One Piece: Ascending the Divine Path

Chapter 73 Desperate Situation! Heroes Appear! (4K)

The Kingdom of August is a member state of the World Government located in the mid-to-late New World.

The country is not very large; it is still a classic combination of one city and many villages.

However, unlike those poor non-member states, the Kingdom of Auguste is very wealthy.

This country has a highly developed watchmaking industry, and the timepieces crafted by its artisans are exquisite and reliable, highly sought after by the world's elite.

Through the watchmaking industry alone, this small country with a population of less than ten million has achieved a level of wealth that most countries on the high seas would never even dream of.

Even the gold standard, which is a huge burden for many member states, is nothing special in the eyes of this country.

The only flaw of this country is probably its location, which is too far removed from the New World.

Fortunately, the monsters in the New World generally don't attack member states of the government, and the naval bases near these countries are sufficient to handle ordinary pirates, with a rear admiral from the Marine Headquarters stationed there.

However, in recent days, the people of this country have been somewhat fearful and uneasy. With news that Kaido and Wang Zhi may be about to start a war in the vicinity, who can sleep soundly?

Those are Kaido and Wang Zhi!

Aside from Whitebeard, one of the most renowned pirates in the New World!

The peaceful and prosperous life of the Kingdom of Auguste could be completely destroyed by these two monsters with just a flick of their fingers.

Even with the navy sending an additional vice admiral to garrison the area, the sense of panic did not diminish in the slightest.

At that very moment, outside the country's port, a wrecked ship swiftly broke through the water and came into view.

On the wrecked deck, the pirate captain, his forehead still bleeding, looked back in shock.

Seeing the ship leisurely approaching on the horizon, he slammed his fist on the gunwale in anger. "Damn Paris! He's completely toying with us!"

That monster under Wang Zhi's command!

Arrow after arrow was fired from thousands of meters away. There was no way to dodge or fight back. All they could do was watch helplessly as the ship sank bit by bit.

The other four ships were destroyed, and they were the only ones who managed to survive until now.

And this is all because that monster Paris is playing cat and mouse!

"That bastard will regret this!"

The pirate captain said in a deep voice, "Brother Jin is already on his way!"

He looked up at the island ahead, "If we can land in the Kingdom of Auguste, it will be a victory for us!"

As long as they can hide in this country, even a monster like Paris won't be able to easily find them all!

but.

Whoosh!

A sharp whistling sound rang out.

Huge waves suddenly erupted on the sea surface, and the sudden surge of the sea made the already dilapidated ship tremble even more violently.

"What?!"

The pirate captain looked up in surprise.

Only then did he realize that on the distant port, figures in white uniforms had already lined up, with heavy cannons aimed at them.

"Turn around immediately, pirates!"

The sound, amplified by loudspeakers, resounded across the sea: "Otherwise, we will bombard you with all our might!"

"navy?"

The pirate captain's tone suddenly became dry.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, we're really doomed!

The ship remained stuck there, but the pursuing ship behind it accelerated.

At the bow of the ship, Paris, the chief archer and a high-ranking officer of the Wang Zhi Pirates, leisurely drew an arrow from the quiver at his back, seemingly taking a relaxed stance. "Oh, what a poor little rabbit, driven to the brink. Well then, let me free you."

A dark, domineering aura quickly spread, covering the entire arrow.

The arrow pierced the air in the next instant.

Everything seemed to quiet down. The arrow silently caught up with the wrecked sailboat, entering straight in from the stern and exiting straight out from the bow.

Silence reigned, without a ripple.

The ship continued to rock in the waves, and the people on deck continued to wail in despair.

No one realized that death was imminent.

boom!

The force emanating from the arrow was a beat too slow to blast a massive tunnel through the ship's interior.

Amidst the violent tremors, the ammunition compartment was instantly detonated.

boom!!

Flames erupted from deep within the ship's hull, instantly engulfing the mast, the canvas, and everyone on deck.

The entire ship shattered in mid-air, with burning wood and debris falling into the waves.

But the arrow did not stop.

It continued straight ahead, grazing right past someone's ear, and smashing a row of houses behind it to pieces.

Lieutenant General Jennis from G-14 base immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and he turned around stiffly.

Almost there!

If he hadn't suddenly turned his head, he would have been hit directly!

Is that an arrow?

Just what kind of monster is Paris the Archer?!

Johnny clenched his fist. Surely this guy wouldn't attack a member state without a reason?

On the distant sea, looking at the ship engulfed in flames, Paris nodded slightly with satisfaction. "Hunting complete."

He glanced at the country in the distance and pursed his lips slightly.

The captain forbade them from easily taking action against the member states.

There's no way around it; their lair is right there on Beehive Island. If they really anger the World Government, they'll be in big trouble.

He looked back. Was the "return" too late?

A voice, though calm, couldn't hide its anger, coming from above.

What?

Paris suddenly looked up.

In the sky, a dark figure hovered, flapping its wings.

Black wings, black leather jacket, black mask, black gloves.

Only the flames burning behind his head were not black.

Paris's eyes flickered, then he excitedly drew his bow and nocked an arrow. "The Flame of Fire! Has it finally arrived?"

The man in mid-air didn't pay attention to the man immediately, but instead looked at the still burning flame on the sea not far away.

"That,"

Jin slowly drew his sword, flames surging from its blade. "Let you all perish in these flames."

"Fire Dragon Emperor!"

As the sword, surging with flames, swung down, a massive fire dragon roared down!

The temperature of the entire ocean was soaring, and the air was distorted by the scorching heat.

"Piercing Arrow!"

Paris showed no fear. He loosened his fingers, the bowstring snapped back, and a black arrow shot out.

The fiery dragon was instantly pierced through, and then...

"Um?"

Jin looked down, and the arrow struck him directly in the chest.

He should have dodged it already; how could an arrow possibly curve?

Below, Paris's expression also changed.

The arrow did pierce the fire dragon, but the massive dragon was only blasted through, and continued to rampage and crush downwards.

boom!

The next instant, the ship was smashed to pieces by the fire dragon. The fire dragon, its power undiminished, crashed into the sea, boiling the ocean and sending steam billowing into the sky.

"Is this the Lunaria race?"

Paris sped through the air, glancing back at the devastation on the sea.

With that one blow, he was the only one left alive!

Damn it, Kaido's top officers are stronger than I thought!

Could it be that Kaido is actually stronger than we thought?

But now is not the time to think about these things. Facing Jin, who can fly, fighting him at sea with his ability would be suicide.

Paris looked at the island that was getting closer and closer.

At this point, who cares about any nonsense about tacit understanding with the World Government?

Only by landing on this island can one have a chance to fight Jhin.

"Where would you like to go?"

Paris turned around in astonishment as a jet-black pterosaur flapped its wings and flew towards him, but there were no flames burning behind his head.

So fast!

The enormous wings slashed down at Paris like sharp blades.

Paris gritted his teeth and could only use his domineering aura to harden his longbow and meet the attack.

Fortunately, his longbow was made of metal, and the two bow arms were also blades, so he could also use them to chop!

But the moment the blade collided with the black wings of the embers, Paris felt an overwhelming force surge through him.

He transformed into a shooting star and plummeted towards the distant Kingdom of Auguste.

On the coast.

Lieutenant General Johnny stared blankly at Paris, who was soaring through the sky and falling behind him, and then looked at King, the Wildfire, who was rapidly pursuing him.

My back was instantly soaked with sweat.

shit!

"Prepare for battle!!"

He roared.

Now, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it!

Paris flew over the outskirts of the city and finally crashed heavily into a block of streets.

A series of houses became his speed bumps, smashing to pieces.

Amidst the chaos and dust, the surrounding citizens scattered in terror.

"What happened?!"

"A meteorite?"

"Have the pirates attacked yet?"

Even worse off were those caught in the fall of Paris, who were either killed or injured.

Instantly, cries of agony and screams filled the air.

At that moment, Jhin had already flapped his wings and arrived.

"Fire Dragon Emperor!"

The enormous fire dragon continued its menacing rampage.

The surrounding citizens were stunned.

"Yes, yes, it's the Ashes of the Wildfire!!"

"The Beasts Pirates are attacking!"

"Run! Run!!"

A sense of despair spread instantly, and everyone started running.

But how can one outrun them?

The fiery dragon crashed into the ground, instantly shattering the surface.

The entire neighborhood was shaken by the earthquake, and houses began to collapse one after another.

The flames spread like ocean waves, engulfing everything in their path.

"Hahaha! Who can that move even hit?"

Jhin turned his head and saw a somewhat disheveled Paris on a rooftop not far away, already drawing his bow and nocking an arrow once more.

"Do you want to race me?"

The flames behind Jin's head went out, and his body shot out once more.

"Things are different now!"

Paris stared wide-eyed, his eyes displaying a crosshair-like pattern.

Whoosh!

The jet-black swordsman shot out.

Jin suddenly used his speed to refract in the air.

But the next moment, the arrow that had been pointing straight ahead suddenly changed direction and was still heading towards Jin.

What?

Jin paused slightly.

Tracking arrows?

Is it Paris's ability?

In that case, no matter how fast he is, he won't be able to dodge it!

Since that's the case, then let's not hide!

With a single slash, Jin shattered the arrow, but at the same time, the powerful aura emanating from the arrow caused Jin's speed to abruptly halt.

"Hide as much as you want, Ash of the Wildfire!"

Paris's body flickered, creating distance once more. His arms became a phantom as arrows shot towards him.

Shave and Moonwalk?

This guy is really fast.

The face beneath the ashes mask furrowed slightly.

The cadres under Wang Zhi were quite difficult to deal with.

However, he wanted to see how many arrows this guy had!

Without pausing, Jin transformed into a giant winged dragon and pursued again, its wings turning into two giant blades that struck down arrow after arrow.

Meanwhile, since the speed cannot be fully unleashed due to the obstruction of arrows, we will enter defensive mode.

The flames behind his head reignited.

"The Twin Emperors of Blades!"

Clusters of flames, like bullets, chased after Paris.

But Paris was too fast for the flames to hit him.

The building below was hit.

The unassuming flame bullets easily pierced through the house and ignited flammable materials.

As embers swept across the city, the flames continued to spread.

"Stop! Pirates!!"

Vice Admiral Johnny, leading the pursuing navy, stared at the city's current state of devastation with bloodshot eyes. "You're courting death!"

The arrival of the navy gave the terrified citizens a glimmer of hope.

"Stop them, sir!"

"Save this country, Lieutenant General!"

Prayer voices came from all directions, and Lieutenant General Johnny gritted his teeth.

Even if it means death, all we can do now is fight.

Johnny instinctively turned to the side, then suddenly felt a chill on his left shoulder, followed by a loud bang behind him, and was blown away by the massive explosion.

When he landed heavily on the ground, blood was already gushing uncontrollably from his mouth.

A sharp pain shot through his shoulder. He stared blankly at his left shoulder, where a bloody mess lay, his arm nowhere to be seen.

In the distance, atop a magnificent tower in the royal palace, Paris scoffed, "The navy shouldn't get in the way."

"Lieutenant General!!"

The surrounding marines screamed in terror.

Even a lieutenant general was taken down in an instant?

The surrounding people were even more desperate.

Who can stop them?

"Fire Dragon Emperor".

Jhin paid no attention to this and sent another huge fire dragon crashing down on Paris.

"Who can it hit?"

Paris chuckled and used Shave again to create distance.

So the fire dragon crashed straight down toward the palace.

Inside the palace, the king of the country, protected by his guards, stared blankly at the menacing dragon.

Is it all over?

Is this the end for this country?

Is there anyone who can save this country?

"A serious punch!"

boom!

A white torrent pierced the sky and suddenly crashed into the enormous fire dragon.

The violent power crushed the dragon inch by inch, and in the earth-shattering explosion, flames bloomed like brilliant flowers.

The king's eyes widened.

He saw a figure descend from the sky, landing lightly on the roof of the palace.

Behind that figure, on the coat fluttering in the wind, the two large characters for "Justice" were so moving at that moment.
