One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

Kaido had heard Uno mention that the Homies created by Linlin's ability would be divided into different levels from the moment they were born, and given souls of corresponding quality according to their respective division of labor and responsibilities. The Sun Prometheus and Thunder Cloud Zeus, who had always been inseparable from her, were the highest level among all the Homies.

Different from ordinary Homies who use souls taken from others as carriers, Prometheus and Zeus, who were split from Lingling's own soul, are special existences like clones. Even if the power of other Homies is added together, it is far less than any of them.

Therefore, while they, as natural elements, can easily control the weather, they can also be used as powerful weapons to unconditionally annihilate all hostile factors that may pose a threat to their master. It is not an exaggeration to call them the highest masterpiece that Lingling is proud of.

One day, Kaido accidentally learned from the mouth of the bread loaf that Linlin had created a third soul clone. Although he pestered Linlin many times to take it out for him to see out of a strong sense of novelty, he always ended up being electrocuted into charcoal or having several big bumps on his head.

So when he was not assigned a mission, imagining what the mysterious Homies looked like became Kaido's way of passing the time. What could be more worth looking forward to than the unknown?

Now, the question that has troubled Kate for months finally revealed the correct answer in his starry eyes.

"I'm here! Mom!"

Along with an extremely excited voice, the lifeless bicorne printed on the surface of the hat shell suddenly opened its eyes as if it had sensed the irresistible call of its owner. Its eyes flashed with a fanatical light of eagerness to try. The whole bicorne spun rapidly for more than ten times like a living creature, and without warning, it turned into an extremely huge sword in Yu Lingling's hand. "Any obstacles that stand in your way will be the ones I must kill!"

"This-this is your secret weapon?!"

Kaido, who witnessed the entire transformation of the bicorne, opened his mouth for a long time and managed to utter a barely complete sentence. The sudden shock made him forget the scorching heat that was sweeping through his body for a moment. He then clenched his huge fists in front of his chest and said with some complaints, "You didn't tell me about the good stuff right away! Stinky old woman!"

"Well, well, well! Your loyalty hasn't changed at all."

As if she didn't hear what Kaido said, Lingling raised her hand and stroked the blade with a smile. The hard and cold touch made her feel particularly comfortable. Her eyes, which contained murderous intent, inadvertently glanced at the man who had caused her to fall, but her voice was still as gentle and sweet as honey. "But the guy you are about to face can't be dealt with by loyalty alone, okay?"

"Using a part of your own soul...? I can feel the same aura as the sun and thunderclouds from that sword."

As if attracted by Lingling's performance, the one-eyed man raised his head and slightly widened his long and narrow right eye. There was still no emotion on his face, as calm as a mirror. "But is there any difference between this and what happened just now? Or are you so young that your memory is so bad that you forgot the fact that the thundercloud has disappeared?"

"If there is any difference, you can try it yourself and you will know, uncle~"

Lingling spoke slowly but her hands moved without hesitation. She held the huge sword high behind her head. Invisible waves lingered on the blade, making it flash with a cold light. Even from a long distance, one could feel the murderous aura that was almost tangible.

"Elbaf's gun? Powerful to the country!"

As she swung her sword-holding hands violently, a dazzling purple-white beam of light fell from the sky like a meteor across the sky, shooting straight towards Helle Edmund. It was so fast that even the air it passed through vibrated, as if it would be torn in half at any time.

"Ok?"

Looking up at the increasingly approaching strong light, even a battle-hardened master like the one-eyed man couldn't help but frown. He swung the Fang Tian Ji in his hand quickly, and a dark halberd light shot towards the oncoming beam of light with a sharp whistling sound.

boom!

The black and white lights collided in the air, and the impact caused by the violent explosion swept across the entire battlefield madly. The towering mountains around were affected by this huge force and collapsed one after another.

"Did it cancel out...?"

With the help of the strong airflow generated by the explosion, he flipped over and landed on a high cliff where only one person could stand. The one-eyed man raised his head and stared at the sky, his face visibly darkening, as if a storm was about to come, making it difficult to predict what action he would take next.

"Well, well, well! You look like the word surprise is written all over your face!"

But before he could make any decision, Lingling, laughing triumphantly, rushed out from the billowing smoke and dust, riding on the back of a giant fireball. In just a moment, she was in front of the one-eyed man. Even faster than her was the giant sword surrounded by invisible waves, which fell towards him on the head like a meteorite falling to the ground.

clang!

The sharp sound of metal collision echoed in the empty canyon. The Gaoya, which was barely able to stand, could not withstand such a collision and collapsed. The one-eyed man stabilized his body in the air and wielded the Fang Tian Ji quickly to block Lingling's powerful slashes again and again. Every collision was accompanied by large sparks flying.

"I use ordinary swords a lot. Besides being on guard against them breaking due to excessive force, I also have to do regular maintenance. It's really troublesome! And I can't find the Supreme Sword that is said to have only twelve of them..."

Lingling kept swinging the sword in her hand, complaining to herself for a while before changing to a confident grin, "So I have always been thinking, if I give the soul to a sword of decent quality, wouldn't all the problems be solved?"

As she spoke, she raised the huge sword above her head with both hands and slashed it diagonally from the upper right, hitting the halberd heavily. The huge force actually knocked the one-eyed man back a long distance.

"It can be restored directly after it is damaged, and it can change direction freely to hit the target even if it misses! In terms of close combat, Napoleon is undoubtedly the strongest among the three Homies!"

Without giving the enemy any chance to breathe, Lingling kicked her legs and jumped high from the fireball. The scorching flames attached to the giant sword and spread rapidly. With a loud laugh that resounded through the sky, she turned into a flash of lightning and swooped down towards the one-eyed man who had not yet stabilized his body.

"Strange weapons..."

The one-eyed man in mid-air muttered in a deep voice. Although he was surprised by the strange attack of the giant sword that seemed to have independent judgment ability, he did not lose his composure. The Fang Tian Ji held tightly in his right hand dragged a long black lightning, drawing a black arc of light in the air from top to bottom, as if the space was also torn apart by the power of this attack and became a little illusory.

The only thing that couldn't be torn apart was the powerful offensive from the front that was like a devastating blow.

boom!

The halberd and the sword collided again, and countless long lightning bolts mixed with the surging wind spread in all directions. Even the huge Prometheus was blown with flames all over his body, and it was even difficult for him to maintain his original form. Kaido, who was already tightly attached to his back and was almost shaky, was almost blown away.

At the same time, the one-eyed man's eyes suddenly darkened, and his gaze was focused on the sword that almost made his arm numb.

To be precise, the giant sword was no longer the long and narrow blade it had just now. Even the word sword seemed inappropriate to describe it. What appeared in the field of vision was a giant scimitar with an unmatched sharpness. A ferocious face appeared on the surface of the blade, revealing two rows of sharp teeth like spikes, which looked particularly creepy in the blazing flames.

"By the way, why did you suddenly change to accepting the challenge?"

Lingling gradually gained the upper hand in the pure strength duel, and continued to increase the strength on her hands covered with dark domineering, and did not forget to taunt, "Use your body to block my moves like you did just now! Or are you afraid of being hit by Napoleon?!"

The one-eyed man didn't say anything. He held the Fang Tian Ji tightly in his right hand to block the giant knife that was pressing down bit by bit. At the same time, his entire left leg was wrapped in a rapidly spinning whirlwind, and he kicked towards Lingling's lower body which seemed to be unprepared.

"Oh? You noticed that my main body couldn't move freely in the air."

As if she had already calculated that the opponent would make such a move, Lingling twisted her body strangely and quickly at the moment when the opponent's kick fell, and swung the blade to cleverly relieve the huge force. However, the whistling wind and waves made the air flow in the air extremely unstable, causing Lingling's body, which was originally flying backwards, to fall straight down involuntarily.

"Hey! Lingling! What are you doing? I told you not to do anything without permission—"

Kaido, who suddenly witnessed this thrilling scene, could not help but exclaimed. Just as he was about to jump down desperately with his mace in hand, he heard a sharp shout coming from far below.

"Idiot! Just stay there and watch carefully!"

Lingling's face did not show any panic as her body fell rapidly. Instead, she showed a smile that showed that she was in control of the situation. "It's gone into thin air? Although I really want to kill that little devil who keeps failing in his work, it's obviously not the right time now!"

The sky is full of great freedom and freedom!

The moment the words fell, the originally pitch-black sky suddenly began to surge and flash with thunder. Each flash was accompanied by a thunderous explosion. In the one-eyed man's eyes, which were dilated with surprise, the sky was filled with thunder and lightning, pouring down like an overwhelming storm, engulfing him in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a pillar of thunder was cast from the dark clouds, illuminating half of the sky. It caught Lingling who was about to fall to the ground in almost an instant, and suddenly turned around, drawing a gorgeous arc in the air, and rushed towards the sky at a rapid speed.

"Well, well, well! I almost forgot to tell you! Those Homies who were given souls by me personally were beaten to pieces or blasted into ashes!"

Lingling quickly turned over and gently lifted her hair that was somewhat messed up by the oncoming strong wind. As the jumping and flashing lightning under her feet gradually gathered into the shape of a huge dark cloud in the gathering airflow, the corners of her lips, which were already smiling, couldn't help but rise higher, "As long as I haven't fallen down completely, they will never be able to kill me!"

"Mom! Please correct the wording you just used!"

Zeus, who no longer had the innocent and adorable look he used to have, couldn't help but puff up his cheeks and protest indignantly, "I'm usually very obedient, how can you say you want to kill me?!"

"Oh my! How can that be possible? I have always loved you the most."

Lingling, with an insincere smile on her face, gently comforted this pet who was always the most gullible. Unknowingly, the two of them had flown to Prometheus' side and stood side by side with him. Lingling looked up and stared at the lightning column in the air, which turned into bits of debris and floated in all directions. The corners of her mouth twitched twice, and the smile on her face became a little forced, "But why does that guy give people a similar feeling..."

"It's just a boring trick... So what if I can't kill you?"

The one-eyed man, whose armor was not damaged at all, brushed off the dust on his body. He shook the Fang Tian Ji in his hand. The tip of the halberd flashed with cold light, as if it contained the ultimate murderous aura. His voice was as silent as dead water. "As long as your attack is ineffective from beginning to end, everything will be meaningless."

"Really? That's exactly what I felt..."

Lingling, who was carrying Napoleon, who had transformed into a giant sword, on her shoulders, glanced at him with a half-smile, then turned around with a gloomy face and shouted at the figure standing on the blazing fireball without any courtesy, "Remember this! If you dare to make even the slightest mistake next time, I will be the first to beat you half to death and throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"

“Gah! Old woman, when did you also master the Observation Haki that can foresee the future?”

Kaido, who was perfectly suited to the high temperature of Prometheus and stood upright, also imitated this moody predecessor and carried a mace, with a rough face and a smile that looked a bit like asking for a beating, "I was just about to say the same thing!"

"Well! Anyway, don't remove that thing before that guy dies completely!"

As Lingling waved her right hand, Zeus and Prometheus seemed to understand what she meant. Their huge bodies began to fall rapidly towards the ground, and they stopped abruptly less than a meter away from Kaido with his screams of imminent collapse.

"You decided that your aerial maneuverability was inferior to mine, so you decided to choose the ground as your battlefield...?"

The one-eyed man slowly descended from the sky to the ground. His dark grey eyes flashed with a hint of arrogance that only a superior person would have, as if he had seen through his opponent's intentions. He said leisurely, "Use all your strength to launch an attack, and then kneel down and die powerlessly after I have neutralized all your moves."

"You are so bold... I will certainly satisfy your request, but I don't know if you will——"

Lingling jumped down from the fireball and raised her right hand, aiming the blade at the enemy standing opposite her without any preemptive warning. She licked her lips with her long red tongue, and her eagerness became more and more uncontrollable as her smile deepened. "What if you can't bear it and fall to the ground before we have fully exerted our strength?"

Before he finished his sentence, Prometheus and Zeus looked at each other, and at the same time turned into two streams of red and white light that intertwined like spirals and merged into Napoleon in Lingling's hand. The surface of the giant sword was suddenly filled with dazzling white light, as if it would illuminate the entire dark earth.

"Really? You didn't even warn me before using this new trick..."

Kaido, who was suddenly thrown to the ground by Prometheus, stood up shakily, holding his head. He barely recovered from the dizziness and muttered something complainingly. He then took out a thumb-thick miniature reagent bottle from his waist, carefully opened the bottle cap as hard as possible without crushing it, and then raised his head to pour the full liquid in the bottle into his mouth, frowning from time to time, "Although the taste is not bad, the amount is too little for wine, right? But——"

As he said that, he threw the empty bottle in his hand to the ground and smashed it to pieces. Kaido reached out and wiped the wine stains on the corners of his mouth, feeling the power flowing continuously from his body into his limbs. His originally bronze cheeks also flushed deeply under the stimulation of alcohol. He raised the mace and smashed it heavily on the ground, instantly smashing the already rugged ground into pieces. He grinned and laughed, "Since the effect is acceptable, I won't settle with Stussy!"

"It seems that you are ready to fight to the death, right?"

Feeling the burning breath coming from the two people, the one-eyed man raised his finger and hooked the long bangs on his forehead. The corners of his mouth, which had been pursed straight all the time, slightly curled up, "Okay, I will make an exception and fulfill your wish."

"We never thought about dying, let alone planning to die!"

Lingling, with her long hair fluttering in the wind, clenched the huge blade that was shining with dazzling light in both hands, and took a posture ready to strike. She laughed unscrupulously and said, "After all, no matter whether that bastard Rocks falls this time or not, we are the ones who will be the kings of this sea in the future!"

Ringing lightsaber!
