"Meow meow..."

The next second, the giant bear seemed to be electrocuted, and let out a muttering sound.

At this moment, the giant bear's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and it stared at Haman with a terrified expression. As a creature raised in the wild, the giant bear was far more sensitive to the fighting power of other animals than humans. Its keen senses could instantly judge the difference in strength between friend and foe! In the brief instant that Haman unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, the giant bear had already sensed the fundamental and insurmountable gap between itself and the incredibly strong human before it! For a moment, the giant bear cowered.

However, Harman seemed to have no intention of letting the giant bear go so easily. She slowly leaped from her spot, jumped into the air, grabbed the giant bear's head with one hand, and slammed it down onto the ground of the dojo...

"boom!"

Immediately following, a loud roar...

The head of the mountain god bear was shoved directly into the wooden floor of the dojo by Haman!

With Haman's absolute superhuman strength, he buried the mountain god bear's head directly into the soil, causing half of the mountain god bear's body to disappear from the sight of the apprentices!

At the same time, Harman suddenly sprang up, grabbing the mountain god bear's head and slamming it against the ground, creating a gust of wind that blinded everyone present.

"Hey! What are you talking about...?"

"It usually takes dozens of people to drive away the mountain god bear! And it takes the lives of one or two adult warriors to defeat it, yet that little girl defeated it with one hand..."

"Heh heh heh! What kind of monster have we been fighting all this time?!"

When the apprentices present saw Haman defeat the mountain god bear with one hand, their faces showed expressions of relief. They felt that they were truly amazing today, considering that they had actually fought Haman and his group to this extent.

"Be good, okay, Bear..."

"Otherwise you'll get a beating!"

"I don't want to accidentally kill you..."

At the same time, Harman was speaking in her gentlest tone, uttering the most terrifying words! Harman's fierce aura, combined with her innocent expression, was unforgettable and chilling to behold…

"Snap! Snap! Snap..."

at the same time……

The apprentices in the dojo all threw away their katana.

They knelt down in unison before Hamman.

At this moment, these swordsmanship apprentices used their actions to tell everyone present that they had admitted defeat.

"Wildfires outside..."

Just then, one of the apprentices seemed to realize something and spoke up to the crowd, warning them, "If we let it go unchecked, it will eventually burn down to the village, won't it? By then, it will be too late!"

"boom!!"

And it was precisely at the very moment the apprentice finished speaking...

Lala, who hadn't made a move, suddenly arrived in front of the dojo wall that Ace had blasted open with his Fire Fist. She looked at the billowing black smoke burning on the distant mountaintop and simply waved her hand.

"call……"

The next second, a howling gale swept across the sky and earth!

Accompanied by muffled thunder in the sky and a sudden change in the sky color!

All the mountains swept by Ace's flames were then hit by torrential rain!

If you look closely, you'll see that the rain is mixed with hail and snowflakes.

Yes, the Devil Fruit that Lala ate was the Snow-Snow Fruit, a lower-level Devil Fruit of the Logia type, the Ice-Ice Fruit. In addition to the Snow-Snow Fruit, Lala also ate the Fish-Fish Fruit, a Mythical Zoan variant created by Char Aznable by enhancing the wind power in the Blue Dragon Fruit. It was based on the Blue Dragon Fruit and created as a variant.

As for Char's creation of the Storm Dragon form, he specifically combined it with the Paramecia-type Low Temperature Fruit, which is the opposite of the Heat-Heat Fruit, and Dragon's Storm Fruit...

In other words, what Lala Dragon form breathes out isn't just simple wind, but freezing air at extremely low temperatures! Combined with Lala's icy body, it's more accurate to call this dragon an Ice Dragon!

After Lala unleashed her full power...

In an instant, the burning mountain in the distance was covered with a layer of frost.

"call……"

Inside the dojo, Lala, having finished everything with one hand in her pocket, exhaled a wisp of cold air.

Inside the dojo, the people dressed in thin clothes were shivering and drooling from the cold air unintentionally released by Lala...

"it's over……"

After Lala finished doing all this, she spoke softly to everyone in the room.

"Another ability user!"

"Could it be that all of Xia's children are Devil Fruit users?!"

Koushirou looked at Lala, who was emitting an icy aura, and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

"Ha ha……"

At this moment, Xia A's apprehension towards Koushirou was merely met with a light laugh.

Faced with Char's powerful Observation Haki, Koushirou's thoughts had nowhere to hide! While confirming Koushirou's thoughts, Char thought to himself, "Not only are they all Devil Fruit users, but each and every one of them is a cyborg who has been carefully trained and had their bloodline factors adjusted! Each of them possesses the best form in this world, and is on a completely different level from humans outside!"

"In other words, to them, humans outside are outdated beings. Those who haven't undergone bloodline optimization are outdated products eliminated by the times. We are the new humans who lead the trend of the times and guide the future destiny of all humanity!"

"Now that the Mountain God Bear has been subdued, let the battle continue!"

A moment later, Xia's voice continued to echo in the dojo.

"Ha ha……"

"We've already lost, please spare us!"

After hearing Xia Ya's words, Koushirou couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knelt down on both knees and begged Xia Ya for mercy.

"Let me think about it..."

at the same time.

On a cliff near the sea at the top of the mountain in Shimotsuki Village.

After entering Shimotsuki Village, Lady Toki voluntarily left Char's squad and somehow ended up at this cliff. At the edge of the cliff, a short old man was constantly wiping his katana.

"Um?!"

When the old man sensed someone behind him, he stood up and slowly turned around.

"You! You are..."

When the old man looked at the person who came from behind him, his expression immediately showed shock.

The reason was simple: the old man had seen a woman who, theoretically, should absolutely not be there! And the fact that this woman was actually in front of him said something.

"Senior Kousaburo, this is our first time meeting~"

"I remember when I first returned to Wano Country, after hearing the rumors about you, I dreamed of meeting you! Unfortunately, you were already a legendary figure in Wano Country back then. I never expected to have the honor of meeting you in this small village in the East Blue today. It's truly fate! Perhaps it's all guided by destiny, who knows~"

Lady Toki looked at the old man before her, the legendary swordsmith Shimotsuki Kozaburo, who was famous throughout Wano Country, and spoke with a smile.

"Inhale! Exhale..."

Upon hearing this, the old man calmly sat down. He put down his katana, picked up his pipe, took a deep drag, and exhaled a cloud of smoke. He looked at Lady Toki with indifference and asked suspiciously, "If I remember correctly, you are the son of that old man, Kozuki Sukiyaki, and the wife of Oden, right? I once saw rumors about you and Oden in the newspapers! You two are really bold! You actually dared to rampage across the sea with that Whitebeard?! Aren't you afraid of offending the World Government and being imprisoned?! So, why aren't you in Wano Country as the daimyo's wife? Why have you come to my secluded village?!"

"Wano Country no longer exists..."

"Whether it's Lord Sukiyaki, Kozuki Oden, the Kurozumi family (enemies of the Kozuki family), or the Shimotsuki clan (Lady Kousaburo's maternal clan), they have all been defeated in the battle against the 'Four Emperors' Kaido of the Beasts and his Beasts Pirates! Lord Sukiyaki, Oden, and Lord Shimotsuki Ushimaru have all perished! My son, Kozuki Momonosuke, has disappeared without a trace since the war..."

As Madam Shi spoke, a hint of desolation appeared on her face.

"What a fierce battle!"

"Just who exactly is Kaido of the Beasts?"

"Even the naturally strong Oden and the swordsman Ushimaru who showed amazing swordsmanship talent from a young age, when they joined forces, were no match for him?!"

Upon hearing Lady Toki's words, Kousaburo's face immediately showed shock, his eyes flashing with disbelief! Kousaburo had left the closed-off Wano Country without permission about thirty years ago! Before leaving, he had met the young Oden and Ushimaru. After seeing them, he knew Wano Country's future was secure, and thus he left without hesitation. He never expected such a thing to happen. Truly, man proposes, God disposes; the world is unpredictable!

"Kaido of the Beasts is a monster..."

When Lady Toki mentioned Kaido, a shadow involuntarily fell across her face.

"call……"

Upon hearing this, Kousaburo calmly took a puff of his pipe. After his expression gradually calmed down, he looked at Madam Shi and asked, "So, what brings you here to see me? Since even Sukiyaki, Oden, and Gyumaru couldn't defeat this opponent, it would be pointless for you to call upon me! At best, I'm just a craftsman who's slightly skilled in sword forging; I can't be of any help to you in combat! Besides, I've almost forgotten my sword-forging skills in recent years. Now I'm just an old man who hates trouble and plans to live in seclusion here until the end of time..."

"Ha ha……"

"Lord Kousaburo is too kind! I came here not to ask you to go to Wano Country to avenge me..."

"Just as you said! If even Oden couldn't defeat this opponent, then Wano Country alone could never defeat it in a lifetime!"

"Therefore, in order to completely defeat Kaido of the Beasts, I have no choice but to borrow some external help! As you may have seen, I came here with people from the World Government..."

Lady Shi smiled at Kousaburo.

"What is your current identity?!"

Upon hearing this, Kousaburo narrowed his eyes and looked Madam Shi up and down before asking her a question.

"My current identity is that of the fifth wife of Sir Char Aznable, one of the world's noble families residing in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

Madam Shi looked at Kousaburo and smiled.

"The fifth wife of a world-class noble family?!"

"What a source of trouble!"
