Twelve Hours

As night falls, the sea becomes calm and the moonlight casts bright shadows on its surface.

Two thousand meters below the surface, two figures kept a distance from each other, watching each other warily.

One of the figures was a Giant Beast about eighty meters long, covered in wounds, with two broken horns on its head and a huge wound on its head that was so deep that the bone was visible.

He has six legs, but two of them are somewhat twisted.

Six of its abdominal tentacles were broken, leaving only two, and the bony plates on its tail were shattered, making its situation extremely miserable.

Before him stood a muscular figure, ten meters tall, with one arm swollen and hanging limply, a broken horn on his head, and his body covered in wounds.

At this moment, the Giant Beast was lying on the back of a huge Sea King, biting and swallowing the Sea King's corpse.

The tall, humanoid creature stood beside the Sea King's corpse, tore off a piece of flesh, and put it in its mouth, chewing it greedily.

The Giant Beast and the humanoid creature were Xia Qiu and Kaido.

The two have been fighting for twelve hours now.

After such a long and fierce battle, both of them were exhausted several times, their Armament Haki was completely depleted, and their bodies were seriously injured.

"The situation is currently at a standstill."

Xia Qiu looked at Kaido and knew that the scales were slowly beginning to tip.

At first, he was at a disadvantage and was beaten badly by him, but after changing his tactics, he slowly turned the tide and injured Kaido while he was injured himself.

Xia Qiu's injuries are still quite serious, but the continuous supply of meat provides energy for repair.

This energy greatly slowed the deterioration of his injuries. Although the degree of repair was not as good as the degree of injury, as long as it continued, Xia Qiu could gain the upper hand.

What makes him stronger than Kaido is that his injuries can heal.

Kaido's subconscious is trying to avoid harm; he can tolerate losing a leg, but he cannot.

Even though he is fearless and has no fear of being injured, subconsciously he will still prioritize maintaining the integrity of his limbs.

Therefore, Kaido's attack intensity has begun to decrease significantly as his stamina is depleted, his Armament Haki is consumed, and he is injured.

Don't rush, keep playing.

Xia Qiu finished eating and didn't fight immediately. Kaido also sat there without launching an attack, twisting his left arm and pressing the joint back into place, but it would be difficult to use that arm for a while.

"You're good."

Kaido said, "I have never seen a beast fight me to this extent with its physical body. They all rely on their Devil Fruit ability. No one has ever made me fight so enjoyably."

"You're pretty good too."

Xia Qiu looked at him and said, "What a powerful physique."

If I were to eat such a powerful Kaido, how far would I evolve?

"Have you rested enough?" Kaido looked at Xia Qiu and stood up.

"Um."

Xia Qiu slowly straightened up, looked at Kaido, and said, "Come on."

boom.

The two clashed again and began to fight.

Are they still down there?

On a deserted island, on a ship, Queen looked at the Fish-Man who appeared before him and said, "Your squad should go down to scout every now and then and report back on the situation."

"Yes."

The Fish-Man immediately obeyed and left, while Queen looked somewhat surprised.

"It's been twelve hours."

Queen couldn't help but say, "To be able to fight Kaido for twelve hours, this Giant Beast is incredibly strong."

Even as one of the Calamities, they couldn't withstand a direct confrontation with Kaido for such a long time.

The Giant Beast and Kaido had been fighting for twelve hours.

"It can be resolved sooner or later."

Ken yawned, stood up and said, "I'm going to sleep. Call me if you need anything."

"All right."

Queen waved his hand and divided the combat group again, with six of the seven ships deployed and two ships keeping watch at a distance every eight hours.

Meanwhile, the air force also accompanied the ship on alert.

After doing all this, Queen suddenly sprouted wings on his back, soared into the sky, and landed on the watchtower. He folded his wings and remained motionless.

"Kaido hasn't come up yet."

On a deserted island, Mr. Christmas and Robin hid behind a spatial barrier, watching the distant ships at sea.

After Ace and his crew left, the Beasts Pirates ' fleet returned to the deserted island, stopping at its edge. After searching the island, most of the crew returned to their ships, but some rested on the island's edge.

Mr. Christmas, Robin and the others stayed on the deserted island, waiting for Xia Qiu's return. They evaded the Beasts Pirates ' searches multiple times and were temporarily safe.

"Let's leave first."

On Mr. Christmas Day, he called out to Robin, and the two of them walked away into the distance.

After traveling some distance, they returned to a tree at the foot of the mountain. The Space Door opened, and Robin leaned out and stretched out his hand.

Countless arms grew from the surrounding trees, spreading into the distance.

"No, there is no trace of the other party within a radius of one kilometer."

Robin said, "Moreover, apart from the corpses, there were only two or three ferocious beasts."

"That's good."

The Space Door opened on Mr. Christmas, and the two stepped out, sitting under a tree to rest. "We really have to thank the Beasts Pirates. They killed so many ferocious beasts on this island, which solved a problem for them."

"Yes."

Robin nodded, but his expression was very worried.

Don't worry about it.

On Mr. Christmas, he patted Robin on the shoulder and said, "Kaido hasn't come back, so the boss will be fine too."

"Um."

Robin nodded, but still clenched her hands tightly, and couldn't help but say, "But his opponent is Kaido."

"Yes."

On Mr. Christmas, someone said, "Kaido Strongest Creature on land, sea, and air. I wonder if the president can defeat him."

Both of them felt immense pressure when they thought about this.

Kaido's reputation is immense, and many even believe that as Whitebeard and several other legends grow old, Kaido is the World's Strongest.

Therefore, even though they all desperately wanted Xia Qiu to win, reason told them that the chances were slim.

"Wait a little longer."

Robin said earnestly, "I believe he definitely has a chance to win."

"Go to sleep."

Mr. Christmas looked at Robin and asked, "Who should be on alert first?"

"I'll go first."

Robin said, "I'll call you in the middle of the night, so we can investigate again."

"Good."

Mr. Christmas nodded, slowly leaned over, and rested her head on Robin's lap. "Let me lie down on your lap for a bit."

"Good night."

Mr. Christmas whispered softly, and he closed his eyes.

"I hope Little Qiu can turn bad luck into good this time too."

Robin sat there, looking at the bright moonlight, with a worried expression.

After parting ways with Xia Qiu, although she was worried about him and afraid that he might do something that would lead to a siege, she received the information that he had escaped.

But this time, Little Qiu is in danger, and the future is uncertain.

Robin then realized how worried she was about him.

Please stay safe.
