Teaming Up with Yamato to Fight Kaido! Three Years

His own attacks were lively, but in reality, they had no effect at all.

Ian wasn't surprised by this in the slightest.

Teacher Kai's physique was already inhuman, and with the Azure Dragon Fruit's defensive boost, even Luffy's Gear Fourth barrage couldn't break his defenses.

His physical defense was even higher than Ian's.

Punching and kicking would have no effect, even if the Winged Dragon Fruit greatly enhanced his strength.

Since he couldn't use Haki at all, he could only rely on fire to inflict some magical damage. After all, Teacher Kai's defense was primarily physical, unlike the Lunarian's resistance. If one could master advanced Haki, they could break through his defenses.

However, this damage was merely a superficial scratch.

It couldn't even be considered a wound.

"What a disappointment,"

Teacher Kai casually crushed the wine gourd that was burnt to tatters, finally raising his mace. "But, since there's no more wine, you two brats should be ready, right?"

Ian took a deep breath. The most dreaded episode was about to begin.

This was the main event of their daily lessons.

Yamato also became serious, raising her mace to block in front of her. "Bring it on! Dad! I'm not scared!"

"Guhahaha! Yamato! Then let this old man see if you're scared or not!"

So fast that Ian's eyes couldn't even react, Teacher Kai's massive body instantly appeared before Yamato, his black mace tearing through the air.

Clang!

With a loud bang, Yamato cried out in pain and flew into the sky.

Ian's scalp tingled.

Every time he saw this scene, he felt it was absurd.

Was this how a father should treat his daughter?

"I,"

Yamato landed on the ground, her head bleeding, but she still tried hard to stand up. "I'm not... scared!"

Teacher Kai just glanced at the girl.

Then he looked at Ian. "This girl can't stand anymore. Next, it's your turn, kid."

Ian's expression sharpened. He immediately crossed his arms over his chest, his large wings wrapping around his body from behind, and flames began to burn fiercely around him.

Even the wind couldn't react as Teacher Kai appeared before Ian as if teleporting, his iron club raised high.

Too fast!

There was no possibility of dodging!

Bang!

Just like a baseball player hitting a perfect home run, with a dull thud, Ian was sent flying by Teacher Kai's club.

He truly looked like a baseball, soaring through the air.

In fact, he had indeed become a ball.

A golden sphere.

Except the surface of the ball had a face, looking quite terrifying.

So painful!!

The face on the surface of the sphere contorted.

In his spherical form, his defense was comparable to Charlotte Linlin's Steel Balloon, but even that couldn't withstand Teacher Kai's iron club.

He definitely wasn't using Haki, but the excited smile on his face as he swung the iron club showed he was absolutely serious.

The next second, the sphere cracked open, and Ian transformed into a brand new form.

His limbs and body became thick, with cracked eggshells embedded in each limb like shields. Two larger eggshell fragments on his back became new wings.

He looked like a Transformer.

The Winged Dragon Fruit: Sphere Mode, Beastman Mode!

Completely sacrificing mobility to maximize defense.

Ian plummeted down, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Above him, Teacher Kai, who had followed closely, descended like a meteor. "Guhahaha! Defense, evasion, or resistance, do your best to survive, brat!!"

"Until I'm satisfied!"

With a thunderous roar, the iron club smashed down from the sky.

Ian brought his arms together, the eggshell shields on his arms closing, forming a single large shield, much like WarGreymon.

Boom!!

Thunder roared in the sky, the earth shattered, rocks flew everywhere, and the ground was smashed into a huge crater, almost piercing the dome of Onigashima.

"This is killing me!"

Amidst the smoke, at the bottom of the crater that had been smashed open, Ian grimaced in pain.

His arm was definitely broken.

What monstrous strength was this!

Even Moria's Haki-infused attacks had been completely ineffective against the Sphere Mode.

However, this form had another major characteristic besides its defense.

His broken arm was rapidly healing, and the pain was quickly dissipating.

Before he could even stand up, the smoke was blown away by the monster's roar, "Ughahahaha! Compared to Yamato, you're much more fun to beat up, kid!!"

The Iron Club smashed down again.

So, this was supposed to be a lesson, right?

It wasn't just some simple child abuse, was it?

As expected, once the training was over, he should just run away.

Sky Island would be good. The disputes on the Blue Sea basically wouldn't reach there.

BOOM!!

The entire Onigashima trembled.

"Urgh!"

Ian grunted, once again sent flying like a cannonball. He traced a beautiful parabolic arc, smashing through several small rock mountains before finally managing to land.

This time, he felt like all his bones were about to shatter.

Ian lay sprawled on the ground, hissing as he drew breath.

This kind of torment was truly something else, constantly getting injured, only to constantly heal.

He was starting to understand Kaneki's pain.

"Ian!"

Just then, a pair of small feet appeared in his line of sight.

Ian turned his head slightly and saw a bruised and swollen face.

It was Yamato.

This guy had gotten up again.

"Hm?"

Teacher Kai, holding the Iron Club, raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I can still fight!"

Yamato declared loudly.

Before Ian could say anything.

Yamato had already rushed towards Teacher Kai.

She limped, dragging her Mace, and loudly proclaimed, "I'm going to become stronger than you! Father! Until then, no matter what, I won't admit defeat!"

"Ughahahaha!"

Teacher Kai just laughed. Ian could feel that he was happy.

The monster grinned excitedly, raising his Mace high. "Then come on, let's try it!"

Without hesitation, he swung the Iron Club.

Thump.

Before she could even say anything else, this time it was Yamato who became the cannonball.

Ian had just sat up and saw Yamato fall not far away.

This time, she really wouldn't be able to get up.

Did this guy think he had my kind of defense?

But he was really ruthless, wasn't he, Teacher Kai? He showed no mercy at all.

Ian staggered to his feet.

As expected, it was still too soon to face someone of Teacher Kai's level.

Just thinking about becoming his enemy made him lose the will to fight.

Ian looked up.

Sigh, could they make peace?

Crimson and golden flames erupted from his body simultaneously. His body began to melt, and in the end, only flames remained.

"Ughahahaha! Going all out, are we? Then let's continue! Kid!"

The monster's laughter continued to spread.

Later.

"So painful."

Teacher Kai looked down at Ian, who was lying motionless on the ground, and, stroking the burn mark on his chest, burst into laughter, "Mwahahaha! What an unreasonable move!"

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the capital city of Wano Country, a city called Flower Capital.

"What is that?"

The residents of Flower Capital saw a monster they had never witnessed in their lives.

It was a giant as tall as a mountain peak, with sharp teeth, a pair of huge horns on its head, bright red hair, and carrying an enormous mace. Just looking at its upper body, it was like a legendary demon.

And its lower body was even more astonishing.

Its lower body was also red, with a horse-like structure, actually growing four legs!

A centaur!

A centaur-like demon!

And a giant demon fifty to sixty meters tall!

Its mere walking on the streets of Flower Capital caused the entire block to tremble slightly. The surrounding low-rise houses weren't even as tall as its calves. Wherever it passed, civilians fled in terror.

"Gao gao!"

This feeling of being feared made the giant very happy, and it let out strange laughter from its mouth.

"It's so noisy, Fuga. Are we there yet, Ian?"

On top of the giant's head, a little girl with white hair rubbed her eyes and sat up.

Beside her sat a little boy. He looked up at a giant tree at the end of the street not far away, and the castle built upon the tree. He yawned lazily, "Looks like we're here, Fuga. Let's head over."

"Gao!"

The giant began to accelerate.
