I'm A Plunderer In The World Of One Piece. - Chapter 561 561: 561: The Emperors’ Gaze

At the very moment the distant clash erupted, the sky itself seemed to tremble.

“Hm?”

Admiral Silver Serpent abruptly turned his head. He abandoned his leisurely slaughter of pirates who had been no different from livestock beneath his lightning, his body lifting into the air as silvery electricity danced wildly across his form. Excitement surged through him, his lips curling into a thrilled grin as his entire body crackled with power.

“There’s another expert here.”

His senses sharpened. Two overwhelming auras collided violently in the distance, neither yielding an inch. The pressure alone was enough to twist the air.

“Hahahaha! That wild, ferocious presence… could it be one of the Four Emperors? Kaido?”

Boom!

Without hesitation, Silver Serpent shot upward, his body dissolving into pure lightning. He threaded through the clouds at blinding speed, racing toward the source of those clashing auras with open delight.

“He… he’s gone!”

The surviving Beasts Pirates stared in disbelief as the terrifying Marine Admiral vanished into the sky.

“Anyone who can swim, get to the sea now! Rescue Jack!”

“Medical teams, check Queen immediately!”

Only after confirming that Silver Serpent had truly left did the crew dare to breathe again.

“We survived… we actually survived.”

“Did Kaido and Straw Hat Luffy draw his attention away?”

Whispers rippled across the decks, relief and lingering fear mixing on every face.

They had all heard the rumors. This newly appointed Marine Admiral wielded lightning capable of erasing entire battlefields. Any pirate caught within his range was reduced to ash in seconds. Compared to him, even the former Admiral Aokiji felt restrained.

Worse still, his speed rivaled that of Admiral Kizaru.

You could not fight him.

You could not flee.

To face Silver Serpent was despair itself.

Crack!

Thunder split the heavens as a massive thunder dragon roared through the clouds, its presence shaking the sky.

“What the hell is that?!”

Yamato rose sharply from her training stance, gripping her spiked club Akin, eyes wide as she stared upward at the raging lightning beast.

“Who would release something like that inside thunderclouds?!”

Luffy shaded his eyes beneath his Straw Hat, staring up with a grin of pure excitement.

“Hahaha! Yamato, I think I’ve seen lightning like this before!”

“Hmph.”

Kaido rested the Eight Precepts on his shoulder, his expression darkening as he glared skyward.

“That Marine brat. So he dares step into my territory.”

His voice rumbled with irritation.

“Does he think a flashy display will intimidate me?”

Rumble!

Thunder answered him.

A voice echoed from the clouds, arrogant and exhilarated.

“Hahahaha! What incredible luck. An Emperor and Straw Hat Luffy, all in one place. Perfect.”

Lightning spiraled violently.

“Come, let us witness the power of the most destructive Logia Devil Fruit!”

Crack!

“Silver Serpent: Thunder Dragon Subjugation!”

The sky detonated as lightning condensed into a colossal dragon, its body layered with gleaming electric scales. The beast twisted and roared, clutching the thunderclouds as it descended with terrifying momentum.

“ROAR!”

The sheer destructive pressure forced Kaido and Luffy to halt their confrontation instantly.

“Don’t interfere, brat,” Kaido roared, stepping forward. “I’ll crush it.”

His presence exploded outward as Haoshoku Haki surged through the Eight Precepts.

“Thunder Bagua!”

The strike tore through the air.

“Hey, old man! Don’t hog everything!”

Luffy laughed, his arm swelling massively as power surged through him.

“Fourth Form: Gum-Gum Dragon King Roar!”

His punch mimicked a dragon’s breath, roaring forward with Haki-infused force.

Boom!

Three overwhelming powers collided midair.

The thunder dragon shuddered but did not yield. Instead, the compressed lightning grew more violent, screaming as it destabilized.

Crack! Sizzle!

The energy reached its limit.

Boom!!!

The thunder dragon exploded, detonating into a colossal pillar of lightning that pierced from sky to earth. The forest vanished beneath blinding light as electricity raged in all directions.

Amid the chaos, Luffy burst into laughter.

In a heartbeat, his body transformed into his fifth form, Sun God Nika.

“Hehehe! This is awesome! Even stronger than Enel’s lightning!”

Sunglasses formed over his eyes as his Straw Hat hardened into a shield. He blocked the raging electricity from every direction, laughing as though standing beneath harmless rain.

“I like this guy!”

Kaido, now in his Dragon-Human form, braced himself against the storm.

“Impressive lightning,” he admitted, eyes narrowing dangerously.

Behind him, Yamato transformed into her Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Okuchi no Makami form, encasing herself in ice to withstand the onslaught.

“No wonder he’s arrogant,” she muttered. “This power is real.”

Kaido’s aura darkened, blood-red fury creeping into his pupils.

“But involving my son…”

Before Kaido could move, Luffy leapt skyward, spinning wildly through the lightning.

“Charge!”

Ignoring the damage entirely, he accelerated with impossible movements, launching himself straight toward the thunderclouds.

“Hehehe! Take this!”

His fist multiplied midair, slamming forward with overwhelming force.

“Clear Skies! Gum-Gum Sunny Doll Punch!”
