One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

"Go to hell!!"

"It hurts! Stop!"

On the devastated streets, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Etel screamed in panic, waving their spears wildly, trying to drive back the hormies that were coming in droves. However, there were too many hormies, and they had little combat experience. When faced with such a situation, their fighting spirit had long since disappeared, and they were soon thrown to the ground by the hormies, who frantically bit their flesh and blood, devouring them in an instant.

The remaining soldiers were so frightened by the sight of their companions' miserable condition that they fled in panic, crawling to the rear.

Looking at the enemies who were retreating in panic, Lingling laughed triumphantly: "Mmmm! They are so weak! I was counting on them as an appetizer!"

"Humph, they usually bully the common people with great enthusiasm, but in the end they are just a bunch of paper tigers."

Kaido snorted. He had heard about what these soldiers did from Long Bread and knew that they usually abused their power as kings. He had no sympathy for their plight and kicked the debris on the ground. "If it weren't for Tempaz's support, this corrupt country would be taken down by other pirates in a minute, right? Doesn't that stupid king think that seeking foreign aid is not a long-term solution?"

"That man certainly understands that."

Uno paced around the ruins and said slowly, "Once he finds out that the situation is not good, he will probably prepare valuables and run away, and then return to his country to make a comeback after the storm has passed. Many kings of member states have relied on this method to regain the throne."

Kaido scratched his head and said, "Really? You really do understand these things."

Uno did not respond to his words, but said seriously: "The most urgent task is to capture King Pecunia. Even if we fail to defeat Tempaz, we can force him to cancel the commission to Tempaz and make him hand over all the money."

Kaido lowered his head and said nothing. Although he didn't know much about bounty hunters, he knew that they had strict rules.

If the employer dies due to an unexpected situation during the mission, the bounty hunter must stop hunting the target designated by the original employer to avoid the guild being forced to pay a huge compensation. Otherwise, not only will the bounty hunter qualification be cancelled, but he may even become a wanted person by the government.

Therefore, as long as Tanpaz has not revoked the commission, he must do his best to protect the life of King Pecunia.

In order to successfully obtain King Pecunia's huge fortune, Lingling and his gang naturally would not take his life for the time being.

Of course, not everyone thinks the same way.

"Impossible." Kaido put on a cocky expression.

"ha?!"

Uno's jaw dropped open dramatically, not daring to believe what he said.

"That Tempaz has trapped us for so long, I need to give him a good beating to vent my anger, not to mention,"

At this point, Kaido's eyes became extremely firm, and he said decisively, "When I think of his 'strongest' throne, I can't help but want to take it down!"

"I'm really impressed by you..."

Uno held his forehead with his hand, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But this is your style, isn't it?"

"Well, well, well said! This is our Rocks' pirate!"

After listening to their conversation, Lingling licked her lips and smiled fiercely, "Whether it's Tempaz or King Pecunia, I will make them into powerful Homies and attack them all at once!"

Just as they took a few steps, the ground suddenly shook violently, and countless thorny needles emerged from the ground, each as thick as a bowl, spreading wildly around. Seeing that the speed was too fast, Lingling summoned Zeus without hesitation, carrying herself, Kaido, and Uno, and quickly rushed into the air. At the same time, the place where they were originally standing was occupied by several sharp thorns.

"Are you just going to attack without even saying hello?"

Kaido sat on Zeus, looking down at the scene below. The dense spikes almost filled the entire street, like a dark gray forest. The Homies, who were still full of energy just now, were fixed on the top of the spikes one by one, and had long been silent.

"I wanted to catch them off guard, but I didn't hit any of them. I was so angry!"

"I've already told you that if they can't even handle this level of moves, there's no need to waste our precious time."

Along with a deafening roar, a burly man jumped out from the ground, covered in silver armor covered with spikes, staring at the three people hovering in the air with wide eyes.

At the same time, a figure gradually emerged in the clouds. He was wearing a white robe, with a pair of metallic wings ticking behind him. He held a silver needle in each hand, and his pale face was expressionless as usual.

"It saves me the trouble of looking for it."

Lingling sneered, waved her left hand lightly, and a ball of scorching flame suddenly appeared beside her.

"Fire from heaven!"

The fireball named Prometheus smiled grimly and fell rapidly towards the ground, causing a huge explosion. A hundred-meter-thick pillar of fire shot up into the sky, and countless needles were suddenly melted by the high temperature and turned into a pool of mud. In an instant, the sky was dyed red.

Tampaz narrowed his eyes slightly, and floated forward like a ghost, brushing past the burning beam of light. At the same moment, Lingling rode Zeus and rushed forward at lightning speed, swinging her machete to chop him in the face.

"You think this kind of straightforward approach can defeat me..."

Tempaz sneered at Lingling's crude attack and flapped his wings slightly to take the next step. Unexpectedly, Lingling came in front of him and just made a feint, then quickly went around him from behind.

At the same time, a figure rose from Zeus, accompanied by the sound of violent wind, and swung a stick horizontally to hit Tampaz's waist. Tampaz recognized that it was the horned boy who had fought with him before. Knowing that he was domineering and strong, he did not dare to be arrogant. He turned around and set up two needles to deal with it. At the moment when the two weapons touched, Tampaz found that the force transmitted from the iron rod was far less than before, and then he noticed that Kaido had a strange smile on his face.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Feeling the whistling wind behind his head, Tampaz reflexively kicked back with his right foot, hitting the man squarely in the abdomen. The man groaned, and before he flew backwards, his hand had already touched Tampaz's wings like lightning. Accompanied by a series of "crackling" sounds, countless tiny cracks formed on the surface of Tampaz's metal wings, and in an instant they broke into several pieces.

Seeing that he was about to fall, in the blink of an eye, Tempaz showed his superb fighting skills. He used the long needle in his right hand to separate Kaido's iron rod, and threw the short needle to the ground with his left hand as fast as the wind. When the short needle touched the ruins, all the fragments were combined in several directions and restored to towering buildings. Tempaz's body swooped down, spotted a building, stepped on its surface, and used the recoil force to do a few somersaults before returning to the ground steadily.

Zeus turned in the air and rushed over at an extremely fast speed, catching Kaido and Uno who were about to fall to the ground, and landed quickly with them. He looked at Tempaz and confronted him.

"I heard that Rocks' pirates don't have a very good relationship with each other. I didn't expect you guys to cooperate so well. If this happens, we will lose air superiority."

Tempaz hung his head, looking somewhat lost. Soon he raised his head again, a hint of a smile appearing on his cold face. "With the reward of cracking the Prison of Time, I recognize that you are the most difficult enemy I have ever encountered."

"Tsk, can't you be more generous?"

Kaido hit the ground with his mace a few times and sneered, "Like handing over your head or something."

Tempaz hesitated pretentiously: "Well, this seems to be a very difficult task for us. Of course, whether you can really defeat us is another matter..."

"Mr. Tempaz, stop talking to them!"

After removing the spiked protective nets around him that were used to protect him from the attacks of the sky fire, Herjog waved the meteor hammer in his hand angrily, "Hurry up and get rid of them. I'm so angry when I think about my breakfast being ruined by these bastards!"

"I'm really sorry that my old problem has come back all of a sudden."

Tempaz picked up the short needle on the ground, pointed the long needle at the three people, and said in a cold tone, "But we are also tired of this group of people."

Lingling took two steps forward, looked at the two enemies in front of her carefully for a while, and said slowly: "Based on the strength of the enemy and us, I will teach that time bastard a lesson, and it would be more appropriate for you to deal with the angry man, but... "

She turned to look at the eager boy and showed him a mouthful of white teeth: "If I arranged this, you would definitely be unhappy, right? Mmmmm!"

"Oh hehe! You really understand my thoughts!"

Amidst the laughter, the two men swayed slightly at the same time, leaving two afterimages on the spot. Tampaz and Herjog's eyes fixed, and they felt a sharp gust of wind coming towards them, and they quickly raised their weapons in front of them.

"bump!"

"clang!"

Two heavy voices echoed throughout the street one after another.

Herjog raised the chain of his meteor hammer to block Linlin's slash, creating sparks. Kaido held the mace tightly with both hands, colliding with Tempaz's long needle, creating a burst of sparks.

"Mmmm! You're quite strong! But it's a pity that you're still a little naive!"

Lingling increased the strength of the blade in her hand and pushed forward violently, forcing Herjog back several steps. She turned around and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get to the palace!"

"Yes!"

Before he finished speaking, Uno immediately ran backwards at a high speed, and in a blink of an eye, his figure disappeared.

The two people in the other group stood still for a moment, then stepped back at the same time. Tampaz brushed off the dust stuck on his robe and sighed with a sad face: "Every time I see you rushing towards me viciously, do you really want my head so much?"

"Isn't it the same for you?"

Kaido hefted the mace onto his shoulder and said with a confident smile, "And it's necessary for you to know who is the most valuable of this group!"

Tempaz was slightly surprised and stared at him for a long time. Suddenly, he suddenly understood. He pursed his lips and said incessantly: "No wonder I always felt that you looked familiar. I heard that a newcomer named Kaido joined the Rocks Pirates recently. It turned out to be you. Although I have heard others say that you are very strong, the bounty of 1.11 million is not that good. You are the lowest among our hunting targets..."

"Are you looking down on me..." Kaido said while trying to suppress his anger. He was shaking with anger. If he hadn't been afraid of his enemy's ability, he would have smashed his head with a stick this morning.

"Whether he has real skills or is just a rumor, this is the perfect time to verify it."

A sinister smile appeared on Tempaz's face. "Use your full strength. I don't want to waste my time meaninglessly."
