Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 52 Plasma Cannon!

More than 400 years ago, an explorer named Montblanc Nolando, seeking refuge from a storm, accidentally landed on Jaya Island, met the Shandians who lived on the island, and discovered the land of gold.

He saved the Shandians from tree fever, ended the backward ritual of human sacrifice, and became friends with the great warriors among the Shandians.

However, due to some misunderstanding, he left Jaya Island and was ordered by the king to return to find the Golden City. But he could no longer find the Golden City because it had been swept up into the sky by the rising ocean current.

He was dubbed the "Liar King" and executed for deceiving the emperor. "Nolando the Great Liar" has become a household story for the past 400 years.

As his descendant, Montblanc Kulikate had an unhappy childhood because of this. In order to clear his ancestor's name, he has been building a monkey-mountain alliance on Jaya Island for years, constantly diving and exploring.

He believed that the Golden Land must have existed, but had sunk to the bottom of the sea due to tectonic plate movement. Until this day, he heard a buzzing sound from the sky!
He rushed to the beach in a panic, looked up at the sky, and shouted excitedly, "Did you hear that? It's a bell! Such a loud sound, it must be the legendary Golden Bell! In the sky... why is it in the sky? Could it be... a floating island?!"

The ape-like creature, who actually resembled a gorilla but was human, also came over, took off its headphones, and said, "Is that a bell? To me... it sounds like thunder?"

"It's the sound of bells, I couldn't possibly be mistaken!"

"Was that thunder?"

The two gazed at the sky with some disagreement, when suddenly a rumbling, muffled sound reverberated through the heavens.

Kulikate suddenly lost confidence, gazing at the dark clouds in the sky and muttering, "Could it really be thunder? Wait, what's that?!"

Suddenly, he saw a huge, blue dragon tail emerge from the dark clouds, followed by a deafening roar of thunder and fire. The enormous commotion gradually alarmed all the inhabitants of Jaya Island, who stared at the sky in terror.

"That...that's a dragon?!"

"Are the gods angry?!"

Kulikate looked shocked, but as a golden object, growing larger and larger in his sight, fell from the sky, his shock quickly turned into blankness.

bang——

The object crashed down about two hundred meters in front of him, the impact causing huge waves to splash in the sea, and a huge wave surged in his heart as well.

"Do you see that?"

"Golden Bell?!"

He and the ape no longer cared about the gods and the Azure Dragon, and hurriedly went to get the diving equipment to retrieve the golden bell that had fallen into the water!

……

Jaya Island and Alabasta are very close, and the Navy's G17 base is located on one of the islands between the two, with both Jaya Island and Alabasta under its jurisdiction.

The rumbling thunder in the sky faintly reached the G17 branch. The military commander of the G17 branch, Navy Captain Hina, had already stood at the window, frowning as he looked at the unnaturally oriented dark clouds over Jaya Island.

“It doesn’t feel like a natural storm, and Hina feels uneasy,” she murmured.

Hina was startled when a glimpse of a blue dragon's body appeared in the dark clouds.

"Could that be... Kaido of the Beasts?!"

As a backbone of the Navy, she was well-informed about the Four Emperors and knew Kaido's Devil Fruit ability, quickly confirming that it was Kaido of the Beasts!

She rushed to the table and dialed the Navy Headquarters, her heart pounding with anxiety. Kaido of the Beasts was nearby? And seemingly fighting someone? Who could possibly fight Kaido?!

The moment the Den Den Mushi connected, Hina remembered something: an hour earlier, the Navy stationed on Jaya Island reported that the Shichibukai nemesis, Ian the Tiger, had appeared on Jaya Island and casually captured a pirate with a bounty of 1200 million.

So she blurted out, "Marshal, Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors, has appeared in the sky southwest of the G17 branch, on what appears to be a sky island above Jaya Island, and is engaged in a fierce battle with Ian the Flame Tiger!"

"...Kaido? Engaging in fierce combat with Ian?!"

Sengoku sounded somewhat confused, but quickly regained the composure befitting a naval admiral, realizing that Hina wouldn't joke about such an important matter.

"I understand. This is not something the G17 branch can handle. I'll send Kizaru over!"

"I understand, Marshal!"

After the Marine Headquarters ordered Kizaru to deploy, Sengoku sat in the Fleet Admiral's seat for a long time, unable to understand why. He hadn't heard from Ian the Tiger for almost a year, and now he suddenly appeared, fighting Kaido? Was it real?

……

There wasn't even a hint of a fierce battle.

Having been entangled with Kaido for nearly half an hour, Guan Yi was nearing his limit.

Despite several collisions, Kaido, the monster, was unharmed, but his internal organs were accumulating injuries. The burden on his body from activating his divine power was increasing, and if this continued, it might even cause a permanent decline in his physical strength.

"If we can't take Robin with us, and we don't find a way to escape quickly, even I won't be able to leave."

Unlike Golden Bell, Guan Yi couldn't simply throw Robin off the sky island. Falling from a height of 10,000 meters, Robin would surely die.

"Let's retreat tactically first, then figure out a solution."

“Oh ho ho ho ho…”

A strange laugh came from Kaido, who was chasing him from behind. He roared, "Boy, your speed is gradually slowing down. Are you nearing your limit? Surrender and become my subordinate!"

During the nearly half-hour chase, Kaido's mood gradually changed from annoyance to calm, and at this point, he actually began to appreciate Guan Yi.

He's quite strong and has a clear head. If someone like that could join his Beasts Pirates, his crew would definitely take another step forward and get closer to the throne of the Pirate King!
As for the grudge against Hanafza? It was the Navy and the World Government that went back on their word, first making Hanafza a Shichibukai and then arresting him. Guan Yi only played a part in it. It was a minor conflict, nothing compared to the talent!
Glancing at Kaido, who was determined to get him, Guan Yi conserved every bit of energy. Without responding to a word, he directly melted through the white sea below, making a hole in the sea.

Not again?! Kaido grunted, too lazy to even breathe fire and boil the sea. He was unaffected by the punch and was about to dive down into the clouds.

But just then, his Observation Haki suddenly detected a dangerous aura, and the massive dragon body instantly hovered in mid-air. Hmm? What's going on?

What did that kid do?!

How perceptive.

Beneath the white sea, the veins on Guan Yi's temples bulged, his half-length hair moved without wind, and his whole person exuded a gloomy aura.

Demon-slaying, open!

This was the second secret technique of the Two Tigers Style, which he obtained from Kiryu Setsuna. Guan Yi used it in actual combat for the first time! His brain's thinking speed instantly increased several times, and everything around him slowed down.

His Observation Haki range has expanded, and his Armament Haki has become more solid!
His control over fire is even more flexible!

"The final blow: escape if you can, surrender if you can't escape, take it one step at a time."

With both divine and demon-slaying powers activated, Guan Yi's body was under immense strain. His body trembled slightly, his legs spread apart, and his hands clenched into fists under his crotch.

With the fire-clad armor dissipating, Guan Yi didn't even have time to use Moonwalk, and landed freely.

All his energy and all his strength were poured into the ever-compressing and condensing flame between his palms, compressing and compressing it again!
Until a certain critical point, the flame dies, and a new power is born.

It was a small, glassy sphere, but it contained energy dozens of times greater than that of flames, magma, and other substances!

As a user of the Flame-Flame Fruit, Guan Yi even felt waves of burning pain. He slowly pushed his palms upwards, trying to maintain his stability.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, Kaido, who had been about to unleash another fiery attack on the ocean, suddenly narrowed his eyes and reverted to his human-beast form. Separated by the White Sea and interfered with by Guan Yi's Observation Haki, he didn't know what Guan Yi was doing, only sensing an energy that posed a threat to him!
This kid has a new skill?!

"Jiang Sanshi Yin Nai Luo!"

"Plasma Cannon!"

The Conqueror's Haki unconsciously dissipated!

The sky was torn in two, and the white sea was instantly ripped open like a deep abyss!
In the two halves of the sky, one half is the dark purple thunderclouds that Kaido is carrying, and the other half is the blazing white beam of light that Guan Yi is pushing out from his palm!

There was no sound, or rather, sound had been left behind by this pure energy. Wherever the beam of light passed, everything was annihilated, the air was completely ionized, leaving behind a vacuum channel that violently collided with the dark purple lightning that drew Naraku!
boom! ! !
At the moment of impact, time seemed to freeze. Then came an indescribable burst of energy! The white and purple energies frantically eroded, devoured, and exploded, forming an ever-expanding energy sphere that completely evaporated and pushed aside the clouds in the sky, creating a massive ring-shaped void!

The stalemate lasted only a few seconds.

The blazing white plasma beam, with its extreme penetrating power and destructive force, tore through the dark purple lightning and demonic energy, like a hot knife through butter, cleaving the ultimate technique symbolizing the strongest creature in two! Then, the beam continued its momentum, with unwavering determination, and slammed into Kaido's massive body!
"Uh--"

Kaido let out a muffled groan as his massive body was propelled higher into the sky. The body struck by the beam of light emitted a burnt smell!
Guan Yi below instantly withdrew from the state of relying on gods and subduing demons, even briefly losing consciousness for three seconds before falling weakly.

Gaya Island.

After a busy half hour, Kulikate and the orangutan finally dragged the Golden Bell ashore, and laughed with joy as they looked at it on the bank.

"Our ancestors were right, the Golden Land really exists! It was just swept up into the sky by the rising ocean currents and became a sky island!"

"But... what exactly happened on the Sky Island? How did the Golden Bell fall down?"

The ape asked, looking up, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Something else has fallen!"

"That looks like... a person?"

"Oh no! He's going to fall and die!"

The two were in a panic, but the distance was too far and they were completely helpless. Just as they covered their eyes, unable to bear seeing the person fall to pieces, when the person was still dozens of meters above the ground, he suddenly stepped on the air and shot towards them.

"what?"

Before the two could react, they saw the man pick up the golden bell they had just retrieved and disappear into the horizon.

"..."

They looked at each other.

The Golden Bell... is gone again?

Boom——

Seconds later, a tremor shook the ground, and a colossal figure crashed down behind them, creating a massive crater in the earth. Kaido, mace in hand, gazed at the horizon, his Observation Haki expanding rapidly, but he could no longer detect Guan Yi's presence!
"Tch, he got away!"

vomit--

He vomited a mouthful of blood, realizing that the attack had aggravated the injuries inflicted by the three generals four months ago, and he would need another two months to recover.

"I underestimated you, oh ho ho ho ho!"

Kaido wasn't annoyed; he just laughed.

Run away, kid. We'll meet again on this vast and insignificant sea, and then I'll treat you as a real opponent!

He then turned his gaze to the golden light shooting towards him in the distance and snorted, "Admiral Kizaru? I have no interest in fighting you now."

He transformed into a blue dragon and ascended directly to the sky island.

A few seconds later, Kizaru materialized in front of Kurikate and the other person, and raised his hand to scratch his cheek.

"Am I too late? Kaido seems to be injured, and Flame Tiger Ian... How scary~"
