Chapter 199 Sentenced to Death / Chapter 200 Did the Captain Remember Wrong?

Boom!!!

A deafening collision resounded, not merely a physical impact, but a clash of wills. Even the spies, though far apart, could clearly feel the chilling pressure emanating from it!

BOOM!!

After the collision, the powerful Impact slammed into their abdomens, sending them flying backward almost simultaneously!

Roar--!!

Flaming clouds surged, shadows flickered, and Kaido raised his head and roared. Amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, his entire body suddenly grew taller and swelled!

[Azure Dragon Form!!]

A massive cloud of fire emerged from beneath its claws, its thick, stiff whiskers billowed majestically, and its enormous Dragon Tail swirled, its surface Armament Haki Infusion, before sweeping fiercely toward Atlas!

"Tornado Wind Scythes!!"

At the same time, it opened its fangs and unleashed countless wind blades capable of cutting through anything, causing a massive tornado to sweep towards Atlas.

Kaido in his Azure Dragon Form possesses the greatest strength and highest defense, with any attack capable of moving mountains and filling seas—far surpassing his previous Zoan-Hybrid Form!

"Illusory Beast's Might - Imperial Scroll!!"

With a single thought, the sea surface sank, and the towering waves seemed to transform into docile sheep, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a majestic and powerful Illusory Beast, Hou, no less powerful than Kaido the Azure Dragon!

Its massive mouth opened and closed, its fangs gleaming coldly.

Hou! They love to eat borneol!

Swallow it all in one gulp!

The Tornado Wind Scythes struggled wildly, which only made the Hou more powerful. Its mouth seemed to be a giant abyss, and it swallowed Kaido!

Bang!

Seawater splashed everywhere, the Azure Dragon's tail-swinging momentum abruptly stopped, and the giant beast vanished instantly!

"No enemy is spared, no one is cut down..."

Atlas did not stop there. He held the Futsu-no-Mitama in his hand, and some black and red Inazuma crackled and merged with the original purplish-red Inazuma in an instant, suddenly becoming stronger!

"One Sword Style Secret Art Technique: Blood-Red Skyline!!!"

Piercing through the heavy rain, as if time and space had shifted, a massive sword, over two meters long, slammed down on Kaido!

Laugh--!!

Chapter 199 Sentenced to Death

Aww--!!!

Kaido roared, and a large amount of blood sprayed out, instantly turning the sea below crimson!

A massive gash appeared on the dragon's body, almost piercing through the entire dragon shell, cutting open the original 'X' wound, and even larger!!

"This is..."

"What the hell?!"

Kaido swayed, his previously dazed eyes instantly clearing as he snapped out of his [Drunken Dragon Bagua] state. He stared in disbelief at the wound on his abdomen, a strange sense of familiarity washing over him.

"Asshole!!!"

With a roar, Kaido transformed into his Zoan-Hybrid Form, and the Hassaikai appeared in his hands. A bloody gash ran from his chest to his navel, the flesh torn open. Even with Kaido's vigorous life force, it was difficult to heal quickly, as if a powerful will was preventing the growth of flesh!

"Military tea profit..."

"Long Shengjun!!!"

In his rage, Kaido club suddenly grew to enormous size, covered in jet-black Armament Haki, with Conqueror's Haki following suit!

"I... I'm going to kill you!!!"

Boom!!

If Kaido's [Thunder Bagua] is a technique known for its speed, then [Gundari: Ryuseigun] is definitely a technique that combines both power and speed!

The speed was so fast that Atlas didn't even have time to draw his sword and turn around; the thick spiked club struck him squarely in the chest.

Almost instantly, his once full chest caved in, and Atlas felt it clearly...

My sternum is completely shattered!!

Puff--!!

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Atlas's entire body was smashed into the sea below like Cannonball!

Boom!!

With a thud, a vacuum appeared on the sea surface, and Atlas, spread out in a "T" shape, limbs outstretched, sank to the bottom of the sea!

Swish!!

But the next second, a blur appeared in mid-air, and Atlas, as if teleporting, returned to the sky, coldly confronting Kaido.

"That really hurts, Kaido!!"

Looking at Kaido, who was still bleeding in front of him, Atlas did not hold back his praise.

His condition was no better than Kaido's; his entire chest was sunken in, almost touching his back, his stark white ribs were exposed, and his crimson flesh was exposed to the air, making it impossible to tell that he was still a human body!

"So you finally realize the difference between us, kid!"

With a wide grin, its fangs gleamed, the Hassaikai in its hand twirling restlessly. Its eyes were filled with the disdain of the Emperor of the Sea. "Even if your regenerative abilities are strong, what happens if you get hit... um!!?"

Before Kaido speaking, Atlas's horrific chest wound rapidly healed. His internal organs healed, bones reattached, and granulation tissue grew wildly. In the time it took to speak, a wound that would have been fatal to anyone was instantly healed!

"What did you just say? I didn't quite hear you."

Under Kaido's incredulous gaze, Atlas slightly moved his shoulder blades, touched his chest which had returned to normal, and asked with feigned confusion.

"..."

Kaido silent, subconsciously glancing at the massive gash in his chest, even ceasing to wave the Hassaikai on his hand.

What a troublesome brat...

A savage glint appeared in Kaido's eyes, and his expression gradually darkened. He was the Pirates Emperor, yet today he couldn't do anything to a mere Marine brat.

If the fight continues like this, he will not only gain no advantage, but will also embolden this little naval brat!

Moreover, this guy... has completely matured!

"Um!??"

Suddenly, Kaido's expression changed. A powerful life force appeared within his Observation Haki range. For someone of Kaido's level, his Observation Haki proficiency was not much worse than Atlas's. Even if he couldn't expand his perception range to the maximum during a battle, he could still accurately sense the slightest movement in his surroundings.

This also means that the owner of that life force is not far away from them!

"Hateful!"

Kaido looked down at the wound on his chest that was still not fully healed, feeling somewhat unwilling, but he still made a decision immediately.

Roar--!!

With a low growl, Kaido transformed into Azure Dragon, fiery clouds rising from beneath his claws, and turned to flee.

Want to leave?!?

Atlas's gaze sharpened, and the combined power of the Chicken Talisman and Rabbit Talisman was activated instantly, making him much faster than Kaido and blocking Kaido's path in an instant.

"You think you can just leave like that?"

Atlas naturally knew that the Navy's reinforcements had arrived, and most likely it would be that old man Garp, so at this moment he couldn't let Kaido leave so easily.

"Get out of here!"

Kaido into a rage, opened his mouth, and unleashed countless wind blades.

[Tornado Wind Scythes!!]

The terrifying storm struck Atlas's body squarely, the sharp wind blades and the dense Armament Haki clashing violently, sending sparks flying everywhere. Although Atlas's physique was strong enough to withstand it, he was powerless to stop Kaido.

Pity...

Just when Kaido thought he was about to escape the battlefield, a burst of laughter came from behind him.

"Hahahaha, Kaido, now that you're here, you're not leaving!!"

The next day, news that shocked countless people spread throughout the sea.

"Marine Candidate Admiral White Hou battled Kaido of the Beasts for three days and three nights, ultimately joining forces with Marine Garp the Hero to capture Kaido!!"

Atlas's name is once again echoing across the seas. First it was Golden Lion, then Kaido of the Beasts. Just what kind of terrifying monster is this rising Navy Supernova hasn't been around for long?! Is the Navy about to launch a full-scale offensive against the Pirates?

On the Moby Dick in the New World.

"Gurarara, Kaido has been sentenced to death by the Navy again."

Whitebeard tilted his head back, took a large gulp of sake, savored the pungent taste, and burst into loud laughter, "What a willful brat!!"

"Anyway, this isn't the first time. That guy's vitality is like a monster's."

Marco answered casually.

He had lost count of Kaido had been reported to have been captured by the Navy and sentenced to death, but each time he would reappear unscathed after a period of time.

"However, that guy in the Navy is already capable of going toe-to-toe with Kaido; he's an unimaginably powerful monster."

Whitebeard downed another bowl of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and casually tossed the newspaper aside.

"He's really a good kid. I've only ever seen this kind of talent in that old woman Linlin before, gulalala!"

"However, this is just a small part of the Great Pirate Era. Kids, let's have a feast!"

"Let's have a banquet! Let's have a banquet!"

"That's right, Pops is the World's Strongest Man. No matter how strong that brat in the Navy is, he can't beat Pops!"

Chapter 200 Did the captain remember it wrong?

The year 1509 of the Sea Circle Calendar is drawing to a close.

The New World War, which had captured the world's attention, came to an end with Kaido's capture by the Navy. This marked Kaido's ninth capture in his life.

The front page headline of the World Economy News Paper was a blurry photograph.

Dark clouds rolled across the sky, and the figures of Atlas and Kaido could be vaguely discerned. A knife wound that almost pierced through Kaido's body appeared on his chest, while Atlas was wearing a Justice Cloak, Futsu-no-Mitama in his hand still had Kaido's blood on it. No matter which angle you looked at it from, it highlighted the heroic figure of the Marines.

Morgans regretted it. Even though he approached the battlefield cautiously, the sheer scale of their battle was overwhelming. This was the clearest picture he could take from within a safe range, but it was unacceptable to him, a perfectionist.

With the publication of this newspaper, Atlas, who had recently been promoted to a new Candidate Admiral in the Navy, once again became famous!

From the Four Seas to the New World, both Pirates and marines tirelessly discuss this matter, and the marines in Loguetown are particularly proud of it.

After all, this formidable naval force originated from their base.

East Blue, Foosha Village.

The Makino Tavern, which usually only has a few people, was now bustling with noise, filled with men's laughter, shouts, and clinking glasses, and almost all of them were unfamiliar faces.

The villagers of Foosha Village all know that a group of Pirates recently came to the village and are currently drinking in Makino's tavern. So they all instinctively avoid them to prevent a conflict with the Pirates and avoid bringing disaster to the village.

"Hey! Boss, here's a freshly printed newspaper! Want to take a look?"

A man with a weapon resembling Rapier at his waist, missing two front teeth, chuckled, not forgetting to show off the newspaper he was holding to the Red-Haired man at the bar.

"I can't be bothered to read it, just read it to me for me."

The Red-Haired man waved his hand without turning his head and said weakly.

He had stopped in the East Blue multiple times because of the prophecy left by the captain before he left, but he did not see the person the captain said he was waiting for, so he was a little frustrated and even began to have doubts.

Could the captain have made a mistake? Oh well, let's just stay in the East Blue for a while longer.

"Well, boss, what's wrong? You were so excited when you came here."

The man with the missing tooth was a little confused. It was his boss who had suggested coming to stroll around this area, but after whispering a few words with the green-haired proprietress, he seemed somewhat disappointed?

"Oh, it's nothing. Just tell me what the newspaper said."
