"I remember Kaido also has the title 'World's Strongest Creature.' The 'immortal body' probably refers to his terrifying recovery ability," Robin said to the others, remembering Kaido's title.
"So, you're saying that the earth-shattering battle just now was just a warm-up for them?!" Carmen asked in disbelief. This completely overturned her understanding of what it meant to be strong.
Robin picked up where Carmen left off, speaking seriously: "Although I don't want to admit it, it's the truth. Their strength is already beyond our imagination."
Yamato, at the side, paid no attention to the discussion. Her eyes were fixed on Kaido, and her fingers unconsciously tightened around her kanabo. Kaido's true terror was only now being revealed.
At this moment, Kuina, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke.
"Don't worry! Leno won't lose."
Her calm and firm voice seemed to have a strange magic, instantly soothing everyone's chaotic thoughts. They then quietly watched the distant battlefield.
"Boy, let me see if you really have the strength to take Yamato from me!"
Electric arcs flickered on the kanabo in his hand as Kaido's aura continued to rise. Conqueror's Haki shot into the sky, and black and red electric arcs exploded, beginning to rage around him.
"Then, as you wish!"
With that, Leno's figure suddenly grew taller, transforming into his purple-scaled Dragon Man form. He also released his Conqueror's Haki. The two waves of Haki, turbulent and fierce, slammed into each other. Instantly, black-purple and black-red electric arcs flew everywhere, making the air tremble.
Suddenly, Leno's dragon eyes widened. The impact of his Conqueror's Haki intensified, and a piercing shriek rang out. Kaido's Conqueror's Haki was actually forced back to right in front of him.
Kaido's face turned ugly. 'How can his Haki be heavier than mine? At his age?' Moreover, there was something wrong with this Haki. The terrifying killing intent it contained could actually affect him. Unwilling to accept it, Kaido increased the output of his Conqueror's Haki, but he still couldn't break through the suppression. 'BOOM' With an explosion, the two waves of Haki blew apart and dissipated into the air.
"Kid, not a bad spirit. I acknowledge you. You have the right to stand before me."
"Yours is just so-so."
Hearing Leno's words, Kaido's face turned ashen, and he laughed in anger.
"Wororororo..."
"You're too arrogant, kid! Today, I'll let you see the terror of an old-school powerhouse."
Kaido no longer wanted to waste words with the sharp-tongued kid opposite him. He raised his kanabo and shot towards Leno like a stream of light.
"Roaring Thunder Bagua"
Seeing Kaido go all out from the start, Leno didn't dare to be careless. With "Huangquan" in hand, its black-purple electric arcs danced violently, and his figure also turned into an afterimage to meet Kaido's attack.
"Dragon Force: Dragon Fang"
The two streaks of light, one red and one purple, collided violently in mid-air.
"ZING~"
Light scattered everywhere, and a piercing explosion rang out. Ripples spread through the air, followed by a terrifying shockwave that ravaged the area. The ground cracked and collapsed inch by inch. In the blink of an eye, half the island was shattered and sent flying, and the surging seawater poured in. The energy sphere between Leno's longsword and the kanabo expanded and contracted violently, then suddenly exploded. A blinding white light shot into the sky and then spread out.
In the air above the distant island, Nami and the others were aghast when they saw half the island suddenly crumble and a huge mushroom cloud accompanied by a dazzling white light shoot into the sky. Seeing this scene, the group seemed to have lost the ability to speak, staring blankly at the white light in the distance, their throats moving frantically.
On the battlefield, before the white light had even dissipated, Leno, who had locked onto Kaido with his Observation Haki, had already turned into a flash of lightning and appeared behind him.
"Swish"
A purple-black sword gleam slashed out diagonally. Kaido, who had already sensed it, swung his kanabo to meet it.
"ZING~"
Another explosion.
Seeing his attack blocked, Leno appeared above Kaido as if by teleportation, his speed at its absolute peak, and slashed at Kaido's face again.
"CLANG"
Kaido's reaction was also extremely fast. The kanabo in his hand was like a living thing, moving around his body in a blur of afterimages.
As Leno's figure flickered continuously around Kaido, "CLANG" "CLANG" "CLANG" the sound of metal clashing was endless. Suddenly, Leno's figure came to an abrupt halt. Only then did Kaido come back to his senses. He had been so focused on defending against Leno's attacks that he hadn't noticed the change in his surroundings. At some point, eight other figures had appeared around him. They were all in Dragon Man form, composed of lightning, and the same size as the original Leno. The weapons in their hands were also made of lightning, in various shapes—sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, and forks. Each held one, surrounding Kaido menacingly.
"God Force: Nine Dragons Crushing!"
A low murmur was heard, and the several figures instantly charged at Kaido.
Watching the nine figures rushing at him, Kaido's expression changed slightly. He tightened his grip on his kanabo and swung it rapidly, the club dancing around his body like a swimming dragon.
"Vajra Arrow"
Pillars of air blades shot out from all over Kaido's body, flying towards the nine attacking figures. However, the air blades passed directly through the bodies of the other eight figures without affecting them in the slightest. Kaido's face instantly changed. Before he could react, the eight figures were upon him, and he was submerged in all kinds of attacks.
Suddenly, Kaido, who was under siege, completely abandoned his defense after feeling the force of the attacks. He swept out his kanabo, which was covered in black and red electric arcs.
"Gundari: Dragon Swarm"
"BOOM"
Accompanied by bolts of lightning that suddenly fell from the sky, black and red electric arcs swept through the area. The surrounding figures were swept away and dissipated into the air.
Just as Kaido was about to deal with the real Leno, he suddenly felt his body sink. Leno's Conqueror's Haki had enveloped him. The next moment, Kaido's face changed drastically. In his Observation Haki, Leno had disappeared. This sudden change startled Kaido. He instinctively raised his head, intending to scan his surroundings.
"Schlick"
The sound of a blade entering flesh was heard.
Kaido's body instantly stiffened. His huge head slowly lowered, and he saw a crimson sword gleam piercing through his chest, with black-purple electric arcs flickering on it.
Gritting his teeth, he swung his kanabo behind him to force Leno back.
"Guh"
The sword's gleam left his body, taking a string of bloody flowers with it.
"Pfft~"
"Cough, cough..."
Kaido staggered and spat out a mouthful of blood. The attack, infused with Conqueror's Haki, had caused massive damage to his body, and his internal organs had been directly injured by the impact. Clutching the wound on his chest, Kaido glared at Leno with an ugly expression.
"Just now... what was that?"
"What was what?"
"Why didn't my Observation Haki sense you?"
Even now, Kaido couldn't believe what had just happened. 'What kind of technique was that, to be able to evade my Observation Haki?' Kaido asked again.
"What kind of technique is this? To be able to avoid my Observation Haki."
"Oh, you mean that? My Conqueror's Haki is a bit special. It can block an opponent's Observation Haki."
Leno said. Thinking of his mutated Conqueror's Haki, he sighed. He'd paid dearly for that "mutation."
