Kaki and Rafid have been fighting fiercely for four hours...
For the first two hours, Jia Ji, who was invincible on both offense and defense, Kaki Rafid and was also able to lock onto his opponent with his sense of smell.
Rafid could only barely hold on thanks to the strangeness of his Vampire Fruit ability. Whether it was creating shadows, obstructing Kaki's vision, or transforming his body into a swarm of scattered bats to evade attacks, it gave Kaki a lot of trouble, preventing him from turning his advantage into a victory.
Two hours later, Rafid deliberately dispersed the large shadow that had been hanging over the area, Kaki then did he realize that it was completely dark.
And Rafid, finally able to focus all his energy on the battle, then reversed the tide of the offensive...
Kaki, as Awakening One, especially an Ancient Zoan Zoan -type Awakening One, Kakashi's vitality and defense have been enhanced to an incredible degree.
In terms of attack power, he is obviously inferior to the "Big Three", but in terms of durability, Kaki is the strongest among the candidates for Admiral!
"Blood Sacrifice!"
Rafid spread his bat wings, transforming into a blood-red shadow, and pounced on Kaki.
"Dire Wolf Headbutt!"
It was another head-on clash. Rafid had thought the game was nearing Kaki end, but this time it turned out to be a draw.
The aftershocks of the clash of Armament Haki scattered the surrounding dust, and at the same time... Rafid also saw the light.
Before I knew it, the thick clouds had drifted away, and a corner of the full moon had appeared.
Moonlight has little effect on Vampire, but... the Kaki from werewolf form becomes stronger during a full moon!
"Nighttime isn't just your domain... Rafid!" The Dire Wolf's squinting eyes widened slightly again.
"Tch..." Rafid finally understood why Kaki was willing to come see him at dusk.
Of course, Rafid also believed that Kaki's "naiveté" meant he didn't want any innocent people on the island to die that night, so he ignored the setting Sun and came to see him immediately.
Moreover, even if it drags on into the night, it's still a full moon today, which enhances the werewolf form of the Awakening Dire Wolf Devil Fruit ability!
The two fought to a standstill once again, battling until the moon was high in the sky, and it was already past midnight...
By this time, both of them were exhausted and much weaker than at the beginning.
In the Evernight, Rafid's stamina recovered extremely quickly, and Kaki an Awakening Ancient Zoan, Kakashi's endurance was extraordinary. However, the prolonged fierce battle still inevitably caused both of them to lose stamina.
Just like Kaido than ten years later in the original work... Even Kaido, the Strongest Creature with a body that seems to never tire, was forced to fight to a draw with the "Fifth Emperor" after fighting more than a dozen Commodore -level Emperor-level fighters.
Sig was even considering whether or not to make a move now.
However, after only a brief consideration, since the two were still "getting along very well," Sig was happy to see them continue to decline.
As for the other fake Vampire and naval officers, they have already scattered and moved away from the battlefield...
Now that it was dark, they no longer needed to hide in the shadows created by Rafid.
However, at that moment, Rafid suddenly flew high into the air. Kaki could also use "Geppo" to step into the air, he was still a bit slower than being directly launched into the air.
"Trying to escape? There are no ships left for you to take." Kaki his men to drive away the pirate ships around Eternal Night Island.
"Escape? No need. How much strength do you have left? Five? Six? Heh... I'll show you the terror of Vampire!" Rafid sneered, his figure flashing as he lunged towards Twilight Town.
Upon Kaki this, Jiaji's eyes narrowed, and he immediately gave chase. "Stop! Don't add to your sins!"
The Vampire Fruit allows the user to regain youth by consuming human blood, and also to heal injuries and restore physical strength.
Sig immediately realized what Rafid was trying to do—to Rafid, all the humans on the island were just mobile blood banks!
No wonder Rafid was so calm and collected at the beginning...
Once he recovers to full health, he can immediately overwhelm the opponent's Kaki.
Although Sig did not immediately reveal his presence, he still flew low over, causing Kaki to glance in this direction. Fortunately, he could not see clearly, Kaki could not pay much attention to this side.
Twilight Town was almost in sight, Rafid revealed a sinister smile, but just then, they heard...
Bang--
A gunshot rang out...
Rafid's left flank was breached—only because he veered slightly to the right at the last moment!
However, there was no blood. Instead, four or five small bats scattered in all directions and then returned to Rafid's wings, becoming part of the wings again, and the bat wings became complete.
"Who goes there!" Rafid exclaimed in surprise, squinting as he looked in the direction of the gunshot.
However, because it was too far away, and even Twilight Town was only a blurry shadow, Rafid couldn't clearly see the attacker's location. He only vaguely saw what appeared to be a figure, which flickered...
Meanwhile, perched on a treetop outside town, wearing goggles, Yasopp was aiming his rifle in Rafid's direction.
"In the Evernight, its vision is even more acute than Vampire's?" Rafid's face darkened.
Yasopp didn't hear Rafid's words, but he also muttered to himself, "Whether it's day or Evernight, human or Monster, when it comes to eyesight and sniping, I won't lose!"
Although both could only vaguely see each other, Rafid knew that he had been locked onto by the other using Observation Haki, and that if he moved forward any further, he would inevitably be ambushed.
Judging from that shot, the opponent was no ordinary opponent. Even at such a distance, the bullet was still imbued with a considerable amount of Armament Haki. If I hadn't been in the "Kami-e: Ghost Bat" state, relying on the combination of the advanced techniques of the Six Powers of Kami-e and my Devil Fruit ability to scatter on its own the moment I was attacked, I would probably have been injured.
Moreover, taking advantage of this delay, Kaki had already caught up using Geppo.
"Looks like your luck isn't so great; there are others guarding this place." Kaki breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Meanwhile, chaos erupted around Twilight Town as a Masira and a gibbon teamed up to knock out and dump the "fake Vampire" who were attacking the town from all directions.
The five pseudo- Vampire, who were fighting with the other naval officers, also wanted to circle back and use the people of Twilight Town to recover their strength, but they were stopped by Morio and Ooo.
As for the others, they were either already arrested or had not yet shaken off the officers they were fighting.
Seeing Sig also disappeared again—the crisis in Twilight Town was over, and it was now up to Rafid Kaki their own affairs!
