THE STRONGEST CREATURE OF THE BEAST PIRATES

Trafalgar Law and Sai were also shocked.

Under everyone's gaze, Onimaru's headless body suddenly moved, gripping the black sword Shusui tightly with both hands. A voice seemed to come from his abdomen:

"Frost Moon Flow Mysteries · Nine Reincarnation · Rising Dragon Seal!"

An indescribably fierce sword energy radiated from Onimaru's headless body.

The stones on the ground were sliced into pieces, and the leaves of surrounding trees were cut apart by the blade's energy.

Countless leaves fluttered downward, dancing alongside the sword energy.

Then, these leaves exploded, turning into countless small slashing waves that swept in all directions, blasting away all the fur warriors around Onimaru and leaving them lying on the ground.

This scene was even more shocking than Sai's awakening of the Conqueror's Haki.

Gulp.

Sai swallowed hard, walking toward Onimaru in disbelief and stammering:

"You—how can you move without your head?"

Trafalgar Law's mouth hung open. He had thought Alastor was a monster, with his abnormal defense. He hadn't expected Shimotsuki Onimaru to be a monster himself, unable to be killed—even without a head.

Even Beast Kaido couldn't achieve this.

He shook his head and said to Onimaru, "I can take your head back."

"No need, it's useless to lose my head."

Then, a terrifying scene unfolded.

Onimaru's neck shifted, and soon, another head grew back.

"Hiiii!"

Sai swore, completely stunned.

"You have this ability too?"

Onimaru responded calmly, "I told you before—I have many lives."

Sai collapsed, completely unable to process the situation, muttering, "I thought you were messing with me. This is way too shameless. I don't accept it!"

Alastor naturally noticed Sai and Onimaru's transformations. Both had awakened powers far beyond what they had possessed before. He couldn't help but laugh, feeling both relieved and pleased.

"It seems this war has yielded unexpected results. Inuarashi, Nekomushi, if you stop calling Kozuki Oden every day, maybe I'll spare your lives."

"Dream on!"

As expected, Inuarashi and Nekomushi refused without hesitation.

"That's really a pity. I guess I'll just have to send you down to see Kozuki Oden!"

Although Tama's dumpling fruit ability could tame animals, the fur tribe's inherent Haki allowed them to resist such abilities. Inuarashi and Nekomushi were highly unlikely to be tamed.

Boom!

Alastor entered his strongest Thor mode, releasing a terrifying current of electricity that summoned a thundercloud in the sky.

The electric charge coursing through his body was now as high as 500 million volts, far surpassing Enel's limit of 200 million volts. It was no exaggeration to call him the true Thor.

"Sky Overlord God!"

Alastor controlled the thundercloud, unleashing countless tracking bolts of lightning that couldn't be dodged.

Although the fur tribe had a natural resistance to electricity, the intensity of Alastor's lightning far surpassed their limits.

Inuarashi and Nekomushi were already gravely injured, with most of their strength depleted. After being bombarded by the powerful lightning dozens of times, they collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"Is this really the end? I'm so unwilling. I haven't avenged Lord Oden…"

Nekomushi coughed up blood, his eyes filled with despair.

Inuarashi fell beside him.

"Miss Toki will be avenged. There's still hope—have you forgotten?"

Hearing Inuarashi's words, Nekomushi's eyes brightened.

"Yes, there's still hope."

"Even if we don't have the power to fulfill Lady Toki's prophecy, Kin'emon and the others do. Momonosuke-sama can definitely succeed!"

Alastor absorbed all the excess thunder back into his body.

He slowly walked up to Inuarashi and Nekomushi.

Drawing his blade, he asked, "Are you referring to Momonosuke and that prophecy from twenty years ago?"

Inuarashi and Nekomushi glared at him in hatred, saying, "Since you know this, you should have made your decision long ago. Fate will punish your group of villains sooner or later!"

"Hmph!"

Alastor sneered disdainfully.

"Sorry, I don't believe in fate."

"Moreover, I assure you—Momonosuke must die. Not even God can save him. I've said it!"

Inuarashi and Nekomushi's eyes widened in shock.

With swift movements, two streams of blood sprayed as they simultaneously swung their weapons. Their heads—one belonging to the cat, the other to the dog—rolled to the ground, their eyes still open and filled with disbelief.

"Unfortunately, you won't witness that scene anymore."

Alastor calmly sheathed the spotless Sandai Kitetsu.

After Inuarashi and Nekomushi died, the remaining fur warriors resisted in vain for a while before being subdued by Tama's dumpling fruit.

However, this taming was temporary, with a time limit requiring new dumplings to maintain control—a somewhat cumbersome process.

Alastor increasingly felt the necessity of becoming a scientist. In the world of One Piece, the combat power created through science couldn't be ignored.

He instructed Onimaru and Sai to return to the ship with the captured fur warriors while he and Trafalgar Law made their way to the neck of the giant elephant.

"Do you really want to kill it? It's the oldest living fossil, surviving from ancient times. The secrets of the D family are likely connected to it," Trafalgar Law said, his voice filled with concern.

Trafalgar Law's full name is actually Trafalgar D. Water Law, indicating he, too, belongs to the D family.

Although his primary goal was avenging Doflamingo, he also sought the secrets of the D family, believing that they would one day stir the world once again.

"So what?" Alastor said indifferently. "The so-called D holds no value to me. As for their fate—heh, it's boring."

Trafalgar Law was silent for a moment. Pursuing something that might be fated seemed pointless and overly idealistic. Better to rely on one's own strength.

"I see."

Though Trafalgar Law had not aligned with Alastor for long, he knew the man's style was unlike anyone else he had encountered, impossible to comprehend with ordinary reasoning.

The Elephant Lord was so massive that even Kaido's dragon form seemed tiny in comparison.

With the meat from the Elephant Lord, Alastor had no need to worry about food in the future.

It took them the entire night to process the Elephant Lord's meat, leaving Trafalgar Law exhausted and on the verge of collapse.

However, his physical strength had increased, and his Haki had also improved.

Alastor didn't stop there and instructed several ships to head to Greenbit, near Dressrosa.

Trafalgar Law leaned against the railing, his mind restless.

He could now seek vengeance for Corazon sooner than he had originally planned—at least two years earlier. This made any compromises, like following others for five years, worthwhile.

At that same moment, in the kingdom of the Tontatta under Greenbit, a group of diminutive hominins gathered around two exceptionally beautiful women who towered over them.

"Viola Landro, Rebecca Landro, are you really going to help us rescue Princess Mansherry?"

The little people asked eagerly.

Viola covered her mouth and smiled. "Of course. I know where Princess Mansherry is being held."

"Wow, that's great!"

The little people danced with joy, not doubting Viola's sincerity for a moment.

"Stop! Stop!"

Suddenly, a small figure wearing a green hat spoke loudly and stared at Viola.

"You—you're from the Don Quixote family. I've seen you!"

The other little people gasped in shock.

"What? From the Don Quixote family? Have we been deceived? Are they bad people?"

"It doesn't seem like it, but something feels off."

"I also feel she's a good person."

Leo, the green-hatted little figure, hesitated, his expression uncertain.

"You should be right, but let her answer. Is she not from the Don Quixote family?"

Viola nearly laughed at their innocence.

"I'm not."

All the little people, including Leo, immediately relaxed, showing expressions of relief.

"Sure enough, she's a good person!"

Viola's sweet smile deepened as she observed their unquestioning trust.

Rebecca added, "My aunt infiltrated the Don Quixote family as a last resort. We are the true royal family of the King Riku family, and we've long had ties with you, the Tontatta Kingdom."

"The Riku royal family?"

Leo's eyes widened.

"So it's the Riku family. That's great! We'll return and take control of Dressrosa, driving out that villain, Doflamingo!"

The patriarch of the Tontatta trembled as he stepped forward.

"How kind the Riku family used to be to us. Alas, we were harmed by the Don Quixote family."

"We're here to overthrow that evil Don Quixote family!" Rebecca declared firmly.

"Then let us join you!"

The little people cheered and shouted in unison.

The patriarch stroked his gray beard, his expression doubtful.

"Don't act too impulsively, everyone. We can't defeat them on our own."

The little people, now disheartened again, hung their heads in despair.

Viola's eyes gleamed with a strange brilliance.

"We can't defeat them, but that man can. Doflamingo's end is coming soon!"

In Dressrosa, at Palace Heights, Doflamingo sat brooding, his face pale, gulping down red wine.

Since returning from the war on the top, he had been restless, unable to escape the image of the tall, thunderous figure.
