Minutes earlier.
Rayleigh, who was acting as a war correspondent at Roland and the Five Elders' battlefield, received a call from Shakky.
Minutes later.
The legendary right-hand man of the Pirate King, Dark King Rayleigh, arrived at No. 12 Mangrove, graduated from war correspondent duties, and entered the battle.
"Silvers Rayleigh, once the right arm of the Pirate King, that's truly terrifying~"
Admiral Kizaru pouted lecherously, speaking slowly.
His old face looked grim, and his eyes were clouded with gloom.
Rayleigh's sudden appearance would undoubtedly disrupt his plans.
"Dark King Rayleigh? The Pirate King's… Why is the legendary great pirate here?"
Nami, learning the identity of her rescuer from Kizaru, couldn't help but gasp in shock.
At the same time, her mind was in a fog, unable to understand why Rayleigh would help her.
"Hahaha, there's no legend or anything; I'm just an old man passing by, who couldn't bear to see a cute little girl being bullied!"
Rayleigh laughed heartily.
"Regardless, thank you so much for your help!"
Nami placed her small hand on her thigh, thanking him earnestly.
"Don't worry about it. You can go to the bar over there for a drink and rest for a bit!"
Rayleigh said casually.
"Thank you, but now is not the time to rest. My companions are still fighting, and I must go back to help. When everything is over, I will come to thank you again!"
Nami said solemnly.
With that.
Nami elementalized, transforming into an electric flash, and returned to the Five Elders' battlefield.
"What a straightforward girl!"
Rayleigh praised with a tsk-tsk sound.
"Dark King Rayleigh, are you, who have already retired, sure you want to go against us for their sake? The Navy has always known you were on this island!"
Admiral Kizaru narrowed his eyes, his words carrying a hint of threat.
"The young people of the new era fight when they disagree. Although I am an old man now, after watching the young people fight, a long-lost surge of passion has risen within me!"
Rayleigh casually stretched his body.
"Now, let's have some fun!"
The showdown between an Admiral and a Legend began!!!
…
…
Sabaody Archipelago, Sky Battlefield.
Itsu-Ma-Ten~
Itsu-Ma-Ten~
The enormous bird-snake monster continuously roared and bellowed.
Angry flames spewed from its mouth, scorching the sky.
However, they couldn't cause even the slightest damage to the verdant giant dragon.
"Hehehe, run~ run~ The more you run, the more excited I get!"
The giant dragon spoke, following closely behind the bird-snake without haste.
From time to time, he would swing a dragon claw, snatching a handful of dazzling feathers.
Having a rare chance to fight, Thor naturally wanted to have a good time and didn't want it to end too quickly.
Their battlefield covered the entire Sabaody Archipelago, and then they moved to the sea.
Mars, the Gorosei Itsumade, ordered the warships to focus their fire on Thor, launching a fierce assault.
He wanted to use the immense firepower of the warships to obstruct Thor.
However...
Thor merely flapped his dragon wings casually.
The shockwaves generated by his rapid flight over the near-shore surface of the sea capsized the Navy's war-grade warships.
"Ah… ah ah ah…"
The terrified shouts of the Marines rose and fell, one after another, forming a continuous stream.
"W-w-what kind of creature is that?!"
"A dragon! I actually saw a real giant dragon!"
"Such a legendary creature actually exists!"
"To be able to witness a giant dragon preying on a bird-snake in my lifetime…"
"By the way, what is that bird-snake creature being chased by the giant dragon?"
"The World Government people seem to recognize the voice of that bird-snake creature…"
Amidst their shock and terror, the Marines couldn't help but discuss in awe.
"Hey, hey, hey, what exactly is going on? Why has a giant dragon… even a creature from mythology appeared?!"
At the Red Tree Port No. 40 battlefield, Vice Admiral Onigumo couldn't help but exclaim in horror.
"Animal-type Mythical Zoan! Without a doubt, that is a user of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Zoan, and also the culprit who once attacked Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
Vice Admiral Doberman said decisively.
"And that creature with both giant bird and python characteristics is also undoubtedly a Mythical Beast!"
Vice Admiral Fire Mountain said with certainty.
"That bird-snake Mythical Beast… he just seemed to call himself… a Gorosei? That's the highest power in the world…"
Vice Admiral Squirrel's mouth hung open, so shocked by this fact that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Hehehe, don't confuse my big sister with such a lowly creature; my big sister is a true dragon!"
Shukaku laughed triumphantly.
"Fear! Tremble! And… be honored!"
...
...
Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
Headquarters Building, Fleet Admiral's Office.
Clatter!
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's Den Den Mushi receiver dropped from his hand.
Listening to the live reports from the Sabaody battlefield.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, as the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, was completely numb.
Tragic!
This operation could only be described as tragic!
How many warships had they lost so far? How many Marines had been killed or injured?
Fleet Admiral Sengoku no longer wanted to count this number! He was also powerless to count it!
The World Government also suffered heavy losses.
Not only was the God's Knights annihilated.
Now, even the Five Elders, the highest power in the world, were deeply embroiled.
The green giant dragon that once attacked Holy Land Mary Geoise was the space-ability maid of the Air Force.
He had already heard this shocking intelligence from Admiral Kizaru.
Now.
The emerald giant dragon was even chasing the Five Elders, the highest authority, like stray dogs.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku was not surprised that the Five Elders were powerful Animal-type Mythical Zoan users; he knew a little about it.
But…
To be able to force such powerful Five Elders to flee in all directions.
The terror of the green giant dragon was evident.
"Stop, Sengoku! Continuing will only increase meaningless casualties!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Navy's Chief of Staff, said quietly.
"I want to stop too, but… the current situation has already exceeded the scope of my control as Fleet Admiral!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku smiled bitterly.
With the Five Elders, the highest power in the world, personally entering the fray, he, as Fleet Admiral, had little say.
"We can't control the World Government, but at least let the ordinary Marines retreat… The Celestial Dragon's lives matter, and their lives matter too!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru said in a deep voice.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku fell silent.
Of course, he knew this.
If he could, he also didn't want to send his Marines to be cannon fodder, to die.
But…
Just as Fleet Admiral Sengoku was internally conflicted, experiencing a fierce struggle.
"Mr. Sengoku"
Meeting King Brannew shouted again as he arrived.
"Something terrible has happened! A dragon… a dragon has appeared on the Sabaody Archipelago!"
"I already know about this!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku shook his head.
"No… no, it's not the green giant dragon, it's a second dragon… a Azure Dragon, it seems to be the Four Emperors of the New World… Kaido of the Beasts, the strongest creature on land, sea, and air, has landed on the battlefield!"
Meeting King Brannew suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted his report.
"You… what did you say!!!"
