Moria Swelled up, the air bent around him like heat haze. By the time the shadows finished pouring in Moria Stood like an Ancient Giant towering over the Battlefield.
His Conquerors Haki Flared Outwards, mixed with his now over 50 meter tall Height it caused Several Members of the Beast Pirates to stumble back. A few dropped unconscious to the Ground without even knowing why.
I was Flabbergasted 'Holy Shit, Moria was actually that strong?! Wasn't his Limit 1000 Shadows in his Fight vs Luffy.'
Dad tipped his head back and grinned like a wolf that had just found a new toy. "Finally."
Moria's foot came down and the Ground exploded into splinters and ice. Kaido however was nowhere underneath.
Kaido jumped up and Swung his Kanabo "Thunder Bagua".
Moria's Eyes flickered with Warning as his Intuition told him 'DODGE!!!'
Moria did exactly that dodging just barely, but not before throwing a punch upwards at Kaido who was now stuck in the Air.
He swung and his attack hit Kaido straight in his face as a Huge Shockwave expanded outwards as Kaido was Send Flying towards the ground with a Thud and then a Boom.
Kaido Slid across the ground like a Ragdoll, tumbling in a daze before he could plant his boots properly into the ground stopping after nearly a dozen meters.
Several Drops of Blood Dripped from Kaido's Nose.
He wiped his Nose with his hand before stopping and looking at the red substance on his Fingers and stopped laughing. "Alright now the Fun Begins." As he Took a Large Gulp of his Booze.
I, who had never seen Kaido Bleed or get injured in this life and developing some genuine affection grew a bit uneasy despite knowing with king by my side that I was safe and knowledge from canon, that Dad would not lose.
Really People in this world are simple incomparable to normal humans in my previous life. The Sheer Destruction in the Clash between Dad and Moria gave me chills.
"Alber," I said, because my heart wouldn't slow down and my fingers had gone numb. "He's… strong."
"YOU KILL MY CREW AND CALL IT FUN?!" Moria screamed out loudly.
After another clash, Kaido managed to get a hit in as Moria staggered, yelled, and crashed on the Ground nearly a Hundred meters away, landing on three Beast Pirates members and turning them into red stains in the snow.
Dad stepped into the next swing and beat Moria with it relentlessly causing him to scream out in Pain before getting swatted away by Moria.
Moria Stood back up Warily before looking onto Kaido as He swung his Hands both Downwards towards Kaido's Position. "Die you stupid Bastard!"
Kaido decided to use armament haki and swung his Kanabo upwards Meeting Moria's Fists in the Air.
The Ground Below Kaido gave out causing him to be sent dozens of meters into the Ground as Moria's Fist Smashed into the Ground.
Giant Fissures formed outwards from the impact reaching even to where King and I were standing. Which was several Kilometers away.
Moria Exhaled a Long Breath before getting Ready again as Kaido flew out from the Ground just below Moria.
Kaido used Moria's own Weight and grabbed His Foot lifting it up and brought the giant Moria down to one knee, the ground practically screaming under it. Then jumped-up reared back and headbutted him like an ox with his Horns.
The sound was like a bell cracking.
Moria Howled out, Staggering Back as he grabbed his Head with both of his Hands in Pain. He swung blind and desperate and by sheer luck connected slamming Kaido away.
In this short moment of peace, he forced the shadows back into himself with a roar He swung, and swung, and kept swinging.
Every time Kaido drove his fist into Moria, more shadows shook loose. Every time Moria roared them back in, he got sloppier. Anger had turned into grief and was curdling into despair.
Moria's eyes cut sideways. Just for a second. To a cluster of his crew huddled behind a toppled gate, bleeding and shaking, still baring their teeth at us like dogs who didn't know they were broken.
However, with his will firm and his enemy right before him Moria's Haki kept getting stronger and stronger in their Fight.
