Defeat

The samurai of Wano Country suffered heavy losses, especially when the Beasts Pirates released a large number of ferocious beasts. During the retreat, even with some people covering the rear, they still could not prevent the sacrifice of their comrades.

This was a tragic day; the war between the Beasts Pirates and Wano Country unexpectedly ended in a single day.

More than half of the samurai in Wano Country were killed, totaling six thousand, and most of the survivors were wounded.

The Beasts Pirates suffered fewer than a thousand casualties, a feat beyond imagination.

The main problem was that the samurai were at a significant disadvantage. Despite being close-combat swordsmen, they had to endure endless bombardment. Moreover, the ocean environment was not suitable for them to fight, and most of the ships that could land on them were destroyed in the artillery fire.

This Wano Country was no longer capable of advancing.

"That brat Kaido is not bad, but compared to my Beast Pirates, he's far inferior, hehehehehe!" Shiki naturally also watching this battle, and upon seeing the Beasts Pirates' Beast Army, he couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Thinking of the beast army he had prepared, the Beasts Pirates, which were at most ten meters tall, mostly five or six meters tall, and three or four meters tall, were worlds apart from the beast army that Shiki had prepared.

With a height and length of tens or even hundreds of meters, there is an insurmountable barrier in terms of strength and destructive power.

The only drawback is that his beast army is completely uncontrollable, while the beasts kept by the Beasts Pirates are controllable, so each has its own advantages.

However, Shiki values is the destructive power of these beasts. With the addition of the "SIQ" he envisions, these beasts will become terrifying destroyers, even more brutal, larger in size, and stronger.

The great battle between Kaido and Oden is not over yet, and it's the fight everyone has been most looking forward to. Who will ultimately emerge victorious?

His tall figure, with his hair piled up like a plate, wearing a tattered coat from the war, held two swords, his face stern, naturally exuding an aura of authority without anger.

"Samurai, it seems you're out of luck." The clouds swirled like a vortex, accompanied by a fierce wind and thunder, Kaido's laughter echoed between heaven and earth.

"Kaido!" Oden's forehead veins bulged, his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, and his face turned bright red with anger.

He also saw the tragic state of the Wano Country samurai, though he hadn't noticed it during the battle, as his eyesight was limited and the battlefield was quite far from the island defended by the Beasts Pirates.

Now that the samurai have retreated, Oden realizes that so many samurai have sacrificed themselves, dying at the hands of the Beasts Pirates.

Compared to the grand occasion when they arrived, the number of people was greatly reduced, Oden could guess just how many had perished.

The sacrifice of his people further fueled Oden's anger.

"Oden Two-Sword Style: Tougen Shirataki!" The same move, but this time its power is even more terrifying under the influence of rage.

Oden into the air, his powerful arms bulging instantly, muscles swelling, his arms turning completely black from the Haki. The twin swords in his hands had already transformed into Black Blade, becoming even sharper. A boundless Haki flowed around him, and a wild momentum roared out from his body in an instant.

The dark night sky was instantly illuminated.

A massive, purplish-red slash transformed into a surging, upstream current, crashing towards Kaido like a raging torrent!

"This is exactly what I've been waiting for! Come on, samurai!" As the battle progressed to this point, Kaido became excited. Even he could feel the immense threat posed by this slash, and he couldn't withstand it head-on.

"Dragon Tail Swing!"

Its kilometer-long body swam rapidly through the air, and then, its powerful tail lashed out at the slashing attack.

The dragon's tail collided with the slash in the sky, and the explosive energy illuminated the entire dark night.

The resulting impact transformed into a raging storm that swept outwards, causing the sea to surge and even forming a massive whirlpool centered on the battlefield between the two.

In the capital city of the Babarossa Kingdom, Yamato, who hadn't yet reached the battlefield Yamato, exclaimed in astonishment, his eyes wide, "This man is amazing!"

Krell stood beside her, watching the footage. To them, this samurai who could fight Kaido was incredibly powerful.

Countless people watched this collision with shining eyes. The scenery on the sea was beautiful, but even more beautiful was the brilliance emanating from the heroes who stood at the pinnacle of the era.

"Ororororo! Kozuki Oden, let me see the power that will impress Roger and Newgate!" Kaido laughed, his figure circling in the sky, his mouth wide open, and scorching Dragon Breath shot out like an arrow.

Giant fireballs appeared, making it seem as if several suns had risen above the sea.

The fireball crashed into the sea, carving a path through it. Oden leaped from the path and charged towards Kaido had deliberately lowered his altitude.

In the sky, Oden and Kaido engaged in a fierce battle. Like a monkey, Kaido's slender body as a foothold to leap back and forth, moving quickly. His twin swords clashed repeatedly with the flames spewed by Kaido, and he even clashed head-on with Kaido's fangs.

With a foothold, Oden's combat strength increased significantly.

Even the massive Kaido couldn't Oden, given their vastly superior agility.

The great battle continues; the clash between humans and dragons has captured everyone's attention.

Kozuki Oden's figure shot up, and this time, the Haki gathered on his arms even emitted a dim light, with black and red Inazuma leaping around.

This slash, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, was terrifying, causing Kaido to instinctively feel a sense of fear.

"Bolo Breath!"

Kaido unleashed another scorching pillar of fire, engulfing Oden's figure.

However, in the next instant, the pillar of fire was shattered in the middle, Kozuki Oden's figure appeared from it, causing Kaido's pupils to suddenly contract.

"Kaido, die!"

"Oden Two-Sword Style: Togen Totsuka!"

Oden was too fast; Kaido couldn't react at all.

Like a shooting star streaking across the sky!

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. After a flash of light, Kozuki Oden and Kaido's massive bodies passed each other.

Wow!

With a scream, Kaido's long body was ripped open by a huge X-shaped wound, and blood gushed out.

The enormous body swayed precariously high in the sky, continuously descending.

"No way?"

Queen, who was watching the battle, lost his cigar, his eyes bulging out of their sockets, and he screamed in disbelief, "They actually managed to cut Kaido down from the sky!"

"It shouldn't be possible." King still firmly believed in Kaido's strength, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone. He too was frightened by that terrifying strike.

This is the ocean; if Kaido falls into the sea, they will be declared defeated.

"Father, Father is injured?"

Yamato was also stunned, then she said in a panic, "What should we do? Krell, will Father lose?" She kept shaking Krell's arm.

Krell, however, was still in shock and hadn't recovered. Cold sweat broke out on his body. He didn't know how to answer. There was still a huge gap between him and Kaido, and he couldn't clearly see how the battle was going.

"It's alright. The Governor is known as Immortal Body. How could he be defeated by such a single blow?" Krell said, feigning composure. His intuition told him that Kaido shouldn't be defeated so easily.

The entire sea was equally shocked. Kaido had suffered such a terrible wound for the first time, a serious injury that had never happened before.

However, those with strong abilities can see that Kaido is not dead yet. If he died so easily, then the title of Immortal Body would be a joke.

However, this is not a decisive battle, but a war. As long as Kaido falls into the sea, the outcome of the war will be reversed, completely favoring Wano Country.

The Wano Country samurai, whose morale was somewhat low, became excited upon seeing this scene, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope for victory.

The dragon that Oden had cut down from the sky had not yet recovered and seemed to be unconscious. Its body continued to fall and was about to hit the sea.

However, fiery clouds emerged from around the dragon, supporting Kaido's massive body and preventing him from falling.

Kaido's body is gradually returning to human form, but he has not yet recovered.

I thought Kaido would fall into the sea, but it turns out Kaido has a hidden ability to create clouds that can support objects.

Seeing that Kaido hadn't fallen into the sea, Oden seized the opportunity and attacked, not wanting to give Oden any time to catch his breath.

The samurai arrived riding on fiery clouds, accompanied by a fierce wind, proclaiming, "Oden Two-Sword Style: Tougen Shirataki!"

The Haki wrapped around the blade transformed into a slash, tearing through the air, which itself seemed to groan in agony.

"Thunder Bagua!"

A bolt of purple Inazuma suddenly shot into the sky, its explosive force causing giant waves to surge up in the sea below.

Kaido leaped into the air, using his spiked club crackling with Inazuma to meet Oden's twin swords.

A terrifying collision sent both of them flying backwards to opposite sides.

"It hurts like hell!"

Kaido roared from atop a cloud of flames, clutching the wound on his right abdomen with one hand, his forehead beaded with cold sweat. "It will leave an indelible scar!"

With his powerful regenerative abilities, Kaido's wounds are constantly healing. Just as he said, the injury on Kaido's right abdomen is healing rapidly, but it has left a huge X-shaped scar.

The injury caused by that previous strike was so severe that Kaido could not withstand it and could not fully recover.

A ferocious and unrestrained smile spread across his face. "Well done, you bastard!"

Blue scales began to spread across Kaido's body, another pair of sharp, coral-like horns extended from his forehead, and a thick dragon tail grew from his waist.

Holding his spiked club in one hand, Kaido finally transformed into his strongest fighting form.

The previously hidden abilities of Yan Yun were forced to be exposed, but in doing so, they created a piece of land to serve as the battlefield for their battle. Now, neither of them was restricted, and the real battle was about to begin.

"Come on! Kozuki Oden, let me have a good beating!" Kaido, carrying his spiked club as he charged towards Oden.

Oden didn't speak, but went to meet him as well. He could feel Kaido's overwhelming fighting spirit, which also affected him.

He hadn't taken a serious stance for many years. He had always been the free-spirited and warlike Kozuki Oden, but now he also had Wano Country.

Oden, equally filled with fighting spirit, traversed the fiery clouds, his sharp twin blades embodying his powerful will.

A powerful aura clashed, and both sides displayed their Conqueror's Haki, with black and red Inazuma intertwining and swirling in the void.

"Father seems very happy!" Yamato looked at Kaido on the battlefield; the flames and light made the scene clearly visible.

"Yes, Governor Kaido hasn't encountered such a powerful opponent in a long time. He's been suppressing his feelings for the past few years. He didn't get to enjoy himself at all on his last trip to Uso Island." Krell nodded. If he hadn't been busy lately, Kaido might have run off somewhere to commit suicide.

Kaido and Kozuki Oden have begun their second round of combat.

"That's terrifying, it's like a natural disaster!"

This is the sentiment of countless people.

The battle between two of the world's top powerhouses revealed a power that eclipsed many of the strongmen known as "monsters" in the New World.

This is a monster among monsters; ordinary monsters are utterly insignificant in the face of the world's top experts.

Although they weren't on land, their terrifying destructive power could still be clearly felt.

Oden could easily slice through a small mountain with a single sword strike, while Kaido's Kozuki Oden could easily create a crater.

Centered on the two individuals, the sea within several kilometers around them continued to churn.

The two fought on the fiery clouds above the sea, and the shockwaves generated by their collisions alone made the ocean extremely turbulent.

The battle continues. Two days and two nights have passed, and many people have not slept during this time, waiting for the final outcome.

The two were evenly matched, with no clear advantage in sight.

"Hey! At this rate, won't the governor be defeated?" someone from the Beasts Pirates worried. At first, they were somewhat confident, but the further they went, the less certain they became.

"Bullshit! How could the governor possibly lose!" Upon hearing this, one man couldn't stay still any longer. His tall figure grabbed the pirate who had spoken.

This is Jack. The person he admires most is Kaido, and he will not allow anyone to speak ill of Kaido. He will not even allow such distrust.

With a powerful pull of his arm, the member was unable to resist and screamed in agony; the sound of bones cracking could be heard.

"Hahaha, stop talking nonsense, kid!" Queen mocked. "How could Kaido possibly lose?"

"Although this guy is an idiot, he's right," Jin said calmly. "Kozuki Oden was indeed a powerful man, but he has no chance of winning."

The battle between the two sides was extremely intense, with neither gaining the upper hand.

"That's right, it's because they look evenly matched that the samurai from Wano Country is destined to lose." Queen said confidently, a cigar dangling from his mouth as he looked at the arena.

"In terms of attrition, who can compare to our governor? He's a Mythical Zoan ability user, a monster with Immortal Body. Once that samurai shows a weakness, our governor will seize it. The scales of victory have already begun to tip in our governor's favor."

Kaido's abilities have definitely Awakening, possessing top-tier recovery and endurance, making him arguably the World's Strongest, given his widely recognized title as the "World's Strongest Creature."

Kozuki Oden was unable to defeat him with overwhelming force; he would inevitably be worn down and killed by Kaido.

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye, and the fierce battle between Kaido and Kozuki Oden had lasted for nearly five days.

As King and Queen said, in the past two days, the balance of power in the battle between Kaido and Kozuki Oden, which was originally evenly matched, has tilted in Kaido's favor.

Many people could see that Oden's breathing rate had increased significantly, and his fighting strength had also weakened compared to before.

Kozuki Oden's face had turned extremely pale, his breathing was particularly rapid, and all the muscles in his body were trembling slightly.

"Is it already too late, Samurai!"

Kaido yelled at Oden, "Is this the end?"

Compared to Kozuki Oden, he was in much better condition. Although he had many wounds, he was only breathing a little faster and was not seriously injured.

The gap between the two was already evident, and now it's very clear that Oden is about to lose.

Oden's strength is universally acknowledged, and this great battle clearly demonstrated Oden terrifying power, far surpassing the previous battle between three of the world's top Great Swordmaster.

However, Kaido equally terrifying. Through years of continuous conquest and rise to power, he has become a powerful Sea Emperor of the seas.

Boom boom boom!

The battle between the two continued. After five days of fierce fighting, Oden was exhausted, especially as he was nearing his limit and his condition was rapidly declining.

His physical strength was far inferior to Kaido's, and as the balance gradually tilted, his disadvantage became increasingly significant, which forced him to expend more energy and stamina to deal with Kaido's attacks.

His arms, which had been wielding the long sword, were now sore and weak.

"Thunder Bagua!"

Oden's eyes flickered, revealing an opening that Kaido seized upon.

Kaido a sudden burst of power, swinging his spiked club, which was wreathed in black and red Inazuma and imbued with Haki, with a Haki roar.

It slammed heavily onto Oden's body.

Oden's eyes widened, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body flew backward powerlessly, covering a distance of over a thousand meters, passing over the flames, and falling into the sea.

It's over. This war has finally come to an end.

The invincible Oden has been defeated today, fallen to Kaido of the Beasts.
