Divine Phoenix Beastman Mode

Divine Phoenix: Beastman Mode

Teacher Kai had obtained the Okuchi no Makami Fruit a year ago.

In the original story, because of the conflict between father and daughter, he had not given it to Yamato. It was only when Yamato, wandering Onigashima and starving, searched for something to eat that she luckily found it.

Given the current relationship between Teacher Kai and Yamato, something so absurd naturally would not happen again. After retrieving the Okuchi no Makami Fruit, Teacher Kai gave it to Yamato.

The girl was very satisfied with her ability, and she had already become quite proficient with it.

After engulfing Hyogoro, the white breath poured down like an inverted Milky Way, like mercury spilling across the ground. White mist spread outward along with it.

In an instant, the ground was covered in a layer of white ice, and the samurai caught in its reach were immediately coated in frost.

"So cold! I'm freezing!"

"What kind of monster is this now?!"

The samurai cried out in alarm.

Though she was young, with a monster's physique and a monster's Fruit, the results she displayed were equally astonishing!

The white frost wolf landed lightly on the ground, gazing at her handiwork with satisfaction.

As the mist dispersed, what appeared before Yamato were samurai covered in frost and shivering from the cold, along with Hyogoro, who had simply been frozen into an ice sculpture.

"Ha ha ha! Just like—"

Yamato had only just started laughing.

The ice coating Hyogoro shattered in an instant, and the burly man lunged at Yamato like lightning.

How could a little frost possibly freeze him?

"Eek!"

Yamato retreated in a panic, but how could her speed compare to Hyogoro's lightning-fast approach?

A fist wrapped in advanced Haki mercilessly blasted toward the frost wolf.

At that very moment, a black shadow dropped from the sky, and a glittering golden figure blocked Yamato's path.

Clang!!

The black fist wrapped in invisible ripples struck a shield like an eggshell, and the boom rang out like thunder.

"What is this?"

Hyogoro staggered back two steps in shock.

So hard!

Incredibly hard!

"That hurt a little."

The shield cracked apart. Ian lowered the hands he had held before him and could not help shaking them out. This Haki was seriously no joke.

Fortunately, Ball Form had strong enough defense.

"Yamato, are you okay?"

Ian turned his head.

"I'm fine."

The white wolf stepped forward. As she moved, her body rose upright, transforming into a wolf-woman covered in white fur. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Ian, she complained in amazement, "But you were right, Ian. This guy is really strong! I can't freeze him at all!"

"Who exactly are you?"

Hyogoro stared gravely at the glittering Ian and demanded an answer.

"These two are Lord Kaido's daughter and disciple!"

By then, the ninjas had already surrounded them, occupying the high ground around the area. Fukurokuju, the leader of the ninjas, landed beside Ian and Yamato. "Hyogoro! Your days of running wild in the Flower Capital are over!"

"Kaido's people?"

Hyogoro's expression changed. "Has that bastard Orochi finally shown his true colors? Colluding with foreign pirates and squeezing the people dry—I knew this day would come sooner or later!"

Unfortunately, Oden had been useless!

That was why it had dragged on until they were forced to make the first move!

"Impudent! How dare you slander the Shogun!"

Fukurokuju sneered. "Hyogoro, you have brought death upon yourself!"

"Wait a moment."

At that moment, Ian suddenly spoke.

He looked at Hyogoro's furious face and asked seriously, "Before we fight, can we talk? Teacher Kai said he hopes you can surrender. He thinks highly of you."

"Surrender?"

Ian's words truly stunned Hyogoro for a moment. But the next second, he had already drawn his sword, Black Haki instantly coating its blade. "What is there to say to evil scum like you?"

"The samurai of Wano Country never submit! Starting with this battle, we will save our country!"

"Men!"

He raised his long sword high. "Let's go!"

"Yeah!!"

The surrounding samurai answered almost jubilantly.

"Die, you scum!"

With Hyogoro at the forefront, the samurai charged toward Ian and the others.

Ian could only sigh.

He was really sick of this world where everyone was so damn hardheaded.

Didn't they know humans evolved language so they could communicate?

Well, there was nothing to be done about it.

Roar!!

Flames!

A sea of flames surged forward from Ian in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, every samurai had been swallowed by it.

"Waaah!"

In only an instant, screams rose without end.

In Ball Form, Ian had almost completely lost his mobility. Even after transforming into Beastman Mode, his movements were still slow.

But even in this form, his flames had not been weakened. He could still serve as a turret.

"This!!"

Fukurokuju's expression changed drastically.

A terrifying heat wave rushed toward him, making him feel as though he was about to ignite.

What terrifying flames!!

Was this really an attack unleashed by a child under ten years old?

Yet someone could still not be stopped even by flames that terrified him!

Within the brilliant golden fire, a black figure carved out a path and slammed into Ian like a meteor.

Ian raised his right arm before him, using the shield on his arm to block the Haki-coated fist.

But even so, the tremendous force sent him flying.

The power unleashed by such formidable Haki was truly absurd. No wonder even Teacher Kai's Dragon Scales could not withstand it.

Ian crashed heavily to the ground. Just as he steadied himself and looked up, a Haki-coated long sword was already slashing down from above.

"I'll handle this one!!"

Within the roaring flames, Hyogoro bellowed.

This guy was the most dangerous! With such wide-ranging flame attacks, his destructive power was even greater than that giant's!

He could not be allowed time to attack the men! He had to be driven from the battlefield!

That was Hyogoro's resolve.

"Uh—"

Ian raised his other hand to block the descending blade. "Looks like I don't have a choice either."

Only he could deal with Hyogoro.

"Ha ha ha ha! Go, Ian!"

Yamato laughed loudly, frost coiling around her spiked club as she charged toward the samurai like a gust of wind.

"Attack!"

At Fukurokuju's command, all the ninjas joined the battle.

"Grrraah!!"

Fuga, who had been temporarily driven back by Hyogoro, roared and once more swung his spiked club, resuming his assault on the samurai.

At the rear, by the shattered gate, Kurozumi Senmaru finally arrived, panting heavily.

He looked at Ian, engulfed in flames, then at Yamato, who had charged into the samurai ranks.

This was bad. Who was he supposed to protect?

Ian kept retreating.

The power Hyogoro unleashed with his Haki was astonishing, but fortunately, Ian's defense was indeed strong enough. Even flowing Haki could not pierce it—or rather, Hyogoro's Haki was strong enough, but Hyogoro himself was not.

Ian merely used Hyogoro's strength to retreat, smashing through several walls. This guy was still too dangerous for Yamato, so it was better to get him away from the battlefield.

It felt quite painful, but he had not even suffered a scratch.

He was rather satisfied with the current situation. As long as he held Hyogoro back, the course of the battle would be completely tilted in their favor.

But after sending Ian flying with another full-powered punch, Hyogoro immediately pulled back and headed toward Fuga, who was wreaking havoc.

He also understood the current situation.

"Hey, that's not very fair."

Ian's eyelids drooped.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone just took it easy?

You're making this hard for me.

His golden body instantly melted into the flames, turning into scarlet matter that mixed with the golden fire.

In an instant, Ian became a man of flame!

His features vanished, leaving only two shining points as eyes. His limbs, torso, head, and the wings on his back had all completely turned into fire.
