"Bankai!"
Rosen looked at Kaido standing in the sky, his body erupting with a raging torrent of Conqueror's Haki.
Boom
Centered on itself, streaks of Haki black lightning, like colossal sea monsters emerging from the deep sea, raged outwards in all directions.
Sizzle
As hundreds of Haki black lightning bolts spread out, forming a lightning net that encompassed the sky and the sea, a terrifying sound of tearing silk suddenly rang out.
Enveloped in Flame Clouds, Kaido, standing in the sky, seemed to sense something and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Upon looking, he was startled to realize that the sea of clouds higher up behind him had split open.
Sizzle
Suddenly.
As before, a second tearing sound rang out.
Kaido's pupils shifted downwards from the corners of his eyes.
What comes into view is a vast ocean chasm, centered on Rosen, stretching for a thousand meters across the sea.
Not only the ethereal sea of clouds, but even the Grand Line could not withstand the pressure of this Conqueror's Haki, tearing open a rift in the ocean.
Boom
The moment the sky and the sea split open, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, instantly filling the gap in the sea of clouds, and at the same time connecting with the sea, completely submerging the chasm on the sea surface.
From afar, it looks like a world pillar connecting the sky and the sea, supporting the great sea route, towering between the sky and the sea.
A moment later.
As the beam of light dissipated, a huge golden crescent moon hung in the sky and sea.
Directly in front of the crescent moon.
A proud figure stood in the void.
He was dressed in a black and white death knight's outfit, floating in the air.
Aside from the clothes, the biggest change is to the Zanpakutō.
"Tensa Zangetsu".
at this time.
Rosen's twin swords, Zangetsu, had disappeared, leaving only a Zanpakutō that seemed to be a combination of long and short Zangetsu, with a black iron chain connecting the hilt.
"Is this Zangetsu's Bankai?"
Kaido stared intently at the Tensa Zangetsu in Rosen's hand.
He discovered that, compared to all the Zanpakutō Bankai that Rosen knew, the difference between Zangetsu's Shikai and Bankai was the smallest.
If you disregard the changes in the Shinigami form, it's almost as if the short sword Zangetsu was inserted into the hollowed-out part of the long sword Zangetsu, ultimately forming this Tensa Zangetsu.
"Yes!"
Rosen glanced at Kaido, his voice still lingering in the same spot, not having reached Kaido's ears in time, while he had already brought Tensa Zangetsu with him and instantly appeared in front of Kaido.
Speed, exceeding the speed of sound.
And many times more.
Clang
A flash of light.
The Tensa Zangetsu, wreathed in Conqueror's Haki and black lightning, had already slashed across Kaido's body.
Pfft
A centipede-like cut extended from the shoulder to the abdomen, and then crimson dragon blood gushed out from the cut.
"when?"
The dragon scales had been cleaved open, and dragon blood had been sprayed across the sky, but Kaido's gaze remained fixed on the spot where Rosen had just stood.
He looked closely and saw that Rosen was still standing on the sea with his knife, but in front of him appeared another Rosen, making a slashing motion.
"An afterimage?"
Upon seeing two Rosens, Kaido's eyes widened, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Just as he was about to wield the Hassaikai in his hand to retaliate, he felt a deep, bone-chilling pain in his chest.
Compared to Rosen's speed, pain seemed to arrive late.
They arrived late at that moment.
Along with the pain, a wave of weakness swept through his body, causing him to pause as he was about to unleash the Hassaikai.
And Rosen.
He left an afterimage in place, flashed in front of Kaido, and unleashed a supersonic slash. Instead of continuing the pursuit, he turned away from Kaido and refused to look at him again.
"Raimei Hakke!"
Upon seeing this, Kaido's astonishment immediately turned into anger.
So what if I got stabbed?
Who do you think you are?!
Even if he were to be disemboweled, or even if his heart were pierced, his spine broken, or his throat stabbed, he could still continue fighting.
However.
Just as Kaido raised the Hassaikai with both hands, wrapped the staff with Conqueror's Haki, and prepared to smash it down on Rosen, who had his back turned, the cut left on his chest by Tensa Zangetsu, which had torn open his dragon scales, suddenly emitted a burst of golden light.
With his back to Kaido, Rosen walked towards Marine Headquarters on his own.
He didn't turn around to face Kaido's furious attack, nor did he even stop walking.
He just muttered something under his breath.
"Getsuga Tenshō".
The words had barely left his mouth.
Kaido's furious slam of the Hassaikai abruptly stopped above Rosen's head. It wasn't that he didn't want to unleash this attack, but the golden light emanating from his chest continued to expand rapidly, transforming into a powerful slash that shot straight into the sky, splitting the boundless sea of clouds in two.
It's like a golden crescent moon soaring into the sky, or a golden sword mountain rising from the sea.
The overwhelming force of the attack engulfed Kaido's entire body, interrupting his Raimei Hakke.
Just like the changes in appearance between Zangetsu's Shikai and Bankai, which are the smallest among all Zanpakutō.
The changes in power between Zangetsu's Shikai and Bankai are also the smallest among all Zanpakutō.
At the beginning of the process, it was the crescent moon in the sky.
When it is Bankai, it is also Getsuga Tenshō.
However, the size and power of the crescent moon are completely different from before.
Just one cut.
After the golden crescent moon that shot straight into the sky dissipated, Kaido remained standing in the same spot, but the Hassaikai he had been holding slipped from his grasp.
at the same time.
The wound that had been torn open by Tensa Zangetsu had become even larger, and the internal organs and bones were clearly visible.
His indestructible body.
It is blessed with dragon scales in the form of a Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon.
All of this seemed meaningless in the face of the Getsuga Tenshō just now.
Pfft
The instant the Hassaikai were released, a stream of crimson blood spurted from the wound on Kaido's chest.
then.
His knees buckled, and he knelt down straight in front of him, his back to the person in front of him.
"Cough cough!"
Kaido's face was pale and his features were contorted. He stared at Rosen's back as if he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, it aggravated the wound in his chest, causing the blood to gush out even more violently, and he also vomited blood.
This is the Getsuga Tenshō released by Tensa Zangetsu after Bankai.
After being imbued with Conqueror's Haki, a single strike was enough to overwhelm Kaido, the king of one-on-one combat among the Four Emperors, who also had the thickest health bar and the strongest defense, causing him to kneel on the ground.
Not only that.
Originally maintaining his Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon form, he was also gradually losing the traces of his transformation after being hit by a Getsuga Tenshō.
Dragon horns.
Dragon Tooth.
Dragon scales.
And there's a dragon's tail.
Everything is slowly disappearing.
It seems that the injuries have become so severe that even maintaining the transformation into a Mythical Zoan is difficult.
Is it over?
"That's right."
"The Four Emperors!"
Seeing Kaido, who was slashed back to his original form by Rosen wielding Tensa Zangetsu, Borsalino, standing in the inner bay of the headquarters, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Of the Four Emperors, the one he fought the most was not Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, or the deceased Ochoku, but Kaido, who repeatedly challenged the Marine Headquarters to one-on-one battles.
That's why.
He knew very well just how difficult Kaido was to deal with.
Even if two Admirals were deployed, and they could completely suppress Kaido and beat him to a pulp, it would still take a day and a half to deplete Kaido's health bar and bring him down completely.
This is the weight of the strongest creature on land, sea, and air.
However.
After using Zangetsu's Bankai, Rosen only needed one strike.
Kaido knelt on the ground, bleeding profusely.
In other words, Rosen's individual combat strength has surpassed that of two Admirals combined, or even the sum of three Admirals.
This could not help but horrify Borsalino.
