Seventy-Two Hours

Deep beneath the sea, Xia Qiu and Kaido exhausted to stand up. They lay there resting, trying to regain some strength so they could fight the enemy again.

The two are in a terrible state. Xia Qiu has lost sight in one eye, his first leg on the left and second leg on the right have been smashed, his tail is broken at the base, his scales are shattered, and his dorsal fin has been broken off.

Kaido suffered multiple fractures, his left arm was useless, and his left leg was broken and unable to support him. It was unknown how many bones were broken in his body, and his body was covered in blood.

"My weapon."

Kaido the flesh and blood of the Sea King, looking at his Spiked Club, which already had some fine cracks appearing on it.

This weapon had been with him for over a decade, and it was always effective. It was made of a hard alloy, which was second only to diamond in hardness, but far surpassed diamond in toughness.

Diamonds are brittle and can be cracked by a powerful attack, but this alloy remains undamaged.

Not only that, it is also wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant, maintaining extremely strong strength even at 1,000 degrees Celsius.

He fought Red-Hair, Red-Hair ' Gryphon couldn't cut through his weapon.

He fought Whitebeard, but even Whitebeard's young sword couldn't shatter this weapon.

When he subdued Queen, the latter's Black Blade, combined with Armament Haki, was unable to destroy his Spiked Club.

A few years ago, he attacked Wano Country, the country where Famous Sword originated, and no weapon could destroy his weapon.

However, during the battle with Xia Qiu, which lasted thirty-six hours, the weapon developed a crack.

"They're really tenacious."

Kaido looked at Xia Qiu in the distance and felt pressure for the first time. From the beginning, he was confident that he could defeat him, but now, the determination in his heart began to waver.

"Almost there, just a little bit more."

Xia Qiu lay in the distance, continuing to devour the Sea King's corpse, swallowing it in large gulps, and then letting the flesh inside her belly turn into rolling energy.

As his energy reached its peak and began to decline, Xia Qiu, using his weakened legs, charged towards Kaido. He wasn't moving very fast, but when he reached Kaido, he Kaido into him.

"Here we go again."

Kaido leg, gripped his Spiked Club, raised it high, and then slammed it down.

But the next moment, his arm stiffened.

Two tentacles wrapped around his arm, while Xia Qiu's mouth bit his left side.

"Tentacles? Didn't I break them off?"

Kaido tore off Xia Qiu's tentacles yesterday, but unexpectedly, they were still there.

"But that's all there is to it."

Kaido let Xia Qiu bite him, his right arm slowly bulging up before slamming down again.

The tentacle was torn off, and Kaido's Spiked Club smashed into Xia Qiu's head.

Click.

Kaido Spiked Club shattered instantly, and Xia Qiu's skull cracked open with fissures.

The immense force slammed Xia Qiu's head to the other side, but Xia Qiu used the force to forcefully swing her mouth to the side.

Zzz.

Kaido's left arm was bitten off by Xia Qiu. Xia Qiu bit Kaido's left side, but since she didn't have the outermost teeth, she could only use her back teeth to tear off Kaido's left arm completely.

Thump, thump.

Xia Qiu slowly retreated, feeling dizzy and her vision blurred.

I can't sleep.

Xia Qiu controlled herself, preventing herself from falling asleep, as a continuous stream of Evolution Energy surged into her body, repairing some of her injuries.

Xia Qiu regained some consciousness, but the pain in his head was still intense. He mechanically retreated while chewing on Kaido's arm, letting the blood flow out.

"It hurts."

Kaido looked at his severed left arm, then at his Spiked Club, his expression filled with regret.

His weapon was destroyed, and he also lost an arm.

My future strength will inevitably be affected.

But killing this guy would be enough.

Kaido had no intention of delaying any longer; wasting an arm to inflict a fatal wound was enough.

Kaido pulled off his belt with his right hand and used his teeth to tie it around his severed left arm to stop the blood from flowing out.

"You must be feeling really bad, right? You probably can't hold on much longer, can you?"

Kaido watched Xia Qiu's head shake incessantly, dragged his crippled leg toward Xia Qiu, a smile on his face, "Was it worth it to suffer such a serious injury for an arm?"

Kaido walked towards Xia Qiu, Xia Qiu had already swallowed Kaido's arm. Xia Qiu staggered backward, trying to avoid Kaido.

However, his steps were very unsteady, and the dizziness in his head made it difficult for him to maintain his balance. The Evolution Energy in his body was also exhausted, barely making him feel less uncomfortable.

Kaido hopped on one leg toward Xia Qiu, getting closer and closer to him.

Hurry up, hurry up.

As Kaido drew nearer, Xia Qiu silently prayed.

"Die."

Kaido arrived in front of Xia Qiu, and his right arm slammed down, aiming for Xia Qiu's head.

"They're here."

Xia Qiu felt a powerful energy erupt from within his body and immediately charged towards Kaido.

boom.

Xia Qiu and Kaido collided. Kaido was sent flying backward, while Xia Qiu was knocked to the ground.

"How can there be such powerful strength?"

Kaido fell to the ground, spitting out blood. He tried to stand up, but instead collapsed onto the ground and couldn't get up.

Even with the skull cracked open, there was still such great strength.

Kaido looked at Xia Qiu in the distance, waiting for his strength to recover. Once his strength returned, he would strike him again, and Xia Qiu would surely die.

Xia Qiu collapsed to the ground, her head spinning even more, but the energy within her body continued to surge.

"That's impressive. The strength of just one arm is so great."

Xia Qiu felt the Reinforcement Energy emerging in his stomach, which was no less than that of a Rear Admiral, and could even be compared to that of a Vice Admiral.

This energy is enough to increase Xia Qiu's physical strength and provide greater power.

Thank you, Kaido, for giving me that last bit of strength, allowing me to defeat you.

Xia Qiu was already at his limit, but eating Kaido's arm gave him an extra fighting strength.

"Paper Arts".

Xia Qiu released all her strength, then gently pushed off with her right legs, and her body floated with the ocean current, landing on the Sea King's corpse.

He opened his mouth and began to devour the Sea King's corpse. With each bite, his body was in excruciating pain; the movement of his jaws caused intense agony throughout his entire body.

However, he desperately chewed on the Sea King's corpse, swallowing chunks of Sea King flesh and blood. This flesh and blood transformed into Evolution Energy, repairing his injuries.

"It can still move."

Upon seeing this, Kaido's eyes narrowed, and he sat there with an expression of disbelief.

Why is this Giant Beast so resilient?

Damn it.

For the first time, Kaido felt the sensation of impending death, a feeling of being just one step away from falling into the abyss of death.

But this feeling doesn't frighten him; instead, it excites him.

bring it on.

Try killing me if you dare.

Kaido's eyes blazed with fierce fighting spirit, and the pain in his body transformed into mental exhilaration.
