One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger

The evil dragon slowly approached Neptune with steady steps, and every step seemed to strike at the nerves of the guards.

The tension in the air was like a string being pulled tighter and tighter, and finally, several guards could bear it no longer.

"We can't let him get close to the king!" One of the guards gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, stabbing the spear in his hand suddenly, straight into the dragon's chest.

At the same time, the other guards responded, waving their weapons and rushing towards the dragon, trying to stop him from going any further.

"For Fishman Island! We can't retreat!" A guard screamed during the charge, with a strong conviction in his voice, "General Jin'an is a friend of Fishman Island, Evil Dragon, you dare to start a war on Fishman Island!!!"

However, before he could finish his words, the evil dragon suddenly swung his fist, and his arm hit the guard's head directly like an iron pillar.

With a loud bang, blood and broken bones splattered everywhere. The guard's head exploded like a watermelon, and blood splattered all over the ground.

"Huh, Jin'an?" The evil dragon had a look of disdain on his face, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and his voice was cold and mocking: "Who is he? Don't confuse me, the evil dragon, with those lackeys."

He shook his bloody arm casually, as if he had just crushed a fly.

The guards' offensive was instantly interrupted by the dragon's terrifying power. Their steps paused, and their eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.

The evil dragon's indifferent attitude was as if their guards were just insignificant little characters and not worth mentioning at all.

"Anyone who dares to mention that human's name again will not leave alive today!" The evil dragon's voice was low and cold, like a sharp dagger piercing into everyone's heart.

Following his cold snort, the guards stopped moving and involuntarily took a step back, deep fear appearing in their eyes.

The dragon ignored their fear and continued to move towards Neptune and Otohime.

Every step was accompanied by a strong sense of oppression. The guards behind Neptune were shrouded in fear and dared not move forward.

"You losers, you don't even dare to risk your own lives, how can you talk about protecting Fishman Island?" The evil dragon sneered, sweeping a mocking look at the retreating guards, "Jin An is just a clown who dares to challenge me. Sooner or later, Fishman Island will be under my control!"

Neptune's face turned pale, and his hand holding the trident trembled slightly. He knew that if this continued, the situation would be completely out of control.

He took a deep breath, took a firm step forward, and stood in front of the evil dragon: "Evil dragon, stop it! Can you really make Fishman Island better by doing this now?"

Otohime stood beside Neptune, her eyes firm, and although there was a hint of worry in her eyes, she still maintained her usual gentleness.

She looked at the dragon, her voice was gentle but full of power: "Dragon, we are not enemies. Fishman Island needs unity, not infighting."

The dragon looked back and forth between them, and finally a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Unity? Peace? These two words are nothing but a joke to me! You high and mighty people can only stand in a safe place and say nice things."

His eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone was full of murderous intent: "Today, Fishman Island will belong to me, the evil dragon, there will be no other choice!"

After saying that, the evil dragon suddenly took a step forward, and pounced on Neptune with his whole body like a beast, and his fists were as fast as the wind, rushing straight into Neptune's chest.

He will use strength to declare his victory and use violence to seize everything that belongs to him.

A sinister smile flashed in the dragon's eyes, and he sank his footsteps, pouncing towards Neptune and Otohime like a roaring beast.

The murderous intent in the air almost solidified into substance. Every guard felt the suffocating oppressive force, and no one dared to act rashly.

"Otohime, be careful!" Neptune's face turned pale in an instant. He fiercely protected Otohime behind him, holding the trident tightly in his hand, his eyes full of determination.

He knew that he could not retreat, as this battle concerned the future of the entire Fishman Island, and he had to protect Otohime, keep his children safe, and protect this country!

The dragon was extremely fast. His mountain-like body created a gust of wind as he charged. His blood-red eyes stared at Neptune, as if he could tear him into pieces in the next second.

Neptune did not dare to delay at all. He gripped the trident tightly and fought hard against the dragon.

He kicked the ground with his legs and jumped up in an instant. The trident drew a sharp arc and stabbed hard at the dragon's head.

The sharp trident made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, as if it could cut off all obstacles in its way.

"Drink——!"

Neptune roared, his muscles tensed to the limit, the power in his body fully released, and he launched a counterattack against the dragon like a god of war.

However, the evil dragon just sneered at this. He had no intention of dodging, but instead faced Neptune's attack head-on.

He raised his iron-like arm, swung it violently, and used his body to block Neptune's trident, which was attacking with all his strength.

"clang--!"

With a loud bang, the trident pierced the evil dragon's arm, but was blocked.

Sparks flew everywhere, and Neptune's full-strength attack failed to hurt the dragon at all.

"Hmph, do you think you can stop me with just that little power you have?" The evil dragon's voice was low and cold, his eyes full of mockery and contempt.

His muscles were tensed, and the veins on his arms bulged like steel ropes. Neptune's trident was clamped tightly and could not be pulled back.

Neptune's expression suddenly changed, and his heart sank.

He had already used all his strength, but he couldn't even make the dragon retreat a step! The strong sense of oppression made him feel a little desperate.

"Is this all you can do? I'm really disappointed, King!" The evil dragon sneered and exerted his strength suddenly. The whole person was like an angry beast. He swung his arm suddenly and threw Neptune and the trident out.

"Oh!"

Neptune hit the wall heavily, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and his body hit the ground hard with a dull sound.

The trident flew out of his hand and rolled to the side.

His chest heaved violently, and pain surged into his heart like a tide.

"Neptune!" Otohime screamed, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety, and she hurriedly ran towards the fallen Neptune.

The evil dragon looked at this scene, grinning and approaching step by step, "From today on, your Fishman Island belongs to me, the evil dragon! Those who resist me must die!"

He lowered his head and looked down at Neptune who was struggling to get up, with extreme contempt in his eyes: "King? You are nothing more than that. With your own strength, you can't defend this country at all!"

Just as the evil dragon was about to attack again, the air suddenly trembled, as if some invisible force was approaching, causing the atmosphere in the entire Dragon Palace City to suddenly tighten.

The evil dragon's smile froze on his face. He suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance vigilantly, his brows furrowed. "What is this...?"

At this moment, a voice sounded faintly——

"Evil dragon, you are quite courageous."

The evil dragon's pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt a familiar sense of oppression coming over him. This force made his back instantly cold, as if death would come in the next second.
