When Reynolds revealed his Azure Dragon form to the crowd, everyone was stunned.
Eyes widened in disbelief.
"You... How is this possible?!"
Saint Garling pointed a trembling finger at Reynolds. The scene before him shattered his understanding of reality, filling him with dread.
How did Reynolds do it? Wasn't it that kid Kaido who got the Fish-Fish Fruit? Why can Reynolds use the power of the Fish-Fish Fruit too?!
"Damn it! What is going on with this guy?!!"
Saint Garling wasn't the only one shocked. Fleet Admiral Kong, who was monitoring the entire battlefield, cursed in rage.
Could it be that Reynolds had the ability to infinitely copy others' Devil Fruits?! It was like this with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit before, and now the Fish-Fish Fruit.
But... this was simply too far beyond common sense.
"Bwahahaha... Kaido! Good job!" "Kong! Stop struggling!"
Linlin, fighting two opponents at once, didn't lose ground in the slightest.
Roar!
At that moment, another dragon roar resonated through the sky.
The massive Azure Dragon coiled in the air, its body wrapped in lightning and flames.
"Blast Breath!!" (Bolo Breath)
Boom!
A column of scorching flame erupted from Reynolds' mouth, shooting toward several Marine Vice Admirals.
The pillar of fire tore through the air, evaporating all moisture in its path instantly.
The Vice Admirals, locked in combat with pirates, barely had time to react before the attack was upon them. In the next second, it swept across the battlefield.
Pirates and Marines alike were swallowed by the flames. Some were vaporized instantly; others were set ablaze, screaming in agony.
Everyone who looked on felt their pupils constrict, gasps of shock filling the air.A magma ravine, thousands of meters long, had already appeared on the ground of God Valley, extending all the way to the island's edge.
Wherever the Blast Breath touched, everything was melted by the intense heat into molten rock.
"This power!!" "Damn it, Reynolds is this strong?! How are we supposed to fight?!" "Reynolds, that bastard! Isn't he our ally? Why is he killing pirates too?!"
"Worororororo... As expected of the Boss! His aura is way more intense than mine."
Seeing Reynolds unleash such a terrifying attack, Kaido expressed his envy.
Although they were both users of the Fish-Fish Fruit, because Reynolds' base strength was several times greater than his, the difference in power was night and day even if they used the same move.
"Exhilarating!!!"
Reynolds, in his Azure Dragon form, spoke in human language. Truly worthy of a top-tier Mythical Zoan.
A casual Blast Breath possessed such immense destructive power—it was overwhelmingly strong.
Moreover, with the enhancement of the Fish-Fish Fruit, his physique had become even stronger than before.
Sit-ups? He could do them casually now!
"Bwahahahaha... Saint Garling! Come and fight!"
At this moment, endless fighting spirit surged in Reynolds' heart.
Saint Garling, having been called out directly, had a face as pale as iron, saying nothing.
Things had come to a point of no return; they were arrows released from the bowstring, with no way back.
"Kill him with me!!"
He beckoned the two God's Knights beside him, intending to charge at Reynolds.
"Worororororo... You're staying right here!!"
Kaido laughed loudly, also transforming into an Azure Dragon and intercepting one of the God's Knights.
With the boost from the Fish-Fish Fruit, his strength had multiplied, enough to stall one enemy and relieve some pressure off Reynolds.
Seeing one of his members pinned down, Saint Garling's expression grew even uglier.
"I want to see just how hard your dragon scales really are!!"
Saint Garling repeated his old trick. The space around him vibrated as a sharp sword phantom, shaped like a crescent moon, suddenly appeared.
The crescent moon solidified gradually, carrying a terrifying aura that instilled fear, before he swung it out.
"Moon Wheel: Strangulation!!"
The crescent sword phantom sliced through the air, slashing toward the Azure Dragon's body at extreme speed.
Although Reynolds' dragon form was massive, his speed wasn't slow in the slightest.
"Hahahaha... Bring it on! Demolition Gust!!" (Kaifu)
Countless sickle-like wind blades spewed from Reynolds' mouth.
The wind blades tore through the air, colliding head-on with the Moon Wheel: Strangulation.
Even though the Moon Wheel carried immense power, the wind blades won out through sheer quantity. Not only could they be fired instantly, but they also consumed very little of Reynolds' stamina.
After a few seconds of stalemate in mid-air, the wind blades destroyed the slash.
Neither Reynolds nor Saint Garling was surprised by this.
Their gazes sharpened instantly, and they moved in unison.
"Stall him for me!!"
The other God's Knight understood immediately.
Years of working together allowed them to communicate telepathically; their coordination was flawless.
This Taijutsu (physical arts) expert stopped dodging and actively closed in.
He unleashed powerful move after powerful move at Reynolds, buying time for Saint Garling.
Saint Garling glanced briefly before withdrawing his gaze. The energy within him began to surge frantically. Sword intent erupted, and the surrounding space was ravaged by the exploding sword Qi.
Within a hundred meters, violent sword Qi filled the air, turning it into a forbidden zone of death.
Reynolds' performance today had completely exceeded his knowledge and estimates.
He couldn't drag this out any longer; he had to end the battle as quickly as possible. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous the situation would become for them.
After all, compared to Reynolds, who possessed the Mythical Fish-Fish Fruit, their stamina was far inferior.
Saint Garling raised his longsword high. Centered on him, the surrounding energy gathered frantically.
"This is... the Boss's Starburst Stream Slash?!" "The Boss is actually using that move? Reynolds really is tricky." "This move will definitely cripple Reynolds!!" "Is Saint Garling finally going all out?!"
Combatants within a radius of hundreds of meters sensed the terrifying fluctuation of sword intent and the trembling of space. They involuntarily turned their gazes to the battlefield between Reynolds and Saint Garling.
The few remaining pirates were shaken to the core. Originally, they thought Saint Garling was about to lose, but judging by this aura, determining the winner wouldn't be so easy.
The Marine officers, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief in secret. This astonishing aura gave them a sliver of comfort.
Reynolds' entry had caused heavy losses to the Navy; no ordinary soldiers survived—all had perished at his hands.
At the critical moment, CP0 and a member of the God's Knights had stepped in, annihilating tens of thousands of pirates to salvage some of the disadvantage.
But everyone knew clearly that advantages or disadvantages at this level couldn't decide the outcome of the war.
The key lay in the battles between the peak powerhouses!
Although Rocks was powerful, under the combined assault of Roger and Garp, his advantage was completely gone!
Whitebeard and Rayleigh, sharing a mutual understanding, had found a remote corner of the battlefield. They were "fighting" while observing the situation, essentially fishing in troubled waters.
Shiki and Gaban were even more leisurely. The two climbed onto a giant boulder, flew a thousand meters into the sky, and watched the show directly.
Shiki even took out a bottle of fine wine from his collection, sharing it generously with Gaban.
When he saw his "dear Captain" being beaten back steadily by Roger and Garp, Shiki angrily downed an extra cup.
As for being discovered by Rocks?!
So what if he was?
Rocks couldn't even take care of himself right now. Whether he could survive was an unknown, so how could he have the time to worry about Shiki?
Captain John, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe were locked in combat with three God's Knights, trading blows with wins and losses on both sides.
Fleet Admiral Kong and another God's Knight were putting in real effort, going all out against Linlin, hoping to break through quickly and support Saint Garling.
But facing Linlin—who possessed the Iron Balloon talent, the Quake-Quake Fruit, three types of Haki, and the Supreme Grade blade Pofeng—even in a two-on-one siege, they could barely fight her to a draw.
Sengoku was in the same boat; his strength was on par with Flame Flower's. Neither could do anything to the other.
Rocks was already a spent force. Now, their only worry was the battlefield between Reynolds and Saint Garling.
It could be said that their victory or defeat would determine the final outcome of the war!
Under the gaze of thousands.
Monstrous sword intent swept across the land, and exploding sword Qi sliced the space apart.
Saint Garling merged with the famous sword in his hand, becoming the sword itself.
"Starburst Stream Slash!!"
His voice was sonorous and full of power!
Saint Garling, united with his sword and wrapped in an aura that pierced the heavens, shot toward the giant Azure Dragon.
At this moment, the God's Knight engaging Reynolds felt the terrifying aura and his expression changed slightly. He used all his strength to break away from Reynolds and dodged to the side.
Reynolds didn't pursue. His Observation Haki was already screaming frantically inside him, restless and agitated.
An unprecedented sense of unease surged up.
However, not only did Reynolds feel no fear, but his blood boiled with excitement.
Now, he possessed the invulnerable Iron Balloon talent, the most destructive Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the top-tier Mythical Zoan Fish-Fish Fruit, highly developed three types of Haki, and the Supreme Grade blade Zhanhai.
Possessing one makes a powerhouse!
But Reynolds possessed all five!
Except for the mysterious Im hidden within the World Government, he could be called the strongest person in the world!
"Bwahahaha... Saint Garling! Today I'll use you to blood my blade!!"
As his voice fell, Reynolds' Azure Dragon body began to change rapidly.
In an instant, Reynolds transformed from his Beast Form into his strongest combat form—Hybrid Form!
This wasn't just the strongest form for all Zoan users; it was Reynolds' strongest form to date!
In addition to his physical body and dragon scale defense, Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki wrapped around him completely. His scales glowed with a dark red, ghostly light.
Zhanhai in his hand hummed incessantly, transmitting a signal of unprecedented excitement.
Perhaps only in the hands of Reynolds in this state could it unleash its full power.
Reynolds ran his left fingers up the blade of Zhanhai from bottom to top. An unparalleled soaring sword intent shot straight into the clouds, tearing open the large hole in the sky that had just closed.
The sky turned completely dark, wind and clouds changing color.
Centered on Reynolds, within a radius of hundreds of meters, wild winds whimpered, the earth shook, and mountains crumbled.
In the eye of the storm, Reynolds narrowed his eyes suddenly, spitting out cold words:
"Saint Garling! Today is the day you die!!!"
"Startling Rainbow!!" (Jinghong)
As his voice fell, sword intent erupted abruptly. Reynolds slashed violently toward Saint Garling.
Sensing the terrifying power contained in this strike, Saint Garling's face twitched uncontrollably.
"I'll help you!"
Just then, the God's Knight who had just dodged stepped in first.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he could judge that Saint Garling absolutely could not block this full-power strike from Reynolds.
At a time like this, sacrifices had to be made."Tyrant: King's Fist!!"
As a master of Taijutsu and a fellow member of the God's Knights, his strength was not to be underestimated.
At this moment, this God's Knight held absolutely nothing back. Channeling all his stamina and Armament Haki, he coated his body in Haki armor before concentrating every ounce of power into his right fist.
Then, fearless of death, he met Reynolds' strongest strike head-on!
"Boss, take care!"
These were the last words Saint Garling heard from his subordinate.
In the next second, the Knight turned into a streak of light, charging straight ahead.
"An ant trying to shake a tree!" Reynolds snorted coldly at the sight.
Immediately after, the Tyrant: King's Fist collided violently with Reynolds' Startling Rainbow (Jinghong).
The evenly matched stalemate the Navy hoped for did not occur. It lasted only a few breaths.
Startling Rainbow crushed the Tyrant: King's Fist with overwhelming force, shattering the Knight's Haki defense and grinding him into dust.
However, at the cost of his life, the God's Knight managed to neutralize a portion of the attack's power.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone present, the weakened Startling Rainbow crashed into Saint Garling's attack.
"Ahhh!!!" "Reynolds! I will kill you!!"
Watching another member die miserably right before his eyes, Saint Garling went completely berserk!!
He swung his famous blade relentlessly—one strike after another, sixteen slashes in total. With each swing, his power increased.
Meanwhile, the power of Startling Rainbow continued to diminish.
As he unleashed the final and strongest strike, Saint Garling, eyes bloodshot, let out a ghostly roar:
"Break!!!"
Boom—
The two forces erupted completely, sending powerful shockwaves sweeping across the area.
Saint Garling tapped his right foot lightly, executing several backflips to dodge the blast radius.
When he landed and saw Reynolds standing there—face not flushed, breath steady—he finally couldn't help but voice his shock:
"Monster... You are a true monster!!"
Alongside his anger was a deep sense of terror.
Gripping his sword, fine beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
Thinking back to Reynolds' attack just now, he still felt lingering fear. If his comrade hadn't sacrificed his life to absorb part of the blow, he would undoubtedly have been severely injured.
This scene was witnessed by others as well.
When they saw a God's Knight—someone with Admiral-level strength—torn to shreds like an insignificant ant, everyone was dumbfounded.
And Saint Garling's full-power attack had only managed to fight the remnants of that strike to a draw.
Is this... is this Reynolds' true strength?!
"Is... is Reynolds really that terrifying?!" "The world calls Rocks the Overlord of the Seas, but in front of Reynolds, what does that count for? It's just that Reynolds doesn't care to compete for the title." "Thank goodness Reynolds is a pirate. If he weren't, there would be no place for us in this sea!"
"Impossible! How could Reynolds block the Boss's attack?! Bastard!!" "Damn it! Where the hell did this Reynolds come from?! How is he this strong?!" "Finish your opponents quickly and support the Boss! Only by joining forces can we take this guy down!"
Several nearby God's Knights quickly reached a consensus.
"Like hell we'll let you do that!" "Hahahaha... Exactly! We won't let you disturb Reynolds." "You're staying right here!!"
Captain John and the others naturally wouldn't let them leave easily. Although they saw no hope of victory in Rocks, they were more than happy to see the World Government suffer losses.
After all, these guys were their enemies too.
"Bastard!!" "Garp! Hurry up and finish Rocks with Roger, then come help me!!"
Matters had reached a point where Saint Garling couldn't care about saving face anymore. Defeating Reynolds was the top priority.
All battlefields had fallen into a stalemate, except for Rocks, who was steadily retreating under the siege of two legends, new wounds constantly appearing on his body.
In this situation, only Garp could end his fight quickly enough to provide support.
"Damn it! What a pain in the ass!!" "Got it!"
Garp spat in extreme annoyance.
These useless Celestial Dragons, usually bossing everyone around, and now they needed his help.
Complaints aside, the force behind his punches only increased.
Although he hated the Celestial Dragons, he hated Reynolds to the bone and wanted him dead immediately.
He never expected that after obtaining the Fish-Fish Fruit, Reynolds' strength would become so terrifying.
Garling was right; they had to finish Rocks quickly.
The main threat now wasn't Rocks, but Reynolds.
"Bwahahahaha... Reynolds!!!"
Seeming to sense something, Rocks suddenly laughed toward the sky, shouting Reynolds' name.
"I thought that after getting the Sound-Sound Fruit, you would no longer be my match."
"But..."
Here, Rocks paused, shaking his head self-deprecatingly.
But in the next second, his gaze turned resolute.
