Reincarnated as Kaido, married Big Mom, and formed a dual-Emperor pirate crew.

Chapter 178 A More Perfect Rocks Than Rocks

The powerful defensive and self-healing abilities of the Azure Dragon Fruit grant Kaido the ability to become stronger the more he is injured, as long as he doesn't die.

It was Korin who unintentionally helped Kaido elevate his physique to the Emperor level.

We are now in the Warring States period.

When his attack failed to kill Kaido instantly, Kaido knew that he had once again found the right experience point.

"Ugh, the awakening of the fruit can't be maintained for long, right? Is it really okay for you to keep wasting time like this?"

Sengoku nodded slightly, his hands clasped together. "What you said does make sense."

Then, in the next instant, he appeared in front of Kaido and delivered a straight punch, striking Kaido squarely in the stomach.

The powerful impact, much like Nika's awakening effect, almost pierced through Kaido's stomach. The fist imprint pressed deeply into Kaido's stomach, intestines, and back bones and flesh, bulging out from his back.

Then, Kaido transformed into a shooting star and flew backward.

Only now did the shockwave from that punch begin to appear.

Boom!!

The palace, which was already half-collapsed, collapsed completely. Kaido flew from the center of the island to the other side until he crashed into a rocky mountain, creating a large hole in it before finally stopping.

After landing, Kaido rolled over, clutching his abdomen and wincing in pain.

"It really hurts!"

"but……"

After Kaido caught his breath and the pain subsided, a system notification appeared before his eyes.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host! Your physique has increased to 136!]

"Whoosh whoosh! Getting punched twice directly boosted my power a bit, how wonderful is that!!"

Kaido straightened up and stretched his shoulders, his bones cracking like popping beans.

"Come on, Sengoku! It's almost time for me to fight back!!"

Two hundred million volts of lightning erupted once again from Kaido's dragon scales, his pure white lightning suit enveloping his entire body.

Kaido sidestepped a golden beam of light that shot towards him from afar.

A gold and red fist slammed into the ground.

Even though we haven't touched it yet, the cracks in the earth have already spread out.

In that instant, time seemed to slow down dramatically.

The Warring States period's eyes turned to the right and slowly moved upwards.

Kaido wore a ferocious smile, his eyes flashing with excitement and madness.

"That's what makes a battle truly enjoyable!!"

With both hands gripping his three-pointed, double-edged sword, Kaido brought it down with a powerful slash.

Boom! Boom!

Two muffled thuds followed, first the ground crumbled on a large scale, then Sengoku was cleaved in the back by a large sword.

The golden Sengoku was pressed into the crater he had created by the greatsword, triggering a secondary impact.

Within a radius of one kilometer, the entire land completely collapsed, revealing a giant crater hundreds of meters deep.

The Warring States period was like a shooting star, falling to the bottom of a deep pit.

But he didn't even have time to catch his breath before Kaido's stab came crashing down from the sky.

Zhan Guo dodged the stab with a lazy roll, but the blade that pierced the ground instantly released nine wind blades, cutting the bottom of the pit into nine deep cracks.

Sengoku was struck by a wind blade, but his golden body remained unharmed.

He sprang to his feet and delivered an uppercut that struck Kaido squarely in the chin.

Kaido clenched his teeth, causing his gums to bleed slightly, and his entire body tilted backward uncontrollably.

The shockwave that covered the entire pit shot up with Sengoku's punch, forcefully pushing back the large amount of seawater that was about to roar down from the top of the pit.

Kaido, leaning back, twisted his body and delivered a powerful kick to Sengoku's side.

Sengoku bent his arm to block, but Kaido's wing swept across again.

With a swift movement of his right hand, he grabbed the dragon's wing, which was as sharp as a blade, from a distance.

But Kaido still has a tail.

His body continued to spin, and his thick dragon tail smashed down on Sengoku's forehead with the force of Mount Tai.

"what!!"

Sengoku assumed the stance of Fudo Myoo, standing firmly in a horse stance, and took Kaido's powerful dragon tail swing head-on with his iron head.

Duang!!

It was as if a giant bell had been struck, but Kaido's tail was instead shaken and felt a sharp pain.

Sengoku seized the opportunity to grab Kaido's dragon tail and slammed him into the ground.

Kaido was stuck deep in the pit, and Sengoku leaped out of the pit several times over several months.

Whoosh!

The seawater that had been thrown out by the shockwave came rushing in again.

Tons of seawater poured rapidly down to the bottom of the pit.

Kaido got up, trying to fly up, but was knocked down by a punch from Sengoku who was on top of him.

"The battle is over, Kaido. From now on, you'd better stay obediently in Impel Down!"

Looking down at Kaido, whose body was gradually sinking into the sea, Sengoku's fiery cloud behind his head gradually dissipated, and the golden light on his body also began to gradually recede.

Boom!

A massive amount of seawater surged into the deep pit in an instant, filling it completely while also creating a thunderous sound.

As the Warring States period returned to normal, they landed on the shore, their faces showing signs of exhaustion.

"Devil Fruit users are rejected by the sea. Even if you have the Fish-Fish Fruit, Kaido, you still can't swim in the sea."

Sengoku, with his hands clasped together, exhaled a soft breath.

"Next, we just need to wait for Zephyr and Garp to arrive so they can retrieve Kaido. Hopefully, what they'll pull out isn't just a corpse."

however……

No sooner had Zhan Guo finished speaking than the surging seawater rapidly and with a crackling sound, it turned into solid, azure ice.

boom!

The ice shattered, and a blue dragon-man emerged from it, his dragon eyes instantly locking onto Sengoku on the shore.

"Declaring victory so quickly? Sengoku, have you forgotten I also have the ice attribute?!"

The Warring States period, looking up at the sky, was slightly taken aback.

"No! I clearly saw you being swallowed by the sea before you even activated your ice-attribute abilities!"

Kaido grinned, which was, of course, because he himself was not afraid of Seastone!

However, he had no interest in revealing the secret to Sengoku.

"The battle continues! Sengoku! Show your awakened strength once more!!"

Kaido stood high above, pointing his three-pointed, double-edged sword at Sengoku.

He didn't want to defeat a Warring States period that hadn't yet awakened its power; that would be too boring!

"Never mind, since you didn't sink into the sea and lose your strength, I'll beat you until you're completely unable to fight!"

Golden Buddha light reappeared.

The Warring States period first swelled up and transformed into the appearance of a golden Buddha.

Then it shrinks rapidly, as if compressing all the transformation energy back into its body.

The golden Buddha that illuminated heaven and earth transformed into a humanoid Buddha whose entire body radiated a faint golden light, while golden flames swirled behind his head.

"Zoan Type, Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Great Buddha Form, Awakening Mode!"

"I am Buddha! Buddha is me!!"

Sengoku was muttering something when Kaido appeared in front of him in an instant.

A ferocious smile appeared on his face, which was covered in sharp teeth, and he swung a three-pointed double-edged sword wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, creating countless afterimages.

However, Sengoku the Golden Man was like a piece of paper, drifting around amidst Kaido's supersonic attacks, yet he could never be hit head-on.

"Another prediction of the future!"

Kaido knew what was going on. Once Sengoku's physical abilities were compensated for through awakening, Kaido's speed could no longer break through Sengoku's premonition.

"To defeat the Warring States period in this state, I must also master the ability to foresee the future!"

Kaido, who had launched an attack like a raging storm, suddenly stopped.

With a flick of his wrist, he stored the three-pointed double-edged sword into his system inventory.

Then Kaido spread his arms wide, making no attempt to defend himself.

"Come on! Sengoku! Attack me all you want! Let's see if I can dodge it!!"

Sengoku was initially taken aback by Kaido's strange behavior, but he quickly figured out what Kaido was thinking.

"You want to learn to foresee the future through combat like this? Aren't you afraid I'll take the opportunity to kill you?"

"Kill me? Go ahead and try if you can!"

Kaido glanced at his physique, which had reached 136 points, and showed no sign of panic.

Sengoku's expression darkened; he was displeased by Kaido's arrogance.

He felt looked down upon.

"You really think your defense is invincible?!"

The solemn and dignified face of the Warring States period instantly turned ferocious and furious.

He simultaneously wrapped his fists with Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, plus the shockwave from his Devil Fruit, achieving a triple wrapping effect.

The Bodhisattva lowers his brows, unaware of sentient beings; the Vajra glares fiercely, only killing and not saving!

A fist radiating a dazzling golden-red light struck Kaido directly in the chest.

Kaido, who was being attacked, seemed to try to dodge the punch by twisting his body, but failed.

Even though Kaido's agility stat is slightly higher than Sengoku's after activating the Thunder Suit, the difference is not significant.

Therefore, Kaido was sent flying backward once again after being hit by this punch.

However, this time Sengoku did not let Kaido fly around aimlessly. Instead, he caught up with Kaido at an even faster speed and kicked him into the air.

Kaido still tried to predict Sengoku's actions, but he couldn't see them at all.

Boom boom boom boom...

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Previously, the golden Buddha statue was being slapped around like a ball by the blue dragon people.

Now, the blue dragonman is being tossed around like a ball by the little golden man.

Despite the pain of letting his body fly around in the sky, Kaido could vaguely sense that he was getting very close to mastering Observation Haki, which allows him to foresee the future.

Finally, in a certain moment, he seemed to see the Warring States period in another direction.

"Predicting the future?"

"Foresee the future!!"

Although the scene was fleeting, Kaido knew that he had already reached the level of being able to foresee the future, but he just hadn't developed that ability yet.

He was brutally beaten for several minutes straight.

The second foreshadowing of the future finally appeared again.

Kaido seized the moment, and then...

The visions of the future began to become consistent and stable.

He can reliably predict the future five seconds from now.

Furthermore, as one second passes in the real world, the five seconds he foresaw also advance one second.

boom! !

Sengoku's golden-red fist suddenly collided with Kaido's casual kick from a distance.

Rumble!

The violent, Conqueror-colored lightning streaked everywhere, cracking the earth, blasting buildings, and indiscriminately destroying the surrounding environment.

Kaido's dragon eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, and his pupils flashed red light.

"I see it, the future that belongs to you, Sengoku!"

"Really? Did you see it?"

Sengoku's expression remained expressionless, then in the next instant, the future scene that Kaido had seen abruptly ended.

"What's this?!"

Kaido was instinctively taken aback, almost thinking that his control was unstable, sometimes working and sometimes not.

However, when he focuses his perception on the surrounding environment, he can clearly see the changes in the environment within the next 5 seconds.

However, during those 5 seconds, Sengoku was nowhere to be seen.

Kaido's face instantly darkened.

"Is this the legendary 'seeing and hearing kill'?"

The principle behind Observation Haki is to control one's own aura, preventing the opponent from using Observation Haki to foresee the future.

In game terms, it's somewhat similar to the assassin's ability to conceal one's presence. Unless you can see it with the naked eye, even if someone is standing behind you, you'll just think it's a cloud of air.

"This is all thanks to you, Kaido!!"

Sengoku replied with a cold laugh, "If you hadn't been so arrogant as to try and use me to gain the ability to foresee the future, I wouldn't have been able to acquire the ability to use clairvoyance in the process!"

Kaido, his face grim, fell silent for a moment.

Is the so-called "Teacher Kai buff" about to appear on him?

No! It can't be something like this, some kind of mystical stuff!

"To put it bluntly, you're just angry, right?!"

Kaido sneered maliciously, "Because I was furious that I used you as a sparring partner, but you just couldn't kill me! In your extreme anger, you fortuitously mastered the 'Observation Kill' technique!!"

Sengoku retorted with a cold laugh, "So what if that's the case! You've mastered it, and that's that! Your newly acquired ability to foresee the future is useless against me!!"

The powerful energy from the point of impact exploded, and Kaido and Sengoku were both forced to retreat a distance.

Then, both of them simultaneously stepped into the air, creating several explosive air rings behind them, which collided instantly.

Kaido's three-pointed double-edged sword slashed through the air above Sengoku's head, and Sengoku's fist once again successfully struck Kaido in the abdomen.

Kaido was once again sent flying far away, crashing into the sea and causing the sea level to dent for thousands of meters around.

Taking advantage of the situation, Kaido touched the seawater and activated the Ice Age, completely freezing the dented seawater and the wider ocean.

Then, a massive amount of life energy was extracted from a frozen sea king and poured into Kaido's body.

In the blink of an eye, the injuries he had sustained from being repeatedly beaten by Sengoku were quickly healed.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, your physique has been upgraded to 137!]

After recovering to full health, the damage reduction effect of the Azure Dragon Fruit was triggered once again.

"Uro-ro-ro-ro!"

"So what if predicting the future is ineffective! Can you kill me?!"

Kaido laughed loudly, brandishing his greatsword to block Sengoku's charge.

boom!!

The icy sea shattered, and the sea kings, whose life force had just been drained, were pulverized into pieces before they could even utter a cry of pain.

Sengoku frowned slightly, looking at Kaido's new state where all his wounds had disappeared as if he had been refreshed, and asked in confusion, "You also have the ability to heal by drawing blood?!"

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!" Kaido deliberately avoided giving the correct answer, "Isn't this just the Life Return you also know?!"
