One Piece: From the God Valley Era

Her figure, appearance, and signature bun hairstyle left a deep impression on Acnoya.

He could recognize her at a glance, even if she was standing in a crowd, which is why those words came out so easily.

As Acnoa noticed Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Oden also noticed Acnoa, and the two exchanged a glance from dozens of meters apart.

At that moment, Kozuki Oden was certain that the man before him was extremely strong, stronger than anyone he had ever seen.

And he should be the leader of this group, while the dragon guy should be a sorcerer.

This was what his intuition told him, and he also had a bad feeling about it.

He always trusted his intuition.

"Who...are you!?"

With a serious expression, Kozuki Oden drew two longswords from his waist and slowly walked towards Acnoya, his aura gradually increasing.

A Heavenly Feather Blade.

A Yama sword.

Among them, Enma is a demon sword that can autonomously absorb the wielder's Haki and become stronger, but excessive absorption will cause the body to wither and even die.

Only those who can tame Yama can truly wield this demonic sword.

Kozuki Oden completely mastered the power of Enma.

"I?"

Acnoya had his hands in his pockets, completely ignoring Kozuki Oden.

He would have taken a closer look at Kozuki Oden if he had left Wano Country and traveled around the New World, but the current Kozuki Oden, while strong, is not strong enough.

"My name is Acnoya, and I am the captain of the Dragon Ball Pirates. From today onwards, Wano Country will be my territory."

"However, as a member of the Kozuki clan, you certainly wouldn't allow me to do that."

"Then let me see your strength. If you have enough power, then you can stop all of this. If not, then please die."

"Kaido, it's all yours now."

"Gloria, go to Kozuki Castle and capture Kozuki Sukiyaki, but be careful not to mess things up."

Akunoa reminded him.

Gloria is one of the strongest members of the Rocks Pirates, and she is also a woman at the top of the Wano Country.

However, Wano Country also has Devil Fruits, and there are Oniwabanshu who will protect the shogun's safety; there are also ninjas among them.

The outside world knows very little about Wano Country, and if we are careless, we could still make a mess of things, which is why he gave us a warning.

"Don't worry," Gloria said confidently. "You already told me about Wano Country, so I won't be careless."

"After all, this concerns your plans, and I won't let them fall apart halfway."

"Is that Kozuki Castle over there?"

Acnoya nodded at the tallest building and said, "Yes, that's Kozuki Castle. I sensed an aura similar to Kozuki Oden's; it must be Kozuki Sukiyaki."

"Understood, I'll be right back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gloria took long strides and walked towards that direction.

"Kin'emon, Denjiro!" Kozuki Oden roared.

The two, realizing what was happening, immediately rushed to Gloria's side and drew their katana.

"Woman, this isn't a place for you to run wild. You'd better leave your life here!"

"Leave your lives here?" Gloria scoffed. "You ignorant fools, you really are..."

"Pathetically weak!"

boom!

boom!

In an instant, Kin'emon and Denjiro were sent flying backward, their eyes rolling back, blood spurting from their mouths as they struck the houses on either side with a deafening roar.

The house collapsed, obscuring the figures of the two people.

Kin'emon and Denjiro, having been trained by Kozuki Oden, are considered quite strong in Wano Country, but they are still far from being able to compete with Gloriosa, the monster from the Rocks Pirates.

It's perfectly normal for one person to defeat them instantly with a single kick.

However... Kin'emon is ridiculously tough.

Even if he were to take Kaido's Thunder Bagua at his peak, he could quickly get back up and continue to take it face-to-face.

This level of fragility is truly terrifying.

However, Kin'emon will need to stay in bed for a while now.

"So strong!"

Seeing this scene from not far away, Kozuki Oden's pupils shrank: "They really don't have good intentions."

"As the daimyo of Jiuli and the son of a general, I cannot allow you to continue your nonsense here."

"Oden Two-Sword Style: Peach Blossom Spring!"

Kozuki Oden didn't hold back, immediately unleashing his ultimate attack, with Gloriosa as his target.

Gloria ignored Kozuki Oden's attack and continued walking towards Kozuki Castle.

"Thunder..."

"Gossip!"

Just then, Kaido swung his Eight Precepts to block Kozuki Oden's attack, grinning maliciously: "Urrrrrrr, Kozuki Oden, your opponent is me."

"You're not going anywhere until you kill me!"

This guy... blocked my attack, and he's incredibly strong.

Kozuki Oden looked at Kaido in front of him, his pupils contracted, and a powerful force flowed through his body from Ame no Habakiri and Enma. His arms trembled slightly, and he was sent flying backward.

As he flew backward, Kozuki Oden maintained his balance, tumbling twice in the air before landing on the ground. His twin swords were embedded in the ground as cushioning, leaving a long mark.

"Who are you!"

After stopping his retreating body, Kozuki Oden stood up, pulled out the longsword stuck in the ground, and said in a deep voice.

"Kaido!"

"The executives of the Dragon Ball Pirates!"

"Now it's your turn to face Kozuki Oden." Kaido grinned and charged forward, brandishing the Eight Precepts.

As Kozuki Oden watched Kaido charge forward, a sinister smile crept across his face.

A formidable opponent?

This is what he has been looking forward to, and now he can finally fight to his heart's content.

After killing this guy in front of me, I'll kill the guy watching the show.

I, Kozuki Oden... will not lose, I will win!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Kozuki Oden and Kaido clashed fiercely, and the aftershocks from the collision overturned people and things on the nearby streets.

People who were still on the street quickly fled, but many were still affected.

Acnoa didn't react to the scattering crowd. Instead, he found a stool, sat down, crossed his legs, and watched the fierce battle unfold before him.

Currently, Kozuki Oden has the upper hand, but Kaido is still fighting in human form, which is not his strongest form.

The strongest form is the human-beast form.

When Kaido transforms into a small dragon, his strength will increase.

This is one of the advantages of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users: they can unlock multiple stages.

Stage 1 human form.

Second stage: Beast form.

Three-stage human-beast form.

Now, Kaido has directly entered the third phase.

Kaido the Little Dragon Man, reporting for duty!
