Chapter 245: Crushing Battle, Powerful Skills! (Two-in-One)
"Hahahahaha!"
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, let's continue!"
In just a few breaths, Kaido, who had been stabbed in the throat by Yoshikazu Tsugakuin just a moment ago, stood up, covering his head and laughing wildly.
His voice was low yet loud, completely different from the hoarseness just now.
Through the transparent world, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni could clearly see that the sword wound on Kaido's throat had completely healed.
Not only were there no scars on the surface, but even the deep muscles and nerves had recovered as before. The pierced spine had also completely healed, and the sword wound had completely disappeared.
Not only the wound on the throat, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi noticed that the black flames surrounding Kaido's armpits and behind his back began to wriggle rapidly, directly attaching to the wounds on Kaido's body.
After a while, the flames gathered around Kaido, and the wounds on his body that had been forcibly sealed by the return of life were now completely healed.
Although I don’t know what exactly happened to Kaido.
But judging from what is happening right now, Kaido in front of him seems to have really advanced his Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Beast Type, Blue Dragon Form to the level of awakening.
Although we don’t know what specific abilities Kaido’s devil fruit will have after awakening, based on the current situation, we can at least be sure that one of his awakened abilities is extremely strong recovery ability.
This level of recovery ability made Yunyi think of the ghosts he had encountered before.
"This level of healing ability must consume a lot of physical energy."
"Using Haki requires energy, and using Devil Fruits should also require energy."
"If you want to kill this guy, you have to drain his energy so that he has no way to recover."
"There's another way. Use absolute attack power to completely penetrate his 'recovery efficiency' and kill him with one strike!"
As he thought about it, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's heart couldn't help but sink.
With the existence of a transparent world, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni is very clear about Kaido's physical condition in front of him. He is like a giant volcano, and his flesh contains terrifying power.
In terms of physical strength alone, Yoriichi Tsugakuni has no confidence that he can drag Kaido to death.
As for using one blow to completely penetrate Kaido's recovery and kill him directly.
To be honest, Yuichiro Tsugikuni didn't have much confidence either.
Although his current Conqueror's Haki is more than a step above Kaido's, the power of his slash is only just as strong as that of the Pirate King Roger. He has seen Roger perform "Divine Evasion" before his eyes and knows the power of his slash.
But even so, Roger's divine avoidance was not able to kill Kozuki Oden with one blow, but only left a scar on the opponent's body.
At this moment, Kaido, whose "armor" is far higher than Kozuki Oden's and whose recovery ability is stronger, can definitely recover after taking the attack from Tsugikuni Yoriichi. This can be seen from Yoriichi's attack just now.
"We need to attack the weak points, just like we would kill a ghost."
"Can we kill him only by chopping off his head?"
Yoriichi Tsugakuni raised his head slightly and looked at Kaido's neck. After a little thought, Yoriichi Tsugakuni's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Navy, I see you!"
Kaido suddenly saw Tsugikoku Yoshiichi disappear from the spot and growled excitedly. Without turning his head, his pupils spun in his eye sockets. The next second, he quickly raised the mace in his hand and smashed it towards his side.
"clang!!!!"
A loud bang sounded from above the battlefield.
At Kaido's side, the figure of Yoriichi Tsugakuni suddenly appeared and slashed at Kaido's neck with a knife, but his slash was blocked by Kaido's mace.
The two men's weapons collided with each other, and the terrifying domineering aura spread out in all directions.
Admittedly, Kaido's domineering Haki is not as strong as Tsugakuni Yoriichi's, but his physical strength, after being blessed by the awakened devil fruit, can make up for the lack of Haki.
Devil Fruit Awakening.
Kaido's recovery ability is not only enhanced, but his physical functions are also fully enhanced by the devil fruit: strength, speed, eyesight, and skin perception.
Even though Kaido's Observation Haki cannot capture the trace of Tsugakuni Yoriichi, unlike before when he could only passively take the blow, now he can see Tsugakuni Yoriichi's movements with his own eyes!
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's movement speed, which exceeds the limits of ordinary human vision, cannot escape Kaido's eyes now!
The slash was blocked by Kaido. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi narrowed his eyes slightly, exerted a little force on his hand, tilted the blade, and with the force of Kaido's counterattack, he flipped his body in the air and came directly to the other side of Kaido. The long sword in his hand stabbed directly at Kaido's temple.
There was only a brief moment between the two attacks.
Kaido had no time to react, but at this moment, the black flames surrounding Kaido actually condensed together and pounced towards Tsugumi Yoshiichi in mid-air.
Such a change was something that Tsugumi Yoshiichi had not expected. He did not dare to use his own flesh and blood to gamble with the power of the black flame. With domineering aura surging around him, he flew directly into the air.
The black flames missed and stopped after two or three meters, then surrounded Kaido again.
Feeling the surging domineering aura above his head, Kaido raised his head and looked at Tsugakuin Yoriichi who was floating in the air. The shock in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and then he grinned at Tsugakuin Yoriichi and said:
"What's wrong?"
"Your movements seem to have slowed down!"
"Are you tired? Do you need to rest for a while?"
Kaido casually carried the mace on his shoulder and looked up at Yoriichi Tsugikoku in the air.
Without any further ado, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni swung his sword quickly in mid-air and launched four or five flying slashes directly at Kaido.
However, it seemed that Yoshikazu Tsugakuni was not aiming when he launched the attack.
Only one slash was aimed at Kaido, and according to Kaido's judgment, the other slashes could not hit him.
While swinging his mace to block Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's attack, Kaido couldn't help but laugh:
"What's wrong? Tsugikoku Yoriichi."
"Not only has his movements slowed down, but now even his slashing attacks can't find their targets?"
“It’s really ugly!”
"I value you so much!"
"You disappoint me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido's mace smashed directly into the attack coming towards him.
“Buzz!!”
"Hah!" As the slash fell, Kaido couldn't help but let out a low roar, feeling the terrifying power transmitted from his arm. When he swung the stick, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's slash was directly broken by him.
At the same time, the other slashes launched by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also fell to the ground. The powerful and domineering slashes did not directly embed into the ground like before, but exploded directly the moment they touched the ground.
For a moment, dust flew everywhere, directly covering Kaido's figure. At the same time, the figure of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who was floating in the air, also fell down quickly and disappeared in the smoke and dust.
The change was obvious. Kaido did not dodge the stones that were flying like bullets. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly with a look of vigilance.
“It’s coming!”
Kaido was alert, and his pair of vertical pupils carefully observed the surrounding environment.
At this moment, the direction of the smoke behind Kaido suddenly changed, rushing towards Kaido. Noticing something strange behind him, Kaido swung his club and smashed it into the strange cloud of smoke behind him. The fierce attack also brought about hurricane-force winds, which completely dissipated the smoke behind Kaido.
“!!!”
However, when the flying dust settled, Kaido saw nothing in front of him.
Kaido's heart was filled with alarm, but at this moment, a pitch-black blade suddenly appeared at Kaido's neck. The moment it approached Kaido's neck, a terrifying domineering aura surged directly behind Kaido. Kaido had no time to defend himself, and could only use his aura to infuse his body and the scales on his neck.
"puff!!"
The long sword fell, and the blade, which had turned red, was stopped abruptly after it penetrated Kaido's neck three or four centimeters.
The scales on Kaido's neck were shattered, and his artery ruptured, causing hot blood to spurt out.
Yoriichi Tsugakuni's bright red shirt was stained with Kaido's blood, and seeing that his slash failed to cut off Kaido's head, Yoriichi Tsugakuni's eyes widened slightly and he exerted force with his arms.
However, at this moment, the black flames surrounding Kaido also moved rapidly. Part of it quickly attached to the wound on Kaido's neck, and part of it rushed towards Tsugakuin Yoshiichi.
Kaido was stabbed on the neck by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, and he finally reacted and swung his stick at Yoshikazu Tsugakuni.
"laugh!"
The red blade went one centimeter deeper, and at this moment, Kaido's stick arrived first and hit Tsugikuni Yoriichi's body directly.
In an instant, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's figure suddenly disappeared in front of Kaido.
After knocking Tsugumi Yoshiichirō away with a stick, Kaido felt dizzy in his head, his left knee softened, and he half-knelt on the ground. He quickly slammed the mace in his hand into the ground to stabilize his body.
He stretched out his left hand and quickly covered the wound on his neck, his eyes filled with fear of surviving a disaster.
Large amounts of blood spilled onto the ground, but within a few breaths, the bleeding had been stopped by Kaido's muscles. At the same time, under the cover of black flames, the wound on Kaido's neck was rapidly healing.
The dizziness caused by the severed nerves in his neck disappeared, and Kaido's originally rapid breathing quickly slowed down.
"Hehe. Hahahahahaha!"
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, you almost killed me!"
“Hahahahaha!!”
The shock and dizziness from having his neck chopped off really made Kaido experience the feeling of death. After a near-death experience, Kaido slowly stood up and burst into laughter.
He had not personally experienced this kind of life-threatening battle for many years. Now that he had experienced this feeling, Kaido felt that his life had become a little brighter.
He doesn't have any big dreams. He loves fighting and may even seek suicide in the future because he has no opponents. Does he really want to die? No, Kaido just wants to experience the feeling of approaching death again. Only in this way can he feel that he is still alive.
Unlike Whitebeard who likes to adopt sons, Kaido likes to adopt powerful subordinates the most.
Because those powerful subordinates can make him feel happy.
When facing Wang Luffy, Teacher Kai also showed his admiration and invited Wang Luffy to become his subordinate.
The battle with Yoriichi Tsugikuni made him feel the thrill of being on the verge of death.
Kaido is very happy now!
After being knocked away by Kaido, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni flew more than ten meters and crashed directly into the ground. When Kaido's neck injury recovered, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni slowly stood up from the hole on the ground.
Yoshikazu Tsugakuin swung his sword, and the dust around him was suddenly dispersed. Seeing Kaido had recovered as before, Yoshikazu Tsugakuin also held his waist with one hand and straightened his waist with a calm expression.
“Click—”
After a slight sound, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni slowly breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Kaido with a knife in hand.
Kaido's attack can be considered powerful and heavy, but under the powerful and domineering control of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, it is unlikely that an attack of this magnitude will injure Yoriichi.
Although he has not eaten the mythical beast-type devil fruit, Tsugakuni Yoriichi does not have the terrifying recovery ability like Kaido, but in terms of defense, he is not inferior to those top strong ones.
This was the first time Kaido successfully hit Yoriichi Tsugakuni. Seeing Yoriichi Tsugakuni stand up from the ground safely, the smile on Kaido's face faded.
In the previous battle with Yuichiro Tsugakuni, he had always been passively attacked. Kaido originally thought that Yuichiro Tsugakuni was an "assassin" type of person with fast speed and high attack power, but poor defense.
The reason why he continued to fight with Yoshikazu Tsugakuni even though he was being stabbed all the time was because Kaido felt that with someone like Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, the fight would end immediately if he could successfully hit him with a stick.
However, in fact, not only is Tsugikoku Yoshiichi fast and has strong attack, but his defense is also quite terrifying.
Even when he swung the Thunder Bagua with all his strength at the critical moment of death, he couldn't even hurt Yoshikazu Tsugikuni.
Yoriichi Tsugakuni looked at Kaido who had recovered as before, and Kaido looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuni who was unharmed.
At this moment, both of them felt the difficulty of the opponent in front of them.
However, at this point, Tsugumi Yoshiichi actually relaxed. He didn't think it mattered that he couldn't do anything to his opponent in a short period of time.
Just keep fighting and keep consuming!
Kaido is a Devil Fruit user. If he makes a mistake and is thrown into the sea by Yoriichi Tsugakuin, the battle will be over! Even if Yoriichi Tsugakuin is unable to throw Kaido into the sea, once Garp and Zephyr clear out the pirates on the island, Kaido will still be dead.
Yes, your devil fruit ability, Kaido, has awakened and you are full of energy.
But under the siege of the navy, even Kaido was exhausted and died in despair.
In fact, there is no need to wait until that time, because Tsugakuni Yoshiichi suddenly realized that Kaido was different from the Kaido he had fought before.
At this moment, Kaido's breathing has become a little rapid. Although it is very subtle, Yoriichi Tsugikuni still noticed it keenly.
This happens after a lot of physical energy is consumed.
"Kaido."
"I'm curious, how long can you maintain this state?"
After sensing that Kaido had suffered a huge loss of physical strength, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni stopped talking and rushed towards Kaido with his sword in hand.
As Kaido's eyesight became stronger, Yoriichi Tsugakuni no longer hid his aura, and the terrifying domineering aura spread around with Yoriichi Tsugakuni's attack.
And Tsugikuni Yoriichi also used his superb sword skills to repeatedly avoid Kaido's defense and left scars on Kaido's body.
The frontal attack by Yoriichi Tsugikuni made Kaido even more frightened.
Previously, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had relied on his speed beyond the limits of his vision and his sense of hearing to leave wounds on his body. However, now, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was relying on his overwhelming skills to completely suppress him.
On the coast, Tsugakuni Yoriichi's figure flashed between the shadows of Kaido's stick. Several times, Tsugakuni Yoriichi's figure almost brushed past Kaido's attacks. And every time Tsugakuni Yoriichi's figure flashed past Kaido's attack, Kaido would instead have an extra sword wound on his body.
Yuichiro Tsugikuni is like an elf dancing on the tip of a knife. His body is agile and there is an inexplicable beauty in the way he swings the knife.
Of course, Kaido really has no way of feeling this kind of beauty.
After just a few dozen rounds, his body was covered in blood. Although the wounds could heal quickly, the blood on his body would not dissipate. As for Tsugakuin Yoshiichi, the only thing that was left was his clothes being a little dirty.
Not on the same level. He and Yoriichi Tsugikuni are not at the same level in terms of fighting skills!
Kaido felt weak for the first time, and under the overwhelming strength of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Kaido couldn't help but want to retreat.
This is also the reason why Tsugakuin Yoshiichi didn't fight Kaido head-on. Given the absolute difference in skills, if he couldn't kill the opponent with one blow, the opponent would run away.
And it was when Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Kaido were fighting fiercely.
A whalebone ship was slowly approaching the coast of Readchelled Island. On the mast of the whalebone ship was a skull flag with two white beards.
The legend of the sea, the Whitebeard Pirates, entered the battlefield of Readchiled.
"oh!!!!"
“So strong!!”
"Kaido of Beasts is completely suppressed! That Tsugikoku Yoriichi is so strong!!!"
On the deck of the Moby Dick, Marco was holding a telescope, watching the battle on the distant shore. Seeing that Yoriichi Tsugakuni had easily suppressed Kaido, he couldn't help but sigh.
"What a magnificent swordsmanship!"
"I want to fight an opponent like this!"
Aside from Marco, the other crew members were also holding binoculars, watching the distant battle as if they were watching a spectator's excitement. Vista stared at Tsugikuni Yoriichi through the binoculars and sighed.
Hearing Marco's words, looking at the battlefield in the distance, Thatch also said in amazement:
"Marco, it's a good thing you listened to your father and didn't make contact with Tsugakuin without permission."
"Otherwise, you might be a dead bird."
"This domineering aura is truly terrifying!"
As Thatch spoke, he couldn't help but look at the deck.
As the Moby Dick approached the battlefield, the young pirates on the ship could not withstand the domineering aura that spread out during the battle between Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Kaido. At this moment, many people on the deck had fallen to the ground.
"Dad, are we going to stop the fight?"
After observing the battlefield through the telescope for a while, Thatch looked at a warship on the sea in the distance.
The warship was only a few hundred meters away from the Moby Dick. Through the telescope, Thatch could see the battle going on on the warship.
Mihawk now had fewer than ten opponents left, though he also bore some horrific wounds. However, the aura emanating from Mihawk not only did not weaken, but became even more vigorous.
Whitebeard looked at the battlefield on the island, then looked at the Dawn warship, shook his head, and said:
"It's useless to persuade him now."
"Marco, take a look, take a look."
"How strong is the future of that navy!"
"Look at this!"
"This navy will be the most powerful enemy you will face when you sail alone in the future."
"In this battle, Kaido should be able to hold out for another seven or eight days."
Whitebeard walked to Marco's side with the help of Kusanagi, patted Marco on the shoulder, and spoke loudly to the crew.
