Here you go!

Dragon gave Maffey no chance to recover from his injuries. The horn in his hand, stained with blood, flesh, and bone fragments, was suddenly enveloped by an even more violent aura.

His Conqueror's Haki surged wildly into the horn, making the crimson Inazuma even more intense, illuminating the horn like a divine weapon, radiating an aura of invincibility.

Immediately afterward, he flashed and appeared in front of Maffey, who was still struggling in pain, as if by teleportation. The horn in his hand, filled with unwavering determination and incomparably Conqueror's Haki, stabbed fiercely towards her heart!

Maffey's struggling figure suddenly stopped, and the excruciating pain in her head seemed to be completely drained away at that moment, replaced by a deadly chill coming from her heart.

She slowly lowered her blood-soaked hands, her pupils filled with disbelief, staring intently at Dragon in front of her. With difficulty, she lowered her head to look at her heart—the unicorn horn that had accompanied her through countless battles and was the most familiar to her, was now deeply pierced into her chest, penetrating her heart.

She could clearly feel the power within her body draining away like a flood breaking through a dam, and her consciousness began to blur.

Memories flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern, from our first encounter in God Valley, to my later indifference, and now to today's decisive battle...

Finally, all the images froze on the moment back in God Valley when she raised her longsword to a young naval recruit.

Then, consciousness sank completely into boundless darkness.

This is already the third Celestial Dragons powerhouse that Dragon has killed.

After countless life-or-death battles, he became increasingly adept at using Conqueror's Haki at a higher level, no longer needing to grind his opponent to dust to completely break through that strange immortal body.

Dragon loosened his grip on the base of the horn, and with a gentle breeze, he landed five meters away on the ground.

With no strength to support him, Maffey's body crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up rubble and dust.

Dragon's chest heaved as he breathed heavily—the battle hadn't taken a huge toll on his stamina, but the depletion of his Conqueror's Haki had far exceeded his expectations.

He watched as Maffey's corpse gradually lost its inhuman features and returned to its normal human form, glancing at it indifferently for a couple more times, without feeling the slightest bit of sympathy.

Once he confirmed that Maffey was completely lifeless, Dragon didn't glance at her again.

His Observation Haki rippled outwards, instantly enveloping the battlefield within a radius of several miles, sensing the aura fluctuations of every friendly force.

Without pausing for a moment, he sped toward a fierce battleground—the war was far from over, and his comrades, who lacked Conqueror's Haki and could only grit their teeth and hold off the powerful enemy, were waiting for him to come to their aid.

On the other side of the battlefield, the deafening roar almost lifted the clouds.

Big Mom and Kaido had already joined forces and stood side by side.

In a one-on-one fight, the two of them were no match for the Five Elders and the God's Knights, who possessed immortality. Only by joining forces could they have a slim chance of winning!

Their opponent was a large, square-shaped creature resembling Yeti, which had transformed and was now covered in jagged rock armor!

This behemoth is the largest among the God's Knights, but compared to Big Mom and Kaido, their physiques are not much different; the only difference is in their physical appearance!

That's why these two maritime overlords have both set their sights on this troublesome fellow.

" Kaido! This guy is even tougher than you in your dragon form, how do we break through?"

The Big Mom gripped Napoleon's hand so tightly that the veins bulged, and her voice boomed like thunder.

"This isn't some ordinary rock, otherwise I would have smashed it to a pile of junk by now!"

Kaido roared, his arm muscles bulging like old tree roots, and his spiked club, whistling through the air, slammed down with all his might towards the Yeti's head. But the Yeti neither dodged nor avoided it, taking the blow head-on with its skull.

clang--!"

The deafening clang of metal against metal shook the surrounding air. Kaido felt an overwhelming force of recoil coming from his spiked club, and his hand instantly split open, bleeding profusely.

He struck the towering mountain with a club, but it didn't budge an inch. The Yeti didn't even lift its eyelids.

That " Thunder Bagua," a strike capable of knocking out Gear Fourth Luffy with a single blow, was actually bounced off the Yeti's skull!

The Yeti's Devil Fruit ability is Paramecia petrification ability, which allows it to petrify various parts of its body, or even its entire body, turning it into a real stone while still being able to move freely.

It can even petrify any object or creature it touches, which overlaps to some extent with Pica's Stone-Stone Fruit ability and Hancock's Love-Love Fruit ability!

However, the Yeti's petrification ability is not like Pica's, where the body can move and roam freely inside the stone, nor is it as fragile as Hancock's petrified creatures or objects, which shatter at the slightest touch!

After the Yeti turns its body into stone, its defensive power far surpasses that of metal and ordinary Armament Haki Hardening. This is why Kaido couldn't do anything to the Yeti even when using " Thunder Bagua "—it's just too hard!

Moreover, once the opponent turned into stone, even the internal destructive power of the Ryuo was greatly reduced!

Because the Yeti's petrification is a complete transformation from its skin to its internal organs, every inch of its bones and every organ has turned into rock harder than steel.

It was already a solid stone structure. The power of the Ryuo seeped into it, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, not even causing a ripple. So it was useless for the Ryuo blossoms to enter the body. Inside was still stone with amazing defensive power!

A broken rock dares to block my way? It's asking for death!

" Heavenly Fire Thunder!"

With her roar, flames and lightning merged instantly, transforming into a Fire Pillar of light and fire carrying the force to scorch the heavens, which slammed heavily into the Yeti.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature suddenly soared, the air distorted like boiling water, and the pebbles on the ground were melted into a glassy state by the high temperature and stuck together.

The raging flames completely engulfed the Yeti, leaving only its unyielding black silhouette faintly visible, standing silently in the firelight.

"Did it succeed?"

Kaido and Big Mom stopped what they were doing, watching the flames continue to burn and the occasional thunderclaps.

Kaido saw that the figure in the flames was motionless and assumed that the Yeti, which had turned to stone, had been subdued by the high temperature of the flames, since the stones on the ground had melted and stuck together due to the high temperature.

"Oh!"

A disdainful snort, carrying an overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, suddenly erupted from the flames!

That invisible pressure swept in all directions like a tsunami, shaking the raging flames so that they scattered and flew everywhere, turning into a rain of fire that poured down towards Kaido and Big Mom.

Kaido and Big Mom quickly waved their hands across the area, instantly redirecting the rain of fire that was drifting towards them.

The two reacted extremely quickly, simultaneously striking out with their palms. Their powerful Haki formed an invisible barrier, sweeping away all the incoming rain of fire.

When the flames subsided, the two looked closely and saw that the ground beneath the Yeti's feet had been scorched black, and the molten glass-like stone was still emitting wisps of smoke, but the Yeti itself was completely unharmed!

"A trivial skill!"

A disdainful smile appeared on the Yeti's petrified face. His voice was rough and grating, like two giant rocks rubbing together. He was Celestial Dragons, a member of the Holy Knights; how could his abilities be ordinary?

Those are all Devil Fruit whose abilities have been tested and verified by predecessors. Only those Devil Fruits that predecessors have confirmed are powerful will be eaten by them. With this screening method in place, his petrification cannot turn into ordinary stone!

If the Poneglyph are indestructible, why can't their petrification be stronger than the seven legendary metals that can be forged into the Supreme Great Grade Sword?

Prometheus looks like the sun, but does he really radiate the high temperatures of the sun's surface? Does he really think that anything that can set fire can rival the Flame-Flame Fruit?
