It had been so long since he had encountered
such a blood-boiling battle!!!
It was not like getting dragged into a prolonged battle against elemental monsters like the Three Admirals, which was neither satisfying nor clean.
"Don't disappoint me so quickly, Kaido!!!"
Black-red Haki seemed ready to swallow heaven and earth. Conqueror's Haki Infusion, unique to monsters of the older generation, wrapped around Austin's entire body.
