Chapter 279: Pseudo-Emperor Level
Nut Island.
On the shore.
Bang~ Bang~
Jiang Qize brought Megalosaurus to a vast open area on the island.
Enhancement began.
2.22 billion Beli were deducted.
Boom!!
A violent shockwave erupted from Megalosaurus's body, forcing Jiang Qize back several steps. A pale purple cloud of dust spiraled upward, continuously rotating as it enveloped the dinosaur's enormous form.
The soil on the ground was blown into the air or pressed downward, gradually forming a massive crater.
"Roar! Roar! Roar—"
Soul-shaking roars rang out from within the pale purple tempest, and the aura rising with it grew increasingly powerful.
Waves of force swept outward again and again, covering a radius of several hundred meters, turning everything into a hazy blur.
The overwhelming presence lasted for a full ten minutes.
Only then did the pale purple storm dissipate, revealing Megalosaurus's mountain-like body.
It stood a hundred meters tall. Its deep blue-green skin emitted a metallic sheen. Its head, more than ten meters in size, radiated intimidation and a chilling aura. Rows of one-meter-long, scythe-shaped curved fangs gleamed with white light.
[Name]: Megalosaurus
[Type]: Carnivorous Dinosaur
[Abilities]: Transformation (can assume human form), Soul-Soul Fruit (can seize souls and lifespan, freely manipulate souls), Pseudo-Emperor Physique (impervious to attacks below Admiral level; Admiral-level attacks reduced by 30%; fatal injuries recover within 10 minutes), Advanced Conqueror's Haki, Top-Tier Armament Haki · Ignores Defense, Advanced Observation Haki Peak · Future Sight.
[Strength]: Navy Headquarters Pseudo-Emperor Level!
"Holy…"
Seeing these attributes, his eyes nearly bulged out.
This level of strength was practically invincible.
Even if surrounded and attacked, it probably couldn't be killed, right?
And there was even Top-Tier Armament Haki—there was actually a top tier?
The awakened extended ability was ignoring defense. One punch and you're dead?
[Ding, obtained one-tenth of Megalosaurus's attributes!]
Buzz!
A massive surge of energy poured into his body, making him tremble.
Armament Haki automatically manifested across his skin, while both Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki expanded outward on their own.
A golden aura instantly blanketed the land. Within this domain, everything seemed to halt—dust, wind, falling leaves—all slowed down a hundredfold.
Jiang Qize closed his eyes. A pale purple aura also emerged from his body, intertwining with his Conqueror's Haki. The two extraordinary energies began undergoing a transformation.
Rumble—
Dark clouds gathered overhead, covering a radius of ten miles. The world dimmed, and bolts of lightning churned within the clouds like raging dragons, creating an apocalyptic scene.
…
Dozens of miles away from Totto Land's waters.
The Caesar Pirates' ship came to a stop.
"Never expected the Dragon Flame Pirates to be that strong—to defeat BIG MOM in such a short time!"
A wary glint flashed through Caesar's crimson eyes.
He had fought BIG MOM before; their strengths were about equal.
Yet she hadn't even held out until his reinforcements arrived. Just how powerful were the Dragon Flame Pirates?
If he hadn't had informants within Totto Land, he might have foolishly rushed in and thrown his life away.
Although Totto Land still remained—only one city had been destroyed—and Charlotte Linlin still had some children on other islands who were unharmed, the BIG MOM Pirates were effectively finished.
There was no way he would enter Totto Land now. He could only wait until the Dragon Flame Pirates left.
"Hopefully the Dragon Flame Pirates aren't interested in Totto Land's territory."
Light flickered in his eyes.
Totto Land consisted of more than thirty islands and a population exceeding a hundred million. What an enormous resource pool. If he could seize it, his power would grow rapidly.
Then, once he defeated another opponent of similar strength, he would be able to claim the title of Emperor.
