Only Haki Can Stand Above All!

"White clothes, white hair..."

Beasts Kaido slung his spiked club, the Hachisai Kai, over his shoulder and frowned as he looked at Storm.

"What kind of ability is this? A magic trick?"

Ever since White Dragon defeated King of Lizards Hanafuda, the Beasts Pirates have been specifically gathering information about this newly Shichibukai.

After White Dragon entered the New World and defeated Celestial Demon Doflamingo, the Beasts Pirates updated their intelligence on White Dragon once again.

Beasts Kaido hadn't examined White Dragon's abilities in detail, but he at least knew that Haku was Devil Fruit User of the Paramecia Clay- Clay Fruit.

But...

Beasts Kaido stared at Storm opposite him, a few question marks appearing on his forehead.

Is this also a power of the [Clay Fruit]?

This level of "transformation" should be exclusive to Zoan - Devil Fruit, right!?

The only ability that Beasts Kaido could identify was the Flame Cloud ribbons wrapped around Storm's body.

Under normal circumstances.

After Zoan Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User successfully Awakening their powers, similar "Flame Cloud ribbons" will appear on their body surface.

Moreover, these "Flame Cloud ribbons" are often black.

Beasts Kaido had never seen a white, Flame Cloud ribbon before.

White Dragon's hair, clothes, and the ribbons around his body...

Beasts Kaido became increasingly confused.

Could these things have been "fabricated" by White Dragon using his abilities?

'Speaking of which, we were so focused on fighting that we realized there was something definitely off about White Dragon...'

Beasts Kaido glanced at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the distance out of the corner of his eye.

'Like that Blue-Eyes White Dragon, it can even unleash lightning, with power comparable to my Heat Breath... What's going on?'

Beasts Kaido pondered for a moment, but could not find any answer.

He decided to stop wasting that brain cell.

Whatever the reason.

Let's finish this match first!

Beasts Kaido took a deep breath, and the surrounding air rushed into his body, causing his chest to bulge out.

"Heat Breath!"

The next moment, Beasts Kaido, in his dragon-man form, opened his gaping maw and unleashed a scorching, intense flame breath at the location of Storm.

Beasts Kaido's "Heat Breath" has an extremely high flight speed.

In the blink of an eye.

This blazing, orange-red flame flew right up to Storm.

Storm slowly stretched out his hands, and a large amount of white clay appeared out of thin air in front of him, forming an enormous white shield.

Clay Giant Shield!

Boom--

The terrifying Heat Breath, powerful enough to easily melt a mountain, struck the clay shield with perfect precision, instantly unleashing a loud boom.

But upon closer inspection, the intense "Heat Breath" that could melt rocks and melt metal was unable to harm the seemingly ordinary clay shield; it merely scorched the clay shield until it was burning hot and red-hot.

Storm stretched out his right hand, and white clay surged forth, extending and stretching his arm until he grasped the giant clay shield that had been scorched red by Beasts Kaido's "Heat Breath".

It's like wielding an enormous fly swatter.

Storm unleashed his power, wielding his massive, red-hot clay shield and slamming it down on Beasts Kaido.

However, Beasts Kaido had already observed Storm's movements, and with such "slow" movements, he certainly wouldn't be hit.

Beasts Kaido gripped his spiked club, the Hachisai Kai, and swung it heavily forward, instantly creating a wide and massive cylindrical shockwave in front of it.

"Diamond-shaped Diproton!"

The shockwave unleashed by Beasts Kaido was no less fast than the "Heat Breath" he had just exhaled.

The powerful shockwave traveled across most of the ocean to reach Storm's giant clay shield, slamming directly into its surface.

Boom!!

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

The shockwave unleashed by Beasts Kaido failed to shake Storm's clay shield. Instead, the shield's reaction force shattered the shield, turning it into a fierce gust of wind.

The giant clay shield, which only created ripples on its surface like ocean waves, continued to slam downwards, striking Beasts Kaido's body directly.

Bang--

Beasts Kaido swung his spiked club, attempting to block the giant clay shield.

However, the power emanating from the clay shield caused Beasts Kaido's expression to change.

"The White Dragon's power has increased..."

This idea had just popped into Beasts Kaido's mind.

The vast, boundless clay shield slammed directly into his body.

Like swatting a fly, the clay shield sent Beasts Kaido crashing into the vast ocean below.

The astonishing power of the clay shield acted on Beasts Kaido's body, causing his descent to become extremely fast, like a meteorite falling from the sky, easily creating rings of white shockwaves.

Beasts Kaido glanced at the sea below out of the corner of his eye, and then suddenly withdrew from his dragon-man form and entered his massive Azure Dragon Form.

The orange-red Flame Cloud supported the Azure Dragon's body, halting its downward descent.

But Beasts Kaido did not stop there.

Suddenly, Beasts Kaido had transformed into a blue dragon, began to spin rapidly. His enormous blue dragon body coiled up like a giant spinning top.

"Sea Tornado!"

Beasts Kaido's supersonic spinning created giant tornadoes around him.

The tornado whipped up seawater from the ocean below, transforming itself into a series of "sea tornadoes."

Under Beasts Kaido's control, these sea tornadoes rushed towards the White Dragon opposite them.

Flames will heat the clay, and fire attacks will have no effect on the clay.

Surely a large amount of seawater would wash away the clay?

One after another, the seawater tornadoes shot into the sky.

Storm ignored him, his body only crackling with black and red arcs of electricity.

[Conqueror's Haki] surged from his body, flowing continuously across his surface, completely binding his body together and isolating him from the perception of [Observation Haki] from the outside world.

[Observation Kill]!

Storm isolated himself from the perception of [Observation Haki], and then unleashed another ability.

Claywork: Falling Clay!

A series of peculiar fluctuations emanated from the space above Beasts Kaido's head.

Clumps of white clay flowed out of this space like liquid.

Storm's body merged with the clay, and in an instant, he passed through the encirclement of several sea tornadoes, appearing directly in front of Beasts Kaido.

Under the special effect of [Conqueror's Haki]'s "Observation Kill".

Beasts Kaido was completely unaware of Storm's approach.

As Storm approached Beasts Kaido, he raised his right hand high, and endless clay surged forth, expanding his right fist into a gigantic fist.

"Conqueror's Giant Fist!"

Storm swung his right fist heavily towards Beasts Kaido below.

Simultaneously imbued with both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, the "Conqueror's Giant Fist" carried an overwhelming and unstoppable force, directly slamming into the phantom beast Azure Dragon below.

Boom boom--

Caught completely off guard, Beasts Kaido was struck directly on the head by Storm's "Conqueror's Giant Fist," nearly flattening his entire dragon head.

The enormous azure dragon, under the power of Storm's "Conqueror's Giant Fist," once again plummeted towards the sea below, crashing directly into the ocean.

The seawater surged skyward, creating towering waves exceeding 100 meters in height.

Beasts Kaido has fallen into the sea!

Storm retracted his fist, looking down at the crashing waves below, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Is the battle over? It doesn't seem so..."

There has been no word from the [Big Trophy].

Storm immediately activated his Observation Haki, probing the vast ocean below.

The next moment.

Storm sensed the still powerful and astonishing aura hidden deep within the ocean.

Beasts Kaido fell into the sea, but he did not completely lose consciousness like a normal Devil Fruit User.

On the contrary.

Beasts Kaido now perfectly lucid.

His [Zoan Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon Fruit] doesn't actually originate from the "Dragon Dragon Fruit," but rather from the much rarer [Fish-Fish Fruit]!

A Fish-Man eats Devil Fruit will be cursed by the sea, thus losing the ability to swim.

However, a normal person who eats the [Fish-Fish Fruit] will also be cursed by the sea, but he will not lose his life from "falling into the sea".

Devil Fruit User of the [Fish-Fish Fruit] can breathe in the ocean like real "fish".

In fact.

If anyone notices.

Among Beasts Kaido's many titles, there is one that is very special—

"The Strongest on Sea, Land, and Air!"

If the ocean truly has a fatal restraining effect on Devil Fruit User of the [Azure Dragon Fruit] ability.

Then Beasts Kaido would no longer be known as the "Strongest Creature on Sea, Land, and Air"!

Huge bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea in the New World.

A massive Sea King respectfully escorted Beasts Kaido, who had transformed back into human form, out of the sea.

And at the very moment of leaving the sea.

Beasts Kaido unleashed the power of the [Azure Dragon Fruit], transforming into a massive, winding azure dragon.

The Azure Dragon opened its mouth, and blazing flames erupted from its gaping maw, rapidly spreading throughout its entire body until it was completely ablaze.

It only took a breath or two.

"Azure Dragon Kaido" has become "Fire Dragon Kaido"!

The Azure Dragon, completely engulfed in flames, resembled a blazing torch, illuminating the surrounding environment.

"Fire Dragon Torch!"

As early as when Beasts Kaido a dragon, Storm used his Observation Haki, which allows him to "read people's minds," to read Kaido's true thoughts.

Just as Beasts Kaido unleashed his flames, igniting himself...

Storm also unleashed the power of the Clay- Clay Fruit without reservation, transforming himself into a towering white Clay Giant.

Fire Dragon Torch VS Clay Giant!

"Mere clay! It's not even half as good as mine!"

Beasts Kaido let out a deafening roar and charged straight into the sky.

"Rising Dragon - Flame Eight Trigrams!"

Storm swung his right fist at the fire dragon below, and a continuous stream of clay surged from the void, expanding his fist once again into a super giant fist with a diameter of about 100 meters.

Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki were combined and wrapped around Storm's fist, further amplifying its already terrifying power.

"It's over! Beasts Kaido!"

Storm unleashed a powerful punch with all his might.

Only Haki can overcome everything!

Nine-Star Conqueror's Haki!

Eight-Star [Armament Haki]!

Eight-Star [Clay Fruit]!

The three abilities combined to create this devastating attack.

"Peerless Conqueror's Fist!"

Storm's "Peerless Conqueror's Fist" and Beasts Kaido's "Rising Dragon Flame Bagua" collided heavily.

Boom boom boom--

A deafening roar, like the collapse of the heavens and the splitting of the earth, resounded.

Beasts Kaido's ultimate attack, "Rising Dragon Flame Bagua".

After struggling against Storm's "Peerless Conqueror's Fist" for a while.

This raging fire dragon was once again blasted into the sea below by Storm.

Endless waves surged into the sky, revealing the dark brown seabed hidden beneath the ocean, where the sun never rises.

Beasts Kaido fire dragon, crashed through the sea, plunging into the seabed and deep into the earth, unleashing an unprecedented super tsunami in the New World.

An Eight-Star Big Trophy suddenly appeared before Storm's eyes.

[Moonlight Trophy: Kaido of the Beasts]
