----------
On the battlefield where the sea wind howled, all the watchers fell into shock they had never felt before.
Red-Haired Shanks stood at the front of the Red Force. His right hand gripped Grифton tighter without thinking. His eyes stayed locked on the figure in the center of the battlefield who was handling everything with ease.
"Hey hey... isn't this too much?" Lucky Roux forgot to eat the chicken leg in his hand. His greasy mouth hung wide open.
Benn Beckman took the cigarette out of his mouth for once. His voice was quiet: "Captain, this Ron... has gone beyond what makes sense."
Shanks's red hair moved in the sea wind. He slowly nodded: "Ah... it looks like the new era is coming sooner than we thought." A mixed look flashed in his eyes. "He can fight the Four Emperors without a Devil Fruit. And now he has this kind of power..."
On the Marine side,
"This kind of ability, I have never seen it before." Sengoku's voice was dry and strange. "Could it be a new power he got after being kicked out of the Marines?"
Staff Officer Tsuru's glasses caught the light coldly. She quickly looked through her phone: "Ron has never eaten any Devil Fruit. This kind of ability... has never been seen before."
Garp was strangely quiet. His senbei bag hung in mid-air. His eyes moved back and forth between Ron and Ace on the execution platform. His fists made cracking sounds as they clenched. What was Ron trying to do?
On the Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco was very shocked: "Pops, this situation..."
"Gurarararara..." Whitebeard's loud laugh had a hint of joy in it. "I don't know if it's his secret weapon, but it seems Ron hasn't been wasting his time all these years!" He hit Murakumogiri hard on the deck. "Kaido has hit an iron wall this time!"
Jozu said: "He can fight Kaido equally without a Devil Fruit. And now he has this kind of ability..."
Vista wiped his twin swords and smiled with pain: "How can we fight now?"
And right then, in the center of the battlefield, Kaido had completely lost control.
He wildly used all kinds of moves: Blast Breath, Demolishing Wind, even calling lightning from the sky... but every attack was easily absorbed by Ron, doing no damage at all!
The battle had become one-sided. Every time Kaido attacked, he was just "giving energy" to Ron.
Those purple marks were like a hole with no bottom, hungrily eating up all the Devil Fruit abilities that came at them.
"Give up, Kaido."
Flames of anger burned in Kaido's dragon eyes. He could not accept that his proud ability was completely useless against Ron.
"Impossible! I am Kaido of the Beasts!" He let out a roar that shook the sky. His dragon body twisted wildly in the air. "Blast Breath! Demolishing Wind! Fire Dragon Great Torch!"
A series of world-ending moves came out. Burning dragon breath, sharp wind blade cuts, and violent pillars of fire all blasted toward Ron one after another.
However, every attack was completely absorbed by those strange purple marks. Instead, they made the Devil Fruit power inside Ron even stronger.
"Thanks for the meal." Ron's mouth curved up slightly. He felt the rushing power inside him finally reaching a breaking point.
The purple marks around him suddenly grew bigger. Fine dragon scales appeared on his skin. Fierce dragon horns grew on his head. His body suddenly got bigger under everyone's shocked stares! His body grew taller!
"Hybrid Form - Purple Dragon!"
Under everyone's shocked eyes, Ron finished a partial dragon change. His body wasn't as big as Kaido's, but every inch of his muscle had explosive power. The purple-black dragon scales shone with a metal shine in the sunlight.
Whoosh—
Ron's figure disappeared from the spot right away. His speed was so fast that even Kizaru couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The next moment,
He had already appeared above Kaido's head. His dragon claw fist, wrapped in purple Armament Haki, smashed down hard!
"Dragon Fist - Heavenfall Strike!"
Kaido quickly opened his mouth to bite, but Ron was faster!
Bang!!!
A loud crash echoed throughout Marine Headquarters. Kaido's huge dragon body smashed toward Marine Headquarters like a falling star.
The strong defensive wall broke under the impact, kicking up dust everywhere.
Nearby Marine soldiers ran away quickly. Several old soldiers ran while shouting:
"Vice Admiral Ron is still so strong!" (T/N: For the true strong, his powers are at Admiral level, so he is called Admiral, but by the marines, he is called by rank)
"His strength is even greater than before!"
"Wow, he just sent Four Emperors Kaido flying!"
"Where's my phone? Hurry and take a picture and post it online, it will definitely go viral!"
"Go viral nothing, our phones were taken away."
"Hehe, I still have mine."
"..."
A moment later, violent shaking came from the ruins.
Kaido, covered in blood, pushed aside the rocks and stood up. His dragon scales were broken. A fierce wound split open on his forehead.
He stared hard at the purple figure in the air. A hint of fear appeared in his eyes for the first time.
Ron slowly came down onto the head of the Sea King on the sea surface. His body returned to normal: "What, still want to fight?" His tone was calm, but it carried quiet power. "I can keep you company to the end."
Kaido's dragon face twisted for a moment.
He looked around. Whitebeard's great sword was already ready for action. Red Hair's Gryphon was ready to go. Not to mention the Admirals who were watching like tigers.
If he kept fighting... it would be all bad and no good for him!
Kaido grinned evilly and looked at Sengoku. A cunning light flickered in his eyes: "Sengoku, how's the deal going? I can help you Marines get rid of that old man Whitebeard first!"
When he heard this, Akainu's pupils got smaller. His magma-changed right fist clenched without thinking.
This offer really moved him. If he could use this chance to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates all at once... But soon, he forced himself to push away this thought and turned to look at Sengoku.
The entire Marine camp fell into a strange silence.
The eyes of all Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals focused on Sengoku, waiting for the Fleet Admiral's decision. Staff Officer Tsuru's fingers lightly tapped on the tactical board. Garp rarely put away his senbei bag. His face was serious.
Just as Sengoku's eyebrows were tightly furrowed and he was fighting inside himself,
"Sengoku." Ron's voice suddenly sounded. He stood on the head of the Sea King, then pointed upward. "You better think clearly."
Everyone looked where he pointed. They saw dozens of News Coo had arrived at some point, broadcasting this century's great battle live to all parts of the world!
Sengoku's face turned pale right away. His shaking hand felt around for the phone in his pocket.
On the screen,
The topic #Summit War Live Broadcast# was shown clearly at the top of the trending search list. The number of online viewers had already gone over 100,000+, and this was just the number you could see!
This was just the number of people who could be seen. The number of those who couldn't be seen had long since gone over tens of millions, even over a hundred million!
The comments streamed past like a flood:
"The Marines are actually going to work with Pirates?"
"Trash Marines! Where's justice?"
"Support the Neo Marines!"
"The World Government's behavior is too ugly!"
