The End

Sirius was seeing the power of monsters for the first time.

Kaido and Kozuki Oden's fierce battle had already lasted for most of the day. Centered around their battlefield, the land within several kilometers had been shattered beyond recognition.

Enormous craters, bottomless fissures—everything spoke of the strength of the two combatants.

"That's outrageous!"

Sirius sighed from the bottom of his heart. "It's practically a natural disaster!"

Kaido and Oden's clashes were mostly close-quarters brawls, but the results they brought about were catastrophic.

A casual slash from Kozuki Oden could send a small mountain flying, while a blow from Kaido's Spiked Club could easily smash out a massive crater.

"They're both incredible!"

Yamato, lying on Sirius's back, was too excited to contain herself. "That Kozuki Oden can actually fight Father to this extent!"

In Yamato's heart, her father was the strongest. She had never seen a man like Kozuki Oden before, someone who could stand evenly matched against her father.

While the two watched without blinking, Kurozumi Orochi, not far away from them, grew even more anxious. He bit his fingernails, cold sweat covering his forehead.

"This is bad, this is bad! That bastard Oden can actually fight Kaido to this extent! He isn't going to win, is he?"

"Hey! Mushitsuki! Semimaru! Think of something already! Go kill that bastard Oden!"

Kurozumi Orochi snapped angrily.

"Please rest assured, Lord Orochi."

Fukurokuju said calmly, "Kozuki Oden no longer has any chance of winning. As for why, please look over there."

He pointed in a certain direction.

Orochi looked where he pointed and saw King and Queen walking over.

Their clothes were already tattered, and they appeared to have suffered some injuries, but one thing was certain: they had won.

The reason was clear from the Red Scabbards being brought over behind them, captured by Beasts Pirates soldiers.

After a long and intense battle, King and Queen had finally defeated all the Red Scabbards.

"Guhahaha! Good, good!"

Orochi's face immediately lit up. He clapped delightedly. "Well done, King and Queen!"

"Even if that bastard Oden really manages to defeat Kaido, he definitely won't have any strength left to fight!"

How could an exhausted Kozuki Oden possibly have the strength left to defeat King and Queen?

Victory was already in their grasp!

Sirius and Yamato also saw King and Queen approaching. Naturally, King and Queen saw them as well.

"Why are you two here?"

King walked over and asked coldly.

Before Sirius and Yamato could answer, Queen spoke first with a teasing grin. "It's that thing everyone keeps talking about, right? Rebellious adolescence. They must have hit their rebellious phase."

King shot the fat bastard a cold glare. "Shut up!"

Then he looked at Sirius and Yamato. "We'll discuss everything else later. Since you're here, behave yourselves and stay close to us!"

"Got it!"

Sirius answered cheerfully.

Uncle King was actually very easy to get along with.

But then Sirius asked curiously, "Uncle King, who do you think will win, Uncle Kaido or that samurai?"

Earlier, he had been more inclined to believe Kaido would win, but now it seemed that Kozuki Oden was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

"Muhahaha, don't say stupid things, kid,"

Queen mocked. "How could Boss Kaido possibly lose?"

"Although this guy is an idiot, he's right."

King said calmly, "Kozuki Oden is indeed a powerful man, but he no longer has any chance of winning."

Sirius was somewhat puzzled. "Is that so? But the two of them seem evenly matched the whole time."

"Yeah, yeah, Father doesn't seem to have the advantage either." Yamato was curious too.

The battle between the two monsters was especially grueling. Neither held the upper hand.

"Precisely because they're evenly matched, Kozuki Oden is guaranteed to lose," Queen laughed. "Muhahaha! If it comes down to endurance, how could he possibly beat Mr. Kaido, a Mythical Zoan?"

Sirius instantly understood. Kaido's ability had surely already awakened. With monster-level recovery and endurance, if Kozuki Oden could not crush him with an overwhelming advantage, Kaido would inevitably wear him down to death.

Indeed, he was already doomed to lose.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Kaido and Kozuki Oden's fierce battle had lasted nearly three days.

Just as King and Queen had said, during those two days, the scales of victory in the once evenly matched battle between Kaido and Kozuki Oden had gradually tipped toward Kaido.

"Hah! Hah! Hah!"

Kozuki Oden's face had turned exceedingly pale, his breathing was especially ragged, and every muscle in his body trembled slightly.

"Can't go on anymore, samurai!"

Kaido roared loudly. "Is this where it ends?"

Compared with Kozuki Oden, Kaido was undoubtedly in much better condition. Though he had quite a few wounds on his body, his breathing was only slightly hurried. He was not seriously affected at all.

"What nonsense! I'm still far from done!!"

Oden roared with all his might and lunged forward again. "Until Wano Country opens its borders! I will never stop!"

"Wororororo! Come on! Come on! Let the battle reach even greater heights!!"

Kaido's body swelled, making him resemble an evil demon as he swung his Spiked Club to meet the attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Their fierce battle continued.

But Kozuki Oden was too tired. He was truly far too tired.

His stamina was far inferior to Kaido's. As the scales gradually tipped, his disadvantage became ever more pronounced, forcing him to expend even more energy and strength to deal with Kaido's attacks.

He truly was on the brink of despair now.

The arms wielding his two swords had become sore and weak. His mind had even gone blank, and his eyes could no longer accurately track his target.

Even someone as powerful as Kozuki Oden finally faltered for an instant at this moment, exposing an opening in that instant.

His one and only opening.

But it was enough.

Descent of the Three Worlds—Pulling into Naraka!!

Kaido soared into the air, dragging a long trail of black lightning behind him as his iron club, wrapped in Two-Color Haki, came crashing down.

Then it struck Oden squarely on the head.

Boom!!

The earth instantly caved in. A ring-shaped shockwave abruptly spread outward, while the wild gale it kicked up sent dust flying through the sky.

"Is it finally over?"

Sirius, sitting on a small mountain in the distance and eating barbecue, leaped to his feet in excitement as he faced the gale. "Uncle Kaido won!"

As expected, Kaido was still stronger!

"Father won!"

Yamato was very happy too.

She did not know much about Kozuki Oden yet. She was simply happy about her father's victory.

"Lord Oden!"

The Red Scabbards, tied to upright pillars, burst into tears at the sight.

It was over.

Wano Country's final resistance had come to an end here.

The invincible Kozuki Oden had been defeated today.
