One Piece: I, a scum of the navy, became an admiral Chapter 193

New World, Unknown Island.

The surrounding air seemed to be ignited, becoming distorted and scorching hot.

Allen held “Ryūjin Jakka” tightly in both hands, raising it high, releasing his full power without reservation.

Allen’s body slowly floated up, and the scorching flames, like several fire snakes, coiled around him.

“—Blazing Hell!!”

As Allen softly uttered, a voice filled with oppressive power echoed across the entire island.

“Blazing Hell” was the ultimate technique of “Ryūjin Jakka’s” Shikai. Due to its long wind-up time, if it were a one-on-one fight, the opponent wouldn’t foolishly stand there watching him charge up such a powerful move.

This was only possible because Mihawk was holding Kaido back, giving Allen the opportunity to charge.

In an instant, dozens of towering pillars of fire suddenly shot out from various parts of the island. The fire pillars were extremely thick, as if they were about to pierce the sky.

At this moment, on the island.

With a “boom,” an earth-shattering roar erupted.

Light shone, blinding people, and powerful energy fluctuations annihilated everything in the surroundings, triggering a massive tsunami. Waves surged in all directions, and the entire island began to shake and crack under the impact of this energy.

After clashing once, Kaido and Mihawk both flew backward.

Their legs slid across the ground for a while before they managed to stabilize themselves.

“Hoo~ hoo~”

Mihawk panted heavily, his hands gripping “Yoru” trembling slightly.

He slowly raised his head and looked forward, his sharp eyes filled with apprehension and solemnity.

Although Kaido had several large and small scars left by Mihawk, the earliest scars had already begun to heal.

One couldn’t help but marvel at Kaido’s astonishing recovery ability. Mihawk’s slashes, which could easily cut through mountains, couldn’t even break through Kaido’s defense.

Of course, both Mihawk and Kaido were monsters among monsters, but with a difference of over a decade in age, even Mihawk couldn’t help but look solemn.

Looking at the wounds on his body that had stopped bleeding, Kaido’s expression grew even more excited.

“Wururururu~ It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this kind of injury!”

“Hawkeye kid, come on!! Keep entertaining me like this!!”

“Kaido… he’s really as strong as a monster!!” Mihawk let out a long breath, adjusting his breathing.

Then, he subtly glanced sideways at Allen’s direction, muttering:

“Allen, you’re a bit slow…”

Kaido seized the opportunity, gathering all his strength into his kanabō, leaping high, and then smashing down towards Mihawk with immense force.

Just then.

Dozens of fire pillars suddenly shot out, as if connecting the earth and the sky, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.

“What… what is this?!” Kaido, in mid-air, was visibly stunned and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Mihawk, looking at the astonishing scene, also felt a shock in his heart.

“He really prepared an earth-shattering killing move…”

It was during Kaido’s moment of愣神 that a “whoosh” sound of breaking air came from in front of Mihawk.

A figure in a Marine uniform instantly appeared, and the famous sword, wrapped in astonishing flames, suddenly swung forward.

Seeing this, a subtle arc appeared on Mihawk’s stern face.

“You’re finally here. If you were a second later, I might have been stuck here.”

The person who arrived was Allen, who had finished charging. The corners of his mouth turned up as he half-jokingly said:

“You’re fine, aren’t you? No missing arms or legs.”

With a “boom,” a loud sound erupted.

Allen strained to block Kaido’s fierce attack, and Allen’s body rapidly retreated backward…

The pillars of fire, like a giant fiery cage, enveloped everyone, containing terrifying energy that made the surrounding space feel as if it would melt.

“Marine brat, did you cause this commotion?!” Kaido’s face couldn’t help but show a hint of solemnity.

Kaido looked at the towering pillars of fire that had surrounded the entire island. He could clearly feel the violent and destructive aura contained within them.

Seeing Kaido’s wonderfully changing expression, Allen couldn’t help but smirk and say mockingly:

“Of course, Kaido, this is a grand gift I specially prepared for you. Enjoy it!”

Kaido’s expression became more solemn, and then he burst into laughter.

“Wururururu~ I am ‘King of the Beasts’ Kaido, do you think these little flames of yours can hurt me?!”

Allen’s figure flashed, appearing beside Mihawk as if teleporting.

“Since that’s the case, then let our Mr. Kaido experience the ‘grand meal’ I’ve prepared for you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Allen grabbed Mihawk’s shoulder and fully utilized “Skywalk,” flashing several times to reach the outer perimeter of the island.

Only then did Mihawk get a full view of Allen’s technique. It had completely surrounded the entire island, making it impenetrable.

Hiss!!

Mihawk gasped, suppressing the shock in his heart. After much hesitation, he slowly asked:

“Are you sure this is swordsmanship and not magic?!”

Listening to Mihawk’s question, Allen gave an embarrassed smile.

“This move is performed with a ‘sword,’ so it should, probably, be considered ‘swordsmanship’…”

“Alright, the performance officially begins now! After all, this is my first time using this move.”

With that, Allen slightly raised his left hand, gently bringing his middle finger and thumb together, then rubbed them with instant force.

A crisp “snap” sound exploded in the air.

“Art is… Patrick Star!!” Allen’s lips curved into a wild, untamed smile.

As Allen snapped his fingers, the pillars of fire seemed to receive a command, converging towards the center at an incredibly fast speed.

As the fire pillars drew closer, the air was rapidly compressed, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Meanwhile, on the island.

Kaido looked at the rapidly approaching pillars of fire, a strong sense of crisis welling up in his heart.

A few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, whether it was due to the extremely high surrounding temperature or some other reason…

Kaido immediately prepared to transform into his Azure Dragon form, but just as he was about to transform, his body froze in place.

A scene flashed through his mind: if he transformed into an Azure Dragon, his massive body would be completely engulfed by the flames.

“Damn it! This actually restricts my ability!!”

Furthermore, due to the immense size of his Azure Dragon form, it would be impossible to cover his entire body with Armament Haki.

The next second!

As the fire pillars converged.

A “boom!!” echoed through the heavens and earth.

All the fire pillars exploded simultaneously, releasing energy like thousands of bombs detonating at once.

The powerful impact caused the entire island to tremble violently, and everything within a radius of hundreds of kilometers was affected by the heatwave.

In an instant, the heatwave generated by the explosion swallowed Kaido’s massive body.
