"Waaaah... Little devil, you and my son really hit it off... Hahaha..."
Kaido was crying and laughing and acting crazy while drunk, but the strength and speed of his subordinates had both increased, especially their speed!
If Kaido's attack and defense are both 10 and his speed is 5 when he's not drunk, then Kaido's attack increases to 12 and his speed increases to 9 when he's drunk!
Sig's current attack, defense, and speed are all 8, putting him at a disadvantage, but he can still put up a fight...
If Sig, the Emperor Dragon Armor, gets hit directly by a hammer and doesn't use any other abilities, he's basically doomed to withdraw from the battlefield...
The Oz's Shadow doesn't fare well either in a head-on confrontation. Its power is greater than Sig's main body, but its size makes it unable to dodge attacks. Fortunately, it has a lot of blood— the Hanged Man Path's ability to regenerate flesh extends to the shadow, allowing the Oz's Shadow to regenerate continuously until its accumulated flesh is depleted!
Therefore, on the battlefield of "Sig vs. Kaido", we can see Sig, an Emperor Dragon Armor constantly dodging, a shadow giant whose body keeps breaking apart and then regenerating, and... a "Fish-Man" who is at a disadvantage but can still get close enough to fight.
Right now, the person who most suspects Sig's "Fish-Man" identity is probably Kaido.
After the amplification of each Sequence on the body, including the stimulation of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, was all activated to the extreme, Kaido couldn't help but think that Sig's scales... looked more like Dragon Scales!
However, Kaido, who was already drunk, didn't care about any of this.
When Kaido got drunk, he entered the "Drunken Dragon Bagua" state, and his emotions became more unpredictable. However, his fighting spirit increased rather than decreased, and his strength and speed also increased significantly.
She seemed to be in a daze, but...
Battle Hypnosis is basically ineffective against Kaido in this state—after all, he's already acting drunk and disorderly, and no amount of hypnosis can match the potency of his alcohol!
The power of the "Visionary Path" applies entirely to Sig's physical body, while the authority at the soul level now resides with Emperor Dragon Armor Sig.
Its Mind Breath still poses a threat to Kaido...
Sig appears to be completely suppressed, but he actually has a combo that can damage Kaido: "Mind Breath" + "Blade of Spirit and Flesh"!
Normally, Sig can hardly harm Kaido, but when "Mind Breath" takes effect, Sig's "Blade of Spirit and Flesh" can attack Kaido, whose will is wavering, ignoring his defenses.
Even Kaido, who can Conqueror's Haki coating, is not immune to Mind Breath unless he uses an attack imbued with Conqueror's Haki to neutralize it...
In another brilliant teamwork, Sig once again left a wound on Kaido's back!
However, Kaido, despite being drunk, reacted quickly, immediately countering with a strike...
Adamantine Club!
Kaido swung his club at Sieg, who quickly retreated, but... Sig club, wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, was then unleashed with an extended attack that resembled a "slash"!
It was Kaido who Conqueror's Haki coating to a ranged attack—although Martial Arts have a significantly reduced range compared to Swordsmanship, this was the perfect moment to pursue Sig.
But just then...
Oz's Shadow suddenly rose up in front of Sig!
Oz's Shadow is ultimately Sig's shadow, and can return to where the "shadow" should be at any time, like now...
Although Oz's Shadow's body had a large hole torn in its abdomen and seemed about to break, it did manage to block the attack... and after the scattered shadows disappeared, Oz's Shadow quickly regenerated.
That's exactly it...
Whenever Kaido is able to threaten Sig's main body or Emperor Dragon Armor Sig, the Oz's Shadow will appear to provide cover!
Kaido didn't stop at all. He had originally turned his head and swung his club with a Conqueror's Haki attack, but now he continued to twist his body, swinging the club and spinning it towards the path that Emperor Dragon Armor Sig was bound to take!
Sig was slightly surprised— Kaido's battle awareness was indeed astonishing even while drunk; he had even anticipated Sig's seemingly erratic flight through the Emperor Dragon Armor.
However, Sig wasn't without options. Suddenly, a humanoid phantom of a "Shield Monster" appeared beside the Emperor Dragon Armor...
The next moment, the Emperor Dragon Armor was instantly covered with a thick layer of armor, making it look even more like Emperor Dragon Armor Beast.
At the same time, although Kaido's Sig sent Emperor Dragon Armor flying backward, he actually managed to stabilize himself in mid-air with a flap of his wings and regain his flight with a twist of his body!
It was precisely because Sig Grazing the power of the "Shield-Shield Fruit" that it was now being put to good use.
After all, Sig's Grazing had always been one player short of six, and it just so happened that the guy with the "Shield-Shield Fruit" bumped into him, so Sig just "let him go" for now—well, the "let go" in "Grazing".
Now that he had begun using the "Grazing" ability, Sig no longer retained it.
Although he wasn't seriously injured, his "heavy armor," or rather, the shield formed by his "Shield-Shield Fruit," was still shattered.
This is an attack imbued with Conqueror's Haki. Even if the Barrier-Barrier Fruit were here, it wouldn't be able to withstand an attack Conqueror's Haki coating!
After all, Devil Fruit are only at Sequence 4 strength, while Kaido's direct attacks, if they were Sequence, would probably be at least 3.5 strength, half a tier stronger than Demigod...
If it were Devil Fruit ability the Shield-Shield Fruit, this blow would definitely have caused internal injuries.
It's just that because the Emperor Dragon Armor is essentially Gungnir, it doesn't have the problem of "shock injury" and its direct attack power is insufficient, so it won't get hurt.
The shattered armor on Sig's Emperor Dragon Armor vanished, and then... the "Shield Devil," invisible to others, instantly transformed into a jellyfish-like Devil figure, its body constantly swaying.
Then, Emperor Dragon Armor Sig unleashed another burst of Mind Dragon Breath!
Kaido was taken aback when he realized that his opponent was unharmed, but seeing that his opponent was actually going head-to-head with the dragon's breath, he opened his mouth and met the Dragon's Breath.
The Azure Dragon's breath is of the blazing fire attribute!
In terms of "wave counterattack," the Azure Dragon's Breath is stronger than the Mind Dragon's Breath, since the Mind Dragon's Breath primarily shakes the will.
However...
Just as Kaido's breath shattered the Mind Dragon Breath, and he was about to retaliate and splatter it all over Kaido's face, he suddenly lost his footing and almost fell over. At that moment, Sig's main body had already adjusted its angle, and a mini trident shot over. Then, he flashed to Kaido's side and thrust his sword down with a backhand!
It was Emperor Dragon Armor. Sig, who switched to the ability of "Float-Float Devil" - Mind Dragon Breath. It was essentially Conqueror's Haki condensed to its extreme. The area affected by its dissipation was equivalent to having already made "contact" with it, allowing it to float up with "Float-Float Devil".
Kaido caught off guard; the ground beneath his feet suddenly shifted, and since he was directly facing the energy blast, it was inevitable that he would lose his balance...
