Two lines of large text appeared in the center of the light screen.
Wano Country’s Wisdom King and Teacher Kaido’s Cram School: The Ultimate Exam The scene cut back to the top of Onigashima.
Under the night sky, the flames of war filled the air.
Luffy fell to the ground for the third time.
This time, he couldn’t get back up.
Kaido transformed into a massive azure dragon, circling in the clouds, and announced Luffy’s death from above.
The samurai of Wano Country wept bitterly on the battlefield below, and a sense of despair overflowed through the light screen.
The entire sea thought the battle was over.
But the background audio of the light screen changed.
Doom!
Da!
Doom!
Da!
A strange rhythm began to sound.
It wasn’t the sound of drums, yet it was more piercing than drums, beating directly on the hearts of everyone watching the sky screen.
Austin’s commentary volume suddenly spiked: “Who says he’s dead?
For a man who aspires to be the Pirate King, sit-ups are just basic operations!” The background music stopped abruptly.
The entire world went silent for a second.
A strange sound of drums began to ring out.
Doom, Da, Doom, Da.
The rhythm was cheerful and full of movement, like the opening of a grand festival.
“Drums of Liberation.” Austin’s voice became incredibly serious, carrying a sense of awe.
“A truth hidden by the World Government for eight hundred years.
That name, that legendary warrior.” Marineford.
Sengoku suddenly stood up straight.
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The Room of Authority.
The five old men stood up at the same time.
The scroll in the blonde elder’s hand fell to the floor.
The bald elder holding a sword pressed his hand onto the hilt, his knuckles turning white.
“Stop…” the long-bearded elder murmured to himself, “Don’t say that name…” But the light screen would not listen to them.
Austin’s voice spread across the entire sea.
“The gum-gum fruit is just a fake name used to deceive people.” “Its true name is…” “Zoan, Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Nika!” In the image, Luffy’s hair turned pure white.
His white hair flickered like flames.
His clothes also turned white.
He floated in mid-air, clutching his stomach with one hand and slapping his thigh with the other, letting out a carefree, wild laugh.
“A-hahahahahaha!” The laughter pierced through the light screen and reached everyone’s ears.
“Sun God, Nika.” “For the first time in eight hundred years, he has awakened.” Eight hundred years.
The World Government had covered up this name for eight hundred years, erased countless historical texts, and killed all those in the know.
Now, the sky screen had exposed it directly in front of billions of people across the sea.
“Eradicate him!
Eradicate that East Blue brat immediately!” The long-bearded elder’s voice cracked as he smashed the round table in front of him with a slap.
At this moment, the Gorosei could no longer care about Garp’s attitude.
“Notify CP0!
Mobilize all available forces!
Kill him at all costs before he sets out to sea!” The five people standing at the pinnacle of world power were now as panicked as cats whose tails had been stepped on.
On the pier of Windmill Village.
Luffy looked at his white-haired self on the light screen and blinked.
“Sun…
God?” He tugged at his cheek.
“Am I not a rubber man?” “But this form looks so cool!” Current Luffy hadn’t even unlocked Gear Second, yet he felt a yearning for his ultimate form.
Makino and the Mayor were completely petrified.
No one knew what kind of danger this implied.
…
New World, Moby Dick.
Whitebeard looked at that white figure, and the words Roger once said to him flashed through his mind.
“Is this the person you’ve been waiting for, Roger?” Whitebeard said in a low voice.
Past timeline, tavern.
The wine glass in Roger’s hand was crushed to pieces with a snap.
Wine spilled all over the table.
But he didn’t care; instead, he stared intently at the white-haired, laughing figure on the light screen.
“Joy Boy…” Roger murmured to himself, then burst into a laugh louder than any before, “Hahahaha!
Rayleigh!
Did you hear that?
The Drums of Liberation!
That is the Joy Boy we couldn’t wait for!” Rayleigh adjusted his glasses.
“That East Blue kid who ate the gum-gum fruit is actually…” “It’s not the gum-gum fruit, it’s Nika!” Roger stood on the table, pointing at the light screen.
“I knew giving that Straw Hat to him was absolutely right!
That kid Shanks has a sharper eye than me!” …
The combat style in the light screen had completely changed.
It was no longer a fist-to-flesh struggle, nor was it the black and red lightning of Haoshoku clashes.
It had turned into a slapstick cartoon.
Kaido transformed into an azure dragon and opened his bloody maw to bite Luffy.
Luffy didn’t dodge; he grabbed the upper and lower jaws with both hands and forced the azure dragon’s mouth open.
Immediately after, Luffy’s body suddenly expanded into a giant hundreds of meters tall, grabbing the azure dragon’s tail and head.
“Teacher Kaido, thank you for your hard work in class.
Let’s do some calisthenics!” Austin narrated.
In the scene, Luffy swung the hundreds-of-meters-long azure dragon around.
Up, down.
Jumping rope.
The dignified Four Emperors, the strongest creature in the sea, land, and air, was being used as a jump rope.
Kaido’s eyeballs bulged out of their sockets, his tongue hung out, and snot and tears flew everywhere.
Accompanied by silly sound effects like “Boing” and “Clang,” the entire scene reached the peak of abstraction.
The entire sea was deathly silent.
The main hall of Onigashima.
Kaido looked at himself on the light screen with his eyeballs popping out, and his brain stalled.
Queen’s cigar burned down to his lips, the skin emitting a scorched smell, but he didn’t cry out.
The flame behind King’s back shrank into a small ball, and even his breathing stopped.
“This…
I’m being treated like…” Kaido pointed at the sky, his voice cracking, unable to even finish a complete sentence.
Wano Country, Flower Capital.
The commoners looked up at this scene.
Some laughed, then cried while laughing.
“Wisdom King…
That’s Lord Wisdom King!” “He’s beating Kaido!
He’s playing with Kaido like a toy!” Wano Country, which had been suppressed for twenty years, erupted in earth-shattering cries and shouts.
East Blue, Windmill Village.
Luffy leaned over the ship’s railing, laughing and slapping the deck.
“Hahaha!
That white-haired me is so funny!
That big worm is so fun!
Jump rope!
I want to play jump rope!” He completely failed to realize that he had just treated one of the Four Emperors like a toy.
The Mayor on the pier had rolled his eyes and fainted.
Makino was holding a tray, her hands shaking like a sieve.
…
New World, Red Hair Pirates.
Everyone on the ship was dumbfounded.
The meat in Lucky Roux’s hand fell into the sea.
Yasopp rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn’t blind.
“Captain…” Benn Beckman had a cigarette in his mouth, and the ash burned his finger.
“This ‘New Era’ you bet on back then…
isn’t it a bit too far ahead of its time?” Shanks clutched his stomach with one hand, laughing so hard he couldn’t stand straight.
“Hahahaha!
This kid!
This kid is really something!
Jump rope!
He’s using Kaido as a jump rope!” Shanks laughed until tears came out.
“I knew he could do it!” …
Past timeline, tavern.
Roger laughed so hard he broke the table.
“Hahahaha!
Rayleigh, did you see that!
Jump rope!
That loach Kaido is being used as a jump rope!” Roger rolled on the ground laughing.
“This kid is too much to my liking!
If only I could have been born in the same era as him, how interesting that would be!” Rayleigh: “It’s not too late now.
As long as you don’t go turn yourself in, you’ll definitely encounter this kid.” …
On the light screen, Austin’s summary arrived as scheduled.
In the scene, Luffy’s fist, larger than Onigashima and coated in Haoshoku and Ryou, descended from the sky.
Kaido transformed into a fire dragon and met it head-on.
“Teacher Kaido did his best, teaching everything from Ryou to Conquerors Haki Coating, and finally successfully helped his student awaken the Zoan, Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Nika.” “To thank the teacher for his guidance, Luffy used a series of inexplicable combos to send Teacher Kaido to the Magma Spa Center.” The screen froze.
The giant fist smashed the fire dragon deep into the ground, and magma erupted.
“Let’s all type ‘Thank you, Teacher Kaido’ in the public chat!” From the East Blue to the New World, from Marineford to the territories of the Four Emperors, countless people repeated the words in their hearts.
Due to being busy with other commitments, I wasn’t able to continue updating it.
The good news is that I’m officially restarting the story.
From today onward, I’ll be uploading one chapter every day until we’re back on a consistent schedule.
Thank you to everyone who stayed patient and continued supporting the story.
I hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters!
