Chapter 290: Gion Goes on a Rampage! Hitting Him While He's Down? Is Today the Day a Yonko Falls?!
Golden Lion controls the field! Whitebeard deals damage! Red-Hair lands the finishing blow! The Marine launches a sneak attack!
What kind of god-tier lineup was this?!
Even if Captain Rocks resurrected, faced with this unethical mixed beatdown, he'd probably get beaten to a pulp, right?!
"GET... AWAY FROM ME!!!"
Kaido twisted his body madly, trying to use the Dragon Twister Demolition Gust to blow away these flies surrounding him.
But it was useless. Shiki's gravity firmly suppressed his movements. Whitebeard's tremor power interrupted his charging every time. Red-Hair and Gion were frantically opening wounds on his body.
BOOM!!!
Finally, with a loud bang, Kaido's massive body could no longer hold up. He was forcefully blasted down from the sky by these four terrifying forces!
BANG—!!!
The huge dragon body smashed heavily onto the sandy beach of the desert island, kicking up sky-high dust. The entire desert island trembled violently, looking like it would disintegrate at any moment.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The dust settled. Kaido had canceled his Azure Dragon form and returned to his tall, burly human form.
Only, the current him was covered in blood, looking wretched. One of the dragon horns on his head was broken. There were cuts and bruises everywhere on his body.
He leaned on his iron club, standing up unsteadily. Those bloodshot eyes stared dead at the four people landing around him, surrounding him.
"Good... Very good..."
"Jihahahaha!"
Shiki floated in mid-air, looking down at Kaido. His eyes were full of mockery, like looking at a wild dog with a broken spine.
"What's wrong, Kaido?"
"Weren't you barking loudly just now?"
"Continue? Go try hitting that shield again?"
Whitebeard slammed the Murakumogiri into the ground. Although he didn't speak, the mountain-heavy oppression on his body said everything—if Kaido dared to move again, the next strike would definitely be aimed at his neck!
Red-Hair shrugged helplessly. "Calmed down a bit, Kaido? We aren't targeting you. It's just..."
Shanks pointed to the distant Foosha Village, calm as ever. "Right now, no one can disturb that boss's business. Even you are no exception."
Gion gently exhaled a breath of turbid air. The famous sword "Konpira" in her hand was still dripping with scalding dragon blood. Her chest heaved slightly. Although she had the speed boost from the Rabbit Talisman, breaking Kaido's defense still consumed a considerable amount of stamina.
But at this moment, what flashed in those beautiful eyes was excitement and... biting killing intent!
She looked at the behemoth panting at the bottom of the crater. An extremely crazy, but incredibly tempting thought flashed through her mind!
This was Kaido! One of the Four Emperors of the New World! A top-tier scourge disrupting the peace of the world! Previously, the Marines couldn't deal with him because he couldn't be killed, because he couldn't be caught.
But now... this guy had been beaten into heavy injury! And there were three powerful "thugs"—Whitebeard, Red-Hair, and Golden Lion—around!
This was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If she didn't take this chance to pin him down here completely, once this guy recovered or entered that magical dungeon to become stronger... that would definitely be a disaster for the Marines, for the whole world!
Thinking of this, the red light in Gion's eyes surged violently! The long sword in her hand shook abruptly, emitting a clear ring of thirst for blood!
"Everyone."
Gion's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a bone-piercing chill.
"Since we've already started."
"Why don't we..."
"Just conveniently leave this big trouble here completely?"
Shua—!
Before her voice fell, Gion's blade was already pointing straight at Kaido's throat in the crater! Killing intent exploded without reservation at this moment! The temperature in the air seemed to drop dozens of degrees instantly!
The atmosphere around, which had eased slightly, instantly tightened to the extreme again!
"Oh?"
Golden Lion Shiki, suspended in mid-air, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. A few traces of playfulness appeared on his arrogant face.
"Jihahahaha!"
"Interesting!"
"I didn't expect the Marine chicks nowadays to have harder hearts than us pirates!"
Although Shiki was teasing verbally, dangerous light flashed in his Mangekyo Sharingan. It seemed... he was also interested in this proposal? After all, one less competitor wouldn't be a bad thing for him.
However, standing on the other side, Red-Haired Shanks frowned slightly. He slowly sheathed the famous sword Gryphon. He glanced at the murderous Gion, then at the silent Whitebeard.
"Vice Admiral Gion."
"Our goal is only to stop him from destroying Foosha Village."
"Not to start a new all-out war here."
Red-Hair's voice was calm, but the pressure of being a Four Emperor invisibly stated his attitude. Kill Kaido? Are you kidding! If Kaido really died here, the remaining lunatics of the Beasts Pirates would definitely go mad! The New World would be in chaos, the balance broken. This was definitely not the result he wanted to see!
"War?" Gion sneered. Her stunning face was full of sarcasm now. "Shanks. Isn't it laughable for you to say such things? As long as we kill him, the Beasts Pirates will be a pile of loose sand! Isn't this for the 'peace' of the sea?"
Gion took a step forward. The ground beneath her feet shattered instantly! She didn't want to listen to Red-Hair's nonsense at all! In this occasion where strength reigned supreme, reason? Only the sword in hand was reason!
"Konpira: Rabbit Talisman: Extreme Shadow Slash!!!"
BOOM!
Gion's figure vanished instantly!
This time, she held nothing back! She unleashed her fastest speed, her strongest slash! Target—Kaido's neck, which had already been chipped by Red-Hair!
DIE!!!
This strike was fast to the extreme! So fast that even Red-Hair was half a beat too slow to stop it!
Just as the fatal blade was about to slice open Kaido's carotid artery, at this critical moment!
Whoosh—!!!
A black flame suddenly descended from the sky! Like a meteor, it smashed fiercely in front of Kaido!
CLANG————!!!
The loud sound of metal clashing made everyone's eardrums ache! Sparks flew!
Gion's sure-kill strike was actually forcibly blocked by a long sword burning with flames!
"Hmm?!"
Gion's pupils shrank violently. The huge recoil forced her to take two steps back.
She looked closely. In front of Kaido, a tall figure wearing a black uniform with huge black wings on his back was kneeling on one knee, blocking there deathly tight!
Even though the web of his hand had been shattered by the shock, blood flowing down the hilt. Even though the black wings had been scorched black by the aftermath just now. But he still stood there like a mountain. Not retreating an inch!
Beasts Pirates All-Star!
"King the Conflagration"!
"Hah... Hah..."
King panted violently. The eyes exposed outside the mask were bloodshot. He stared dead at Gion in front of him. His voice was hoarse but carried a firmness that moved people.
"If you want to take Mr. Kaido's head..."
"Unless you step over my corpse first!!!"
Gion's eyes went cold instantly.
"King..."
"Do you think you can stop me?"
Although that strike was blocked, it was done in haste. If she really wanted to kill someone, a mere Yonko Vice Captain wasn't qualified to stop her footsteps!
