One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

A dozen meters above Katakuri's head, King, clad in black armor, transformed from his Pteranodon form into his humanoid form, flapping his large, black, fleshy wings as he hovered in the air, looking down at Katakuri.

"I will not submit to anyone, not even Kaido."

Katakuri's expression was cold and stern. He did not feel uneasy despite the disadvantageous battle environment. His tall figure stood at the bow of the pirate ship, and his gaze went past King and looked at Doflamingo behind him.

"Doflamingo, hand over Flampe, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, you'll die here."

Without waiting for Doflamingo's reply, he suddenly arched and sprang up his tall frame!

"boom!"

The bow of the pirate ship beneath his feet suddenly sank, and Katakuri's tall body instantly rose into the air. While in mid-air, his body lunged forward, transforming into a giant, rapidly spinning donut.

It was covered with sharp spikes and wrapped in jet-black Armament Haki.

The giant donut spun like a wheel in mid-air, cutting and tearing the air with a sharp whistling sound, and rushed straight towards Jin, who was blocking its way.

Jin's expression turned cold. He drew a strange longsword from his waist and slashed at the flying Katakuri.

"Fire Dragon Emperor!"

Facing a powerful opponent like Katakuri, Jhin showed no carelessness, starting with his ultimate move, Fire Dragon Roar.

The eerie longsword he held in his hand was something he had obtained by chance from the bamboo forest of Amigasa Village in Kuri, Wano Country.

There was an old man there who loved collecting weapons, and now he's robbed everything of it.

Surprisingly, in such a remote and dilapidated place as Amigasa Village, he actually managed to find several quite good swords, some even better than his previous one.

For example, the sword he's holding is the Second Generation Kitetsu, one of the 21 Great Grade Swords, a powerful demon sword that is said to bring misfortune to its master.

Now, in Jin's hands, it is unleashing a powerful killing intent unique to the demon sword.

As he unleashed the Second Generation Kitetsu with a whooshing slash, a massive fire dragon, its body ablaze with raging flames, roared and lunged at the spinning donut.

"Chop! Rice cake!"

"boom!"

The enormous fire dragon that had just pounced out exploded with a deafening roar, turning into flames that shot out in all directions.

A massive, spiked arm emerged from the shattered flames and slammed down toward Jin.

The powerful aura emanating from the massive arm exuded a majestic presence, as imposing as a mountain.

Not only that, but there were also streaks of black and red lightning flashing within the high-level Armament Haki.

Upon noticing this, Jhin's expression changed slightly. He flapped his wings sharply, and his tall body shot backward, dodging the massive arm that was crashing down on him.

"Overwhelming Haki? You...!"

At this moment, an expression of disbelief appeared in Jhin's eyes.

He can't be wrong.

Katakuri's punch just now actually contained the power of the Overlord!

Even when I fought him before, Katakuri didn't possess such powerful abilities.

But now...

Without time to think, Katakuri, who had shattered the Fire Dragon Emperor he had unleashed with a single punch, shot towards the Flamingo where Doflamingo was. His deep, ocean-like aura burst forth unrestrainedly at this moment, transforming into a wildly expanding black and red ball of light, like a world-destroying storm, crashing down on Doflamingo!

Upon seeing such terrifying Conqueror's Haki, Doflamingo's grin froze on his face.

He couldn't laugh anymore.

Instead, it turned into gritting his teeth.

A surge of Conqueror's Haki, emanating from his body and crackling with countless tiny black and red lightning bolts, charged towards the incoming black and red light.

"Boom!"

In just a moment of collision, Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki was utterly crushed and overwhelmed by Katakuri.

A massive, spiked foot, adorned with black and red lightning bolts, slammed down from mid-air, striking Doflamingo's outstretched arms.

"Oh!"

A sonic boom exploded in the air, and Doflamingo's eyes turned bloodshot. He felt as if he had been hit by a sea king, and he was unable to resist the powerful force from Katakuri. He was sent flying like a cannonball and crashed into the towering mast of the Flamingo.

Click!

The massive mast snapped, blood trickling from Doflamingo's mouth. His flying body crashed into the mast, breaking it and shattering the other side of the ship. He continued flying out of the ship, flying for over a hundred meters before barely managing to control an invisible thread hanging from the clouds to stabilize himself.

Taken a heavy blow, Doflamingo was both shocked and furious, and shouted angrily, "Jin! What are you doing? Stop him!"

Doflamingo never imagined that the gap between him and Katakuri would be so vast!

Not only did his Conqueror's Haki completely overwhelm him, but his strength was also incredibly fierce and unstoppable!

Doflamingo's expression shifted, his teeth clenched, and veins bulged on his forehead.

If Katakuri is really that powerful, then how did that brat Rorschach defeat such a formidable opponent?

Was it Katakuri's carelessness, or has that young Marine really become far more powerful than him?

"No! That's not right!" Jin flapped his wings and flew at top speed, his wide wings leaving a hazy phantom in the air, like a long black python, and slashed heavily at Katakuri.

"Emperor Dan Gong!"

The black wings were wreathed in a dark, domineering aura, and the ferocity of the slashes was in no way inferior to the second-generation Kitetsu in his hand.

However, before his wing could hit Katakuri, a large foot covered in spikes, as if waiting in his path, struck him hard on the neck as Jhin shot towards him.

A loud bang!

Jin grunted, flames erupted from the back of his head, and he flew back even faster than he had come, kicked dozens of meters into the sky by Katakuri's preemptive kick.

Although he was not seriously injured due to the special racial talent of the Lunaria race.

But Jin's expression grew increasingly solemn.

He flapped his wings and hovered in the sky, watching the Flamingo board Doflamingo. In front of Pica, he grabbed the unconscious Flampe and, with a leap, brought her back to Katakuri on the ship.

"When did your Haki become so powerful? Answer me, Katakuri! Have you been hiding something all this time?"

Jin's thoughts were churning, and he felt a tremor in his heart.

He had fought Katakuri before.

On the contrary, since both of them were the right-hand men of the Four Emperors' crews, and the territories occupied by the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates were adjacent, conflicts often broke out between them.

The two also frequently fought each other.

The two have always been evenly matched rivals.

Although King doesn't possess Conqueror's Haki, his powerful racial talent as a member of the Lunaria race means he's no weaker than Katakuri, who does.

Since Katakuri didn't master the power of Conqueror's Haki in the past, their battles usually ended with neither of them being able to defeat the other.

But now, Jin discovers that Katakuri's Haki is much stronger than before.

In particular, his Conqueror's Haki has reached the level of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement!

He even left his arm on the oven island.

He had clearly been defeated by that Lieutenant General Lan Lin.

Even though his mother, Charlotte Linlin, was already dead.

Why is it that Katakuri, instead of becoming decadent and depressed, has an even stronger aura than Charlotte Linlin did when she was still alive?

Charlotte Linlin's death seemed to have allowed the Charlotte family's greatest masterpiece to fully reveal its previously buried brilliance!

This man...

"As expected of someone even Kaido values, Katakuri, I acknowledge you! Take my strongest attack! If you can defeat me, then I might as well give you my position as the top member!"

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth beneath the mask of the demon sword. He gripped the Second Generation Kitetsu tightly, and his body lunged forward. Crimson flames erupted from the demon sword, and countless roaring, raging fire dragons surged forth from it, baring their fangs and howling in the sky. They radiated a violent heat that distorted the atmosphere, like heavenly fire flowing backward, rushing towards Katakuri and his entire pirate ship.

"Guardian! Fire Dragon Emperor!!"

On the pirate ship, Katakuri looked up at the sky, his tall and upright body standing like a javelin, his right fist clenched, and streaks of dazzling Conqueror's Haki lightning shooting out from his fist.

"Overlord's Haki entwines! The glutinous rice ball sings!"

As his right arm rapidly expanded and extended, it blasted towards the fiery dragons that were swooping down from the sky.

A white, glutinous mass surged at his shoulder.

A series of white, glutinous waves surged forth, twisting and expanding in the air, transforming into enormous black arms wrapped in black and red lightning, like a thousand-armed Guanyin. In an instant, hundreds of arms appeared, blasting out along with his right arm, all striking towards Jin's ultimate move, the Guardian Fire Dragon Emperor.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Massive explosions erupted in the sky, and giant black arms shot upwards, shattering roaring fire dragons with overwhelming force. Under Ember's gaze, they resembled giant black pythons, rising against the sky and hurtling towards him.

"Katakuri, you really are... amazing!"

Jin sighed, swung his demon sword, and cut off dozens of charging black giant arms in succession. In the end, he still couldn't stop Katakuri's Overwhelming Fist. He was hit with a muffled groan, flames surged behind his head, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his body was shot out.

Katakuri, who had blasted Jin away with overwhelming force, did not press his advantage. Instead, he sighed and looked up at the sky above.

Dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning roared incessantly. A huge, blue creature was faintly visible in the thick clouds, revealing only its scales and claws.

A terrifying and heavy aura, as imposing as a mountain, was pressing down from the rolling dark clouds.

"Kaido!"

Chapter 520 The Beasts Pirates' Size Increases Dramatically

Everyone on the sea was stunned, staring blankly at the terrifying, mythical sight in the sky.

A ferocious and majestic dragon head emerged from the thick, dark clouds, like a city wall, looking down.

Its massive, hundreds-of-meters-long, winding dragon body appeared and disappeared amidst the rolling thunder and dark clouds behind it, bringing an immense sense of oppression to everyone's hearts.

"Kaido!"

Doflamingo, floating in the distance, also silently watched as the enormous dragon slowly descended from the sky.

Kaido of the Beasts!

No matter how many times he met this man, he would feel a deep tremor in his heart every time they met.

Only this man could inflict a psychological shadow on the unruly boy that he could never overcome.
