Chapter 136
Two days after the Blood Star crew left Dressrosa.
The new headquarters of the Marines in the New World.
In the spacious office of Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, three people were seated. The blind old man was quietly resting in the corner, sipping tea, leaning against the back of the sofa. The man was a little younger, grinning cheerfully and smoking a pipe nearby. At the head of a large table, rummaging through papers, sat a large man with a displeased face.
"Grr ..." With a snort, Sakazuki crumpled the report and threw it into the trash can: "A bunch of assholes!
Blowing out smoke, the man with the pipe chuckled:
- Without their captain, they are like flies without wings, if we succeed, then we will grab them.
Sakazuki looked at the sentinel and snorted.
- Tyaton, since you are so brave, you can go. But when you meet Mora, don't complain later.
The admiral only smiled, but did not argue. He already knew that it was foolish to climb into the territory of the Sea Devil. Not only the order of the Commander-in-Chief stopped them, but also the strength of this pirate. He already killed one admiral two years ago. Who knows how strong he is now ...
Sakazuki turned his gaze to the quiet old man and coldly asked:
- Isho, so you escaped with your tail between your legs?
The old man sighed:
- It looks like ...
- Explain yourself.
The admiral put down his mug of tea and sighed again:
"I intervened in a fight that shouldn't have been interfered ... Roronoa Zoro and Vinsmock Sanji were much stronger than I imagined. All I had to do was to retreat, taking all possible criminals with me.
Sakazuki frowned and grumbled.
"So they are already so strong ..." The temperature in the room increased slightly and Sakazuki asked again, "About Doflamingo, is it true?"
Issho just nodded and started drinking her tea again.
- Grrr, filthy pirate ... - the two admirals have already begun to cover themselves with sweat from the heat, but did not even show it.
Sakazuki looked at Fujitora and said menacingly:
"Issho, you were almost killed by two jerks, well, shame ..." shifting his gaze to Tokikake, Sakazuki continued: "And you ... Hmm, good work." I doubt that this dog will die, he is still a fish-man, but he will suffer quite well. Even if he is from the Yonko team, he will know how to attack our convoy!
Exhaling heavily, Sakazuki sat down and said:
"Stop sitting in your pants, both of you will go elsewhere. You can forget about the Sea Devil. Since these bastards are gathered, then it's time to make an announcement.
Issho was surprised and raised his head.
- Do you mean...
- Exactly! - clenching his fist to a crunch, Sakazuki snorted, "I'm not happy about that either, but an order is an order." One day we will finish off this bastard and I deeply give a shit who he is!

Somewhere in the New World.
Today the sea was unusually quiet, the sky was covered with snow-white clouds, and the weather was very pleasant. Returning after another raid, the pirate crew, quite well-known in these parts, drank and had fun.
- Ha ha ha ha! We drink guys! These bastards gave us a bunch of rum!
- Arnos! Bring the meat!
In the midst of the feast, the pirates suddenly felt something. The strongest of the team were the first to rise from their seats and began to look around in fear. Their bodies trembled involuntarily. None of them understood what was happening, because this was their first time. In the New World, they have seen many terrible things and, being fierce thugs, have done just as much. But what they felt now was indescribable. It was like a primal fear, suffocating, terrifying ...
The captain of the ship did not even think about it, but immediately shouted at the top of his lungs:
- RAISE THE SAILS! LET'S LEAVE! LIVE ALIVE!
The pirates did not ask questions, they also sensed that something was amiss. After giving up food and drink, they quickly set to work. Unfortunately, it was too late ...
The keenest of the pirates saw a shadow in the distance, but before he could utter a word, the shadow turned into a huge blur, and a second later, an incredibly huge creature hung over their ship.
All the pirates were silent, many did not even want to turn their heads and look at this something. There were even those who immediately lost consciousness. Pirates that were recently drunk immediately sobered up ... The more daring ones raised their heads to immediately freeze in horror.
Silence. A dead silence reigned on the ship, and only a strange thundering noise was heard from above. It was like the flap of a bird's wings, but hundreds of times louder. It blocked everything, many pirates even forgot how to breathe and stared blankly at the sky, at a huge something ...
A huge, incredible dragon hovered in the sky. The ship on which the pirates sailed could accommodate several hundred people. But before this monster, the ship was no more than an ordinary boat, and the crew members were like small ants.
The dragon was absolutely black, with bright amber eyes, incredible size. They were slightly squinted and looked at the small pirates like two huge stars. Covering the sun completely, these eyes seemed especially bright in this darkness.
The creature had three legs and two terribly long wings, the flapping of which created waves in this calm sea.
Looking at the stunned pirates below, the dragon nodded and grinned.
- Not bad ... - one word uttered by him immediately knocked out almost all the pirates on board, and those who could withstand, fell to the deck and grabbed their heads. This common word thundered as loudly as thunder. The clouds around were immediately swept away for several kilometers and the sky was completely brightened. But not for these pirates ...
Darkness and despair filled their hearts. They didn't even think about fighting or trying to defend themselves. Despair, it was complete despair ...
At their reaction, the dragon only smiled and flapped its wings once again:
- Ra-ha-ha-ha! - thunderous laughter swept for tens of kilometers. The pirates who had not yet fainted could no longer stand it and passed out. The dragon turned and flew in an unknown direction, laughing merrily and circling in the air.

Returning to my ship, I immediately assumed human form and calmly landed on deck. At the startled look of the crew, I smiled and walked to my cabin.
The dragon's powers are truly incredible. Although I could not test all of them, I felt an incomparable power when I transformed. I wanted to test my strength on some pirates, but when I managed to find them ... In general, I felt sorry for them. It turned out that my size is so huge that although people are not ants for me, they are still terribly small. Even my royal will has grown exponentially since my transformation, not to mention all the other aspects. I became the real king of the sky. It was completely different from flying when I used gravity. I really flew and it was indescribable ... I used to treat this power as a simple fruit of protection, but now ... Damn! I am a real dragon! Even Yonko's size is nothing to me, and this overwhelming power is incredible! I can use all the fruits in my dragon form, which means I am a real monster!
After drinking the rum, I took off my cloak and decided to take a nap, yet this power is exhausting. After a day of flying, I was pretty tired, but I didn't really use the dragon powers. I was only able to test the dragon's breathing, and with everything else, there was no way. The pirates at sea were too weak, they needed to find a more serious enemy ...
