S-Rabbit
A tall, youthful girl, around fourteen or fifteen years old, stepped out from the pages and called out to Luke.
Her six-pointed star-shaped pupils flickered as if she had been observing the outside world from within the book. Without hesitation, she teleported forward and threw herself into Luke's arms, clinging to him affectionately.
"It was so lonely inside! I don't want to go back to that book anymore. Please?"
Aside from having lunarian traits and a body towering at five to six meters, she was the perfect, enlarged replica of the young admiral candidate, Gion.
S-Rabbit, a Fallen Angel created by Germa's research team using the genetic lineage of admiral candidate Momousagi.
With a nearly invincible physique, immense strength, and the powerful abilities of the lunarian tribe, she was a true monster.
Even though the original Momousagi possessed a rare Mythical Zoan fruit, her overall performance was considered weak compared to S-Rabbit.
Thus, despite the researchers successfully extracting Mythical Zoan Fruit DNA to create artificial Devil Fruits, Luke chose not to replicate Momousagi's fruit.
Instead, he granted S-Rabbit the Paramecia Warp-Warp Fruit stolen from Ochoku.
S-Rabbit was already a great swordsman upon creation.
With the Warp-Warp Fruit's broken teleportation ability, she became the perfect warrior.
"Haha..."
Robin watched with a teasing smile.
She had witnessed S-Rabbit's combat prowess firsthand.
From the moment she was created and modified, she had already been battle-ready.
After countless real-world battles and intense training under Luke's guidance, her growth was astonishing. She was now an undisputed great swordsman, her strength utterly terrifying.
And with the Warp-Warp Fruit's abilities…
Despite her cute and lively appearance now, she was a monstrous killing machine when serious.
Against weaker enemies, she could slaughter them in an instant.
"Alright, I agree... But put me down first!"
Luke, who was directly picked up by S-Rabbit, answered with a smile.
As the captain of the Netherworld Pirates, he naturally has the highest control authority over these Fallen Angels and Pacifista, and the other party cannot resist any of his orders.
But in the face of the youthful, beautiful, lively, and lovely S-Rabbit.
He still showed great tolerance and did some doting.
"Great, thank you, Luke-sama!"
With the permission of her master, the tall S-Rabbit jumped up happily.
On that still youthful and beautiful face, a happy smile appeared.
Seeing this, Robin, Reiju, Kalifa, and other women beside Luke couldn't help but chuckle.
These Fallen Angels have extremely high growth potential, and they are special cyborgs with amazing learning abilities.
Although they obey orders 100%, they also have complete human emotions.
Had the timing been right, they would have long been released.
... ... ...
In the sea area near Hachinosu Island, a massive azure dragon soared across the sky.
But it was soon discovered by the patrolling bird-like zombies, who reported the news immediately.
"Ohohoho..."
From the sky, Kaido, in his dragon form, narrowed his eyes while looking at the dark figure that suddenly emerged from the sea below.
"Black Prison, you finally couldn't sit still anymore?"
"This time, I can't wait to fight you!"
Before his words even faded, his fierce eyes burned with battle intent.
His massive mouth opened wide.
"Heat Breath!!"
Whoosh!!
A dazzling firelight gathered, distorting the air before it violently blasted toward Luke.
Boom!
Flames shot to the sky.
The ocean boiled and exploded in massive waves.
"I have no interest in fighting a defeated foe like you, Kaido."
Appearing ghost-like in midair, Luke easily evaded the Heat Breath.
Gazing down at the massive dragon, his expression remained indifferent.
Not long ago, he received reports of Kaido causing trouble on Hachinosu Island, so he came personally to intercept him.
Although Shiryu and others are also capable of stopping this monster, the most important thing for them at the moment is to conserve their energy and keep themselves in peak condition to welcome the extremely fierce and even tragic war that will follow.
After all, they had to face the entire Marine Headquarters and the World Government, which had an unfathomable background.
"That's not for you to decide! I've waited two whole years to wash away my shame!"
Kaido's dragon form radiated wild, overwhelming dominance.
His colossal body suddenly surged into motion.
"Do you know what I've endured these past two years, Black Prison?!"
"Tornado Destruction!!"
Who could understand him?
For two years, he had pushed his body to the brink, undergoing relentless, suicidal training.
All for the sole purpose of surpassing Obask Luke, this monster.
Otherwise, the title of the strongest creature on land, sea, and air would have been nothing but a hollow boast.
Whoosh!
As the hurricane raged, terrifying wind blades burst forth.
They shredded the air, relentlessly slashing toward Luke in midair.
Whoosh!
The deafening sound of wind blades cutting through the atmosphere filled the sky.
Luke was instantly sliced into pieces.
But in the blink of an eye, his dismembered body transformed into a swarm of bats, which swiftly reassembled into human form.
He's completely unharmed.
The eerie spectacle sent an inexplicable chill down Kaido's spine.
"Kaido, since you're here..."
Floating in midair, arms crossed, Luke stared directly at Kaido.
"Why don't we sit down and have a proper talk?"
"Not unless you defeat me first!!!"
Kaido let out a loud roar.
The once clear and sunny sky darkened in an instant.
Thunder rumbled, and lightning streaked across thick storm clouds.
Even the very climate was affected.
"Really..."
Luke sighed and shrugged.
But in the next moment, his aura changed drastically.
"Then as you wish!"
His gaze sharpened like a blade.
Then enormous flesh wings unfurled behind him, and his teeth turned into sharp fans.
His hands morphed into razor-like claws.
At the same time, a sinister black mist, swirling with eerie tendrils, enveloped his body.
A dark flame-like ribbon trailed behind him.
An oppressive, otherworldly presence emanated from him, like a demon emerging from hell.
A being of pure terror, commanding both fear and reverence.
