"Descent of the Three Worlds: Infernal Fall!!"
Kaido's eyes turned crimson with rage, like burning flames, and his club, wreathed in black and red lightning, struck down like a bolt!
In an instant, a strong sense of danger surged through Luffy's heart like a tide, making all the muscles in his body instantly tense up, as if a bowstring had been drawn to its limit.
He quickly retracted his punch, crossed his arms, which glowed with a diamond-like black luster, like an indestructible shield.
He gazed at Kaido with excitement.
Boom!
A surging wave of air exploded like a volcanic eruption, dense lightning crisscrossed like silver snakes dancing wildly, echoing through the clouds!!
In just an instant, a huge pit appeared beneath Luffy, as if the earth had been torn open.
Rumble!
The earth churned like a stormy sea, as if several swimming snakes were rolling within it, and the entire island of Onigashima trembled violently!!
—Whoosh
Luffy's figure flew backward, skimming the ground like an arrow released from a bowstring, then his feet landed with a crash like meteors, plowing deep grooves into the ground, as if the earth had been scarred.
A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his arm trembled slightly, like a flickering candle in the wind.
"As expected of the Strongest Creature!!"
However, his eyes were brighter than ever, gleaming with wild excitement, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky.
He clearly felt that his bottleneck... was beginning to loosen, like ice melting under a spring breeze!!
Indeed, at the Yonko Commander level, every tiny bit of progress is like a small step when climbing a peak, extremely precious.
Most strong individuals reach their physical peak around 30 years old, while from 30 to 60, they meticulously hone themselves like artisans, striving for perfection through their understanding of Haki and combat experience.
Simply put, before 30 is a period of rapid development like a rocket, while 30-60 is a period of slow refinement like a snail... Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
On the other side, Kaido crashed violently onto the ground like a cannonball, his body covered in a layer of cold, hard dark-green dragon scales, like armor forged from steel, his vertical pupils staring intently at Luffy's figure like a hawk.
"Mr. Kaido, I'm sorry!!"
King's figure slowly landed beside Kaido, his eyes filled with guilt. In his opinion, as the second-in-command, allowing the boss to personally save him was a great humiliation.
"King, move back a bit!!"
Kaido's muffled voice sounded.
King looked up and saw Kaido's expression, as if facing a formidable enemy, revealing a deep apprehension that only appeared when confronting a peak-level opponent of equal strength!
King's gaze became serious, so his feeling was not wrong; Straw Hat Luffy truly possessed the ability to fight Boss Kaido!
Kaido ignored King, Sasaki, Who's-Who, Maria, and the others.
"Ororororo, let me see what you've got? How dare you cause trouble on Onigashima!!"
Kaido dragged his club with one hand, purple-black lightning swirling around it like a spiderweb, and charged towards Luffy across the ground as if teleporting.
"Then come on, Kaidou-sensei!!"
Black lightning erupted, powerful Haoshoku shook heaven and earth, and Luffy rushed towards Kaido with lightning speed.
"Thunder Bagua!"
"Thunder God: Iron Fist!"
Boom!
Like the cataclysmic collision of a meteor and the Earth, the atmosphere was instantly torn apart, as if split by an invisible giant axe.
A purgatorial hurricane roared out from the center of the two like an enraged dragon, shaking the entire island of Onigashima violently, making it sway precariously like a flickering candle in the wind.
During their collision, countless bolts of lightning burst forth, shooting skyward like silver snakes, causing the sea of clouds to disperse like a collapsing dam, creating a massive chasm.
'The sky... was torn apart!!'
King's pupils suddenly contracted, like a startled rabbit. He abruptly drew his long sword and plunged it heavily into the ground like a mountain, attempting to withstand this unprecedented pressure.
He stared blankly at the completely torn sky, a sense of insignificance welling up in his heart.
The Four Emperors are completely a bunch of monsters!!!
Majestic Haki erupted like a volcano, and both of them flew backward simultaneously like cannonballs.
However, the next second,
Their movements mirrored each other as they both stepped back, stomping firmly on the ground. The moment they stabilized themselves, they roared out again like lions.
The aura around them had not weakened in the slightest; it was even climbing steadily, like a burning flame, growing hotter and hotter!!
In a flash,
Kaido's figure once again burst forth with thunderous speed like lightning, streaking away like a meteor!
"Roaring Thunder Bagua!"
Luffy's fist, trailing black and red lightning like a cannonball, his entire body emanating black thunder, punched out like a god of war!
Bang!!
The air was torn apart again, emitting a crisp sound like shattering glass.
"Stimulating cells with lightning to greatly increase both strength and speed? Truly a monster!"
Luffy instantly recognized the principle behind Kaido's "Thunder Bagua," which could instantly defeat a Yonko Commander.
It could be said that "Thunder Bagua" was a complete combat power detector; aside from special cases like Marco, no Yonko Commander could withstand that blow.
Two figures, intertwined like lightning and phantoms, like two black flood dragons, crossed and collided in the night sky!!
The distant members of the Beasts Pirates couldn't even clearly see the two figures; even with their Observation Haki pushed to the extreme, it was like fumbling in the dark, without a clue!
Clang!
Boom!
The sound of metal clashing exploded, followed by a deafening roar.
At the same time,
Haoshoku +0.02, Haoshoku +0.02... Armament Haki +0.03, Armament Haki +0.03... Observation Haki +0.01... Physique +0.02... Strength +0.03... Devil Fruit +0.05... Feeling the changes and improvements in his body, Luffy's eyes were incredibly fervent.
All-around improvement?!
As expected of a T0-level master, Kaidou-sensei!
Zephyr, Rayleigh, that suspender-wearing fatso Queen... they're all weak. Luffy unilaterally declared, "Kaido is the most awesome mentor!!"
...On the other side, Wano Country, Udon!!
Rayleigh sat calmly on Queen's luxurious chair, sipping wine.
The surrounding Beasts Pirates and prisoners looked at each other, not daring to approach this old man!!
At the same time, Law walked out, carrying several pairs of high-purity Sea Stone handcuffs. Seeing the scene around him, his mouth twitched.
The plan was for Rayleigh to cause chaos, Law to steal the handcuffs, and then make a clean getaway.
As a result, Rayleigh went full berserk!!
Rayleigh took the Sea Stone handcuffs and said casually,
"That suspender-wearing fatso is quite strong; he can be your sparring partner!!"
Law's eyes widened as he looked at Queen in the distance.
Large pools of blood gushed from his chest, dripping onto the ground like a waterfall.
A sword mark piercing through his chest was visible, emanating crackling black and red lightning.
Queen's face was extremely pale, and the intense pain made his forehead sweat. But... he could still stand up!
One must know that Rayleigh adjusts his approach based on the person.
In his retirement state, he didn't want to kill anymore, so the force and Haki he used on the three were completely different.
However, in Rayleigh's estimation, the three should have been critically injured and unconscious.
Yet, there was a variable... Queen!
He didn't expect this suspender-wearing fatso to have such willpower!!
"What the hell kind of joke are you playing?!"
Queen let out an enraged roar. He didn't know Rayleigh, but that didn't mean he didn't know Law!
In his eyes, Law was just a novice, a low-level pirate who only played make-believe in Paradise.
How could he be compared to the handsome, dashing, and powerful him!!
"You want to use me as a whetstone? You'll chip your teeth!"
Queen instantly transformed into a giant Brachiosaurus.
Rows of machine guns extended from the shoulder of the Brachiosaurus's mechanical arm, instantly aiming at Law's figure.
In an instant, tensions were high...
