Strong winds howled, and countless golden fireballs broke through the clouds. The temperature above Honeycomb Island suddenly soared.
"boom--"
The rapidly falling golden fireball rubbed violently against the air, and a loud roar came from the sky, covering the entire Honeycomb Island.
In a courtyard in the center of the island, Wang Zhi was sitting on a stone bench under the shade of a tree, holding a tea spoon in his hand and adding tea leaves to the teapot in front of him.
His original intention was to enjoy the leisurely afternoon time, but the loud roar coming from the sky made Wang Zhi's face change suddenly.
He stood up quickly, looked up at the sky, and what caught his eye was a sea of golden fireballs.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's attack was so powerful that the entire sky above Beehive Island was almost covered by golden fireballs.
These fireballs, with long tails of flame, were rapidly approaching Honeycomb Island.
"What is this!?"
"Meteorite? Meteor shower?"
Wang Zhi's pupils suddenly shrank, his face changed in horror, and then his figure suddenly disappeared in the courtyard, leaving the place quietly.
The fireballs falling rapidly from the sky were noticed by more and more pirates. Seeing such a devastating scene, the pirates fled in panic, looking for a place to take refuge.
The pirates on the island were looking for shelter, and the pirates on the sea who had not yet had time to land on the island also raised their sails and left the island at a high speed.
For a moment, the entire Beehive Island was plunged into panic.
"what happened?"
"Why is it so noisy all of a sudden?"
The hungover Kaido was awakened by the noisy sounds outside. He stood up with an impatient look on his face and walked to the window. He happened to see a fireball falling directly into the square hundreds of meters away.
The moment the golden fireball fell and touched the ground, blazing flames suddenly exploded on the Honeycomb Island. The flames destroyed the houses and poured into the streets. The pirates who were unable to dodge were directly enveloped by the golden flames and were instantly silenced.
A strong shock wave swept over, and Kaido reacted quickly, bending his body and quickly covering his eyes with his hands.
"boom--"
The shock wave completely shattered the window of Kaido's room. The sharp broken glass hit Kaido's body but could not even pierce his skin.
After a while, the loud explosion sounded into Kaido's ears, which immediately shook his drowsy brain into an unusual clarity.
The shockwave's momentum gradually faded, and Kaido looked towards the city, only to see a sea of fire. Golden fireballs continued to fall from the sky towards the city, and the cries of injured pirates filled the air. This pirate paradise had now turned into a hellish scene.
"Natural disaster?!"
"No, this golden flame is..."
Kaido seemed to have noticed something and quickly looked up into the sky.
The layers of clouds piled up above the Beehive Island have now disappeared without a trace due to the attack of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Although the sky is full of golden fireballs, Kaido, who has excellent eyesight, can still see the phoenix that is looming in the sky.
Without any hesitation, Kaido returned to the room, grabbed the mace, jumped out of the window, and his body was changing rapidly at the same time he left the residence.
A very penetrating dragon roar came from the Honeycomb Island, and a green dragon dodged countless falling golden flames and soared upwards.
In just a few seconds, Kaido had already reached above the troposphere, and at a glance, he saw the golden phoenix hovering in the air not far away.
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi!"
“It’s you!!!”
The guess in his heart was confirmed by what he saw. The wound on Kaido's chest left by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's slash began to ache again.
The blue dragon's eyes suddenly turned scarlet, Kaido let out a loud roar, and the dragon's body rolled up, shooting directly towards Jigoku Yoshiichi in mid-air.
For some unknown reason, the scar left on his body by Tsugumi Yoshiichi has not healed after all these years of treatment.
The pain tortured Kaido's spirit day and night. Every night, Kaido needed to drink a lot of strong liquor to numb his nerves and fall asleep peacefully.
Although he likes to drink on a daily basis, alcohol has now become his most hated "medicine".
Kaido's murderous intent towards Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the person who caused all this, grew stronger and stronger.
When he saw Yoriichi Tsugakuni at this time, Kaido could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart.
"Kaido!"
"So you were hiding here!"
Yoriichi Tsugakuni hasn't heard of Kaido for a long time. Since the death of Whitebeard, Yoriichi Tsugakuni has been trying to find the whereabouts of Kaido and BIG MOM.
Hopefully, we can eliminate the problem.
But for such a long time, their new navy has not been able to grasp the whereabouts of Kaido and others.
But no one expected that Kaido was hiding on Beehive Island and mixed with the remnants of the Rocks Pirates.
Being able to accommodate a great pirate like Kaido, Wang Zhi's weight in Tsugikuni Yoriichi's heart has also increased to a higher level.
“Go to hell!”
Kaido was extremely fast and rushed in front of Yoriichi Tsugakuni in an instant, and his dragon claws directly grabbed Yoriichi Tsugakuni's chest.
"Hmph!" Facing Kaido's attack, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi had already stopped his attack. His phoenix eyes moved, and Tsugakuin Yoshiichi just glanced at Kaido, and the huge phoenix body suddenly disappeared before Kaido's eyes.
“?!”
Tsugikoku Yuichi quickly exited the state of phantom beast, spread the golden wings behind him, and flew directly above the dragon head.
Before Kaido could react, a phoenix suddenly appeared above Kaido's head, and its sharp claws directly grabbed Kaido's head, and directly pulled Kaido to fall towards the Honeycomb Island below.
The two figures, a phoenix and a dragon, suddenly transformed into a golden stream of light and swooped down.
“Boom!!!!”
The stream of light suddenly fell in the center of the Honeycomb Island. A loud bang drowned out all the sounds on the island at this time, and the entire island suddenly began to shake violently.
Cracks appeared on the ground, and bottomless ravines spread rapidly outward from Kaido's landing point. Some pirates fell into the deep pit before they could figure out what was happening, and were swallowed by the darkness at the bottom.
The violent shock wave flattened the surrounding houses and buildings to the ground.
At the center of the shock wave, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi stomped Kaido's head to the ground, suppressing Kaido and making it difficult for him to get up.
Blood kept flowing out of the dragon's mouth. Kaido had just taken the blow with his body. Tsugikuni Yoriichi's attack also had a huge impact on Kaido. At this moment, Kaido seemed to have lost control of his body, his mind was dizzy, and his consciousness began to become a little blurry.
With one blow, Kaido almost lost his combat effectiveness.
“Why?”
"Why do you have such power?!"
Kaido tilted his head and looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuni, asking the question that had been accumulating in his heart for many years.
Kaido's potential was once recognized by Rocks, and Kaido also successfully obtained a very rare mythical beast devil fruit. His strength has already reached the top level in this world.
After narrowly escaping from the hands of Tsugakuni Yoriichi, Kaido has never slacked off, driven by hatred. Compared to himself then, his strength has improved greatly now.
He thought he could close the distance between him and Yoriichi Tsugakuni, but what Kaido didn't expect was that he was seriously injured after just one encounter.
Compared to what he was back then, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's strength has also greatly improved, and the extent of that improvement is far beyond what Kaido can match.
In fact, Tsugumi Yuichiro himself didn't really understand the matter of increasing strength.
He only knew that since he ate the devil fruit, the genetic lock of his body seemed to be broken, and his strength, speed, and domineering power were steadily increasing with his practice, without stagnation, as if there was no upper limit.
Yoriichi simply attributed all of this to his talent and the power of the devil fruit.
After all, when he ate the devil fruit, he did not explore all the mysteries of this devil fruit.
“People are different.”
"Not everyone has the same power as you."
"And you, there's no way you can gain power that rivals mine!"
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi lowered his eyes slightly, spread his phoenix wings, and was about to execute Kaido first when the huge skull-shaped rock not far from the square suddenly came to life.
This is Los Peña, a cadre under Wang Zhi, who ate the Island Fruit. Through the power of the devil fruit, Peña can become one with the island. He can mobilize everything on the island and turn it into his own power.
Seeing that Kaido was about to be executed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Peña, who had been observing silently for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore and took action to stop him.
“Boom boom boom—”
The earth began to shake violently, and suddenly a giant rock hand emerged from the ground and grabbed towards Tsugikuni Yoriichi's phoenix body.
The phoenix wings that were originally going to chop off Kaido's head suddenly changed direction and slapped directly towards the attacking giant rock hand.
A slash suddenly shot out, with an arm nearly a thousand meters long. The giant rock hand that was covering Tsugikuni Yoriichi was suddenly pierced through by this sword, and the rock arm shattered. Clods of soil and stones splashed everywhere, falling into the already devastated town.
An underground secret room somewhere on Beehive Island.
A sound of bones breaking suddenly rang out in this quiet dark room, and the next second, a shrill scream was heard.
When Peña uses the Island-Island Fruit to mobilize objects on the island, his body will merge with the mobilized part of the island, and the injuries can be transmitted back to his body.
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's counterattack was sudden, and Peña's body had no time to pull out of the rock arm. As the rock arm was chopped into pieces by Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, the injury was transmitted back to his body.
Peña's body collapsed directly to the ground, his left hand tightly grasping his right arm, his face full of pain, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down, and his arm also became limp and powerless, as if it had been disabled.
"Captain, the enemy is on the square!"
In the dark room, Peña gritted his teeth and spoke. He was obviously the only one here, and no one knew who he was talking to.
In the square, Kaido, who was stepped on by Yoshiichi Tsugakuin, finally regained control of his body. Although Peña only delayed Yoshiichi Tsugakuin for a few seconds, it was enough for Kaido.
Black flames began to rise from the dragon's body, and soon enveloped Kaido's body.
The pain in his body was fading away quickly, and Kaido's condition was recovering quickly.
Since the awakening of the devil fruit, Kaido's development of the devil fruit has reached a higher level. He has now figured out the wonderful use of the black flame. As long as he is not killed immediately, Kaido can use the power of the devil fruit to recover!
The power of the mythical beast-type devil fruit is so strong.
"Um?"
Yoshikazu Tsugakuni noticed the movement beneath him, and murmured softly, then slashed directly at Kaido beneath him, aiming directly at the dragon's head, trying to behead Kaido directly.
Kaido was restrained by Yoriichi Tsugakuni and could not break free. As he watched the terrifying slash coming towards him, a hint of despair and relief appeared in Kaido's eyes.
Struggling is useless, my skills are inferior to others.
Then you can only accept the result of defeat.
Kaido doesn't care much about life and death.
From the day he became a pirate, he had already disregarded life and death.
"Buzz—"
The slash was about to fall, and just when Kaido was about to be beheaded, a "middle-aged man" in a loose Tang suit suddenly appeared on Kaido's body, and with a straight knife in his hand, he actually blocked the slash.
The terrifying domineering aura of domineering spread out. The moment Wang Zhi drew his sword to block the attack, he felt his arms go numb. He used all his strength to tilt the sword and only then was he able to change the direction of the attack.
"boom!!!"
The slash hit the ground almost close to Kaido's dragon body, and disappeared without a trace after entering the rock layer, leaving only a terrifying crack on the ground that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Is this the world's most powerful slash?!"
"It's really terrifying!"
After Wang Zhi blocked Yuichiro's attack with a sword, he looked up at Yuichiro and said with some emotion.
His words were calm, without any anger in his tone.
His elegant appearance was totally inconsistent with his identity as a pirate.
stranger.
Jiguo Yuanyi's gaze fell on Wang Zhi. Looking at the middle-aged man at his feet, who looked impressive, he guessed his identity.
"Are you Wang Zhi, the pirate leader of Beehive Island?"
Wang Zhi's temperament and image were somewhat different from what Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had expected. He originally thought that the person who could subdue the many big pirates on Beehive Island would be someone with the same temperament as Blackbeard Teach, who had a kind of arrogance and wildness, and a huge ambition in his heart.
But unexpectedly, the temperament of the person in front of him was somewhat similar to that of Pluto Rayleigh, exuding a calm and tranquil temperament.
If this wasn't Beehive Island, if Wang Zhi hadn't actually missed his slash, if he saw this guy somewhere else, Yunyi would probably find it difficult to associate such a person with the word pirate.
Facing Jiguo Yuanyi's question, Wang Zhi showed a faint smile on his face, nodded, and said:
"Yes, I am the pirate leader you mentioned, Wang Zhi!"
"Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, it's our first meeting, and the way you greet us is something our Beehive Island can't handle!"
Wang Zhi smiled widely. All around him were ruins. A little further away, golden flames were burning all over the island.
The pirates' cries and screams could be heard even from a long distance away.
His territory was turned into this state under the attack of Jigoku Yoshiichi, and his subordinates were already in dire straits, but as the leader, Wang Zhi was still able to face the enemy with a smile.
Looking at this middle-aged man, even Tsugumi Yoshiichi couldn't help but feel alert.
