As the massive dragon shot down from the sky, the dust-covered Golden Lion, still fuming after being sent flying by Ares, soared upward once more with rage burning on his face.
He roared up at the dragon,
"Hey, hey!!!"
"Monster!! Watch as I, Golden Lion, slice you into thin pieces and roast you over an open fire!!"
Furious, his arms and twin swords ignited with black-purple flas, surging like burning fire.
It was the manifestation of Armant Haki refined to an overwhelming level!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
"Slash Wave Thousand Cuts Valley!!!"
What does a Great Swordsman's strike an at this level?
A typical Great Swordsman can cleave apart mountains. But soone like the Golden Lion his slash could cut through the sea itself!
Two dazzling golden slashes tore across the sky, one behind the other, slicing straight toward Ares.
In that darkened world, the brilliance of the slashes illuminated the sky, casting a golden veil across everything.
Confidence glead in the Golden Lion's eyes, and his lips curled into a slight smirk.
Such terrifying strikes there were few in this world who could withstand them.
"Monster, just wait to be torn apart by my slashes!!"
Countless people stared into the sky, their hearts pounding.
This was a battle that could shake the heavens and the earth it left everyone watching in breathless awe.
But at this mont, deep within Ares' mind, a fierce internal struggle was unfolding.
The vast world of his consciousness was in chaos countless fragnts of jumbled mories collided wildly.
Even stranger, ever since he ate the Devil Fruit, sothing inside his soul began to shift towards a transformation no ordinary human could comprehend.
The human brain is the most mysterious and complex organ in existence.
Yet even now, Ares' body moved instinctively.
The mont the Golden Lion unleashed his slashes, Ares' heightened senses honed to their extre detected danger.
His body imdiately retaliated!
That enormous dragon tail swept out with a violent gust!
Dozens of ters long, heavy and mighty, that colossal tail carried strength that could shatter the earth.
Ares was already a power-type monster now in his Azure Dragon form, his strength had multiplied several tis over!
As the dragon tail swept through the air, the sheer montum shook the heavens!
Within the swirling currents of violent air, a dazzling azure slash suddenly burst forth.
The blazing blue light shone so intensely it dyed the thunderclouds above a brilliant blue-white.
That single slash left the entire world in stunned silence!
"Impossible?!!"
The Golden Lion's confident expression instantly collapsed, replaced by sheer disbelief.
"How can he unleash such a terrifying slash with just his dragon tail?!!"
His heart trembled violently.
Such a massive tail had delivered a slash on par with that of a Great Swordsman!
Who is this dragon?!!
A terrible thought crept into the Golden Lion's mind Ares.
But the mont that thought surfaced, his heartbeat pounded furiously in his chest.
If this colossal dragon really was Ares…
That would be unthinkable.
Unimaginable.
In the sky, an epic clash unfolded one destined to be seared into the mories of all who witnessed it.
BOOM!!!
It was like the Big Bang the explosion echoed through the heavens, rattling everyone's eardrums and plunging their minds into blank silence!
Many clasped their hands over their ears in pain, their bodies trembling under the unbearable sound.
In the sky, the magnificent collision of slashes blood like the aurora, a light so blinding that countless people instinctively shut their eyes or squinted against its radiance.
It was so bright it could not be looked at directly.
Even Whitebeard's face twisted in shock, his heart brimming with genuine admiration.
"Such violent, savage slashes and from a dragon's tail, no less… simply unbelievable!!"
To unleash such a ferocious slash with that colossal body that's far more difficult than wielding a blade.
His eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit, and he muttered excitedly,
"When did such a powerful monster appear in this world?!"
The overwhelming aura surged around Whitebeard like a razor-sharp sword piercing the sky.
His battle spirit surged.
The blood in his body began to boil, heating up with excitent.
If stealing treasure was to protect his holand from war…
If his dream was to find a family…
If his happiest monts were banquets and sake…
Then the thing that truly set his soul ablaze was battle against the strong!
Even Rocks' face turned grave.
Such a monster now had the power to threaten him.
"And its target is Linlin… Linlin must know who this is!"
"Just how did Linlin provoke such a monster?"
Soone with this level of strength couldn't possibly be unknown.
And yet there had been no word across the seas of a monster with a Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon form.
Everything about this was far too strange… far too sudden!
It must be unraveled imdiately.
Rocks swiftly commanded John,
"You and Wang Zhi, gather everyone on the island and keep them safe!"
"Newgate, co with to find Linlin!"
He urgently needed to uncover the truth behind all of this.
Rocks, along with the Golden Lion, quickly rushed toward Charlotte Linlin's location.
In the sky, Ares temporarily blocked by the Golden Lion locked his glowing crimson eyes onto Shiki with a feral, beast-like intensity.
He was like a savage beast ready to tear its prey to shreds.
His every move now was driven purely by instinct as if he had lost all reason.
And indeed, that was the truth.
So say that Devil Fruits house the souls of ancient demons or perhaps so unknown will of the fruit itself.
There's a tale that circulates across the seas: when one eats two Devil Fruits, their body is instantly torn apart utterly obliterated.
Yet the legend of a "demon" dwelling within Devil Fruit users has persisted throughout the Grand Line.
Now because of the Devil Fruit two souls inside Ares' body began to fuse and react.
For years, the impact of this soul had subtly influenced Ares' mind, occasionally flooding his head with strange visions.
When Garp punched him in the skull last ti, the blow partially reconnected so of his fragnted mories.
And this ti, even more mories resurfaced overwhelming him with a wave of ntal shock!
His head throbbed with unbearable pain!
New images poured into his mind of a boy wearing a straw hat, slender and young, setting sail on a grand adventure.
mories that seed to stretch all the way to Enies Lobby.
Yet, even more mories ca from another world entirely a place called Blue Star.
Ares' mind was now a chaotic jumble a tangled ss of these fragnted mories and his own.
And at this very mont
The blinding sword lights in the sky, locked in a fierce standoff, suddenly exploded.
A terrifying shockwave spread in all directions, visible to the naked eye, like a circular tidal wave of power.
The dark, oppressive thunderclouds above were instantly shattered by the impact.
The heavens cleared in an instant.
Under the sunlight, Ares' shimring blue dragon scales reflected golden light, amplifying his overwhelming aura and divine presence.
At this mont
The Golden Lion flew in close, staring at the ferocious, terrifying dragon before him with suspicion written all over his face.
Finally, he asked the question gnawing at his heart.
"Are you… Ares?"
