The meteorites shattered by Kaido's wind blades created a meteor shower over a large area of the sea.
Fragments of meteorites of all sizes, accompanied by flashes of fire, fell from the sky and crashed onto the sea.
Yi Xiao used his ability to shoot straight into the sky against the meteor shower.
With a backhand slash, he defied gravity and shot straight into the sky, sending the falling meteorite fragments flying back as he slashed upwards.
Kaido floated in the sparse clouds shattered by meteorite fragments.
Many fragments crashed onto his massive body, but Kaido didn't seem to care much about them.
The enormous dragon head turned around, and its eyes smiled as it looked at the creature flying up.
"Your abilities!"
Looking at the smiling figure floating not far in front of him, Kaido spoke, his voice booming like Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Upon seeing Ikkyou, Kaido inexplicably recalled a certain arrogant fellow on the Rocks Pirates back in the day.
At that time, he was an apprentice pirate, while his opponent was already a great pirate on the sea, a member of the Rocks Pirates.
But that guy's abilities are somewhat similar to those of this blind man in front of us.
" Kaido, why did you attack our ship?"
He smiled at Kaido, his rolled-up eyes fixed on Kaido.
"I'll do whatever I want!"
Upon hearing Issho's question, Kaido raised his dragon head and let out a loud laugh that seemed to soar into the sky.
"So that's what you were thinking? It seems I was naive."
Yi Xiao raised his hand, which was gripping the knife hilt in reverse, and held the Yakuza Kasen horizontally in front of him.
" Hell's Journey!"
He smiled and said in a deep voice.
Aside from his previous encounter with Dunn, this is the first time Yixiao has gone all out in recent times.
moment.
The massive cloud layer shattered instantly under the sudden burst of super-strong gravity.
A giant circle appeared in the sky.
The outside of the circle was still covered with dense clouds, but the inside had become an empty sky.
Only Issho and Kaido faced off in the sky.
Of course, this situation changed in the next moment.
The Fish-Fish Fruit its Azure Dragon Form, grants Kaido the ability to control flaming clouds and fly into the sky.
But under the sudden, overwhelming pressure of gravity, the enormous body paused for a moment, then plummeted straight down.
The flight ability granted by the Fish-Fish Fruit could not counteract the intense gravity acting on him.
A smile floated in the air, followed closely behind; he had already gone all out.
This gravitational force is not something that can be easily overcome.
On land, Kaido's powerful physique would allow him to withstand the pressure of gravity.
However, Kaido, unable to exert any leverage, twisted his massive body, but was simply unable to control it freely in the air.
"Is it this kind of ability?"
Kaido, with his exceptionally rich combat experience, now understands roughly what Issho's ability is all about.
The Azure Dragon's enormous body crashed onto the sea.
Just as his body was about to touch the seawater, the gravity that had been pressing down on him began to act on the surface of the sea.
The seawater within a radius of several thousand meters trembled violently, and then immediately sank.
Outside the area affected by the Press-Press Fruit, the seawater suddenly surged up, forming giant waves that churned in all directions.
Where Kaido crashed, the seawater suddenly surged even more violently.
Kaido's enormous blue dragon body has disappeared.
He spun the massive spiked club in both hands, creating a huge tornado that spread outwards.
Kaido, in his human-beast form, stomped his feet down on the ground.
The air crackled, and the next moment, the spiked club, which seemed to swing like a propeller, carrying Kaido's towering body, was right in front of Issho.
" Thunder Bagua!"
The high-speed spinning spiked club changed direction, and the force of the rotation became a sweeping force, sweeping towards Yixiao.
Buzz!
The Yakuza Kasen was Emission Armament Haki.
The gravity-enhanced blade clashed with the incoming spiked club.
Black lightning crackled as Kaido, gripping his spiked club with both hands, looked surprised.
He could feel the immense force emanating from the spiked club in his hand.
Yi Xiao himself possessed an extremely strong physique.
Even disregarding his Devil Fruit abilities, his physical prowess and swordsmanship alone are enough to make him one of the strongest warriors on the high seas.
The sword, imbued with the power of the Press-Press Fruit, can be amplified tenfold or even more in power.
Back in Alabasta, even Dunn in his burst state was sent flying by the gravity-enhanced blade.
Of course, that was before Dunn broke through his physical limitations for the second time.
Even so, it's clear how powerful the swordsmanship, combining the Laugh-Laugh Fruit and swordsmanship, is.
The spiked club and the Yakuza Kasen collided, and both Issho and Kaido shuddered, then were sent flying backward by the recoil.
"You bastard!"
Kaido was sent flying backwards, uttered a few words.
This guy had no reputation whatsoever before, despite possessing such ability and strength.
Yi Xiao was also taken aback.
At their level, this exchange was enough to roughly determine the opponent's strength.
It can only be said that they truly deserve to be one of the overlords of the New World.
Despite the force of gravity, the strike did not gain any advantage.
Moreover, there was that strange power emanating from the knife and flowing into the body.
This guy is using Conqueror's Haki Emission.
After regaining his balance by controlling gravity, Yixiao looked solemnly at Kaido had also stabilized his body.
Its feet stomped rapidly through the air, causing its tall body to float in the air.
In Yixiao's eyes, Kaido was the most powerful guy he had ever fought besides Dunn.
Kaido, however, looked suspicious.
Dunn is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
The blind man beside him was also surprisingly strong.
Although there is a reason why both feet cannot touch the ground.
But after this encounter, Kaido knew that the chances of capturing Issho were slim.
Since we can't win...
Kaido is preparing to retreat.
Because continuing the fight is pointless.
Especially since the other party has a connection with Dunn.
Although no one knows why Dunn wasn't on the ship, no one knows where Dunn is either.
What if it's nearby?
A simple laugh would be fine, but if Dunn is involved, then things really get complicated.
Although Kaido appears cruel and violent, he is actually more like a pirate than Charlotte Linlin, Shanks, and Whitebeard.
He is cunning and treacherous, and quite shrewd; he is far more ruthless than he appears.
After assessing the situation, Kaido decided to retreat.
However, before he could act, the smile on the other side moved.
He had no idea that Kaido was planning to retreat.
In Yi Xiao's opinion, this New World overlord's attack on them must have ulterior motives, possibly related to Dunn.
Now that we've made a move, we must go all out.
Moreover, the Press-Press Fruit also has a significant advantage in aerial combat.
With that thought, Yixiao made a popping sound as his body rubbed against the air, and he appeared in front of Kaido.
Compared to Kaido over two meters does seem rather short.
But when the powerful slash came down, Kaido, who had raised his spiked club to block, dodged to the side after making contact with the slash. The spiked club, using the recoil from the impact, swung in a large circle and smashed towards Issho.
A massive slash descended in front of Kaido, cleaving the sea below.
