One Piece : Winged Dragons of the Beast Pirates

Erya walked through the streets of the Flower Capital with heavy steps, welcoming the gasps and sidesteps of the residents on either side.

"It's finally time for us to show what we're made of!"

Yamato stood atop Erya's head, eagerly rubbing her fists together. Her excitement was palpable, and she could barely contain her grin. "Ian! Don't hold me back!"

Ian remained silent.

Hyougoro of the Flower was no ordinary opponent.

He was the acknowledged leader of the ronin in the Flower Capital and the head of the yakuza in this country. Ronin from other regions looked up to him as their leader.

This samurai, known as the "chivalrous man," was not only widely respected by the residents of the Flower Capital but also possessed formidable strength.

Luffy's advanced Armament Haki techniques were all taught by him. He was a renowned instructor in Wano Country, holding the Silver Medal.

He had mastered the art of Emission and Internal Destruction, meaning he could break through defenses.

Undoubtedly a dangerous adversary.

As Kaido-sensei said, Haki can override anything.

If he can break Kaido's defenses, then he can break ours.

This was no joke.

"Ian! Don't even think about running!"

While Ian was lost in thought, Yamato sensed something, grabbing his shoulder and speaking with frustration. "Seriously, every time we face something like this, I feel like you can't handle it!"

"Because that guy is really strong."

Ian responded with seriousness, "Yamato, don't underestimate him."

"I don't care about that!" Yamato declared confidently. "All I know is—"

The little girl stated with conviction, "Ian, you are the strongest! We are the strongest! No matter what kind of opponent we face, we can defeat them!"

Seeing Yamato's confident expression, Ian felt as if he were the CPU of the situation.

Nevertheless, with such spirit, perhaps it was fitting for her to be the bearer of Conqueror's Haki.

Ian smiled with relief. Well, we're already here, right?

"It's better to consider how to defeat your opponent."

"Two young lords," the old man Kurochar Semimaru's voice echoed from below, "We've reached the Hyougoro family's estate. I've instructed Fukurokuju to dispatch ninjas to encircle it."

Yamato turned to Ian.

Ian stretched his neck and flexed his limbs.

He reminded, "Be cautious, regardless."

"Haha!"

Yamato cheerfully brandished her mace, "Charge! Two-Tusk! Charge!!"

"Quack!!"

Erya, who was even more impatient than Yamato, was instantly fired up.

Originally a centaur-like figure, his four legs powered him forward, and his massive body surged ahead like a speeding train.

The ground trembled, and the houses lining the street shook!

Thud, thud! Thud, thud!

The giants' footsteps echoed like a relentless drumbeat, composing a grand war anthem!

"Hahahaha!!"

Yamato's flowing hair danced in the wind as she laughed exuberantly, "Ian! Let's make this a big one!!"

Ian merely watched as the buildings drew nearer, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

He couldn't help it.

The Hyougoro family's estate was an expansive garden.

At this moment, the samurai stationed there were still reeling from the sudden appearance of ninjas, and then they spotted the enormous creature charging down the street!

"So, what is that!!"

The ronin guarding the gate screamed, "A monster!! There's a monster!!"

Even the ninjas, who had been surrounding the area, couldn't help but retreat, horrified by the monstrous charge.

"Quack!"

Erya roared with glee, sprinting as he drew his massive mace from his back and raised it high.

"Erya, smash!!"

The mace cut through the air!

It descended in a sweeping arc and crashed onto the ground, carving a deep gouge into the solid stone floor and sending debris flying!

The ronins stationed at the gate were engulfed in darkness, their vision swallowed by an impenetrable void.

Rumble!

The enormous gate and walls of the Hyougoro estate exploded like blooming flowers, shattering into fragments that flew skyward. The second tier of the gate was smashed apart, and the massive form barreled through the building, demolishing any walls in its path.

"Second tier! Smash it all!"

Erya charged forward with glee, swinging his mace with abandon. The surrounding structures crumbled under the assault, reduced to ruins.

"What a monster!" 

Fukurokuju, beyond the shattered walls, watched in awe. 

No wonder Kaido had the confidence to send his daughter and disciples.

"Attack!" 

He gave the order.

Instantly, hundreds of ninjas soared through the air like a flock of sparrows, diving straight into the courtyard.

Following them was Kurozumi Semimaru, moving with a hum.

It's too fast; I can't keep up!

While Erya wreaked havoc indiscriminately, Ian kept a watchful eye on the courtyard below.

A large number of samurai were closing in around the expansive courtyard.

"Who are you?"

"Fanatics! Don't be reckless!"

The samurai soon encountered the attacking ninjas.

A flurry of kunai and shuriken were hurled as the vanguard.

However, these ronin samurai were no slouches. They expertly wielded their katanas to deflect the incoming hidden weapons.

"It's ninjas! It's the Orochi's Oniwabanshu !!"

"Damn it! Kurozumi Orochi has come for us!"

"Boss! Where's Boss Hyougoro? We can't handle this giant!"

The samurai fend off the attacking ninjas while calling out for their leader.

Bang! 

From behind a high wall in the courtyard, a black shadow launched itself, using the wall for leverage. The wall crumbled under the impact, and the figure turned into a human cannonball, speeding directly toward Erya.

"Erya! Incoming!!"

Despite Erya's lack of intellect, he's undeniably a formidable force on the battlefield. In one moment he was destroying the surrounding buildings, and in the next, he raised his mace and swung it at the black shadow like a batter at a baseball.

Bang! 

The mace collided with the shadow's form.

However, the outcome was—

"Huh!!"

Erya exclaimed in confusion as his massive body was sent reeling backward by the powerful force.

The figure that sent Erya flying with a single blow had flame-like blue hair, a muscular, bare upper body, and blue tattoos on both shoulders.

"Demons! Don't get cocky!!"

The man roared.

His right fist was pitch black, surrounded by an invisible but intense aura of Armament haki.

"Boss Hyougoro!!"

The ronins cheered with renewed hope.

"The mighty one has arrived!!"

Amid the cheers, Yamato leaped off Erya's head. "Ian! Get ready!"

Ian, watching her, wore a troubled expression.

Yamato, no matter how strong she seems, shouldn't be able to handle this situation.

Even if—

In mid-air, the petite figure of the girl began to transform, surrounded by swirling white mist, as the temperature around her dropped rapidly.

She transformed into a white wolf with two horns!

"Namuji Hyoga!!"

The icy breath instantly engulfed Hyougoro, who had yet to fall.
