After reaching the level of a great swordsman, Shimotsuki Ryoma returned to Wano Country immediately.

Whether by fate or not, the evil dragon, which was supposed to appear more than twenty years later, suddenly appeared in Wano Country and brought unimaginable disaster to the country.

This evil dragon is actually a user who ate the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form.

......

Chapter 677 The Dragon Horse Returns to Slay the Evil Dragon!

A giant dragon is wreaking havoc, and the land of Wano is devastated, with its people suffering terribly.

In an instant, countless people of ambition, as well as renowned strongmen from the Land of Harmony, set out to vanquish the evil dragon.

As the leader of Wano Country, the general naturally dispatched a large army to subdue the evil dragon at the first opportunity.

However, the dragon was simply too powerful, and this power was not only reflected in its strength but also in its defensive capabilities.

Even the swordsman's slash, even the attack imbued with Armament Haki, could not harm the dragon in the slightest.

Naturally, there are Devil Fruit users among the vanquished.

However, their Devil Fruit abilities were also insufficient to defeat the evil dragon.

As one conqueror after another was defeated, as the general's army returned in disarray, as the evil dragon ran rampant...

Despair and helplessness gradually enveloped the hearts of the people of Wano Country.

The General's residence.

The general, his eyes bloodshot, sat in the main seat and looked at his advisors below, asking, "Do any of you have a way to deal with the evil dragon?"

Upon hearing this, all the staff members lowered their heads, not daring to look the general in the eye, and were unable to answer the general's question.

Upon seeing this, the general, who was only in his forties, looked as if he had aged instantly, and he said dejectedly, "Does this mean we really have to agree to the evil dragon's request?"

Evil Dragon, also known as the user of the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form, recently sent a message to the Great General.

It is said that as long as the position of Great General is handed over to him, he will not only stop causing trouble in Wano Country, but will also protect Wano Country.

Not only the Great Sage, but now almost the entire population of Wano Country knows about the conditions proposed by Arlong.

The people of Wano Country are basically divided into two factions.

One faction urged the general to relinquish his position in order to safeguard the safety of the peaceful nation.

They believed that, given the power the dragon had demonstrated, it was fully capable of protecting Wano Country.

The other faction believes that Arlong's words are completely unreliable, and that the country of Wano under the Great Sage's rule is peaceful and prosperous. They urge the Great Sage not to relinquish his position, and they will stand with him to the death.

However, regardless of which faction they belonged to, they all had one thing in common: they were all waiting for the general's reply.

Among the general's staff, there were actually two factions.

However, the advisors, whose hearts were already on the side of the evil dragon, dared not speak their thoughts to the general.

As staff members, they are very clear about what their superiors like and dislike.

Therefore, they would never intentionally provoke the general.

Amidst this heavy and oppressive atmosphere, a young aide hesitated before speaking up, "Perhaps we could have Young Master Longma take a look."

"He is the greatest swordsman in Wano Country, and his strength is unfathomable. Perhaps he can defeat Arlong."

In fact, the things the young staff member mentioned had already been discussed and even petitioned by the public.

Clearly, none of them knew that Shimotsuki Ryoma had already left Wano Country.

This was naturally the work of the Great General.

Because of the national conditions and policies of Wano Country, only the Shogun knew that Shimotsuki Ryoma had left Wano Country.

The general at the time could never have imagined that a monster like the evil dragon would invade and even cause trouble in Wano Country.

Of course, even if the general at the time had thought of it, he would still have chosen to let Shimotsuki Ryoma leave.

This was not only because of divine prophecy, but also because the general knew very well that the evil dragon, which so many powerful people could not defeat even if they joined forces, could not be defeated even if Shimotsuki Ryoma were here.

Unless, Shimotsuki Ryoma can become a legendary great swordsman.

The general naturally believed that Shimotsuki Ryoma could become a great swordsman, but he didn't know when he would become one.

For this reason, the general had only made excuses to the people during their previous petitions, claiming that Shimotsuki Ryoma was at a critical moment in his breakthrough and could not intervene, without telling the people the truth.

In the past, if the general told the people the truth, even if the people had other opinions, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

However, the current situation is special. If the general chooses to tell the people the truth now, it is very likely to arouse public anger and even cause Shimotsuki Ryoma to be labeled as a 'traitor'.

This is certainly not what the general wants to see.

Just as the general and his advisors were discussing the matter, Shimotsuki Ryoma returned to Wano Country.

Upon returning to Wano Country, Shimotsuki Ryoma saw the devastated town ravaged by the evil dragon.

Startled, Shimotsuki Ryoma immediately sought information from the townspeople.

Upon learning about the evil dragon, Shimotsuki Ryoma's expression immediately turned cold.

Without any hesitation, Shimotsuki Ryoma galloped directly towards the location of the evil dragon.

The news that Shimotsuki Ryuma, the greatest swordsman of Wano Country, was going to slay the evil dragon quickly spread from this dilapidated town to the entire Wano Country.

In an instant, the morale and spirit of the people of Wano Country were greatly boosted, and everyone who knew the news was paying attention to the great battle that was about to break out.

Even many powerful warriors who had failed to defeat the evil dragon in the past rushed to the battlefield where the great battle was about to break out, despite their own injuries, wanting to witness the battle with their own eyes and to know whether Shimotsuki Ryoma, the 'chosen one of the gods,' could defeat the evil dragon.

Meanwhile, the evil dragon also learned through his newly recruited subordinates that Shimotsuki Ryoma was about to come and attack him.

At first, Arlong didn't take it seriously, but after learning about Shimotsuki Ryoma's background as a "chosen one of the gods" and his title as the "greatest swordsman of Wano Country," he became very interested.

The dragon had absolute confidence in its own strength.

Therefore, what the evil dragon was interested in was not Shimotsuki Ryoma's strength.

In the dragon's heart, no matter how strong Shimotsuki Ryoma was, he was no match for him.

What truly intrigued the dragon was Shimotsuki Ryoma's experience of becoming a 'chosen one of the gods'.

The dragon knew about the legends of the gods and longed to find the legendary kingdom of the gods that could grant immortality.

Therefore, the evil dragon decided to capture Shimotsuki Ryoma alive and force him to reveal all the details of his entry into the Kingdom of Gods, hoping to find out how to enter the Kingdom of Gods from it.

Time passes gradually.

The dragon, which was floating in the air, once again spewed a breath of hot air at the already ruined town in front of it.

The dragon's heat breath is extremely powerful, with an attack range of several kilometers. It can instantly vaporize a mountaintop, making it incredibly terrifying.

Countless civilians and powerful warriors who fought against the dragon have been vaporized in the dragon's heat.

Suddenly, a terrifying blade of light, glowing with black light, appeared, cleaving through the dragon's heat breath and slashing towards the dragon against its own heat breath.

Seemingly sensing danger, the dragon instinctively dodged the blade's edge.

It was this action of the evil dragon that stunned the powerful figures who were hiding in the shadows, hoping to witness the battle between Shimotsuki Ryoma and the evil dragon.

This seems to be the first time the dragon has dodged an attack.

......

Chapter 678 Dragon Horse Slaying the Dragon, A Gift from the Gods!

So, who launched this attack?

Thinking about it, everyone couldn't help but look in the direction from which the attack came.

Amidst the rising dust, a figure slowly emerged and walked towards the evil dragon.

Whether it was an illusion or not, everyone who was watching this figure felt an immense sense of terror.

This terror made them instinctively avoid looking at the figure, unable to meet their gaze.

The dragon then turned its gaze toward them.

Similarly, the dragon felt something similar.

As if he had thought of something, the dragon's brows furrowed, and a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his face.

Soon, the figure emerged from the dust and appeared before everyone's eyes.

As everyone expected, the figure was none other than Shimotsuki Ryoma.

The dragon was at least several hundred meters long, and Shimotsuki Ryoma, who was only 13 years old, looked incredibly small in front of it.

But in the eyes of the spectators, Shimotsuki Ryoma's figure became incredibly majestic at this moment, seemingly on par with the evil dragon.

Frost Moon Dragon Horse held the completely corrupted Autumn Water, aimed it at the evil dragon floating in the air, his eyes extremely serious and burning with anger, and shouted, "Evil dragon, I will never forgive you!"

Just as Frost Moon Dragon Horse was speaking, a terrifying pressure transformed into an invisible shockwave, sweeping outwards.

Many people who were impacted by the invisible pressure collapsed to the ground, their faces still showing signs of terror.

Those who could barely withstand the invisible pressure seemed to realize something, staring at Shimotsuki Ryoma with a shocked expression, their voices trembling as they said, "Could this be... Conqueror's Haki, possessed by only one in millions!?"

Conqueror's Haki is extremely rare; no one in Wano Country at this time has awakened or possessed it, at least not openly.

That's why they were so shocked by the fact that Shimotsuki Ryoma possessed and awakened Conqueror's Haki.

Not only them, but Arlong also felt the impact of Conqueror's Haki. Looking into Shimotsuki Ryuma's enormous eyes, a strange expression flickered within him, and he murmured, "A boy with the potential to be a king..."

As it spoke, the dragon's lips suddenly curled into a wide grin, its face revealing an expression of intense excitement. "I really want to destroy it, I really want to destroy it..."

As he spoke, the evil dragon suddenly unleashed a barrage of wind blades at Frostmoon Dragon Horse.

The wind blades are like the slashes of a weasel, incredibly sharp, capable of easily cutting through steel.

To ordinary people, and even to the powerful spectators, these numerous wind blades appeared as an overwhelming catastrophe, leaving them feeling powerless and hopeless.

However, Shimotsuki Ryoma faced this calamity head-on without any change in his expression, nor did he even make any move to dodge or retaliate. He simply stood there and softly uttered, "Water Breathing - Eleventh Form - Nagi."

As Shimotsuki Ryoma spoke, surging waves seemed to appear around him.

The surging waves suddenly calmed down the moment Frost Moon Dragon Horse finished speaking.

Not only the surging waves, but also the terrifying wind blades that resembled a calamity dissipated the moment they approached Frostmoon Dragon Horse, as if affected by some invisible force.
