One Piece : Kaido Brother

Chapter 492 492

Katakuri, aboard a pirate ship from the Totto Land waters, had been chasing relentlessly, trying to catch up with Shirahoshi, who had vanished from the sea surface.

As their ship approached the vicinity of G1 waters, it suddenly and inexplicably came to a complete halt on the sea.

"What happened? Did we hit a reef?" Perospero rushed to the railing and shouted.

However, before the pirates could determine the cause of the abrupt stop,

they realized their line of sight was steadily rising!

Daifuku exclaimed in shock, "A mountain has risen from the seabed, lifting our ship!"

"No!"

A thunderous realization struck Katakuri's mind as he gazed at the sea disappearing from view ahead.

As far as the eye could see, there was an endless, mountain-range-like mass of black.

The immense life force emanating from this 'mountain range' was like a blazing sun, and it filled Katakuri with an indescribable sense of familiarity!

"It's Father!"

"It's the Kunpeng!!"

Meanwhile, on the land near the Sabaody Archipelago, beneath the former Holy Land, the Seraphim and the CP elites' eyes were filled with unspeakable terror!

"Is that really a size a living being can achieve? Is that a transformed human? Stop lying! Am I dreaming? Someone tell me, is this real?"

"Whether it's real or not, I think we should retreat for now and fall back to the Holy Land!"

"Correct! Let's retreat first, fly up higher!"

In the sky tens of thousands of meters above the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The Gorosei had already witnessed everything happening on the sea surface through Den Den Mushi.

Even though they had witnessed the god-like power possessed by Imu.

At this moment, they were all too shocked to speak.

After a long silence among the five, Nusjuro finally asked with difficulty.

"Where did Lady Imu go? If she had intervened earlier, that monster would never have been able to grow so large!"

Saturn said in a deep voice: "It's not just about size. Haven't you heard of the legend from a thousand years ago?"

The others shuddered.

"Legend has it that all giant creatures on this planet trace their bloodline back to some ancient, enormous life form."

"After that life form, whose size rivaled that of a planet, died, its flesh and blood were consumed by other creatures, giving birth to the sea kings, giant beasts, and giants!"

"And the legend concludes with all giant creatures awaiting the return of their progenitor, that mysterious giant life form, to the world!"

In the white square room of the Flower Room, the massive disc continued to release energy incessantly, transmitting the special frequency emitted by Joy Boy's heart deep into the cosmos.

Meanwhile, Imu, completely naked, was immersed in a vast pool of blood, absorbing the lineage factors within.

Just like what Caesar was doing below, Imu also sought to break through that final barrier.

However, compared to Caesar's breakthrough, her path to becoming a Class A cosmic powerhouse was immeasurably more difficult.

Even in her home civilization of the Celestial Tribe, among trillions of people, those who reached Class A could be counted on two hands!

Setting aside for now how people worldwide were stunned by Caesar's immense size at this moment.

The current Kunpeng body stretched from its tail in the New World to its head reaching into the Grand Line, spanning over a thousand kilometers—like a new Red Line!

In Caesar's mind, it felt as if invisible life shackles had shattered.

Every cell in his body groaned and trembled.

Various energies were drawn in through his pores as they opened, transformed by his body into pure life force.

In a daze, it seemed like some memory inheritance had unlocked deep within Caesar's soul.

He saw in the desolate cosmos a colossal beast soaring through the starry sky.

It resembled a whale but possessed a pair of wings.

Its body was so enormous that it blotted out the planet beside it.

The floating asteroid belts beneath it appeared like mere dust.

It flapped its wings as it flew past a blue planet, leaving behind a wisp of aura that drifted down to this world and was absorbed by a fruit shaped like a large fish.

It continued journeying through the cosmos, where the vacuum felt as smooth as water to it.

Finally, Caesar only saw a massive, blurry shadow break through layer after layer of space and vanish from his sight.

With a thought, the thousand-kilometer-long body rapidly shrank, and Caesar returned to his human form.

Because the Kunpeng True Form was so massive, the area where he had been lying—spanning a thousand kilometers of ocean—was now devoid of seawater.

It had all been displaced by his body, flooding out in all directions.

Vast amounts of seawater poured into the abyss encircling the planet, contacting the scorching magma flowing within the planet's interior, instantly generating endless steam.Above the skies near Sabaody Archipelago, Caesar stood suspended in mid-air.

No wings were spread behind him, nor did he use any levitation skills like Moon Walk.

He simply stood quietly in the air.

"Kunpeng has awakened, granting initial mastery over the Power of Spatial Laws!"

Caesar looked at his palm and lightly brushed it through the empty space before him.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

His hand disappeared, as if entering another dimension.

Now that his power had reached B-Class, the range of his Observation Haki could no longer be described as merely vast.

Combined with the boundless vitality of his Kunpeng form, if Caesar wished, he could even cover half of Water Blue Star with his Observation Haki!

Under his Observation Haki perception, all the slightly powerful auras on this planet were laid bare before him without reservation.

The most powerful by far was Imu, located tens of thousands of meters above in the Pangaea Castle of the Holy Land.

Imu's aura distorted space, resembling a high-density chaotic celestial body that blocked all external detection.

Besides Imu, only a handful of individuals on this planet had reached C-Class strength.

"Roger, Dragon, Rocks, or rather, Teach. Hmm, even those old fellows in the Holy Land have actually comprehended rules."

Feeling the earth-shaking changes within himself, Caesar had a sense that his current self wouldn't be weaker than when he wore the Creation God Armor formed from Joy Boy.

Moreover, this power came entirely from himself and could be utilized with perfect efficiency!

The Power of Creation Rules, the Power of Devouring Rules, and the Power of Spatial Laws.

Three transcendent energies beyond ordinary power levels circulated within Caesar's body.

In his perception, there were still other powers residing within him.

The three types of Haki, racial talents, the Memory Fruit, the Candle Dragon Fruit, and...

A black sun emerged behind Caesar, within which countless human figures could vaguely be seen standing!

These were the souls of those who had died on this planet!

The massive number of souls devoured by Caesar's Devouring Rules during his battle with Zoro!
