The True Hurricane Dragon King!
Three days have passed since the joint fleet of the Marine Headquarters and the South Blue Branch launched its siege on the Thutmose Kingdom.
Looking out over the island from the sea, one can clearly see that in the distance, the central area is no longer dominated by a sandstorm of earthy yellow, but by a green Tornado that seems to represent vitality.
Meanwhile, on the desert battlefields along the coast, the fierce hand-to-hand combat came to an end with the retreat of the navy's warships. Only the blood-soaked yellow sand and the scattered limbs, dried-up bodies, broken axes, and shattered knives silently testified to everything that had happened.
On the naval side, Rear Admiral Ivan ordered a temporary withdrawal of all troops from the battlefield about a day ago.
Because the Slave Guard Legion had simply too many soldiers, those young men with Green Collar around their necks were pouring out of the ground in an endless stream, while the number of their own soldiers was fixed, and their physical strength and condition were constantly declining.
In fact, at first, Rear Admiral Ivan had no intention of retreating.
However, after the ten officers from the Dragon who had raided Sabak City returned in the underground railcar with detailed intelligence, they finally gained a concrete understanding of the Slave Guard Legion's situation.
First, behind the enemy lines—no, underground—there are tens of thousands of able-bodied men ready to join the battle at any time!
Secondly, due to the power of their Pet-Pet Fruit abilities, their bodies can exert maximum strength. In battle, without new orders from the King Taklama, they would never rout!
Third, after Rear Admiral Dragon engaged King Taklama in battle, he did not collapse immediately but instead held him off and is now engaged in a fierce battle with him!
Based on these points, Rear Admiral Ivan ultimately decided to withdraw the warships, as continuing the fight would only lead to their exhaustion and annihilation.
The final result is what it is now.
The main naval force fought and retreated, returning to their warships to rest, heal, and recover, while the Slave Guard Legion found themselves in a state of confusion and uncertainty.
Their orders upon arrival were to do everything in their power to prevent the navy's invasion, hold out until the king issued new orders, and then leave the island together by ship.
But now that the navy has retreated, the enemy is gone, so they have no choice but to return to their trenches and await orders, ready to defend against the navy's next attack.
Returning to the underground space beneath Sabak City is impossible.
Before receiving the retreat order, this behavior would conflict with the previous order, and would be considered 'unauthorized escape' by the Pet-Pet Fruit ability, and the ring around their neck would directly prohibit them from doing so.
In this way, the tens of thousands of the Slave Guard Legion were effectively Binding to the area around the battlefield by the Pet-Pet Fruit ability.
It truly is Pet-Pet Fruit -Pet-Pet Fruit!
As for new orders, they won't arrive anytime soon, because King Taklama is currently very busy.
"Whoosh--whoosh--"
The heavy, rapid breathing made the chest cavity feel like an old bellows, and with each breath it took in, the anger inside the body grew even stronger.
"Why, why can you still move?!"
The Slave King of the Underworld was now half-crouching on the back of the 'Sand King' high in the sky, his bloodshot eyes staring fiercely at Dragon in the distance. He had completely lost control of his Wrath and had become hysterical.
His biggest change was that half of the Golden Mask on his face was broken, his white robe was stained with blood, and his right hand, which was holding the Golden Scepter, was trembling.
King Taklama remembered clearly that in the past three days, he had defeated Dragon three times with the power of the 'Sand King' and his own superior Haki.
But every time he thought the battle was over and he was about to gain a Logia Fruit user as a slave, that bastard would inexplicably open his eyes, stand up, and attack him again.
On one occasion, his green halo came within a meter of Dragon's neck!
That's fine, but why does this guy unleash all sorts of powers every time he gets up, making him increasingly difficult and hard to deal with!
"Ahem, I've already said it, justice will always prevail over evil. Your fate is sealed; you'll be dragged into Impel Down by my own hands."
Dragon, still in his elemental form, floated in the world of wind, struggling to utter each word. At this moment, he looked truly pitiful and miserable.
Coat of Justice was mostly damaged, and his green suit jacket was nowhere to be seen. His bare chest was covered in bruises and red marks, his face was deathly pale, and he was covered in cold sweat, looking as if he might lose consciousness at any moment.
However, dark green arcs of electricity occasionally flashed across his body, and his God and resolute!
"Stop spouting nonsense! What rubbish about justice and evil!" That's not what the King Taklama wanted to hear at all.
"The first time you fell to the ground, you Awakening Conqueror's Haki!"
"The second time you fell to the ground, your Armament Haki was on par with mine!"
"This third time you fell to the ground, you fucking Awakening your Devil Fruit power?"
The Slave King of the Underworld roared in Wrath as he stared at the sky filled with green Tornado; he was trembling with rage.
"Are you ever going to stop?!"
Conqueror's Haki.
This was the ability he had always dreamed of. Ironically, he had been Slave King in the Underworld for decades, yet he still didn't possess Conqueror's Haki proved his kingly qualities.
Well, this kid actually showed him what it means to Awakening Conqueror's Haki on the spot. He was lying on the ground when he opened his eyes, and lo and behold, he had it!
An overwhelming sense of envy, Envy, and extreme hatred.
That's fine, after all, the newly Awakening Conqueror's Haki is no different from a gentle breeze to the King Taklama; apart from affecting his mentality, it has no effect whatsoever.
After falling to the ground a second time, he got up and found that the kid's Armament Haki was now evenly matched with his own!
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Is this even possible?
The most outrageous thing is that this third time, which happened just ten minutes ago, Dragon did another 'sit-up'. Goodness, the entire weather pattern turned into typhoon weather, with winds so strong that the sandstorm on his side was forced to retreat and has now barely stabilized.
Although the 'Sand King' is the island's native Dust, the Awakening power of its Logia Devil Fruit can permanently alter the island's climate.
If this weren't a desert island, the Tornado would have whipped up sandstorms, otherwise the 'Sand King' would have died on the spot.
Because the Awakening ability of the Pet-Pet Fruit is to turn sandstorms into pets, the 'Sand King's' physical form is merely a clone-like existence.
Therefore, if sandstorms themselves disappear due to climate change, then there will naturally be no such thing as clones or incarnations, which fundamentally Dispel the logic of the Pet-Pet Fruit ability.
For example, Sakazuki came and turned the entire island into an active volcano, melting all the sand dunes into scorched earth.
Faced with the King Taklama's furious roars and questions, Dragon's lips curled slightly, a smile appearing on his previously indifferent face. He said, "Now, is the battle truly fair?"
[Whoosh whoosh whoosh--]
As soon as the words were spoken, a lifelike green dragon with shimmering scales slowly emerged from the endless Tornado. It let out a high-pitched dragon roar, swam its majestic body, and looked down at the 'Sand King' opposite it.
