Chapter 198: Heavy Strike on Kaido
"Worororo! Not bad, kid! State your name!"
The massive Kaido of the Beasts flipped and twisted in the air, appearing above Namakura Island, looking down at the "ants" below with great interest. The appearance of Kaido of the Beasts terrified all the subjects of the Kura Kingdom, plunging them into fear.
"I am Kael, the Emperor of the Goa Empire!"
Kael flew in the air, his demonic wings flapping, on par with Kaido of the Beasts. Their Conqueror's Haki clashed wildly, with black-and-red lightning sparking everywhere.
"So you're that... exiled one..."
Kaido of the Beasts burped, speaking indifferently. But the next moment, an exaggerated gravity pressed down on his massive dragon body. The giant Kaido of the Beasts plummeted at an astonishing speed.
"Boom!!"
Kaido of the Beasts, who hadn't even reacted, crashed directly onto Namakura Island, making the entire island tremble.
"The dragon fell!"
The King and Prince of Kura Palace, along with a group of Hereditary Titles, screamed in terror.
"Ahahaha! Die, strongest creature on land, sea, and air!"
When Aramaki saw Issho succeed, countless vines instantly surged from the ground, binding Kaido of the Beasts, who had crashed into a giant pit. Countless Armament Haki vines frantically stabbed at Kaido's scales, searching for weak points. He wanted to drain this Kaido dry!
"What is this!"
Kaido's massive dragon body was suppressed by super-strong gravity and bound by countless vines, instantly sobering him from his half-drunk state. These enemies seemed a bit troublesome this time! It was as if he had encountered 2 Admirals.
"Roar roar roar!!"
Kaido of the Beasts roared towards the sky, and a powerful Haki surged out, forcefully breaking free from the suppression of the Gravity Fruit ability, and frantically pulling at the vines on his body. But his short claws could hardly reach his long dragon body. Kaido immediately shed his giant dragon form, entering his hybrid state.
"Kaido!!!"
At this moment, an angry roar descended from the sky, like a meteor, plummeting rapidly! Kael held the Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword, his demonic wings flapping into afterimages at extreme speed, and Issho even gave Kael a gravity boost. Kaido of the Beasts' eyes narrowed, and a red light of Observation Haki flashed.
But countless vines bound Kaido relentlessly, and Issho's Gravity Blade swung out again, giving Kaido another gravity suppression.
"How could this be!"
The strength of the double-binding force was terrifying, which completely sobered Kaido, and his face turned a bit ugly. If he didn't know these were people from the Goa Empire, he would have thought he was ambushed by powerhouses from Marineford. Kaido of the Beasts couldn't even swing his Hasshōkai to counterattack in time; his hands, feet, and waist were tightly bound by countless Armament Haki vines. The terrifying gravity on his body made his feet sink continuously into the ground.
"Imperial Sword · Starfall!!!"
Kael roared, holding the Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword with both hands, unleashing all his Haki. Black-and-red lightning splattered, air currents surged, and at an incredible speed, he pierced towards Kaido's heart, which was bound. The terrifying sense of crisis made Kaido of the Beasts frantically unleash Haki, forcefully shifting his body.
'Boom!!'
Kael gripped the hilt with both hands, his entire body stepping on Kaido's chest. The blade of the Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword completely embedded into Kaido's broad chest. Terrifying sword energy pierced through Kaido's body, shooting out from his back and into the earth, creating a gigantic abyss pit, and the sea behind it directly split open, forming a chasm of seawater.
"Ugh~"
Kaido of the Beasts opened his huge mouth, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. An angry roar emitted circles of sound wave giants, sweeping across the coast, and the ground was even shaken into the air.
"It worked!!"
The Hereditary Titles cheered excitedly. Could they have just killed a Four Emperors like that? The blade of the Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword inside Kaido's body frantically devoured Kaido's blood. The Vampire Battle Armor on Kael's hand also extended 2 fangs, piercing into Kaido's body along the wound, frantically sucking blood. Aramaki's Armament Haki vines also found an opportunity, wanting a piece of the pie, frantically inserting into the wound, expanding it, and devouring blood and nutrients. Spartan's tail snake mouth also instantly extended, taking the opportunity to bite Kaido of the Beasts, doing his part.
"Ah ah ah!" "Get lost!!"
Kaido of the Beasts was a bit stunned by these 3 bastards' strategy of unleashing powerful attacks upon meeting. Under an unprecedented sense of crisis, endless scorching flames erupted from within Kaido's body. This arrogant Four Emperors was actually forced to unleash his strongest Great Flame Dragon Torch by Kael, Issho, and Aramaki. The terrifying high temperature could directly burn the ground into magma. The countless vines binding Kaido, even with Aramaki's Armament Haki covering them, were still burned and melted by the scorching high temperature.
Kael immediately pulled out the Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword, his wings flapping frantically, and his Wind-Spraying Boots erupted, instantly bouncing him away from Kaido's chest.
"What a monster!"
Kael looked at Kaido of the Beasts, who was surrounded by high-temperature flames, his eyes extremely solemn. He had taken advantage of Kaido not being serious yet, launching a preemptive strike to injure and exhaust Kaido of the Beasts. Otherwise, a full-powered Kaido would be even more difficult to deal with.
Kaido of the Beasts frantically unleashed scorching flames, burning Aramaki's endless vines. He also had to unleash an excessive amount of Haki to forcefully expel the strange poison of the Nue and Issho's gravity suppression. Kaido was incredibly angry; it had been over 10 years since he had suffered such a great loss. He touched the wound on his chest, and it actually couldn't heal in a short time! Besides the X-shaped scar left by Kozuki Oden on his body, it seemed another scar would be added today. Amidst his anger, Kaido of the Beasts also saw an opportunity for 'near death'. These bastards from the Goa Empire are really strong!
"Even the combined attack of His Majesty and the 3 Dukes couldn't take down Kaido!" "Is this the vitality and recovery power of the strongest creature on land, sea, and air!" "The Four Emperors are truly terrifying!"
The Hereditary Titles who were shaken far away were filled with nothing but shock. Looking at the abyss pit blasted by Kael and the deep-sea chasm he cleaved, they knew how powerful an attack Kaido had endured. But such a terrifying attack still couldn't kill Kaido of the Beasts, which was too terrifying. If it were them, they would probably have been pulverized by the Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword.
"Ahahaha, the Four Emperors' blood is truly delicious!"
Aramaki licked his lips, savoring the taste of Kaido of the Beasts' blood, and that immense life force. This made him feel incredibly obsessed. And the Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword, having extracted more blood, had increasingly demonic patterns, imbued with the power of lightning, wind, and fire. After the Pink Dragon ability, which was copied and derived from the Mythical Zoan Kaido of the Beasts ability, obtained the blood of the Mythical Zoan Kaido of the Beasts, it actually began a further evolution and perfection.
'Master, this blood is too delicious!' 'I feel like I can awaken even faster!'
The voice of the Seven Star Sword Spirit roared excitedly in Kael's mind. And the blood absorbed by the Vampire Armor from Kaido of the Beasts was also feeding back to Kael, allowing Kael's fully unleashed power to rapidly recover.
Kaido of the Beasts dispersed the scorching flames on his body, looking at Kael and the 3 Dukes with tyrannical eyes. Feeling the powerful strength of the 1 Emperor, 3 Dukes, he showed no intention of leaving, instead erupting with Conqueror's Haki with surging fighting spirit...
