The Strongest Frostt Loli: Trending One Piece Fanfiction Reincarnation

Kaido's massive body soared through the air. He was sent flying, scraping against the earth, kicking up a cloud of dust before finally coming to a halt. It was an attack he had endured countless times, yet he had been unable to counter it.

"Haa… Haa…!"

"You've grown stronger since we last met. But that's all. Even against Oden, it would have been a close fight."

Kanata, in contrast, was unharmed. She had dodged every one of his attacks – the scorching heat ray from his gaping maw, the slicing wind blades unleashed with a roar – everything.

Dodging attacks was a simple matter for Kanata, a Logia Devil Fruit user, especially considering her superior Observation Haki.

Only Kaido's incredible durability was prolonging the fight.

"You're still standing? You're a tough one."

"I'm not going down that easily…!!"

He transformed from his dragon form to his human form. He held a club in his hand with his knee on the ground.

It was difficult to comprehend how someone with such a small frame could possess the strength to send him flying, but her ability was known – she manipulated the cold. It didn't enhance her physical strength.

Which meant, that was her raw power.

Insane.

(Why… Why do I sense the same thing from her as I did from Oden and Roger…?!)

It wasn't just her Haki.

Oden, Roger, Newgate, Octavia… and Rocks.

The individuals he had challenged, fought against, and acknowledged their strength. He sensed the same thing from Kanata as he did from them.

He didn't think it was simply because she was Octavia's daughter. He had just been disappointed by Oden's supposed son. Blood ties didn't guarantee inheritance of talent.

The expectations and disappointments he felt towards children… Could his own child ever reach this level?

No, he decided.

That child wouldn't be able to reach this realm.

"OOOOOOHHH!!"

He roared.

Kaido had yet to reach that level, that realm that the woman before him had already achieved. Only by defeating her could he see the summit.

Rocks was dead.

Roger was dead.

Newgate had been called the strongest for several years – but how long could that man remain at the top?

He had to kill her.

He had to kill her.

He challenged her, pushing himself to his limits, with every ounce of his strength – and then, what?

Oden's face flashed in his mind.

"Lost in thought? You seem to have plenty of leeway."

A slash ripped through his flesh.

It was deeper than the wound Oden had inflicted. An ordinary human would have died.

But even as he endured the pain, Kaido couldn't stop thinking. He couldn't stop.

He recalled Kozuki Oden.

That man, who had fought with all his might until the very end, even laughing as he was executed.

Every time he remembered Oden, the cross-shaped scar on his stomach throbbed with pain.

"The wound Oden gave me… It hurts… You're strong, but that man was strong as well."

"He was. I disliked him, but I acknowledged his strength."

"If we had continued fighting… the outcome would have been unclear… But we were interrupted."

Higurashi's intervention had created an opening, a momentary lapse in Oden's focus. Kaido, in desperation, had seized that opportunity and struck him down.

But it had been… unsatisfying.

He could have died by that samurai's hand. He would have been content.

But now, he felt differently.

"I lost the chance to truly defeat Oden – I wanted to win against him."

"…."

"If I defeat you… Will that mean I've surpassed Oden?"

"That's for you to decide. The living can interpret the words of the dead however they wish."

"I see – Then I'll do that."

His body began to change.

Not to his human form, nor to his dragon form – but to a hybrid form, combining the agility of a human and the strength of a beast.

"Death is the ultimate completion of a man. But the journey towards it also has value – A true man strives for the summit, even if only once."

Kaido was strong. Even Oden would be content with being defeated by someone like him – To make the world believe that was the greatest tribute Kaido could offer.

Having shed a layer of his former self, he laughed, ignoring the deep wound that ran from his left chest to his stomach.

"I'm not going to say anything pointless like you're Octavia's daughter. Let's fight, Kanata."

"You've changed quite a bit after only a few hours of being beaten."

Oden had fought to reclaim Wano. Kanata didn't know how he had fought, but he had lost.

Was he content with that outcome? She hadn't heard the details of his execution, but judging by Kaido's obsession, it hadn't been a bad death.

If he couldn't reclaim Wano, but died laughing, then it wasn't her place to judge.

"…Did you see Oden's death?"

"Yes – He said 'You can forget about me. My soul will live on.'… Those were his words."

– "Let it be a tale for a drink. Boil me down, I'm Oden!!!"

"His soul will live on. He died a magnificent death."

Kaido genuinely respected Oden. Could a samurai with such unwavering resolve ever appear again…? He wasn't sure.

There was no such thing as cowardice in the world of pirates.

But even then.

Kaido wanted to defeat Oden.

In a head-on battle, clashing blades, clashing Haki… He wanted to experience a fight where even death was acceptable, a fight against a truly powerful opponent, the joy of battle culminating in the moment of death.

However, to achieve that, he had to approach the summit of strength himself. He couldn't die before reaching that level.

"I'm going to defeat you."

"Try it."

Red clouds, known as "Flame Clouds", swirled around his arm, and blue scales, the same as those in his dragon form, covered his body.

His physique, already larger than Kanata's, had grown even more massive in this hybrid form.

Even then, he felt he was still inferior.

"Challenging the strongest… It's not a bad way to spend my time…!"

His club crackled with lightning as he reinforced it with Armament Haki. It was his most powerful attack, without holding back.

Kanata, in response, channeled her Haki and ice into her spear. A technique that would kill with a single blow.

"–Thunder Bagua!!!"

"–God Slayer!!"

***

"…So you're saying the World Government has turned against us?"

'No, the World Government isn't unified. The Twilight Pirates are powerful. They're currently our allies as Warlords, but… there's a chance they could turn against us in the future… The higher-ups are concerned.'

They had shown too much strength during their invasion of Wano.

Some government officials, threatened by the Twilight Pirates, had decided to weaken them.

'They want power, but they don't want something beyond their control… There might be other reasons as well.'

Wano was one of the few countries that produced Seastone. Perhaps they were also concerned about the high-quality weapons the government possessed.

The only relationship between the Twilight Pirates and the World Government was the Warlord system. Their weapons and food were traded with individual nations. They had no direct dealings with the government because Kanata had no interest in it.

It was understandable that some considered the Twilight Pirates' conquest of Wano undesirable.

'I don't know if this is the Five Elders' doing, but–'

He realized he was getting sidetracked. He had to tell them the main point.

'I'm getting off-topic.' He corrected himself.

'The Big Mom Pirates have already set sail a few days ago.'

"…!!"

'Yes, I know you're surprised. But their destination probably isn't Hachinosu.'

"Where are they going?"

'Wano.'

Gloriosa gasped.

They could crush the Beasts Pirates if they continued like this, but if the Big Mom Pirates joined the battle…

"This is a major development. Is the World Government trying to make enemies of everyone?"

'Who knows. But if it becomes a three-way battle, all the forces involved will inevitably be weakened. Maybe they're hoping one of us will be eliminated.'

He didn't know the World Government's true intentions.

The Big Mom Pirates had departed from Whole Cake Island a few days ago, and based on their course, they were heading towards Wano, but… their objective was unknown.

The situation was constantly changing.

Naturally, he didn't expect to be able to maintain his position.

'I'm sure I'll be discharged from the Marines for leaking this information. Can you give me a job?'

"That's not something I can decide on my own, nyon. But I'll consider the valuable information you've provided."

'That's enough. I have a son. I don't want him to be left alone.'

Then why had he risked everything to contact them?

Wouldn't it have been better to keep silent for his family's sake? Gloriosa asked.

'Well… I wouldn't have done something like this before.'

But, he chuckled.

'That woman, Kanata… she's a true witch. I knew I wanted to be on her side as soon as I saw her.'

It wasn't exactly love at first sight.

It was an inappropriate emotion for a Marine to feel towards a pirate, but Kanata had something that drew people to her.

He had acted on impulse, breaking the government's gag order, betraying the Marines and siding with pirates.

But he had no regrets.

'I'll pray for your safety. It would be troublesome if I lost my job.'

***

BOOM!

An explosion erupted. The shockwave, like a raging storm, flattened trees, sending Kaido's body flying like a ball.

Kanata's incredible strength, capable of clashing head-on with a Zoan Devil Fruit user, was likely due to her mastery of Haki. Kaido, enduring the blows, felt it instinctively. He honed his own power as he was sent flying.

Focusing it partially wasn't enough. Covering his entire body in Haki was too inefficient.

Then, what should he do? – He continued to think.

To stop thinking was to accept defeat.

If he was determined to become the strongest, then he had to steal everything he could from the powerful individuals before him. Their fighting style, the source of their strength – if they were both human, then there was nothing impossible.

"OOOOOOHHH!!"

He swung his club, sending Kanata's body flying.

But in the blink of an eye, she regenerated, unharmed. He had left himself wide open, and she had exploited the opportunity, slashing him.

He needed to move more efficiently, more quickly – he had to deliver a blow so fast that she couldn't even react.

"–Thunder Bagua!!!"

His Haki and lightning-infused attack, a powerful blow, was effortlessly parried.

He was kicked in the side, sent flying again, coughing up blood.

It was a one-sided beating, but Kanata was relentlessly aiming for swift, decisive strikes. He had realized this, and now he could defend. He focused his Haki on specific areas of his body to minimize the damage, enduring the attacks, buying time.

He had to get stronger, stronger, stronger – The summit was still far away.

"…."

He was gradually adapting to her attacks. While he was still being hit, his increased durability and his newfound skill in focusing Haki had significantly enhanced his resilience.

She reminded him of his past self.

Haki blossomed in battle against strong opponents.

This man could surpass him one day. It was a thought that filled him with a strange sense of regret, but… he couldn't allow that to happen.

He had to crush him.

He had to take his head.

He had already sustained several fatal wounds. Even with his Zoan Devil Fruit ability, he wouldn't survive much longer.

"This is where you end."

The Beasts Pirates end here.

She raised her spear, clad in black Haki, instantly closing the distance between them.

Their weapons clashed several times. She broke his stance, aiming for his heart.

"–I'll take your heart."

No matter how durable he was, destroying his internal organs would prevent regeneration. He was too dangerous to leave alive.

She aimed her spear at Kaido's heart as he stumbled – and it was suddenly deflected by a blade that appeared out of nowhere.

"–?!"

She instantly retreated.

Very few individuals could intervene in a battle between her and Kaido. And she recognized the weapon.

"Linlin… Why are you here?!"

"Mamahahaha…! I can't be here?"

A massive figure, nearly as tall as a giant, with pink hair. She commanded Prometheus and Zeus, wielding the power to control the weather.

The Marines had supposedly dispatched surveillance ships, but there had been no reports. It was a considerable distance from Whole Cake Island to Wano. They would have had to depart several days ago to arrive in time.

"Sengoku…!"

Kanata muttered, irritated.

She shouldn't have trusted the Marines. If she had used her own subordinates to monitor Linlin's movements, this situation wouldn't have happened.

Standing beside Kaido, Linlin watched Kanata, trying to gauge her next move.

"Linlin…! What the hell are you doing here…!"

"Don't try to act tough, Kaido. You're on the verge of death."

Kaido, bloodied and dying, stood up, glaring at Linlin.

It seemed he hadn't called for her.

"I hate that woman. You hate her as well, don't you? Then there's only one thing to do."

"What are you talking about…?"

"An alliance."

Both Kanata and Kaido were stunned.

An alliance between pirates. Linlin, who couldn't stand Kanata, had realized her own forces weren't enough – she was asking for Kaido's help.

"Or do you want to die here?"

"…No."

He couldn't die here.

He was far from the strongest. He had to become stronger, see a higher realm – He would die after that.

Kaido laughed, glared at Kanata, then replied to Linlin's offer.

"Very well, Linlin. I accept your proposal!"

"Hahahamama!! That's the spirit!!"

Linlin wielded Napoleon in her hand.

Kanata was vigilant of these two troublesome giants with her spear at the ready.

"You've made things complicated. But it doesn't matter – I'll simply sink both of you."

"Hahahamama!! You talk big, Kanata!! Then try it!!"

"Wororororo!! Let's resume our fight!!"

They unleashed their Conqueror's Haki – It wasn't a three-way battle. It was two against one.

The world's most fearsome pirate alliance was born, shaking the very foundations of the world.

***

A trident flew towards them.

Zen narrowly dodged the attack, parried the next blow and created distance.

"I never expected to see the Big Mom Pirates here."

Standing protectively before the wounded Queen was Charlotte Katakuri, one of the Big Mom Pirates' Sweet Commanders.

Queen, unhappy about being rescued by a rival pirate crew, or perhaps simply irritated by his defeat, glared at Katakuri.

"What are you doing, Katakuri…!"

"Mama's orders. We're forming an alliance with the Beasts Pirates… I wasn't sure if it would work out, but it seems the alliance has been established."

A baby Transponder Snail rested on Katakuri's hand which broadcasted Linlin and Kaido's conversation.

The arriving Big Mom Pirates, hearing the news, immediately sprang into action.

"I'm not exactly thrilled about it, but if Mama says so, then we have no choice, Perorin♪"

"The enemy is powerful. Don't be careless, Brother Perospero."

"There are a lot of giants… That's troublesome."

"The Twilight Pirates' executives are strong. Attack in groups of at least two. Katakuri and Cracker can handle them alone, though."

"Smoothie, this is your first time facing the Twilight Pirates, right? Don't let your guard down."

"Brother Oven, you should be careful not to let your eagerness get the better of you."

Linlin's children were strong. They formed the core of the Big Mom Pirates' executives, and their strength, inherited from their mother, was exceptional.

Katakuri and Cracker were considered strong enough to handle the Twilight Pirates' executives alone.

King, who had been fighting Junshi, joined Queen and the others, taking a moment to catch his breath. The Twilight Pirates were also surprised by the sudden alliance between the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, but they quickly reorganized their forces.

"Wow, an alliance between the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates. Pirates, ninjas, samurai, and… creatures that aren't even creatures. This is getting crazy."

"Kuhaha, this is exciting! The Big Mom Pirates have many strong fighters. We won't be bored."

"Just how many are there…? Their main force, their subordinate crews, and Big Mom's Homies… There must be at least 20,000."

"Hihihi, it doesn't matter how many grunts they have. Right, Teach?"

"Zehahahaha! You're right! But it's impressive to see all their executives gathered in one place! Even if they're our enemies!"

"This is no laughing matter. We're here to avenge Oden-sama…"

"Is that one of them…? Should we crush it…?"

Both sides were eager to fight. It was a grand battle, a clash of forces that would shake the very world.

– Round Two had begun.
