The Azure Dragon Admiral Swallowed by White Light!
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"
Although the person who was struck did not hear it clearly, many people around heard the roar full of fighting spirit.
At the same time.
Seeing Admiral Budo, who was so majestic and awe-inspiring in the air controlling Raiden just a second ago, suddenly transform into a golden beam of light and crash down, the entire Empire was dumbfounded.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the figure that was much taller than Bullet.
The man had a fierce face, an extremely muscular build, was shirtless, and had messy black hair hanging down his shoulders.
He wore a large blue overcoat and Coating a thick, long spiked club with streaks of purple lightning.
It has a pair of thick, long, curved horns on its head, which resemble the horns of a yak.
His face, neck, arms, and chest were covered with a layer of sky-blue dragon scale patterns, and a dragon tail swung nimbly back and forth behind him.
The overall appearance gave the Imperial soldiers a strong feeling of seeing a mythical 'demon dragonman'.
"Admiral Azure Dragon has made his move!"
"Hahaha, I was wondering why the Air Force's Azure Dragon Admiral hadn't made a move yet. Turns out he was baiting the enemy's Admiral!"
Across the vast battlefield, the morale of the World Government's land and air forces was greatly boosted by Kaido's appearance.
No one cares about Kaido's past as One Piece anymore.
Because he is now Admiral in his own Air Force Headquarters.
Their formidable strength provides them with a strong sense of security and confidence.
For Kaido himself, his current identity and experiences are more in line with the life he has always longed for.
He enjoys everything he has now.
As for the One Piece's goal, it now seems far too laughable and insignificant.
"It feels good, but why is he so Haki?"
Kaido looked in surprise at the spot where Budo had crashed.
The area was shrouded in smoke and thick dust, making it impossible to see anything.
However, his Observation Haki allowed him to sense that Budo had not been killed outright.
Physical Arts of Life Return level, Teigu: Armor of the Thunder God's Fury Defense.
With the added protection of the 'Armor of Lightning' and Armament Haki, the Imperial Air Force Admiral was well able to withstand Kaido's 'Thunder Bagua' attack.
"Hey, Kaido!"
"Didn't you agree with me that you wouldn't take action unless absolutely necessary?"
At that moment, Bullet's Wrath question came from below, but Kaido laughed without any embarrassment.
"Worororo~~!"
"Didn't you see how many casualties this guy caused us? I think this was a last resort. Besides, you've already killed an enemy Admiral, which is enough for you to be promoted to Admiral later. You should be satisfied!"
Oh, I see.
A few days ago, when Kaido's Air Force fleet arrived at Muer Fortress.
At Bullet's request, a purely physical contest ensued.
Their wager was that whoever lost could not easily intervene in the next battle unless absolutely necessary.
The result was that the two clashed head-on and remained locked in a stalemate for Heavenly One.
Finally, Kaido, who was taller and older, was pushed out of the circle drawn on the ground by Bullet through gritted teeth.
This is incredible.
Keep in mind that Kaido is fourteen years older Bullet.
Furthermore, he is a Zoan Fruit user, so it's highly unlikely that he would be weaker than the latter in terms of strength.
However, at the final moment of the battle, Kaido was inexplicably pushed out by Bullet.
The officers and generals, including Onigumo, who were present at the time, were completely puzzled.
In the end, everyone could only conclude that Bullet's talent was truly that terrifying.
As for the mystery behind this, only the person involved truly knows.
"Um?"
But in the short time that Kaido and Bullet were talking, he suddenly noticed a dense barrage of rockets flying from behind the Empire's camp.
This scene looked very familiar to Kaido.
Thinking back, when they conquered the 'Giant World' last year, he and Linlin were also attacked by a similar barrage of weapons, and Linlin used 'Zeus' to take care of it.
Now that Linlin isn't around, he'll have to deal with it all on his own.
Immediately.
Before the astonished eyes of countless people, he swiftly transformed from a seven-meter-tall 'half-dragon man' into a Mythical Azure Dragon nearly three hundred meters long.
"A divine Divine Dragon?!"
Just as Budo climbed out of the pit, he looked up and saw this scene: the Thundercloud he had created above had become the perfect backdrop for the Azure Dragon.
"OMG."
"What is this thing, a dragon?"
The hundreds of thousands of troops on the Empire's side gradually panicked, because Kaido's transformation into Azure Dragon reminded them of the legendary super Danger Beasts that dwells in the clouds of the East Blue, the Divine Dragon!
Kaido completely ignored their reactions and opened his terrifying dragon mouth directly towards the nearly one thousand rockets that were attacking him.
"Demolishing Gust!"
In Setsuna, a large number of Wind Blade spewed out from its gaping maw, crisscrossing with rockets, expanding, exploding, and creating a continuous rumbling sound that completely drowned out other sounds on the battlefield.
That's not all.
The Thundercloud above seemed to want to join in the fun as well.
As bursts of golden lightning appeared, countless bolts of lightning struck the Azure Dragon's massive body like a torrential rain.
Hehe~
Bullet glanced at Budo in the distance and sneered, but did not make a move against him.
Instead, he looked down at Leone, who had recovered and was trying to escape.
"Woman, you're my captive now. You'd better stay here obediently, or I'll let you take a nap first~~"
"."
Leone's face stiffened.
She really didn't want to just faint like that.
As for the idea of fighting Bullet to the death, it existed before Budo appeared.
But ever since that lightning Raiden struck her mercilessly, and then Bullet saved her, her attitude toward the Empire suddenly became complicated.
Ultimately, she didn't share Nahashu's extremely high level of loyalty to the Empire.
Since she joined the Imperial Army voluntarily after reaching adulthood, there's no question of any debt of gratitude for raising her.
As for training, I have made great contributions in the wars over the years and I never feel that I owe the empire anything.
"Excuse me, did you capture Nahashu?"
"Um?"
Bullet raised an eyebrow and grinned, "What, that kid's your lover?"
"Huh? No, it's not."
Leone hurriedly denied it, but her flushed cheeks made her words unconvincing. Just then, an intense white light suddenly burst forth from above.
[Boom!!!!]
The entire battlefield turned into a white expanse in the blink of an eye. Those who closed their eyes in time were alright, but those who didn't have time and the Danger Beasts suffered a terrible fate.
In that short span of less than a second...
Countless soldiers, Flame Rabbit, and even giant eagles and Fire Dragon were blinded by the flames and plummeted to the ground with mournful cries.
Bullet Emission his Armament Haki once more, shielding himself, Leone, and Brand's body at his feet, blocking all the incoming Shockwave.
"Is it that weapon called 'Five-Path Rotary Furnace' again? That's going to give Kaido a run for his money, hahaha!"
Wait until the white light disappears.
Bullet watched with schadenfreude as the enormous, faintly purplish-white superheated plasma cluster in the sky appeared.
However, he was actually pondering it in his heart.
How many of these weapons does the Empire still have? Even if he awakens his Awakening, he can only withstand three consecutive hits at most. After the third, it's probably uncertain whether he'll live or die.
"Um?"
But just as Bullet had this thought, he saw a cone-shaped warhead, like a meteorite, falling from the Thundercloud, causing his pupils to contract sharply.
"Not good!"
The next second, the second 'Five-Path Rotary Furnace' exploded instantly as the plasma energy of the first one gradually dissipated, unleashing a second wave of extreme white light that swallowed the majestic azure Azure Dragon.
