On the other side, Charlotte Linlin was hacking away like a madwoman.
"Wei Kingdom!"
"The majestic drums!"
"Fire from the sky!"
"A tornado!"
Slashes, lightning, flames, and whirlwinds—all sorts of moves appeared in her hands as she attacked her opponent, Kizaru.
"A Heavenly Maiden's Destiny Shines!"
Kizaru moved swiftly, his figure flashing in the sky and on the ground, and moved to a certain place, raising his hand to unleash a beam of light.
No matter how mixed his techniques are, Kizaru is just a beam of light.
One trick is all you need to succeed.
He glanced at Kuro, a serious look flashing in his eyes, but he still pouted, "Oh~ Kuro, are you serious? How scary."
The blood and qi continued to rise.
Kuro's bared teeth were almost all sharp, and the veins on his face were exposed by the steaming blood, making him look extremely ferocious, as if he was about to turn into a demon.
He took a step apart, and the blood energy surrounding him gradually began to solidify, appearing even more scarlet.
The killing intent surrounding them began to contract, rapidly entering Kuro's body.
His entire body was enveloped in murderous aura!
The contraction of the killing intent field relieved the minds of those who were still awake, and the suffocating feeling finally disappeared.
But...
Kuro was covered in sweat and was retreating, looking in horror at Kuro, who had already condensed his killing intent into his body.
If the feeling before was like a storm, then the feeling now is like the feeling before the storm arrives—not as shocking, but even more terrifying.
Because we don't know how big the impending storm will be, and the unknown is precisely what makes it terrifying!
"What...is this?!"
Kidd, who was resting and watching the game from the side, gritted his teeth, feeling his teeth chattering.
"Wow, that's strong!" Luffy adjusted his hat and smiled. "Wow, that's really strong! Hyoga, what's this?"
"I don't know either..." Hyogoro shook his head. This time he really didn't know. In his experience, he had never seen anything like this before.
The killing intent that can entwine is something that is incomprehensible to people, but it can also be regarded as the conqueror's haunting. However, the power generated by this whole body being entwined is something that he cannot understand at all with his knowledge!
The crimson color deepened, and gradually, changes were observed on Kuro's body. Shoulder armor extended from his shoulders, and his murderous aura expanded outward, forming a crimson armor that extended all the way to his waist, becoming several pieces of armor. As soon as this crimson armor was formed, it was stained with black, mixing with the red, and at the chest, it became a symbol of a distorted sun.
A black and red suit of armor took shape on Kuro's body.
Around the black and red armor, Kuro's shoulders, waist, and thighs were draped with what looked like blood-red ribbons, which made a tearing sound as they swayed in the air.
That 'ribbon' also contains great power!
"Come on!!" Kuro pointed at Luo Gui and roared, "Kaido!!"
"Horo horo horo horo!"
Kaido burst into laughter, his smile brimming with wild fighting spirit. "You've mastered it too? Impressive! You didn't even reveal Conqueror's Haki or its entanglement, yet you still managed to achieve this stance. Aptitude, Conqueror's Haki, Haki, abilities, physical skills—the ultimate form where all power is mastered to its limit. Well, I'll show you then!!"
Thump!
He stomped heavily on the ground, and his huge body suddenly expanded again. The scales all over his body suddenly swelled up, as if turning Kaido into a giant hedgehog made of scales. His dragon tail swayed behind him, and was also covered by the sudden expansion of scales, as if forming a scale egg.
The scale egg gradually shrank instead of expanding, and instead dropped to a height slightly taller than Kuro. Then, the scale egg suddenly contracted inward and gradually condensed into a human shape.
A man with his eyes closed, bearing six horns on his head, including two horns resembling those of a horned dragon, a pair of upright horns on his head, and two smaller, coiled horns beside them.
The man's previously unruly, thunder-like long hair disappeared, replaced by a helmet-like scale-like helmet on his head, extending all the way to his cheeks and connecting to the roots of his long, dragon-like whiskers. The hair behind the helmet became completely smooth and draped down his back.
The shoulders are covered with blue scale-patterned armor that extends all the way to the arms, and the body is also covered with the same armor. On the forearms, there are barbed arm guards that extend outwards from the elbows, and the armor on the calves has two horns that flare outwards.
The tail behind its rump has also disappeared, which is good, making it look like a demon wearing dragon-shaped armor!
Kaido?
Kuro paused, staring at the only dragon whisker still fluttering on the face, somewhat uncertain.
The person who appeared now did not have the explosively huge body of before. Although he was not much taller than Kuro, he was not as huge as Kaido was before. He looked very agile, and his waist was so thin that it turned his body into a perfect inverted triangle.
And what's with that face? Before, Kaido's face was full of flesh and wrinkles, but now the skin showing through his scale armor makes him look younger, and even the shape of his eyes looks better!
"Horo horo horo horo!!"
The man tilted his head back and let out his signature boisterous laugh, which put Kuro at ease.
It wasn't someone else playing for me; it was me.
but...
"Is it a unique characteristic of Zoan-type characters?!" Kuro gritted his teeth and said.
Their full bloom is not something that can only be achieved by reaching a certain level; some people are lucky enough to discover this state of being ahead of time.
That Straw Hat kid over there has mastered this power; his 'Gear Fourth', when his abilities and Haki are fully unleashed, belongs to their mode.
However, Straw Hat Luffy clearly put the cart before the horse. His mastery of Haki is insufficient, and his abilities are not developed enough. He can't even cover his entire body with Conqueror's Haki, let alone the most basic binding technique. Even if he happens to figure out this posture, it looks awkward and like a poor imitation.
But Kaido went a bit too far!
Kuro knew about changing body shape; he'd seen people grow from small to large before. But what about growing from large to small? And what about becoming younger?
Is concentrated essence the best?
But one thing is certain: Kaido is now so strong it's terrifying!
"Of course, there are different abilities. How can a Zoan type be the same as a Paramecia type? Come on, Clow Reed, let this long-lost passion burn even brighter! Horo horo horo!"
Kaido picked up his iron rod, grinned, revealing sharp teeth, and his eyes were filled with ferocity: "Full Power—Dragon Demon!!!"
