One Piece : Winged Dragons of the Beast Pirates

His fist struck the air in front of him with tremendous force. 

The air shattered like glass, cracks spreading rapidly in all directions. The invisible shockwave surged forth, pushing the ocean water backward in an instant. 

The wet seabed was forcibly exposed, even flipping over completely due to the unseen force, creating a deep trench right before the island. 

Whitebeard had artificially created a retreating tide! 

The receding water pulled more ocean in its wake, quickly forming wave after wave that surged toward the fleet of the Beasts Pirates, roaring with intensity.

"That's quite an exaggeration."

Ian couldn't help but gasp.

The power to destroy the world truly lives up to its reputation.

Who would dare to battle Whitebeard at sea? One casual punch could create towering waves, sending your ship crashing into the ocean.

Ian looked up.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Kaido laughed heartily, seemingly unfazed by the monstrous waves below, as he accelerated toward the island.

So this means we can do whatever we want?

A smirk tugged at Ian's lips.

"Let me freeze the tsunami!"

Yamato was eager to try.

Maybe hold back a little.

In the future, Yamato would definitely possess such power.

But for now, she wasn't able to do that.

"I'll clear the way; you all get ready for an assault!"

Amidst a golden glow, Ian suddenly soared into the air, the massive Winged Dragon spreading its wings as it ascended.

"Oh?"

Whitebeard squinted at the distant flash of gold shooting up into the sky. "Is that the ability that leaves Marco helpless?"

"Haha! Newgate! Come, let's fight!!"

The azure dragon had already taken to the skies.

"Then let's do this!"

Whitebeard drew his naginata effortlessly, gazing up at the sky. "I'll leave the rest to you, sons!"

The outcome of his battle with Kaido would determine the victory of this war.

"Leave the rest to us! Pops!" 

Vista had already drawn his twin swords from his waist. "We'll make sure they can't even land!"

"Kurala la la la!" 

Whitebeard laughed heartily. "Then let the battle begin!"

Ian flapped his wings, soaring into the air, with monstrous waves surging toward the fleet below.

"Sun's God Blaze Cannon!"

His fiery breath transformed into a beam, sweeping through the massive waves below, causing intense explosions that merged into a fiery mountain on the ocean's surface.

The explosions shattered wave after wave, clearing the way for the fleet's advance.

Of course, the swirling currents would also hinder the fleet's progress.

But that was fine; once Whitebeard's shockwave dissipated completely, the returning sea would accelerate their forward movement, albeit a bit roughly.

Ian flapped his wings and swiftly approached the island.

He could now see clearly—the dark mass of people on the island's coast.

The Whitebeard Pirates' main crew, along with the eighteen affiliated pirate crews, totaled over twenty thousand people.

At the forefront stood the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, each one a true powerhouse.

This battle was no simple matter.

Now, let's greet them first.

With a mechanical grip of his right claw, a massive spear of flames coalesced in Ian's hand, and he hurled it forward with all his might.

The fiery spear pierced through the air, traversing the sky like a shooting star, headed straight for the Whitebeard Pirates.

Just as the missile-like spear was about to fall among the crowd, a mountain—an enormous hundred-meter peak—suddenly shot up like a cannonball!

The mountain collided with the flame spear, instantly detonating it in mid-air, erupting into a spectacular firework display while debris rained down from the sky.

"Are you throwing mountains at us?"

Ian couldn't help but laugh out loud. "That's quite exaggerated!"

What an imaginative way to fight!

Among the various Devil Fruit users with bizarre abilities, witnessing such a simple and unadorned method of combat was quite moving.

The man who had thrown the mountain was now looking up at Ian, his face filled with killing intent. "You brat! Get down here! I'm going to crush you!"

"Oh?" 

Ian narrowed his eyes.

Diamond Jozu, what incredible power! But has he set his sights on me?

Doesn't he know the pirate tradition? The first position fights the first position, the third position fights the third position. His opponent should be Queen.

Not far behind Jozu, Vista shouted loudly, "That brat is coming! Everyone scatter! Don't repeat the mistakes of Hive Island!"

This brat's destructive power is still too strong.

"Muahahaha! Come on! Newgate!!"

High in the sky, the Azure Dragon shrank in size, and suddenly, Kaido in human form plummeted from the sky. He had already drawn his spiked club, trailing long black lightning as he fell.

Whitebeard raised his naginata, its blade instantly turning pitch black, and dark lightning began to spread from it.

In the next moment, the iron rod and naginata collided!

No, they didn't actually clash!

The two weapons exchanged blows from a distance! Two invisible forces clashed fiercely, forming a small, pitch-black point in between that resembled a black hole. 

A massive amount of Conqueror's Haki lightning radiated uncontrollably, carving deep grooves into the surrounding ground like lasers.

A violent wind swept over everything on the island in an instant, and many pirates along the coast were directly blown away, causing Ian to squint his eyes.

On the other side of the island, the ship of the Whitebeard Pirates was nearly torn from its anchor by the wind, being blown away completely.

An even more astonishing change occurred in the sky.

A massive rift tore through the clouds covering the sky, and the clouds began to rapidly dissipate along its edges.

Ian whistled.

Loud laughter echoed as the battle began, splitting the sky.

"You can hear their laughter from here."

"Heh heh heh! Whitebeard! Come and entertain me!"

"Kuhahahaha! You little brat! You're the real challenger!"

At this moment, Whitebeard, the strongest man in this world, clashed with Kaido, who is destined to be known as the strongest creature in the future.

Will Kaido emerge victorious?
