World's Strongest Creature / Excalibur with Five Seals Released

If the Admiral her fear, then the Four Emperors brought her an abyss of despair.

"That guy, is he planning to crash into an island and commit suicide?" Arthur thought to himself as he watched the receding tsunami and Kaido, his face covered in dark lines and his expression unreadable, his head buried in the sea.

"You stay here, I'll be gone for a bit," Arthur suddenly said, releasing his arms from the two women.

"Arthur, be careful." Robin immediately understood and grabbed Arthur's hand, earnestly instructing him.

Seeing this, Nami's eyes widened as she looked at Arthur in disbelief and said, "Arthur, you don't mean to challenge one of the Four Emperors, do you?!"

"Ah... I want to test how much of a difference I have between myself and those four Monsters." Arthur reached out and patted Robin's hand, then ruffled Nami's orange hair, smiling slightly, "Don't worry! With 'East Starrion' here, I'll be fine."

"Hiss--"

After he finished speaking, the sound of horses neighing came from the horizon.

After saying goodbye to Nami and Robin, Arthur leaped into the air and landed steadily on the back of the King's Horse, transforming into a blue-white beam of light as he chased after the tsunami that was almost gone.

Challenging Kaido was Arthur's decision after careful consideration.

After annihilating Blackbeard Pirates, Arthur's strength increased by leaps and bounds. Including the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his overall strength, except for Mana, is now at the (A) level.

Arthur was absolutely certain that Whitebeard Pirates would come knocking on his door sooner or later.

Arthur wanted to know how much his overall strength still fell short of that of the Four Emperors.

"It's a bit useless, but I'll use this trick to say hello!" Arthur rode his King's Horse high in the sky, his astonishing speed quickly catching up. Looking down at the tsunami, he held the reins in one hand, while the other hand turned into lightning and disappeared.

"Divine Judgment-- ".

Chapter 152 The World's Strongest Creature

"Divine Judgment!"

'Call out--'

Hundreds of meters ahead of the tsunami, the sky suddenly lit up with a brilliant blue and white light, and a huge pillar of lightning descended from the sky.

'Boom--Crack!!'

The lightning bolt struck at a location seemingly calculated precisely, hitting the enormous black figure swimming freestyle exactly where it landed.

The exploding lightning, like a reflector, caused the surging tsunami behind them to flash with a blue-white light.

However, although the lightning bolt struck the huge black shadow accurately, its speed decreased slightly, but it did not stop.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning pillar shattered as if struck by something.

The huge black shadow continued swimming freestyle as if nothing had happened.

Looking up at the sky, Arthur clicked his tongue slightly and exclaimed, "That's terrifying!"

This "terrifying" feeling stems from being astonished by Kaido's defense, the "World's Strongest Creature" across land, sea, and air.

That move, Divine Judgment, was a compressed strike of 50 million volts of lightning, second only to the 60 million volt Thunder Dragon. Moreover, lightning is a natural element representing penetrability and destructive power, yet it didn't even qualify to catch Kaido's attention.

No wonder it's Monster with an immortal body!

"100 Million Volts Thunder Dragon!"

'Roar...!!'

However, Arthur did not feel resentful. Instead, he rode the King's Horse at a faster speed and flew to a high altitude in the sea hundreds of meters in front of Kaido.

The King's Horse beneath him both emitted dazzling blue and white light, as if they were working together to create an enormous Thunder Dragon, which let out a deep roar and charged down angrily.

'Boom--!'

"You little bug, will you ever stop?!"

The Thunder Dragon struck Kaido squarely on the head, the explosion sending up a surge of electricity that surged and crackled in the surrounding area.

This time, they not only stopped Kaido, but also enraged the Four Emperors who was focused on committing suicide.

With half its body floating on the water, it becomes much larger than an ordinary boat.

He had long, black hair, two horns on his head, a long beard, and a bare upper body with well-defined muscles that gave him a powerful presence. He had a scale tattoo on his left arm, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared at the sky. He roared impatiently.

"Kaido, the Beasts, let's have a fight." Riding his King's Horse, Arthur slowly descended. After reaching a certain height, he jumped down from the sky and landed steadily on the sea. He stood in front of Kaido as if walking on flat ground, a magnificent Golden Sword now in his hand, pointing it at Kaido he spoke.

Who are you?

Seemingly drawn to Arthur's presence standing on the water, Kaido's initially angry expression instantly turned to confusion. He reached into the sea, retrieved his sake jug, unscrewed the cap, took a large gulp, and exclaimed, "I remember now! That flying Pegasus, you're the bounty hunter who's recently gained fame, the one who killed one of Whitebeard's sons, right!"

"You little brat, you did a pretty good job. How about it? Want to bring your Pegasus and join my Sea Kings?" After recognizing Arthur, Kaido actually extended an invitation to him.

However, Arthur, who knew Kaido's dream all too well, said dismissively, "You want my 'East Starion,' don't you!"

"'Don Starion,' is that the name of that Pegasus? Very good, give it to me." Kaido nodded, readily admitting it.

Do you think it's possible?

"I don't care if it's possible or not! I'm going to have that horse, and if you don't give it to me, I'll beat you to death!!" Kaido roared furiously, his few words demonstrating what it means to be capricious and unpredictable.

Without a doubt, these are the most difficult people to get along with.

"Hehe!" Arthur smiled slightly, having already given up on the idea of talking.

It's definitely better to just take action when dealing with this kind of person.

'Whoosh--!'

With that thought, Arthur raised Excalibur high and slashed it down at Kaido.

A massive golden sword strike instantly split the sea, creating waves that surged towards Kaido.

'Whoosh--Boom!!'

However, the overwhelming golden sword pressure was shattered into a sky full of light by a single punch amidst a whooshing sound...

The power that erupted only forced Kaido back a few dozen meters, and that was because there was no foothold in the sea; he was completely unharmed.

"Such a weak and feeble strike, don't even bother showing it to anyone..." Kaido said angrily, "I remember you seem to have a golden light, hurry up and use it to see if it can kill me!"

"Although it wasn't a full-force attack, it seems that Swordsmanship (A+) level slash won't be able to break through his defense." Arthur muttered to himself. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the probing slash gave him a preliminary understanding of just how monstrous Kaido's defensive capabilities were.

Immunity lightning up to 100 million volts, smashing a top-tier swordsman's slash with a single punch is child's play.

Such defensive capabilities, coupled with corresponding strength, make this physique enough to give countless people headaches.

'Swish--'

The Excalibur in Arthur's hand vanished in golden light, replaced by a slender, silver spear.

"Are you deaf, brat?! I told you to use that golden light, why did you switch weapons?!" Seeing Arthur change weapons, Kaido more enraged, and an extremely violent aura erupted, pressing down on Arthur.

2.0

'Sizzle sizzle...'

Not to be outdone, Arthur unleashed his Conqueror's Haki. The two extremely domineering auras collided, and streaks of dark red lightning crackled in the surrounding air.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The Holy Lance in his hand began to charge, its blue and white light flashing intensely, with wisps of electricity swirling around it.

A pressure different from Conqueror's Haki spread out.

"Oh? That looks pretty impressive. Come on!" Kaido, who was initially furious, said with interest after feeling the oppressive aura.

With his upper body half-floating on the sea, Kaido made no attempt to interrupt, instead waiting for Arthur's attack.

"200 Million Volts Thunder Spear--!"

Chapter 153 Excalibur's Five Seals Unsealed

'Whoosh-- Boom!'

After charging for a moment, the Holy Lance transformed into a blue-white lightning pillar, which Arthur hurled towards Kaido.

The blue-white beam of light produced a sonic boom, directly blasting a massive mushroom cloud wreathed in arcs of electricity into the sea.

Even Nami and Robin, who were more than a dozen nautical miles away, could see the mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

Nami, in particular, whose body could sense the weather, suddenly tensed up.

"Ouch! Haha... You little rascal, well done!"

The mushroom cloud lingered for a long time before finally dissipating.

After the thick smoke dissipated, the scene that appeared was exactly the same as before.

The only difference was that Kaido waved his bloodied and mangled hands, letting out cries of pain and praise.

His tiger-like eyes held an intensely excited and menacing aura, giving the impression that he had his eyes on something interesting.

"What a Monster."

A whirlpool formed in the sea area several thousand meters around Kaido, and Arthur, standing in the whirlpool current, was amazed by Kaido's powerful defense, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

With his Observation Haki (A++), Arthur could clearly see Kaido's bloodied and mangled hands, wriggling like maggots, healing at a visible speed, even from this distance.

However, even when facing an island-destroying attack like Thunder Spear, Kaido didn't truly withstand it head-on.

At the most critical moment, he still raised his hands and used Armament Haki to block the attack of the Thunder Spear.

The price was that while his hands weren't broken, they became a bloody mess.

Kaido isn't so powerful as to inspire despair, but he's close.

The 200 Million Volt Thunder Spear was the weapon that wiped out Blackbeard Pirates. When unleashed, it was an island-destroying attack that could cover an area of several miles. It was one of Arthur's few trump cards.

Although it is known that each of the Four Emperors has different abilities, an ability that is disadvantageous in one situation may be very effective in another.

However, the sight of Thunder Spear only suffering minor injuries from the Thunder Kaido and recovering at an extremely fast pace still somewhat affected Arthur.

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve, brat? Show them to me! Where's that golden light? Before I kill you, please entertain me to my heart's content." Kaido, unconcerned about the injuries to his hands, stared at Arthur with great interest and said.

"Being underestimated? In that case, so be it." Arthur smiled lightly, unconcerned by Kaido's undisguised contempt, and even liking this attitude of looking down on him.

The saying, "The strong become arrogant, and arrogance leads to defeat," is an eternal Truth!

Apart from "Red-Hair" Shanks, all Four Emperors are rulers, and in some respects, Shanks is even more domineering than the others.

Of these four, Kaido is the least intelligent.

Or perhaps, his power was too great, and his immortality made him feel bored with the world, prompting him to seek something that could kill him.

So he challenged the Navy and the Four Emperors alone, suffering seven defeats and being captured 18 times, yet no one was able to kill him.

Over time, after Kaido was given the titles of the Strongest in Single Combat and the Strongest Creature on land, sea, and air, he stopped giving anyone but the Four Emperors a second glance.

Arthur could injure him, which excited him, but that was all.

This excitement stems from finding a toy.

If Arthur could inflict serious injury on him, or suffer a defeat like that of the Navy and the Four Emperors, then he would be worthy of Kaido's attention.

This contempt is both an insult and an opportunity.

This was, in Arthur's opinion, the best opportunity he could have.

Whether this opportunity is within reach or out of reach depends on whether Arthur has the magnanimity to accept it.

'Swish--'

With that thought, the Holy Lance in Arthur's hand vanished in golden light, replaced by a magnificent Golden Sword.

"Hahaha... Come on! Try to kill me, kid! This is your last chance!" Kaido shouted excitedly as he saw Arthur Excalibur.

A series of extremely domineering pressures formed air waves that erupted, causing the already distorted ocean currents to collapse from their original course.

Arthur did not use Conqueror's Haki to resist, but he was not affected in any way.

Before these external auras could even exert their influence, his entire being, the sea, and the air around him were already radiating a golden glow.
