Chapter 71: Dragon Kingdom's Monsters and Magic: A Battle to the Death!

Boom! A ferocious monster with the body of a hunting dog and a snake neck climbed up the thick dirt wall.

Soon it reached the top of the dirt wall and jumped down suddenly, pouncing on Kizaru! it smelled the breath of human beings!!

"Where did that monster come from? It looks scary!"

Kizaru didn't realize how dangerous the snake dog was.

He raised his hand and fired a beam of light, which easily penetrated the snake dog's body and exploded on the wall behind it, creating a huge hole.

Even a casual hit from a Marine Admiral has great destructive power.

The snake dog fell to the ground, but Kizaru could hear more roars coming.

He looked at the hole in the wall and frowned slightly, looking distressed.

"Oops, I guess I went overboard."

As soon as Kizaru finished speaking, the snake dog that had just fallen was surrounded by a faint scarlet mist.

A moment later, it stood up again, looking healthy and mad, and pounced on Kizaru again.

"That thing should have pierced your body completely and burned out all your organs. How are you still alive?!"

Kizaru was suspicious, thinking the snake dog was still alive.

Hesitantly, he jumped up and kneaded his fingers into an "OK" shape.

Whoosh whoosh! The sky was filled with high-temperature burning light clusters that poured down and hit the snake dog.

The snake dog was riddled with thousands of holes in an instant and collapsed to the ground again.

Kizaru took a closer look and found that the scarlet aura was permeating again, and the monster's injuries were recovering rapidly.

"No way!" Kizaru's face darkened instantly.

'This thing completely violates the logic of the human body and marine biology! Even monsters like Whitebeard will die if they are seriously injured. This thing was just beaten to the ground and badly injured, but it's not dead! It roars, bleeds, and has an internal body structure, so it's clear that it's been hurt. Is it someone with a strange ability? I've never heard of anything like it!'

Kizaru quickly regained his composure after being startled.

Groups of these monsters are coming quickly through the gap he opened.

There are many different kinds of monsters.

Some look like millipedes.

Some have moth wings and mammoth bodies.

Others look like toads and salamanders.

Still others have swollen necks that turn red and accumulate energy.

They are all ferocious, crazy, and weird!

Kizaru has seen many Sea Kings and killed many people, but he has never seen anything like this.

The monsters come in dense groups and give him a chill down his spine.

One of the monsters with a swollen neck suddenly spews out energy cannons.

Kizaru is not afraid, but he is on board a ship, so he has to be careful.

He draws his lightsaber and destroys the energy cannons with a few blows.

Then he kicks out a beam of light that kills and injures many monsters.

After the explosion, the monsters' shattered bodies fill the air with scarlet mist.

The monsters start to wriggle again, as if they are about to come back to life.

Kizaru is horrified!

'What kind of monsters has the Dragon Kingdom raised?'

The scene is captured by the sky.

[Loan usury king: What the heck is that?! How can't it be killed?!]

[Law: I've never seen such a weird living thing in medicine!]

[Kaido: They got beat up so badly but they can still come back to life?! They must not even be made of flesh and blood!]

Kaido knows that these monsters aren't that powerful for top powerhouses like them, but their immortality is incredible!

Even Kaido, the world's strongest creature, would die if someone beat him to a pulp.

Of course, his defense is so high that very few people in the world could even do that!

[Gao Yang: Like I said before, our Dragon Kingdom is full of wild beasts!]

[Ochoku: Damn it! You call these horrifying, immortal monsters that can shoot cannon beasts?!]

[Silver Ax: Your beasts are unkillable]

[Golden Lion: The things I made aren't half as scary as these!]

[Capone Bege: Thank goodness I didn't just go to the Dragon Kingdom out of curiosity, or I might not have made it out alive!]

[Big Mom: Angel potions are made from these monsters? Immortality and fast recovery... they do have some similarities!]

[Nusjuro: I've never seen anything like them!]

The Five Elders are surprised.

If these monsters can be mass-produced, they would be an extremely powerful weapon!

Countless people are shocked.

The Dragon Kingdom is crazy to have these monsters hidden in their kingdom!

Aren't they afraid of them running wild?

A scream comes from the dense forest shrouded in scarlet mist.

The sky cannot see clearly because of the mist, but bright, weird flowers with animal-like mouths suddenly appear in the forest and start chewing on pirates!

Many people try to cut off the flowers, but they are surprisingly strong and quickly split into more.

A giant flexible grass also protrudes from the forest and strangles a group of people, sucking them dry of nutrients.

"No way! What the heck is this place?!"

"Mom!"

"I don't want to come to the Dragon Kingdom anymore! I want to go back!"

"Is this hell?!"

[Sengoku: What the heck is that?!]

[Gao Yang: There are beasts in the forest, and of course there are plants and flowers too!]

[Loan usury king: Holy crap! Your plants and flowers can eat people, split, and kill people?! Don't take this kind of horror for granted!]

[Ochoku: Does the forest of the Dragon Kingdom lead to hell?]

[Silver Ax: I lost my breath for a second!]

[Golden Lion: If there are so many of them, we're probably screwed even if we can fight them off.]

[Gao Yang: I told you guys the Dragon Kingdom is dangerous!]

[Kaido: Hmph! Nothing is indestructible if you're strong enough!]

Kizaru is a powerful admiral in the Marines.

He can shoot many attacks in a row and vaporize monsters.

But some monsters are so powerful that they can survive his attacks.

More monsters are coming from all directions.

It is impossible to kill them all.

"Step back!"

Kizaru was worried about his men, not himself.

The monsters were unkillable and there were too many of them.

If they boarded the warship, even the high-ranking Marines could be killed.

Kizaru saw the monsters on the shore, but they didn't leave the island.

[Pirate A: Gao Yang, you evil bastard! You created a bunch of monsters!]

[Pirate B: Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I surrender!]

[Cp0: Gao Yang, are you planning to attack us? Don't you leave yourself any room to back out?]

[Gao Yang: That's funny. Don't just waltz into other people's houses in the future. Enjoy your new ecosystem! Oh, and by the way, some of those polar-eating beasts get even scarier at night!]

In the royal palace, Gao Yang stood on a high balcony.

"Ulquiorra, tell the guards not to harvest the enemy too quickly. Let them feel fear, so that others will be afraid to attack us. Don't let our soldiers risk their lives for efficiency. Every life is precious. Open the protective cover and trap the enemy inside, and then slowly consume them."

"We need to keep a close eye on the top powerhouses. None of them are to be underestimated."

"Yes." Ulquiorra disappeared instantly.

"Enjoy the appetizers of this feast!"

In the forest, Doflamingo used his invisible strings to cut many monsters into pieces.

But the monsters soon fell from the sky to the ground and recovered.

There were monsters everywhere.

Doflamingo couldn't kill them all.

"Holy shit! There are so many of these things, and they're unstoppable! Peggy, watch out with that cannon!"

"We're trapped!"

With the help of Doflamingo, Peggy Wan, and his brother, they were able to barely withstand the attacks from all directions.

But even the Zoan ability's resilience and physical strength were not enough to stop the monsters from consuming them.

People around them were dying, and not everyone had their strength.

As time went on, the situation became more and more unfavorable.

From the high wall in the distance, there were occasional beams of incredibly powerful light.

These beams of light were so terrifying that even Doflamingo was not sure if he could survive them unharmed.

"If we can't win, we'll have to retreat!"

"But Kaido-sama ordered us to stay here!" the Ulti siblings protested.

"We've lost track of him!"

"Then find him! You can't let Kaido-sama down!"

Doflamingo's eyes became filled with murderous intent.

Doflamingo still had the ability to awaken, which he could use in case of an emergency.

After all, no one knew what else might be lurking in the forest.

He also remembered that there were many seastones in the kingdom, and that they were processed precisely.

He was afraid that if he awakened, he would be too obvious and would be targeted.

Suddenly, Grimmjow appeared from above and attacked.

"Those guys are good prey too. Just wait, I'm going to take down the big ones first!"

Grimmjow laughed wildly as he enjoyed the hunt.

He passed by Doflamingo and the others and fired a Cero, which exploded around them, killing many people.

Doflamingo and the others were also thrown back by the explosion.

'Damn it!! To be targeted by this monster made me angry! How dare it treat me as prey?'

"These stupid weapons are useless against us! We're not waiting three hours anymore. Let's go straight to the castle and take down Gao Yang! Signal Kizaru to lead the fleet in a direct attack!" the Cp0 said angrily.

"Agreed!"

The World Government sent thousands of combatants to attack, but they were killed or injured by the waves of monsters.

The Cp0 and the others have powerful power, so they were able to advance despite the constant attacks.

However, the monsters were annoying and too numerous.

The scarlet mist released caused many of the World Government's subordinates to hallucinate and kill each other.

The entire forest near the coastline was a scene of death and bloodshed.

The intruders never expected that they would be met with such a fierce counterattack from the Dragon Kingdom.

They had troops outside, so how dare the Dragon Kingdom be so crazy?

"Hey guys! I've found you!"

Grimmjow found the Cp0!

Gao Yang-sama doesn't like him very much.

"These ordinary polar devouring beasts are no match for you powerhouses. Let me have some fun with you instead!" Grimmjow laughed.

"Hmph, do you think we're as weak as Blackbeard?"

The Cp0 hates arrogant people! He doesn't understand how to be humble and respectful.

'How dare he be so rude to the Figarland family?! He must be killed and tortured!'

"That's awesome! Hold your horses, let's go all out!"

Then he continued to recite the words of returning to the blade that he had started reading earlier.

"Kill him! Leopard King!!"

A massive wave of Reiatsu erupted, leveling the forest and killing countless enemies.

Everyone except Cross Saint and Jikel was crushed into the ground by the terrifying Reiatsu.

One unlucky soul who got too close had their body instantly explode into a mist of blood.

"What the heck is that?!"

The Cp0 was shocked.

He had never felt such power before.

It was like it was on steroids!

'What a joke! I'm not weaker than a Marine Admiral!'

[Rocks: Damn! Someone transformed! And they're devil fruit users. That wasn't just a burst of power, it created actual pressure! It leveled the whole area!]

[Red Hair: That's some serious force! I guess I didn't go all out against Blackbeard.]

The powerful people near the Dragon Kingdom could feel the horror of this blast even more directly.

[Morgans: Who the hell is that guy?! He's as scary as Whitebeard! His hair is longer and his body is different too.]

Not all the others can match Whitebeard.

He's the scariest!

[Ochoku: This guy is tougher than I thought!]

"We're going to save the captain and the others. They've sent a signal!"

Many of the people who were still at sea got the signal.

"War is still unavoidable."

Kizaru got the signal too. Soon, many ships were headed for the Dragon Kingdom.

"Stop!" Issho shouted, holding a knife.

"Charge!" countless people shouted together.

"Let's go together and destroy the Dragon Kingdom!"

Thousands of ships sailed towards the Dragon Kingdom with overwhelming momentum.

"Since it has come to this, this old man has no choice but to fight with all his might!" Issho said with a smile.

He drew his sword and a gravitational purple halo shot straight into the sky.
