Chapter 301: Twin Dragons, The Battle of Hachinosu Begins!
Waters near Hachinosu
Hundreds of broadcast Den Den Mushi lenses swiveled toward the sea simultaneously. The originally calm sea surface was torn apart by heaven-shaking waves the very next moment!
Three massive battleships broke through the waves. The bows were carved into the shape of ferocious beast heads, and the pitch-black hulls crushed the waves like giant beasts of steel. An overwhelming sense of oppression rushed forward, blanketing the sky and sea!
At the bow of the central battleship, a tall, black figure stood tall and immovable like a statue—
Clad entirely in black, a mask and goggles concealed his face, leaving not a single inch of skin exposed.
He wore a double-breasted black coat, its collar embroidered with two ghastly skull insignias, symbolizing the brutality and deterrence of the Beast Pirates.
A longsword hung at his waist, its scabbard wrapped in dark red blood-like patterns, seemingly saturated with the resentment of countless lives.
Ghostly blue flames burned at the back of his head, casting a cold light over the waves. A pair of pitch-black wings spread open behind his back, casting down a demonic shadow!
—King the Conflagration!
One of the All-Stars of the Beast Pirates. Bounty: 1.39 Billion Berries!
Beside him, a mammoth-man with a physique like a small mountain roared at the sky. His tusks gleamed with a chilling light, the vibration sending sea spray flying madly—
—Jack the Drought!
One of the All-Stars of the Beast Pirates, the Ship-Boarder. Bounty: 1 Billion Berries!
The global audience instantly boiled over!
"The Beast Pirates are here!!!"
"They actually dare to come and crash the execution ground?!!"
"Wait... where's Kaido?!"
Just as countless people held their breath—
"RUMBLE-RUMBLE—!!!"
In the sky above the Beast fleet, the originally bright canopy of heaven was instantly swallowed by dark clouds. Lightning danced wildly within like giant pythons, the sound deafening!
Deep within the clouds, a colossal dark shadow slowly circled and swam. The massive dragon scales refracted a terrifying, azure-blue cold light amidst the lightning.
The next second—
"ROOOAARR—!!!"
A dragon head as massive as a mountain peak broke through the clouds. The crimson dragon pupils, like two blood moons, looked down upon Hachinosu!
The thousand-meter-long dragon body rolled within the sea of clouds. Every single scale was as thick as a city wall and as sharp as a blade.
As a dragon claw reached out, it easily tore through the wind and clouds!
At the bottom of the live broadcast screens all over the world, golden special effects instantly exploded:
["Kaido of the Beasts"!]
[Governor-General of the Beast Pirates!]
["Yonko" of the New World!]
[Bounty: 4,611,100,000 Berries!]
Audiences worldwide were plunged into an unprecedented state of shock!
"Is... is this Kaido?!!"
"A dragon!!! It's really a dragon!!!"
"Can the Marines... really win?!"
On the execution platform, Kuzan slowly stood up. His lazy expression vanished completely in this moment, his eyes as sharp as freezing ice: "Arara... the main act has finally arrived."
Enel hovered in mid-air, lightning exploding between his palms. He pointed his golden staff straight at the giant dragon in the sky, a battle-hungry sneer lifting the corner of his mouth:
"Kaido! It's time... to settle our score from last time!"
Issho leaned on his cane sword. An invisible wave of gravity rippled out from beneath his feet as he muttered in a low voice: "The oppressive pressure of a Yonko... truly lives up to its reputation."
Above the clouds, Kaido's dragon body coiled and churned. His voice slammed into everyone's ears like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting:
"MARINES!!!"
"You dare touch my man—"
"Are you... PREPARED TO DIE?!!"
Kaido's thousand-meter dragon body coiled within the rolling dark clouds, his blood-moon-like dragon pupils looking down at the earth. It was as if the entire sky was enveloped by his oppressive pressure, the air so heavy it nearly solidified.
However, under this suffocating oppression, not a single person in the Marine formation backed down.
—Luffy and Ace stood shoulder to shoulder at the forefront, raising their heads to look at the giant dragon in the sky.
Luffy grinned widely, his fists cracking as he clenched them: "You're finally here, Kaido!!!"
Ace's fists ignited with blazing flames, the battle intent in his eyes burning fiercely: "This time... I'm definitely going to send you flying!"
—Zoro drew all three of his swords. The blades gleamed with a compelling cold light, locking dead onto King the Conflagration at the bow: "This time, I will cut you down!"
Kuina's Wado Ichimonji was unsheathed silently, her aura as sharp as frost: "We will handle the Beast Pirates' 'Conflagration'!"
—Usopp and Sanji instinctively took a half-step back when Kaido's dragon aura first appeared, but seeing the battle intent of their comrades, they immediately gritted their teeth and steadied their footing.
Sanji bit down on his cigarette, stomping his dress shoe heavily: "Hey, hey, hey... this isn't the time to back down from a scene like this."
Usopp swallowed the nervousness in his throat. Though his fingers trembled, they firmly gripped the trigger: "That's right... we are the Marines!!!"
—Law stood in the back. Kikoku was slightly unsheathed, the blue light of ROOM quietly expanding: "Go wild, the doctor is right here!"
Behind them, the five hundred elite Marines roared in unison: "JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL—!!!"
Their military momentum was like a rainbow, the soundwaves shooting into the sky, echoing endlessly across the entirety of Hachinosu.
The live broadcast fed across the globe. Civilians everywhere widened their eyes, watching this scene in sheer disbelief—
Facing the terrifying oppressive pressure of the Yonko Kaido, not a single Marine backed down!
"Is this... the Marines who have always protected us?!"
"Facing a monster like Kaido... they actually dare to meet him head-on?!!"
"Do your best, Marines!!!"
High in the sky, Kaido's dragon pupils narrowed slightly. His cold snort exploded like thunder: "A BUNCH OF ANTS!!!"
He violently opened his giant mouth. Blazing energy churned in his throat. The air distorted, and the temperature above the sea surface skyrocketed!
Luffy looked back at Kuzan, his eyes full of fiery excitement: "Uncle Kuzan! Let me handle him!"
The corner of Kuzan's mouth lifted, and he lazily raised a hand: "Arara... try not to die~"
"ROOOAARR—!!!"
Luffy's body suddenly expanded. Pink scales covered his entire body, and ferocious dragon horns sprouted!
A five-hundred-meter-long pink giant dragon soared into the sky, confronting Kaido from afar!
The global audience instantly erupted: "THE MARINES ACTUALLY HAVE A DRAGON TOO?!!"
Both giant dragons charged up their energy simultaneously—
Kaido roared: "BOLO BREATH (BLAST BREATH)!!!"
A pillar of fire dozens of meters in diameter descended from the sky like a heavenly punishment plummeting to the mortal realm!
Luffy's pink dragon also raised its head and let out a furious roar: "DRAGON BREATH!!!"
A torrent of pink energy, over ten meters in diameter, shot up into the sky, meeting Kaido's Bolo Breath head-on!
Enel sneered as he hovered in the air, pointing his golden staff straight at the canopy of heaven: "100 MILLION VOLTS: DISCHARGE!!!"
Zzzzt-Zzzzt-Zzzzt—!!!
The lightning was fired later but arrived first, instantly piercing into Luffy's Dragon Breath. Merging with the pink energy, it transformed into a destructive torrent of interwoven lightning and fire!
"Combined Technique: THUNDER FLAME DRAGON ROAR!!!"
"RUMBLE-RUMBLE—!!!"
The energy torrent of interwoven lightning and fire tore through the sky, forcibly pushing Kaido's Bolo Breath back!
Light and flame, lightning and fire collided in mid-air. The explosive shockwave instantly tore apart the dark clouds. Giant waves rolled outward in all directions like walls, and the entirety of Hachinosu shook as if the earth were quaking and mountains swaying!
As heatwaves and lightning intertwined and churned above the sea surface, the Beast Pirates' battleships didn't slow down in the slightest.
At the bow, King's gaze flashed amidst the blazing flames. He violently spread his black wings, his voice deep and sharp:
"Beast Pirates, FULL-SCALE ASSAULT!!!"
"AHOOO—!!!"
The three massive battleships accelerated with a boom. Like giant beasts of steel, they crushed the waves and forcibly charged toward the port of Hachinosu!
Along both sides of the decks, a dense swarm of pirate grunts and Pleasures roared as they surged toward the gangplanks, charging madly under the lead of the Numbers!
Footsteps shattered the decks, and their killing intent kicked up a bloody wind. They lunged forward like a tidal wave of black!
The Marine defensive line at the port abruptly tensed. Heartbeats thundered like war drums in everyone's chests.
Amidst the crowd, Issho slowly raised his head, his cane sword slightly unsheathing.
"VROOM—"
An invisible wave of gravity suddenly shot into the sky, as if the entire sky itself had been pressed down a few degrees!
