlefield in an instant.
Even scattered Raigeki are no joke.
The stronger members of the main force could hold on, but the weaker ones were knocked down immediately. The remaining ordinary pirates didn't even have the strength to scream; they simply rolled their eyes back and trembled as they collapsed to the ground.
"Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"
Jin's tone was solemn.
Where did Ian find so many amazing guys?
However, the current situation--
Jin couldn't help but frown.
Only those pillars with considerable strength are still able to stand.
But next they would face thousands of pirates who had just rushed over and chosen to follow Ian, as well as the ferocious officers of the Golden Flying Dragon.
Especially that woman, Hancock!
If this woman makes a move, the result can only be a complete rout.
If she doesn't target the star performers but instead sets her sights on herself, it will be even worse.
Even a single Yamato is already this difficult to deal with!
"We won!"
Below, Violet observed the battlefield and couldn't help but cheer, "The others are nothing to fear. No matter how strong Jhin is, he can't possibly defeat Yamato and Hancock combined, right?"
That's incredible, the Golden Flying Dragon!
Despite being a branch, it possesses combat power surpassing that of the main headquarters!
We are the true Beasts Pirates!
"Don't talk nonsense, Violet,"
Black Maria, standing nearby, knocked a pillar away with her club and said with a smile, "Our battle here is completely irrelevant."
Luo pointed to the sky, "The battle up there is the real deciding factor."
Violet was taken aback.
That's right.
Both Ian and Kaido possess the strength to single-handedly sweep away everyone below.
No matter how lively the fighting is below, the real key lies in the battle above.
Meanwhile, above.
Ian swung his sword, clashing with Teacher Kai's iron rod. He laughed and said, "Teacher Kai, it seems the battle is already decided down there. Uncle Jhin alone can't cause any more trouble."
"Kid,"
Teacher Kai laughed, "Your guys are really good!"
"Hahaha! Of course, Teacher Kai,"
Ian chuckled. "After all, it's the era of the young people coming up."
"Hehehehe! Let me see! Whose era is this after all?!"
The real battle has only just begun.
Please vote for me!
