THE STRONGEST CREATURE OF THE BEAST PIRATES

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi endured the severe pain in their chests; several ribs had been broken, yet they struggled to stand.

"Let's use that trick together to kill him!"

The cat and dog looked at each other, uniting their resolve as they spoke in unison.

The Moon-Leo state couldn't last much longer; they had to resolve this quickly.

Inuarashi drew his second sword, while Nekomamushi replaced his two swords with sharp claws.

Domineering and even more powerful haki gathered on both of them.

"Is this the Oden Ryuo style again?" Alastor narrowed his eyes and muttered.

The Nine Red Scabbards, who had sworn vengeance for Kozuki Oden, had secretly trained in Oden's swordsmanship. They believed in Mrs. Toki's prophecy—when the skies fell and nine shadows rose, Momonosuke would lead them to defeat Kaido.

At that time, they intended to wield Oden's sword skills to cut down the blue dragon from the heavens.

But now?

Denjiro, Kyoshiro, and Kawamatsu were dead. It was impossible for the Nine Red Scabbards to reunite.

Could Mrs. Toki's prophecy be wrong?

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi refused to believe it. If there had been a mistake, they believed the root cause could still be eliminated.

Putting aside their doubts, they cooperated fully, rushing toward Alastor with renewed determination.

"Oden Two Sword Style!"

A black-red aura surged around them, creating an oppressive and terrifying presence. The ground beneath their feet shattered with every step.

Facing the combined onslaught of two disaster-level warriors, even Alastor had to take them seriously.

He could use his Thunderbolt speed to evade, but there was no need. Attacks like theirs, though powerful, wouldn't kill him.

What doesn't kill him only makes him stronger.

"Profound Physical Technique: Magic Flame Martial Body!"

Alastor's entire body was engulfed in black flames, with purple lightning crackling in his eyes. He charged forward, faster than Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

With two fingers extended, his haki and magic flames intertwined. Ignoring their attacks, he adopted a reckless injury-for-injury strategy.

"Vajra Finger Gun!"

A powerful strike harder than steel. The attack pierced both warriors, creating gaping blood holes from their chests to their backs.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi grit their teeth, unleashing their full strength on Oden Two Sword Style.

As they staggered past, an X-shaped scar appeared on Alastor's abdomen, resembling Kaido's wounds.

Inuarashi spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to one knee.

"Did you hit him?"

Nekomamushi's condition wasn't much better.

"He took it, but that guy is insane. He doesn't even bother defending."

"He's too confident in his defense. Even Kaido couldn't survive that attack from Oden-sama."

Both warriors managed to push themselves up, turning to face Alastor.

They saw that his wounds had stopped bleeding, far quicker than they had expected.

"You two seem too pleased," Alastor said slowly, his voice flat. "It's true that you've inflicted serious injuries on me, and my strength is somewhat reduced, but I'm far from falling. I've long grown used to these injuries."

Used to serious injuries?

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi stared, dumbfounded.

What a joke!

Could he really be injured like this every day?

Even an animal-type Devil Fruit user couldn't endure that level of constant harm, especially when physical strength would eventually give out.

No one willingly sought serious injuries.

But how did this man in front of them explain it?

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi had no idea what to do. The two had seen a great deal and traveled the seas with Roger, but they had never encountered such a bizarre physique.

"I've just entered this state. Can you still hold on?"

Without giving them any time to think, Alastor launched another attack.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi could only fight on.

Two moon lions, ferocious beasts in human form, clashed furiously under the beautiful moonlit night.

Not far from them, the warriors of the fur tribe had also transformed into moon lions one by one, surrounding Onimaru and Sai.

"Hurry up and deal with these two. Help the two bosses. That Thunder Calamity Alastor is too strange. It seems he can't be killed!"

"Go away, old man!"

Pedro roared, swinging his blade with all his strength.

At the same time, several fur warriors attacked Onimaru from behind.

Facing such a dangerous situation, Onimaru didn't flinch. His previously thin body suddenly became thicker, and his skin was covered in dark green scales—the snake form.

In this form, Onimaru's defense and strength skyrocketed. No matter how many fur warriors tore at his body, his black sword, Shisui, clashed with Pedro's blade, releasing powerful sword intent.

Crack!

With the sound of steel breaking, Pedro's sword was snapped in two.

"Room!"

In a daze, Pedro felt Trafalgar Law teleporting to him, offering him an unusual medicine.

Pedro swallowed it, and immediately, his expression grew sluggish. He dropped his broken sword, barely reacting unless given orders.

"Lord Pedro!"

The surrounding fur warriors called out in concern, rushing toward him.

Onimaru didn't falter, continuing to fight fiercely despite his injuries. Even though the snake form gave him strong defense, the enraged fur clan moon lions were too powerful. Onimaru quickly became injured.

"Hey, don't act so recklessly. If you keep going like this, you'll die. You don't have Alastor's physique," Trafalgar Law reminded urgently.

Onimaru didn't seem to hear him.

He didn't appear to notice his serious injuries at all.

Even the fur warriors were terrified by his madness.

Even Sai, who had wanted to fight Onimaru earlier, couldn't help but swallow hard at the sight.

"That kid... Even if he's a Mythical Zoan user like Yamata no Orochi, he can't be this reckless."

Sai couldn't help but recall their earlier battle, when Onimaru had fought with this same reckless abandon.

Despite having the upper hand, Sai had been forced into retreat.

"Be careful, you're surrounded!"

Sai suddenly shouted.

Dozens of fur clan moon lions were charging at Onimaru from all directions.

"Don't worry about me!"

A cold voice came from beside him. Dozens of fur clan moon lions also descended on Sai.

At this critical moment, Trafalgar Law wanted to use his ability to teleport Onimaru and Sai, but he only had time to save one. His brow furrowed with anxiety.

"Do not bother me," Onimaru said, his tone calm despite the life-threatening situation.

Trafalgar Law didn't understand why Onimaru showed such disregard for his own life, but he had no time to hesitate and teleported Sai instead.

Sai, however, shouted, "Don't worry about me!"

Trafalgar Law's mouth twitched. "At a time like this, worrying about pointless victories, you're acting like a child throwing a tantrum."

Sai's behavior wasn't a coincidence. Trafalgar Law remembered how Sai had inherited his temper and fiery spirit from his grandfather, Chinjao.

"I told you not to worry about me!"

Suddenly, a massive aura erupted from Sai, overwhelming the surrounding fur clan moon lions.

"This is... Haki?" Trafalgar Law was stunned.

Sai, inheriting Chinjao's Conqueror's Haki, had unlocked a new, powerful ability.

Alastor had urged Sai to explore his latent power, and now it had emerged.

"Hahaha! This power surging from deep within is overwhelming! I feel unstoppable!"

Sai laughed triumphantly, dancing as if nothing could stop him.

Trafalgar Law fsnakeed himself to suppress his shock. Since Sai was safe, he quickly focused on Onimaru.

But time was running out.

Dozens of elite fur warriors surrounded Onimaru, their speed too fast to avoid. Together, they pierced through Onimaru's snake scales and beheaded him.

"No good!"

Trafalgar Law's eyes widened in horror.

Even Sai froze, his wild laughter cut short.

"Hey, kid... you're not going to die like this, are you?"

"Finally eliminated one!"

The fur warriors celebrated.

But then someone gasped, "No, why isn't his neck bleeding?"

"Wait, what's happening? Was he already dead?"

"No wonder he fought so desperately. So he's already dead…"

"Are you stupid? How can a dead person move?"

This strange sight terrified everyone.
