Quenching the Fire

In the forest.

Luo Sa's figure continued charging forward, violently crashing through anything in his path.

And the direction he was running—was unmistakably toward the warship!

"Damn it, what is this killing intent I can't suppress no matter what?"

"It hurts... it really hurts!"

Luo Sa clutched his head, waves of sharp pain accompanied by something else relentlessly assaulting his soul, driving him to want to vent wildly!

"Luo Sa, is it? Looks like we need to have a proper talk."

Just as Luo Sa was about to reach the coast, a figure suddenly appeared before him!

"D... Drake?"

"Get... get out of my way!"

Luo Sa's movement halted, one hand shielding his eyes slightly as his entire body began trembling uncontrollably!

The one blocking his path was none other than Drake, one of the Supernovas from ten years later!

"Hmph, you got Monkey killed. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Drake still hadn't noticed anything unusual about Luo Sa, and his voice was growing colder by the second.

"Move. Don't bother me."

Luo Sa let out an irritable low growl, trying to go around the man blocking him.

"Don't bother you?!" Drake's whole body shuddered as he raised the Four-Cornered Axe in his left hand and the European Longsword in his right, both pointing at Luo Sa. "You're giving me an answer today!"

This time, Luo Sa didn't reply. He was struggling desperately to suppress something!

"Hmph, looks like I'll have to pry it out of your mouth myself!"

With a roar, Drake moved his right-hand European Longsword and suddenly swung it in a slashing strike!

His speed surged, closing the distance to Luo Sa in an instant as the longsword came crashing down.

"Wing Chop!"

At this point, Luo Sa could no longer hold back. His wings wrapped in white light as he charged straight at Drake!

The moment he stopped suppressing that killing intent inside him, his whole body suddenly relaxed, and the searing pain receded like a tide!

"Kill... kill... kill!"

His eyes turned bloodshot, and a maddening killing intent began to dominate his movements, infusing every strike with lethal purpose!

Shiiing!

The white-glowing wings clashed with the longsword, producing a metallic grinding sound like cutting steel, sparks flying in all directions.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Luo Sa's long wings alternated in rapid slashes, locking him in combat with Drake.

"No way?!"

"This guy is actually this strong!"

"Drake is a Zoan-type Ancient Species Dino-Dino Fruit Allosaurus Form Devil Fruit user—strength is his specialty!"

Hina, who had just arrived, watched the two locked in a stalemate, surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Kill... kill you!"

The two figures separated. Luo Sa stared at Drake with blood-red eyes, unblinking.

The killing intent was so thick it felt almost tangible!

"Aaaaaaah!"

Luo Sa suddenly let out a beast-like roar and shot forward!

"Hmph, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit? I have one too!"

Drake snorted, releasing his weapons as both hands transformed into claws, lunging viciously at Luo Sa.

Dragon Claw!

Wing Chop!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Claws against wings—the two attacked wildly, like primordial beasts colliding, raw savagery flooding the battlefield!

Dragon Tail!

Drake's eyes flickered as his tail lashed out, whipping toward Luo Sa with crushing force!

If that strike landed, Luo Sa would be gravely wounded in a single blow!

Peck!

However, facing the attack of the Dragon Tail, Luo Sa did not dodge or evade. His bird beak suddenly became wrapped in white light, stabbing straight toward Drake's head!

Drake was startled—if his Dragon Tail continued its attack, Luo Sa's beak would likely pierce through his skull.

Rip!

A sound of flesh being torn open rang out. The Winged Gull's sharp beak directly stabbed into Drake's shoulder!

In the end, Drake abandoned his attack and chose to sidestep.

But Luo Sa's attack was too fast—it still struck him!

"Roar!"

Drake let out a furious bellow, his tail whipping fiercely behind him, sending Luo Sa's figure flying away!

"Heh heh heh."

Incomprehensible growls escaped Luo Sa's mouth. After seeing blood, the crimson in his eyes grew even more piercing!

Whoosh!

Luo Sa's figure shot out once again.

Clang clang clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang without end. Luo Sa's wings and Drake's claws clashed repeatedly. Drake retreated; Luo Sa pressed forward relentlessly.

Drake felt stifled. How could he have imagined that this Luo Sa would be willing to severely wound himself just to kill him?

As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to a hundred more. Now he had completely fallen into a disadvantage, being suppressed by Luo Sa.

"Unbelievable. That's Drake!"

"One of the strongest of this generation, and now he's being dominated!"

Hina's eyes showed disbelief, and a hint of anxiety crept onto her face.

The two in the arena were truly fighting for their lives!

"Ha! Enough!"

As the battle dragged on, for some reason, a faint crimson also surged into Drake's eyes!

He roared, shielding himself with one Dragon Claw while the other claw reached for Luo Sa's heart, imitating Luo Sa's tactic of trading life for life!

"Ah hahaha!"

By now, Luo Sa had completely lost his reason, letting out a mad cackle like a demon possessed!

Facing Drake's desperate strike, he merely twisted his body slightly, dodging the vital point, then launched a frenzied counterattack!

Boom!

In a flash of Lightning Flash, both attacks struck their targets, and both were sent flying, blood spraying through the air.

Hina stared nervously into the arena. She immediately saw the glaring X-shaped blood wound on Drake's chest, with bone faintly visible beneath.

On the other side, Luo Sa's condition was also dire—his left abdomen was drenched in blood. Still, compared to Drake, his injuries seemed slightly lighter.

Drake glanced at his own abdomen, where the wound was deep enough to see bone. His eyes grew redder.

Roar!!!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted. In the arena, an ancient overlord—an Allosaurus—appeared!

Facing the Allosaurus's roar, Luo Sa took it as a direct challenge. His entire body wrapped in white light, he too transformed into the full beast form of a Winged Gull!

But this time, Luo Sa felt that his form was far too small compared to his opponent, and a strange anger welled up in his heart.

Then, his body began to swell wildly, eventually turning into a giant Winged Gull as tall as a man.

With a flap of his wings, the Winged Gull soared into the sky.

"A user of the Bird-Bird Fruit?"

Drake's face showed difficulty—this was the type of ability user he hated most!

Transformed into an Allosaurus, he was the king of the land. But with his opponent flying into the sky, and without knowing Geppo, the enemy had already secured an undefeatable position!
