One Piece : Kaido Brother

Chapter 490 490

"Husband!"

Shirahoshi pouted, buried her head in Caesar's chest, and wailed bitterly with grievance.

Caesar's eyes were filled with nothing but tenderness.

He sat up, embraced Shirahoshi, and comforted her until she finally stopped crying.

A ball of white light emerged from within Caesar's body, pushing the surrounding seawater away to form a considerable space.

He stood up and assessed his current condition.

"Such a strange feeling. Is this white light Joy Boy's power of creation...?"

He looked at the glowing white light covering his body. This creative power wasn't in the form of pale flames like Luffy's.

And now, within his body coexisted both the power of devouring rules and the power of creating rules.

Moreover, because Imu had 'killed' him, this external rule power gifted by Joy Boy had taken root in Caesar's body, allowing him to freely control it.

Having returned from death, Caesar felt his current power had reached a bottleneck. The next step seemed to lead to a new level.

"Peak C-rank? One step further would be B-rank—human-shaped calamities, power on the same level as Imu and Joy Boy."

Caesar closed his eyes and released his Observation Haki outward.

Hum!

Instantly, unprecedentedly powerful Observation Haki swept across heaven and earth!

Caesar's Observation Haki broke through the sea surface.

Both Roger and Shanks shuddered and looked down at the seawater beneath their feet.

"Could it be...?"

Roger and Shanks exchanged glances, a flicker of excitement in their eyes.

The Haki continued upward, spreading and extending outward.

Ten miles, twenty miles, thirty miles...

In an instant, Caesar's Observation Haki extended over two hundred miles, covering a terrifyingly vast range!

The external situation was projected into Caesar's mind like a three-dimensional hologram.

"The world has become like this? And..."

When Caesar's Observation Haki swept over the people on the sea surface, he discovered that his Observation Haki could directly hear the thoughts in their minds!

This was Redfield's Observation Haki ability—reading others' thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Caesar could now do it too.

A trace of sorrow appeared on Caesar's face.

"Shiki... is gone?"

He let out a long sigh and patted Shirahoshi in his arms.

The poor girl had suffered too many shocks today.

Now that Caesar had returned from death, her mental energy was completely drained, and she had fallen asleep in his embrace.

Awakened by Caesar, Shirahoshi wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, blinked her beautiful large eyes, and said innocently.

"Husband."

Caesar gently tapped her nose and smiled warmly. "Shirahoshi, use your ability as the Sea King to summon all the sea kings from around the world. I need energy to evolve."

"Ah? A-all of them?"

A hint of reluctance flashed in Shirahoshi's eyes.

She was too kind-hearted.

Even when it came to sea kings, she couldn't bear to harm them.

"Shirahoshi, you've seen what the world has become. Without enough power, I can't stop that Imu from destroying this world. Although I'm no champion of justice, this world can't be destroyed just like that. Our child hasn't even been born yet."

Caesar stroked Shirahoshi's head and then her belly.

Shirahoshi was taken aback for a moment, then bit her lower lip and nodded firmly.

"I understand, husband!"

Because of the Red Line rising into the sky, the entire planet...

The four seas, the Grand Line, the Calm Belt, and the New World—the seven oceans were now connected without any barriers.

Raging seawater began to flow between all the seas.

Even the chasm left by the Red Line's ascent couldn't contain the massive volume of seawater.

At this very moment.

In the Calm Belt, massive sea kings as large as mountains suddenly heard a mysterious voice in their minds, commanding them to gather in a certain area of the New World.

The voice felt as if it came from the depths of their souls—familiar and intimate, yet carrying an undeniable authority.

Thus, at that moment, countless sea kings across the oceans of Water Blue Star surged like a tidal wave toward the waters near G-1 in the New World.

On the sea surface, Roger and the others watched in astonishment as the surrounding waters continuously swelled.

Under his shocked gaze, an enormous black Kunpeng, stretching forty kilometers long, surfaced with a mountainous ridge!

Right above this colossal Kunpeng, the massive sky island, Vearth, happened to descend.

Then, everyone saw the black Kunpeng open its abyss-like maw toward the sky and swallow the over-ten-kilometer-long Vearth whole.

Clang!

The broken half of 'Ace's' in Roger's hand fell to the ground.

"This... this..."

Roger was at a loss for words, unable to describe the shock in his heart.

But Gin, Doflamingo, and the others were already in tears.

"Boss! It's Boss Caesar!" Gin raised his arms and shouted wildly, wishing everyone in the world could know that Caesar wasn't dead—Caesar was still alive!

Before Yamato, Kaido suddenly opened his eyes, gazing at the massive, winding black ridge, and a smile instantly spread across his face.

"That bastard Caesar, making me search for him like crazy!"

In Shanks' eyes, besides shock, there was also a trace of confusion.

"Why isn't he reverting to his human form?"

Just as Shanks was about to say something to the mountain-like Kunpeng, he saw the surrounding sea surface erupt with sea kings as massive as small hills.

He scanned the area in astonishment, realizing the number of sea kings was unimaginably vast!

"Why are there so many sea kings?"

Shanks couldn't hold back any longer and turned to Roger in front of him.

Roger tilted his head, as if listening intently.

After a moment, his expression turned grave. "The sea kings say their master is summoning them. Could it be... Caesar?"

He looked at the enormous fish form Caesar had taken.

The massive sea kings gathering around seemed like mere caterpillars before an adult in comparison to Caesar.

Doflamingo suddenly interjected, "No! It's the Sea King! It's Princess Shirahoshi summoning them!"

Roger suddenly understood. "The Sea King Poseidon? Neptune's daughter—she was born after all?"

Just as everyone was puzzled by the sea kings' gathering, they saw the mountain-like black Kunpeng open its grand canyon-like mouth once more.

Whoosh—

A deluge of seawater, carrying one enormous sea king after another, poured directly into Caesar's gaping maw.

Shirahoshi stood atop his black fish body, watching this utterly staggering scene, and closed her eyes in discomfort.

But soon, she opened them again in bewilderment.

Because the soul of the great whale she had merged with instinctively sensed the joy emanating from each sea king's heart.

Countless voices converged into a single phrase.

"Master! It is an honor to become one with you!"
