One Piece : Winged Dragons of the Beast Pirates

King sprang to his feet, his dark wings unfurled, flames flickering behind him. He leveled his long blade at the Akazaya Nine who were charging desperately toward the mountain below.

Suddenly, circles of flames coalesced into rings behind him. "Fire Dragon Emperor!" he roared.

A blazing dragon emerged from the fiery rings, charging at the Akazaya Nine with fierce claws and fangs.

Lunarians, the most formidable bloodline monster in the pirate world known to date, had powers that surpassed even Charlotte Linlin's defenses. They manipulated flames as destructive as magma and could extinguish thunderous fire with ease.

Such a powerful lineage had only one known descendant left: King.

"Yamato, wake up Jack and Maria!" King commanded. "This isn't the time to sleep."

"Got it!" Yamato replied, leaping onto Ian's back.

"Jack! Maria! Wake up!" Yamato urged, shaking their shoulders vigorously.

Gradually, Jack and Maria stirred awake.

"Big Sister Yamato? What's going on?" Jack asked, confused.

As Yamato explained, the Akazaya Nine, charging toward them, looked up in awe at the descending fire dragon.

"Flames? Leave it to me!" Foxfire Kinemon declared, stepping forward with confidence.

Kinemon's unique swordsmanship, known as Foxfire Style, involved using his blade to control flames. His most celebrated technique, the Flame Split, was capable of cutting through invisible fire.

In the original story, Kinemon even managed to slice through Kaido's heat breath.

As the fire dragon descended, it began to split in mid-air. In an instant, dozens of fire dragons fell from the sky like a meteor shower.

"Huh!"

Kinemon's face turned pale in an instant.

He had managed to slice through it with relative ease, and a few more were bearable. 

But this was too much!

"Leave it to me!"

Raizo, a short ninja with a notably large head, leaped into action. He pulled out a scroll from behind his back and unfurled it. "Ninpo: Scrolling Jutsu!"

A massive vortex suddenly appeared on the scroll, drawing in the fire dragons that had descended from the sky, pulling them directly into the scroll.

"This is the ninjutsu of the Kozuki family!" Raizo declared proudly as he landed gracefully on the ground. "This is my technique!"

It's actually a Devil Fruit power that mimics ninjutsu.

Ian, who had returned to his human form and was observing the battle from atop a mountain, couldn't help but smirk.

Raizo was the user of Scroll-Scroll Fruit, which allowed him to create scrolls capable of absorbing objects or attacks. Though he didn't realize it was a Devil Fruit power, believing it to be pure ninjutsu.

"Is that ninjutsu? Incredible!" Yamato, who was nearby, remarked with awe, not understanding the full context.

Behind them, Momonosuke and Shimotsuki Yasuie were bound in cobwebs and tossed onto the ground, while Jack and Black Maria observed the ongoing battle from their position.

"Mha! King! Your tricks are useless!" Queen taunted as the earth trembled. The giant yellow brachiosaurus charged in, mocking King without restraint.

At that moment, Raizo unfurled the scroll again, preparing to counterattack. 

"Hokan!"

The scroll, which could absorb attacks, now unleashed the absorbed flames in a powerful torrent, catching Queen completely off guard and engulfing him in the surging blaze.

"Wow! Dying really hurts!!"

Queen's anguished screams echoed through the flames.

"Well done, Raizo!"

The tall, burly Ashura Doji praised, "The attack was effective!"

"Phew!!"

At that moment, two beams of light suddenly shot out from the flames. They pierced through Raizo's right shoulder and waist, leaving him stunned and bleeding as he was thrown backward.

"Raizo!!"

The samurai gasped in disbelief.

"Effective, huh?"

A massive shadow emerged from the flames. "Do you know who I am!"

Queen, now in his Human-Beast Form with a tail arched upwards and his modified claws extended to reveal the laser muzzle, aimed the muzzle of his mechanical hand directly at the samurai.

"Imperial Flame!"

A dark figure descended from the sky. King, holding a massive flame, aimed it at the samurai.

Kinemon looked up, then instinctively jumped. "Flame Split!"

As he drew his blade, the Foxfire Style unleashed a powerful, invisible slash towards the palm that had been spewing flames.

However...

With a sharp, crisp sound, the enormous black hand remained unharmed and continued to move without hesitation. It seized Kinemon by the neck and slammed him into the ground.

Rumble!

It was like a meteorite crashing down.

"Ahhh!"

The back of his head slammed directly into Kinemon's upper body. His eyes rolled, blood spewed from his mouth, and just as he was about to hit the ground, flames erupted from the palm of his hand.

"Flame Split? Then try cutting me again!"

Amidst the flames, King stood upright, clutching the fire-wreathed Kinemon in one hand and glaring at the samurai. "Prepare to die."

"Stop!"

Ashura Doji's expression shifted dramatically. "Kin'emon!"
