"Hahaha... intern, you're still a long way off!" Shiki laughed mockingly at Kaido, who had several wounds on his body.
Kaido looked exhausted; he clearly hadn't expected the rejuvenated Golden Lion to have such terrifying stamina, fighting for six days and six nights while still appearing completely at ease.
Actually, Kaido misjudged the situation.
Because a few hours earlier, Shiki had secretly used ten years of his life force as a price to restore his physical condition to its peak.
If Shiki hadn't used his life force to replenish his stamina, his condition would definitely be similar to Kaido's at this moment.
Kaido glanced again at the distant volcanic island.
He discovered that the battle between the Big Mom and Blazing Sun was still ongoing, showing no signs of abating.
'This is bad. Shiki still has enough stamina, but I've used up most of mine. I can't keep fighting. I need to find a way to escape...'
Shiki's gaze was deep; he could already sense Kaido fighting spirit: 'Want to retreat? Very well, it's time...'
A subtle electromagnetic wave traveled towards the dark clouds not far away.
"Come! Let's fight to the death! Crimson Heart, God Destroyer!"
" Shiki, come and kill me! Roaring Thunder Bagua!"
The terrifying slashing wave and Conqueror's Haki clashed together.
Boom! The clouds in the sky burst open instantly.
The next second, Shiki closed in at lightning speed and Kaido in close combat with his sword.
Clang clang clang...
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
' Bone Flower - Node!'
Sharp, bony flowers sprouted from every joint of Kaido's body.
"What?"
" Crimson Heart, Demon Slayer!" A short sword inlaid with Seastone pierced Kaido's chest in an instant.
"Damn it!" Kaido suddenly felt powerless. Even though he was immune to low concentrations of Seastone products, Kaido body could hardly be completely immune to high concentrations of Seastone crystals.
In a battle between experts of this caliber, experiencing physical weakness is a potentially fatal crisis.
" Azure Dragon Binding and Killing Formation!" Shiki released a high concentration of Seastone from a storage card hidden in his sleeve, instantly wrapping around Kaido's entire body and even pouring it into his mouth and nose.
"Despicable..." Kaido grew weaker and weaker.
"Hahaha... The victor is king, the loser is villain. You have no right to call others despicable." Shiki laughed as he drew two more Seastone short swords and plunged them into Kaido's collarbone.
Now Kaido was completely powerless to resist.
Although various factions had intelligence personnel secretly monitoring the battle, they could only observe from the distant edge because the fighting affected an area of tens of kilometers.
The nearest city, Morgans, is about ten kilometers away from the core combat zone.
This resulted in no one seeing the moment when Kaido was ambushed by Robin.
However, as the smoke cleared, all the intelligence officers monitoring the situation were taken aback.
Because through their telescopes, they saw Kaido, looking like a dead dog, bound by chains, floating beside the Golden Lion.
Robin's ability is used for surprise attacks, and even those with Observation Haki can't react in an instant, since organ blooming can be performed on any object or creature at any time.
By the time your Observation Haki senses danger, it's already too late.
Moreover, Shiki had borrowed Noah's Conqueror's Haki to constantly interfere with Kaido's Observation Haki at close range.
In a battle between masters, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant.
Just like when Kozuki Oden was fighting Kaido, he was distracted by the old woman from the Kurozumi Family who used the Clone-Clone Fruit to transform into Momonosuke. In that instant, Kozuki Oden was knocked down.
Shiki originally intended to use this move against Big Mom.
Unexpectedly, the Big Mom didn't dare to come alone, but instead went to find her old flame Kaido to come with her. Shiki immediately changed his target.
Compared to Big Mom Pirates, Kaido's Beasts Pirates are more valuable.
"Damn it..." Big Mom also realized that Kaido had been defeated. She gritted her teeth and immediately summoned dark clouds to escape.
Blazing Sun did not stop them. Although bringing out the Noah Family hidden behind the Sky Empire would definitely prevent Big Mom from escaping, it would directly expose the family's hidden strength and might even make them a thorn in the side of the World Government.
The current performance is just right.
Without hesitation, Shiki picked up the Den Den Mushi: "Everyone, listen up! Head to Wano Country at full speed!"
"Receive!"
Dozens of floating Sky Island, carried by Cumuloregalis Cloud, hurtled toward the waters of Wano Country.
As the vanguard, the Flying Fleet possesses astonishing speed.
at the same time.
All parties involved found the outcome unbelievable, but had no choice but to accept reality.
The Golden Lion's power dispelled all attempts by any force to seize the Beasts Pirates ' territory.
After all, those territories are fixed. If we seize them now, and in a few days when Golden Lion has dealt with the remnants of the Beasts Pirates, then we can expect islands to fall from the sky and smash us over the head!
And Onigashima in Wano Country.
King's expression was also very grim. He had received an urgent report from his intelligence personnel that Kaido had been captured by Golden Lion, and that Golden Lion was rapidly advancing towards Wano Country.
"Brother Jin! Let's hurry and go save Kaido!" Jack, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, shouted immediately.
"Idiot!" Queen smacked Jack on the head. "Are you crazy? That's the Golden Lion who defeated Kaido! We couldn't beat him even if we tied ourselves together! King, we need to leave Wano Country immediately, or we'll all be taken prisoner."
The expression beneath the mask of ashes was one of struggle.
Queen noticed King's hesitation and quickly pressed his advantage. "King, don't worry about Boss Kaido. Maybe he can escape from Golden Lion like before. Our priority now is to ensure the Beasts Pirates don't lose any core strength."
"... Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed with Queen's idea: "I will immediately order the core personnel to evacuate from the hidden harbor, while the other peripheral personnel will stay behind."
Queen then remembered something else. "What about the Orochi?"
"Don't worry about it, and don't notify them, otherwise it'll definitely cause trouble. Let that bastard Golden Lion deal with these problems!"
Clearly, King did not consider Orochi as part of the Beasts Pirates, and was even wary of him causing trouble.
To avoid alerting Kaido, King only informed the core members of the organization, without telling the middle-level officers any details. Under the pretext of going out to meet Kaido, the core members and middle-level officers were taken away.
The very moment they entered the harbor.
A bolt of lightning slowly coalesced into a human form, appearing on the giant skull of Onigashima. He had already sensed that Jin and the others' submarine had submerged, and immediately sneered:
"A choice that leads to self-destruction."
If they choose to stay on Onigashima and resist, they might be able to give the Shiki and Noah Family some trouble.
Diving into the sea is another advantageous battlefield for the Noah Family.
A barrage of electromagnetic waves completely blocked Wano Country's external communications.
Meanwhile, Mary, Jay, Vic, Galdino, and others, who were hiding on the seabed surrounding Wano Country, also received Joshua's electromagnetic wave communication and began to surround the exit of the Wano Country underwater tunnel.
