Chapter 404 55
"Mind giving your boss Kaido a call? I'd like to have a little chat with him," Rosinante said casually.
As he spoke, he loosened his grip and allowed Boa Python to pull his enormous tail back.
The gigantic Savage Giant Python's body immediately began shrinking and twisting before returning to human form, revealing Boa Python's uncertain expression.
"Interesting," Boa Python sneered coldly.
"You actually want to talk to Kaido-sama?"
"But who do you think our captain is?"
"If you want to meet Kaido-sama, you'll have to get through me first."
"Our boss is one of the Four Emperors."
"He's not someone just anybody can meet."
As he spoke, Boa Python assumed a combat stance toward Rosinante.
Dense Armament Haki gathered around both his fists while he stared at Rosinante with complete seriousness.
Although he had canceled his full beast transformation and returned to human form, the terrifying vitality radiating from his body hadn't weakened in the slightest.
In fact, the powerful life force around him only seemed to grow stronger and stronger.
"Interesting…" Rosinante suddenly smiled.
"Awakened Ancient Zoans really are quite rare."
"Fine then."
"I'll play with you a little."
He casually set down his wine glass, jumped down from the rock, and slowly walked toward Boa Python.
Seeing Boa Python actually challenge Rosinante, Trebol sneered.
"He really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
"Is this Dragon King really that strong?" Law still asked skeptically.
The strength Boa Python had displayed earlier had shocked him far too deeply.
Meanwhile, Rosinante looked completely ordinary.
Although Law understood Rosinante definitely wasn't as simple as he appeared, he still found it hard to believe Rosinante could truly surpass Boa Python.
"Take the 'maybe' out of your sentence," Trebol said.
"Ten years ago, Dragon King-sama already stood on the same level as Kaido."
"Dealing with one mere Calamity would naturally be effortless."
"Although…" Diamante added thoughtfully, "Dragon King-sama spent the last ten years unconscious in bed, so perhaps his strength declined somewhat."
"But even if fighting Kaido again might not be guaranteed…"
"Defeating Boa Python should still be easy."
"Dragon King-sama is very strong," Pica said firmly.
Hearing the Donquixote Family's three top executives all speak with such confidence, Law and the others looked toward the battlefield with even greater curiosity.
"It seems the Donquixote Family trusts you quite a bit," Boa Python said calmly while looking at Rosinante.
"Maybe," Rosinante replied lazily.
"It's nothing special."
"No need to pay attention to them."
"Indeed," Boa Python sneered.
"The opinions of weak trash don't matter anyway."
Then his gaze sharpened slightly.
"Oi, Dragon King…"
"You're a Devil Fruit user, right?"
"The way you erased my attack earlier and prevented me from pulling my tail back…"
"That was your Devil Fruit ability, wasn't it?"
"That's right," Rosinante nodded openly.
"I can erase the power behind attacks."
"So you'd better be careful."
"If I touch you…"
"All your attacks will become meaningless."
"Stop talking nonsense," Boa Python scoffed coldly.
"If it's a Devil Fruit ability, then naturally it has weaknesses."
"At the very least, Armament Haki should be able to resist it."
"That's true," Rosinante replied casually.
"Armament Haki can weaken and resist my ability."
"But the prerequisite is that your Haki must be strong enough."
"If you think yours qualifies…"
"Then go ahead and try."
"I was planning to," Boa Python sneered.
His fists tightened.
The Armament Haki around them became even denser.
And in the very next instant—
Boa Python exploded forward toward Rosinante at incredible speed.
He crossed the distance in a blink.
Then suddenly accelerated again.
To Law and the others, Boa Python vanished completely from sight.
BOOM!
A moment later, Boa Python reappeared beside Rosinante and unleashed a vicious kick directly into Rosinante's shoulder.
Law and the others stared with their mouths wide open.
Boa Python's sudden burst of speed had been so fast they couldn't even track his movement.
By the time they saw him again—
His kick had already landed.
Law couldn't help feeling disappointed.
After hearing Trebol and the others praise Rosinante so extravagantly, he had expected a fierce clash at the very least.
Something worthy of the title "Dragon King."
But instead—
The battle seemed to end instantly.
The supposedly terrifying Rosinante had been hit directly before even making a move.
Yet at that exact moment—
Boa Python's expression suddenly changed drastically.
Shock filled his face.
He had indeed landed the kick.
But the instant his foot touched Rosinante—
Every bit of power behind the attack vanished silently.
Completely erased without leaving the slightest trace behind.
"How is that possible?!" Boa Python exclaimed in disbelief.
"I already condensed my Armament Haki to an extremely high density!"
