The battle on Ghost Island becomes more intense.
Following the progress of the original work, the Straw Hat Pirates and Kidd led more than 2,000 rebels all the way to Kaido's castle.
The Nine Red Scabbards split into two groups and, led by Law, took a submarine and went all the way to the bottom of the cliff behind Onigashima.
If we were to follow the rhythm of the original work, the whole process would definitely be extremely difficult and full of ups and downs.
but..
Now, compared to the hardships and difficulties in the original work, Luffy and his companions are traveling exceptionally smoothly all the way. Whenever someone appears on the road to stop them, they are mostly just some weak pirate minions.
As for why this is the case...
Of course, it was because of the 5 billion Baileys bounty that BIG MOM placed on Vivian.
It has to be said that because of Vivian's arrival, most of the pirates on Onigashima focused their attention on Vivian.
No, it was more like everyone was going crazy than concentrating. Everyone was mesmerized by this staggering number, even after they knew clearly that Vivian was one of the three admirals of the navy today.
For example, now.
"Blood Demon Knife?!"
"General Thunder?"
"The masked man is really General Thunder!"
"Everyone, be careful."
Big Mom's 27th girl, Charlotte Gioconda, rode on a group of tall horses, holding a spear high in her hand, and shouted loudly at the pirates around her.
"roar-!"
Hundreds of pirates roared at the same time when they heard this. They were not frightened by Vivian's identity at all. Instead, they were full of fighting spirit. Some of them even had a $ symbol in their eyes, as if in their eyes, Vivian was no longer a human being, but more like a moving 5 billion money bag.
"kill!
”
Under the Beasts Pirates, Jun, one of the Flying Six, held a meteor hammer and shouted loudly with veins on his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the pirate minions behind him rushed up, waving their weapons, with crazy looks on their faces, and launched their strongest attacks at Vivian.
Vivian, who had already known that his identity was exposed, tore off the veil covering his face, placed his hand on the handle of the Blood Demon Sword at his waist, then took a deep breath and took a sudden step forward.
"Thunder Breathing·Seventh Form·Fire Thunder God!"
The blood-red blade was pulled out from the waist, and the lightning it brought instantly formed a giant dragon, sweeping towards the crowd rushing forward.
Behind him, a group of marines including Fujitora stood far away, watching the pirate army being swallowed up by the Thunder Dragon in an instant. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva subconsciously, and then sighed.
"Is this General Vivian's true strength?"
"The golden thunder dragon has come to the world... He really deserves the title of Thunder General..."
"If we are hit by that thunder dragon, no one will be able to come out alive, right?"
Everyone's eyes widened.
Until the golden thunder dragon gradually dissipated in the piercing roar, and one charred corpse after another came into everyone's sight, the pirates who had been so brave just now stopped and dared not move forward at all.
“Damn it…”
Gioconda cursed inwardly, looking at Vivian, who was standing in the middle of the road like a god of war with a long sword in his hand, and then looked at the less than twenty pirates left on his side. He bit his lip and waved his hand unwillingly, saying, "Retreat!"
The Thunder Dragon Slash just now had obviously awakened her sanity.
Although the opponent is still young, since he was promoted to the position of general by the headquarters, how could his strength be weak
"It seems that unless my mother or Kaido takes action personally, no one can defeat him..." Gioconda said in a low voice.
"No, maybe Yan Zaijin can defeat him."
At the same time, Big Mom's eldest son Charlotte Perospero came out of the jungle, holding a lollipop cane in her hand and said, "When I first saw that guy, I felt a stronger sense of oppression from him than Katakuri."
"All? More powerful than Katakuri-nii?"
"I think that's right." Perospero nodded, "But right now, he should be in the castle preparing to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates."
"What shall we do now?" asked Gioconda.
"Try to avoid conflict with that guy. It seems that we will not be able to enjoy the 5 billion Baileys."
Perospero said, and turned around and walked back to the dense forest, sighing as he walked: "That guy has become much stronger than before. At that time, he could only electrocute people to a crisp, but now he can even electrocute people into a skeleton..."
Such an opponent is really scary...
The scene cuts back to Vivian again.
Perospero and Gioconda were very wise to escape, but Jun under Kaido was not so smart.
Perhaps it's because all the pirates in the Beasts Pirates are users of animal-type Devil Fruit abilities. Compared to ordinary people, these guys not only have slow brains, but are also extremely stubborn.
Seeing Vivian kill more than a hundred pirates with one sword, Run not only did not run away, but veins popped out on his forehead. He continued to rush towards Vivian in rage, as if it was either you or me who would die today.
Vivian sneered upon seeing this. Seeing that Runshi had transformed into an ancient dinosaur during the charge, he stretched out his right fist without dodging and punched Runshi on the top of his head, which was covered with a layer of armed color domineering.
boom!
A violent explosion followed.
The dinosaur skull, which was so strong that it could even smash a huge hole in the thick ground, made a crisp sound and then cracked after being hit by Vivian's punch.
"ah!"
Runshi let out a scream and collapsed backwards with a bang.
At the same time, the task progress in Vivian's mind also popped up at the right time:
Current task completion progress: 194/500
winter!
The body fell heavily to the ground.
Vivian put the Blood Demon back into the scabbard, then raised his head and used his perspective skills to glance at Perospero and others who had disappeared into the depths of the jungle. He couldn't help but say, "This situation is far beyond my expectations."
As he spoke, he put a cigar in his mouth, turned his head and looked at Domino and said, "Why don't you find a place to hide first? I'm afraid I really can't protect you later..."
"Don't say such stupid things."
Hearing this, Domino walked up to Vivian angrily, took the cigar from his mouth, threw it on the ground and stomped on it.
"I don't need your protection! Don't be so contemptuous, Vivian!"
Vivian: “…”
"Sorry, I don't mean to look down on you..."
He thought to himself, I'm really worried about you.
However, at this moment when the two were arguing.
In the distance, in the direction of the castle behind the center of Onigashima, a giant dragon suddenly rose up, blocking the bright moon and shining on the night sky.
Everyone subconsciously looked in that direction, and then revealed expressions of great shock.
"What the hell is that?"
Domino asked with his mouth wide open.
"Kaido... transformed."
