Carnage Kabuto struggled to rise from where he lay sprawled on the ground, then grabbed his head with both hands.
With a crack, he twisted his head back into place.
He was still shaking his head, his skull buzzing.
Even now, he had yet to recover from taking Garp's full-powered punch head-on.
Only after a long while did he seem to regain some clarity.
Carnage Kabuto panted heavily, glaring at Zephyr with eyes that seemed to burn with rage.
Utter killing intent and the terrifying presence of a wild beast erupted from his body.
Streaks of black-and-red lightning tore through the air, running rampant through the void.
He unleashed his fury on Zephyr.
One truly frightening fact was that all three of Typhon, the King of Monsters' great generals possessed Conqueror's Haki.
They had already been kings among beasts, which was why Typhon had valued them. Awakening Conqueror's Haki was simply part of their innate talent.
"Why won't you die, old man?!"
A crazed, savage aura engulfed the entire underground area like a raging flood.
Carnage Kabuto's body shrank unnaturally, dropping from twelve meters to roughly eight.
Yet his aura grew even more terrifying.
Enough to make even Zephyr wary, especially given his poor condition.
"Asura Form!"
His smaller size enhanced Carnage Kabuto's combat power in every respect.
More importantly, Carnage Kabuto's body strangely turned deep red.
He looked even more terrifying, like an asura emerging from a sea of blood.
This was Carnage Kabuto's strongest combat form.
He set his sights on Zephyr, rather than Garp, who had sent him flying with a single punch.
Byrnndi World was keeping Garp occupied, so that posed no problem.
Elsewhere, Isaac watched the battle about to erupt without making a move.
Carnage Kabuto's fight with Zephyr, and Garp's fight with Byrnndi World.
