Chapter 14
Shukaku Appeared

Just as the Scorpion of the Red Sand was about to kill the Celestial Dragon, a blazing lava fist suddenly appeared in the sky not far away...

The speed of the lava fist was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed to the vicinity of the Scorpion of the Red Sand and Deidara...

“Not good! Someone is ambushing us, quickly dodge...” Both the Scorpion of the Red Sand and Deidara reacted swiftly, quickly evading, and of course, they did not forget about Princess Vivi and Ikaram, who were leading them...

“Boom...” The lava fist missed its target and struck the ground directly, creating a massive impact that instantly blasted a large crater in the ground, sending countless lava splashes flying and scorching the surroundings...

Immediately after, the lava gathered together, transforming into a human figure.

This person was none other than Admiral Akainu...

Admiral Akainu, a Logia-type Magma Fruit user, could transform into magma and launch attacks using it...

“Bastard, who are you to ambush me...” Deidara said angrily.

“This is!? Lord Scorpion, Lord Deidara, he is Admiral Akainu of the Navy Headquarters...” Princess Vivi recognized the identity of this person and exclaimed in shock.

As Admiral Akainu appeared, a squad of Navy soldiers quickly rushed out from a distance, surrounding the Scorpion of the Red Sand and Deidara...

“A Navy Admiral!? What a perfect collectible...” The Scorpion of the Red Sand completely ignored the encircling Navy soldiers, his eyes greedily fixed on Admiral Akainu. Clearly, the Scorpion of the Red Sand wanted to kill Admiral Akainu and turn him into his puppet...

“Damn pirates, release the Celestial Dragon immediately...” At this moment, Akainu also noticed the Celestial Dragon bound by the Scorpion of the Red Sand's metallic tail.

“Admiral!? Great, the Admiral is here... Admiral, please save me... I am a Celestial Dragon...” Seeing Admiral Akainu appear, the half-dead Celestial Dragon suddenly shouted as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

“You worthless fool, you are so loud...!?” Seeing the shouting Celestial Dragon, the Scorpion of the Red Sand couldn't help but frown, then forcefully retracted his metallic tail...

“Ah...” A scream rang out as the Celestial Dragon was directly sliced in half by the metallic tail, his blood splattering everywhere.

“You... you despicable pirate, you actually killed a Celestial Dragon...” Seeing the Celestial Dragon die before his eyes, Akainu instantly flew into a rage...

The pirate before him had actually killed a Celestial Dragon, which was a direct provocation to him. Akainu was now furious, his anger reaching a boiling point...

“Tch... just a worthless fool... dead is dead...” The Scorpion of the Red Sand said disdainfully as he forcefully flicked the blood off his metallic tail...

“Damn pirate, today is your day to die!...” An enraged Akainu immediately unleashed his Devil Fruit ability, his hands transforming into blazing magma, and the temperature around them rapidly soared due to the appearance of the magma...

Both the Scorpion of the Red Sand and Deidara were not to be outdone, summoning their puppets and explosive clay...

Just as both sides were on the verge of confrontation, the blood of the Celestial Dragon that had been scattered suddenly gathered together and rushed towards the center of the ruins...

“What’s happening!? What’s going on!?...”

The sudden change made everyone alert, all eyes turning towards the center of the ruins...

As the blood of the Celestial Dragon reached the center of the ruins, it instantly spread out, transforming into countless threads that extended towards the surroundings of the ruins!...

The blood-red threads intertwined, ultimately forming a massive magical array...

“What is this!? A magical array!?...”

Just as everyone was puzzled, the magical array suddenly emitted a dazzling light...

“Puff... rumble...” Following that, countless yellow sands erupted from the magical array...

Along with the eruption of yellow sand, a terrifying aura burst forth...

“Roar... After a thousand years of sealing, I am finally free...” Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the spewing yellow sand quickly gathered, transforming into a gigantic terrifying creature...

This was a massive creature, estimated to be over 70 meters tall, its enormous body covered in light purple patterns, with a gigantic tail behind it...

“What kind of creature is this! So terrifying!... The Alabasta Kingdom actually has such a horrifying creature...” Seeing the giant One-Tail Shukaku and feeling the terrifying aura it emitted, both Princess Vivi and Ikaram were utterly shocked...

“Uncle Scorpion, this must be One-Tail Shukaku!... Let’s hurry up and take action to capture it!...” Deidara said, unable to contain his excitement at the sight of One-Tail Shukaku...

“No need to rush! Someone will help me deal with One-Tail Shukaku...” The Scorpion of the Red Sand said.

After a furious roar, One-Tail Shukaku also immediately noticed the numerous Navy soldiers led by Akainu...

“You are Navy!? You despicable Navy, all of you will die...” Upon seeing the Navy, One-Tail Shukaku became instantly enraged, raising its massive claws and directly swiping at the Navy soldiers...

“Not good... quickly dodge!...” Faced with the attack from One-Tail Shukaku, all the Navy soldiers were startled and frantically tried to evade...

But One-Tail Shukaku's claws were simply too large, falling like a small mountain, making it impossible for them to evade...

“Rumble...” A tremendous roar sounded as One-Tail Shukaku's claws struck the ground, causing the entire ground to shake violently, and the number of Navy soldiers who died was countless...

“Bastard, you dare to attack our Navy, no matter what you are, die!...” Seeing his subordinates being killed, Akainu was also extremely furious...

In his rage, the magma in Akainu's hands quickly gathered, and then erupted instantly...

“Magma - Great Eruption...”
