"Interesting..."
"I haven't tasted this level of damage in a very long time..."
After transforming into his dragon-man form, Austin looked even more terrifying and cold. He raised a hand to touch his chest.
The cross-shaped wounds overlapped, healing at an extremely slow pace.
After all, it was a powerful attack enhanced with Conqueror's Haki infusion. Even with the double buffs stacked on Austin's body, it was impossible for him to recover instantly.
Still...
It wasn't really a serious injury.
Austin was not Kaido, after all. If the latter had taken two such slashes head-on before he had fully developed,
blacking out on the spot would have been the least of it. He would probably have coughed up blood, with his combat strength dropping by ten or twenty percent.
But Austin merely sighed, touching that cross-shaped wound.
In just that brief moment, while it had not healed completely, blood was no longer flowing from it.
After resting for a while longer, it might even scab over directly.
"Looks like I need to get serious too!!!"
Kaido was still completely stunned. He truly had not expected Kozuki Oden's slash just now.
It flashed past in an instant, then blood sprayed from Austin's body, and now his state had begun to turn strange.
"What...!!!"
Before him, Austin in his fully transformed dragon-man form was already no shorter than him. More and more black-red lightning crackled around his body.
His terrifying aura burst outward without end. As he slowly crouched down, black-red lightning grinding across his body, his stance was practically identical to that of Garp, that Stat Monster.
"Come on. Let's see who falls first, Teacher Kaido... and the King of Endurance."
Austin clenched an increasingly dazzling cross-shaped red glow in his hand and appeared before Kaido in an instant.
