Chapter 59: Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon Form
"You're mine, Ares! You belong to me! Let's have children together!!!"
Charlotte Linlin's mouth stretched so wide her tongue was nearly hanging past her chin.
She pressed her hand against the wall, and in an instant, the solid wall began to soften and liquefy, its gray surface melting into a sticky, flowing purple substance.
Paramecia-Type: Soul-Soul Fruit Ability!
The purple ocean surged violently toward Ares, engulfing the shattered stones, broken furniture, and everything else that had been destroyed in the room.
Everything was being consumed and assimilated like it was being devoured whole.
So this is a Devil Fruit's power!
Ares wasn't unfamiliar with Devil Fruits. Both Shiki and Newgate were Devil Fruit users. But he had never seen Linlin's power before.
Suddenly, a thought struck him.
I just ate a Devil Fruit too. The power I can feel inside me that must be the power of the Devil Fruit.
Ares focused, summoning the strength of the fruit within his body.
In an instant, his form began to change, his expression twisting in pain as he clutched his smooth bald head and let out an agonized, soul-wrenching scream:
"AAAAHHHHH!!!!"
His roar of unbearable agony echoed to the heavens.
It felt like someone was splitting his skull open with a hammer an excruciating pain that not even gritting his teeth until they cracked could relieve.
His entire body was transforming.
His mouth suddenly elongated forward, turning into a vicious crocodile-like snout lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth.
Black whiskers fluttered wildly in the air.
Two forked dragon horns sprouted from his head. Unlike Kaido's race, Ares did not develop bull-like horns on his dragon form's head.
But before the transformation was complete
Linlin's purple liquid, created by her Soul-Soul Fruit, surged over and completely engulfed Ares!
The sight of Ares' partial transformation left Streusen utterly stunned. His eyes bulged as he stammered in disbelief:
"That's… that's the Azure Dragon Form!!!"
His heart trembled with a mix of terror and fury.
Terror because that powerful Devil Fruit had been eaten by Ares. Ares, already a monster, would now become even more terrifying!
The thought alone made Streusen's scalp tingle in fear.
But his rage his rage came from the fact that this Devil Fruit, which should have belonged to Charlotte Linlin, his precious personal treasure, had been devoured by an outsider.
Linlin's twisted grin grew wider as she approached the purple liquid covering Ares. The crimson glow in her eyes burned even brighter.
"Babies…"
"Let's have babies… Ares, come have babies with Linlin…"
The deafening noise of Linlin's destruction, paired with Ares' agonizing screams, quickly drew the attention of everyone in the Rocks Pirates within Skull Castle.
Countless people rushed out of their rooms, searching for the source of the commotion.
At the scene
Just as Linlin was only a few steps away from the purple liquid
A massive dragon's head suddenly burst through the viscous substance, soaring upward into the sky.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The enormous dragon smashed through layer after layer of hardened ceilings, terrifying Silver Axe so badly that he shuddered mid-act, losing all his vigor.
Cold sweat drenched his back.
The gigantic Azure Dragon soared into the sky.
ROOOOOAAARRRR!!!
The sky, once clear and sunny, was instantly swallowed by rapidly expanding thunderclouds, plunging the entire Hive Island into darkness.
Blue arcs of lightning slithered like serpents across the sky, crackling ominously.
CRACK!!
A bolt of lightning split the sky and struck the ground with a deafening explosion, blowing apart an entire building.
But what truly seized the hearts of everyone present
Was the sight of the colossal, winding form of the blue-and-yellow dragon weaving through the thunderclouds.
Its underbelly glowed yellow, its back shimmered in ocean blue, and its tightly-packed diamond-shaped dragon scales gleamed like steel armor beneath the flickering white-blue lightning.
Amidst the swirling storm clouds, flickers of orange-red flames ignited, painting the sky with an ominous glow.
It was as if two blazing eyes of a god of destruction were staring down upon the earth from the heavens.
The scene was suffocatingly terrifying.
The Mythical Zoan-Type: Fish-Fish Fruit, Azure Dragon Form!
Hive Island was plunged into unprecedented chaos and panic.
"W-What kind of monster is that?!! What's in the sky?!!"
"What is that thing?! It's huge! Will it destroy Hive Island?!"
"Too terrifying… this pressure… I feel like my heart's about to burst out of my chest!!!"
"Monster!!! Monster!!! Why is there such a terrifying monster on Hive Island?!!"
"Hey!! It looks like a giant dragon! Let me be the one to slay it! I'll be known as the Dragon-Slaying Swordsman after this!!"
"...…"
The entire island was in uproar. Countless pirates craned their necks to the sky, gazing at the colossal creature hundreds of meters long, their faces twisted in fear and awe.
Even just the exposed sections of the dragon's body made people's scalps tingle.
The senior officers of the Rocks Pirates quickly gathered outside Skull Castle, their expressions grave as they looked to the sky.
Meanwhile, Kaido, who was sweating profusely from training, frowned at the commotion outside.
"What's going on? Did the Marines launch a full-scale assault on Hive Island?"
Unlikely. Uncertain of the situation, Kaido pushed open the door and stepped outside, the darkness overhead prompting him to look up.
With just a glance, his expression contorted in shock, his face instantly turning vicious as he roared and smashed the doorframe and part of the wall with a punch.
"WHY?!!"
Gritting his teeth, he snarled:
"Linlin!!! Damn it!!!"
"YOU SLUT!!! YOU FILTHY WOMAN!!!"
"You gave the Devil Fruit to someone else behind my back! You filthy, shameless woman!!!!"
"AAAAHHHHHH!!!"
Kaido's face twisted in fury, his heart crumbling under the weight of betrayal.
The Devil Fruit that was supposed to belong to him was now someone else's.
His face darkened as he stomped away, heading straight to Linlin to demand an explanation.
On the other side
The senior officers of the Rocks Pirates quickly gathered.
Wang Zhi's face tensed as he swallowed hard, his heart trembling.
"That… that's a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, isn't it?!!"
"So terrifying… such overwhelming power… who the hell is this Azure Dragon?!"
The sheer visual impact of the dragon's form shook every officer present. Even Wang Zhi, standing tall in his gleaming golden armor, felt minuscule in comparison.
In front of such a colossal being, even giants who normally dwarfed others seemed no larger than rabbits.
Newgate gripped his bisento tightly, his eyes flashing with a hint of excitement as he spoke:
"This monster… it would be exhilarating to fight it."
Shiki, biting down on his cigar, grinned excitedly:
"Newgate, I'm taking this one. How about you let me have it?"
Among swordsmen, there was a legendary tale about the time the famed Sword God Ryuma slew a dragon. It had become a story passed down for centuries.
Dragon-Slaying Swordsman Ryuma had become a goal that every swordsman aspired to surpass.
His name was still sung across the seas.
At that moment
Silver Axe, now fully dressed, came running over. His face twitched as he stared at the mighty Azure Dragon in the sky.
"Shiki, that monster dragon is probably something only you few can handle now."
He was still seething with frustration his most pleasurable moment had been ruined by this damned dragon. Not only was he interrupted, but he also completely lost his edge.
He was boiling with resentment.
Suddenly!
Wang Zhi cried out in shock:
"That dragon It's breathing fire!!!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the heavens, the entire sky was bathed in a blazing orange glow as a torrent of flames rained down from above!
