The God of War subdued the seas and awed all nations, the scholar-general burned the nest and shocked the Celestial Dragons! (V)

The first half of the Grand Line, Sakura Kingdom (formerly Drum Kingdom).

Wapol had led his Bliking Pirate back into Drum Kingdom, burning, killing, and plundering along the way. Intent on reclaiming the throne, he had dragged the entire kingdom back into darkness.

King Dalton led the defenders in a desperate resistance, but they were no match for Wapol's Munch-Munch Fruit. They retreated again and again, and the capital was on the verge of falling.

Just as Wapol led his pirate crew through the capital's gates and burst into wild laughter, two figures descended from the sky.

The man on the left wore silver-white armor and held the Dragon Gallbladder Silver Spear. White Reshiram Sacred Fire blazed around him, and his Admiral-level pressure swept across the battlefield. He was none other than Zhao Yun of Changshan.

The man on the right wore black armor and held a Lightning Spear. Purple-black Zekrom lightning churned wildly around him as the phantom of a black dragon circled and roared. His Admiral-level Lightning power filled the entire sky with deafening thunder. He was none other than Ma Chao of Xiliang.

Under Chen Yu's orders, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao had led fifty thousand elite troops into the first half of the Grand Line to support the kingdoms pledging allegiance. Their first stop was Sakura Kingdom.

They had arrived just in time to encounter Wapol's rampage.

At the sudden appearance of Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, Wapol froze, then burst into arrogant laughter. "Where did you scum come from? You dare meddle in this king's affairs?! Get lost if you know what's good for you, or I'll swallow you all!!"

Zhao Yun looked at the pirates burning, killing, and plundering, then at the devastated capital. A trace of cold killing intent flashed through his eyes
