Victory Belongs to Me, Kaido!
After Akuta finished speaking, he thrust his right fist forward suddenly.
The Conqueror's Haki exploded on his fist in a final burst of power, and black and red lightning surged up the spiked club like a torrent, forcefully repelling Kaido's spiked club.
Kaido, the owner of the spiked club, also uncontrollably raised his arm and took a slight step back.
But it was this half-step that silenced the entire world.
Kaido looked down at his raised hand, then looked up at the Akuta opposite him.
"Hahahaha! Good! Good! Good!"
Kaido uttered three "good"s in succession, slammed his spiked club into the ground, and the entire Onigashima Island trembled.
I'll remember you.
He pulled the spiked club from the ground, slung it over his shoulder, and beckoned to the Akuta with his finger.
"Come on, keep going! Let me see how many more Delight you can give me."
Kaido's voice still echoed in the air as he swung his spiked club once more.
This time, he didn't start with Thunder Bagua, but instead used a simpler technique, merely employing Armament Haki.
Even with just a simple sweeping motion, the Armament Haki wrapped around the spiked club was still intense.
Kaido abandoned his plan to instantly kill Akuta; he wanted to have a good go at Akuta!
Akuta dared not be careless in the slightest.
His Observation Haki was frantically sending him warnings; he could sense the destructive power contained in that strike.
He was able to withstand Kaido's attack because of the fearless spirit he displayed when he first mastered the Overlord technique.
However, this kind of desperate, resurgence cannot be used continuously.
Having made up his mind to defeat Kaido, Akuta wisely chose to avoid his direct confrontation.
His shadow exploded beneath his feet, and his body was pulled sideways by a tremendous force, quickly dodging the attack of the spiked club.
Akuta felt that although he had clearly avoided the touch of the staff, a burst of Armament Haki suddenly emanated from the staff and struck his left shoulder directly.
Akuta felt a force like a flash flood violently throw him away.
His body tumbled several times in the air before he managed to regain his balance and crashed into a protruding rock before coming to a stop.
Feeling a tearing pain in his left shoulder, Akuta couldn't help but look down.
Kaido stood there, his spiked club slung over his shoulder, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"How was it? Surprised that you were knocked away?"
Akuta remained silent, calmly looking up at Kaido.
"It's Ryuo, isn't it?"
Kaido paused slightly, looking at the Akuta with surprise.
"I didn't expect you to know about Ryuo? Looks like you're not some clueless kid after all."
Ryuo is an extremely advanced technique for using Armament Haki that has been passed down for many years in Wano Country.
It focuses on allowing the user to flow their aura outward from the body, enabling them to strike remotely without touching the target, or to inject their aura into the opponent's body to cause internal damage!
It is a very powerful combat technique.
Not only that, Ryuo also possesses the characteristic of being good at both offense and defense in battle.
Users can concentrate their domineering aura on their fists and other parts of their body for powerful attacks, or use it for precise defense, making it extremely practical.
However, due to the closed nature of Wano Country, although Ryuo is a skill commonly mastered by the samurai class within Wano Country.
Outside of Wano Country, not many people use this technique.
Only a few powerful forces with ties to Wano Country have the opportunity to make contact with them.
Seeing that Akuta remained silent and pretended to be a master, Kaido lost interest and began to stare at Akuta like a beast scrutinizing its prey.
Suddenly, Kaido spoke up:
"Did you just learn how to use the 'tough love' technique?"
Akuta remained silent, only nodding slowly.
Kaido's "Ryuo" attack just now really dealt him a heavy blow; he needs to catch his breath.
Kaido didn't care about Akuta's attitude and continued speaking to himself:
"To be able to block my Thunderous Eight Trigrams so soon after learning it does show some talent. However..."
He took a step, and the rocks beneath his feet shattered inch by inch.
"You just learned the Overlord's Entanglement technique, how many times can you even use it?!"
After saying that, Kaido disappeared again.
The Observation Haki of the Akuta caught a blurry afterimage charging towards it from the front.
He instinctively dodged to the left, his shadow dragging his body sideways.
But Kaido's spiked club suddenly slammed down from the left, precisely blocking his escape route.
Kaido's lips curled into a confident smile.
He admitted that the young man in front of him had some skills, and given enough time, he might be able to surpass him.
But there's not that much time for him right now!
To block his attack, unless the Akuta can use "Overlord's Entanglement," it will be at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation given his current level of domineering aura.
But that's "domineering and persistent"!
It's not your average Armament Haki.
Conqueror's Haki is the embodiment of willpower. "Conqueror's Haki" consumes far more mental energy than ordinary attacks, and each use consumes one's own mental energy.
Given that Akuta has only just grasped the basics, how could he possibly use "Overlord's Entanglement" so casually?
Since the "Domineering Entanglement" technique cannot be used, then the winner of this battle is...
That's me, Kaido!
On the other side, Akuta calmly watched the spiked club hurtling towards him.
Through his Observation Haki, Akuta knew that his Armament Haki was no match for Kaido's attack.
At this point, will the Akuta engage in a direct confrontation?
unfavorable.
Ren Kai's killing spree?
no.
Now that things have come to this, there's only one way out!
It's time for "Domineering Entanglement" to step in!
Akuta tightened slightly, and he shouted in his heart.
"Mirror Replica," it's time to show your power!
A faint, hidden light flashed deep within Akuta's pupils.
That was a sign that "mirror replication" was starting.
The principle behind this skill is to allow his consciousness to enter a state similar to "rewind" in a very short time, replicating the feelings, state, and even physical memories of a certain moment in the past into the present in a near-perfect way.
The last time he used "Dominate Entanglement" was when the blade of death was pressed against his throat.
Akuta remembers that feeling very clearly.
The "biting" action that occurs when Conqueror's Haki collides—that point of contact is the key to the binding of Conqueror's Haki.
In Akuta's mind, the memory of that moment surged back like a tide.
The Conqueror's Haki within him surged wildly, not spreading in all directions, but instead all rushing towards his right fist.
Black lightning flowed across his fist.
A crimson-black light, like water, flowed from between his fingers, enveloping his entire arm in a rapidly flowing mass of crimson-black light.
The feeling of "dominance" is back.
All of this may seem like a long process, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye.
Kaido's spiked club was already close to the Akuta, the Armament Haki wrapped around it so intense it was almost tangible.
The air was compressed into a visible white wall of air, which rolled towards Akuta's face.
Kaido wore a confident smile.
He was certain that this young man, who had just mastered the art of binding, could not possibly unleash that power again in such a short time.
He knew better than anyone how much Conqueror's Haki was being consumed.
Let alone the newly learned Overlord's Entanglement?
The victory in this battle was predetermined from the very beginning.
Kaido's smile froze the moment his spiked club was about to strike the Akuta.
Because he saw Akuta raise his right fist.
Black and red lightning was flowing across the fist.
The shape of the lightning, the way it coiled, the overwhelming aura of dominance condensed to the extreme!
This is "entanglement"!
