Chapter 35: The Dragon's Roar
Boom!
Kahn's punch was brutal.
After hitting Omar head-on, the surrounding air rippled in circles.
The astonishing air wave erupted again.
Omar, who was hit by the dragon's fist, turned into an afterimage and fell from the sky to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
When he landed, the whole earth trembled, and there was an astonishingly loud explosion.
A large amount of gravel and dust formed a huge dust cloud, which filled the air.
From this, it was clear how much power Omar carried when he fell to the ground.
Just by looking with the naked eye, no one could tell if Omar was alive or dead.
However, those who possess Observation Haki would notice a light that was as dazzling as the sun suddenly dimmed from noon to sunset in the dust cloud.
It was evident that even though Omar was fully armed with Armament Haki, he was seriously injured by Kahn's punch.
If he had been in the air or broken free from the shackles of the telekinesis wave a second or two earlier, he could have bought himself time to accumulate energy and possibly counteract much of Kahn's punch.
However, Omar was tricked by Kahn, who could read people's hearts.
His skills in Armament Haki were only enough to fully arm himself; he hadn't mastered the techniques of external and internal destruction.
With his Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit, perhaps in terms of strength, he had no fear of Kahn, a born destroyer.
But his defence was obviously lacking.
After all, the Float-Float Fruit only enhanced strength, not a defence.
Just as he could easily kill enemies with weak defences in seconds by relying on his power to move mountains, Omar now experienced the same helplessness.
After the dust dissipated, a larger crater appeared.
As for Omar, his entire body was embedded in the ground, his hands shattered, and he was bleeding heavily.
Despite receiving a punch that even the giants from Kahn couldn't bear, he didn't die on the spot. Omar truly deserved his reputation as a big pirate with a bounty of 800 million berries.
Sensing that Omar had lost the ability to fight, Kahn, who was about to deliver a decisive blow, let the telekinesis wave that shone all over his body slowly dissipate.
Immediately, Kahn's long, narrow, red vertical pupils flashed blue light again.
A gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, blowing away the dust cloud from the bottom of the crater.
The blue telekinesis wave once again covered Omar's whole body like an invisible big hand, pulling him out of the ground and lifting him up into the air.
"Forgive...forgive me..."
Floating in front of Kahn, Omar, with blood continuously dripping from his mouth, pleaded with a desperate tone: "I...I am willing to present the banner of the 'Strong Fist Pirates.' Please...please spare my life!"
Presenting the flag represented surrender.
Omar was willing to bring the "Strong Fist Pirates" under Kahn's command.
This kind of submission to save one's life was very common in the New World.
Generally, when faced with such a request, the winner would choose to agree.
Even the three monsters would be tempted by an extra thug with a bounty of 800 million berries.
However...
Kahn raised his huge dragon claws, made a gesture of snapping his fingers at Omar, glanced at the blue sky, and finally said: "Sorry... If it was a few years later, I might have been tempted, but now... your death is more important to me!"
With that, Kahn snapped his fingers lightly.
Under the wind control of telekinesis, Kahn unleashed a huge wind blade.
—Puff!
The size of the wind blade was even more exaggerated than a flying slash from a sword hero. It split Omar's body in two instantly and flew several thousand meters away, cutting off a mountain on the island.
"Roar..."
After killing the New World big pirate with a bounty of 800 million berries with a snap of his fingers, Kahn didn't change back to human form. Instead, he let out another deafening roar.
Then, the wings on his back spread, and the 100-meter dragon soared into the sky.
Flying several hundred meters into the air, Kahn watched a pirate ship sailing away from the island and slowly opened his mouth.
Swish——
The blue light, representing the power of telekinesis, shone again.
His entire body emitted a blue light, and the blue sky dragon, with its own special effects, gathered white light waves in its wide-open mouth.
This white wave of light was the power of the wind.
Under the control of telekinesis, the wind power from all directions gathered in front of Kahn's dragon mouth and compressed into a white light wave.
After charging up, Kahn unleashed a huge white beam of light toward the pirate ship sailing away from the island.
This move was the Breath of the Heavenly Dragon, also known as the Roar of the Heavenly Dragon!
Boom----!
The power of the wind was swift, and the speed of the wind beam was even faster.
Kahn wasn't targeting the pirate ship directly, just the waters around it.
When the beam of light hit the sea, it burst into dazzling white light, engulfing the pirate ship nearby.
A hemispherical white mask, like a mushroom cloud, rose from the sea.
Hoo hoo...
Kahn heard the sound of howling ghosts and wailing wolves from a distance, making it extremely harsh.
In that sea area, it was as if a hurricane had passed. The island of Morlaix, close to the coast, experienced violent waves, and all the trees on the island bowed down.
After the white mask disappeared, a huge whirlpool appeared in that sea area.
As for the pirate ship, it had completely vanished.
Whether it was caught by the whirlpool or smashed into powder by the force of the wind was unknown.
After destroying the "Strong Fist Pirates" with overwhelming power, Kahn flapped his wings and flew back toward Dressrosa.
Rumbling...
At the same time, the island of Morlaix below shook violently.
After a while, this island, considered a prize by the major forces in the New World, broke free from gravity and floated into the sky.
The island flew at a low altitude, closely following the Heavenly Dragon.
This scene was captured by a news bird hovering in the sky.
After freezing the image of the island and the dragon flying together, the news bird put the camera back into the letter box it carried and flew in the opposite direction.
The strongest supernova in history raided the island of Morlaix, where the "Strong Fist Pirates" flew their flag and killed "Super Powerful Fist" Omar with a bounty of 800 million berries in an almost instant kill. The big news that the "Strong Fist Pirates" were destroyed and Morlaix Island was taken away as a trophy would soon spread throughout the New World and even the entire world.
And this was what Kahn meant when he told Omar: "Your death is more important to me!"
Because Kahn desperately needed a reputation right now, a reputation of savagery!
