Chapter 32.2 : Incarnation of Destruction!!

"Don't get too carried away!"

Fukurokuju led the charge, his elongated earlobes piercing through the chests of two unsuspecting samurai like bullets. His ninjas unleashed a storm of shuriken and kunai upon the samurai.

Combined with the fearless samurai who surged forward, the forces of the three daimyos were quickly reduced by nearly half.

Despite this, Ian's samurai, who also wielded Armament Haki, coupled with their overwhelming numbers, turned the tide swiftly. Shimotsuki Ushimaru and his companions found themselves at a disadvantage.

Ian watched quietly.

He knew that merely relying on numbers to wipe out the enemy was impractical.

The other samurai were manageable, but the three daimyos' strength was clearly overwhelming.

If not for the need to consider his remaining subordinates, the three of them could have swept through the encirclement effortlessly, especially Shimotsuki Ushimaru, who no one could approach.

It was up to him to handle them.

"Ian! How much longer are we going to stay up here in the sky!"

Yamato urged anxiously.

It was time to act.

"Then let's begin."

Ian began to descend.

Shimotsuki Ushimaru, deeply entrenched in battle, noticed the change.

"That brat is coming down!"

He shouted, "Omusubi, Tempura! We need to capture him! His strength is impressive; let's go together! If we can capture him, there's still a chance!"

"Understood!"

The two daimyos responded without hesitation.

In the next moment, the three charged toward Ian with relentless momentum.

Fukurokuju's expression changed drastically. These three were heading straight for His Majesty!

Just as he was about to intercept them, he heard His Majesty's voice.

"Fukurokuju, protect her."

Ian watched the three approaching figures, exactly as he had anticipated.

After shouting his instructions to Fukurokuju, he quietly added, "Don't do anything reckless; make sure you protect yourself."

"Understood!"

Above him, Yamato had already transformed into her Human-Beast Form, excitedly nodding while gripping a spiked club.

Carefully, Ian grabbed her and then tossed her directly towards Fukurokuju.

"Woohoo!!"

Yamato soared through the air like a cannonball. "Hahaha! Yamato has arrived!"

"Lord Yamato!!"

Fukurokuju immediately halted, sweat beading on his forehead as he shouted urgently, "Everyone, gather! Protect Lord Yamato at all costs!"

Even if everyone here were to perish, they had to ensure the safety of this esteemed figure!

Not only was she the only daughter of Kaido-sama, the heir to the Beasts Pirates, but she was also likely to be the future queen of Wano!

As Yamato landed, she opened her mouth towards a samurai and shouted, "Namuji Hyoga!!"

A blast of icy breath fell upon them, instantly freezing several samurai into ice sculptures.

Unfortunately, a few of Ian's own samurai were also caught in the freeze.

Ian observed the ninjas converging on Yamato from afar and nodded slightly.

With Fukurokuju and the others protecting her, Yamato should be safe.

Now, it was time to deal with these remaining opponents.

Ian looked down.

Below, Shimotsuki Ushimaru, Uzuki Tempura, and the others had broken free from the encirclement and were charging towards him like a gale.

As expected, their only chance to turn the tide was to defeat him, the one separated from the main force.

"You brats!!"

Their anger had transformed into the most powerful force of the three great daimyo.

Though he was just a kid, a kid who had single-handedly killed so many was no ordinary child; they had to strike with full force!

The three of them leaped into the air simultaneously, charging toward Ian, who could clearly see the patterns on their blades. The black blades were about to strike Ian in the next moment.

Flames erupted fiercely from Ian's body, melting the golden dragon into the golden flames and adding a splash of crimson to the fire.

"What!"

The three leaders were completely stunned. They only realized that their blades had swung through empty air. Despite their attacks landing on Ian's head, their blades passed straight through him! Even worse, they found themselves being pulled into Ian's body.

"Ahhh!!"

A terrifyingly high temperature surged from all directions, and even their combined defenses could not fully block it.

The weaker Fugetsu Omusubi and Uzuki Tempura screamed in agony.

It hurt! It hurt so much!

But fortunately, the pain was brief, and they nearly immediately exited Ian's body.

Fugetsu Omusubi and Uzuki Tempura's faces were marred with visible burns.

Even the stronger Shimotsuki Ushimaru felt a lingering fear.

Such terrifying flames! Such an astonishing temperature!

However, Ian was also surprised.

These guys' Armament Haki is really strong.

Not to mention Shimotsuki Ushimaru, the other two are formidable opponents as well. Even the flames of the Immortal Phoenix only managed to burn them.

Breaking through their Armament haki defenses is necessary to truly inflict a serious blow.

There's no more hesitation; if all else fails, there's only one move left.

The strongest move.

The blazing phoenix turned around, its gold-red flames changing again. The golden parts faded away, leaving only the edges of its body with a hint of gold, while the interior was almost entirely red.

By merging the destructive flames with itself, becoming the embodiment of destruction, the Immortal Phoenix truly became the force of annihilation!

What was left to do was simple. Ian spread his wings and charged directly at the three who had not yet landed.
