Kaido Reaped What He Sowed / A Day and a Night, Raigo

Endless radiance, like fireflies, floated upwards.

Dressed in white knight's robes, the hem fluttering even in the stillness, Arthur raised Excalibur and slowly closed his eyes.

The golden light, like grains, grew in number and covered an ever-expanding area.

One meter, five meters, ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters... one hundred meters!

This time, the area and quantity covered by the golden light reached an unprecedented extreme.

Correspondingly, the abundant Mana within Arthur's body was visibly drained away, flowing through his hands into the Excalibur.

'Whoosh!'

393

'Swish!!'

'Swish--!'

A dazzling golden light shone forth, each beam more intense than the last.

These flashes of golden light occurred five times in total.

After five times, the light on the sword reached its peak.

"Five seals broken -- EXcalibur!!"

In that instant, Arthur opened his eyes, a sacred and eternal light flashing across his emerald green pupils.

The Excalibur high in oath, was suddenly swung down.

'Boom--!'

A deafening roar drowned out everything.

The Mana transformed into light, which formed Golden Torrent that roared forth with unstoppable cutting power and contained the intense heat to evaporate everything.

At that moment, the world turned golden.

In this golden world, the equally golden seawater evaporates at an extremely rapid pace.

Endless mist rose up, only to be evaporated by the Golden Torrent; the seawater didn't even qualify to turn into water vapor.

Kaido, who was hit head-on, also turned into a white image.

Is he dead or alive?!

Was it a minor injury or a serious injury?

Or perhaps—completely unharmed?!

Chapter 154 Kaido Reaps the Bitter Fruit

The Golden Torrent stretched for several nautical miles, evaporating the seawater in its wake, making the ocean seem much smaller.

Even Nami and Robin, who were more than ten nautical miles away, could feel the changes in the sea and that incredibly familiar golden light.

Seeing Arthur use his ultimate trump card, Nami and Robin could no longer remain calm. They held hands anxiously, looking nervously into the distance.

The Golden Torrent lasted for quite some time before gradually dissipating.

After Excalibur's power completely dissipated, the sea returned to calm.

The Excalibur in Arthur's hand slowly transformed into golden light and returned to his body.

Not far in front of him was Kaido, whose upper body was floating on the water.

However, Kaido no longer had the same disdainful attitude he had shown towards Kaido as if he were a toy. Instead, he remained silent, exuding an aura of authority that seemed to rise from the ground like the calm before a volcanic eruption. The aura that spread out involuntarily was enough to instill a deep fear in many people with fragile minds.

Meanwhile, Kaido's situation is also not good.

Its tall and imposing body was surrounded by a large amount of white mist.

With his arms raised in front of him, the area below his elbows was now a jagged skeleton, the flesh and blood completely evaporated.

Even his muscular chest bore a long, bloody scar, exuding a pungent, meaty aroma.

Most importantly, Kaido's immortality, which allowed him to heal at an astonishing speed no matter how severe his injuries, suddenly stopped working.

It's not that it's ineffective, but the recovery is as slow as a snail's pace.

Kaido's hands, already injured by the Thunder Spear, were now exposed to Excalibur with a huge opening. Under the high-temperature evaporation of the Golden Torrent, the cells below Kaido's elbows were killed, leaving only snow-white, hideous bones that shimmered with a bright light.

If it weren't for Kaido's immortality, or the astonishing hardness of the bones in his hands, Kaido would likely have lost both hands, making him even worse off than Four Emperors Shanks Red-Hair.

"You brat, I'm angry! I'm going to kill you!" Kaido, who had never been so disheveled, raised his head, his murderous eyes fixed on Arthur, and said in a low voice.

'Call out--!'

After he finished speaking, Kaido's hands, which were nothing but bones, were able to move again, just like Brook's.

The enormous figure, like an arrow piercing the sky, stirred up a huge wave and shot towards Arthur.

"Thank you for your arrogance." Facing the massive shadow and waves that were engulfing them, Arthur's lips curled into a slight smile, and wisps of blue and white lightning swirled around him.

'100 Million Volts - Divine Judgment!'

'Whoosh-- Boom!'

His figure transformed into an Inazuma and vanished from the spot, easily dodging Kaido's rampage.

When he reappeared, Arthur was already high in the sky, his pale hands emitting the sound of intersecting electricity.

In the next instant, his wrist detached and transformed into a massive pillar of lightning, crashing down with a deafening roar.

A huge black hole was opened in the ocean, and a large amount of seawater poured down from top to bottom, as if filling a bottomless pit.

After a long while, the sea finally returned to calm.

Kaido has vanished without a trace.

However, Arthur's expression was extremely serious as he reached into his pocket and took out five coins.

However, Arthur's expression was extremely serious as he reached into his pocket and took out five coins.

'Zzzzz... Boom!'

The sound of electricity clashing rang out again, and the five coins detached from his palm, hovering in front of Arthur, their small size trembling slightly and flashing with orange electricity.

'Railgun: Five-Shot Barrage!'

Arthur raised his hand and pressed down, and in an instant, the five coins transformed into five beams of orange light that shot down.

Five beams of light swirled together, condensing into a massive orange meteor that crashed into the sea.

Coincidentally, just as the orange meteor was about to strike the sea, a huge black shadow appeared on the surface of the ocean.

With a deafening roar, Kaido, who had just swum to the surface from the sea, was once again sunk.

'Whoosh--'

This time, Arthur didn't wait for Kaido to surface; instead, he transformed into a blue-white beam of light and plunged into the sea.

Thanks to Kaido's arrogance, Arthur's Thunder Spear took effect.

Although it only caused Kaido injuries, the damage was more than enough.

Excalibur possesses two great powers: the unstoppable force of cutting and the extreme heat of vaporization that destroys everything.

Typically, the initial part of the Golden Torrent breaches the defenses, while the latter half seeps into the body, evaporating everything.

The Golden Torrent is like a virus; it will seep into any wound on its target.

If Kaido's hands hadn't been injured, even if Excaibur had managed to break through his defenses, it would have consumed a huge amount of his power, leaving him with far less power to cause such severe injuries.

It is Kaido's personality that has led to his current situation.

His situation, however, gave Arthur a glimmer of hope.

Undeniably, Kaido's immortality is indeed very troublesome. Even though the flesh and veins in his hands were evaporated, he could still move them and they were even automatically repairing themselves.

However, this self-repair process clearly comes at a price.

From the moment he challenged Kaido, Arthur had been using his Observation Haki (A++). He could hear Kaido's heartbeat quickening and could feel that Kaido's stamina was being rapidly depleted.

Therefore, he must press his advantage.

Seriously injured at sea—what a wonderful opportunity!

After Excalibur's overwhelming success, defeating the Four Emperors is no longer a dream.

'Boom--!'

A tremendous bolt of lightning ripped through the sea and shot skyward.

A dazzling display of blue and white fireworks lit up the sky.

Deep in the ocean, two figures, one tall and one short, are engaged in battle.

However, when facing Arthur, who is small in stature and incredibly fast, Kaido's movements in the sea appeared somewhat clumsy.

Every time Kaido angrily attacks Arthur teleports away to dodge. With the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Arthur's (A+) level agility completely outmaneuvered Kaido.

Chapter 155 One Day and One Night, Raigo

Kaido strong!

Incredibly strong!

In terms of defense, strength, speed, explosiveness, stamina, and recovery, it is enough to make countless people despair.

Without the power to break through Kaido's defenses, facing such a behemoth, fate would surely be lost.

Even if one possesses the power to break through Kaido's defenses, if one cannot sustain the damage, one simply cannot outlast that Monster with its astonishing regenerative abilities.

Unless you're someone like Garp, physical strength experts are no match for him.

Not to mention sword masters; unless they are Great Swordsman have mastered a deeper level of slashing techniques, they will either lose their swords and die, or be swatted away like flies.

With this abnormal physique, Kaido deserves the title of the 'World's Strongest Creature' across land, sea, and air.

Thunder Spear and Excalibur inflicted minor but serious injuries on Kaido. Arthur thought that by pressing his advantage, he could quickly defeat the first Four Emperors and gain an unprecedented system enhancement.

However, when he truly gave it his all and fought Kaido...

I just realized that I had oversimplified everything.

Even with his hands turned into hideous white bones and a deep scar on his chest that would require a great deal of stamina to fully heal, Kaido remains the Strongest Creature on land, sea, and air, his power breathtaking.

Regardless of whether Arthur used the terrain and speed to launch repeated attacks on Kaido and evade his counterattacks.

Kaido still didn't seem very tired.

Until Arthur aimed his attack at Kaido's hands, which were still healing, the lightning scorched the new flesh, further draining Kaido's stamina.

Eighteen hours later, Arthur was exhausted, Kaido finally appeared, looking disheveled.

Looking at it this way, it's hard to imagine that if Kaido had a place to stay on land, Arthur's idea of defeating him would be pure fantasy.

The eighteen-hour-long war of attrition gave Arthur the answer he wanted.

With his strength, he could fight Whitebeard and Red-Hair, who weren't particularly physically powerful, for a long time.

However, he is slightly inferior to Kaido, Monster whose Swordsmanship completely counters his own.

This doesn't mean that Red-Hair and Whitebeard are weaker than Kaido; it's purely a matter of elemental advantage.

This also confirms the claim that 'Kaido the strongest in a one-on-one fight'.

'Rumble...!!'

'Splash splash...

The battlefield had somehow shifted from the sea to the sea surface.

Relying on his ability to walk on water, Arthur fiercely fought Kaido, whose upper body was floating on the water and who was in a very passive position.

It was less of a battle and more of a one-sided attack and defense.
