Chapter 235 Emru VS Keith
After winning the first battle, Kaido, as the host, first used his Devil Fruit power to repair and perfect the damaged ice arena before returning to the rest area on the main island.
Back in the rest area, amidst the compliments and challenges from Roger and other powerful figures, Kaido noticed a gaze filled with murderous intent and hatred.
He turned his head and saw a man with a samurai sword at his waist and a gas mask on his face.
If I remember correctly, this guy is Karin's subordinate, and also the person Emru will face in the next match.
"Hmm, such intense killing intent and hatred must mean either his parents were killed, his wife was stolen, or his livelihood was cut off."
Kaido recalled his past conflicts with the Celestial Dragons.
The main point of contention was definitely during the God Valley period.
At that time, Kaido not only kidnapped Selene, but also used his Devil Fruit powers to eliminate many Celestial Dragons.
Therefore, excluding the highly improbable motive of cutting off someone's livelihood, the remaining possibilities, whether it's murder of one's parents or the hatred of stealing one's wife, are all plausible.
Thinking of this, Kaido immediately activated his system ability to assess Keith's attributes.

A general-level expert!
Even though he is considered relatively weak among the admirals, his Devil Fruit makes Kaido very concerned.
Paramecia-type Clone-Clone Fruit, its effect is to create clones that possess a portion of the user's own abilities.
And these clones are all real "humans"; they can get hurt and bleed.
As a trade-off, the clones can only last for a very limited time, usually only a few minutes.
This time can increase as the fruit is further developed, but the upper limit is generally within 10 minutes.
As for the specific uses of this fruit, there are two main types.
Firstly, to ensure the strength of the clones, only a small number of clones are separated. In this way, the clones can basically possess at least 50% of the original's strength. Then, as the fruit is further developed, this percentage can be increased to around 80%.
Secondly, one can simply increase the number of clones. Depending on the degree of fruit development, dozens to hundreds of clones can be created, and these clones are guaranteed to have at least 10% of the original's strength.
All of the above information was information that Kaido had seen in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia.
Thinking of this, Kaido immediately found Emru and told her about Keith's Devil Fruit ability.
Upon hearing this, Emru's expression instantly turned serious.
"As expected of a member of the Knights of God, the strength of his Devil Fruit alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
On the hosting stage.
Morgans began announcing that the second group of players would soon be entering the arena.
Emru removed the heaviness from his face and smiled sweetly at Kaido.
"Don't worry, I won't force myself. If I really can't win, I'll jump off the stage."
Kaido smiled when he saw this and patted her cute bunny head.
"Just do your best. There's no need to be overly obsessed with winning or losing. With Lingling and me here, the championship is ours."
After saying that, Kaido leaned close to Emru's rabbit ear and whispered a few words.
Emru's fair cheeks visibly flushed red.
She couldn't help but spit lightly, "You frivolous thing, why do you like all this fancy stuff so much?"
"Because it's exciting! You guys are excited, so am I."
Kaido looked at Emru with a wicked grin.
Emlu was too lazy to argue with this bad guy anymore; if she kept going, she probably wouldn't be able to get into the ring.
Snapped!
Raising his palm and gently patting his cheek to clear his mind, Emru walked resolutely toward the arena.
"Hello everyone around the world watching the World Martial Arts Tournament live!"
Morgans stood on the host's platform, delivering his presentation with measured intonation.
"The first match brought us an unparalleled and exciting showdown!"
"The shock of Captain Kaido's one-hit kill is still lingering..."
"But! Now is not the time to dwell on the last battle!"
"Because the second match of the World Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin!!"
"Next, let's welcome the second group of competitors!!"
"They are—"
"The third queen of the Land of Dragons, a high-ranking officer of the Beasts Pirates, and the third wife of Captain Kaido of the Beasts Pirates—Queen Emlu!!"
"And her opponent is—Rockefeller Keith, who calls himself the guardian of the knight's sword!!"
Amid Morgans' enthusiastic introduction, Emru and Keith appeared in the open passageways on either side of the ring, and the on-site photographers immediately began to capture them as the main subjects of their shots.
"You might not be familiar with the name Keith. What a coincidence, I'm not very familiar with him either!"
"but!"
"As everyone witnessed in the previous qualifiers, Keith is also a fighter with powerful Conqueror's Haki!!"
"Alright, without further ado, please enjoy the second match, the Martial Arts Tournament Battle!!"
On the icy arena.
Keith and Emlu have taken their positions.
The two looked at each other, neither wanting to say anything.
As the bell in the center of the island, signaling the start of the battle, rang, the two simultaneously began their attack.
Keith strode forward, gripping the long sword at his waist, and drew it instantly with a swift, powerful strike.
A circular slash instantly covered most of the icy arena.
Emru's actions were initiated simultaneously with his.
As Keith charged forward, she retreated to create distance.
Just as Keith was about to draw his sword, she lowered her body in a low, sloping motion.
A crescent-shaped slash swept across the top of her body.
Emru pressed his hands against the ice and activated his Devil Fruit power.
"Butter Swamp!!"
Translucent butter gushed from her hand, spreading rapidly across the entire icy arena like a flood, centered on the point of contact.
Seeing this, Keith, who had missed with his slash, did not retreat but instead gripped the sword with both hands and slashed down with all his might.
The slash that erupted from the tip of the blade instantly cleaved Emru in two, and the entire icy arena was also sliced open, creating a massive abyss.
The buttery waves that were originally spreading outwards began to flow in the opposite direction towards the bottom of the abyss after this abyss appeared.
Emru's body appeared at the edge of the torrent of butter.
She had used her pre-elemental transformation to successfully dodge Keith's slash, but her tactic of covering the entire arena with butter had failed as a result.
