Chapter 607: The Violent Aesthetics of Technology!!!
"Wait... what is that!"
At that moment, someone on the battlefield suddenly squinted, and soon everyone noticed a terrifying creature appearing in the distant sky.
What's going on!?
As voices of alarm spread, the majority on the battlefield couldn't help but look up. In their sight, they saw an enormous monster quickly approaching...
"That's... a dragon!"
Everyone finally saw it clearly—an enormous black dragon, much larger than the dragon Kaido transformed into after eating the Mythical Zoan Fish-Fish Fruit. This dragon was dozens of times bigger.
Seeing the dragon, Dragon's face noticeably changed. He had known that the Celestial Dragons had many secret weapons, but he hadn't expected this trump card to be so far beyond his imagination.
In the distance, Doflamingo, who had been secretly observing the battle, became visibly tense when the dragon appeared. He stared at the sky, muttering, "How... how is this possible!? Just how far have the allied forces pushed the World Government and the Celestial Dragons?"
There were countless people watching the war on the Red Line from afar, hoping to glimpse the future of the world. However, they all observed from safe distances, knowing that getting too close would result in their destruction.
Within moments, the massive dragon had already reached the Red Line. Everyone could now see it clearly—its black scales were made entirely of hardened steel. Its teeth, horns, claws, and every part of it was made of steel alloys.
Roar!
From the ocean below, two roars echoed as two giant Sea Kings, each over a kilometer long, glared at the dragon, roaring continuously. The force of their sound waves caused ripples in the air.
The two giant Sea Kings thrashed the sea, stirring up huge waves, their roars filled with fury. The steel dragon, seemingly provoked, shifted its attention to the Sea Kings below.
Without making a sound, the dragon's massive body descended toward the two Sea Kings.
As the dragon moved, the Sea Kings became increasingly agitated, and the water around them churned violently.
Finally, the steel dragon hovered above them, coiling in the sky.
Then, suddenly, the dragon opened its mouth toward the sea below.
In its alloy-constructed mouth, vast amounts of free-floating particles in the air started converging into its maw.
As the energy built up inside the dragon's mouth, an intense feeling of dread washed over everyone who saw it. It felt like the dragon was preparing an attack capable of destroying the world.
Then, a ball of light shot out from the dragon's mouth.
As the light orb was released, it rapidly descended toward the sea. Before it even reached the surface, the orb exploded mid-air!
In an instant, a blinding flash lit up the sky and sea!
Even those secretly watching through visual Den Den Mushi felt their eyes nearly burned out by the light!
Even Doflamingo was caught off guard. When the blinding flash erupted, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes, tears streaming uncontrollably!
"My eyes! I'm blind!"
"What was that!"
"My eyes! I can't see!"
Many members of the Donquixote Family on Doflamingo's ship covered their eyes, panicked and shouting.
But Doflamingo couldn't afford to care about his crew. As soon as his vision returned, he looked toward the sea.
What he saw left him speechless.
The light ball that the dragon released had caused an earth-shattering explosion, and a massive fireball, nearly ten thousand meters in diameter, had appeared on the sea's surface.
It looked like a falling sun. The immense heat vaporized the seawater instantly, and a powerful shockwave sent towering waves radiating outward. At the center of the explosion, the two Sea Kings had been utterly annihilated—there wasn't even ash left.
At the same time, in Doflamingo's eyes, a colossal mushroom cloud was rising from the ocean…
One attack! Just one attack had caused such catastrophic damage!
"What the... What the hell!"
Queen, who had noticed the distant explosion, jumped to his feet in shock!
At the same time, he glanced at Vegapunk nearby. If others didn't recognize what that thing was, he certainly did. Vegapunk had shown him and Judge this very weapon far away from Wano.
That intense flash, the massive mushroom cloud rising from the sea, and the devastating shockwave—it all made perfect sense to Queen!
Judge was equally stunned, his face pale. He understood clearly that if that war machine fired a few shots on the Red Line, there would be nothing left but death. Even if one survived the initial explosion, the radiation that followed would kill any living being.
"Wow, so they mastered this kind of weapon?"
Vegapunk, observing the distant fireball, stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"I'm out of here! How can we even fight this!?"
As Judge and Queen prepared to flee, they suddenly heard Vegapunk say something strange:
"Weapon transformation, Gundam mode!"
Before they could react, a gigantic robot painted blue and white roared through the sky.
From the machine's back, two enormous plasma jet streams flared out, each a kilometer long, forming glowing wings. The robot was bristling with powerful weapons, displaying the sheer brutality of advanced technology.
"Minovsky propulsion system in action—V2 Gundam can reach 20G acceleration, achieving 80% of light speed. Its weaponry includes the MEGA beam rifle, V.S.B.R, and MEGA beam cannon. It's equipped with the I FIELD generator and a massive beam shield, making it nearly invincible."
"..."
"...???"
"...!"
Listening to Vegapunk's explanation, Judge and Queen stood dumbfounded, eyes wide in disbelief.
Doflamingo, still watching from afar, was just as stunned. He stared at the massive robot, nearly pushing his sunglasses off in shock.
What's going on!?
Are we suddenly going from the age of sailing ships to intergalactic warfare?
