"Boom!"
The moment King revealed his brand-new form, the clash between the two sides' Conqueror's Haki stopped. It wasn't about who won or lost, but simply that the form King displayed was incredibly beautiful.
Not only Kaido , but also the Fake Red Hair and the cloaked woman below were shocked. They looked up at King, who now had white flame clouds floating behind his back and whose wings had changed into angelic white feathers.
King was just as surprised. He looked at the changes in his own body with disbelief.
"This… Big Brother… I…" King said, his voice filled with astonishment.
Kaido's eyes were bright as he looked at King's new form. He had an undeniable look of surprise in his gaze, but after a moment of thought, he spoke slowly. "What's wrong, King? You don't know what's going on either?"
King shook his head, then tightly clenched his fists. "I don't know, Big Brother, but I can feel an endless stream of power gushing out from my body".
King then drew the Second Generation Kitetsu from his waist. Conqueror's Haki overflowed from his body, flowing into the sword and causing red and black lightning to wrap around the blade.
This made Kaido's eyes narrow. "This is Haki Infusion! This is Advanced Conqueror's Haki!!!" he exclaimed.
But his surprise was just beginning. As King's gaze intensified, a red flame began to burn on the blade as well.
King closed his eyes to feel the changes in his body. "My abilities aren't affected, and…" he said with a hint of surprise. "It's very strange. Although I absorbed the flames into my body, my defense and recovery haven't decreased. Instead, they've increased".
It was widely known that the Lunarian race possessed a unique ability. As long as the flames on their back were burning, they had a near-immortal recovery power. They could recover as fast as a Weapon Devil Fruit user, even after a self-destruction. However, when a Lunarian put out their flames, their overall abilities would increase, but their recovery and defense would become weaker in exchange.
But the current King, without the flames burning behind him, felt that his recovery and defense hadn't weakened at all. They had actually gotten stronger. This meant that King had entered a perfect, strongest state. He now had a near-immortal defense and recovery, combined with a significant boost to his attack power and speed. The King right now possessed the strength to completely fight an Admiral.
"Interesting, interesting, I never thought we'd get such a big benefit!" Kaido looked at the white flame cloud behind King. "It looks like an Awakened Zoan ability!!!"
"Zoan Awakening!?" Only then did King start to understand. So, his Devil Fruit had Awakened?
"But why did your wings turn white, King? Do you know anything about that as a Lunarian?" Kaido asked.
King was stunned and furrowed his brow in thought. "Sorry, Big Brother, I truly don't know anything about this".
Just then, Eneru's voice spoke up, reaching Kaido and King.
Eneru descended from the sky and landed beside them, looking at King's form with disbelief. "Kaido-Big Brother, I think I know what happened to Brother Jin's wings". He then slowly continued, "I once saw traces of ancient history on the island I destroyed: Birka. I found the legend of the Endless Land there. If I'm not mistaken, Brother Jin's current appearance is very similar to the murals depicting some people from the Endless Land".
"Endless Land!!!"
At this moment, King's eyes also narrowed. He seemed to have thought of something and was about to speak, but Kaido cut him off with a raised hand.
"Worororo, this is getting more and more interesting, King. Let's talk about it slowly when we get back," Kaido roared. "For now, your guests are still waiting for us down there!"
King understood the serious situation and nodded. With a thought, he immediately stopped using that perfect state, changing back to his original black-winged form.
Only then did Kaido look at Eneru. "Are you ready, Big Brother? I haven't been this excited since I destroyed Birka last time!"
Eneru's expression became completely unhinged. "Very good, then Eneru, next, let everyone on this sea see what the true power of a god is!" Kaido commanded.
"Mm! Leave it to me. The target is this Marine base below, right!" Eneru replied.
"That's right!" Kaido confirmed.
At that moment, King finally understood what Kaido-Big Brother was doing. So, his target was the Marine base G1 below? King wondered what Kaido-Big Brother was planning and why he needed Eneru to do it.
As King thought about this, Eneru, having received the order, was already eager.
He swung his Golden Staff, pointing it toward the dark clouds above. A bolt of lightning shot from the staff into the thundercloud. Eneru's face turned cold as he shouted, "Raikiri!!!"
King was confused, not knowing what Eneru was doing. But the next scene left him, who had just awakened his Devil Fruit ability and gained a new form, dumbfounded, with his eyes wide in shock.
"This!!!"
Up in the sky, thick dark clouds were ripped apart by an immense power. Sunlight scattered down from the center of the dark clouds, shining upon a massive, spherical black thundercloud. This thundercloud was filled with countless lightning bolts and gave off an evil, dangerous feeling. It was much larger than the island where the G1 base was located, making the sky incredibly bright.
"Rumble!!!"
The sound of thunder echoed across the entire sea.
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Whether they were Celestial Dragons, CP0 agents, or just ordinary guards, everyone was stunned, their faces twisted in terror. They stared at the gigantic thunderball that had appeared above them, filled with a world-destroying aura.
The Five Elders in Pangaea Castle also lost their composure for the first time. Their expressions changed drastically as they shouted, "What… what kind of power is this?"
"So that's it, was Kaido preparing this move?" one of them asked.
"That's the Logia Devil Fruit (Rumble-Rumble Fruit), damn it! What is CP doing? Why did no one know about such an important piece of intelligence?" another exclaimed.
Below the thundercloud, Eneru, controlling the giant thunderball, spread his arms and announced like a madman, "Receive the judgment of the true god!!!"
"Boom!!!"
The thunderball, which covered the entire sky like a falling meteor, dropped from the heavens. It landed directly on top of the Marine G1 Branch. In the blinding light, everything the thunderball touched was visibly destroyed, turning into dust upon the sea.
Grand Line, Marineford.
At the Marineford War site.
Just as the war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines was at a standstill, a huge tremor suddenly got everyone's attention. Everyone first thought Whitebeard had used his Devil Fruit ability again, but they looked toward the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard, who had just been stabbed by his "filial son," also looked in the direction of the tremor with some surprise.
Seeing this, Sengoku on the execution platform felt an inexplicable and strong sense of dread.
