The Real Deal Arrives
Boom!
Just as the group of Master Swordsman were experiencing a mix of joy and sorrow, worry and anxiety, a heavy missile fell from the sky and struck the summit of the mountain. The entire mountain shook violently, and countless tiny cracks instantly appeared in the ground, as if the mountain was about to completely collapse at any moment.
"Where's the Nightmare Brat? Get out here!" Amidst the billowing dust, the rough and domineering voice seemed to be a sonic attack, almost rupturing everyone's eardrums.
The next moment, a tall and burly man with long black hair, a pair of horns on his head, a beard like a dragon's whiskers on his mouth, scale tattoos on his left arm, and a naked upper body, emerged from the dust, making people feel as if they were in a barbaric era.
"Are you kidding me? Did he just jump straight down from the sky? How could a human possibly do that?" A Master Swordsman, caught off guard and still lying on the ground, muttered to himself, his worldview completely shattered.
"This... is this the power of the Four Emperors on the outer seas? It's truly... awe-inspiring!" A Master Swordsman's longing for the vastness of the sea grew stronger.
"Can a mere physique be this powerful? No wonder he's called the Undying Kaido!" Johnson gasped. Although he spoke eloquently, he had never witnessed Four Emperors- level figure in action before.
Even on the Sabaody Archipelago, Roy wiped them out almost without lifting a finger. He didn't get to witness the battle between Roy and Akainu afterwards, because if Ace hadn't intervened and saved them, they would have perished in the aftermath of Roy Akainu's fight. So, this was the first time he had ever witnessed the true top-tier combat power of the sea.
"Hasn't that brat arrived yet?" Kaido walked over to the group of Master Swordsman.
Looking at that ancient, god-like figure, the Master Swordsman' legs went weak, and they didn't even have the strength to turn around and run away. They couldn't even stammer out a sentence.
"Ah..." In just a few seconds, Kaido's last bit of patience was completely exhausted. He roared and swung his spiked club down. The powerful shockwave crushed several Master Swordsman into mincemeat, and even the part of the mountain where they were located was completely separated from the peak and fell off the mountaintop.
"That's too brutal! It seems they were right after all. Kaido is just a monster who only knows how to destroy!"
"If a casual strike can destroy part of the mountain, what will happen if they fight with all their might? Will this ancient Mount Fuji be destroyed today? Damn it, I'm starting to regret coming to watch the battle. I might even lose my life if I'm not careful."
The group of Master Swordsman retreated in unison, their faces extremely grim.
"Kaido, are you in such a hurry to die?" A giant dragon engulfed in black flames circled down from the sky, the voice coming from its back.
"A... a giant dragon? I must not have woken up properly to have this hallucination."
"After Dragon-Slaying Sword Master Ryuma, no such legendary creature has ever appeared in Wano Country. I never expected to have the honor of seeing one today!"
"Riding a dragon, is this the power of the Nightmare?"
Roy jumped off the dragon and walked down into the void. The dragon then transformed into a seven-colored ray of light, flowed into Roy's body, and disappeared.
"Kid, you're really slow." Kaido took a jar of fine wine that his subordinate threw to him and gulped it down.
"How can we deal with an enemy like you without careful preparation?" The Seven Star Sword slipped from his palm and was caught by Roy.
Kaido's expression turned serious. He sensed a long-lost aura of danger emanating from that eerie longsword, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Nightmare Roy, you're not bad, kid! Aside from that old man Whitebeard, you're the first opponent who's made my blood boil. Looks like today's battle won't be so boring." Kaido threw aside the sake jar he was carrying, brandished his spiked club, and charged at Roy. "Come on, kill me, or be killed by me. There won't be a third choice today."
Roy narrowed his eyes and chuckled inwardly, "Sorry, but I'm going to have to get a third ending today."
Roy was clear-headed. He realized that to kill a monster like Kaido, one would only have a slight chance if one's swordsmanship had truly reached its peak, and even then, it would only be a chance. Even Whitebeard couldn't kill Kaido, and even the behemoth that was the Marine Headquarters was helpless against him after capturing Kaido. It was clear that with his current strength, it was impossible for him to truly kill Kaido. Rather than wasting his energy, he should think about the problem from a different perspective.
"However, before that, let me first assess the strength of the Four Emperors."
The black Armament Haki instantly enveloped the Seven Star Sword, also covering the eerie green light. It cut through the air as if it encountered no resistance, emitting a violent trembling sound.
Roy could sense the intense, bloodthirsty aura emanating from the Seven Star Sword. If it could completely devour Kaido's essence blood like Kozuki Oden did, it might truly achieve its ascension and become the first and perhaps last supreme divine weapon in the world to surpass the Supreme Grade Sword. For now, it was doing its utmost to serve Roy.
The dazzling Sword Qi flew close to the ground, creating long furrows as if it were a plow sweeping across the ground. This kind of slash, which would be enough to destroy the world in the eyes of other Master Swordsman, was swept away by Kaido without dodging or avoiding it, as he swung his spiked club. The slash that was deflected did not dissipate, but flew from the mountaintop into the sky, violently tearing apart the thick Cloud Layer. At first glance, it looked as if the sky had been cleaved with an unhealable wound.
"As expected, a monster's only opponent is another monster!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a young sword saint. Did he start practicing swordsmanship from the womb?"
"What powerful swordsmanship! I am far from being a match for you," said the Kamiizumi Sword Saint, stroking his beard in a "shocked" manner.
Roy pursed his lips slightly. This Kaido abnormal defense and recovery abilities, but his strength was also not to be underestimated. You should know that with his current swordsmanship, plus the Seven Star Sword which is half a grade higher Supreme Grade Sword, any casual slash he made had the power to split mountains and cleave peaks. Yet this Kaido was able to send him flying with a single blow.
Kaido charged toward Roy without pausing for a moment, the earth trembling violently as if a colossal Sea Kings was frolicking. The ground he trampled in the middle of the way collapsed instantly. If Kaido were to be classified as one of the Three Calamities, the title of "Disaster" would undoubtedly be the most suitable for him.
Facing the dragon-like Kaido, Roy neither dodged nor avoided, but gently raised the sword in his hand. As if it were a phantom, his figure changed in a flash, multiplying into nine, and nine "Roy" appeared in an instant, surrounding Kaido in a coordinated attack.
