Kaido of the Four Emperors vs. the Seven Warlords

Aside from his status as one of the Seven Warlords,

Hawkeye Mihawk had another title!

That was World's Greatest Swordsman!

Seeing Hawkeye Mihawk stirring into action, everyone was stunned.

"Even the World's Greatest Swordsman is going to make a move?"

Many people cried out in shock.

Even Sengoku was surprised. "That guy is actually going to fight?"

"Zehahahaha."

"Mihawk, I never expected you to make a move against Kaido."

Blackbeard said mockingly from the side.

One had to know,

as the World's Greatest Swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk had always been a lone wolf. Even though he answered the Marines' summons as one of the Seven Warlords, getting him to actually lend a hand was no easy matter.

Yet this time,

Hawkeye Mihawk was taking the initiative to fight.

That was why no one could believe it.

"Don't overthink it!"

"I just want to see whether my slash can affect this strongest creature's defenses!"

Hawkeye Mihawk said coldly.

Right after that,

Hawkeye Mihawk leaped straight into the air.

Both hands tightly gripping Black Blade: Night, he swung down with all his strength. In an instant, a gigantic green blade of light surged forth, shooting directly at Kaido of the Beasts, who had already returned to human form.

"Hawkeye Mihawk truly lives up to his reputation!"

Even Sengoku could not help but praise the sword slash when he saw it.

"If Kaido can't stop that slash, not only might he be split in two, but all of Marineford could be cleaved apart as well."

The other Marine vice admirals also sighed in amazement.

"Hmph, Hawkeye brat, don't tell me you think something like that can hurt me!" Kaido laughed arrogantly.

Facing such a violent sword aura, Kaido did not panic in the slightest. He swung the spiked club in his hand, producing a dull boom as it tore through the air.

At the same time, crimson lightning wrapped around the spiked club!

Hawkeye Mihawk's sword aura was already right before him.

Then!

After a thunderous boom!

Kaido effortlessly dispelled it!

Conqueror's Haki Infusion!

The crowd erupted in shock!

That was right! What Kaido had just used was the highest realm of Conqueror's Haki: Conqueror's Haki Infusion!

One had to know that across the entire sea, there were already very few people capable of wielding Conqueror's Haki. Those who could cultivate it to such a level were even rarer.

However,

Mihawk did not seem surprised by the result. Taking advantage of the opening, he charged straight at Kaido.

Right after that,

after they exchanged several rounds, Hawkeye Mihawk ultimately fell behind. Kaido, whose spiked club was infused with Conqueror's Haki, sent him flying dozens of meters away with a single blow.

Everyone had thought that the battle between a Four Emperor and a Seven Warlord had ended there.

But then,

a massive black shadow silently appeared behind Kaido.

"Kaido, go die!"

With a loud roar, the shadow behind Kaido transformed into countless bats and rushed toward him!

That was right!

Another Seven Warlord had made his move: Gecko Moria!

Gecko Moria had long held a grudge against Kaido, and they had once fought a great battle. Although Gecko Moria had ultimately been defeated, he survived and was invited to become one of the Seven Warlords.

Now that he faced his old enemy Kaido, how could Gecko Moria possibly let any opportunity slip away?

So, during the gap when Kaido had been fighting Hawkeye Mihawk, he had quietly slipped onto the battlefield.

"Gecko Moria, it's you again, brat. You really never learn, do you?"

Facing the swarms of bats released by Gecko Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Kaido remained utterly calm and even sneered.

The next second,

Boom!

Kaido did not move at all. Simply by releasing Conqueror's Haki, he shattered every single bat in the swarm.

Right after that,

Kaido's spiked club came crashing straight toward Gecko Moria!

Thunder Bagua!

This time, Kaido had also infused it with Conqueror's Haki. With one swing, Gecko Moria's enormous body was sent flying, and after crashing to the ground, he fell unconscious.

Dark Hole!

Unexpectedly,

Blackbeard Teach made his move as well!

Right in front of Kaido, he unleashed the Dark-Dark Fruit ability he was so proud of, heavily enveloping Kaido of the Four Emperors.

"Zehahahaha! Kaido of the Four Emperors, let me see whether the strength of a Four Emperor is really as terrifying as they say!" Blackbeard Teach laughed sinisterly.

Dark Water!

Blackbeard Teach stopped wasting words and used the Dark-Dark Fruit's gravitational pull to draw Kaido toward his hand.

However,

Kaido of the Beasts' massive body was actually pulled over by Blackbeard Teach, who gripped him tightly with one hand.

At that moment,

everyone watching was dumbfounded!

What kind of ability was this? It had captured Kaido of the Four Emperors in his hand without suffering so much as a scratch!

"Zehahahaha!"

"Kaido, do you see?"

"This is the power of my Dark-Dark Fruit. It can deal with ability users..."

Just as Blackbeard smugly prepared to show off,

Bang!

Kaido's fist, wrapped in both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, smashed heavily into Blackbeard Teach's face.

Without the slightest surprise, Blackbeard Teach was sent flying at once.

After all, the Dark-Dark Fruit could indeed deal with powerful people who relied completely on Devil Fruits. But against someone like Kaido, who had cultivated his Haki to the highest realm, it seemed useless. Besides, Kaido's Devil Fruit was only a Zoan-type.

Kaido even spat on the ground and mocked him, "What the hell was that? All flash and no substance!"

Because the punch had landed squarely on his cheek, one of Blackbeard Teach's already few teeth actually fell out.

Seeing this,

everyone was stunned once more!

Was this Kaido of the Four Emperors, the man known as the strongest creature in land, sea, and air?

Even three Seven Warlords working together were no match for him!

At this moment!

Of the five Seven Warlords present, three had already fallen. The remaining two, Empress Hancock and Bartholomew Kuma, had yet to make a move.

But neither of them seemed inclined to fight, because they knew that even if they did, the result would be the same.

After all!

Kaido of the Four Emperors was truly powerful!

"Hahahaha!"

"What Seven Warlords? Is that all you've got?"

"Looks like your Marine Headquarters really doesn't have anyone worth mentioning!"

Kaido threw back his head and laughed loudly, his tone incomparably arrogant.
