Chapter 177 Kaido VS Garp
After Kaido waved away the smoke and dust, he looked at Sengoku, who seemed to be deep in thought.
"The best way to deal with Observation Haki that allows one to foresee the future is to counter it with a speed that it cannot even react to."
"Even if Observation Haki can predict the future, the body simply cannot keep up with the information perceived by Observation Haki..."
The best example is Kizaru.
His theoretical speed limit is the speed of light, but in reality, apart from the point-to-point teleportation achieved using the Yata Mirror, Kizaru's speed is still at a level that can be achieved through training.
Thinking of this, Kaido immediately came up with a plan.
Blazing white lightning began to bloom on his body, and it was no longer just an ordinary bloom, but rather it wrapped around his entire body.
Kaido's entire blue dragon-man body was quickly enveloped in blazing white lightning.
To the naked eye, it looked as if Kaido was wearing a cloak made of lightning.
"Thunder Suit! 2 Million Volts!!"
System interface agility attribute: 120→125→131.
Zi la la!
Sharp, crackling sounds of lightning scraping against each other echoed continuously across Kaido's body.
Feeling a slight tingling sensation throughout his body, Kaido felt as if the whole world had slowed down.
call out!
With a flash of lightning, Kaido instantly appeared in front of Sengoku.
Sengoku, who constantly uses his Observation Haki to foresee the future, actually noticed Kaido's actions.
But just as he was about to make a move, Kaido was already in front of him.
The three-pointed double-edged sword was specially modified from a slashing motion to a horizontal strike.
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"
A terrifying thunderclap tore through the air, and the golden Buddha was sent flying like a baseball.
Another flash of lightning.
Kaido teleported behind the golden Buddha and slammed his sword down again.
The golden Buddha changed direction and flew in a zigzag pattern into the sky.
Then, Kaido used his third Flash, appearing behind the golden Buddha again.
Boom boom boom...
The golden Buddha's round body was like a ball, flying back and forth in the sky. In terms of speed, it was completely overwhelmed by Kaido.
"Damn it! How could it be so fast!"
He cursed angrily.
He could predict Kaido's every move, but his body couldn't keep up with his actions each time.
After being humiliated by Kaido's dozens of slaps, Kaido made a final appearance directly above Sengoku.
He gripped the three-pointed, double-edged sword tightly with both hands, and the lightning flashing from his entire body reached its utmost intensity.
"Thunderous Crescent Slash!!"
Lightning crackled all over his body, along with dark blue-black lightning, coiling around the blade to form a black and white lightning vortex.
With a powerful slash, a half-black, half-white crescent moon forcefully pressed the golden Buddha down into the earth.
Boom!!
The island's tectonic plates shattered, causing a kilometer-wide area to collapse, and the golden Buddha was embedded directly into the bottom of the deep pit.
A slash mark running from his left shoulder to his right abdomen was clearly visible on his body.
Blood, tinged with golden-red by the golden light of Buddha, seeped from the wound, and Sengoku's face was filled with pain.
Splash...
The sound of the sea roaring could be heard.
As the island's tectonic plates collapsed, the seawater, which had been thrown apart by the shockwave, began to surge towards the deep pit.
"Wow!"
Sengoku spat out another mouthful of blood and slammed his palm into the ground.
The golden Buddha body was propelled out of the deep pit by the recoil, and then with a few backward jumps, it quickly retreated to the edge of the pit that was about to be submerged.
Only after escaping danger did the golden Buddha have time to observe the blue dragon-man in the sky.
The lightning on Kaido's body had completely disappeared.
Furthermore, the dragon scales all over his body had an abnormal bluish-purple hue.
In addition, Kaido's chest was heaving violently, and his whole body seemed to be filled with dry ice, emitting white smoke.
It was clearly visible to the naked eye that Kaido had entered a state called overload.
"That move really can't be used for long!"
Sengoku, who almost thought he was really going to lose, was certain of his fate.
As long as Kaido can't maintain that extreme speed for long, he still has a chance of winning.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Sengoku was already preparing for the second round of battle.
However, Kaido showed no worry whatsoever; instead, he revealed a sinister smile.
"Although my cells can no longer withstand high-intensity lightning for a short time, don't forget, I have a total of seven elemental abilities!!"
The blue dragon-man let his body fall freely.
The seawater parted automatically to the sides after it touched his feet.
The deep pit, which had just been submerged by seawater, has been revealed once again.
Kaido stomped his feet on the ground and clapped his hands together.
"Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands - Top Transformed Buddha!!"
There's no need to upgrade the wooden dolls and dragons little by little like in the Warring States period; just unleash the ultimate wood-type move.
A colossal Buddha statue, standing a kilometer tall, rose from the ground.
Behind the face devoid of sorrow or joy are a thousand wooden Buddha hands arranged in a dense array.
Zi la la!
A bluish-purple dragon-man stood atop the Buddha statue, his jet-black Armament Haki and bluish-black Conqueror's Haki spreading out from beneath his feet.
From the top of the Buddha statue's head, the energy quickly spreads to all the Buddha's palms behind it.
"Hey, Sengoku, as a great Buddha, you've never been taught by the Buddha, have you?!"
The Warring States period was marked by a solemn expression, with a knowing look in his eyes.
Sengoku, having witnessed Kaido's move firsthand, was not so easily forgotten.
"Come on! Even if it's a thousand Buddha palms! I'll take them all for you!!"
The golden Buddha stood in a horse stance, its fists wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, with black and red lightning flashing on its fists.
"Ura ra ra! Come and fight!!"
Under Kaido's control, the wooden Buddha's thousand hands clenched into fists and crashed towards Sengoku like waves.
"Ora! Ora ora ora ora..."
The golden Buddha waved its fists, creating a trail of golden afterimages.
Countless wooden Buddha fists were smashed to pieces in front of the golden Buddha fist.
But the Warring States period only had two hands, and no matter how fast they swung, it was difficult to withstand the simultaneous attack of a thousand fists.
Soon, the golden Buddha was completely engulfed by the fist of the wooden Buddha.
The steam gradually dissipated from his body, and the bluish-purple dragon scales gradually returned to their normal color.
Kaido not only has a strong physical defense, but also a strong recovery ability. He can activate his lightning mode again in just a few seconds.
Just as Kaido was bombarding Sengoku with his wooden Buddha fist, a loud bell suddenly rang out.
Duang!!
The melodious chimes seemed to come from the ancient wilderness, and a golden barrier rapidly expanded and swelled at the center of the billowing smoke and dust.
Boom boom boom...
The remaining hundreds of Buddha fists, as they were being swung, came into contact with the ever-expanding golden barrier, and after less than two seconds, they all exploded.
Standing atop the Buddha statue, Kaido was momentarily stunned upon witnessing this scene.
Then the golden barrier expanded to the giant Buddha beneath his feet.
The Buddha's body, which was not protected by Armament Haki, would crumble at the slightest touch.
Kaido leaped into the air, landing on a cloud of flames, cautiously observing the area below while mentally shouting, "System! Identify Sengoku's current attributes!"

All of Sengoku's combat-related attributes were forcibly increased to their maximum level, totaling 130!
Upon seeing this terrifying panel, Kaido was momentarily stunned.
"That Sengoku guy... he really did develop the fruit to the point of awakening..."
Duang!
The bell rang once more, and the smoke and dust below gradually dissipated, revealing the image of the Warring States period.
The golden Buddha has disappeared, replaced by a Warring States period figure that has returned to its normal size.
However, at this moment, the Warring States period had completely turned into a little golden statue.
At the same time, a ring of golden flames swirled behind his head.
His already dignified and upright face became even more solemn and majestic.
"Kaido, the fact that you forced me to use my Devil Fruit Awakening means your strength is indeed not to be underestimated."
When Zhan Guo spoke, his voice had a resounding, booming quality.
Kaido shrunk his size, returning to his normal height of 7.1 meters.
He slowly descended from the sky, looking at the solemn and dignified Warring States period before him, his eyes filled with solemnity, and of course, curiosity.
"What are the effects of your fruit awakening?"
Do you think I would leak information to you?
When Kaido asked the question, Sengoku was still standing in the same spot. By the time Sengoku answered, he was only a few dozen centimeters away from Kaido.
boom!!
Several air rings burst forth from the atmosphere, and Kaido's figure vanished instantly.
In the Warring States period, he merely unleashed a Buddha's palm strike.
Rumble!!
The royal palace at the very center of the island collapsed violently, and Kaido was embedded in the wall deep inside the palace, grinning from ear to ear.
"This guy... has all his attributes increased, and the shockwave is now directly wrapped around his body, no longer showing outwards..."
"It feels somewhat similar to Tsunade's Super Strength Fist, but I don't know if the shockwave only covers the fist or the whole body."
"Pooh!"
Kaido, who had shattered the wall behind him, spat out a mouthful of blood.
With a constitution of 135 points, he wouldn't be seriously injured by a single blow from Sengoku.
However, the attacks from the Warring States period, which perfectly combined power and skill, did indeed have the potential to render him unable to recover.
"Kaido? He's still not seriously injured?"
Sengoku appeared at the entrance to the large hole that Kaido had created, and he looked at Kaido with a slight frown.
"Your defenses are even stronger than I expected."
"Oh, that's because I have a great brother-in-law!!"
The image of Karin flashed through Kaido's mind.
If it weren't for Garin pushing his physical stats to extremely high levels back then, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand Sengoku's attack just now.
