Who Was the True Azure Dragon?

The sea breeze suddenly became violent, and a giant dragon hundreds of meters long coiled in the air.

Kaido arrived alone on the Moby Dick, without any subordinates, and ordered Whitebeard, the World's Strongest Man, to hand over the Azure Dragon!

This scene immediately enraged all the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Ace was the first to jump out, roaring, "Damn it, how dare you trespass on Whitebeard's territory alone, Kaido, you're asking for death!"

Jozu's body immediately glowed with Diamond light, his muscles tensed, ready to strike at any moment. "Everyone on alert! Watch out for the Conqueror's Haki! We'll slay this dragon today, and from now on, there will only be three emperors on the sea!"

The others also gripped their weapons, ready to attack at Whitebeard's command without hesitation.

However, Whitebeard did not give the order for the entire ship to attack together and capture Kaido.

"Gurarararar, my dear sons, who do you think I am? I am the World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard!"

He stood up, ripped off the IV line, looked up at the Azure Dragon circling in the sky, and said in a voice that echoed throughout the nearby sea, "Kaido, the Azure Dragon is a distinguished guest of the Whitebeard Pirates."

By attacking him, you are trying to start a war against the Whitebeard Pirates!

Come on, Kaido! Let me see just how much you've improved over the years!

The Azure Dragon's enhancement abilities are extremely important to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Therefore, Whitebeard could not possibly abandon Ivan.

Moreover, even an ordinary guest would not be willing to compromise if Kaido came alone and provoked the Whitebeard Pirates.

He's the Strongest Man, how could he possibly be threatened by a mere little snake?

Above the heavens, Kaido's dragon head, now in dragon form, displayed a human-like astonishment.

He hadn't expected that the old man with the Whitebeard would value Azure Dragon so much, even though they had only met a short time ago.

As expected, Shadow Garden definitely made some kind of deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Otherwise, Whitebeard would have at most driven him away, but wouldn't have said that the Azure Dragon was a distinguished guest of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Kaido craved war, was not afraid of Whitebeard's declaration. Instead, he became excited. "Oh ho ho ho, Whitebeard, I want to kill him. Even you can't stop me!"

"You old codger, let me see how much strength you still have now that you're too old to walk!"

High in the sky, Kaido the Roar suddenly, a crimson glint appearing in his eyes.

In an instant, terrifying black Inazuma, centered on him, enveloped the entire sea.

Rumble!

Amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, Conqueror's Haki transformed into black Inazuma, intertwining with the Inazuma in the Sky Manipulation as it pressed down upon the Moby Dick!

Faced with this, Whitebeard's hair and beard stood on end, and dense black Inazuma erupted around him. "Kaido, you bastard, I won't let you hurt my family!"

Two powerful figures at the top of the ocean simultaneously unleashed their Conqueror's Haki.

Boom!

The terrifying Conqueror's Haki collided in mid-air, unleashing countless black Inazuma.

An invisible shockwave exploded like a nuclear bomb, and black and red Inazuma raged wildly in the sky.

On the Moby Dick, some of the weaker and unlucky ones were Inazuma by Conqueror's Haki and were knocked unconscious!

This is Conqueror's Haki, a Conqueror's Qualities possessed by only one in a million people!

Facing the overlord at the top of the ocean, the weak are not even qualified to stand before them!

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

The clash of the two sea emperors' Conqueror's Haki stirred up waves tens of meters high.

Even a giant ship like the Moby Dick was rocking violently on such high waves.

On the deck, Ace noticed the Azure Dragon raising its head, staring intently at Kaido. He walked over to Ivan, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't worry, with Pops here, even Kaido can't do anything to you!"

Marco appeared beside Azure Dragon without anyone noticing. "That's right, the Whitebeard Pirates will never stand idly by and watch their friends get hurt!"

Now, in Marco's eyes, the Azure Dragon is Whitebeard's hope for recovery, and he will do everything in his power to protect Azure Dragon!

However, in response to their words of comfort, Ivan simply shook his head slightly and then strode forward.

Ace and Marco, who were standing nearby, were taken aback and immediately stopped Ivan, asking in confusion, "Azure Dragon, what are you doing? Don't get too close to the battlefield of the Emperors, or even your Pops won't be able to protect you."

Because the gap between us and them is too great, even the aftershocks of the battle could easily injure us!

Ivan gently pushed aside Ace's arm that was blocking his way, and faint black and red Inazuma suddenly erupted from his body. "I'm sorry, I may not be able to do as you wish. After all, the Shadow Garden never stands behind others, even if that person is the Emperor of the Sea!"

We lurk in the Shadow, hunting down the Shadow. We are the protectors of the world. If even we retreat, then what a joke the revolution would be!

"Wait, don't be impulsive. We're comrades now. You can rely on us—" However, before Ace could finish speaking, a roar echoed across the deck, and he froze, staring in disbelief at Ivan before him.

Before him, a violent burst of black and red Inazuma erupted, far more powerful than his Conqueror's Haki, and even comparable to his Pops's Conqueror's Haki, blooming right in front of him!

Even though the Conqueror's Haki wasn't aimed at him, and even deliberately avoided him, facing an aura far surpassing his own still caused Ace's body to stiffen involuntarily.

Of course, Marco, who was standing next to him, was the same!

And so, Ivan easily evaded the two men's obstruction and headed towards the center of the clash between Whitebeard and Kaido's Conqueror's Haki.

During this process, his aura grew stronger and stronger, and the black and red Inazuma around his body became increasingly intense.

With "High-Speed Calculation" running at full speed, Ivan pushed the effects of Conqueror's Haki to their limit under the powerful computing force!

Thus, a new Conqueror's Haki appeared alongside the two Conqueror's Haki that were originally at odds with each other, ravaging the sea!

This Conqueror's Haki forcefully carved out its own space on the battlefield where the two clashed.

Its dazzling presence finally made Whitebeard and Kaido, who had their eyes only on each other, turn their heads away.

Then they saw a man enveloped in countless black and red Inazuma, walking steadily toward them.

Afterwards, Ivan declared to the two kings, "Whitebeard, thank you for your kindness, but the Shadow Garden has never been a place for the weak to hide under protection!"

Then, he looked at the Azure Dragon circling in mid-air, a ferocious smile gradually spreading across his lips, "Kaido of the Beasts, who gave you the confidence to think you can do whatever you want with me?"

Hehe, come on, let everyone see who the real Azure Dragon is!
