Chapter 409: Trial Objective Completed!
Chapter 409: Trial Objective Completed! Black Dragon Evolves!
[Saeko Busujima: Does that mean if you don’t pay the Heavenly Tribute, you can’t be protected by the Marines?]
[Vivi: That’s right. But the tribute is enormous, and many countries can’t afford it. Father said some countries can only pay by exploiting their common people.]
[Bronya: I understand. Some of those exploited people become pirates, either for the Great Treasure or for plunder.]
[Kiana: Those nobles are so hateful!]
[Shinobu Kocho: Well, the world is never without those who covet power and money.]
[Exusiai: So those pirates and nobles deserve to die, then.]
[Ren: Pretty much. Most of them deserve to die, though there are scoundrels in the Marines too, of course.]
[Sylvia: So that’s how it is. Then I’ll go help too.]
Ren paused and looked back. "You’re still here."
Sylvia stuck out her tongue. "Sorry, I didn’t understand the meaning of war, so... but now I understand."
A flash of light, and she took out her Lux, the Ser Veresta. She flew into the air, becoming the revered diva. A beautiful song emanated from her mouth, spreading across the entire battlefield.
[Inorin’s Note: Sylvia’s weapon is an Orga Lux, a special type of Lux (weapon) in The Asterisk War. Her power as the "Song Princess" (Glowgen) allows her to manipulate ’Prana’ by singing, causing various phenomena.]
The situation, which was already one-sided, further improved as Robin, Nojiko, Nami, and the others felt their physical attributes enhance with the song.
Everyone looked up in confusion at the suddenly appearing Sylvia. Not only that, but also at the sudden appearance of four others. The Marines couldn’t figure out their identities. Robin had changed a lot; her hair, her skin, and the halo and wings of a Sin Apostle.
Although they weren’t sure who they were, the four displayed immense power, killing many pirates. Nami, with her lightning, instantly incapacitated many of Big Mom’s children, including the Sweet Commanders. Nojiko, Robin, and Mikasa all used Susanoo to quickly clear out the fodder, then delivered single blows that severely wounded the executives.
"How terrifying~ Where did these people come from..." A yellow light gathered, and Kizaru’s usually lewd face showed a serious expression.
"These guys are an insult to the Marines!" Lava dripped with sizzling sounds, and Akainu, who valued the dignity of the Marines, wished he could take them down personally.
"..." Aokiji remained silent. He knew best who those people were... Robin’s power... How did she get so strong? He didn’t understand. But since they had appeared, did it mean Ren had arrived?
On the other side, the Four Emperors and Dragon felt it was very strange. A woman suddenly appeared, using an ice-type ability, and she was suppressing Black Dragon, who had originally been fighting evenly with the five of them. They were horrified.
"Damn it! Who exactly are you!" Black Dragon’s body was stiff with ice, and his black scales were cracked. He questioned Esdeath with shock and anger.
"Heh, if you want to know, show me your strongest power," Esdeath sneered. His power was at most Lv5, and he was easily overwhelmed, which was truly boring.
"You forced my hand!" Black Dragon roared. His body rapidly expanded. "Roar!!!"
In the blink of an eye, a gigantic, hundred-meter-long black dragon appeared, its wings emitting faint ominous auras. Dark red Dragon Breath gathered in his mouth and erupted.
Esdeath remained unmoved because the target was neither her nor the Four Emperors.
Looking down, the destructive Dragon Breath, intertwined with Conqueror’s Haki, descended to the ground.
"Ahhh!" Countless pirates died tragically within it, including the stunned executives of the Four Emperors’ crews. Even Nami and the others had their kills stolen as the heavily injured executives were annihilated.
"Fleet Admiral Black Dragon!" The Marines, seeing this, began to cheer, their morale soaring.
[Trial Objective Completed: Kill 15 Four Emperors’ pirate crew executives!]
[Trial Reward: Black Dragon Bloodline Enhancement!]
Black Dragon sensed the enhancement. His body grew by another few dozen meters, his scales becoming darker, his aura visibly increasing.
[New Trial Objective Activated: Kill 5 Seraphim!]
[New Trial Objective Activated: Kill 1 Marine Admiral!]
[New Trial Objective Activated: Kill 15 Marine Vice Admirals!]
The increase in power filled him with surprise. He wanted to become the strongest!
The cheering Marines suddenly fell silent because the Dragon Breath’s range suddenly became larger. Before anyone could react, it struck Admiral Akainu.
!!!
Akainu immediately transformed his body into magma. Although he was magma, Black Dragon’s breath was not an ordinary Devil Fruit attack; it was a destructive power that could penetrate Logia elementalization without Haki.
"What exactly do you want to do, you bastard?! Aaaah!" Akainu struggled, but his body was still ravaged, and he let out a painful roar.
