"That's Kaidou..."
"You are lying, right?"
"Is that something that a human can fight?"
"No, that's a monster..."
"Ah... we're all going to die..."
As they saw a monster in the shape of a dragon with a length of more than a kilometer soar on top of their kingdom, even if Kaidou just glanced in their direction without doing anything, all of them felt like all their struggle was meaningless and what would come after this was just the deepest despair where death was their conclusion.
Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu.
Kaidou was a human who had eaten a Mythical Zoan, like Shinra, but unlike Shinra, whose Devil Fruit allowed him to become a vampire, Kaidou's Devil Fruit allowed him to become the Azure Dragon from Chinese Mythology.
Shinra might have also used the Eye of Usurp on the Artificial Devil Fruit of the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, before, and naturally, he could do what Kaidou had done.
No matter what Kaidou could do, Shinra could do that since the Artificial Devil Fruit of the Uo Uo no Mi, Model Seiryu that he had taken before was created by the Lineage Factor of Kaidou that was taken from Kaidou in the past.
In other words, Shinra had Kaidou's DNA potential within him.
'As expected of the strongest creature in the world...'
"You are lying, right?"
"That's Kaidou..."
"Do you think you can defeat him?"
Yet, while Shinra thought about how to improve his Artificial Devil Fruit's ability, which gave him a similar potential to that of Kaidou, it was the first time for Carina and Robin to see one of the Four Emperors, Kaidou, and as expected, they felt at a loss since instead of a human being, they felt that Kaidou was a monster.
Yes, Shinra was powerful, and they had seen him perform a miracle that they had never thought possible, but this time, his opponent was on an entirely different scale.
"I advise you to run away."
Still, Stussy hadn't given up on persuading Shinra to stop fighting. "With your ability, it should be easy for you to leave, right?"
Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire.
While she hadn't seen Shinra use his Devil Fruit's ability previously, she saw him able to hide their presence, making them invisible in a dark-like shroud, which gave her hope that they could run away with ease.
Yes, his Devil Fruit might be the mythical type of Zoan, but even so, among the mythical type, each Devil Fruit had its own disadvantages and advantages.
Kaidou's Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, was clear, which was the ultimate destruction-like ability.
Meanwhile, Shinra's Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire was more like an assassin, which made him well-suited for his job as a Cipher Pol member, or probably the boss of this organization in the future.
Still, Stussy didn't think that Shinra was weak, especially when she could feel his aura that made her submissive and probably even wished to get closer to him, which made her curse the Devil Fruit that she had eaten.
Yes, her Devil Fruit came from the same model, but if Shinra's Devil Fruit was the mythical type that allowed him to become the Lord of the Night, Vampire, her Devil Fruit came from the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Bat, which made her part of creatures that he could control and directly became her superior.
It could be said that the moment Shinra appeared before her, she could only become obedient and, frankly, quite protective.
Yet, while the Devil Fruit might have affected her feelings slightly, when she saw him and understood more or less about his personality, she knew well she wanted a deeper relationship with him, like Robin and Carina.
However, this guy didn't seem to have much interest in her, or Robin and Carina simply stopped him from going to her, especially Robin with her Hana Hana no Mi, making her ability extremely lewd.
"There is no need to be in a hurry."
Still, even if Shinra faced Kaidou, he was calm, as his mind thought about what to do. "If I want to run away, no one in this world can stop me."
With the Batto Batto no Mi, Mode: Vampire, and the Iro Iro no Mi, along with the presence concealment from Observation Haki and Supreme King Haki, if he wanted to hide, no one could find him.
Also, he had the Eye of Beyond, and if the situation forced him, it wouldn't be bad to run away to another world, too.
"Well..."
Yes, Kaidou might be scary, but Shinra's ability to hide his presence was simply godly.
If Shinra wanted to run away, no one could catch him, so they calmed down and quickly moved close to him.
Yet while those who were close to Shinra had calmed down, the others weren't calm at all!
"Is there even a possibility of defeating that monster?"
"It's over..."
"This country is destroyed..."
King Riku Doldo III, Violet, Kyros, and Rebecca were at a loss as they had fallen to their deepest despair. What was scary wasn't fighting the strong, as they knew that they had a hope, but what was scary was when they fought, as they knew that they had no hope at all.
Everything was over, and all of them would die!
"Governor Kaidou! We are willing to follow you!"
Trebol and the others, who followed Doflamingo, quickly came out to greet Kaidou and bowed their heads, ready to worship this strongest creature as their new Lord!
Before all of them might hesitate, yet when they saw Kaidou in his Seiryu form, all of them knew that being stubborn would lead to their death, yet—
"HEAT BREAT!"
Kaidou gathered fire inside his mouth before "breathing" it out into a huge, conical blast toward the castle of the Dressrosa Kingdom, where Trebol and the others bowed!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!
Everyone lost their voices as a dazzling explosion destroyed everything.
The beautiful castle that was located on a hill in the Dressrosa Kingdom was blasted, burnt, and destroyed.
Trebol and the others had no chance to say anything as they were hit by the blast, and no one really knew whether they all lived or died, yet they also didn't care since what they needed to do was to save their own lives!
"Run!"
"We're going to die! We're going to die!"
"Mama!"
Everyone was in despair and knew that they could do nothing to stop this disaster!
Yet, Shinra took his blade and said, "Remove."
His veins bulged as he removed all the limits on his body and transformed himself into a vampire as he held his blade, but even so, he suppressed his aura, compressing it, covering his entire being, especially his blade, which emitted dangerous, dark crimson Haki.
"Stay here. Hide well."
His voice exuded calmness and gentleness, as usual, but they knew that they couldn't change his decision and could only stay back, so they wouldn't become his burden.
Meanwhile, Kaidou roared, destroying everything with the fire blast that he breathed from his mouth!
BOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOM!
Facing this creature, no one thought that they could fight.
Even Kyros, the legendary gladiator of this country, knew that he could only run away, bringing his family, even if he had to force them!
If he faced this monster, he would die!
Yet, Kaidou never thought about the minds of the ants; at this moment, he just wanted to destroy everything, telling the World Government that they had to pay a certain price as they had messed him up!
"IF YOU WANT TO BLAME, THEN BLAME THE WORLD GOVERNMENT IN HELL!"
As he became the King of Pirates and found One Piece, Kaidou would soon settle everything with the World Government, and destroy this world!
"DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
Along with the screams and cries of everyone, Kaidou unleashed a blast of fire, bringing the purgatory to the Dressrosa Kingdom.
Yet, during that time, as the world was covered in the crimson fire of hell, a single darkness emerged in the split of a moment.
"Rex Caligo."
Slash!
"Eh?"
As Kaidou was confused, he saw a sharp crimson, darkish lightning that chopped his neck, and he saw a figure that was similar to that of a devil, ready to behead him!
"—?!"
Splash!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
