Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Kaido fought his entire life, facing Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Roger's Haki, and the siege of Marine Admirals.

But Kaido was never afraid.

Because he knew those people were on the same level as him, opponents with whom he could compete in strength.

Whether you win or lose, it's extremely difficult to determine a true life or death in these battles.

Because Kaido's physique is located at the top of this sea.

Of course, Kaido has never heard of Loki on Giant Island, otherwise he wouldn't have this thousands-of-meters-long blue dragon.

It was just a spicy snack of Nidhogg, the black dragon tens of thousands of meters in size that Loki transformed into.

Unfortunately, even with a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, top-tier Haki cultivation, and the physique of the highest sea level, Kaido-sensei...

In the latest version of the One Piece test server update, it has also been reduced to a stepping stone.

As for that flamingo who used to sit in prison reading newspapers, wearing glasses, and now who knows where it is hiding, it doesn't even have the right to cosplay as a speed bump.

The original One Piece storyline has entered the Age of Gods.

But Shen Jue is different.

He is never worried that appearing too early will make him vulnerable to being outmaneuvered by the game's version updates, turning him into a stepping stone or a speed bump.

In that battle in Junji Itō's world, he had clearly defined his own strength.

The gap between Shen Jue and the ordinary Four Emperors is far greater than the gap between Rocks and a civilian general.

Kaido looked up at Shen Jue's face and felt a feeling he had never experienced before.

That's the terrifying experience of an ordinary person standing on a withered tree branch beside a bottomless abyss, looking into the abyss.

Kaido, a mighty beast, truly couldn't defeat this monster in human skin.

Even the strength of steel couldn't describe Shen Jue's physique. Kaido suspected that his Thunderous Bagua strike had hit an unknown object far more sturdy than the Poneglyphs.

Kaido's body began to fall.

He loosened the grip, which had turned to slag, and let his arms hang loosely at his sides.

Kaido lay on his back, his eyes still fixed on Shen Jue, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints in shock.

His mouth was open, as if he wanted to say something, but only a hoarse syllable came out of his throat, like the sound of an old bellows leaking air.

The wind rushed into his ears, whistling through them.

His falling posture resembled a totem of a hundred beasts that had been shot down.

Kaido crashed into the ruins of Onigashima.

The ground collapsed downwards from the point of his impact, with the depth of the collapse increasing layer by layer.

The sound of cracking rock came from underground, muffled and huge, making the people standing on Ghost Island feel as if the earth beneath their feet was wailing.

Dust billowed into the sky, forming a small mushroom cloud. Rocks and dust flew hundreds of meters into the air before crashing down like a torrential rain.

Yamato stood at a distance, covering his mouth.

She saw Shen Jue still standing in the air, hands in his pockets, looking down at the deep crater Kaido had created.

His hair fluttered gently in the wind, and his clothes were so clean that not even a speck of dust remained.

He raised his right hand and dusted his left shoulder with his fingertips.

There was nothing there, but he still dusted it off, as casually as brushing away a non-existent cookie crumb after finishing his afternoon tea.

"Go, Brother Shen Jue! You must defeat Kaido!"

Yamato's voice made Kaido's fingers tremble as he fell.

Bottom of the deep pit.

Kaido lay on his back with his limbs outstretched, like a giant demon nailed to a specimen board.

Above his head, Shen Jue's figure was outlined in a blurry silhouette by the sunlight.

The figure wasn't tall, but in Kaido's view, it blocked out the entire sky.

Kaido stared intently at the silhouette with his one eye that wasn't covered in blood, his lips moving in a hoarse, almost inaudible voice.

"What exactly are you?"

"Kaido of the Beasts, as a pirate, are you prepared to die in battle?" Shen Jue looked down at Kaido, his figure slightly lowered.

Members of the Beasts Pirates gathered around.

These pirates trembled with fear and tried to escape.

But King, the leader, managed to keep these pirates fighting.

Shen Jue looked at the pirates around him. None of them dared to meet his gaze. Although they were terrified, they still did not run away.

"You witnessed my battle with Kaido, yet you didn't immediately flee?"

Shen Jue looked at the large number of pirates and chuckled, "You pirates can be considered brave and resolute people."

"Overlord!" Jin spread his pterosaur wings again and flew to a position slightly lower than Shen Jue, saying in a deep voice, "You are all alone."

"Enough is enough!"

"You might not be able to kill all of us before you run out of energy!"

Shen Jue glanced at Jin with some surprise. Jin, who was known for his rationality and composure, had actually said such a thing.

What exactly gave him that confidence?

"Are you misunderstanding something?" Shen Jue raised her hand and gently patted him.

"It's not me who's surrounded, it's you."

A dazzling light exploded above the clouds.

The light pierced through the dust that filled the sky above the ghost island, illuminating every single speck of dust.

The light itself seemed to have a physical form, shooting down from the dome in beams, creating countless sharp-edged spots of light on the ruins.

Then, the light began to converge.

All the scattered light rays converged back at the same instant, condensing into a cross-shaped point of light directly above the crater Kaido had created.

The light spot expanded, deformed, and stretched into a muscular human silhouette.

Golden light particles were still emanating from the edges of the outline, like sparks splashed during welding.

The next second, the outline materialized.

The new Marine Admiral Kizaru stood in the air.

But no one could recognize him at first glance.

Everyone who has seen Kizaru.

Whether they were pirates who had seen the bounty posters or former colleagues from the Navy Headquarters.

In my memory, Borsalino was always a thin, languid figure, with brown sunglasses covering half his face, his hands in the pockets of his striped suit trousers, and his back slightly hunched, like an old Shiba Inu that hadn't woken up yet.

The man standing in the air at this moment has absolutely nothing to do with the word "emaciated".

His striped suit was stretched taut, each stripe deformed by the stretching of the fabric.

The fabric at the shoulders bulged out into two rounded arcs, and the shirt buttons at the chest were under tremendous tension, revealing skin tanned to a wheat color by the fluorescent lights between the buttons.

Those are muscles.

Solid, bulging muscles with an explosive and steely texture.

Kizaru's arms were no longer hanging down at his sides as before, but were now slightly outward.

His overdeveloped deltoid muscles prevented his arms from naturally fitting close to his body.

His forearm was several sizes thicker than before, with bluish veins winding from his wrist to his elbow.

Kizaru lowered his head, his brown sunglasses slipped down to the tip of his nose, and he stretched out a finger to push the sunglasses back, the same slow and leisurely motion.

But his lips didn't curl into a wide grin as usual; there was no smug, dismissive smile that seemed to say, "This is such a hassle."

He was laughing, but it was a different kind of laughter.

Only one corner of his mouth turned up, revealing a few teeth, and a light blue stubble appeared on his chin.

This expression, placed on his face which was ten times more rugged than before, made him look like a leopard surveying its prey.

"Oh~~~"

Kizaru dragged out the last syllable, his voice still having that sticky, musky tone, but coming from this body, it had an added layer of deep resonance within the stickiness.

"Marshal Shen Jue has prepared plenty of surprises for your Beasts Pirates!"

Kizaru tilted his head, his trapezius muscles bulging and stretching his collar out of shape.

"Thanks to Marshal Shen Jue's guidance, I've been completely transformed!"

During the days that Shen Jue had taken him to the new naval headquarters, aside from the daily tasks of suppressing pirates and maintaining order,

Kizaru, this old bone, was subjected to hellish, devilish training by Shen Jue.

Shen Jue has completely made up for Kizaru's previous shortcomings in physique and Haki.

The current Kizaru even has the muscular outline that was only seen in Baki's art style.

It has to be said that Shen Jue suddenly found Kizaru much more pleasing to the eye.

Kizaru used to slack off in the former Navy because the former Navy was a violent institution serving the World Government, and its so-called justice was a form of self-castration with a schizophrenic nature.

Because of the Celestial Dragons, the original Navy's sense of justice has been reduced to that of a little girl who can be dressed up and posed in various ways by the World Government.

Now, Kizaru, a member of the new Navy, is truly committed to justice and has transformed into the "Yellow Flash," constantly fighting on the front lines to eliminate pirates and protect people's safety.

But Kizaru's arrival is not the end.

A second loud bang came from the sky above Ghost Island.
