A Battle with All Their Trump Cards Revealed (Part 1) / A Battle with All Their Trump Cards Revealed (Part 2)

But after Arthur defeated Mihawk and took the title of the World's Greatest Swordsman, he became someone the Five Elders should take seriously.

Those who have mastered the Great Swordsman's slash are all worthy of respect.

After the 'King of Knights' defeated 'BIG-MOM' Charlotte Linlin, they paid even more attention to this person.

The Shichibukai are there to balance the power of the seas, and the 'King of Knights' alone is above the entirety of the Shichibukai.

This is a pawn that allows the Five Elders to see the World Government to reclaim the New World seas.

That's why, before it was determined whether the 'King of Knights' was a member of the Revolutionary Army, even if he was the murderer of the Celestial Dragons, the Five Elders were reluctant to discard this pawn.

Such a useful pawn, even if he makes a big mistake, the politician still can't bear to discard him.

This is what all politicians think!

Therefore, the Five Elders decided to first observe the outcome of this battle to see if the 'King of Knights' was qualified to help them withstand the pressure from the Celestial Dragons.

Chapter 243 A Battle Where All Trump Cards Are Revealed (Part 1)

Whoosh--boom!

While the world and various powers were filled with doubt and curiosity about the possibility that the King of Knights and Kaido had fought long ago.

The two main characters in this battle had already begun a battle of wills.

A powerful gust of wind swept past, and two overwhelmingly powerful auras erupted from Arthur and Kaido respectively.

Kaido's fierce tiger eyes glared at Arthur, and his overwhelming Conqueror's Haki was like a stampede of Beasts, giving people a suffocating feeling of crushing pressure.

Faced with Kaido's intimidating presence, Arthur also met the attack head-on, his emerald green eyes staring at Kaido without fear.

'Rumble...!!'

The azure sky gradually darkened, covered with dark clouds, and even the sea was affected, the seawater became heavy, and the sound of the tsunami was deafening.

Some birds that passed through 'Weilasituodi' were instantly knocked unconscious and fell from the sky the moment they entered the area where the two invisible auras collided.

The live Image Bird is completely unaffected!

After all, it cost 1.2 billion and took more than half a year and several version updates to release the latest version.

'Sizzle sizzle...'

Suddenly, wisps of electricity crackled on the mane of "Don Starion" beneath him, before the entire body vanished, its surface shimmering with electric light.

'Snap--whoosh!'

With "Don Starion" no longer beneath him, Arthur landed gracefully.

The crisp sound of the plane landing was like the signal that the battle had begun.

A gigantic fist, carrying a thick layer of air pressure, slicing through the atmosphere with a sonic boom as it hurtled toward Arthur.

'Mana Burst (A)--'

'Armament Haki (A+)--'

'Inazuma Kick--'

Arthur lifted his right foot, and his white boots began to crackle with wisps of electricity, soon becoming blazing with light.

With a push of his left foot, he slowly leaped into the air, unleashing an incredibly powerful Inazuma Kick that struck Kaido's fist like a beam of light.

'Boom!!'

Another deafening sound rang out, startling the birds and beasts in the distant jungle who had not yet recovered from their fright, causing them to scatter and jump about once again.

The ground within a hundred meters of Arthur and Kaido was dented as if struck by a giant's fist, forming a top-shaped crater.

'Boom--!'

As dust and mist rose, deafening sounds began to emanate from the thick, brownish-yellow smoke that contained flashes of blue and white lightning.

The dust and fog grew thicker and thicker, gradually forming a mushroom cloud shape as the sounds amplified, and began to rise into the air.

The sheer scale and grandeur of the scenes, though obscured, truly tantalizes the audience.

His face was so anxious that he wished he had superhuman abilities to dispel the mushroom cloud.

'Boom!!'

'Boom!!'

Arthur's right fist crackled with lightning as he unleashed a dazzling beam of light at Kaido using a technique similar to a Lightning Punch Inazuma Kick.

Kaido, however, caught the beam of light with one hand, and with a squeeze of his hand, which was wrapped in powerful Armament Haki, he shattered the beam into a shower of sparks.

'Whoosh--Boom!!'

He then clenched his fist, stepped forward with his right foot, and unleashed a powerful punch that distorted the airflow, blocking Arthur's view like a mountain.

'250 Million Volts Thunder Dragon!!'

Propelled by the recoil of the beam, Arthur flew backward, reaching out to grab something to the side. Pieces of light emerged from the dust and mist, quickly coalescing into a slender, silvery-white Holy Lance.

Gripping the gun tightly with both hands, Arthur twirled it and threw it forward with a vengeance.

"Roar--!` ~!"

Unlike its usual deep roars, this time the Thunder Dragon's roar was deafening, like thunder.

The slender, silvery-white Holy Lance transformed into an enormous Thunder Dragon, churning through the dust and mist, suddenly dispersing the massive mushroom cloud and revealing a body more than three times the size of Kaido.

The Thunder Dragon appeared lifelike, no longer with its rough appearance. Its body, which was over a hundred meters long, was covered with sky-blue scales, and its eyes were as majestic as a god's.

The two dragon horns on its head, like lightning rods, flickered with wisps of electricity, which converged and made a constant crackling sound.

"¨HO--"

The dragon's mouth opened wide, and its thunderous roar resounded in the ears of the world.

The Thunder Dragon soared into the air, reaching a height of over two hundred meters. With a flick of its tail, it instantly transformed into a cascading blue-white waterfall, which then surged down like a tsunami, engulfing Kaido completely.

'Boom--!'

The waterfall appears breathtakingly beautiful, but those with great strength can sense its terrifying power.

The instant the waterfall hit the ground, the incredible electrical heat instantly carved a giant crater into the earth, with bubbling lava flowing along its edge. The slow yet astonishing speed of the impact sent Kaido plunging into the ground.

The entire large island began to tremble violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

This scene captivated countless women, their beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder as they were utterly mesmerized by the blue and white waterfall.

The powerful figures (of Zhao's) stared solemnly at the faintly swaying island, their hearts filled with apprehension.

At the same time, I'm also wondering if such a terrifying technique will be effective against Kaido.

Arthur showed them the result through his actions.

Before the waterfall had even disappeared, Arthur stood beside the giant crater bubbling with lava and reached out to grab what lay beside him.

Golden light quickly coalesced and transformed into a magnificent Excalibur, which he held in his hand.

Upon seeing the appearance of this King's Sword, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

You should know that compared to this awe-inspiring Rumble-Rumble Fruit...

What the world knows more about is the 'King of Knights' King's Sword and the world's number one Swordsmanship.

Looking up at the ever-shrinking blue and white waterfall that was about to seep into the pit, Arthur suddenly raised Excalibur high.

Chapter 244 A Battle Where All Trump Cards Are Revealed (Part 2)

[Third update!]

"Splash...!"

The sound of waves crashing against the shore reached my ears.

After the blue and white waterfall disappears completely like a vertical strip of cloth, a bottomless pit is revealed.

The enormous crater, resembling a black hole, did not last long.

Soon, infrasound waves began to emanate from the giant crater.

Before long, the azure seawater rapidly filled the giant pit.

Standing not far from the giant crater, Arthur held the magnificent Excalibur aloft, his closed eyes seeming to be searching for something, or perhaps foreseeing something.

'Bang...'

At that moment, a towering column of water suddenly gushed out from the giant pit.

'Swish--'

At the same time, Arthur, who was holding Excalibur, suddenly opened his closed eyes. A glint of light flashed in his emerald green eyes, and his pupils contracted slightly.

In that instant, time seemed to stand still, and everything remained frozen within it.

Everything felt so fragile, yet so close, as if a mere swing of a sword could sever it.

Grasping tightly to this feeling, Arthur Excalibur and swung it down.

A dazzling golden light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Upon seeing that golden light, over 90% of the people subconsciously rubbed their eyes, revealing expressions of confusion, as if questioning whether they had just witnessed a hallucination.

The remaining 10% of people had expressions ranging from solemn to fearful to astonished... a truly fascinating array of emotions.

"What terrifying talent! He's already reached this level in just one year?" Shanks exclaimed, taking a sip of his drink.

"Possessing a golden light that even Mihawk finds powerless, this level of slash, while exaggerated, is still inferior to that golden light in terms of power," Ben Beckman said calmly.

"Hahaha... I bet Mihawk's fighting spirit is boiling over after seeing this, and he can't wait to challenge 'King of Knights'!" Shanks said with a laugh.

"Amazing..."

Just as Shanks said, in a town on the Grand Line, Mihawk, sitting in a hotel and looking at the screen outside the window, did indeed show an excited smile and couldn't help but say with admiration.

Only those who have reached the level of a Great Swordsman can understand the power contained in that fleeting light.

That's the only advantage a swordsman can have over those with special abilities!

The Great Swordsman's Slash!

'Boom--!'

'Click!'

In the fleeting instant of the golden light, the gushing water column split in two, and a huge figure was blasted away as if by a powerful air cannon. Its heavy body tumbled more than a dozen times in the air, flying a long distance before finally crashing to the ground, creating a deep crater.

At the same time, a crisp cracking sound came from the ground.

The giant crater, bombarded by '250 million volts of Thunder Dragon ', had its edges baked by magma, and along the northeast direction, in the direction from which the golden light flashed, a straight and smooth ravine broke off from 'Weilasituodi'.

The ravine quickly filled with seawater, and even several nautical miles outside the island of 'Weilasituodi' were cut open by an unbreakable horizon, creating a deep abyss in the ocean.

"Ouch, ouch... Haha, finally I'm getting the feeling!!"

Kaido, who had been blasted hundreds of meters away, slowly climbed out of the crater, revealing a deep sword wound on his back that exposed his snow-white, ferocious bones.

This intense pain made Kaido's aura even more ferocious, and he couldn't help but roar with excitement.

"What a Monster!" Arthur clicked his tongue slightly.

Although he already knew about Kaido's immortality from the last battle, he didn't expect that the Great Swordsman's slash, which could easily split mountains and cleave seas, would only cause him minor injuries.

Moreover, it was a direct hit; if it were anyone else, even Whitebeard or Shanks, they would have been cut in two long ago.

Of course, this is on the premise that they do not offer any resistance.

Kaido was clearly not without resistance; his body was already covered in powerful Armament Haki, yet he was still slashed with a terrible sword mark.

"This is the only way..."
