Zi la la!
The black and red Conqueror's Haki turned bluish-black under the influence of the Azure Dragon's power.
A domineering aura enveloped his right fist, and streaks of dark blue lightning stretched through the air.
"Dragon Fist!!"
Kaido let out a low growl.
The 7.1-meter-tall dragon-man rapidly grew to the same size as the golden Buddha.
"break out!!"
Dark blue-black Conqueror's Haki coalesced into a dragon head shape on Kaido's right fist, which he then slammed down with a heavy punch.
The golden Buddha's palm from the Warring States period was also wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, and the golden-red Buddha's palm struck towards the sky.
Fist and palm collide high in the air.
The two extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki accumulated, compressed, and rubbed against each other at the point of collision.
After reaching a certain critical point, a loud bang was heard.
The terrifying two-colored lightning suddenly exploded from the point of impact.
In the sky, the clouds that had gathered automatically when Kaido transformed into the Azure Dragon instantly collapsed, and the entire sky became unprecedentedly blue and pure.
On the high seas, the surface of the sea was pressed into a huge dent by the aftershocks of the explosion.
The naval warship was stuck at the edge of the depression, and could slip into it at any moment.
The marines on board kept shouting and trying to steer the ship away from the battlefield.
But the lightning that fell from the sky attacked everyone indiscriminately.
Dragon, who hadn't yet left the navy, looked at Sengoku's adjutant with a face full of terror.
A powerful naval vice admiral, who was also the highest-ranking officer on the ship after Sengoku's departure, was struck by a dark blue-green lightning bolt and immediately fell unconscious.
His eyes rolled back and he foamed at the mouth, just like an ordinary person who had been intimidated by Conqueror's Haki.
"Such terrifying domineering aura..."
Dragon stared blankly at the sky, a ferocious smile appearing on Kaido's enormous face.
"A draw! The Warring States period!!"
"No, in terms of sheer domineering presence, I win!!"
The golden Buddha stood on the moon, its feet briefly hovering in the air.
Sengoku completely ignored Kaido's taunts.
The Buddha Fruit granted him a hexagonal panel in addition to intelligence, so he has never been afraid of opponents who are superior to him in any single aspect.
"You know the so-called 'bucket theory,' right? True strength lies in having a strong weakness!!"
Even as he spoke, Sengoku didn't forget the actions he was taking.
He clapped his hands together forcefully in front of him.
Duang!!
A sound like a resounding bell echoed in the sky, and a terrifying shockwave was released from the body of the Warring States.
The fiery cloud beneath Kaido's feet was forcibly shattered, and he himself was forcibly blown away.
The shockwave slowly expanded, forcefully pushing the warship, which had almost slipped into the deep pit, outwards.
The warship's hull was cracked from the impact, but with the help of Dragon's abilities, the sails, which had successfully turned the bow, were swollen to their limit.
The entire warship sped off into the distance like an arrow released from a bow.
Kaido was blown away by Sengoku's map-wide attack, but he was not injured at all. He even took the opportunity to pull out a three-pointed double-edged sword from his backpack.
"Since I forged you, you haven't had a worthy opponent to fight. Today, I'll let you drink your fill of the blood of a strongman!!"
Chant!
The three-pointed double-edged sword hummed slightly in the shockwave released by Sengoku, as if responding to Kaido's words.
Boom! !
His right foot, transformed into a dragon claw, stomped heavily on the air behind him.
The atmosphere exploded instantly, creating a ring of air hundreds of meters in diameter, and Kaido himself shot out like a shooting star.
"Let me show you! Sengoku!! My swordsmanship, which I've practiced diligently for so long!!"
Pure white lightning burst forth from the dragon scales, mingling with the dark blue-black Conqueror's Haki, all wrapping around the gleaming silver blade of the three-pointed double-edged sword.
"Thunderous Crescent Slash!!"
Under Kaido's influence, the large sword also became sized to match his body.
With a burst of strength from both arms, he cleaved down with the blade.
Sengoku's left fist, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, clashed with Kaido's greatsword from a distance.
Boom!!
A blinding white lightning bolt tore through the sky, and Sengoku plummeted into the sea like a meteor.
At the same time, a thin line of blood appeared in the sky, and a clear slash mark appeared on the left fist of the golden Buddha.
"Oh no! There's seawater below!"
The golden Buddha's body rapidly shrank as it flew backwards.
Sengoku twisted his body in mid-air and slapped both hands down at the same time.
Two invisible hands appeared on the sea surface, and the force of the recoil helped Sengoku stabilize his falling body.
Then, he used his moonwalk to move quickly across the sea, reaching the island's shore in just two or three seconds.
Kaido watched the whole process from the sidelines.
It wasn't that he lacked the time and opportunity to act, but defeating the Warring States by drowning would make the victory seem too meaningless.
What Kaido wants is the battle experience of defeating a Marine Admiral fair and square, not a victory with inflated prestige.
After Sengoku used Moonwalk to quickly rush ashore, Kaido flapped his wings and quickly chased after him.
The three-pointed, double-edged sword spun like a wheel in his hand.
After spinning and gathering momentum, he slashed down with great force.
"The Third Generation Appears - Naraku is Drawn!!"
The bluish-black slash seemed to tear the island apart, the massive blade hacking towards the shrunken Sengoku.
Sengoku didn't have time to activate his Devil Fruit transformation, so he crossed his arms and used Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki simultaneously for defense.
boom!!
The broadsword collided with the arm in mid-air, and the ground beneath Sengoku's feet instantly cracked.
Within a radius of one kilometer, it sank by a full meter in an instant.
Splash...
The surging sea roared, seemingly seizing this opportunity to rush in and engulf the Warring States period.
Sengoku roared, his whole body shimmering with golden light, and he transformed into a golden Buddha once more.
With his indestructible body, he allowed the blade to embed itself into his arm muscles, then used his muscles to clamp the blade shut, allowing Sengoku to swing his right fist.
The weapon, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, slammed into Kaido's left cheek, causing it to cave in.
But... he wasn't knocked away!
Kaido stared intently at Sengoku with his dragon eyes, his teeth clenched, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It hurts so much, Sengoku!!"
"You brat! Stop lying! I'm the one who's really in pain!!"
Sengoku unleashed a second burst of power with his right fist, finally sending Kaido flying sideways.
However, Kaido only rolled a few times, his dragon claws shattering the ground, and charged forward again at high speed.
The three-pointed, double-edged sword was swung horizontally in a slashing motion.
"Thunder Strike!!"
The dark blue blade, shrouded in domineering aura, missed its target. The crescent-shaped dark blue slash swept across the earth, splitting a distant mountain peak in two.
The golden Buddha that was just in front of them suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was on top of Kaido's head.
"Shockwave!!"
A giant golden Buddha palm gathered a white shockwave and slapped Kaido on the forehead.
The terrifying internal destructive force impacted Kaido's brain, leaving him completely stunned.
The Warring States period seized the opportunity to unleash a shockwave.
The white impact energy quickly transformed into gold, then caused a massive explosion on Kaido's head.
Kaido staggered back a few steps, feeling slightly dizzy.
Sengoku continued his attack, landing a punch that struck Kaido in the heart.
The massive Buddha fist dented Kaido's chest, sending him flying backward and crashing into a mountain, shattering the entire mountain.
What was that just now?
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Kaido slowly stood up as if nothing had happened.
The punch that Sengoku delivered to his heart was, of course, imbued with Conqueror's Haki and involved internal destruction.
However, Kaido, whose internal organs had been systematically strengthened and who had also undergone rigorous training, did not suffer any major injuries except for feeling some pain.
"Is this Observation Haki that allows you to foresee the future?"
Kaido had some suspicions.
However, considering that the trajectory of his slash was not difficult to discern, Kaido still hadn't made a decision.
"Let's give it a try!!"
The dragon claw stepped on the pebbles on the ground, and its calf muscles suddenly exerted force.
The mountain, which had just been smashed down to its foundation, trembled again, and Kaido charged swiftly toward Sengoku, who had already escaped the water pit.
"Kundali Longsheng Army!!"
He gripped the three-pointed, double-edged sword tightly in both hands, like Luffy's rubber machine gun, and launched a series of high-frequency thrusting attacks.
Sengoku's enormous golden Buddha palm, amidst Kaido's attacks so fast that only afterimages could be seen, almost always struck the side of the blade with pinpoint accuracy, causing Kaido's thrusts to miss their mark.
"Hmm! It really is Observation Haki that can foresee the future!"
Kaido's Observation Haki, while not yet at that level, is not far off.
Therefore, he could clearly see that every time he thrust forward, Sengoku's palm was already waiting in the corresponding position.
Once Kaido's blade is in place, he only needs to gently tap to the side to redirect Kaido's thrust in another direction.
"Kaido, you brat! You have a long way to go before you can defeat me!!"
With another slap, Sengoku deflected Kaido's thrust, then swung his massive, black-striped Buddha fist, striking Kaido squarely in the head.
The black and red lightning exploded, sending Kaido flying once again.
Kaido, flying backward, crashed into the ruins once again.
But in less than a second, he waved his hand, releasing a gust of wind to disperse all the smoke and dust.
"Unscathed again?"
The thick eyebrows of the Warring States period were slightly raised.
Kaido's defensive strength was somewhat beyond his expectations. He had clearly used all his strength, but Kaido still acted as if nothing had happened.
"Are the Azure Dragon's scales really that exaggerated?"
Sengoku thought to himself, "I am also a Great Buddha! The Vajra body of a Great Buddha should be at the same level of defense as dragon scales, right?"
However, he looked down at the slash mark on his left fist.
The wound has healed thanks to the life-saving intervention, but the bloodstains from before are still there.
"I've been broken, but Kaido hasn't..."
Sengoku looked up at the three-pointed double-edged sword in Kaido's hand.
"Could it be the difference between a slash and a punch?"
