"Come on! Let's have a good fight!"
Kaido roared and shot out at incredible speed, leaving afterimages in his wake.
"Hahaha... just what I wanted!"
Luffy replied with a smile, then slammed his fist into the ground.
The ground collapsed like rubber, but without any damage.
Meanwhile, Kaido, who was rushing towards Luffy, suddenly sensed something and forcibly twisted his body in mid-air.
The next moment!
The ground in front of Kaido suddenly sprang up, grazing Kaido body.
If Kaido had continued charging towards Luffy as before, he would have been hit by now.
Kaido flipped in the air and landed on the ground, looking down at the ground and muttering:
"Did the Devil Fruit Awakening cause the ground to develop rubber-like properties?"
"Luckily, my Observation Haki has broken through to the King Level, allowing me to see further into the future. Otherwise, even if I could see it just now, I definitely wouldn't have been able to react!"
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Boss Xia Chen again!"
Kaido looked at Luffy not far away, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
When his Observation Haki is at its peak, he can actually see the future briefly, but that future is not far away!
Once his Observation Haki reaches the King Level, he will be able to see into the distant future!
He had foreseen the ground bouncing up before Luffy attacked, and that's why he stopped immediately.
If his Observation Haki were still at its peak, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it. Even if he could see the ground bounce in the future, he wouldn't have enough time to take effective measures.
" Straw Hat Boy! Devil Fruit abilities are all external; only Haki can transcend everything!"
"Next... I'll show you the difference between us!"
Kaido looked at Luffy and said something, then charged at Luffy again.
no way!
To maintain his high-class image, he could only say that, considering the power boost that Luffy's Awakening form has brought him.
He definitely can't compete with them in terms of fruit.
Then the only option is to be more Haki than yourself!
Kaido never imagined that one day he would be embarrassed to mention his Mythical Zoan Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon he had always been so proud of.
It's harmless, though!
Anyway, he's stronger now, that's all that matters!
With this in mind, Kaido increased his speed even further.
Luffy's eyes narrowed upon seeing this.
" Gum-Gum... Gatling!"
Countless fists rained down on the ground, while the ground on Kaido's side continued to bulge.
But even with such a high frequency, none of these attacks landed on Kaido.
Kaido's figure flickered repeatedly among the constantly rising ground, each time just a hair's breadth away, but he just couldn't hit the target.
Even while dodging Luffy's attacks, Kaido's figure continued to close in on Luffy.
They strolled around as if it were their own backyard!
no way!
That's how incredibly powerful King Level Observation Haki is.
"Um?!"
Luffy was slightly surprised to see Kaido dodge his attack so easily.
The offensive was immediately halted.
Otherwise, doing so would just be a pointless waste of energy!
Luffy up on the spot, and the ground caved in like a trampoline the moment he landed.
"Whoosh!"
A whooshing sound rang out, and Luffy's figure shot out instantly, arriving in front of Kaido in the blink of an eye.
Luffy drew his right fist, which suddenly grew dozens of times larger, crackling with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, and slammed it fiercely towards Kaido.
"Come on, Straw Hat Boy!"
Kaido roared and raised his Luffy's fist.
"Boom!"
The moment the two clashed, an extremely powerful shockwave emanated from them and spread outwards.
The ground beneath their feet suddenly shattered and continued to collapse downwards.
"Kundali Longsheng Army!"
Kaido suddenly took a step back, then wrapped his Conqueror's Haki coating the iron rod and swung it rapidly in all directions.
Luffy, Luffy was not to be outdone and continued to throw punches.
Fists and staffs flashed and clashed, sending gusts of sharp wind scattering in all directions.
"Drink!"
With a low growl, the two increased the speed of their attack.
After exchanging blows for a while, the two simultaneously took a step back, then, as if by unspoken agreement, charged forward again, clashing once more...
Meanwhile, Big Mom was also locked in a fierce battle with Zoro and Sanji.
Various powerful attack waves emerged one after another!
The battle had now reached a fever pitch, with both sides sustaining injuries of varying degrees.
After another exchange of blows, the three figures passed each other.
"Phew~"
"Phew~"
The three of them were breathing rapidly, and their faces showed obvious signs of fatigue.
"Those two brats!"
The Big Mom stood atop the black cloud Zeus, holding Napoleon, her gaze fixed intently on Zoro and Sanji below.
"Why are all the Straw Hat Pirates like monsters?!"
" Xia Chen is, Straw Hat Boy is, and now these two guys are too!"
The Big Mom's face turned somewhat grim; at that moment, she felt that the conditions she had set for Xia Chen when she agreed to them were too low.
I thought I was just here to go through the motions, but I never expected I'd have to risk my life for them!
She simply couldn't understand why Zoro and Sanji's strength had increased by a whole level in just a few days.
It wasn't like this just a few days ago when we were fighting them in the Totto Land!
Is there really no problem with this rate of improvement in strength?
To be honest, the Big Mom was very envious! Very jealous!
A mix of emotions welled up inside me, a bittersweet feeling!
Actually, she has already done what Xia Chen asked of her: to put some pressure on the Straw Hat Pirates.
Even if she quits now, Xia Chen can't say anything to her.
But the problem is...
If she doesn't do it now, wouldn't it seem like she's showing weakness?
As the only female emperor to rule the seas for so many years, she is determined to become the Queen of the Sea!
She has her own pride!
She wouldn't allow herself to back down when facing two greenhorns who had only recently set sail.
At this point, the battles with Zoro Sanji were no longer simply a transaction for Big Mom.
Rather, it is a clash between the emperors of the old era and the challengers of the new era!
We must never back down before either side is defeated!
"Phew~"
The Big Mom took a deep breath, then her eyes narrowed, and her aura suddenly changed.
Next...
This is the final battle!
The Big Mom leaped and landed on the ground, pointing the Napoleon in her hand at Zoro and the other man.
Zeus!
Prometheus!
"Yes, Mama!"
Zeus and Prometheus responded simultaneously, and then both attached themselves to Napoleon.
For these items, which were separated from the Big Mom's soul, they resonate with Big Mom feelings.
Naturally, they knew what the Big Mom wanted to do.
A moment later, a weapon composed of the three elements appeared in the Big Mom's hand.
Prometheus held the end of the sword in his mouth, and the top of the sword passed through Zeus, forming an energy ring.
The Big Mom raised the Napoleon high in her hand, her eyes fixed on Zoro and Sanji, and shouted:
"Kids! Get ready!"
"Don't die!"
With that, the Big Mom swung the Napoleon in her hand sharply.
" Maser Cannon!"
