"Roar—"
Soon, the massive dragon Lillian had mentioned came into view.
Everyone's jaws dropped in shod disbelief.
Before them was a gigantic azure dragon, its size parable to El's Mythical Zoan: Quetzalcoatl form at full power.
Following closely was a monstrous bird with the body of a serpent, shrouded in strange bck fme-like clouds. Unlike El’s Quetzalcoatl form, however, this creature had a bird-like head with an elongated, razor-toothed beak and sharp talons. Its ferocious presence sent chills down their spines.
Behind it, a majestic thunderbird radiated dazzling lightning, carrying several fearsome figures exuding immense killing i. Trailing slightly behind was a smaller vulture, also bearing two ominous passengers.
At the lead were Fleet Admiral Hammons William and Admiral Steelbone Kong, their overwhelming presenmistakable. Lastly, a winged Pegasus soared steadily, carrying another batant.
"That fruit is iing…"
Standing by the coast, El gripped his halberd, a pyful glint in his eyes.
It wasn’t hard to guess that the azure dragon was likely a member of the Holy Knights. He hadn’t expected the Wovero have been holding onto such a top-tier Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, let alone deploying it just for him.
Making up his mind, he pet the azure dragon first, aiming to ralize it and recim the Azure Dragon Devil Fruit.
"They’re here?"
Behiood an array of powerful figures:
Charlotte Linlin (Vampire)
Cyril Oka (The Beast)
Irma Irene (Lady Demon)
Alongside them were numerous elites like Tsuru, Moss, Jien, Sally, Lillian, and Francis Bangi, with the Seven Deadly Sins among the most eye-catg.
Finally, there were the Giant Fruit Ability Users, t warriors like:
Helen, Witt, Lonz, Hajrudin, Saul, Lacroix, San Juan Wolf, and others, each brimming with battle fervor and fully prepared for bat.
"Mama-mama-mama~!"
“That’s a whole lot of heavy hitters arriving at once," Linlin chuckled, her toh amused and mog.
"As expected of the Wover, their scale of deployment is nothing short of overwhelming!"
Her fidence remained unshaken, her calm demeanor backed by their meticulous preparation.
Ryan, after all, had crafted a rge supply of Rumble Balls using his Munch-Munch Fruit ability—potent enough to amplify their powers signifitly.
"They’ve ruled the seas for turies; their foundations run deep," Cyril Oka said, hefting his war hammer with a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Mua-hahaha~!"
"If those old fossils from the Holy Land decide to show up as well, that would make my day," Irma Irene cackled as she brandished her crimson scythe, lig her lips with bloodlust.
"If we didn’t have a few surprises of our own, this would indeed be quite the dangerous situation," Sally admitted with a tinge of tension in her voice.
"Mama-mama-mama…" Linlin turo El with a gleaming smile.
"Should we send them a little ‘wele gift’? Perhaps let them know we’re ready to ‘eain’ uests?"
"Naturally."
El’s grin widened mischievously. He g Lily and Irma Irene, asking:
"You two up for it?"
"Mua-hahaha! Of course!" Irma Irene bared her teeth iement.
"Hehe, Fusion!"
The t giantess Lily, noticeably taller than Linlin and almost as tall as El, stepped forward with a pyful grin. Toug Irma Irene, she activated her Pile-Pile Fruit ability.
"Whoosh—"
In an instant, the two figures merged into one colossal, teer-tall entity. The fused form wielded an enormous crimson scythe, with facial features blending Irma Irene’s and Lily’s characteristics.
"Hehe, going to use that move, huh?" Hajrudin ented expetly, though with a hint ret.
"I’m still a bit away from mastering it myself."
Immediately—
Both the newly fused Lily-Irene and Linlin alongside Cyril Oka strode forward, ons in hand.
"The’s begin!!"
Standing shoulder to shoulder, the four t figures, eaearly as massive as El himself, lined up in unison.
In the blink of aheir forms shifted visibly. Each transformed into a fearsome hybrid beast-man form, radiating immense power. Fixing their eyes on the figures approag from the sea, they raised their ons, a menag aura enveloping them.
"Focus solely on the Azure Dragon!"
El gripped his gleaming halberd, his sharp eyes locked on the massive azure dragon in the sky. His voice carried a lethal i:
"Leave the rest; our priority is to take that one down!"
"Uood!"
"Got it!"
"No problem!"
Far off on the sea—
"What!?"
"Is that…?!"
The advang group froze as their pupils tracted. Faces paled, their hair stood on end, and fear overtook them.
In a fsh, they unched terattacks in desperation.
"Elbaf Spear—"
Without hesitation, El, Linlin, Cyril Oka, and Lily-Irene, exuding immense pressure, harmoheir energy. Their battle auras synized, merging into a single, unified force.
In perfeison, they swung their barrage of ons, each ed in a dense yer of Haki.
"Hakoku Snty!!!"
A terrifying shockwave erupted, crushing the atmosphere.
"Buzz—Buzz—"
Four inprehensibly powerful shockwaves bined into a singur, moal force. Like an unstoppable tidal wave, the attack surged forward, obliterating everything in its path.
"Heat Breath!!!"
In the skies above the sea, the Azure Dragon roared furiously, its massive jaws opening wide. Blinding fmes swirled and gathered, dist the air before shooting forth in a fiery torrent.
"Screech—"
The monstrous bird let out an ear-pierg shriek, its razor-toothed beak emitting an intense heatwave bst that surged forward with uing ferocity.
"Lightning Barrage!!!"
The Thunderbird fpped its massive wings, crag with electricity, before unleashing a dazzling beam of lightning that pierced the air with terrifying speed.
The figures on its back joined in, wielding enormous sshes or activating their Devil Fruit powers in an effort to stop the ining attack.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Meanwhile, the majestic Pegasus galloped forward at incredible speed.
Fleet Admiral Hammons William and Admiral Steelbone Kong, leaping from the back of a vulture, darted through the air like bolts of lightning. Their veins bulged as they unched devastating punches, each imbued with overwhelming energy.
"Pegasus Meteor Shower!!!"
"Justice Impact!!!"
"King Kong Chariot!!!"
"BOOM!!!"
