The Great Pirate Era.
The great seas surge and churn, powerhouses destroy and annihilate, each fighting their own battles. It's utterly—
Demotivating!
I, Russil Kuro, age tw...
The blade slashed down, creating a gust of wind that swept up the remaining moisture in the air. From the swing of [Autumn Water], several water dragons burst forth, roaring as they charged towards Kaido.
Several dragons crashed into Kaido, the force of the wind making the water feel sharp, cutting through Kaido's skin, and the gale penetrated into the cut skin.
Immediately afterwards, like popping beans, Kaido's body exploded with a series of sounds, and streaks of blood appeared on his body, spurting out blood.
But he didn't care at all, and the force of his impact did not diminish at all. Just as Kuro launched his attack, his entire body rushed forward and smashed down with a punch.
Kuro reacted quickly, raising Shusui horizontally to block Kaido's fist, but the force was too great, and he couldn't block it at all. Shusui was pressed down by the fist and smashed down.
Bang!!!
Kuro's body slammed into the ground like a cannonball, creating a deep crater. The impact caused his body to bounce on the ground.
Even with his body covered in Armament Haki, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood under the enormous impact.
"Awooo!!!"
After throwing a punch in mid-air, Kaido roared again, his body transforming into a blue dragon, spewing out hot breath, and then charging straight at him.
"Secret Technique: Vermilion Bird!"
Kuro, who had just straightened up, looked at the energy ball that was rapidly approaching him and the dragon that was closing in behind him, gritted his teeth and unleashed another secret technique.
A whirlwind swirled around his blade, enveloping him. The whirlwind almost materialized, forming the shape of a phoenix. The energy ball struck it, causing an explosion that blasted a hole in the phoenix, which was then instantly repaired by the whirlwind.
"A body composed of slashing attacks?"
Kaido's dragon eyes narrowed as he charged forward, but he charged without fear.
With a cry, Suzaku flapped its wings and took flight, engaging Kaido in combat.
Entangled with the Vermilion Bird, every time Kaido struck it, his body would be pierced with several cuts. Kaido howled and bit down on the Vermilion Bird's body, but this resulted in several more wounds on his mouth.
However, the Vermilion Bird's body formed by the slashes and wind is not in a good position either. If Kaido bites it, swings its claws, or swings its dragon tail, its body will disintegrate in some ways and then be repaired.
In the sky, a blue dragon and a vermilion bird were locked in a fierce battle, their attacks intertwined.
The dragon roared, and the birds sang loudly.
The two enormous bodies clashed and pounded against each other.
"This is so annoying!!!"
Seeing that he couldn't destroy the Vermilion Bird formed by the slashes, Kaido opened his mouth and withstood the countless slashes coming from the Vermilion Bird, gathering a ball of energy in his mouth.
"Heat Breath!"
Boom boom boom boom!
At such close range, if he were to unleash an energy blast, he himself would be affected, but Kaido... didn't care at all.
A large number of energy orbs bombarded Suzaku. Even though Suzaku was able to quickly replenish its energy, it couldn't keep up with Kaido's bombardment. Gradually, Suzaku's body began to shrink, and gaps started to appear from the bombardment.
Kaido's dragon eyes narrowed, seizing the opportunity. He extended his dragon claw inward, slashing and scraping a small wound on the dragon's claw. However, in that instant, Suzaku disappeared.
At the claw's edge was a knife held aloft, and Kuro appeared before Kaido's claw with a grim expression.
Bang!
The dragon's tail swept across, striking Kuro's body directly and slamming him into the ground, creating a deep crater.
Kuro knelt down on one knee, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, felt a dull pain in his waist and ribs, clicked his tongue, and looked up at the azure dragon floating in the air.
Those wounds were emitting wisps of white smoke as they healed rapidly.
With such an arrogant attitude, it's no wonder that Gecko Moria's mentality collapsed after his defeat.
If he had a good mindset, he probably would have broken down too.
They're completely unkillable.
The azure dragon in the sky solidified into human form. Kaido glanced down, his legs unleashing a burst of air waves as he hurtled forward at lightning speed.
"Black Tortoise!"
Kuro was shocked and unleashed a secret technique, forming a tortoise-snake shield of raging wind in front of him. His snake eyes were fixed on Kaido, but it was of no use. Kaido suddenly waved his hand in the air, shattering the snake's phantom first, and then punched him.
Bang!!!
The Xuanwu shield shattered like broken glass under this punch.
Before Kuro could even react, Kaido's large hand pierced through the shattered shield, grabbed his head, and slammed it against the ground.
Rumble!
Another huge crack appeared in the earth, extending straight down to the bottom of the island. Kaido, grabbing Kuro's upper body, smashed through the ground, broke through to the bottom of the island, and fell into the air, still flying downwards!
At this height, if he were to be thrown down, whether into the ocean or on the ground, Kuro would be pretty much done for.
Kuro's head was covered in blood, and the impact nearly made him faint. He stared intently at Kaido, and as his body fell, he gripped Shusui tightly, a golden lightning bolt flashing across the blade, and slashed down.
Kuro certainly knew how to manifest advanced Armament Haki; otherwise, how could he have shattered the island with a single strike when he encountered Shiki?
when!
Autumn Water struck Kaido's wrist, but the area was covered by Haki, preventing the blade from advancing any further.
Kuro knew this would happen, but it was exactly what he wanted. Kaido would be momentarily relaxed in his defense against his slashes.
Bang!!
A lion's head formed from an island slammed into Kaido's body, sending him flying.
Kuro broke free from Kaido's grasp, barely having time to catch his breath. With a single swift movement, he manipulated the island to attack Kaido.
Bang! Bang!
The two islands flew around Kaido and crashed into him together.
Then, ships, swords, black guns, and all sorts of other things bombarded Kaido. The entire continent that Kuro had painstakingly pieced together disintegrated, turning into huge pieces of land that crashed into Kaido.
Gradually, Kaido's body was submerged by these things, and as the islands continued to pile up, his body could no longer be seen.
Kuro has been accumulating supplies for so long, and he's sending them all to Kaido.
As the last island crashed into it, the place in the sky that had previously resembled a floating island vanished, replaced by an enormous lion's head, stretching across the heavens and earth.
Kuro clenched his fists around the lion's head, making it seem even more solid, and then there was no more movement inside.
But he knew it was only temporary.
He is now extremely resentful that he doesn't truly know how to endure.
Otherwise, if a planet were to explode at this moment, he would send this thing up into the sky to be used as the moon.
But thinking about it, that's impossible.
Thump!
Soon, a sound gradually emanated from deep within the enormous lion's head.
Kuro held up Autumn Water horizontally, and with a flick of his two fingers, golden light reappeared.
The phantom images of four mythical beasts appeared around him, their eyes fixed on the huge, round stone that was constantly making noise.
