"Let's fight to the death, kid!"
"That's just what I was thinking!"
Yami responded to Kaido, his face also filled with fighting spirit. Then, with a push of his feet, his giant-sized body, like an arrow released from a bow, once again shot towards Kaido.
His fist carried a terrifying force that would instantly kill or maim even a giant, and he smashed it towards Kaido.
Kaido, who had been thrown onto the roof of the Skull Dome, his Eight Trigrams mace still in his room, also met the attack with a punch of his own.
When the two fists collided, a massive explosion, like countless cannonballs detonating at once, rang out.
Visible shockwaves continuously erupted from their fists, forming giant vortexes of air that first kicked up a cloud of dust, and then the ground began to make cracking sounds as if it couldn't bear the force.
This time, in the clash of fists, both Yami and Kaido felt a force as immense as a mountain or a sea, but neither of them was pushed back.
The stalemate didn't last long. Yami threw a side kick at Kaido's head.
Kaido first raised his arm to block, then seized the opportunity to grab Yami's leg with both hands and swing him away.
"Razor!"
The moment Yami was thrown, his massive body traced a sharp trajectory in the air, instantly flying back in front of Kaido, and he threw another swift straight punch.
Kaido crossed his arms to block the punch, a ferocious smile on his face as he taunted, "A combination of Shave and Moonwalk. For a pirate to be so skilled in the Six Powers, are you a secret member of a CP organization?"
"I'll take anything that's useful. Don't tell me you're envious, Senior Kaido?" Yami taunted back. "That's right. With your size, Senior Kaido, it's hard to imagine you practicing Shave. The tremors would probably be no less than Whitebeard's quakes."
"I don't need that kind of stuff!" Kaido roared. As expected of someone with a volatile temper, he was provoked by Yami's trash talk.
Changing his reactive fighting style, he directly abandoned his defense and swung his fists, launching a stormy barrage of attacks at Yami.
"Just what I wanted!"
Yami shouted, also abandoning his defense. His hands, like Luffy using Gum-Gum Gatling, turned into a blur of afterimages and rained down on Kaido.
The two seven-meter giants with indestructible bodies stood there, trading blows, punch for punch.
Dull, thunderous collisions continuously echoed from their bodies.
The surrounding air rippled with transparent waves, turning into astonishing shockwaves that tore apart the ground and kicked up a storm of gravel.
This scene was witnessed by the officers and members of the Beasts Pirates who had just arrived on the roof of the Skull Dome.
"Gulp... Who is that guy fighting the Governor-General?"
"You've got to be kidding me! Someone can actually fight Kaido-sama like this?"
"Who is that guy? Where did he come from? Are the patrol guys blind?"
"..."
"That face... I'm not mistaken. It's the 'Black Hole' Yami who shook the world a while ago, the Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit user."
"'Black Hole' Yami? The one whose maids are the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user and the Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit user? The strongest rookie in history?"
"So that's how it is. No wonder he could sneak into Onigashima. He was probably brought in by that Float-Float Fruit user maid."
"By the way... should I go and help the Governor-General?"
"Idiot! Can't you see Kaido-sama is having fun? Go if you want to die!"
"..."
Hearing the continuous chatter of his subordinates, one of the first to arrive on the roof, the All-Star and Lead Performer, King the Conflagration, looked at the defenseless, brawling Kaido and Yami and immediately gave an order: "All of you who haven't mastered Haki, leave this place. This is not a battle you can watch."
"..."
Although they were very disappointed, the members of the Beasts Pirates who had followed the team all responded and left.
Soon, the only spectators left on the roof of the Skull Dome were King the Conflagration, the only one of the three All-Stars on Onigashima; Ulti, Page One, and Black Maria of the future Tobiroppo; and some squad leaders who had mastered Haki.
Of course, there was also Kozuki Oden, hiding in a corner.
Yami and Kaido paid no attention to these spectators.
In the stormy exchange of blows, Yami's clothes had long been torn, and like Kaido, his upper body was bare.
"Your skin is so fair. Are you a sissy?"
Seeing that Yami's upper body, although very muscular, had fair and clean skin without a single scar to represent a man's glory, Kaido couldn't help but mock him again.
In response, Yami, who had developed a habit of trash-talking while playing sports, couldn't help but smile and reply, "I can't help it. I'm just too strong. Neither my enemies nor the sun can leave a mark on me."
"So I'm really envious of you, Senior Kaido. I heard you've lost seven times in your life. To have so many enemies you can't beat."
"..."
Seeing Yami, who didn't forget to use honorifics while mocking him, making him seem very polite, Kaido, who had never met an opponent with this style before, was stunned for a moment and took a punch to the face from Yami.
Then, just like Crocodile, Kaido roared in anger, "You hypocritical brat! Eat this!"
With this punch, a layer of black substance covered Kaido's fist.
Although the stormy barrage of attacks just now had been fierce, and even a top-tier pirate would have been killed or maimed by it, it was actually just a warm-up for Yami and Kaido.
For those with indestructible bodies, punches without Haki were like Gear Fourth Luffy's sobering-up punches—they didn't hurt at all.
Kaido had obviously also discovered that Yami was indeed the same type as him and Charlotte Linlin.
To injure someone of their kind, even Kaido needed to use internal destruction Haki.
If Yami had mastered Observation Haki, he would have noticed a layer of purple gas flowing on Kaido's fist.
This flowing Haki was an advanced application of Armament Haki.
Yami, who had not yet awakened Observation Haki, naturally couldn't see this deeper level of technique.
Seeing Kaido use Armament Haki, Yami also coated his fist with Armament Haki and continued to trade blows with him.
Boom—
But when Kaido's fist landed heavily on Yami's body...
Yami, who had never been injured since he transmigrated, suddenly had his pupils shrink drastically. His mouth fell slightly agape, and then his massive body was sent flying backward.
Just like the first punch that had sobered Kaido up, Yami was sent flying far away by Kaido's punch, smashing through several rock mountains.
