Peach Garden Tiger Hunt!
Roar!
The tiger's roar shook the mountains!
The power dormant within Oden's body erupted in an instant, transforming into a massive fierce tiger no less formidable than Kaido as the two collided head-on without yielding an inch.
Bang!
The violent airwaves surged outward, blasting away the rubble raining down from above.
It poured down like a torrential rain.
Amid the towering waves, Oden's figure slammed into the ground below like a cannonball.
The immense impact shattered the thick stone floor of the plaza.
As spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread outward, a massive spray of blood shot into the sky.
A huge dragon tail was also flung through the air.
Even Kaido's enormous body, dozens of meters tall, was caught up in the blast.
He was sent flying back thirty or forty meters before barely managing to steady himself in midair.
Seeing this seemingly evenly matched exchange—especially the two shallow wounds seeping crimson blood across the tail coated in black Armament Haki—many people's pupils abruptly contracted.
At their level, the first ironclad rule for surviving in the New World was to possess both types of Haki.
And in a clash between two sides, victory depended on whose Haki was superior.
The exchange just now might have seemed complicated, but it had taken only a few breaths from beginning to end.
Although Shiki had offset much of the force behind Kaido's mountain-splitting strike, the fact that Kozuki Oden had injured Kaido, whose defense was said to be unmatched, through a clash of Armament Haki undoubtedly overturned their understanding.
"Haha, this really is satisfying. Just like twenty years ago."
Kozuki Oden rose from the ruins with a loud laugh.
There was also a torn wound across his chest, but it was quickly repaired by the immortal properties of Impure World
