One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 185 Ace's Perilous Situation

This golden dragon was not only enormous, but what was even more astonishing was that it was much higher than where Ace was. It was like a god high above, coldly gazing down at the tiny Ace with an arrogant attitude that looked down on all living beings as if they were ants.

Most importantly, his remarkable dragon claws are covered with nine thick and sharp dragon fingers! This is the most significant difference between him and Kaido's Azure Dragon form.

"hiss……"

Ace couldn't help but gasp. He hadn't even had time to be shocked when he witnessed Ani in his dragon form.

In the blink of an eye, Aini transformed into an enormous dragon, which stood blocking his way.

In that instant, Ace felt a sudden jolt, and had the strange feeling that he was facing Kaido directly.

However, this feeling lasted only a moment before he immediately came to his senses and realized the difference!

After all, he had fought Kaido before, but the pressure he felt then was nothing compared to the oppressive feeling this guy was giving him now.

The giant dragon before them had a long, winding body, and its scales shimmered with a mysterious and dazzling light, just like a sacred dragon that had truly come from the realm of gods and descended to the mortal world.

Just that casual glance sent a deep sense of fear through Ace.

This intense fear was something he had never felt when facing Kaido.

Although Ace also felt immense pressure when facing Kaido, it seemed insignificant compared to this situation.

This guy is even stronger than Kaido.

Ace instantly came to a conclusion in his mind.

The pressure suddenly increased.

"brush...."

When Aini transformed into a giant dragon, it immediately alarmed many people. The commotion was so immense that it was impossible for anyone nearby not to see it.

For example, Kozuki Sukiyaki.

This guy is the former shogun of Wano Country, the father of Kozuki Oden, the daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country, and the grandfather of Kozuki Momonosuke and Kozuki Hiyori.

He didn't have a good relationship with his son Oden and always opposed Oden's departure to sea. During Oden's absence, Kozuki Sukiyaki fell ill. The original plan was to have Kurozumi Orochi temporarily take over as shogun.

His identity was usurped by Kurozumi Higurashi, who announced that the shogunate would be passed to Kurozumi Orochi, after which Sukiyaki's death was announced.

He was actually imprisoned underground in Orochi Castle. After escaping, he changed his name to Tenguyama Hitetsu and lived as a swordsmith in Amigasa Village. He took in Tama, an orphan of factory slaves, and conveyed to her the hope that "the samurai who returns in a few years will destroy the demon."

At this moment, he was looking at the giant dragon in the sky, his eyes filled with shock.

This reminded him of one person: Kaido, one of the Four Emperors. A figure who, to him, was like a nightmare.

However, the dragon in the sky was golden, so it was clearly not Kaido.

If it's not Kaido, then who could it be?

Dragons... have almost become Kaido's symbol.

As he gazed at the dragon in the sky, namely Ani, Ani's Observation Haki had already detected him.

I immediately guessed who he was.

After all, this guy was the closest to them. So, it could only be one person. That could be Kozuki Sukiyaki, who was with Ayu.

This guy's identity is very special.

If one day I were to take control of Wano Country, this guy would be a good choice.

It's a pity he doesn't have any artificial Devil Fruits; otherwise, he could have been used to test the effects of the Dumpling Fruit. However, this guy is hiding quite well, so there's no rush.

Meanwhile, on a distant hilltop.

A tall, obese man with a head of fluffy pink curly hair tied in a bun on top of his head.

Standing there, looking at the giant dragon in the sky, he was also filled with shock.

The person was wearing a light purple kimono with yellow flower patterns, which was not buttoned up, leaving the chest exposed.

He has purple flower tattoos on his arms and chest.

He had a yellow belt around his waist, a gourd with the character "天" (heaven) carved on it, and an ox beside him.

He is Ashura Doji, one of the "Nine Red-Scabbard Men".

The most powerful being in Jiuli.

Therefore, his strength was beyond doubt. However, at this moment, fear still arose in his heart at the giant dragon in the sky in front of him.

In Wano Country, only two people can make him act this way.

One is Oden, and the other is Kaido.

The former had been dead for many years, and the latter was an enemy... Unfortunately, he was no match for him.

He murmured to himself, "What changes will the appearance of such a powerful figure bring to Wano Country? Will it bring good fortune or misfortune?"

......

At that very moment, Ani suddenly swung its massive, powerful dragon tail, and its entire body shot towards Ace in mid-air like an arrow released from a bow. Its speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Ace.

Faced with such a sudden and incredibly swift attack, Ace's face showed extreme shock. However, at this moment, Enni had no intention of giving Ace any room to react. It opened its blood-red maw and bit straight at Ace.

It's important to know that Ace's ability is a Logia-type, so the use of Armament Haki would be essential for this attack to be effective...

"Oops!"

Although Ace had not yet awakened Armament Haki, with his powerful strength, status, and experience, how could he not know about the existence of Armament Haki?

Faced with a critical situation, he had no choice but to unleash his elemental transformation ability once again, instantly turning into raging flames in an attempt to escape the scene quickly.

With a loud "boom," Ace successfully transformed into his elemental form and quickly left the spot.

Unfortunately for Ace, Enni clearly already had a countermeasure in mind. With another powerful swing of its tail, its speed instantly doubled!

Before Ace could get away in time, Annie caught up with him like lightning, opened her mouth and bit down hard on Ace!

This sudden change startled Ace, his eyes widening involuntarily, a flash of terror crossing his gaze.

It should be noted that Aini's speed was already astonishingly fast, but now his speed has increased even more dramatically!

With such terrifying speed, even if Ace could transform his body into an elemental form, escaping would be extremely difficult.

Ace had no time to react and could only try his best to dodge.
