One Piece: I, a scum of the navy, became an admiral Chapter 191

The bottom of the ship.

Queen, who was tied up, heard a dragon’s roar and then felt a familiar presence.

Immediately, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he burst into rampant laughter.

“Jie, jie, jie~ You damn Marines are dead!”

“Mr. Kaido is here, he’s here to save me, you all are going to die here today!!”

“No! That’s too easy for you, I’m going to take you all back for body experiments!!”

“Especially ‘Hawkeye’ and that Allen guy!!”

Having followed Kaido for so many years, Queen naturally knew how cruel Kaido’s style of doing things was.

But if a pirate wasn’t cruel, then what kind of pirate would they be?!

Most of the Marines guarding Queen had been knocked out by Kaido’s Conqueror’s Haki.

Only a few Marine officers remained, and a hint of fear flashed in their hearts at Queen’s words.

Although they knew their Vice Admiral was strong, their opponent was Kaido, known as the “Strongest Creature”!

But out of their Marine professionalism, they still chose to believe in their superior officer.

“Queen, stop overthinking it. Vice Admiral Allen and the others are already engaging Kaido!”

Queen’s lips curled into a smirk, and he said disdainfully:

“Jie, jie, jie~ You don’t actually think they can beat Mr. Kaido, do you?!”

“That’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard!!”

…

On the deck of the warship.

Mihawk’s figure darted out like a ghost, his “Black Blade: Night” drawing a graceful arc in the air.

Before the blade arrived, the chilling sword energy had already raged forth.

Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be violently torn apart by an invisible giant hand, emitting a sharp, explosive sound.

“Kaido! Take this!!” Mihawk’s sharp eyes were locked onto Kaido.

“What?!” Kaido couldn’t help but exclaim as he saw the black shadow before him.

As he watched the cold glint from the long sword in Mihawk’s hand, Kaido’s Observation Haki seemed to have already predicted this move.

But he couldn’t retract the force from his hand; if he did, he would also face Allen’s slash.

From Allen taking his attack to Mihawk launching his offensive, it was only a matter of a single breath.

“What an inhuman reaction speed!!” Kaido couldn’t help but sigh.

With that, Kaido’s dragon scales opened and closed as if alive.

The next second!

Mihawk’s “ordinary” basic attack, with the blade carrying an unstoppable, fierce momentum, slashed towards Kaido’s chest!

The speed of this slash was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, as if time itself had paused for it.

In an instant, Kaido, relying on his combat instincts, covered his chest with a layer of pitch-black Armament Haki.

Bang!!

A metallic clang echoed across the ship’s bow, and invisible ripples of air spread outwards.

After a few seconds of stalemate.

With a loud “boom,” Kaido’s massive body was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

Kaido’s body was launched in a parabolic arc.

He crashed heavily into the warship’s mast behind him, which instantly cracked and splintered, sending debris flying and kicking up a large cloud of smoke.

As Kaido was repelled, Allen instantly felt his body lighten, the suffocating pressure from before having vanished.

Mihawk also landed beside Allen, his expression grim as he stared into the dust.

“As expected of the ‘Strongest Creature’!”

Mihawk’s seemingly ordinary slash just now had actually been almost his full power!

But…

As the smoke gradually dispersed.

Kaido’s body slowly slid down, leaving a shocking, massive dent in the mast.

Feeling the stinging pain in his chest, Kaido slowly lowered his head. His Armament Haki had long since disappeared, revealing a wound that was continuously oozing blood.

Kaido gritted his teeth, revealing his sharp fangs, and glared fiercely at the two.

“What a powerful swordsman! Even my Armament Haki couldn’t completely block it.”

Although the wound left by Mihawk was not comparable to the “X”-shaped and radial scars on Kaido’s body.

Kaido still looked at the two in front of him with some apprehension. After all, they were still young, and given more time, they might truly leave indelible marks on him.

Then, Kaido picked up his club and slowly stood up. The wound on his body had already stopped bleeding.

“Wururururu~ You two brats, let’s start the second round!!”

A cruel smile appeared on Kaido’s face, and he laughed excitedly.

Allen and Mihawk exchanged glances, then nodded slightly.

Because they were on the warship, both of them were restricted. After all, there was Toki and nearly a thousand Marines on board.

Allen then extended his Observation Haki and discovered an island not far away.

Allen grabbed Mihawk’s shoulder and slowly floated into the air.

“Kaido! If you want to start the second round, let’s change locations!!”

Kaido was already caught up in the fight and completely forgot what he had come out for.

“Good! Then let’s change locations!!”

Kaido didn’t hesitate at all, forcefully pushed off with his feet, leaped into mid-air, and transformed into his Azure Dragon form again.

Seeing Kaido chasing after them, Allen swiftly moved a few times to create distance and flew rapidly towards the island.

At this moment.

The bottom of the ship.

The smile on Queen’s face instantly froze.

Although he was weakened by the Seastone cuffs, he could still cover the warship with his Observation Haki.

He clearly felt his boss’s presence, as well as the presence of Allen and Mihawk, two people he disliked, both leaving the warship one after another.

Queen shrieked in disbelief:

“Hey!! Mr. Kaido, don’t leave! Save me first!!”

“Wuwuwu~ Isn’t Mr. Kaido here to save me?!”

Seeing Queen’s frustrated expression, the Marines nearby couldn’t help but laugh.

“Looks like you’ll have to come back to Marine Headquarters with us!”

They knew that Allen was luring Kaido away to avoid affecting them.

As soon as the Marines regained consciousness, they could steer the warship away, leaving Allen without any worries.

After all, asking them to fight Kaido would be like asking a newborn baby to fight an adult man.

It would be nothing more than suicide.

Not long after.

An island surrounded by the sea on all four sides.

A giant Azure Dragon, carrying an overwhelming presence that blotted out the sky, coiled in mid-air.

The immense dragon’s might poured down, stirring up a strong wind on the island.

“This is the Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon form. It can even freely change the weather…”

Mihawk crossed his arms, slowly looking up, his expression grim as he watched Kaido in the air.

“You two brats ran pretty fast!” The dragon’s roar echoed in the island’s sky.

Instantly, the Azure Dragon fiercely dived down towards Allen and Mihawk.
