Hahaha!
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi, let's continue!"
In just a few breaths, Kaido, whose throat had been pierced by Tsugikuni Yoriichi moments ago, had already risen to his feet, clutching his head and laughing wildly.
His voice was low yet booming, completely different from the hoarseness from before.
Through the Transparent World, Tsugikuni Yoriichi could clearly see that the sword wound on Kaido's throat had completely healed by now.
Not only had the wound on the surface disappeared, but even the deeper muscles and nerves had returned to normal. His pierced spine had fully healed as well, leaving no trace of the sword wound.
It was not just the wound on his throat. Tsugikuni Yoriichi noticed that the black flames circling Kaido's armpits and back had begun writhing rapidly, directly attaching themselves to the wounds on Kaido's body.
Shortly afterward, the flames drew back around Kaido, and the wounds he had forcibly sealed with Life Return had now completely healed.
Although he did not know what exactly had happened to Kaido—
Judging from what was happening, the Kaido before him seemed to have truly pushed his Fish-Fish Fruit: Mythical Zoan: Azure Dragon Form to the point of awakening.
He did not know the exact abilities Kaido had gained after awakening his Devil Fruit, but from the situation before him, he could at least confirm that one of those awakened abilities was an exceptionally powerful healing ability.
This level of healing ability reminded Yoriichi of the demons he had encountered before.
This level of healing must consume a tremendous amount of stamina.
Using Haki consumes stamina. Using a Devil Fruit should consume stamina too.
To kill this guy, either I exhaust his stamina until he can no longer heal...
*Or I use absolute offensive power to completely overwhelm his "healing rate" and kill
