"Hooray! You're not bad either!!" Kaido laughed loudly upon hearing this.
Amidst the laughter, the injuries to his chest and hands caused by the bloodstains were completely healed.
In comparison, Kuro's condition is definitely not good.
A hole was pierced in his abdomen, and the murderous armor on his chest was shattered beyond recognition. His sternum was definitely broken; that blow almost displaced his internal organs.
He came with an injury, so his condition is even worse now.
However, those two stab wounds could keep Kaido injured for months!
His "Empty Kill" move is not so easy to replicate!
It's a trade of injuries, right? Kaido's physique is arguably the strongest in the world, especially in this form. Kuro believes that Linlin's full-power form wouldn't be as strong as Kaido's, since her Devil Fruit isn't focused on physical attributes.
Continuing to wear down Kaido would be disadvantageous for Kuro, but his destructive power surpasses Kaido's, so the fight would be a matter of trading blows.
As long as he can withstand Kaido's attacks, Kaido's injuries will definitely be more severe than his own.
"Again!" Kuro roared through gritted teeth.
"Horo horo horo!"
Kaido gripped his spiked club with both hands, staring at Kuro in the sky, especially noticing the two blood-red ribbons fluttering on his shoulders, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
There are two more...
"Heat Breath!"
Just as Kaido raised his weapon, about to swing his club, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a breath.
Kuro dodged the breath attack with a swift movement, simultaneously unleashing a move with one hand and wielding his other hand, "Slash Wave!"
Sure enough, after exhaling that hot breath, Kaido immediately moved, rushing towards the direction Kuro had dodged, but was quickly approached by the huge black and red slash that appeared.
*Smack!*
Kaido swung his spiked club fiercely, shattering the slash, and suddenly, a huge shadow fell from the sky.
He looked up and saw an island suddenly fall down, hitting him directly on the head.
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"
Kaido paused, then swung his spiked club, but not towards the island; instead, he struck to his side.
Kuro had somehow appeared over there and was about to slash down with his sword.
Boom!!
The spiked club pierced through Kuro's body, leaving ripples that vanished like water.
Fake? !
At that moment, the island landed on Kaido's head.
Kaido glared, then shoved his head upwards with all his might. With a loud bang, the island cracked from the bottom up, shattering into several pieces.
The huge island was completely held back by Kaido!
The instant he held the island aloft, a flash of blood suddenly appeared from his neck.
Kuro appeared behind him with bloodshot eyes and slashed at his neck with a knife.
"Hooray! Kuro, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?!"
Kaido, who was holding the island, suddenly swung his spiked club, twisted his body, and used the club to block Kuro's blade. At the same time, he opened his mouth and spewed out another blast of hot breath, which went straight towards Kuro's face.
At that moment, the island suddenly disappeared. The island that Kaido had held back and split apart seemed to have never existed at all.
That's an illusion!
That thing is fake; we discovered it as soon as Kaido held the island back.
A hot breath hit Kuro in the face, causing him to instinctively close his eyes and fall backward.
Kaido's spiked club deflected off the blade of the sword and swung down towards his head.
"This kind of deception is nothing to me..."
He was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly froze, abruptly stopping his throwing motion, and exclaimed in surprise, "Something's wrong!!"
Whoosh!
Everything around them vanished like ripples on water; the island above and Kuro behind them disappeared in an instant.
"Killing Intent Illusion - Duet"
Kuro appeared right there, holding a sword, in the direction from which he first attacked Kuro.
Another ribbon on his shoulder was missing, and the remaining blood-red ribbon was now wrapped around Luo Gui, bursting with bloody light.
He hasn't moved since Kuro flashed in front of Kaido.
Kaido's blow was neutralized by him using 'Empty Kill', while he himself remained there the whole time.
The islands that appeared later, and the way he appeared from behind Kaido and slashed at his neck, were all illusions of murderous intent.
He was stabbed so many times, including two major ones; the killing intent must have already seeped into his body...
Kuro hasn't made a move yet; he's been waiting for an opportunity.
But from the moment Kaido's attack was neutralized by Kuro's staff, Kuro activated the Killing Intent Illusion.
He didn't move at all; he simply neutralized Kaido's attack with a "No-Life Void Kill." The club did hit him, but the attack itself wasn't powerful enough, and it was even less so after being neutralized. It didn't hurt Kuro, but at the same time, he activated an illusion, creating the illusion that Kaido thought he had disappeared.
The falling island was also an illusion, which Kaido saw through, but he didn't see through the second illusion. Kuro isn't stupid; facing such a powerful enemy, why would he cut off his neck? Kaido would definitely notice such a life-or-death thought. Cutting off the neck or stabbing the heart are fatal blows, which are the most closely guarded parts by Kaido. If he were to touch that target, Kaido would probably notice immediately.
That wasn't the goal from the beginning...
"Slay the without-slay, kill the without-birth!"
Pfft!!
Luo Gui, his blade gleaming with blood-red light, plunged his sword into Kaido's lower back, piercing through him completely.
I'll chop you up alive!!
Kuro glared with his scarlet eyes and roared, twisting his blade to face horizontally, ready to cut Kaido in half at the waist.
He couldn't block that blow!
Just then, Kaido twisted his body, shifted his feet, and suddenly turned around. Kuro's horizontal slash aimed at him was directly pulled out, and the sword slashed outwards, leaving a large gash in his waist.
"That won't do!"
Kaido's head was on the ground as he grinned at Kuro. He kicked forward with both feet, hitting Kuro in the face and sending him sprawling backward. Then, he swung his spiked club upside down with the force of wind and thunder, striking Kuro in the waist.
"Thunderbolt from the southeast wind!!"
Bang!
With Kaido's roar, the blow dented Kuro's body, sending him flying like an arrow in the opposite direction of the club's swing. As he was sent flying, a tattered ribbon of blood broke into fragments and scattered away.
"Um?!"
Kaido flipped over again, landing on his feet. He frowned as he watched the ribbon fragments gradually disappear, then reached out and touched the gap at his waist, frowning as he said, "Weren't there only six?"
call!
A black and red slash flew past and was shattered by Kaido's club.
Kuro clutched his waist, wincing in pain. "Who told you I only have six 'No Birth Void Kill' techniques?"
