Carlo's massive right fist, like a black cannonball, slammed heavily into Kaido's face, choking back the clamor in his mouth.
Nearly ten thousand tons of punching force erupted completely; even if a warship or a small mountain stood before this punch, it would be blasted apart by Carlo!
Kaido felt as if a large warship charging at high speed had flown into his face.
The instant Carlo's fist hit his face.
His massive muscular frame flipped backward entirely, the back of his head slamming heavily into the ground.
The ground behind him was smashed through by the back of his head.
Kaido was upside down, his upper body buried deep into the earth, leaving two hairy legs sticking up and twitching.
A long stream of blood splattered out from between his nose and mouth.
Carlo even saw a broken front tooth.
Looking at Kaido sprawled out with his head still buried in the dirt.
Carlo finally felt he had vented some of his frustration.
A wicked smile curled at the corners of his mouth. Taking advantage of the fact that Kaido hadn't climbed up yet, he delivered another kick right between Kaido's legs!
A soccer kick!
Boom!!
Awoooooo...!
After a dull sound of flesh colliding, there came Kaido's cry of pain, sounding just like Tom the Cat.
His body, which had been violently kicked by Carlo, was pulled out of the dirt. He skidded along the ground, smashing through over a dozen houses, and was sent flying over a hundred meters away.
At the end of the chaotic street, Kaido clutched his lower body, his face twisted in pain, turning the color of pig liver.
He gritted his teeth and looked up, glaring toward Carlo, his eyes completely bloodshot.
"You despicable navy brat, you actually... ow..."
It proved one thing.
No matter how tough a body is.
That fragile place cannot possibly be as hard as a fist.
Carlo's kick had brought tears to Kaido's eyes.
Blood was still trickling from the corners of his mouth and nostrils.
He looked quite pathetic.
Whoosh!
The smoke and dust ahead were blown to both sides.
A strong wind hit his face.
A crescent-shaped slash over ten meters long arrived, hugging the ground!
"Tempest Kick: Gale!"
"Bastard!" Kaido gritted his teeth, thrusting his spiked club into the ground to steady himself.
Boom!
The Tempest Kick slash shattered against his spiked club.
But immediately following it was a right foot wrapped in pitch-black Haki!
Along with a taunt that made Kaido explode with rage.
"Yo! Kaido, are your golden eggs okay? You won't turn into a woman, will you?"
Seeing the gloating smile on Carlo's face, Kaido's face contorted.
"Don't get ahead of yourself!! Thunder—"
"Bagua!!"
Zzzzt—!
The spiked club, wrapped in lightning, whistled as it pierced the air. Driven by Kaido's two massive arms, it blasted toward Carlo's right foot.
Seeing the cold, glinting spikes on the spiked club, Carlo also became ruthless. He didn't avoid it at all and stepped down hard!
Boom!!
"Whoaaaaa!!"
"Ughhhhhh!!"
Carlo summoned all his strength, concentrating it into his right foot, pressing down firmly on Kaido's spiked club, wanting to stomp it into the ground.
White steam puffed from Kaido's nostrils. With red eyes, he gripped the hachisai-kai with both hands. The muscles on his massive arms bulged like pythons, and thick veins looked ready to burst, erupting with infinite, monstrous strength.
The two were locked in a brief struggle of strength, their faces flushed red as if they were about to drip blood.
Ultimately, however, Kaido's strength was superior.
"Go... fly to the end of the sky!"
"Thunder Sixteen Bagua!!"
Kaido roared in fury, flipping the spiked club out from under Carlo's foot. He slid it up along Carlo's leg, grazing his chest and abdomen, and smashed the club into Carlo's jaw.
With a 'crack,' a snapping sound came from Carlo's lower jaw.
A long stream of blood sprayed out from his mouth, turning into a mist of blood.
He was sent flying like a baseball struck by Kaido's club.
Boom!!
He flew so fast he even broke the sound barrier, creating Mach rings. He flew from one end of the Rocky Port town to the other, four or five hundred meters away.
"Physique +1"
"Armament Haki +0.2"
Boom, boom, boom—!
The mechanical announcement of the system was drowned out by the sound of Kaido trampling the earth as he sprinted in pursuit.
Click!
Carlo pressed his jaw, snapping the dislocated joint back into place.
He almost thought his jaw had been shattered by Kaido's club.
But while it wasn't shattered.
The teeth in his mouth had been knocked loose.
An unknown amount of dental blood had flown out.
It even took a molar with it.
"Ptooey!"
He spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm on the ground. Carlo shook his right foot, which had been punctured by the spiked club, and charged out with a wild laugh to meet Kaido, who was rushing toward him swinging his club.
"Again!!"
"Bring it!!" Kaido's eyes were also red. He swung the spiked club like a windmill, raining down wild blows upon Carlo.
Boom!
He smashed the club into Carlo's right shoulder.
Both of Carlo's legs were driven deep into the ground by the impact.
The muscles on his shoulder tore, several bloody holes were punctured by the spikes, and a cracking sound came from his shoulder blade.
"Physique +0.8!"
"Armament Haki +0.2!"
Boom!! Carlo delivered a whip kick to Kaido's waist, sending him flying sideways for dozens of meters.
However, relying on his thick-skinned body, Kaido quickly flipped back up and charged again, gripping the spiked club with both hands for a jumping overhead strike.
Boom!!
A large pit over ten meters in diameter was blasted into the ground.
The blood-covered Carlo stood by the edge of the pit and raised a middle finger at him.
"Hehe, missed."
"Waaaaaah!!"
"Thunder Bagua!"
"Physique +0.6!"
"Armament Haki +0.15!"
"Thunder Bagua!"
"Physique +0.55!"
"Armament Haki +0.1!"
"Thunder Sixteen Bagua!"
"Physique +0.4!"
"Armament Haki +0.08!"
Kaido was like he was having a fit, frantically swinging his club with seemingly inexhaustible strength, bombarding Carlo relentlessly.
At first, Carlo used his advantage of being smaller and faster to dodge dozens of attacks and even struck back several times.
But Kaido didn't dodge at all, relying on his thick skin and flesh to chase him down and output damage like a madman.
After a high-intensity clash that lasted for over ten minutes.
Carlo was the first to feel fatigue.
Fighting Kaido's spiked club barehanded still put him at a disadvantage.
His current Armament Haki, after all, was not yet strong enough to easily withstand a treasure blade like the hachisai-kai.
Though he didn't know if Kaido's hachisai-kai was a Supreme Grade blade or a great grade blade.
The hardness and sharpness of the spikes on it far exceeded any of the famous swords Carlo had seen at Headquarters.
His hands, feet, and many parts of his body had been punctured and cut by the spikes.
He had lost quite a bit of blood.
If not for Life Return, which allowed him to freely control his muscles to stop the bleeding.
He probably would have been suffering from anemia by now.
Suddenly, Carlo's foot accidentally missed its step, falling into a pit, and his whole body stumbled to the right!
