Leave it to me!

Usopp said something casually, then waved his hand dismissively.

A gentle breeze enveloped Zoro, carrying him upwards towards the dome.

To be fair, Zoro's attack just now did him a huge favor; sending him up now couldn't be simpler.

Although that strike didn't directly defeat those Headliners, it still had a significant impact on them.

This greatly reduced his stress.

Thinking of this, Usopp turned his gaze to the injured people, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips.

His body shot out instantly, hurtling towards them.

Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!

You have to pick the softest persimmons!

He understood these principles well; once he dealt with these injured guys, the pressure on him would be much less.

--

Let's go back a while.

Onigashima, atop the dome.

Kaido and Big Mom continued to eat meat and drink wine with gusto, while Big Mom would occasionally pick up a piece of dessert and put it in her mouth.

until...

" Kaido!"

"I am coming!"

A loud roar suddenly came from afar, causing Kaido and Big Mom to look in the direction of the roar.

They saw Luffy in Gear Fourth Luffy at an extremely fast speed to the top of the dome, and speeding towards them.

"Oh! They've arrived."

"The speed is acceptable! Otherwise, if they were any slower, I would have doubted their capabilities!"

Kaido's lips curled into a smile, and then he slowly stood up.

He slung the spiked club over his shoulder, turned to look at the Big Mom, and said:

" Linlin! Straw Hat Boy, don't you dare try to take it from me!"

"He clearly called out that he was coming to find me!"

Don't worry! I won't fight you for it!

"You're the one itching for a fight! If Xia Chen hadn't offered me such an irresistible deal, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess!"

"Wouldn't it be better to eat cake in my castle of Totto Land instead of wasting time on this?"

The Big Mom said this while stuffing cake into her mouth.

"That would be best!"

Kaido grinned, then bent his knees slightly, leaped up, and charged towards Luffy who was Luffy towards him.

The ground shattered under the powerful recoil.

" Kaido! I will defeat you and bring light back to Wano Country!"

Luffy at Kaido and roared.

"Hey, Straw Hat Boy, anyone can talk big!"

"If you can do it, then give it a try!"

As he spoke, Haki enveloped the spiked club in Kaido's hand, with purple lightning flashing across it.

In the blink of an eye, the two were less than ten meters apart, and then they simultaneously launched their attacks at each other.

" King Kong Gun!"

" Thunder Bagua!"

Before Luffy's fist could even touch Kaido, he was struck by Kaido's spiked club.

His body was sent flying backward instantly.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Luffy's mouth, and his body streaked across the night sky like a shooting star.

But Luffy wasn't taught a lesson like he was in the original story.

With Luffy's current strength, Kaido can't knock him out with one blow!

After flying for a while, Luffy forcibly turned his body in mid-air, his legs continuously thrusting air.

The force generated counteracts the force on one's own body.

"Cough cough!"

After stopping, Luffy couldn't help but cough twice, his gaze towards Kaido filled with seriousness.

At that moment, he felt waves of pain shooting through his chest.

"Is this the strength of the Three Emperors? They're definitely not so easy to deal with!"

Luffy couldn't help but sigh. Kaido was putting immense pressure on him and was definitely the strongest enemy he had ever faced.

Of course, Xia Chen doesn't count!

But this only fueled Luffy's competitive spirit; he hadn't encountered such a strong enemy in a long time.

Although his previous battle with Katakuri had left him somewhat in a sorry state, that was because he needed to use Katakuri's pressure to help him develop Observation Haki, which allows him to foresee the Future Sight.

Otherwise, Katakuri wouldn't actually pose that much of a threat to him!

But Kaido different; just by standing there, he exuded an unparalleled sense of oppression.

Just then, Kaido's mocking voice came from not far away.

"Hey! What's up, Straw Hat Boy!"

"You're too scared to come over after getting hit by a stick?"

"Is this all the Straw Hat Pirates ' captain, the fourth Emperor of the New World, has to offer?"

"Are you kidding me? I'm not afraid of you!"

"I'm here today to defeat you!"

Luffy shouted and darted forward again.

The legs shot through the air, creating gusts of air.

"Ha! Interesting!"

Kaido chuckled, then his body began to grow larger, transforming into Azure Dragon Form.

One of its tails lashed out directly at Luffy, who was attacking from behind.

Luffy's pupils constricted as he saw the enormous tail hurtling towards him, and he immediately changed direction.

Kaido's tail grazed Luffy's body, and the resulting gust of wind blew Luffy dozens of meters away.

"Phew! That was close!"

Luffy couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said with lingering fear.

He hadn't expected Kaido to suddenly transform into his Azure Dragon Form, and that his attack speed was so fast that he almost couldn't react in time.

You can imagine how painful it would be to get hit by that tail.

" Demolition Gust!"

Before Luffy, Kaido's voice rang out again.

Luffy subconsciously looked up and saw countless cyan wind blades.

They were densely covering him.

"!!!"

Luffy's eyes widened, revealing an expression of utter horror.

Then his body flickered in the air, dodging the incoming wind blades.

Countless wind blades slammed into the ground of the dome, cutting open large gashes and sending countless fragments of rock flying.

Seeing this, Luffy's face turned green; if he got hit, he was doomed.

Slashing attacks have always been his weakness. Being hit by a fist or a spiked club is fine, but if he gets struck by this wind blade, things will get much worse.

With this in mind, Luffy dodged the wind blades even more diligently.

After an unknown amount of time, the countless wind blades finally disappeared.

Luffy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was finally over. It hadn't been easy!

" Bolo Breath!"

A pillar of fire hurtled toward him at incredible speed, and he had no time to dodge or resist.

He was hit head-on by Kaido's Bolo Breath, and his body was engulfed in the massive pillar of fire.

After a while, as the flames subsided, Kaido exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a faint smile:

"How was that, Straw Hat Boy? Did you enjoy that move?"

"It's really comfortable! The temperature is just right!"

Luffy chuckled softly, then burst out of the black smoke and charged straight at Kaido.

(#°Д°)!

Kaido, however, wore an expression of disbelief and exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost:

Why doesn't fire work on you?

"Because I have perseverance!!"
