#1046 - Awakening Storm

The eye of the typhoon formed over the Ghost Island at a speed that was jaw-dropping. Amid the howling wind, there were faint cries of killing. Then, metals of various colors grew out of the ground like sharp swords, scaring many people to run away. However, someone soon discovered one thing, that is, this thing would not hurt people at all. In fact, the metals were soft, and there would be no problem even if they touched children.

“Ka-la-la!”

The ground cracked open again, and soon after, creatures that might have been humans, wearing armor and holding various weapons, crawled out. After they were fully equipped and lined up, they headed towards the direction of Skull Rock.

"What is this?"

Jhin said in shock as he looked at the neatly lined-up soldiers in front of him. His excitement just now faded because of what he saw. His observation Haki told him that these elite-looking soldiers in front of him were actually just empty shells with nothing inside. What were moving were the armors themselves.

"Wu la la la la la la! I just came back and saw an interesting scene. Has Dai awakened?"

Just when Jin felt a headache, Kaido fell from the air accompanied by a burst of laughter. He held Luffy and others who had fainted in his hands and said with a smile.

"Brother Kaido, you're back!"

Jin looked at Kaido and said in surprise, but then he realized what Kaido had just said, that's right! Dai has awakened! Storm, metal and armor, isn't this the embodiment of Dai's power?

Thinking of this, Jhin didn't stay any longer and rushed into the hall of Skull Rock. Then he saw Daisy standing there stupidly looking at her hands. Oh, she was still in orc form.

"Are you okay?"

Jhin walked forward and patted Dai on the shoulder. He was a little worried seeing Dai looking so dazed.

"I, I'm fine. Am I awakened?"

Dai was also a little dazed at the moment. She was not sure what had just happened. After hearing the good news from Lily, she felt her mind go blank, and then she unconsciously entered the beast form. If Lily hadn't felt something was wrong and immediately reminded her, allowing Dai to concentrate her mind and enter the orc form, she would probably have been affected by the sudden power.

"That should be the case. You were already on the verge of awakening, but you hadn't taken that final step because of your inner problems. The news just now was too shocking for you to take that final step. But it could also be because the news was too shocking that you lost control for a while."

Lily looked at Dai and said, at the same time, she also used her observation Haki to sense the situation outside, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was injured. Everything just now happened too suddenly, and so far, Dai's awakening has made the biggest noise, and has had the greatest impact on the island. Even Kaido's awakening did not have such a big impact. When Kaido awakened, the biggest impact was on those wooden houses. They had been old wood for who knows how many years, but they sprouted, bloomed and bore fruit again, and almost collapsed some houses, but it was nothing serious as it was able to be controlled. Lily's awakening had the least impact, which was the fire cloud, a real fire cloud, the kind that burned all the clouds in the sky to ashes. For Jin, the wind and waves became stronger, and sea ice appeared.

These are much less serious than Dai's case, where special circumstances occurred throughout the island and a bunch of things that looked like living creatures appeared.

"bump!"

"Wow! You've really awakened. A lot of things happened during the past few days when I wasn't home. Tell me, Dai, what good things happened? Hmm? Elena is here too. I'll close the door so you don't get blown by the wind."

Kaido walked in. He had no idea where he had thrown Luffy and the others who were in his hands. However, he probably threw them to someone to help take them to the hospital. This was already something Kaido was familiar with, and the process was similar for Enelu before.

"I'm back. Something good happened. I found the gathering place of the Lunaria clan in the underworld. Dai was so excited that she awakened and made a lot of noise."

Lily said with a smile.

"Oh la la la la la la, this is a good thing. Don't blame Dai. Those terracotta warriors outside should be disbanded. You almost smashed them when I walked in."

Kaido said with a smile.

"Huh? What is that?"

Dai was still adjusting to her new abilities and celebrating the good news, and she didn't notice what was happening outside.

"Outside the door, along with your determination, many empty shells of soldiers appeared and lined up neatly outside the door. Speaking of which, when you had the signs of awakening, did you see the ghosts of soldiers and armor?"

Jhin said as he tightened Elena's clothes.

"Uh, I'll go check it out."

Dai turned around and ran out, and Lily frowned after hearing what Jin said, and stood up and followed her out.

Outside the door at this moment, rows of armored soldiers were standing in neat and solemn order. They were all empty shells and naturally did not say anything. The only sound was the rustling of wind when it blew through their weapons and armor.

The soldiers in the front row are wearing heavy armor, holding a large shield in one hand and a short sword in the other hand. The soldiers in the middle row are holding spears and halberds and wearing semi-heavy armor. The last row are crossbowmen and archers wearing light armor and carrying double swords on their waists. They have no firearms, but it is the most obvious cold weapon battle formation.

“It feels very elite.”

Elena, who also followed out, said that the Amazon Lily had no tradition of using firearms, only cold weapons, so they were very familiar with this kind of cold weapon battle formation, especially the soldiers in front of them. Although she had never tested it, Elena had a feeling that if there were the same number of Amazon Lily warriors, or even multiples of them, they would not be a match for these soldiers in front of them, not to mention that these soldiers in front of them were not living people.

“Boom!”

As soon as Dai came out, these soldiers knelt on one knee in unison. Because their movements were so unified, it even felt like only one sound was made.

"It's exactly the same as the warrior I saw at that time."

Dai looked at the soldiers in front of her in surprise.

"Can you give them a try? Standing here is too much of a nuisance."

Kaido walked out and said while looking at these soldiers whose tallest only reached his thighs.

"Well... I'll try."

Dai looked at the soldiers in front of her and began to think about how to get them to stand up. The next moment, before Dai could say anything, all the soldiers stood up and stood on both sides, revealing a path.

"Hmm? You don't have to say it, just think about it, okay?"

Dai said in surprise, looking at the soldier in front of her.

"White Tiger is the god of the west, of the metal element, the god of killing, in charge of all the weapons in the world. These soldiers may be a manifestation of the one who controls all the weapons in the world. Dai, try to get them to leave temporarily."

Lily said to Dai after hesitating for a moment.

"Okay, disband!"

Dai nodded and shouted loudly. The next moment, all the soldiers knelt on one knee at the same time, and their bodies began to turn into the most ordinary metal and sank into the ground.

"I can feel that I can summon them again at any time. I don't need anything else. As long as there are enough metal elements around, I can summon them at any time."

Dai felt it and said.

"Okay, I understand. Dai, come in, I have an idea." Lily nodded, with interest in her eyes.
