Kraken Pande

Suddenly, two figures appeared on the city wall, Teach and Gari, one in front of the other. Teach crossed his arms, head held high, rain pouring down, his gaze fixed on Pande, who was also looking at him.

Gari stood slightly to Teach's left and behind, gripping his weapon tightly, watching with excitement the central guard that surrounded the rally.

Especially the two strongest guards in the very center, Captain Oris and Haocheng, he knew that they were his ultimate prey today. At the same time, he also sensed the powerful aura emanating from Oris and Haocheng. As expected of the strong individuals trained by the Kraken Kingdom family, they made him feel threatened.

However, only such an opponent could ignite his intense hunting desire, making his blood boil with excitement. But he knew that it hadn't started yet, so he had to suppress it.

Seemingly knowing what everyone was expecting, the live stream suddenly switched to the city walls at the gate, where almost the entire kingdom's inhabitants saw the two people who had unexpectedly appeared at such a solemn occasion as the oath-taking ceremony. It seemed they were up to no good.

Although the scene was quite far away, many people still recognized Teach, the captain of the Great Pirate crew that dominated the East and West Blue, the Night Pirates, who had unexpectedly appeared in the Kraken Kingdom.

"He's the captain of the Night Pirates. What's he doing here?"

"It looks like they're going to attack the Kraken Kingdom," someone exclaimed.

"My God! This Big News Morgans! I didn't expect it to actually start this time."

Unlike the panic among the common people, the captain of a Great Pirate crew appeared in the Kraken Kingdom, and they could not imagine what would happen next.

Meanwhile, the reporters hiding in the shadows became excited and started snapping photos of the screen. A pirate crew that had disappeared for a month had actually appeared in a kingdom, and at such a solemn moment as a rally.

As journalists, their intuition tells them that something big is about to happen, a Big News Morgans.

They all reacted immediately, picked up their Den Den Mushi) and spread the message to their bosses at the news agencies behind them.

"Marshall D. Teach, what brings you here? Are you here to cause trouble?" Pande recognized the young pirate who had recently gained notoriety.

Anger, extreme anger, that such a disturbance had occurred at this crucial moment. His eyes were fixed on Teach, his fists clenched, and the air seemed to freeze.

He sensed it: the fighting spirit emanating from Teach, and the murderous intent emanating from the Mink Tribe behind Teach. The Night Pirates were here to cause trouble today; he wondered what they were up to.

However, they seemed to have never crossed paths before, so why would they appear at this time?

Apart from him, all the other members of the city guard present were ready for battle, watching Teach and his companion.

The bigwigs present were somewhat flustered. The current situation seemed to have taken them by surprise, something that hadn't happened in the previous rallies.

However, knowing their king's formidable strength and the presence of 20,000 guards surrounding them, they felt safe and relaxed, casting intrigued glances at Teach and his companion.

Pande looked like he was about to take action; he wanted to personally teach these two guys a lesson and demonstrate his formidable strength.

"Hmm." Teach nodded with a faint smile. "Please lend me your head."

The air froze instantly. No one had expected Teach be so audacious, demanding his head. No one else had anticipated this either, and Teach's voice echoed throughout the entire kingdom.

"Haha, are you kidding me, brat?" Pande laughed in exasperation, severing his head. It was a joke; in his eyes, Teach's strength might be decent, but it wasn't enough.

Even pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million have been personally killed by him. Moreover, he hasn't personally taken action for a long time in recent years, yet his strength has further improved, especially the ability he acquired previously, which has filled him with confidence.

"We'll see when we try." Teach wasn't angry at Pande's disdain, and smiled faintly. "So, the war has begun."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, and time and space seemed to stand still at that moment. Even the falling rain stopped in mid-air, and the world trembled.

A terrifying aura, an abyss-like Black Hole, devouring everything, rapidly spreading in all directions, turning the entire world into a deep hell.

The Haki aura expanded to its extreme, directly covering the entire palace and extending outwards.

What a spectacular scene it was! The residents standing on the street all lowered their heads, stunned by the shock, and then collapsed to the ground.

Next came the guards; the powerful mental impact caused them to lose consciousness one by one, and their weapons fell from their hands and to the ground.

Then they collapsed to the ground, their bodies limp. Only a few guards with strong willpower were able to hold on, but as a result, they suffered a powerful mental shock.

In the western part of the royal palace, within the Western Guard's camp, the sudden and terrifying mental shock caused the guards who were still standing to fall down, with only one in ten surviving.

"What on earth happened?" Masolin and Legart looked in shock towards the direction of the Eastern Rally, where the powerful mental shock had originated.

"It's starting, let's go!" Lafitte laughed, transforming into a blood-red shadow in the rain as he swiftly flew towards Masolin and the others.

At the same time, Kos was also preparing to make his move. In the shadows, he had already taken out his long gun, the barrel of which was covered in plastic, with only the muzzle exposed.

Teach's Conqueror's Haki is the clarion call of war. In order to avoid being affected by Teach's Conqueror's Haki's Conqueror's Haki, which is released by Teach at full power, those crew members who could not withstand Teach's Conqueror's Haki stayed at a distance, outside the range of Teach's Conqueror's Haki.

After that, they cheered excitedly, took out their weapons, and followed the officers in front, rushing quickly towards the palace gate.

At the south gate, Wallace slowly walked forward, his body blocking the way for Dink and Teyera, the two captains of the guard who were both bounty hunters.

They were trying to figure out what had happened; something seemed to have gone wrong at the rally.

"The Night Pirates have started a war against you, and your opponent is me," Wallace said in a deep voice, looking at them.

At the northern city gate, Xiouyapufu, who had grown butterfly wings, Miles, who had transformed into a Human-Beast Form lion, blocked the two captains of the northern guard, Kayo and McGill, who were trying to leave, one in the sky and the other on the ground.

Meanwhile, Teach faced King Joseph Pande, while Gari had already jumped down from the city wall and stood directly in front of the two captains of the Central Guard.

Meanwhile, the crew members of the Night Pirates, one by one, brandished their weapons and charged at the guards who were still standing and hadn't fainted, some even finishing off the guards who had already fallen.

Meanwhile, in the hall, the audience watching on the screens—not thousands, but tens of thousands—were all deeply shocked.

What exactly happened?

Why have all the guards fainted?

Teach's Conqueror's Haki had a stunning and obvious effect.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you." Pande's face was contorted. This whole operation had completely ruined his rally. Now, what he had to do was defeat this audacious guy in front of the entire kingdom and the frontline warriors, and kill him. Only in this way could he reignite the fighting spirit of these warriors.

Pande's figure vanished from the spot, and Teach also left the city wall with a smile on his face. The two headed towards their target, raising their aura to its peak in a short period of time.

His hands transformed into demonic claws, facing Pande's fist.

Clang!

A burst of sparks erupted in the air, and in a brief moment of intense collision, both of their bodies were simultaneously thrown backward.

Teach's long hair fluttered in the rain. The moment she regained her balance, her legs unleashed astonishing power, and she leaned forward, charging swiftly towards Pande.

And Pande was the same; his martial art was boxing. He raised his fist and swung it repeatedly at Teach's face, delivering Jab that broke through the air. Teach turned his head to avoid it, his Observation Haki already locking onto Pande's movements.

Seizing the opportunity, just as Pande threw another punch, Teach simultaneously threw a punch himself, bending his body and ducking his head to avoid Pande's powerful blow.

With a swing of his arm, he punched Pande on the head.

This wasn't the end. Teach raised his left arm and grabbed Pande's outstretched arm. Taking advantage of the moment when Pande was still unsteady after being punched, Teach bent his right arm and delivered an elbow strike, landing directly on Pande's chest.

Then, with an over-the-shoulder throw, Pande's body was flung away by Teach, crashing directly to the ground, his body dragging along the ground, leaving a trail of gravel.

Getting up from the ground, Pande looked at Teach, wiped his bleeding mouth with the back of his hand, and frowned deeply.

He was careless and underestimated Teach's strength, giving Teach an opportunity to strike him several times in a row.

He was in some pain, but it wasn't anything serious, and the injury wouldn't affect his ability to fight.

At the same time, this rumored Supernovas pirate is not to be underestimated. Feeling the pain in his body, Teach's attacks have extraordinary power, and he also has remarkable skills in physical combat.

Seeing this, Pande knew he couldn't defeat this pirate in a short time unless he used his true power, but he didn't want to reveal it yet.

Little did he know, Teach already knew; his intelligence had long been discovered by the Tiresfa Kingdom.

"Is there some misunderstanding between us? If so, we are willing to make compensation." Pande softened his stance, showing his flexibility. Compared to Teach to the death, the upcoming war was more important.

Teach's immense strength made him reluctant to be enemies with Teach. Now that he had calmed down, he realized that he had never had any contact with the Night Pirates, nor had he offended Night Pirates. Why were Night Pirates coming back to kill him, and even causing trouble at such a crucial moment?

Teach smiled upon hearing this, but didn't say anything; he just moved his lips slightly.

Seeing this, Pande's face darkened. "Is that so? I understand. Then there's only one way: a battle." Pande had already read Teach's lips and understood what Teach was going to say, "Someone sent me to kill you."

Who else could it be? Pande had already guessed it: it was their Kraken Kingdom's archenemy, the Tiresfa Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, in order to deal with him and stop this war, the Tiresfa Kingdom actually cooperated with the pirates.

Since that's the case, he had nothing more to say.

He stared intently at Teach, a strong killing intent emanating from him—the kind honed on the battlefield, a hallmark of Pande's achievements.

Teach remained unaffected by such murderous intent.

The next moment, Pande had already rushed in front of Teach and threw a punch. Teach's eyes were shining as he looked at Pande, the future unfolding before his eyes.

He had already seen it; this punch was much more powerful than before. After the punch was thrown, a long tentacle would extend from Pande's back, like an octopus's tentacle, with countless suckers growing beneath it—it was terrifying.

It's not just one, there are several, poised to strike, ready to emerge should they suffer a setback.

Teach recognized it too; this was Pande's ability, the Kraken Fruit. It was called that because it belonged to the same race as the legendary North Sea Kraken.

In general, it is a variant of either octopus or squid.

"Demon Claw - Ghostly Blossoms." Facing this punch, and the tentacles hidden behind Pande, Teach knew he couldn't avoid it. Hidden on those suction cups was a terrifying suction force; once grabbed, it would be difficult to break free.

Countless claw-like lights flashed around Teach, blooming like a flower, but each glimmer of light contained a deadly killing intent.

Pande's brow twitched. He stared at the blooming flower before him, which sent chills down his spine, and abruptly retreated, withdrawing his fist.

First, a tentacle extended to test the power of Teach's attack. The tentacle landed on the flower, and in an instant, it was severed upon touching the flower, cut into countless pieces, and then fell to the ground.

With a sharp cut, Pande's tentacles retracted abruptly. Although the Kraken Fruit did not significantly enhance Pande's defenses, Pande possessed extraordinary vitality and self-healing abilities.

Two more tentacles extended, but this time they weren't used to attack. Instead, they supported the ground, resisting the momentum from Teach's earlier charge, and bounced backward, quickly creating distance between themselves and Teach.

The severed tentacle healed rapidly, with the lost part growing back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
