One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

Aaron held his breath, swung his right fist backhand, the air vibrated, a sudden gust of wind arose, and the smoke immediately dispersed.

Who knows what will happen if you inhale this smoke?

If I were to transform into a woman, it would become a stain on my life.

When the storm subsided, many pirates in the vicinity had still inhaled the poisonous gas and transformed into women.

That's considered good; some people's entire faces have already started to rot, and it's unknown what kind of potent and bizarre poison they've been given.

"Get out of the way, everyone! I'm going to flatten him with one slap!"

San Juan Wolf has transformed, its height exceeding 100 meters resembling a mountain of flesh.

That enormous hand looked like a house crashing down.

"Phoenix Feather!"

The three phoenix feathers fluttering behind Aaron transformed into 45 streaks of light, flying towards the palm.

The phoenix feather easily pierced through the giant hand, and a shower of blood immediately fell from the sky.

Phoenix flames rose from Aaron's body, evaporating the blood rain into a blood mist, which then vanished into the air in an instant.

San Juan Wolf's hand was pierced with dozens of bloody holes, causing him excruciating pain, and he dared not press his left hand down again.

Aaron, however, had already transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

"Sizzle..." Black and red lightning burst forth instantly, twisting and turning in the air like several moving snakes.

"Bang!"

Aaron punched the San Juan Wolf in the forehead.

San Juan Wolf swayed and fell backward.

Compared to Garp's Iron Fist that sent San Juan Wolf flying hundreds of meters, Aaron's punch was far less powerful.

Aaron landed back on the ground and shook his head: "Still a long way off. I don't know if it's a problem with my technique, or if my current strength isn't enough? Or maybe it's both?"

Blackbeard's expression turned serious, and he slightly curbed his underestimation of his opponent.

"You're so young, yet you've already mastered Conqueror's Haki!"

Aaron said, "I just learned how to make it recently, it's fresh out of the oven. Would you like to try some?"

The black-bearded man chuckled. "I'm curious. The flames on your body don't seem to be a Devil Fruit ability. But you're not a Lunaria either, because you don't have wings. Is it related to your armor? Could it be Vegapunk's new technology?"

Aaron said, "Why should I tell you?"

Blackbeard snorted, clenched his right fist, and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki in all directions.

"You rude brat!"

Blackbeard strode forward, his fist, wreathed in Conqueror's Haki, hurtling towards Aaron.

Aaron retaliated.

The two overwhelming colors collided, causing the air to churn and the gale to surge to the sides and upwards.

The two continued to unleash their Conqueror's Haki, resulting in a stalemate.

The clouds in the sky also seemed to split into two forces, surging and colliding.

Shiliu suddenly gave a sinister smile, his knife already drawn, and silently stabbed at Aaron's lower back.

"Phoenix Blaze!"

Flames erupted from Aaron's body, scorching the air and sending waves of intense heat surging outwards.

Shiryu's sneak attack failed, and he ended up looking disheveled.

But this action of his reminded Van Auger.

Van Augur raised his gun again and aimed it at Aaron.

Aaron turned his head and gave him a cold glance.

Van Augur felt like prey being targeted by a wild beast; a chill ran through him.

But his fingers still moved.

"Bang!"

With a soft click, what shot out of the gun barrel wasn't a bullet, but a flower.

"What the hell?!"

Van Augur was startled, then jolted awake. His sniper instincts kicked in, and he immediately rolled several meters to the side, taking cover behind a rock.

He still felt a pain in his foot, so he quickly pulled his foot back and hid behind the rocks, looking for an opportunity.

Lark, holding his gun, said with great concern, "Senior Aaron is really overwhelmed dealing with so many people by himself. Finbuddy, you should try to help him!"

"Fine," Finbdi said. "But you can't call me cruel anymore."

The lark said, "Can't I just close my eyes and cover my ears to not see or hear?"

"Boss, watch out!" Finch shouted.

"Tornado - Bad Wind!"

Several tornadoes rose out of thin air, and countless exceptionally sharp wind blades cut through everything around them.

Where the tornado passed, it left behind a trail of blood and mangled remains.

Blackbeard gritted his teeth in anger: "Bages, Lafayette, go and kill that damned dragon!"

While Laffitte hesitated, Burgess had already agreed: "Alright! Admiral, if we defeat this dragon, the power of this fruit will be mine!"

Blackbeard wanted to speak, but felt Aaron take a step closer, so he quickly turned around and gathered his domineering aura to deal with it.

Aaron was also wary of the blackbeard's other hand.

Sure enough, the black-bearded man's shoulder twitched, and his other hand reached for Aaron's wrist.

Aaron smiled and said, "Again?"

Blackbeard's large hand had already gripped Aaron's wrist, activating the Dark-Dark Fruit's power.

However, he couldn't grasp Aaron's physical form through the Saint Cloth.

Aaron's other hand moved as well: "Shatter!"

"Buzz..."

The shockwave from the impact, along with Aaron's Conqueror's Haki, was like a dam that had been holding back water for a long time suddenly opening its gates, instantly engulfing Blackbeard and swallowing him whole.

The black beard was like a small stone swept away by a flood, tumbling a few times before being stopped by a large rock.

Blackbeard stood up, wiped his mouth, and felt pain all over his body, as if his internal organs were churning.

"Impossible! How could this kid possess such overwhelming domineering aura! And such extensive combat experience!"

Van Augur, hiding behind a rock, said, "Admiral, this kid is strange. I'm afraid we won't be able to take away his abilities, but we'll be defeated by him instead."

The black-bearded man roared, "You mean, you want me to back down?"

Van Augur said, "We fought Marco and his gang for half a day and exhausted ourselves, which is why this kid stole the spotlight. We'll get our revenge sooner or later."

The man with the black beard looked to the other side of the island, where a group of reporters stood in clearly divided camps.

At this point, they no longer had the same desire for news; all they cared about was their own lives.

The man with the black beard said, "These reporters..."

Van Augur said, "Even if they report it as true, we still defeated the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates. It doesn't affect our goal of becoming one of the Four Emperors."

Blackbeard said, "My battle with Marco did indeed take a heavy toll. It's a pity that if I can't seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power this time, my chances in the future will be even slimmer."

Unwilling to give up, Blackbeard gathered his officers together: "This kid's ability is extremely strange; it's not listed in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia. Let's try again. If we can take him down and seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, we'll have a great chance to become the King of the World!"

"Men, follow me! Take him down!"

Aaron opened his arms wide: "Come on! Soaring Phoenix Wings!"

A pillar of fire rose from behind Aaron, soaring a hundred meters into the sky, and instantly transformed into a fiery phoenix with a wingspan of a hundred meters, surging towards Blackbeard and his gang with terrifying pressure.
