Haku wore a sneer, for the next technique was not so easily blocked!
"Ten Thousand Thunders!"
Haku used the electricity he generated within the wide-ranging thunderclouds created by the Ark Maxim, using it to stimulate the electrons in the thunderclouds!
Finally, the rioting electrons fell toward the ground and formed countless bolts of lightning, and everything covered by the thunderclouds fell within the range of the attack!
Kaido on the ground looked up at the dense, packed lightning in the sky, and his scalp tinged with endless numbness!
That was because there was simply too much lightning descending from the sky!
"Rising Dragon: Fire Eight Trigrams!"
This was clearly his most powerful move, yet Kaido had no choice but to use this technique to fend off Haku's Ten Thousand Thunders!
His idea was quite good, and this powerful move quickly blocked the vast majority of the Ten Thousand Thunders attack!
Yet the remaining fraction still brushed past his technique and struck Kaido's body!
Soon, Kaido, subjected to the attack of the Ten Thousand Thunders, had his entire body glowing with a bright blue light!
By the time the light dissipated, Haku's massive Azure Dragon body had been charred utterly black by the electricity!
Kaido, having weathered this attack, suffered extremely severe damage both to his external physique and his internal organs.
Turning to Haku, after releasing the Ten Thousand Thunders technique, he was now panting heavily, gasping for breath in huge gulps!
The thunderclouds above Haku dissipated directly after releasing their lightning, and not a single shred of electrical factor remained in the sky above!
As for the ark, due to its continuous overloaded operation, the entire vessel was currently in a paralyzed state to prevent overheating!
The Ark Maxim had activated its protective mechanism!
It could be said that after releasing this ultimate move, Haku was temporarily unable to use the formidable power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
(Some might ask why the protagonist didn't just release the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ultimate move, Thunder Welcome? I can only say that this technique is capable of reducing an island to dust. There were still so many people inside Wano Country, and as someone on the Marines' side, he certainly couldn't use such a devastating move! Of course, if the protagonist were on the side of the pirates, I would have written just such a scene straight out!)
Ding! Quest completed!
Such a mechanical voice sounded beside Haku's ear, and in his ears, this sound was simply like celestial music!
Ding! Reward has been issued, please check it yourself, Host!
After listening to the system's chime, Haku no longer wished to fight Kaido. His task was already complete, and to keep fighting would ultimately be a waste of time!
Yet this battle was not something Haku alone had the final say in.
Having endured the attack of the Ten Thousand Thunders, Kaido had already stood back up!
"Hahahahahaha! Exhilarating! Absolutely exhilarating!"
Kaido cast his gaze back toward Haku and slowly spoke, "Brat! I didn't expect you to have such a powerful move up your sleeve!"
He raised his head and glanced up into the space above, where the sky no longer contained a shred of thundercloud.
"It seems you can no longer use such a powerful technique! Brat, have you decided how you want to die now!"
For a moment, Haku was left somewhat bewildered by Kaido's words!
He said to Kaido, "In your view, have I reached my wits' end after unleashing Ten Thousand Thunders?"
Kaido wore a cold sneer, as if to say, well, obviously?
"Absurd!"
Haku curled his lip in disdain, his left hand reaching forward to pull a white, bone-like mask out of the void!
Seeing Haku produce a mask, Kaido immediately laughed aloud, "Hahahahaha! Kid! And you said you weren't at your wits' end—are you going to put on a mask and get ready to run away now!"
"Noisy!"
With that, Haku placed the Hollow Mask upon his face! A towering pillar of red and black light surged forth from Haku's body!
Watching Haku don the white mask, the smile on Kaido's face gradually froze.
He felt a powerful pressure bearing down on him, like a mountain crushing his chest and making it hard for him to breathe.
What... kind of power is this? Kaido felt a shock in his heart, sensing that he was no longer facing a mere human, but a ferocious giant beast.
Before he could finish the thought, Haku, who had still been in front of him a moment before, was already standing right before his head!
So fast!
The thought flashed through his mind, and Kaido felt one of the dragon horns on his head get sheared right off!
"Bastard! You damn brat, you're dead!"
An enraged Kaido spewed a breath of fire in Haku's direction! Yet this move was easily dodged by Haku once again!
After dodging Kaido's Breathes Fire, Haku's figure flickered and he reappeared behind Kaido.
"Fuzhan!"
With this single blade stroke, a wound stretched straight across Kaido's body from back to belly, opening up a long, gashing cut!
And the blood flowing from the cut was black—evidently Kaido's blood!
"Awooo!"
Feeling the excruciating pain on his body, Kaido raised his head toward the heavens and let out a heaven-shaking dragon roar!
Kaido instinctively lashed out with his tail, intending to swat Haku down from behind!
Yet Haku merely executed a teleportation step, swiftly vanishing from behind his opponent!
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
A low, hoarse laugh came from above Kaido's head! Before he knew it, Haku was already lying atop Kaido's head, laughing and rolling around!
"Damn brat!"
Kaido manipulated his tail to strike at Haku on his head, but not only did he fail to hit him, a large lump swelled up on his own head instead!
"Hahahahahahahahaha!"
Haku, floating in the void, laughed even louder, as if he had just seen something utterly hilarious!
Of course, Haku himself did not want to act this way!
Yet he truly could not control his own thoughts, because the negative emotion bestowed upon him by this Hollow Mask was 'Wrath'.
Able to mock and tease his opponent, he would burst into continuous, roaring laughter, and this laughter carried an intensely mocking effect!
Yet when someone attacked him...!
Just as he finished speaking, Kaido's Breathes Fire struck Haku dead-on!
Ordinarily, given Haku's abilities, he could have easily dodged this move. But affected by the negative emotion, he failed to control his own body!
The moment Kaido struck Haku's body, the aura around Haku shifted instantly.
A monstrous intent to kill erupted continuously from him, and though Haku's body was still suspended in mid-air in the distance, he no longer emitted any laughter!
Upon seeing this change, Kaido felt only that his entire surroundings were fraught with danger!
It felt as though countless malicious entities were lunging at him from all directions!
By the time he snapped back to his senses, the dragon claw on his right arm had already detached from his body!
What! How could this be? Exactly when did this happen? But why doesn't my wound hurt?
Before he could finish thinking, Haku's body appeared before Kaido's head, his cold, murderous, and enraged gaze locked firmly onto his eyes!
