The Strongest Feat Engraved Upon Wano Country!
The giant snake shuddered, its entire body thrown into a panic.
Mu Chan didn't look at him again, and turned to walk out the door with a cold face.
"Hurry up and find a way to support Kaido!"
"Oh oh!"
Realizing what had happened, the giant snake scrambled to its feet and stumbled after Mu Chan.
On the other side.
The battle between Oden and Kaido continues.
The main street of Flower City has been completely reduced to ruins. The once bustling shops and residences are now just broken walls and rubble.
The ground was covered with cracks of all sizes, and the people who had managed to escape stared blankly at their homes reduced to ruins.
Amidst these ruins, Oden and Kaido remained locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
Kaido grew more and more excited as the fight progressed, swinging his spiked club with ferocious force, each strike creating a gust of wind.
Oden's twin swords grew increasingly sharp, their blades flashing and seemingly cutting through the very air.
"Hahahaha!" Kaido laughed maniacally as he fought, "Oden, if I had known you possessed such power, I should have come and killed you long ago!"
Oden let out a cold shout, his feet suddenly accelerating, and he appeared beside Kaido like a ghost.
"Oden Two-Sword Style: Peach Blossom Spring!"
The two blades flashed past each other, moving so fast that even Kaido couldn't completely dodge them.
Laugh!
A cloud of blood burst from Kaido's side, revealing a wound that almost went through him.
Kaido seemed completely oblivious to the pain, and immediately launched a counterattack!
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"
Oden raised his sword to parry, but was sent flying by the blow.
He was sent flying backwards, crashing heavily into a pile of rubble.
Oden struggled to his feet from the ruins, blood streaming uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.
His eyes, however, remained bright, even more focused than before.
"Huh? Can it still hold on?"
Kaido, carrying his spiked club, looked at Oden with a loud laugh.
Oden used his sword to support himself and stood up again.
I can't give up yet.
"Behind me lies the entire Wano Country!"
Kaido's smile froze slightly, then he burst into an even more unrestrained laugh.
"Was that your last words, Oden?"
Having said that, Kaido continued his fierce charge towards Oden.
The two clashed again.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the battlefield, Kin'emon and his other retainers were locked in a fierce battle with Kaido's forces.
Although Kaido was held back by Oden, the Beast Pirates' Hanazawa, King, and others were already proving difficult to deal with.
It's only because they outnumbered each other that they could gang up on each other; otherwise, they would have been defeated long ago.
Meanwhile, Akuta's operation had already quietly begun.
The Beasts Pirates have mobilized their entire force, with their main army heading towards the Flower Capital. The large number of personnel involved in the battle has stretched the battle lines considerably.
Akuta circled half of the main street and bumped into a lone Beast Squad.
"Hurry! Move! The fighting up ahead is too fierce, we need to get support!"
The pirate squad leader shouted and urged them on, but no one noticed anything amiss in the shadows deep in the alley.
Akuta leaned against the corner of the wall, his entire body almost blending into the shadows.
His gaze swept over the pirates, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Jhin doesn't have time for you guys, so I'll take care of them for him."
As soon as the words were spoken, the shadows beneath the team's feet suddenly came to life.
Countless thin, black lines rose from the ground, coiling around the calves of each pirate like venomous snakes.
"What?!"
"What the hell is this?!"
The pirates panicked, drawing their swords and slashing wildly, but they couldn't cut through the shadows no matter what they did.
The next moment, shadow assassins shot out from the ground like a forest, piercing through the entire squad.
The screams echoed in the narrow alley for less than two seconds before falling completely silent.
Akuta emerged from the shadows, looked at the pirates sprawled on the ground, and shook his head.
"You think you can go and help? I bet you'll have a hard time even getting onto the kang (heated brick bed)."
He turned and sped off in the next direction.
For the next half hour or so, Akuta wandered the outer streets of the Flower Capital like a ghost, specifically targeting lone teams.
He doesn't linger in battle or greedily use his skills; he attacks once and then retreats, and he simply avoids large groups.
Even so, the ordinary pirates of the Beasts Pirates were still terrified by his killings.
Fear spread like a plague among the lowest-ranking pirates of the Beasts Pirates.
Everyone was worried that they would be the next target of a sneak attack.
On the main battlefield, the battle between Oden and Kaido has entered its most intense phase.
Oden had countless wounds on his body, and his clothes were already soaked in blood.
His breathing grew heavier and heavier, and each swing of his sword was accompanied by a heavy whistling sound.
Kaido's condition isn't much better.
He had already entered the form of a little dragon, his body covered with wounds of varying depths.
Although it wasn't fatal for someone with his constitution, it was enough to demonstrate how terrifying Oden was.
"Oden! How much longer can you hold on!"
Kaido roared, raising his spiked club high and smashing it down on Oden with black and red lightning.
Oden gritted his teeth, crossed his twin swords above his head, and desperately blocked the attack.
"Clang!"
With a deafening roar, Oden's body was once again sent flying, crashing into a pile of rubble.
Dust billowed up, and his body dragged a deep trench more than ten meters long into the ground.
Oden struggled to his feet from the ruins, his right arm trembling slightly. But when he raised his head, his gaze remained sharp as a knife.
He walked step by step toward Kaido, each step crushing the rubble beneath his feet.
"The people who protect our lord are not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
Kaido's pupils contracted.
"You're still being stubborn even after all this."
"I'm not being stubborn."
Oden slowly raised his twin swords, assuming the starting stance for his two-sword style.
"I just finally understand."
"What did you understand?"
"I finally understand what I've been running away from all these years."
Oden's voice was soft, carrying a sense of relief.
"I always thought about protecting everyone with the least possible cost, but I forgot that some things cannot be measured by cost."
"Since there's no way to avoid it, then I'll at least make this the first strike before the dawn of Wano Country!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Oden's figure suddenly vanished.
Kaido's pupils trembled violently; it was an extreme strike so fast that even Observation Haki could only catch a fleeting afterimage.
"Oden Two-Sword Style."
A soft whisper echoed from the void.
"Peach Blossom Spring - Ten Fists - Modified!"
The two blades flashed almost simultaneously.
They slashed from different angles.
Kaido instinctively used his spiked club to block, but found that the blade light suddenly split in two, then in four, attacking from all four sides simultaneously.
"What?!"
Kaido's face was filled with disbelief.
Oden's strongest technique, "Ten Fists of Peach Blossom Spring," can still contain unexpected variables!
The next moment, four sword lights struck Kaido simultaneously.
Left shoulder, right chest, side abdomen, back.
Four deep, bone-revealing wounds burst open simultaneously, gushing blood.
Kaido's massive body staggered back dozens of steps before finally collapsing to his knees with a thud.
The spiked club in his hand fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
All the Beasts Pirates on the battlefield were stunned.
Big Brother was beaten to his knees!
Kanjuro, standing outside the battlefield, watched this scene in disbelief.
In other words...
"That's right!" Kin'emon shouted excitedly from the side, "Our lord has won!"
