A fierce wind swept through, ruffling everyone's robes. Kuro stood on Kaido's spiked club, and as the two locked eyes, their auras gradually intensified.

Meanwhile, Charlotte Linlin touched her abdomen, which had been hit by the beam cannon, and grinned maliciously as she raised her sword and stared at Kizaru opposite her.

Suppressed!

Suffocation!!

"Gulp—!"

Quinn's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. Logically, he should have been involved in the battle. His boss was fighting, and as one of his boss's top lieutenants, he had to go.

But with this level of strength... it's impossible to move at all!

Bang!

"Horo horo horo!"

Kaido laughed loudly, suddenly pulling up the iron rod. Kuro's body was lifted into the air, and he spun around in the air. Luo Gui shone with golden light and slashed at Kaido's body with his sword.

when! !

He raised the mace horizontally, blocking the blow, and the impact rippled outwards from where the weapons met.

With a clash of weapons, Kuro's body became a blur, flashing out from Kaido's side, his blade glowing with blood as he slashed down again.

"Um!!"

Kaido's eyes widened, he let out a muffled roar, and his spiked club crackled with black lightning as he swung it down.

when!

Ta-da!

The two sides exchanged attacks at lightning speed, each clash of weapons generating a shockwave. Kuro's figure was like a ghostly shadow circling Kaido, unleashing a slash with every flash, while Kaido remained unmoved, swinging only his spiked club, each strike accurately hitting the spot where Kuro appeared.

"This incense burner is so fast!" Luffy's eyes lit up as he watched the battle.

Regardless of what Kuro thinks, if he's dealing with Kaido, then... he's a good person!

"But what is that aura, Master Bing? It's different from what you taught me," Luffy asked curiously.

To those who understand Haki, Haki is tangible. Only those who don't understand Haki can't see its 'shape'. Luffy can certainly see the shape of Haki, but it's different from what this old man taught him.

Hyogoro the Flower was a famous yakuza boss in Wano Country and was very respected, but that made no difference to Luffy. The most important thing was that this old man taught him "Ryuo". In the past few months, through the "Sumo Hell" of Udon, Luffy has trained hard and has mastered "Ryuo".

But this thing is completely different from Ryuo...

The little old man with blue flames on his head nodded and said, "Ryuo is 'flowing Haki,' but above that, there is 'aggregated Haki,' which is called 'Muramasa' in Wano Country! It is the highest level of Armament Haki, formed by constantly refining and aggregating Haki, just like a master craftsman forging iron. But only people with extremely high Haki mastery can use it."

"Muramasa? Sounds pretty good!" Luffy clenched his fist, staring at the ball of light created by the collision and friction between black lightning and gold electricity. "I want to learn that too!!"

Bang!

The spiked club clashed with the black-backed red-bladed sword again. Kaido's eyes widened, and he suddenly exerted force in his arm. With this collision, he pushed away Kuro's attack, which was spinning around him. At the same time, he gripped the spiked club with both hands and pulled it back. The spiked club spun in his hands, forming a tornado-like blade. He exhaled hot breath, which rushed towards the tornado, creating a wind and fire combined impact with his Haki.

"Wind of Xun (Southeast) and Fire - Doesn't know the way!!"

Kuro's pupils contracted, and his body, which had been flying backward, suddenly slammed to the ground, dodging the shockwave of the wind and fire. As he landed, the blade flicked upward, aiming straight for Kaido's chest. The long blade struck Kaido's chin, and although it failed to break through his defenses, it did make Kaido's head tilt back.

Bang!

Kaido then kicked Kuro in the chest, sending him flying. Kaido suddenly leaped into the air, his spiked club spinning almost like a windmill above his head, surrounded by dense black lightning.

"Descending to the third generation..."

Kuro, having just regained his footing, witnessed this and immediately traced two fingers towards the blade of the Luo Gui sword, simultaneously sheathing it at his waist. His left hand gripped the blade like the mouth of a scabbard, and he uttered, "One strike, and it's over..."

His figure transformed into a whirlwind and vanished from the spot. At that moment, Kaido, with a ferocious look in his eyes, swung his club down.

"Hidden Naraku!!"

"Desperate White Tiger Slayer!!"

BOOM!!!

The moment the club fell, Kuro appeared, wielding his sword with both hands and unleashing a kasaya slash that was absolutely impossible to dodge. Black lightning collided with the blood-red light crackling with golden electricity, producing a tremendous sound that caused the ground to tremble violently. A shockwave emanated from the point where the weapons clashed, shattering the nearby pillar mountains and weapon factories one by one.

"ah!!"

Quinn clutched his head, on the verge of tears, "Boss! If this keeps up, the factory will be gone!!"

"If the factory is gone, we can just rebuild it somewhere else!"

Kaido roared from above, slamming his iron rod down with tremendous force, sending Kuro flying downwards like a cannonball, crashing into the ground and kicking up dust.

At the same time, the impact of the weapons clashing also propelled his body upwards, causing him to freeze in mid-air for a moment before he landed heavily on the ground.

Sizzle!

The moment he landed, several wounds inexplicably appeared on his dragon-human body.

"A burst of murderous intent?"

Kaido glanced at the wound on his shoulder and laughed loudly, "Hooray! This is the long-awaited burst of passion, Kuro!!"

boom!

The smoke and dust suddenly exploded outwards, sending up flying debris.

Kuro twisted his neck and walked out slowly, saying coldly, "Hot-blooded? Be careful not to burn yourself. Why do you, a rough man, come up with such fancy names for your moves? What, are all people who like to drink poets?"

Kaido's attack names are quite interesting...

The move '巽风火·不识路' means that the impact of wind and fire will make you lose your way.

The more powerful "Descent into the Three Worlds - Naraku" sounds impressive, but if you extend the meaning slightly, "Descent into the Three Worlds" actually refers to greed, anger, ignorance, and karma, while "Naraku" means hell, and "Descent into the Three Worlds" means going to hell.

So what I mean is—your retribution is me, I'll beat you so badly you'll go to hell!

Such a rough thing, yet it has to be given such a literary name. Someone who doesn't know any better might think it's something amazing.

It's just a swing with added elements, and a swing while jumping.

In comparison, the name he chose, Kuro, is more in line with the style of a powerful move!

snort! !

"Wei Kingdom!!"

On the other side, Charlotte Linlin unleashed a triangular shockwave, while Kizaru directly swung his greatsword of light, pointing it at Charlotte Linlin.

"The Heavenly Maiden's Destiny is Bright".

Boom!!

A beam of light shot out from the giant sword, colliding with the mighty force, causing the surroundings to tremble and making it impossible for those nearby to open their eyes.

A light cannon?!

Kuro glanced over, a smirk playing on his lips. What's so special about this? No matter what kind of technique it is, it will eventually evolve into a beam cannon style.
