The moment the spiked club came crashing down, he had already retreated.

He looked down at his chest, where there was a gap, a gap without any signs of blows or slashes, as if someone had bitten off a piece out of thin air.

In this form, his physical body is at its most perfect, with strength, defense, reaction speed, and healing ability all at their peak. He shouldn't be so easily broken through, but he was still broken through, and it was by being cut.

Moreover, when the ribbon floated by, there was a particularly uncomfortable feeling of suffocation.

The area around the breach writhed for a moment, then quickly healed back to normal. Kaido's expression remained unchanged as he looked towards the center of the crater, his voice grave. "That ribbon-like thing..."

Bang!

Kuro burst out from the center of the crater, slowly flying down to a position level with Kaido. He stretched his body, then grinned menacingly at Kaido, "Just developed this, not bad power, huh!"

The blood-red ribbon wrapped around his shoulder was not merely a trophy; it was a new characteristic derived from the development of this posture.

This was something newly developed after the battle with Barrett. He hadn't tried it yet, but after fighting him, Kuro understood that even in his full-power stance, there were different characteristics.

Barrett's focus is on his full-power stance, emphasizing immense strength. The combination of Conqueror's Haki, physical skills, and abilities results in a power comparable to the nuclear bomb in Clow's memories.

Kaido's full-power stance is an development of his physical body. After all, Zoan-type users have the strongest physical bodies. Kaido already possesses the super-strong self-healing ability of Zoan-type users. With his full-power stance, the defensive power provided by this armor is already super strong, and the self-healing ability has reached the level of 'absolute'.

Kuro's full-force stance possesses...

It is destructive power, destructive power that can be controlled at will.

Absolute lethality stemming from the combination of killing intent, swordsmanship, domineering aura, and ability.

The ribbon itself is the source of its destructive power. The free control that Piao Piao brings allows him to manipulate the ribbon around him at will. Although there is a distance, once you get hit by it, it won't be a pleasant experience!
