One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

Sanji, engulfed in flames, strode through the air, each step increasing his speed. He transformed into a meteorite, bursting into flames and crashing down upon his opponent's resilient body.

"Devil's Teppanyaki".

The meteor-like impact caused its stalemated body to roll to one side, giving Zoro the opportunity to fly out.

call out!call out!

Luffy and Sanji returned to the ground.

"It's too hard; the fire-based creatures' ability to be roasted by flames is greatly reduced."

"Yes! Even my rubber hands can feel the pain, but such powerful dragon meat must taste delicious." Luffy grinned, drool dripping from his mouth.

"Okay! I'll slaughter it later and grill it for you."

"Thanks, Sanji!"

"Don't kill him." Zoro drew his twin swords and stopped in front of Luffy and Sanji, watching the dragon gradually rise with a smile.

"Why? I really want to eat dragon meat!" Luffy asked, puzzled.

"Pet! You all have strong legs and can fly in the sky, I can't fall behind you. It's rare to encounter such a powerful flying creature, I've decided that it will be my pet from now on." Zoro laughed as he looked at the dragon-like creature he was growing increasingly fond of.

He pulled off the headscarf and tightly bound the hair ornament on his head, putting a golden headband on his forehead to make his mind clearer.

"Luffy, perverted cook, Brook, you guys stay away! This is going to be a one-on-one battle between me and it!"

"What a pity, there's no more new food!"

"Alright! Zoro, this dragon is yours!"

"Mr. Zoro, please be careful." Seeing Zoro's serious attitude, the three nodded and said.

Since we've already taken in Little Squid and Little Green, adding a dragon won't hurt!

"Gurgle! Gurgle!"

The giant dragon regained its mobility, its ferocious eyes fixed on Zoro's direction, and then its throat heaved.

Zoro's eyes are getting brighter and brighter!

"I want that fire dragon!"

Chapter 242 Subjugation?

"Three-Sword Style: Black Rope Great Tornado!"

With a deep roar, black streams of energy extended from the longsword imbued with boundless ghostly energy. With arms outstretched and feet stomping, he spun like a top, and the boundless ghostly energy instantly swirled into a black tornado storm that rushed toward the giant dragon before him.

Glug glug! Glug glug!

The pillar of fire that was about to spew out was instantly blocked back into its throat by the powerful wind and waves, and a tornado-like storm, like a black rope, instantly surrounded its entire body.

Feeling its body sealed and imprisoned, it flapped its enormous wings, struggling desperately to break free from the tornado that was coiling around it. But the deep, eerie ghostly energy was penetrating and the chill emanating from its very soul slowed its movements. Swirled by the tornado, its heavy body became uncontrollable, spinning rapidly into the sky with the force of the ghostly wind.

As the fire dragon rose into the sky with the tornado, Zoro, having dissipated the remaining force, gripped his longsword in reverse, with the blade positioned at the very front of his body. Black demonic energy spread and clung to the blade, immediately rising upwards, creating two black energy blades that shot towards the fire dragon, which had nowhere to gain leverage in the sky.

"Dual-wielding style - Double slash - Ascend the tower".

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The piercing scream drew two sparks across the opponent's skin, the remaining force tearing through the hard skin and disappearing into the distance.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The dizziness and pain in its skin caused the giant dragon surging through the sky to roar angrily. Its spinning wings struggled to break through the dissipating tornado, forcibly stabilizing its swirling body. A ball of flame billowed from its mouth, its ferocious face pointing directly at the ground.

Its pupils, the size of a water vat, instantly contracted into slits. The flames in its mouth were extinguished in fright, leaving only a wisp of blue smoke. A giant phoenix-shaped wave of energy, carrying a chilling ghostly aura, crashed directly into its jaw amidst its terrified gaze.

"Three-Sword Style: Thousand and Eighty Troubled Phoenix!"

Zoro, having regained his footing, flashed a row of white teeth, sheathed his three long swords, and stared at the dragon that had been sent flying by the cannon's attack, glancing back at Sanji's presence.

"You lecherous cook, send me upstairs. This little bit of damage hasn't even hurt it."

He then jumped towards Sanji.

"Green algae head, then, first meat impact!"

Sanji responded, and rows of gleaming black coals covered his calves. Twisting his waist, his coal-shard-covered legs kicked upwards with powerful wind pressure. The kick struck Zoro's foot squarely, propelling him like a cannonball towards the dragon.

As Zoro flew, a smile appeared on his lips, and the muscles in his arms bulged instantly, gathering power. He drew his long sword from his waist and slashed it rapidly, striking the giant dragon in the sky.

"Dual Sword Style! Dual Power Rage!"

"Boom!" A circular shockwave powerful enough to shake the atmosphere was instantly created by Zoro's sword, the white shockwave carrying a rolling sound that reached far into the distance.

The dragon was struck by the blade, its neck snapped by the powerful impact, and its massive body plummeted into the burning buildings below.

Rumble! Rumble!

Its colossal body directly destroyed a cluster of abandoned buildings, kicking up countless plumes of dust that obscured its majestic form.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Zoro, who had crashed back to the ground, made a heavy thud as he walked up to the dragon, staring into its pupils and letting out a sinister voice.

"Fire Dragon! Surrender or die?"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

As a ferocious race, the dragons would not easily admit defeat, and they opened their huge mouths and let out a powerful roar in an attempt to resist.

"Dual-wielding style - Double Slash - Flash".

Two horizontal slashes instantly appeared on its hard head.

"Fire Dragon! Surrender or die?"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

“Yi Gangli Luo”.

"Mabi, watch out! There's a giant dragon flying not far ahead!" Nami warned from the lookout tower, holding binoculars.

"Got it!" Mabi shouted from the back of the motorcycle.

As Franky's motorcycle sped forward, the long sword in his hand emitted a silvery-white orb of light, slicing through the air with the speed of the motorcycle, instantly creating a chasm tens of meters wide that allowed seawater to pour in, while simultaneously carrying the Sunny forward.

"Hey! Mabi, why do I hear Zoro's voice?" Franky asked as he drifted on his motorcycle.

“He’s just messing around. He could have just killed them directly. Now he’s killing them and releasing them, then he’ll kill them again. Let’s go see what’s going on. Instead of exploring and rescuing people, a few people are just playing around there,” Mabi replied.

"Alright! Watch my skills!" Franky roared, flooring the accelerator and instantly pushing the motorcycle to over 100 km/h, speeding along the rooftop.

Behind them, a silver-white orb of light in Mabi's hand swept across the air, creating a passageway tens of meters wide that allowed seawater to flood in.

A woman with white wings in the distance watched the rapidly appearing chasm, her pupils contracting slightly as she picked up a Den Den Mushi and dialed a number.

"Brubrubru, brubrubru!"

"Whoosh! Monet, how's the Straw Hat crew? We've lost all contact with the old soldiers." The owner of the Den Den Mushi asked with a cheerful laugh.

"Caesar, forbid provoking the Straw Hat crew! Let them leave the island, we absolutely cannot let them ruin the family's affairs!" Monet watched the Sunny's advancing figure, and the young man in his hand shattering the island and clearing a path with a silver-white light, he was definitely the participant from the war two years ago.

"Whoosh whoo ...

"The legendary Mad Pirates are truly irresistible. They'll be no match for my poison gas. I'm a scientist even more powerful than that old bastard Vegapunk."

After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately.

"That idiot!" Monet's eyelids twitched and his lips twitched. He absolutely could not let the Straw Hat crew enter Iceland at this time. If anything went wrong and they found Caesar's research institute, their reckless behavior and destruction of the family would be absolutely unforgivable.

With a flap of its wings, a flurry of snowflakes drifted by, and then there was no trace of anyone left.

···

"This is my pet, the Fire Dragon King!" Zoro explained with a smile as he watched the crew of the Sunny playfully slapping the fire dragon beside him.

"Come say hello to everyone."

"Roar!" The other party lay on the ground and let out a low roar, its fierce eyes scanning the group's bodies back and forth.

"These reptiles actually treat me like a pet. Once I leave this terrifying man, I'll tear you all apart and devour you, making him feel the pain of existence." Apis's voice appeared beside Mabi, automatically acting as a translator, speaking the voice from the depths of the dragon's soul to warn her.

"Heh heh!" Mabi chuckled, looking at the dragon that was feigning submission.

Apis's words filled the dragon with fear. She glanced at Sauron and, seeing that he made no move, felt relieved. It seemed he didn't mind her eating people.

"Damn it, who is that little girl? How does she know what I'm thinking? Once we leave here, I'll eat her up first."

"Brother Mebius, he wants to eat me!" Abes was startled by the other person's intentions and hid behind Mebius.

"It's alright! It's alright!" Mabi comforted Apis, then turned to the dragon that was feigning submission. Unlike Little Squid, who was coerced and then truly submitted only after being infected and saved by Luffy, Mabi only submitted temporarily because Zoro's power made him fear Zoro. He wouldn't know who the boss was until he beat the whole thing up.

Pick up the Den Den Mushi and tell the old man to answer the phone.

"Old Tong, have Little Green open the door and take in this giant dragon. Let our new partner see our base."

"Yes!"

Click!

A portal with a diameter of 20 meters appeared in the sky.

"Zoro, let it go in and talk to the little squid and the others."

"Hmm? Go in? Then let's go in! Be gentle." Zoro nodded in agreement after only uttering a slight question, letting Mabi herd it into the portal. With his Observation Haki, he naturally knew that the dragon's aura was not pure, and thought that it would be better to deal with it all at once than to slowly transform it.

"Okay!" Mabi grabbed Apis and jumped into the portal, then made Little Green close it again.

"Little Squid! Little Green is here to serve customers!"

With a shout, the octopus-like form of Little Squid and the vine-like form of Little Green both rushed out.

"Roar!"
