Chapter 1659 Does it possess the power of the Azure Dragon?
The Dragon Force Roger Cheney clashed head-on on the battlefield with Akaza, who had opened the Eight Gates. The pure power they displayed, enough to shake the earth, was clearly transmitted through the broadcast screen to the hearts of every spectator inside and outside the battlefield.

Kaido's copper bell-like eyes were fixed on the figures engaged in fierce battle on the screen.
If Akaza's immortality intrigued him, then Roger Cheney's display of a strange power resembling the Twin Dragon Fruit was even more so.
His fighting style, which allowed him to freely switch between shadow and light—two completely opposite attributes—truly stirred up waves in his heart.
He was, after all, a martial artist, a battle maniac who pursued the ultimate in power.
The development of his Azure Dragon form largely depends on his innate fighting instincts; his current level of training is purely based on guesswork.
If he truly had a more systematic and intelligent approach to training and developing his abilities, he wouldn't be resorting to suicide and extreme methods to toughen his body every now and then; he simply had no other options.
What is the power of the dragon?
Kaido's deep voice, carried with undisguised intense interest in the empty space.
On the screen, Roger Cheney was shrouded in thick shadows, with only half of his face clearly visible. The scene of him suppressing the terrifying power of Akaza's secret technique was deeply imprinted in his mind.
The cadres present, including Fei Liubao, looked at each other, none daring to speak easily.
They weren't Mythical Zoan-type Dragon-type Devil Fruit users, so they had never heard of or been able to explain the Dragon Power that the captain had suddenly mentioned, which sounded very powerful.
But Kaido clearly didn't need their answers; he was more like talking to himself, analyzing everything he saw.
"It seems like I really could learn from Lao Tzu's Azure Dragon. Perhaps I could unleash my own dragon power and double my strength!"
Once the idea appeared, it grew wildly in his mind like weeds.
For Kaido, who has an endless pursuit of power, any possibility that can make him stronger is worth paying 200% of his attention.
"Is the power of the dragon about tapping into one's own dragon potential?"
He asked another question, this time sounding more like confirmation of his own speculation.
Roger Cheney's performance on screen seemed to confirm this; it was not just a simple application of Devil Fruit power, but more like a deeper exploration of the essential power of the mythical beast, the dragon.
Moria was also staring intently at the screen, especially at the scenes of Roger Cheney manipulating shadows. "He can actually use shadows like that?!"
Jealousy was written all over Moria’s thin face. As a fellow shadow user, he relied on the Paramecia-type Shadow-Shadow Fruit to steal other people’s shadows and stuff them into corpses to create zombie armies, or cut off his opponents’ shadows to weaken their strength.
But what Roger Cheney demonstrated was a different, more violent aspect of the Shadow Force, perfectly integrated with himself!
The opponent's twin dragon powers were already terrifyingly strong. Moria thought to himself that he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand two punches from such a guy.
What made him even more envious was Roger Cheney's ability to slip into the shadows and move quickly regardless of the terrain, which was exactly what he dreamed of.
Although his Shadow-Shadow Fruit allows him to manipulate shadows, even making them temporarily move independently or change shape, he cannot make his own body blend into the shadows and move in the same way.
This is not only a powerful means of attack and mobility, but also an excellent skill for survival.
"If my fruit could awaken..."
Moria's body trembled slightly with excitement as his mind raced, "Could it also be possible to merge one's body into the shadows, and when encountering a powerful opponent one cannot defeat, simply vanish into the shadows to escape..."
This idea ignited a burning passion within him. Although he always talked about building the strongest zombie army, deep down, his sense of inadequacy and his desire for survival never faded.
"Light and shadow are clearly two opposing forces..."
As Moria looked at Roger Cheney, the White Dragon Fist purified everything, then vanished into the shadows, leaving him utterly shocked.
This guy can actually combine them together and use them? Just what kind of monsters are the Black Order?!
Looking back at the zombie army he had previously created, although it was large in number and contained many powerful figures, it was no match for Roger Cheney's pure and powerful power of shadow and light.
For the first time in his life, Moria felt as if he had taken a crooked path.
"If only I could talk to him, how great would his experience with shadows be..." Moria couldn't help but mutter to himself, his tone filled with a rare longing and envy.
However, he also knew that someone like Roger Cheney, who seemed difficult to talk to, was unlikely to communicate with him.
Moreover, it seems that the other party was willing to be imprisoned in the shadow of that female exorcist named Lucy. The relationship between them is complicated to think about.
Kaido clenched his fists, raised his muscular arms high, and blue dragon scales began to appear uncontrollably on his skin, emanating a faint, violent dragon aura.
He entered a semi-beast state, seemingly trying to sense a deeper level of power within his body.
“Dragon’s power… Azure Dragon’s power…” He chewed on these words repeatedly, his eyes gleaming.
Besides turning white, there might be another way to become stronger. By combining the two, Kaido felt he could become even stronger.
The surrounding officers, including Jhin and Quinn, all wisely began to quietly retreat, trying to increase the distance between themselves and the captain.
They knew all too well that when their captain was in this state of flux, it was best not to disturb him, otherwise they might get seriously injured by an unconscious punch and be bedridden for half a month, which would be considered mild.
"How exactly do we obtain the power of the dragon?!" Kaido roared, sounding somewhat impatient.
He tried to communicate with the deeper power within his body that belonged to the Azure Dragon, but apart from becoming more violent, he did not feel any special patterns like those of Roger Cheney.
He waved his arm irritably, creating a gust of wind. It seemed that figuring out the Dragon Power on his own wouldn't be enough.
"The Black Order..."
Kaido turned his gaze back to the screen, thinking that he should find an opportunity to ask these elusive guys.
But here's the problem: how do we get in touch with this mysterious religious organization?
They certainly wouldn't be found on Onigashima, so what about Wano Country?
Could there be spies from the Black Cult in that closed-off, ancient country that hides countless secrets?
Kaido stroked his chin, lost in thought. Perhaps he should take a trip to Wano Country; even without fighting Orochi, he could find some amusement in his monotonous life.
